This is a movie manager for your tablet (and soon phone running ICS).
Your movies and TV shows are identified and in just one click you could watch them with your favorite player.
free version (no ads) :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adree.moviebrowser
paid version with UPnP/DLNA support :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adree.moviebrowser.upnp
little bump just to let you know the app now support samba (without root) and new layouts for ICS phones.
best wishes
Hi
Great app just got the paid version. Me I had trouble since my server lost often upnp connectivity but samba as protocol overcomes this problem. Nevertheless further improvements are visible. I would like to remove manually some movies it detects and would like as well to manually change some movie information.
I think especially for series the automatic detection works only poorly.
Hope some will be fixed in next update.
Keep up the good work !
nice i think but to try
Thanks for the feedback,
I know I need to work on a way to manually identify series, atm I'm working on some little UI improvment like creating tabs for video sources and grouping by seasons then I will work on that for sure.
Regards
Hi welcome
Actually I judged a little bit too fast, most series I was able now to include. Is there a way to differentiate between the different seasons ? For example I do have multiple Dexter seasons but can't distinguish them until I click on one of the item. Then it would say season 1 or 2 but they do have the same icons...
Would this work with a Pogoplug device as well? The device support UPnP so I guess it would right?
Obviously yes, and in case the device as trouble to be recognised you can still use Samba.
If you want to be sure try the free version, the browser in the setup screen will show your device if its recognised.
Great App!!!
This is a great app I got the paid version.
Just finished renaming a bunch of my TV episodes.
Some of my movies didn't translate to the right IMBD number Example: 2012: Ice Age was resolved as Ice Age:continental Drift with is a Animated Movie. Not sure if there is another option to maybe include more description in my File Name to get the right movie.
I need some help with the Samba settings in moviebrowser and windows 7. Is it possible to look at the movies over 3G?
[Edit] I figured it out to configure samba in my own network, but over the internet seems it be a bit more complicated.
Hi
thanks for the latest update, really brought some improvements!
Any progress on two important points, manual editing and manual removal of unwanted
movies ? The first one I overcame now by just renaming the files, but the second one
keeps being a little bit annoying. For example I do have a few movies which
then contain several video files, only one being the actual movie. Not being able
to remove the other ones adds unwanted extra films which I cant remove.
Keep on , updating !
@sweborn : To browse over the INTERNET you should look at upnp/dlna. some servers offer this option and its easily/safely configurable.
@ebioman : Its coming soon now have lot of idea in mind its just a matter of prioritizing.
best regards
Does it work on smartphone?
Just want to say I love this app and bought the pro UPNP version!
I was so happy to see the addition of the TVDB api and I just LOVE the ability to fold all seasons into one using tabs!
Great Feature since I have a lot of TV stuff on my Server.
But there are still some bugs in the scraping aspects.
For one I can't seem to get the Looney Tunes collection to scrape properly. I know this is a special case as it uses years for Season Info not the usual 01,02 Etc...
S00 Scrapes properly but I suspect in the API implementation you may be truncating the season as the 4 number seasons do not seem to scrape properly and be incorporated into the season.
I also have an issue with remakes such as Day of the Dead where both wind p with the newer icon despite proper year being noted in the title.
Again I would suspect the full title (like the fll season number) is being truncated somehow.
As to what everyone else said I would love to be able to manually edit the Images and descriptions for movies I have that would not scrape because they are personal or un documented.
But all that aside I love this program you made!
EDIT: One feature I would like to see added is if the default meta source (in my case MovieDB and TVDB) comes up empty that the program should also look at IMDB
How can you choose which video player? I have bsplayer and MX player and I can't choose bsplayer

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well for one your selections for players are limited by the filetype your trying to play and where your playing it from.
You choose the video player on first play and I suspect you may have set one as the default which would inhibit the program from asking again.
What player does it default to on playback?
Find that player in you Settings Applications and clear any defaults it has set.
Go back to Movie browser, try and play something and it should pop up a list of the players it can use.
If your bsplayer doesn't show in that list then it doesn't support that filetype.
If you don't check use player by default it will ask you for which player to use each time.
Filemasks for search?
Any chance to get exclusion filemasks for search setup? For example the recordings from my htpc all have the channel name being included as part of name being searched: Example: "A Walk in the Clouds WWLFDT2" and the lookup fails due to the channel name...exclusion filemasks could be added so that _WWLFDT2_ in the filename gets converted to just "_" before doing a search.
Any chance we can have a version that works on Android 2.3?
I just bought a media player an having this app would be awesome
its this one btw.

Been using this for a while on my tablet (TF101) and has been great (uPNP version)!
just got a google tv box (logitech revue) and have downloaded this for its primary use on there (I have ESFile Explorer and GTVBox players installed, vplayer and other not working) - seeing the following issues:
1. The view in google TV means that you can only see 2 movies at a time, makes it quite slow to move around - can you a include a specific theme for gtv (for me, would be a wallpaper of all covers, with a second page for individual movie details?)
2. I cannot get a movie to play from the browser - it seems to be favouring GTVBox over ES video player (even though no defaults are set) and goes to a blank screen with the honeycomb circle (please wait) showing continuously
I have the movie files on an external hard drive connected to the USB input, so no uPNP issues to worry about - I will try moving a movie onto the internal memory tonight to see if that changes anything??
any tricks to try would be appreciated - looking for this to be my main app on the lgoitech (so that my son lets me have my tablet back!)
Improvements for GTV
I am actually glad I read this. GTVBox has been giving me headaches in the video streaming category & I was curious about this on when looking through Google Play. Other than the issues below are you planning on adding a more in-depth video search? Most of my videos are in their own sub-folders & they are divided up by genre.
Plus I did see that the app appears to go to the GTVBox video player which makes me apprehensive in purchasing the full version. If you can add like genre folders & have the app point to the default player when selecting a movie I'd by this in a heartbeat. But seriously, 15min is not enough time for me to fully test out the paid version to see if this is what I am looking for.
I am impressed with the movie database look-up though, really cool!

Really good app.
And try to always post the apk link as many of us don't have access to the market.
I for instance have H1droid in Samsung H1 i8320 and unfortunately no 3g signal and no wifi.
updated to v1.2.. see 1st post
Can't get it working on my Nexus S....
Is it possible to get this app to see /sdcard2 and /usbdisk for those of us using devices with internal storage and USB host?

It is not working with Gingerbread yet.
Check back on the Market for when the Dev updates to 2.3 Compatible.
Few things that comes into my mind:
Two of the best ones I consider is rockplayer and vplayer. Here's a few feedback:
1) In terms of speed/playing file types , at least on my phone they're all about the same, probably because they are all based on ffmpeg. Every 720p plays with the same issue. This is above vplayer because of hardware support and on par with rockplayer.
2) Love the interface. Its pretty well-designed. Love how the RR and FF have an adjustable seek Very useful. Just wish there is gesture support as I'm a bit spoiled .
3) Love the black and white mode. Makes it seem like you are watching one of those old TV back in the days. Really nice effect.
4) Hate the 'R' logo in rockplayer and ads in general, but this one is not very intrusive. Very nice .
Overall one of the top video players out there.
Your player is AMAZING !!!
ANd as you know, Your player does not have one option...
And this would be best for listening to audiobooks....
You know that feeling when someone talk slowly.....with.......not...................so important.............pauses
.................and breaks............................and you want just to
......................listen for information............and this is so annoying .
And as you know it is possible to talk faster....
And as you know this would keep listener focused......
So now.... when you know that this feautere could be important...
You can just why not add option to increase speed of playing without changing pitch of voice ?
Just to have some slider to increase tempo as user want, for example 2 times faster, or 1.5.
Without changing pitch so it would not make voice silly high...
Because that feature can make your player best ever.
has anyone tried it on the x10 mini pro?? is it smooth?? does it have any widget function?? cant wait to try it later on..
Player would fine I guesss, but without a way to remove ads and watermark I do not want it. I would pay for an as free version.
Here in my Motorola Milestone 1 2.1 firmware didnt played MKV, it frozen the video a lot.
Sorry for the english.
Works on HTC Legend with Gingerbread (CM7) smooth!!!
Thank u!!!
yeah this player is really good,install to my Dell Sreak and plays smoothly.But one option missing that is screen orientation.
I think the best player ever for now.
Plays great, but mp4 files, and files converted to mkv format via mediafox play too fast - sound seems ok but it's playing almost 2x speed. Any ideas?
Vplayer
Hi
I am assuming you have created the Vital player or Vplayer. I have bought this app and i have to say its very impressive in terms of play back. But what i would like to see is subtitle support. I cant find anywhere on the app for where i can attach a subtitle that i had previously downloaded.
Another app that does this well is mvideoplayer. This has the option to search on your phone a subtitle and attach it to the video. But the playback is kinda jerky and laggy. Is there any way of getting subtitle support.
Thanks

RockPlayer2 V2.3.1, a bug fix update to V2.3.1 released a few days ago.
We removed advertisements and in-app-purchase, most likely they will not be back but we reserve the right . I'd like say a few words for the decision. Most of us are code farmers, who believes it would be a piece of cake to get enough money to maintain this company from the app , but we are wrong. Fortunately (or not?), we figured out a way, to provide media playback solution and service. That's why we left for a while and now we are back.
V2.3 is based on the SDK itself, including quite a lot improvements to the playback engine. The engine has been used for those projects with all kinds of rare cases, from chipset turn-key solution, 3D VR headset player, client of media service provider to app like web browser, it is much more faster and stable than before, the seeking is fluent and reliable.
Feature side, there is no change yet and they are coming.
//03-14 2014
There is a bug in our RockPlayer2 V2.2.6, when you press the "refresh" button of MediaLibrary, you will get nothing.
Sorry for this problem but we are hardly working on it, a new update will be released in days.
//08-02 2013
We have release RockPalyer2 for Android V2.2.4, support Android 4.3 now.
Due to Google's changing in internal codes, RockPlayer2 can't works on Android 4.3 before v2.2.4. Now it has been fixed and run perfectly on Android 4.3.
We suggest every RockPlayer2/RockPlayer Lite user upgrade to v2.2.4 if you want try Android 4.3.

Let's talk about the "Unique features"
RockShare : with RockShare , you can share your files with your friends just use your phone, your don't have to find a PC and USB line, you don't have to take your SD card anymore. RockShare is available for both Android and iOS, You can exchange files with any of your friends whose phone installed RockPlayer2 and in the same WIFI with you . File transfer speed can be as fast as 9MB/s.
Customize Pannel: To make the playback View simple and clean , we make the control bar customizable . Users can choose which button they need and where they put it .Just long press any button of the control bar , you will get the customize pannel and find what you like. So you can get most of the view for movie but not like some other player app , put all the buttons on a playback view .
we also add great support for gestures and streaming playback , you can handle everything just using one hand.
At last , here I make a movie for RockPlayer2, hope you like it .
For more information ,please go out website: http://rockplayer.com/rp2/en/ and find us on Google Play. Those without Play Store access can download the APK directly.
hope more people know and try my app
Tried your rock player its very good. I but just a feedback that when we select software decoding it starts to lag.
Secondly the audio level is too low. You need to do something about the audio levels as you need to enhance them or you can also add some effect like Dolby, stereo or anything else

Tried it out and it was a little laggy in the UI, great video playing though. Will wait for the new version.
Very smooth, love it on my Note 10.1
No subtitle support? No pinch to zoom?
looks good going to check it out now
Album Art
Very nice media player,
it would be great if you can add album art to music files :good:
2.2 is force closing while installing codecs at first launch...on huawei u8230 with gb 2.3.7 cm7.2
Can RP2 play a VLC playlist (.xspf) off a Network drive by some chance?
does it or will it ever support google music?
looks great though, will defiantly try it out!
Sorry, but full WMA support please!
Hello fellow xda members!
I've recently got a galaxy 2 7.0 tab as a gift from a buddy of mine.
I was curious as to using the device in some ways like a net book. I mean heck the tablet is light, small and can be carried almost anywhere.
But I was wondering if there is any sort of way either default, mods, apps in order to browse my files on the pc?
I'm not looking for a remote app where for example you have a foobar remote (a music player on the pc) to use the tablet as a remote to play music on the pc... I find that pretty useless because I want to be able to hear the music from my tablet not my pc.
I've seen videos and I believe the app is called splash or somewhere around those lines, where you completely control the computer on the tablet, as if the tablet was a touch monitor.
That seems interesting but I'm more into looking for a file browser like application or mod where I can just browse through my computers folders and such in order to smoothly stream music and movies on my tablet through the WiFi network of my pc.
So pretty much, I'm looking for a way to stream files from my pc to my tablet without a lot of hassle and taking smoothness into consideration. I mean if there is no such way, I guess the other method where you completely control your pc would be nice too.
All in all, just a way to stream files on my tablet from my pc, and being able to listen and visualize it on my tablet, not my computer.
Thank you!
I had been using es file explorer (estrongs) but wanted something better. I have found the one app for managing your device's files and can access network drives. http://android.nextapp.com/site/
The basic app is free, but for sharing as you desire, there is a 7 day trial before you would have to buy the 'plus' add-on. I used the trial for 1 day and liked it enough to upgrade and install on both of my devices.
Browse, copy, move, open, edit networked files all from your tablet.
Get it. You won't regret it.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
A few screen shots showing navigation into one of our PCs... Hope I show them in the right order...

After selecting my basement PC, which is my home theater PC with all my movies:
After I select the primary drive (the C:\ drive):
If you navigate all the way to an mp3, avi, or jpeg file you can open it using whatever android app you prefer. For movies, I prefer MX player. Smooth streaming.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
Thank you so much! I'll check it out and report back
The UI looks very slick and fits with the tablet
Was wondering how you actually open files with the default or custom apps on the tab? Because whenever I click something, it'll show up with open with FX files.
At the bottom, it'll say file is too large to retrieve and send to an application.
EDIT:
I got the mx player (free one) to work with the app, however the videos as assumed were pretty choppy/laggy. Is it because I'm using the free version of mx player or cause of my wifi? My wifi is good, so probably because the tablet can't handle it maybe?
I was also wondering, should i be using the default mx player or the special ones like armv6 or armv7?
And, was also wondering if it's possible to access external hard drives from this as well? I can access my C drive, but my external G drive with all the movies and music can't be reached.
Thanks again!
You will be asked what app to use to open a file if you have more than one app that can open the file and none of them are set as the default app for such file. I believe defaults are cleared if you install a new app that is capable of running a file. For example, if you recieve an e-mail with a web link and you click on that link, the browser that opens the link is obviously the default app. If you install a new browser then try to open that link again, you should get a prompt asking you which app you want to use. This is where you would decide if you want to use a particular app for all future instances of opening a link (at least until you get a new browser or do an update on the non-default browser). I've seen some apps show up on the choice box that had nothing to do with that particular file type. I always try each one before I select 'always' on the selection box.
I'm able to run movies that are in excess of 1GB. No issues with lagging. Could be your PC delaying or stuttering the transmission of the file. Could be your wifi activity, if you have other devices doing network tasks it could be hogging your bandwidth. Reboot the PC and the tablet after you have got them working together. Might help.
The MX Player app should detect your configuration and suggest you install the additional apps such as the ARMV6. I use an Asus TF700 for these apps, so I don't know what you would need for your device.
External drives are accessable. If they have sharing enabled and you have set a share name (all done in windows sharing). You see in my screenshot that I have several external drives (FreeAgent Go Flex and JVC camcorder are USB2.0 connections).
one other option...
That app that duck mentioned above seemed very interesting and I am going to try it out myself! One other option you can do to move files back and forth from PC to tablet and vise versa is an "ftp server app". You can get many of these apps for free from the Google store. All you do is download the ftp server app and setup a login and pass. Then you download an ftp client for windows such as filezilla (which is my favorite). Now you just connect to the IP address and port number given by the ftp app running on your tablet. Now you can transfer files back and forth very easily! The best part of this is that one, its completely free and two, your tablet does not need to be rooted.
Also you should look for the Samsung usb drivers so you can connect your tablet that way and move files from your PC to your tablet or sdcard of tablet very easy. You can find these USB drivers here on this forum or with a simple Google search. If for some reason you can't find them let me know and I will post you a link.
Oh, and if you are looking for a way to control your PC remotely, look into team viewer it is such a great app, the absolute best!
I hope that has helped you out,

Sorry ink I thought you only wanted to transfer files from PC to tablet, not play/stream files that on your PC from your tablet. However, if you move the files over to your tablet, especially movies they will play better, and then you can always delete the file to free up the space. I see you are having trouble playing videos with MX player...
Try mobo player or v player both of those work great for me...
I hope that what I said above helps you out, there is always more than one way to do things.

So, @Chainfire was kind enough to drop root on us today.
That means all bets are off. I got a Nexus Player early because I am a big HTPC enthusiast, as well as an avid Android Tweaker. I live to rip apart my OS and tailor it like a weird suit only I could love.
So, just flashed CF's rootboot, and it worked wonderfully. Given that I can now not only decompile and recompile lollipop APK's at will and modify system files...well...we can do anything.
For starters, I definitely want to make Google Play Movies uninstallable. I have Plex and a ton of content, and I don't want to have google movie suggestions cluttering up my screen. So let's make a script that can dump it to /data. Hell, toss music over there too.
How about re-ordering the home screen so the apps we want take first slots...not google's stuff.
I'm sure we can also have some more fun. If the bootloader is insecure, we can unpack the boot image, add init.d support and maybe tune some of Google's stock settings...see if we can get it to render HD content a little snappier.
So yeah. Hello everybody with a Nexus Player. I'm Digitalhigh. I've tried to do awesome things for people who have had the Evo 3D, M7, M8, and a few other random devices, and now I'm going to take a crack at the Nexus Player.
Let me know if you have any other ideas you'd like to see materialized.
Sounds good!
I think my number one pet peeve is not being able to re-arrange the apps how I see fit (even the "bump to the front the apps you use most" feature as google supposedly designed isn't working). I'd actually love to have a "pinned" row above all others with my favorite shortcuts, in the order I want them.
A close second fix would be the ability to surface non-TV optimized apps directly on the main interface, on a per app basis.
I love that the NP is now open for business.
Anyway we can get it setup so we can select the output resolution and possibly adjust for overscan. Also see if we can get some surround sound support. Seems that only google play movies outputs dolby digital.

Same here! I just did my first bit of system magic, completely obliterating play movies and tv, just to make sure the system wasn't dependent on it somehow. It's not, and I'm happy.
I will do a pull of /data, go through the XML and db's and see what settings are available to us. It'd either be in /data, or maybe a default settings bit somewhere in the UI apk that sets the default layout.
For adding non-TV apps to home menu...I forget the name, but there is an android APK out there that will let you link to specific activities in an app and make a shortcut for it on the home of launcher...I wonder if it would work with this.

Again, I'll look at what settings are available. I'll also pull down the factory image for it and see what we have available there. Just because we don't have an installer for it, doesn't mean we can't flash custom software and stuff through bootloader...kinda similar to my Rockchip RK808 android on a stick.
Oh, and I know it's a pain...but get the plexpass for a month or two. The plex for plex pass app works BEAUTIFULLY with this. I know it sucks having to pay, but versus sideloading the regular apk...it's so gorgeous...and it integrates into the home screen and searches. Only beef with it is that it's a bit laggy over AC for 1080...can't wait for my OTG cable and USB hub w. integrated NIC.
Edit: Oh, and it was sending 5.1 audio to the stereo.

So excited! I wish I knew more so I could help. I'm still just figuring how to setup the android sdk lol. But anyways, I guess what I'd like to see are my own apps in the home screen and all of the content at the top that Google shoves in our faces removed. If there's anything I can do to help get all of this awesomeness going just hit me up! ?
I sideloaded the plex apk from my logitech revue. It has the android tv interface. I dont know how up to date it is compared to thr plex pass version. But it works. But its only outputting 2.0 audio. According to the plex forum its because it uses the internal android player. That doesnt support surrounf sound.

I suspect this interface is customized. Give it a try.

You can turn off notifications for Google Play Movies (or any other app) and it wont show suggestions.
Looking forward to whatever else you may be able to come up with regards to customization.
I had to RMA my original unit, so I am waiting to get the new one before I root.
I'm just glad you're here. I was beginning to get nervous... it seems almost nobody has been talking about the Nexus Player. I have no development experience, but would be happy to test/help in any way needed. Keep that in mind.
Also willing to test and collaborate

Count me in as well! Can't wait to see some development for this little hockey puck.
please open up Bluetooth audio support. that would be awesome.
Calendar
I would love to get google calendar working, (can sideload but won't open) Would love to be able to sync my calendar to this device for morning viewing.
Third party apps will install (business calendar) but you cannot sync for some reason.

This is probably best as a separate topic in the Q&A section, but have you checked in settings under your user name? there is a sync section. is calendar listed there at all? I can't check at the moment, but something you can try.

Thanks for your feedback. It's useful, "Sync online playlist" feature will be implemented in next version. :good:
You can send feedback directly in the left menu of the App.
I suggest that on the search result, not only show the name of the video / music, but also the length of time, how long for the video / music.
And also, it would be great if the search result can show the playlist of other people, like on the official YouTube app.
This app is absolutely genius!! Thank you so much for creating this!
Suggestions:
- Settings to choose default quality to download
- Removal of default youtube account, or implementation of option to use our own account (app is really early version, I understand)
- Option to exit the app from the notification on lockscreen (for now pause and swipe it away)
Bugs:
- Alot of urls cannot be fetched for some reason (lukas graham feat Brandon Beal golden for example), but I encountered 6-10 songs in 25 tries (once a song reports error, retrying never helps though the message suggests it)
Last note - what about the legal aspect of this app, especially in regards to the download feature? Have you considered a reaction from Google?
Kind Regards

Hmm, I know that. The application's purpose is just bringing the comfortable to user by provide some "limited features" of youtube app such as listening sound from video to save bandwidth and saving offline contents. It has a bit of trouble about video's copyright but I think it can be ignore because there are many website and browser/plugin does the same.
The app is Non-profit 100%. I neither intend to publish it on Play store nor compete with youtube app.
Thanks :good:

About servers and availability - is the conversion of songs and fetching from YouTube happen on your server infrastructure? If yes, you might want to change that to happen on the user's phone, at least any part of the process requirering bandwidth, as that is the pricy part. Also to avoid local restrictions on content.. The conversion of songs, I don't know if that is possible locally on Android, it requires you to add much more code to the app.
About copyright, I think you are right, but moving workload to the individual device also helps here :good:

All streaming data come from googlevideo host, it means my app does the same with youtube app except while you download video as mp3 type.
New version, very nice! :good::victory:
Question, is it planned to implement the suggest feature youtube have? Eg, when I play a song, similar or related songs are shown.. It's tricky I know, I was just wondering?
Just noticed the following errors when downloading songs.. I guess the timestamps and titles will allow you to investigate if necessary.
Nice initiative but will wait for much more stable and complete app.
^~^
good luck buddy.

Current version also fetches related songs, after current playback (online) ended, the next one related with it will auto play.
I planning to design screen "Player" which help you to control playback (seek, next, pause,...) and see the related songs.

Oh, I got it, I have fixed this bug and will include it in next versions.
Big thanks for you.
You're a genius. Best online music app ever, I really liked it. Could you add predictive search just like in youtube or it isn't possible?
Love the app idea.
Here are suggestions:
1). Playlists - It would be nice to search/play music playlists.
2). Seek Bar - There are some long music mixes or playlists converted into one large file, the ability to fast forward the long track is not possible.
These two features makes YouTube a great app for music.
I can't download the media libs.
Me either I've tried to all day thought it was just me

With Amazon Fire TV arm64 libs start to download but then the app crashed and won't start up again. Deleted cache and data and the app will start again and trying to download the libs again but it is again crashing.

I'm thinking of it. May be my app detects wrong CPU architecture of your devices (I see some topic say about android TV issues with CPU arch).
Your TV's cpu is arm64, does my app download arm64-libs.zip?
Thanks for your report.
