Hi everyone,
I'm currently searching an equivalent to Apple TV app for android. Not only an aggregator like JustWatch but a complete app where you can find movies and series you started and where you stopped.
After some research, I considered to try to make this app but I found no API for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+.
Anyone know of an application that meets these criteria ?
Thank You

I got the Galaxy tab 10.1, but I don't see a Google TV applicaton which plays video contents on Android Market.
I am little confused. will there exist an application to play Google TV content? or We need to buy a Google TV device?
Since I already have the galaxy tab (the hardware), it has android as the OS, it should be more powerful than any Google TV devices (Sony, Logitech Google TV devices), why there still don't have an application to play Google TV on my Tab. Just like the NetFlix app to play Netflix on my tablet.
I heard the Google TV content is free, isn't it?
Will it possible a Google TV app available to my tablet in the future? So I can decide if I need to buy a Google TV device?
Can someone educate me?
Thanks

I have the Sony Google TV device. There's no such thing as a "Google TV app." It's a totally different UI that interfaces with your cable box which it uses as a source of content. It's big advantage is that it allows you to search for content that exists both on cable TV and the Internet at the same time. For example, if you're looking for a specific movie or show it'll search your cable provider, Netflix, and Amazon, and participating networks (there aren't many, they're boycotting Google TV) and display all the choices at the same time. All the apps and content that exist on the TV version of Honeycomb are available in some form on phones and tablets. And any content available for free isn't coming from Google, it's coming from the content providers so if it's free on TV it's free on your phone or Tab.
Expecting Google TV apps being developed for Tablet PCs
Thanks Barry!
Now I understand a bit more about the Google TV. I looked at the Sony blue-ray player (featuring Google TV) and found out it does not need a cable TV input. This means all the video content it searches/plays are from the internet/local USB devices.
This is very similar to my Samsung D8000 smart TV which is internet connected and has the search function built-in (it can find and play movies/videos from YouTube, Netflix,Hulu etc) except is is not Google TV "certified".
I think in theory, the Google TV (content) does not require a extra hardware (like Sony or Logitech players) if you already have a tablet that connects to the Internet. Tablets can play the Google TV content as long as they have an application which can search and plays videos. So, I believe it is just a matter of time for applications be developed for existing tablets (android OS or iPad).
Please correct me if my hypothesis is wrong.
Thanks for your answers!
Ok, from what i understood good TV is basically android based device with hardware similar to an average android phone and the Google TV app on top.
If that's the case can't we use our android phones with HDMI out and this app just like google TV?
I tried to download the app from the market but it said it's not compatible with my device, i guess it's limited for just google tv devices.
Is there a way around that?
Good question! I also would like to know if there is a way to do this.
Well it kinda seems that nobody knows?
Yeah nobody knows, and it would be so cool.
Ok so under the MyNet app that came with the ATP it picks up my Direct TV DVR (Using TVersity) and shows all the programs i have on my DVR, but it wont play any of them. Is there someone who can help me set this up so I can watch my DVR shows on the prime..if possible.
I have the same issue, it can see the movies but won't play them. Interesting it has no time length for the movies.

From what I've read on other sites our DirecTV receivers have a UPNP server in them which is what allows us to see it with the mycloud app. However, they implemented DTCP/IP for encrypting the video. I've not seen any apps that will play it for Android or Linux. I've seen some requests for mythtv and something else to support it but DTCP you have to pay just to get the specs. Hopefully DirecTV will update their app to be on par with the Apple that allows playback. Or maybe someone will leak the spec and the open source community will develop a library to support it in other apps.
Hello, I hope it is the right section to post, I'm new.
Then I explain what my problem if someone experienced or to which they will help me. You know the app for Android ITALIAN TV (TV ITALIANE) Network that allows streaming italian channel tv rai and Mediaset? app well designed.
I decided I had to develop an app very similar to watching tv make Rai and Mediaset. I state that I am not a developer, i can use a online tool to create this app. More than anything else is the passion I have. Having said that we pass to the facts. If I want to put a channel into the player and make him play Vitamio or FPLAYER without advertising how do you know? it is complicated? I'd like to understand how it works. The app I'm already has developed and improved. The only flaw is that else is publicity d beginning 13 seconds and then closes and starts automatically. But if there was a way, like TV ITALIANE or mega one to start the video without advertising would fit better and especially to make them work better on tablets and smartphones. MANY THANKS TO ALL!
If you want to test my app and give me advice

Sorry for the translation. Basically I would like to create an app to watch Channel TV streaming videos without ads and place them inside a plugin/player as vitamio or other programs how do you? equal to the app to see the American TV.
THANKS
Hi android enthusiast.
I wonder if you around here are also into PC game streaming. Like on Twitch or on youtube.
If so, you might have fallen over the new Elgato Stream Deck Hardware: https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck
Do you guys know if something similar and software based exists for Android?
Wouldn't it be great to manage your Streams but with your mobile phones?
Maybe one of you Magic Devs on here has a bit free time and could look into it and maybe it's possible to have an android stream deck on time.
regards
I know this is an ancient question, but just in case anyone is wondering you can create something similar using Tasker to do anything on an android. You can create a UI using AutoTools WebView. There are many ways to interface with the PC, but the integrated one would be to use Join and EventGhost.
