Hey, not too sure if it was in the "beyond froyo" section - but i'm pretty sure Froyo was supposed to be able to sync music OTA, can't seem to find the option though.
Anyone found a solution to this one?

The streaming capabilities are already in the OS, it came along with the cloud to phone notifications. The software is not done yet. Simplify Media is the company in charge of the streaming software. On their blog it says that they pulled their iPhone and desktop apps last month and that they will support existing accounts for at least 3 months. Based on that, I would guess we'll see the software mid-summer, probably around the iPhone launch.

This seems to be what everyone is saying in the other threads and although DoubleTwist syncs well with the Nexus One and on Mac has a built in Market, their Android apps isn't out yet which means no streaming which is what everyone is asking for. So unless I'm mistaken, either way you're going to have to wait to stream.

NETFLIX--well now that we got flash I tried to stream a movie running 2.2 froyo and get an error below. Can someone confirm this does not work or can someone trick the system to see if we can get it to work. I know we got a 1ghz processor, can we trick it to think we got 1.2????

It (i would think) has nothing to do with the proc speed and everything to do with the user agent your browser is sending. Can you change the user agent on stock browser in froyo? (i just switched back to CM couple nights ago so can't check). In the browser in CM, at least, if you hit menu, settings, there is a drop down for user agent. I'd bet either desktop or ie6 would do it.
I never tested flash on froyo with other browsers, but for some reason I think I recall reading it worked with dolphin or one of the other popular ones? pretty sure all the third party ones have customizable user agents as well.
Hope this helps.

As I pointed out above it says "firefox 2 or higher", and also just noticed mac requirements. There has to be a flash alternative as well...
Edit: apparently you can get silverlight on mac as well... Who knew...
Tho the silverlight plugins for FF are for 3.0+ I *believe* so either 2.0 or higher is a mistake, or there is an alternative, or i'm just completely wrong? hahahaha.
thanks Gimp...i got farther...now like darkjedi said can you install Silverlight on nexus?? I also search and found something called moonlight which is open source...wonder if someone can make a plugin for our browser. i think this can be accomplished but i am not a technical person.
Linux nerds have been trying to get Netflix streaming working since it premiered. It's not gonna happen due to DRM, at least not until MS releases an official plugin for Linux, and only then might we see it pop up on Android.
Sorry.
Not gonna happen. All you can do is wait till the official app peeks it's head out.
Good news everyone! "Netflix is looking for a great engineer to help us build Instant Streaming client implementations on Android devices." Source: jobs.netflix.com/DetailFlix.asp?jobid=flix3724
It might take a while, but the official client is coming...
one thing's for sure, the 'requirements' above mentioned have nothing to do with flash, its about processing power and silverlight requirements. netflix was recently seen streaming on a jailbroken iphone (hackingnetflix.com) so it shouldn't be long!
Hey guys, I changed my UAstring by typing about:debug in the url bar and hitting go, then pressing menu and going to settings. I had set it to desktop and tried streaming netflix then, it said I still needed to install silverlight
Did you read the 1st page in this thread?
Can someone explain to me what flash has to do with netflix? Netflix doesn't, nor has it ever, used flash, this thread needs to disappear

There has been reports of a netflix employee saying that they are working on an android app.
So what does this thread have to do with getting a working Silverlight plugin for Android browsers?

There is no silverlight for Linux and thus none for Android
The only thing we can do is wait for the official app.
The official app is in the works and will be released soon

Hey all, i found this cool little app last night so i thought i better share it with you all.
Its called ShareMe Free (although there is a paid version also) and its on the market.
It sets up a UPnP/DLNA client on your phone and can stream to other devices via wireless So damn easy to setup, and it just works.
ShareMe Free is limited to 5 files only, so only really good for testing purposes, but the full version has no limitations.
I connected to my wireless, started the ShareMe server on my phone and it just popped up on my PS3. I was able to stream an episode of Family Guy straight from my phones SD card.
And btw, it works on 2.2 AOSP also
Hopefully this helps someone out
And as it is a free app, i might as well attach it here.
Thanks for sharing!
Also, keep your eye on "Remote Media!". It also claims to do the same thing.
Edit: I guess there are a few in the market that do the same thing now that I look more closely.

Hey all a friend of mine told me of this great website...www.icefilms.info...It lets you stream movies right to your windows or mac comp. and even smart phones. Problem is I can't find a way to get it to work for the g tab. It uses a couple of programs and they are as follows:
-DivX web player, which compresses the video
-Grease monkey (monkey script), which reads the file to play the video
-ICE Quick stream, which allows you to stream video from megaupload and
2shared
I see that other ice film members got Grease monkey to work with IE, Firefox, Safari, and Google chrome. I found another user who got it to work with Ubuntu (although you had to jump through several hoops to make it work, seemed kinda difficult)
So my question is, how do I get this to work on my g tab? (I'm pretty new at this but I tried to download all the browsers since flashing my unit with tnt lite 2.2 and I keep getting an error message). So do I have to flash a new OS like windows, OSX, Ubuntu, or Linux? or is there a way to keep my android platform? (which I really like cause of the app store and I don't want to lose t
It seems like a real difficult question (to me anyway) but for anyone who can help I thank you a million times in advace
Why don't you go the smartphone route? The Android browser is not equal to Google Chrome or other browsers as it is more limited in functionality.
If the requirements are all 3 apps listed above, then you most likely need a different OS (or choose the smartphone option).
Have you tried the thread about playing on Android phones?
http://forum.icefilms.info/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13540
No I haven't but will check that right now thanks, as for the smart phone way....just didn't want to do that cause if i'm watching a movie and someone calls it interferes with the movie also wanted to take advantage of the dock with the HDMI out on it to hook to my tv. I'll let you know if that thread works....thanks again
It worked thanks. I remember reading this post a couple weeks ago, but when it was talking about doing it on the phone I didn't think it would work on the g tablet. Like I said I'm pretty new at all this stuff but learning real fast with some great help. I am going to post a thread how to do it cause there are 2 different ways, you can use the yx player or you can watch it right on megaupload.

Hi all,
I'm writing this because I really don't understand what's is the point with Apollo.
It seems that the developer was copying things from Play Music and trying to make an app from scratch.
But, it totally lacks features and doesn't address any previous shorcomings:
No Various Artists grouping
No Replay Gain
No settings at all
No album arts stored in the files/folders
Albums downloaded are bad resolution and not able to change them
Not so smooth interface
No folder selection to play music from
Unstable (Sometimes it just stopped playing)
Seems somewhat heavier that Play Music
And on top of this.. it is integrated in CM9 and with version 1.00. Then, voodoo sound doesn't get integrated. Not only that, but there is a plan to charge for "premium" features, like what? Change the album art or pick it from the files itself??
I'm happy with CM9 as they are adding features and addressing issues, but this Apollo is annoying.
Really.. Am I missing something?
I don't know, I think that Play Music is so much better than this one.

You're missing the fact that Apollo is still a work in progress.
I'm using Apollo over PowerAmp Pro because the DSPManager from CM9 is incompatible with the latter (in my case, at least).
Trimis de pe Defy CM9
I think the biggest problem with Apollo (and all other 3rd party music apps) is that it isn't able to integrate with my Play Music library. This is of course a failure on Google's part for not providing an official API.
I've been moving toward uploading more and more of my library to Play Music so that I don't have to carry so much around on my external SD card, opening up more space for storing videos, pictures, etc. Eventually Apollo isn't going to have much to work with...
Well, not everyone has unlimited data plans and not all areas have good coverage. Also, I like to keep my data locally (at least important or large stuff).

I understand that. I certainly don't have an unlimited plan or the greatest coverage 24/7 either. But you can sync stuff from your Play Music library to your phone while on WiFi for offline playing, so you can kind of have it both ways.
And I guess that means you could potentially sync your Google music and then play it through Apollo. (Assuming Google syncs them as normal mp3 files and not some weird encrypted DRM format.) But it's still annoying to need multiple apps installed.
4. No album arts stored in the files/folders
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep, that's retarded. I love the artist photo dowload, but why not use the album art that is already there (either inside the MP3 or in the folder) instead of downloading a craptastic low res image? I hope that's not supposed to be a future premium feature (I can only think it will, since using a local picture seems easier to implement than downloading it).
Also, no AlbumArtist/Band support, it seems. I have compilations and OSTs and they appear spread in the Artist tab, instead of appearing once under "Various" or "<Name of the film>"
I was removing Music.apk and replacing it with PlayMusic.apk before flashing. Will do the same with Apollo.apk for now.
(edit) Reading the author's google+ comments:
Settings are supposed to be that way. You don't need as many as you did in previous versions, but I will be including more in the Play Store version. One of which is a different way to set album art and such
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it seems local album art will be reserved for paying users, although most people there are asking for this feature. Goodbye Apollo, then; going back to Google player.
Yes, I was using apk replacement a while ago. I really wanted to download flash but I guess I will have to use PC, edit and then flash.
What I would really like to know is how difficult is to implement Replay Gain that is around for a while.
I can't stand how Apollo won't use the album art that comes with the songs. If it already has album art it'll still show the "Apollo - Illuminate Your Music" art since it can't find it online...even though I already have it.
It's stressing. And the art it does find is so grainy and low quality.
My biggest gripe is that Apollo doesn't use the equalizer. I just flash the old original cm9 music whenever a new build comes out. Even though it's kind of cpu heavy.
I simply can't understand why such an app can make it's way to cyanogenmod...
It has no settings at all, you aren't asked if you want to download covers or use those in the music files, the app simply starts downloading.
This is not the way a cyanogenmod app should be or behave!
I tried the January version of Apollo... well there are the missing settings but the rest of the old version is really slow and often not responding.
So I switched back to the old cm9 music app.. it is a nice feature of ICS that you can deactivate system apps ;-)
i expected it to be on the market by now
I guess one can freeze the app and use something else but I liked it for what it offers. It still seems there is much work to do. It works with DSP. That is nice. Downloads artist pics, but when you click on them, you get a FB's timeline type, rectangular frame where you can't really see the pic. Add some settings, and include a dark theme, don't let us download it.

Same feeling here, rest of CM is working really nice. Also battery is nice, I can get 1 day with normal usage.
It's in the market from today, 5.31. Description is lacking imo. Cost: 4.64. No free version listed in developer's other app section. Weird thing:i downloaded app from web and market showed as the app already installed. If true that it's the exact same app as the 5.21 release, it's definitely not worth the price at this point. Imo. Also, imo, based on developer's track record, I'm not sure how quick updates will be.

The dev said it would be 2.3+ compatible. Could you send me the link to the app on Play Store? I can't find it

Hi,i think someone might've been trying to steal the dev's work. Was wondering this after my first post as there was no communication from Dev's site today. i can't find the app in the market now either. maybe Google took it down.someone did link to it on dev's g+ page in the comments section today. But someone there also suggested the app was probably not official. Sorry for the confusion. I'm just as curious as the next person to see what the official app looks like, hence my 1st post.
Edit: just checked link on Dev's g+ page and link still is live. The app in the mkt is listed under the developer name: living water. another issue is the mkt icon is not the Dev's official icon which should've been a red flag for me. sorry again.

Where can I submit a request for the app?
One feature that I would really love is being able to listen to music by folder. It seems to have everything else but this. EG Artist, album, genre, etc.
I store my workout music in a workout folder and I would like to be able to just select that.
I know I could create a playlist for each folder but then I need to update it all the time.
PLEASE ADD FOLDER PLAY OPTION.
I realize this might be more of an apple question but i feel like ive already searched to the ends of the interweb on apple forums and gotten nowhere and when i ask a question over there the only answer i seem to get is "shouldve bought an ipad"... So I'm wondering if there is a way to sync an itunes library with an android device without a computer? As far as i know, all of the common apps out there (doubletwist, airbind, etc) need to be set up on a computer first. Im trying to bypass this step with my little brothers iphone 5 and a rooted android tablet with ICS. I bouht him the tablet for xmas, but decided to give it to him early when his laptop was stolen earlier this week. He doesnt live near me or i would let him use my laptop to sync with his itunes. Is this even possible? Or will he need to find a computer? Please help!!!
There's doubleTwist player on Play Store which I've heard is pretty awesome at syncing iTunes- all for free. If you dkm't need a whole new player then there's quite a few other apps on market, not sure how reliable they are though...
Soryuu, thanks for the reply. My understanding is that you still need a mac or Windows computer to set up doubletwist I initially? Or am I wrong? Can I do this with just an iPhone and an android device??
Edit: Yeah, you need a desktop to work doubleTwist/Airsync and so on.
An iPhone and an Android device?
I don't think there's any easy solution to this except using cloud storage like Google Drive or something- which would be slow enough on its own- and even then, depending on how many songs you have it'd be a tediously slow process downloading them onto the tablet. If you are using cloud storage... I've never used iPhones so I don't know but can they make zips out of files? If you can that may make it slightly easier- zip the music up (if possible), upload to the cloud and then download it as one package.
There is this app that seems to work like NFC: http://m.wikihow.com/Use-Bump-Between-an-iPhone-and-Android
But 1.) Not sure about tablets- I assume so if its that popular of an app but there was no mention and
2.) Apparently its semi-functional according to some of the reviews I've seen.
I guess you could try it out and see what happens.
Other than that I don't think there's much else...
