[Q] megavideo?

I just got my gtab yesterday. Changed some stuff today. rooted, installed tnt lite, titanium backup, dolphin browser. Yet I cannot get any web-based tv to work. I like to watch stuff on megavideo or wisevid, but neither one wants to work. I get about a half second of sound on megavideo before it totally boots me from the browser.
I get "Data connectivity problem: The connection to the server was unsuccessful." just trying to load the megavideo page, not even the video yet.
I hit "Okay" and the page still displays. I press the play button and half a second of sound later... I'm booted.
What can I do?
Thanks!

Are you using a browser or an app? I use TV Shows Stream, and it works great. http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv-shows-stream/tvshows.kiio.es

Are you using the correct flash .APK? A link to it should be in the "Apps" forum in one of the stickies.

Using a browser. am off to try the lite version of that app, but the main reason I use browser is there are more accessible shows on the internet than most apps will have. I like british tv and lots of odd sci-fi type stuff.

okay, just tried the tv app and got booted back to the app every time I tried to view an episode. I'm guessing it's something to do with my flash version. How do I find out what I have vs what I need? I could not find the link in the app forum. please help.

have you tried this application? it's still a beta, but it should be working fine, NO FLASH REQUIRED!

[Q] Few Questions Before I Buy...

I am looking at getting this as a replacement for my old laptop. However, I need to make sure it is capable of doing certain things that I do regularly.
1. I log into my server at home via my wifi connection to copy files from one directory to another (from downloads to tv shows for example).
2. I launch torrent files (legit ones like Pioneer One) for my server to download. at them moment, i click on a torrent file from isohunt or demonoid which sends it to my ubuntu server running transmission to download (fully automatic).
3. I keep checking out webpages like streetfire.net and todaysbigthing.com. Will the videos on these sites play?
4. Google Calendar is a key app I use. How is this with the transformer using the web rather than an app (if available)? I know Google Docs is a no go at the moment (hopefully fixing in 3.1?)
These are the main things (i guess i dont need a lot of power!) i do daily. Will the Transformer cope?

I'll let someone else tackle the rest, but this is one I do regularly. I use Transdroid, a free (but please donate!) Transmission remote to start and monitor torrents on my home server. I have a port open on my firewall for management so I can get the status of my torrents on my phone (nexus one) or Transformer via a desktop widget.
I also have Mediatomb running on the server to share out media from the directory that Transmission downloads to via DLNA. Unfortunately the Transformer has a lot of limitations on video it will play with the built-in DLNA client. When I get off my ass, I'll take advantage of the transcoder support in Mediatomb to automatically convert video files as they arrive in the folder.

Thats fairly key for me. Do you have to download the torrent to the TF first, or can you click the link in browser or firefox for it to automatically do its stuff? Thats how i do it at the moment with a firefox plugin.

1. Phone My PC app is all you'd ever need. Works very well.
4. Loads of apps for this, or yeah if you just want to use the built in honeycomb one or just the browser version they all work nicely. With HC 3.1 the customisable widget should be handy too.

ES File manager can shift files between shared folders, but one of the many different remote desktop solutions is probably easier
2. I launch torrent files (legit ones like Pioneer One) for my server to download. at them moment, i click on a torrent file from isohunt or demonoid which sends it to my ubuntu server running transmission to download (fully automatic).
Transdroid will send the torrent to your server without an issue. you download the .torrent file, and open it in Transdroid. Very easy
3. I keep checking out webpages like streetfire.net and todaysbigthing.com. Will the videos on these sites play?
Can't get either of these sites to play videos
4. Google Calendar is a key app I use. How is this with the transformer using the web rather than an app (if available)? I know Google Docs is a no go at the moment (hopefully fixing in 3.1?)
The built in Gcal app is superb

I had to add this to post my inline reply...

Thanks for that guys! Really appreciate the quick replies.... but i guess little excuse needed to play right?

Can someone tell me if the site http://www.bestofyoutube.com/ works on the TF?

For Number 3, I tried streetfire.net and todaysbigthing.com. They both work great in the stock browser with Flash 10.3. Streetfire takes some time to load though.
Bestofyoutube also works on the TF.

I can't test it for you, but they are all youtube videos, so yes.

a way to improve facebook games performance

I have an acer Iconia with Honeycomb, I was wondering if there was a way to improve the performance of the facebook games, they are unplayable , the one I mostly tested it on is Ravenwood fair. I know its not a hardware problem because it actually plays other games that arent facebook apps pretty well.

right click inside game app and flash setting should come up. there change permission to use mx offline cache. this will increase performance drastically. let me know if this helps.

how do you right click?
I found flash settings manager, but it keeps reverting to the mobile manager, which has very little options

It must be detecting the browser as a mobile app. Try the following. Intructions are for the default web browser.
1.Download and install Flash 10.1 from market (skip if already installed)
2.Open your browser, go to facebook.
3.type into the browser about:debug and press go. The browser will go right back to the same screen you were on previously and it appears that nothing happens.
4.Press your menu button(bottom left physical button)
5.Press "MORE"
6.Scroll down to "Settings"
7.Scroll all the way down to the bottom where you see "UA STRING"
8Choose "Desktop" This will "trick" websites into thinking you are logging in from a PC computer and not a Droid.
9.Hit back until you are on the facebook page again.
10. Refresh your browser and launch Farmville!!!
After completing the above steps you should be able to get the regular settings manager for flash. Enjoy!
Enjoy

ua string is desktop, the regular manager flashes up for a second and then it goes back to mobile.

since i never could get the regular settings manager to stay up. I brought it up on my computer, I do not see a mx offline cache setting.

try a different browser. clicky here: Boat Browser

naw still waiting on chrome to be released, they said we would get a soon ... a month ago. i doubt switching browsers will work . anyway once I finally get it working the game apps will probably move to html 5 lol. I have been trying all sorts of things to try to get them to work since I got this tab in may.

Does anyone have a clue what omnichron is talking about. Permission set mx offline cache , ha google comes up with this thread. He is smart enogh to get it working but cant tell anyone the proper steps......or he is just trolling

is this still a no go with ICS? heck about all I wanted to do with the tablet was play facebook games and read forums, at least I can read forums on it.

[Q] javascript / browser security advice.

Hey guys, I'm currently using a HTC sensation with the default browser.
The other day a website I was on redirected me to an untrustworthy site which then (via javascript) started an automatic download (virus) I quickly killed my connection and deleted the partial download.
So on my PC I run Google chrome with a "click to play" plugin to avoid rogue javascripts, I am looking for something similar for my phone.
I know chrome is available for my phone however it does not support flash player which is a requirement, I am aware my current browser has a "on demand" option for plugins but I have tested it and it doesn't work.
I tried opera today and couldn't get along with it.
Could anyone tell me the best way to control what gets downloaded from websites on my phone.
Thankyou in advance for any helpful replies. D

I mean, maybe I have been amiss, but I was under the longstanding impression that hijacks, viruses, and all such malware really didn't effect Linux systems. Like, at all.

Well I don't know much about these operating systems but an executable that downloads itself is not something I want on my phone, regardless of its capabilities.
It was an android application package I do not know if its able to extract itself or if it relies on the user to click on it in the download section, don't know what it installs but I'd rather not find out.

[Q] GB browser that get along with sites with troubled ssl.. that tops Opera Mobile

hello guys, I wanna ask you about android gingerbread browser (not specifically for GB, but that runs well) that can browse and download on secure sites with troubled ssl certificates. but I maybe also gonna discuss about opera mobile a lot.
I've tried a bunch of top notch browsers, and Opera Mobile happen to be the closest to perfection.
on the first attempt most browsers fail to load the site, it just trying to load all the time. like trying to do something that they don't know how to do it.
for smarter browsers that notice the problematic certificate, it prompt an action and allow us to browse. but not with downloading. it seems like it only use the ssl-notice-and-allow intelligence to browse and left behind the downloading part. make it looks like a smart-stupid split personality for browse-download activity.
for firefox : F***ING LAG, don't bother trying.
On the other hand Opera Mobile use the intelligence for both activities. if not because of the utter crap download manager, the browser could be the best.
Opera, while developing some of their apps for android all this time, they still have no idea on how the download manager works on android. maybe they still stuck on java j2me environtment mindset.
They have NO DOWNLOAD NOTIFICATION for all of their apps. they also unaware of the android system's slaughtering for apps that running in the background. So when we downloading some files then we leave it for some while, when we go back to the apps there are 3 possibilities :
1 - the download still running good, lucky you
2 - the download interrupted and fail, this will likely to happen
3 - the apps killed and reloaded with failed download, the only special abilities that Opera apps have
The hell? How could I enjoy my multitasking device with these conditions?
any suggestions for good browser out there?
