BBC iPlayer App

Just testing this on the Tab on WiFi.
The quality is superb. Works perfectly so far
Top Job BBC !!

Will have to try it here on the USA, i am running JME European rom. Lets see if i get denied access sin i am not in the UK.

Hopefully it will work for you.
Def gonna be one of my most used apps

Well what do you know, i can't find it on the market. Can you share the .apk with us?
EDIT: i have tried using market enabler but still can't find it on the market, i need a UK provider or the .apk

I have to disagree - it's a massive fail in the scheme of things!
The iPad streams are better quality than the Flash streams we have to put up with, and the BBC could easily make them compatible with all Android devices.
In addition, not being able to use the app over 3G is poor when you consider that you can from the "web" client.

i agree with you in regards to only having it on wifi, they should update it to be able to use it via 3g but then again if you are trying to view videos they would work better on wifi than 3g but but its early on Android so we will have to wait and see..

I have watched 2 programmes and they have worked flawlessly.
I am well happy.
The apk is attached

Yes, but I'd rather have the option of watching a slightly lower quality stream over 3G, than no stream at all when you're not near a WiFi hotspot.
The irony is that there were 2 perfectly good 3rd party iPlayer solutions (BeebPlayer and myPlayer) that did (and still do!) work over both 3G and WiFi using the 3GP streams intended for Nokia phones, but the BBC had them removed from the Market.
What they have replaced them with is a Flash based solution which only works on ARM7 class devices thus shutting off a good percentage of Android users.

Dave

Well as i imagined it did not work, it installs and all but the i get the dreaded message "BBC iPlayer is only available within the United Kingdom". Oh well it was worth a try.

Just tested it with a MiFi and it plays fine. I can only get 3G where i live but there didnt seem to be any problems.

Anyone else having formatting problems?
The video thumbnails overlay the text on some pages.

Yep It all goes wrong when you change video quality and rotate when not in full screen

outside uk
is there anyway to get this working outside the uk?
we can trick the market app with marketenabler, can we do the same with this?
can anyone send me there uk service provider id number, the thing that gets changed in the market enabler, so i can try it out?

There is a way, it's called VPN, but it's hard to find a free UK VPN. Most of them are paid VPNs.

and do these vpns work over 3g?

I agree that the ipad version stream is higher quality than the Android. Bit pissed off with the beeb for that... also as mentioned there are some oddities with presentation when using it on the tab. Hopefully these things will be addressed soon. Not a bad first effort though, and useful for the live tv feed if nothing else.

can anyone help with keeping the iplayer app running?
On my 10.1, it opens a web browser. When i play something like a radio program, you need to keep on that page. If you navigate away from the page or even lock the tablet, the iplayer stops. This means you have to just leave the tablet displaying the page your listening too. This will obviously run down the powqer quicker. Surely you can multitask on the 10.1?

[Q&A] I received my Google Music Beta invite. What do you want to know?

I just received my Google Music Beta invite. I have a Xoom VZ 3G.
I'm currently in the process of loading all my music. This post is here to answer questions that anyone might have on how it works.
So far I'm pulling the media from a network share, but I might switch it to iTunes once it finishes. The reason for that is I'd like to have the compatibility of sharing playlists, track rating, and play count. I'm only assuming you need to use the iTunes sync feature of the Music Manager to accomplish. I wish it would talk to all apps, but maybe some day.
There is suppose to be a limit on the number of songs you can upload, and when I told it where my collection was it did complain that I had more than 20k tracks. It did however start uploading anyway. Its currently at 120 of 29090.
Its uploading quick, I have Fios, and its doing about 8-10 mbits up.
Also my Xoom and the Nexus S 4G picked up that I've been approved for Google Music Beta.
On the Xoom, it doesn't appear you can access the instant mixes, at least that I can find. Nor does it seem to be syncing playlists that I created online on either the tablet or the phone.
The Xoom has a manual sync, but the phone does not, even refreshing on the xoom doesn't update the playlist.
So far everything that has been uploaded plays well and its smooth, we'll see how the interface is with 20k songs in it.
So, What do you wanna know?

Just got my invite too, have about 20 songs up there and the xoom hasn't got them yet, and the music app fcs on my epic with ee03.
Edit: songs just got here after about twenty minutes...prompted me to allow sync at least...music was there almost instantly after the prompt.

Got my invite today, still uploading (it's been about 45 minutes now). Music hasn't shown up on my Xoom or Droid X.
Did you guys get prompted to sync music after the initial upload was done?

Yes, its a setting under preferences if you want it to always look for new content.

I think they opened the floodgates today. At least, that's what engadget is reporting. Got mine also; I think I might love it...

gotcha, my uploads are going fine, just wondering why I'm not seeing anything on android yet. Guess I'm just too impatient.

how does it handle duplicate music stored locally on your xoom and uploaded to google music?

It must generate some hash, because it considered the ones I already had on my xoom as downloaded.
My playlists have started syncing, I guess it just took some time for the servers to play catchup, but i'm at about 1946 - 29090 files uploaded.

Must just take time. Let mine finish uploading overnight. Opened music app this morning on the DX and now when I hit the menu button I get a settings option to control synced music. Everything shows up now.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I uploadeed about 11 albums last night. One thing i really hate is the uploading program. Amazon has google beat there big time. The music manager program locks up a lot and tries to re-upload everything. I'm not sure what the lock up is from im sure its not the specs of my netbook causing it cause they are better then some desktops. Heres to hoping google makes a better way to upload.

I can't even sync at all??

[Q] TV Shows Stream app suddenly not working?

Sorry in advance if this is the wrong spot for this, I posted in Thunderbolt forum but I don't think it's a phone-specific issue.
...
Anybody else notice this? The past 2 days I can't get TV Shows Stream to play any videos. App loads, can search for shows and see the lists, but nothing will play. Looked around, googled, couldn't find any recent chatter about it. I've been using it a LOT on my TB.
I know it's no longer available in the market, but I was under the assumption that if you had it it would still work.

Loombo, frogmovz and karambavidz stopped working few days ago. This issue is not related with the app itself.
You can check that the video servers are unavailable from any browser
(frogmovz.com, karambavidz.com, loombo.com).
Those video servers are totally external with tv shows stream.
As soon as those sites works again, the app will work as usual.
Megavideo links (and secondary links) are working as usual.
You can follow the main XDA tv shows stream lite thread here :

Super video floating video issues

Is anyone having issues with this app. I am getting constant error everytime I try to play a video. Not sure if the new YouTube update or the app update caused issues..
Just wondering if others are seeing this. I emailed the dev but have not heard back yet.

I sometimes get that , certain youtube videos not playing, i always assumed it was some sort of license/drm bollocks, as they worked on the browser no problem, but the vie3os i try playing that doesnt recieve an error message still play for me, although im noticing a performance decline,.
Ive updated the app itself about twice now with the performance decline still there, but not sure if thats the cause in my case, as ive also recently started somewhat tweaking my tab i.e. rooting, droidwall, disabling apps.........thats pretty much it at the moment, dont suppose you've been doing any of these things recently, just to rule it out?
Im also noticing that the stock browser isnt loading pages as quickly as it used to(sometimes it does, sometimes it hangs for a bit), but that may be a seperate issue, which may just affect my particular setup, but worth asking again, to rule things out
Gd luck with that either way, and let us know if you find a solution to your particular problem, heres one guy who'd be interested in knowing if there is a fix for that

Thanks for the reply.
I am completely stock and dont have the pulled OTA either.
The super video has been working fine for the the month that i had it never once getting an error for any youtube vids. I havent use it for a few days and than today i noticed an error when trying to use it. I know it just updated the app and youtube app. not sure if that caused it. But ant be a coincidense. i even went back to play vids i played before on it from links and they dont work. but if you open the super video app i can play the couple short test vids i did with the note that are stored on the note.
no issues with the stock browser.

Thanks for the feedback on the stock browser, i guess thats something i need to figure out on my particular setup, gonna wait for jellybean and see if a wipe and factory reset fixes things, before instaling apps and light tweaking, hopefully point me in the right direction to the culprit

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.

Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

What!? I didnt know thats even possible! Spotify app for android got 100000x more useful for me. I can finally skip forever and even fast forward the music. Its sooo much better. You deserve a medal and million likes. :laugh:

Op pls can you upload this mode in a diff site cos mega is down. And secondly can you help me with little explanation as to how to install this or all I need is to just install the apk after the download. I haven't installed spotify b4 that's why . Thanks for the response in advance

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.

@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.
