Can't find crackle in the market on my droid x running gingerbread.
Any idea where I can get the apk for the free version?
There have been so many many threads and responses out there all looking for an app that will get Crackle movies playing on their G-Tab. I'm one of them. Forget Hulu. Crackle has great films and they're free with a tiny bit of commercials intermixed which is no big deal when it comes to free. Anyway, just finished watching The DaVinci Code after having watched Ghostbusters. All on my G-Tab. I loved it.
Just get Dolphin Browser, for free, from Android Market. (The Browser that came with the system is not very browserable.) Then enter http://www.crackle.com and with the assist of your WiFi, you're there and you can select and play a whole bunch of movies. They stream very nicely although the sound is so low you'll need the assist of some head gear. Unfortunately, Hulu can't be accessed this way. Why and how was crackle able to do what Hulu can't? Forget about a Crackle app, just do it the old fashioned way, with a trusty browser at the helm.
While I appreciate sherwinsilv's advice, and he's right, crackle works through the Dolphin browser, it would be nice to have access to the specially designed crackle app... Few media sites take the time to have streaming available to us Canadians, and here we have one (thanks Sony!) but Google is precluding Canadians from grabbing the app in the Market... if someone could post the most recent apk for crackle, it would be greatly appreciated...
I'd still like the .apk too.
Can nobody help a man who's down on his luck and post the apk for crackle?
Try this apk
Hi,
I found this link for the .apk in this same forum, I tried installing the apk in my Archos 101 installation was fine. I was able to open the app and see the movies and shows content. There were couple FC too. However the issue is I unable to play any of those videos as I get a DRM error.
But you guys can try and give your feed back how it goes.

Anyone think its possible to make an app capable of streaming video files from megaupload or megavideo? A lot of shows and movies I watch on my PC from there and an app to do the same on my phone would be amazing. I have no idea how hard it would be but I'd be willing to test it on my Captivate and help any way possible.. even donate to a finished product..
just get a phone with Froyo
Froyo can stream video from megaupload?

i think that this is what you've been looking for:

please, let me know your feedback!
Sorry to bring back what may be a dead thread but I was recently also looking for a solution to this exact question. I did find a free app in the market which I have tested for only about a day now but has worked well for my needs thus far. I did a quick search of the forums and didn't see anything on it so just thought I would mention it.
The app is called "Mega Stream" - Market Link
When used with MoboPlayer I have had good success streaming video from Megaupload.
Occasionally I like to watch some very long video podcasts, but I usually only listen until it sounds like something important is happening, then I go back to the video. This is easy enough to do on a pc, but I would like to do the same thing on my droid. Does anyone know if such an app exists or if it would even be possible? From what I have read, older versions of android require a video "surface". Not sure if this holds for 2.2/2.3. Even just being able to shut of the screen would help. Thanks ahead of time to those who provide insight!
maybe
Have you tried Act 1 Video Player? I can't post a link because I am new here. I saw a review for this app, and it says it has a "play in background" option. The review said it cost $2.49, but there is a free trial version.
I currently use an iPhone. I had a Motorola Atrix for a few days, but returned it, because I could not get it to play video podcast in the background. That was before I found the review for the above mentioned app.
so i'm not sure if this is a thread yet or not but does anyone on here use icefilms.info? if so is there a way for those of us with rooted inspire 4G's to stream icefilms. it requires the divx player add on (old version of divx player) and icefilms script from user scripts to play on google chrome on my pc. seems like it should be easy for android phones but am a noob and have only just rooted my phone like 2 weeks ago. anyone with any ideas
im wanting to do this too, there is a greasemonkey app that you can get, but i dont think theres a divx webplayer addon
hi guys, Altair from icefilms here...
if you go here, follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899141
then you can. I personally use an app called Vplayer, but YXPlayer works just as well...
if you copy the link to the video on megaupload, and go to the app, you can press the menu button and select input URL and then directly stream the video.
but coincidently im actually here on the forums now to try and get the ball rolling on an official app so... yeah, watch this space.

I've heard that i doesn't work on rooted phones, i installed the new market, it should install along with the new market but it didn't. I guess that's due to me being rooted.

set the browser ua to desktop by typing about:useragent in the adress bar. then log into the gmail desktop site. once logged into google go to the web market at market.android.com/movies
the movies will play in the browsers video player at 480p which is the phones native res anyhow, I'm sure this is the same as google video will play it. they are hosted by youtube and I don't see the hq modes on my pc so id guess that's the quality limit.
this way it will play throuh mhl with no problems.
im rooted. the download wouldnt install from the market. it would start and then just stop for no reason. so i installed from apk. it works now, and with the market too. divx movies forward over to play in the samsung player.
Hey there Jack can you send me the apk? PM me and I'll give you my email address. muchas gracias.
thats ok. i put it in my dropbox. http://db.tt/Xya5KUS

Hey Jack thanks for the apk. It installed just fine but when I tried to play a movie I rented from the market (Wedding Crashers Unrated) I got the following error:
Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)
Have you rented a flick from the market and if so were you able to watch it? I'm rooted and running Infused 153. Thanks again man.
Set the browser user agent to desktop, browse to the Android Market website, and launch the movie from there. Think that may work.
nope, i have yet to see anything i would want to rent over netflix.

yep this is how ive been doing it, works just fine.
ok, I'm a complete novice so can someone please tell me how to do this? I'm getting the rooted error 49 too and have no idea how to get the movie to play. I don't know how to open it in the browser either, so I am totally lost. I have a feeling I just wasted 3.99. Lol.
Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?
Read somewhere that clockworkmod and someone else have done it or are really close. Check Chromecast development

This may be irrelevant now, and if so I apologize for the waste of time, but I have found that if you open the video files in a Chrome tab, they can be cast that way. At times it can be a little inconvenient, but I think the video/audio is pretty good.
