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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11621885
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.
I have a friend with a problem related with music files.
All the music players found always 2 identical music files. One of the files can't be played. But when i looked to the files there was 1 file.
How can I solve this that all files will be found once?

Delete all your music files and stick them on an iPod
Or, provide more information so that people might have a hope of being able to give you some sensible advice

Why use a stupid iPod for that?
Android ftw.
All music players found 2 music files instead of 1.
I have tested with Winamp, Songbird and default player.

It is called sarcasm
Provide more info - what device, Stock or Custom ROM, version, anything and everything that might help people otherwise they have to just guess - and that is when you get no answers, because we can't generally be bothered to help people who don't want to help themselves

You might want to post on the Galaxy S2 forums then - more likely to find someone who can help you if it is a known issue.
Hi there
apologies if I've posted in the wrong forum
I'm interested to know how to develop a app like ShowBox.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

What type of app is ShowBox and what does it do? I can't find it on the Play Store.

It's a free tv and movies streaming app you'll have to google it and download it that way.

Hey guys!! First of all I just want to thank the developer for doing such an amazing work building the best available video player on andoid, and for free. You rock!
I want to know if there could be a chance to take advantage of root access for being able to browse system folders (like “data”) when manually loading subtitles. In my case, the reason I need this feature is because I’m using MX as default player with Popcorn Time and this app, in my device, only works fine if it’s cache folder is setted to internal data folder (by default). So it downloads the video and subs into that folder, but the subtitles needs to be loaded manually on MX and obviously I can’t do it.
If you think there would be any other way to solve this I’d really apreciate the info.
Greetings to all and thanks in advance for the help!! (and sorry about my english...)
Mx already support root access.

Hey warvevo! Thanks for stopping by. I've tested latest nigthly build, activated root access but still can't browse system folders when loading subtitles. I think the only feature enabled is to read/write/delete on external SD cards. Maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks anyway!!

Will you save some video file in system folders?
I dont think its nessesary. Root access is for getting the avility to del or ren im kitkat.

Hey @josuearisty!!
Like I wrote in my previous post, the reason I need this is because Popcorn Time, in my device, only works with default cache folder path which is "data/data/pct.droid/cache". It stores video and subs into that folder and while the video is sent automatically to MX with an http server, subs needs to be loaded manually so, if I'm not able to browse that folder I have to download them separately which is really annoing.
Thanks anyway for the info. :good:

Tried it. When I select data folder in browser, it doesn't get into it, in fact, It doesn't do anything... :crying:
Same thing as when I try to browse into that folder while loading subs. Like if the browser doesn't have root access.

MX Player will ask root permissions only when it executes some editing operations (like delete, rename) in sdcard. It will not use it for folder selection activity.

If you add the entire root or data partition, it will impact media scanner's performance. So, It's not suitable for everyone. Only experienced users can make use of it. Better to have it as an optional.
Anyhow I will try to convey your request to the developer.

Thank you so much @ktsamy!! I really only need this function in the browser that's called when loading subtitles as, for the video, Popcorn Time uses a stream which is automatically sent to the player. But I don't know if this needs to be "activated" on media scanner too. I mention it just in case.
Greetings and thanks again for your help!!

If you are streaming from external app, it's better to contact the application developer to use MX Player API to easily stream the subtitle together.
MX Player API documentation is available here

Thanks again for the info @ktsamy! I'll suggest this in PT forum. And just in case they can't do it, I'll wait for this feature.

Thanks!!

Yes. You are right.
Kindly post the logs (i.e, zip file generared on Report Bug)

Here is the Bug Report generated by the app. I've now downloaded the Popcorn Time source from Git and compiled with some little modifications but I still can't get subtitles to load automatically on MX. I've tried with Uri and direct "subs.srt" file path (wich is stored in mnt/sdcard/Download folder) but no luck. If you have something to recommend please let me know and I'll try.
Thanks!!

@emacrack The log actually does not show anything about playback screen. Please make note that ActivityScreen dumps passed extras.
I've tried all the possible media players,codec not available. The video is a private video given which I cant use anymore because the media player was restricted to function only till a particular date.
The file extension is .mp4 but it does not play in any of the regular players..rather any available in the market..
Does anyone know how to make this work?
