[Q] TV Shows Stream app suddenly not working? - General Topics

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 :

YouTube uploading

Short and sweet, cant upload to YouTube. I have a video that's 97 megs and it fails every time. I am on wifi....stumped.
you need to keep retrying and itll eventually upload. or you can just upload from a computer which is much quicker and easier.

Thanks. Is this a problem with android overall or the captivate? I came across some droid x post complaining about vids over 100 megs.

This problem is really bugging me too. From what I have read the YouTube app uploader isn't very good and the uploads are something smaller than 720p once they are on YouTube. There is an app by pixelpipe?? that can supposedly keep the upload in 720p but there's something on the EULA about them owning the content and you have to give them your password.
From what I understand about the upload failures (on wifi) it seems to be a twofold problem. YouTube has updated their site twice in recent months which may be creating compatibility problems with the app. Also the youtube's compression and distribution system seems to be in a state of chaos in general.
I haven't seen anything that comes out and says any of this but its what I've been able to piece together.
I'm planning to shoot some vids this weekend so I'll keep looking and post if i find anything out

Well that blows! I wonder if samsung is aware of the problem and working on it. I hate not being able to upload in HD to YouTube.
Probably has to do with the lack of HSUPA
oh, you did say WiFi... never mind

the youtube uploader uploads the full video but it just takes forever to do so. theres an app from pixelpipe that i use from time to time. it uploads the video file in its full resolution too but there isnt a progress bar when its uploading.

Yeah but you have to agree to them owning the content which total BS.
you stole my thread
I just took a 40mb 720p video and have been trying to upload it for maybe 30 min now. It keeps stopping after moving a few % and says will "...retry after 1 minute..." But it only does another few % then stops again.
Terrible. Kinda destroys the whole flow of personal media. I read here that its an app/youtube problem so I hope they update it
WORK AROUND!
So uploading to Qik works very smoothly and fast. So use Qik to upload to Youtube/Facebook!
Basically go to a computer and link your Qik account with Youtube/Facebook. Then log out of the android app and log back in. Now, go to the video you want to upload and hit the upload button. Wait for it to finish upload. NOW hit the Youtube/Facebook button! Tada!! It will send the video to youtube/facebook after its done processing.
Hurrah!! I haven't tried it over 3G but suspect that its not limited. Also currently uploading so I will let everyone know if its HD or not.
Edit: Never mind, not HD :-(

Samsung really needs to fix these things. I mean the gps issue, connecting to enterprise wifi, exchange issues, and YouTube uploads on wifi. Do we have to wait till Froyo for these fixes?

Slingbox need specific hardware to work and the app slingplayer cost 21€ on android market.
Tv shows stream lite is free, the full version costs 4.99$ and no special hardware is needed. I whould say its a better deal. Just my opinion.

Fast forwar and Rewing should be working now fine on FROGMOVZ video links.
If any trouble, pause the video before FF or RW.
Please, report if any issue; you can find a support email inside the aplication, in the FAQs section.

Yes, it works outside of the US. If a video is missing it means it got removed from the site it was hosted, try a different one. Also sometimes certain sites have the wrong episode ( lol at Psych).

I emailed the devs last week and offered some suggestions. One of them was to alphabetize the favorites which they said they were working on and would be available on the next release. Along with that was a request to be able to backup those favorites like you can with bookmarks. The last two suggestions that I had were to be able to have the program automatically be able to scan for new shows with notifications and to highlight or indicate in some way in the favorites section that that particular show has a new episode. The last two suggestions are features that can be found in an app that I use frequently called dogcatcher.
Anymore suggestions guys? I know the devs read these so post them here if you have any. I really love this app so I want nothing more than for it to get better and better.

hi,
You are right, we are reading this forum
In next update bookmarkts will be alphabetically ordered. The update has not been released yet because we are finishing a minor fix that is taking more time than expected.
We are also preparing a special surpurise that will come in the next weeks. More info soon.
You can leave here suggestions, be sure that the developers will read it.
Love the app - could you please put the title or episode number of the video somewhere on the cropped screen too? Sometimes when the video stops in the middle one has to search again...
Overall I am very happy with what you guys made :.)
Hi guys,
thanks for updating the app, it's really comfy with the new sorted bookmarks!
but could you please make the announcement for the new film streamer optional, like in with a don't show this again option for the paid app?
thanks for reading this!

[Q] New Android User.

Hi, I just got a Sensation a couple of days ago and there have been a few problems I hope you guys could help me with.
Firstly, my Android Market only shows a few of the apps that there should be. Loads of apps such as the launchers or Angry Birds for example aren't showing up. When I open the Market from my desktop it says that these apps cannot be installed in my country (UAE) when i have friends here with other Android phones with the very same apps.
Secondly, whenever I play a video on the phone it plays fine for about a minute and then the audio switches off and it only comes back if I skip scenes. I don't if this is a fault with my phone or maybe a wrong format I'm using, can you guys recommend a converter?
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

I do not know the answer to your first question, but I would assume that your friends either have a different ROM flashed to their phone that allows them to bypass country restrictions, or they have downloaded the APK's from somewhere else, then 'adb push'ed them to their device... Someone more knowledgeable than me can answer that one...
The second question regarding video converters... I have used an application called Handbrake in the past to re-encode my video files, and it has worked wonders. I highly recommend it. Link: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

You can try to find the apk for the apps you want and install them outside of Market by copying the apk to your SD card then installing from there (be sure to check the allow non-market applications box under the applications settings) this should (I think) bypass any country restrictions. If you look around I'm sure you can find the apks you want. If not you could probably make a request for certain apps and someone can upload the apk for you.
Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.
Where do I paste the App file in the SD card?
Anywhere . You can, for example create new folder - "Apps" on yours sd and paste applications there.

Ahh, sorry should've been more specific. After copying the file over, where do I go in the phone to install it?
Nevermind, got it.
You can use the web-market to install apps. No idea why it doesn't appear on the phone's market app, but it should appear on the web market.
market.android.com
For the second problem: what video format are you using? Try *.mp4 or *.avi and see if they work Also, what resolution is the video?

You can try another video player such as MoboPlayer to see if you have converted your video ok.

I also use HandBrake converter.
There is an app called android market enabler "lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available". But it requires you to root your phone which is not currently possible on our phone. This could be what your friends are using.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/market-enabler-v3-0-8-for-root-users/
I just copied some random avi files I had on my desktop, which gave me the problem above. Haven't tried using converter yet but I'll give it a shot now.

make a folder on the root of your storage card & name it notifications & put the sounds in there.

NEW: Direct streaming via Megaupload .avi files

Hi guys and girls,
after looking quite hard at the forums, iv found a few topics that are "close but no cigar", so im starting a new thread to try and get the ball rolling and hopefully soon, make an app that will be available on all android devices.
the topic says it all.
I started a website 4 years ago that enables direct streaming of .avi files to your pc and now im trying make the process on your phone as seamless as it is on your pc!
at the moment, the current way of doing this is
1) get the file link from megaupload.com
2) go to your .avi media player
3) input the link
4) watch.
so basicly im trying to get it so an app will skip steps 2 and 3.
because the way you get the link from the site i run at them moment is allready a 4 step process, cutting it from a 4 to 6 step one on the mobile phone side would be a brilliant step in the right direction!
a couple of threads allready on xda/apps on the market that are along the right lines are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11621885 - But the app has been removed from the market and the dev's have stopped working on it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.megastream - this app has recieved many negative comments and after trying it, it does what im trying to do but in a very long winded and drawn out way.
(edit) the irony is, the app thats been made now which is fantastic btw, has been made by the same guy!(/edit)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream this is the app btw
Not trying to advertise but if you search Icefilms on xda theres a lot of people who use the site and want to use it on their phones, so im here now trying to do it and hopefully get some help because honestly im a total n00b to the app dev side of mobile phones!
there is allready a greasemoney/userscript app for android, but the Greasmoneky script the site uses encorperates DivX web player, which is not available for android. So you can install the userscript but theres no bridg between the link and the video player!
so, there in lies the problem and my mission!
any ideas or anyone willing to give me some of their time to get this project rolling?
thanks in advance,
Morgan
icefilms.info admin
anyone home?
guess i'll go to bed and come back tomorrow and see!
good night all
and thanks again in advance!
As a daily icefilms user, and soon to be a android tablet owner (TF201). I hearby *BUMP* this thread!
well, like i said, we have near on 3 and a half million hits a day, but dont have our own app.... that kinda sucks tbf.
hopefully we can get some interest!
still nothing?
I read somewhere that there is a XBMC for android in development, but who knows how long it'll take
well, to be honest, thats a fantastic idea!
if you find any more info on it, please let me know!

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.
