I mean add. How to get a YouTube onto the
Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101-B1 1GHz nVidia Tegra 2 1GB RAM/ (32GB SSD)
I would like to download on my other computer and then copy to SD card and then use that SD card on the EEE. I was told however that the file (.flv) would not be in correct format and would have to be converted to MP4.
I do not want to download YouTube video directly to the EEE.
Yes you can. I use mobo player from three market and it plays all sorts of files.

How would you do that please?
I have an app on main screen that says "Market." Is that what you are talking about?
And you would be able to download videos from YouTube?
(I think it would be better to download YT videos to SD card to save space on the EEE.)
Well you clearly do not know, what you need to do, if you can't indentify the Market.
Moreover, You can download to desktop and copy over the file - FLV is played as well.
BTW, TubeMate also downloads files as MP4.
And why not directly to the Transformer? You can move the file to the MicroSD on the device itself.
You need to do the following:
1. Start "Market" App
(if necessary register with your google account)
2. Search vor tubemate
3. install and start
4. select Youtubevideo to download
5. choose destination for your video.
6. start again Market
7. search for "mobo"
8. install Mobo-Player
9. Open Youtube Video - downloaded in step 6 with mobo player
10. worked?

Hi,
I am new to Android and I would like to get some help for a few questions before buying a Gtablet.
1) Flash support - I saw it's posted on the official website it has a temp version of flash player. Can I know if it works well? I need to watch high-def flash movies on different websites. I hope it can play smoothly. Also am I able to play facebook flash games?
2) RMVB/AVI/MKV support - I have tons of these kind of videos on my NAS server but the official site does not say they are supported. I heard there is a Rockplayer that can do it, but I went to their App Store and found no such software. Can i know a way to play these formats? If the hardware does not support them, and there is a software does, how is the quality and speed?
3) Local LAN share - I think I already googled there is one called EStrong, can I open my NAS file share folders, and play Video directly?
4) Customization - Can I install apps from anywhere instead of their app store? for example can i install Android Market? or install an app from a file?
That's pretty much what i concerns so far, other than that this is a great tablet!
I much appreciate your advices.
I can help with the first and fourth ones. This afternoon I watched an episode of outsourced on nbc.com. it wasnt perfect, but definatly viewable, and youtube videos all look fine for me. As for the last one, I have the android market installed, and I have also installed .apks that I have the file form so yea they do work.
re. 2, my son user rockplayer to watch some mkvs last weekend. I'm not that familiar w/anime, but he said it wasn't handling embedded softsubs. We did find another player on market that did but I don't remember the name.
re. 3, ES Explorer will copy files over lan (windows shares or ftp), but it's not for streaming.
Mkv support depends more on how it was encoded. I ripped some DVDs to mkv with 5.1 sound using handbrake and those will play in rockplayer using software decode fine.

I should clarify my earlier post. We were able to watch the MKVs (animes) he had downloaded fine with rockplayer. But they had softsubs, and it wasn't showing those.

Re. 1, my wife uses the Gtab to watch Kdramas, on sites that stream flash, and it works pretty well. Served from sites like tudou, qdisk, etc., and works ok, but a lot of those sites sometimes have heavy traffic, and even with a PC, they get jerky, so it's not the Gtab, but the stream server and traffic usually.

Works on news sites, tv.com, hulu, but thats with vegan 5.1. The stock rom ran flash "ok" but would crash some times.

According to the specs It will play:
32-bit LP-DDR2, DDR2
S1080p H.264/H.263/ VC-1/MPEG-2/4/WMV9/DiVX 4/5 Video Decode
1080p H.264/MPEG-4 Video Encode
Supports multi-standard audio formats, including AAC, AMR, WMA, and MP3
Not all of those are working currently (some are and some aren't). Get yourself a good video encoder/dvd ripper for your computer and once they are encoded, you just drag and drop onto the gtab. If they are encoded properly with the proper settings, you get descent video quality.
4) Customization - Can I install apps from anywhere instead of their app store? for example can i install Android Market? or install an app from a file?

Yes but you will need to do a couple updates using the developer instructions from here and then do a market fix. The easiest one is the simple performance pack update to the 3389 build with a market fix, however over 5,000 people have gone to vegan 5.1
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/
It is the best from what i can tell, wicked fast. It has two issues curently 1) Micro SD card management/file mgt 2) Keyboard auto correct. Updates seem to come out every 10 days to 2 weeks right now.
Thank you all!
Thanks a lot for your answers it helped me a lot!

That 5000 part is amazing to me. Having gone thru the Xmas 'recall' brouhaha, I had sometimes thought that there were like 10 of us Gtab users !!

The new ES File Explorer now lets you stream videos and images over network without it having to download first. It's pretty impressive and instant. People who are using file manager HD over this should really make the switch.
Best of all no need for Root. Now if only it could work with CBR files.
I'm using file manger hd with cifs manager and I can stream video just fine. How is this different? Is it supposed to take care of the cifs manager part?

No need for CIFS manager, no need for root. It also comes with dropbox as an option. It's the ultimate file manager. Also no ads.

I'n tried it and all the files, avi, i get the mesage that the file cant be streamed... can u leave the Market Link? I've found several ES File Explorer and i dont know if i'm using the right one.
PS: CBR would be great.

I believe he's referring to this one on the basis that there are over 95,000 reviews of it in the Market. I remember reading about this file manager before, seems quite popular. BTW I also use File Manager HD.
What is the difference to upnplay?
For me its the same, i still need to use rocketplayer to play my avi movies.
Seems faster and supports smb... dunno if upnplay supports that.
i dont see any speed advantage
I've found it, but it wont stream the subtitles...
I'm using Moboplayer to play my files and it starts in 5 seconds and I can scroll anywhere I want in the video with no lag. Didn't test with subtitles. Since I am not rooted, I'm very impressed. That's all.

Anyone have problems connecting to the pc? When I turn my pc on it works, but a couple hours later it cant connect. Shows the possible errors such as wifi isn't on, or out of network scope, but once i restart my pc it can connect again.
Anyone know how to fix this, I'm using windows 7 pro 64bit, and Asus Transformer with prime 1.6v2.
I did some searching and didn't find an answer so I thought I'd ask. I've tried to play a couple of videos from the mini-sd card, one in .mkv and one .avi without success. I have Format factor so conversions aren't a problem provided I know what is needed. My questions are...
1. What is the best format and resolution?
2. Are there any particular storage location requirements, such as no SD card to have movies play properly?
3. Is there a player that I should be using other than the default.
FYI, I am currently on rooted stock 3.1
Thank you in advance for any help!

Not a direct answer to your question, but I have found that there are very few video files that I can't get to play off of the microSD card between Moboplayer (with the codec it will ask you to add from the market the first time you open it up) and Rockplayer. I have tons of just random files in different formats that just seem to work in at least one of those players. Much easier to install those apps then convert a bunch of files.
Hope that helps enough, otherwise I hope someone can answer your more specific questions.
MadKat7 said:

Ideally it would be any format that can be played back with the default player via hardware acceleration, which in my experience would be MP4 for the smoothest playback. As for resolution I would try to stick to whatever resolution the original video is at for the best quality possible, although if the original is 1080p I find it's a bit hit and miss in terms of getting smooth playback (YMMV, of course). Anything else at 720p or less should be fine.

Not really. This shouldn't matter as long as the video is in the correct format.

What mcmikeal said.
Thanks for the help. I'm using moboplayer and all is well!
1) napster to go - subscription DRM music
2) stream netflix
3) pandora
4) render heavy splash sites well - my daughts is 7 and loves her disney.com, nickelodeon.com, etc
5) have an app (pay or free) that can play almost any video file
1. Yes theres a napster subscription app you can download.
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes, games play fine, a little laggy sometimes, and since you dont have a keyboard while they are running you'll have to work something out.
5. Yes, Moboplayer and QQ Player seem to play everything out there.

Sorry to say but video support is limited.
Eg you download blue ray rip (even in 720p) then it does not play all the time.
In short Xoom plays H264 movies smoothly if encoded with baseline profile.
You can play 1cd dvdrips with Mobo or bs player.
You may be required to convert video.

Yes, I think so...mostly.
1) I use Rhapsody to Go
2) Netflix--I don't use it
3) Pandora's fine
4)Yes, Disney site works fine, depending on your internet connection, of course
5)Mobo, Dice or Rockplayer lite seem to play just about anything
Xoom is great for most media as you can also load up a lot of fies on your sdcard (or usb drive if you root), so you'll never run out of space.
It seems like your major interest is in listening to and watching media files, andyou may also want to consider that the Xoom does so much more than play media and games---I believe the Xoom is the best overall tablet available. The Xoom is a serious working tablet computer that likes to have fun, too, so hopefully you have plans for it as well. It's also absolutely perfect when unlocked, rooted and customized...
Not sure how I will use the tablet, to be honest. Trying to find justification for it. But I know that my 7 year old will love using it and I love music and video. So those are must haves.

If you mostly want something for simple, accessable media, you should probably be looking at an Ipad, though no flash, no sd card etc. The Xoom is very sturdy, but a smart and inquisitive child can do some pretty funky things to it, especially if you have root (which will give you most of the goodies, IMHO).
cartoon films look very good on xoom like planet51
I am having a terrible time trying to upload some videos to YouTube. I took some videos with my point and shoot camera and using a Otg cable and a card reader transferred the videos to the existing "Movies" directory on the "device storage". I can watch the videos on each tablet, but cannot get them to YouTube. If I use dolphin browser and the YouTube Web page I can get as far as choosing the video in the directory but then dolphin browser crashes just as the upload starts. Chrome and Opera Mini do not even give any sort of option to use the Web page to upload a video. If I use the YouTube app to upload I cannot navigate t the folder that contains the videos I want to upload. This seems completely absurd for it to be this difficult to upload to YouTube. I feel like I must be missing something. When I had a ipod touch it was absurdly easy to upload to YouTube. Any suggestions? There must be a way....

I tried that, but nothing happens. It never uploads. I use ES File Explorer. The first time I tried that it looked like YouTube tried to start and didn't, subsequent tries did nothing at all
Astro File Manager worked for 2 videos
I installed Astro File Manager and that worked for two videos by long pressing the file > share > YouTube. Now it either opens the upload window very briefly and then it shuts, or nothing at all. All of these videos are in the Download folder of the device. I have tried moving them to different folders and to the external card. Any more suggestions out there? This is pretty infuriating that it is so hard to UL these videos.
Why can't you just log in to Youtube with a browser then upload the normal way instead of trying the share option?

OP already noted in the original post that he tried using various browsers. If you know from experience that it works on the tablet perhaps you can post a walktrhu?
At the moment the only advice I can give the OP is to verify the version of Youtube installed on the tablet and try again OR try to do the upload using a computer to confirm the issue isn't with the account itself.
I have also found that the ES file manager chokes on trying to upload a video to Youtube. I have been successful using Chrome and logging on to Youtube. Make sure you have enabled javascript and cookies in the Advanced, Site settings in Chrome settings. I use the Chrome 'desktop view'. I absolutely hate the mobile view on this large screen tablet and have not been able to transfer a video in that view yet.
I could not transfer a video from Dropbox to Youtube either.
Dolphin browser does not transfer vids to Youtube for me either.
I have not tried Firefox yet.

Hi, videos are transferred successfully to Youtube through Dolphin on my phone. You can update it to the latest version and check it out, or just consult Dolphin's support team about it by sending an email to [email protected].
