Anyone heard anything about using PlayOn with the gtab?
Would solve the issue with netflix and streaming my dvd collection on the nas box.
I use playon and some of it works, most doesn't. Hulu and Tv.com shows for example don't get past the initial ad. I use UpNPlay to access the Playon server from my tablet.
Playon works good with my PC's but not with the tablet.
Hrm...not really working for me...It can't find a video player to play the feed back successfully....
Bump!
I have the UnPlay app and PlayOn with the mobile settings enabled and the port opened. I can connect to my PlayOn Server Via 3g and via Wifi but I can't get the video to play over 3g... only works on Wifi it looks like it's going to play but then just flashes back to UnPlay! Also there's no cover art (screenshots) being displayed for anything at all like there is when browsing on wifi
I just signed up for the PlayOn Android beta but I don't know if i'll be selected or not.
Would be nice!

There's another thread from the other day on Netflix and Playon. The latest version added Android support to the mobile interface. Make sure you have the latest version installed and go to m.playon.tv from your local network. You should see your PlayOn server and be able to watch videos. I've only tried it with the Dolphin browser, make sure your user agent is set to Android. I even managed to connect to it ouside of my home network with my EVO over 3g and watch a Netflix movie.
This is working for me too. Make sure the user agent is set correctly as Matt said.
Does it seem like if you stop a video on a playon client the server still uploads or continues encoding? It's like the stream does not stop from the server.
playon works for me - including hulu and netflix on vegan 5.1 with Pershoot kernal (first time I've been able to see hulu!)
had to map the port mentioned in the playon settings interface in my router...
even works with the dock and an ethernet connection.
Started testing out the new beta for android support today on my tab and Evo. Works fairly well so far as you switch to the Phone display mode in your browser. A few little issues, but its still beta.
Playon and Netflix
Through Playon, I finally have access to Netflix! PlayOn is an additional cost and it does require a server running on a PC but I think it is worth it (for the short term anyways...).
My location: Canada -- apparently we are 3rd world when it comes to media streaming ...
My setup: GtabComb 3.1 on BL1.1. I have 10.3 Flash and using Opera Mobile and I have the Playon app loaded on my Gtab.
My Netflix setup: I am on the 30 day trial right now.
My PC setup: I started with the latest Playon version 3.3.8.2110 but that wouldn't let me login to Netflix. I contacted the PlayOn support group and they set me up with a PlayOn 3.3.9 patch. I ran the patch and my Netflix login issues went away.
Everything seems to play ok. One quirk with my HC setup is that I have to play the movie in full screen or else I seem to just get audio. I think this is a known limitation with this version of HC/flash. I will report back if I encounter issues.

I have been using hamachi to make a vpn to my home machine where i have orb installed, I use a upnp plugin to stream music to my phone. I however just flashed earlier today, I thought i got it set up just the same but for some reason its not working. The hamachi connection is just fine, i can message back and forth. And even in pocket player i can view my music, however when i got to play the music it just doesn't seem to want to. Any ideas? If i can get this to work i would be more then happy to make a tutorial on how all this works. But something funny is going on currently.
Thanks

Hello,
Wondering if I can get some general help, I know the google TV is american only but I like to have some fun as well.
First, I can't download the google TV Remote app on my samsung galaxy i9000, I've tired downloading an .apk but it just didn't work, any suggestion or how to guides on this.
The Google TV works better than I first though it would in canada I can control my PVR some what and I faked an american comcast zip code and the search feature works some what but of course the programming and channel numbers for comcast don't match my Shaw Cable account, is there any way around that, in the settings I noticed it was pulling that info from some file, any idea how to trick it?
Also I am quite disappointed with the way I can't play almost any media files on my computer, the closest I have come is using my playon media service and the m.playon.tv with my lan on the google chrome but its so bad, was getting some Hulu access if I was running my VPN but I kept getting time out errors, worked fine on my phone browser tho. Any suggestions or other programs or ways?
Forgot to add, I am using the Logitech Revue
Thanks
Dave
Bump!/Update
Very much thanks to BluechipJ for sending me the google TV app, worked out great.
So more of the reading I've done seems that this box just doesn't support local media files very well, I've tired a few media servers,
TVersity worked somewhat good, some play back on all files but still couldn't get a great all around experience.
Playon which has been my main media server works the best so far, but only on the mobile side, if you use the browser and go to m.playon.tv and have it setup on your computer you get access to hulu (with VPN) and all your media. Interface is not very good on the m.playon side but it works. Still having problems getting complete hulu playback and have issues with larger MKV files but I had those issues on the PS3 so still have to figure out whats causing it.
If anyone has any other suggestions or experience I'd like to hear some more.
Bump/Update
Just wanted to do one more and see if anyone else had any suggestions, after more reading and trying out some new things finding Twonky is a good media server pick, for both the google tv and your phone.
Whats great about Twonky if they have your Twonky Manger on the computer which Logitech revue will recognize and mainly works in logitech media player, MKV still an issue if you have the right audio code it would work, I've switch to downloading MP4 files as I can still get good quality and it works well.
Also there is Twonky mobile for your phone, works well with the logitech revue as you can play videos music and pictures right from your phone to the TV, the Beam option doesn't work to my knowledge but isn't a big deal to me.
I'm sure lots of people know about Twonky already but it was new to me and worked very well with my Galaxy S and Logitech revue and seems to be a good system, the app is free but Twonky Manger is $20 I think, also works great with a PS3 system as well.
Hope to get some other suggestions or Ideas, kinda weird updating my posts all the time.
Hi
Happy with the Asus but video playback is a little less than I expected. HD youtube videos splutter and will not play smooth in full screen mode. Changed the browser settings to desktop and tried the bbc Iplayer site. Normal definition videos play OK but are poor quality in my opinion. HD just splutter even more badly than tube. Will honeycomb 3.1 solve this problem?
We can all only hope!
Usage outside UK
I really enjoy BBC programming and watch the iPlayer a fair amount on my PC. Now that I got the transformer I thought it might be a good idea to install it, alas seems the app is only available in the UK.
Are other routes available?

Just access to bbc iplayer via the web browser if you have a uk vpn or proxy, it's working fine. No need for the app.
Proxy refused
Don't have a VPN (and don't know how to get one) but I do have Expat Shield that provides a UK IP adress, but Market said; No, no! Can't do that. I suppose I will need a different account setting?
If I'm not mistaken, expat shield is a program to be used on a computer, there is no android version. For a good vpn you should subscribe to a paid service.

Ahh, I thought I could log in to Market from my PC and just send it to the Transformer.
This raises a follow up Q; Is there a good service available for both PC and Android devices? Especially when you have multiple devices.
Hi, there is always get_iplayer and rtmpdump, check out...
infradead(dot)org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer
But since the update to 3.2 the stock video player doesn't seem to want to play HD content (SD is fine), I can transcode using handbrake, but on 3.1 they played brilliantly :-(
Now I'm from the UK so I've no need for a VPN for this content so I can't help you with info regarding that, but you might need a setting for get_iplayer get around a verify / sync error, I have the following lines in my 'options' file...
flvstreamer /usr/bin/rtmpdump
rtmptvopts --swfVfy h++p://uuuuuu.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf
rtmpradioopts --swfVfy h++p://uuuuuu.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf
Hope this helps.
Hey what do you guys like for video streaming? What about Jetflix? I am thinking about trying it but Im not sure
Not sure peoples obsession with netflix lately, hell im watching netlfix right now!, i did use it on my htc incredible which was fully supported, untill they get it running on the charge i will continue to use Plex for video streaming i Love my PLEX available from market, used with a plex media server available plexapp.com on my windows 7 server with decent specs. I stream ANY of my 4 terabytes of video content stored on local hard drives. to my droid charge, if you have decent home internet along with a decent video collection i highly recommend it
Hey dabomb...ive been trying.to set up plex as well ..but for claritys sake, youre streaming your videos to your phone outside of your home network to your phone via 3g/4g? Or just within your home network?

I really like Emit Free but it only works locally right now. (WiFi only)
I've tried PlayOn, VLC, Gmote, SAMBA, etc, and never found a really acceptable solution for this until now.
Plex is in one word awesome. It works great inside and outside your home network. If you are having trouble accessing plex outside your local network go into advanced settings on your plex app flush the cache. This is a known issue and they are working on a fix for the next release.
I am assuming you have already forward your ports from your router.

What im trying to do is to get my ps3 to connect to my androids as media servers. I am NOT looking for an app that connects to media servers- there are a ton of those on the market. I keep ALL my music on my android devices. I would like for them to BE the media server. Though, it seems there are few apps that do this.
I tried "Remote media!" From the market. It works up to the point where I go to listen to an mp3, then times out. Otherwise, my ps3 can connect to my android and display all the right folders. But there are some bugs with actually streaming the content. Didn't get it to stream once on either of my devices.
Does anyone know of such an app? Thanks for your help!
If your device has DLNA capabilities, you can use iMedia share from the market.

I tried media, though it wasn't locating my media and seemed to be a bit bulky of an app with all the options of websites to stream to your tv. I mightily it again in a few, but really lookingbfor a simple clean app. I wish remote media would work.
Twonky Mobile - very bulky though.

Share Me - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sygem.android.shareme_free Worked okay from what I remember, but I didn't buy as I have all my stuff on my Nas - was just testing it out.
share me and remote media seem to work up to thebexact same point- until I click Olay. so this might indicate an issue that I can fix. But what issue? Upnp seems enabled on all devices. what else?
Any help?
Look out for an app called media server or something like this from Sony Ericsson. You won't find it in the market because it's one of the preinstalled apps on the Arc.
It has dlna capabilities too and worked for me when I tried to connect with my PC

blarghle!
Im very frustrated. It seems this works properly, but there is some upnp error as far as I can guess.
I have newest firmware for router,
Enabled upnp on ps3,
Servers are running on EVO/jetstream,
Ps3 shows all folders, files, and even images from the gallery,
Images show with no problem,
When playing an mp3, it says data is corrupt, when it is not.

I've exhausted my savvy knowledge to this point...
Hi. Try Skifta. It works well for me!
Check it in Android Market.

Air sync
Android device and PS3/Xbox need to be on the same wifi source.
Run air sync and you can share media to anything pretty much. Here ya go.
