It has just been released to the market....but only plays back over Wifi.
Just wondering whether it would be possible to spoof the app into believing that the route was Wifi when it was actually 3G?
Cheers
If I could see it on the market it would be a start.
Running TastyGingerbread 2.0 on my Hero
Here's the link
https://market.android.com/details?id=bbc.iplayer.android
i cant install it on my cm7 powered g2. doesnt show up in market.
We need someone to post the original apk.
Or we also need someone to fool it into not caring what country it's in. Haha
A friend with a stock UK HTC Desire HD just installed it and sent me the link .. it doesn't show up for me.
If anyone can post the apk would be great full
Here you go...

It installs itself to /data/app/
I've tried it out, it works but the sound is out of sync for me.
Also is there any chance that the Iplayer app could be spoofed into thinking it was in the UK even though you are in the US

This.
Might we be able to remove it's check for location?
Or is it using the same check the website uses, and since we can't edit the website, we can't do this?
Thank GOD the BBC have finally done it!! Downloading now
Woah is it that bad? 2 and a half star rating!
APK if needed: http://db.tt/CgCD9fu
The WiFi check is done locally in the application - which is really just a fancy interface around a flash player.
If you know how to edit an APK, you need to edit bbc/iplayer/android/util/ConnectivityStatus.smali, changing line 126 from return v2 to return v4
v4 contains the wifi connection type value so the app will always think you're connected via wifi.
Hey Zibby,
Any chance you can post the mod'd apk?
doesnt work for me.. im in florida (usa) only works within the uk.. any fix for this?
so this doesnt work in the us?
Out currently doesn't work in the US but hopefully the smart folks at xda will figure a way around that

Will post it later today when i have some time - it appears the UK check is done "locally" too. I *think* it sends a request to the BBC and that returns if the IP is in the UK or not. Question is, do the BBC protect the streams or not? (Can anyone outside the UK access the streams?)
EDIT: It seems my modified iplayer app continues to download what you were watching if you just press the back button to "exit" out of the app and churns through the data - can someone check a non-modified version to see if it does it too?

Just had a look using droidstats, and it does appear that the app does the same over wifi. My wifi data usage pretty much stopped when I killed Iplayer.
Just wondered if any progress has been made with this?

I'm guessing iPlayer doesn't protect streams as my cousin, using a VPN, is able to stream iPlayer to the UAE. Hope this helps.
Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237
Awesome thanks. I'll be testing as soon as I get home.
very handy!
n4 > cheapcast > note 10.1 attached to sony bravia :highfive:
Awesome concept, but I cannot get my Revue to cooperate at all. It force closes every single time I try to start the service. I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs. Blah this Revue is a POS.
Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again
Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.
Like it a lot!!!!
Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!
A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.
concept
i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv
This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

Reading this might help, Turn Your Extra Android Device into a Chromecast Receiver with CheapCast.
its to use one for sending and one for receiving, could be useful if u have a spare fone with hdmi.

Try https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast/
Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Tried loading up Cheap cast on a second device. (MK802 and ATV1200) It didn't like that at all, none of my phones could see any CCs in Music.
Why??

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?
Congrats on making it to the frontpage of XDA News
Do you feel annoyed every time when you need to access your Home or Office VPN with your Android device because you have to open up the System Settings and then open the VPN Settings?
I developed an application that acts as a shortcut to the Android VPN Settings. You just need to fire up the app and it will open the VPN Settings menu for you! Hope it will save you some clicks when you need to connect to your VPN!
The app is completely free and ad-free, please try! :angel:
You can find it on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rosaneng.vpnsettings
Or download the APK below and install it yourself:

QuickShortcutMaker
Thank you for your work.
I wanted to say that I am using this app QuickShortcutMaker (see the PlayStore for this, can't post outside links at the moment) to create a VPN-Settings shortcut.
Now I am searching to a way to activate a specific VPN-Profile with one click, but i think its not possible at the moment.
nice!
Actually using VPN service is the best for many reasons like changing IP address, be secured, encrypt your tunnel, speed up your connection, bypassing Firewalls and any restrictions to get free and unlimited browsing.. Personally I am using bVPN https://www.bvpn.com/en/faq/1032/ on my laptop and Galaxy note 4 with one account and I am totally satisfied..

Well depends how you look at it, yeah you will be using your own internet connection to go online and you will be able to access your own network. However it will cost you data from your carrier of course.
For me there was a free option from Asus that came with my router to setup a VPN and there are some free services out there as well (Mostly at limited speed and limited data amounts.). Just google "What is\ How to setup a VPN" and you`ll get all the answers you need:good:
After searching around, I couldn't find any place people were really talking about these things... So here we go.
After finding out about the AirTV player and adapter from Dish, I purchased one. Here's what I've learned.
The adapter is a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-955Q. I tested it on my laptop and it works just fine. Best Buy sells that model for $59. Dish sells them for $30. Bonus.
I haven't tried sideloading the Amazon VOD app, but that's next on my list. Also, hoping that AT&T will release a DirecTVNow Android TV app soon. My question is, when they do, is there any way for Dish to block it on their AirTV box? Considering it is their direct competition. Or can we just root this thing and do it anyway? I'm thinking about just keeping the AirTV adapter and getting a SHIELD and going that route.
Anybody else messing around with these things?
Can you tell me what chipset it uses and how much RAM and storage space it has?
CPU: 4x ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1200 MHz
64 bit ARM
Ram: 1GB

They don't have any factory images available, but I got word that they are planning to push an update OTA by end of February.
We'll have to grab that when it's downloaded.
You can access recovery by plugging it in and holding down the "find remote" button.
Android recovery
Technicolor/uiw4010ech
6.0.1/MUF05/1.0.2.111816
Then you can reboot to bootloader, which then just starts up Android.
You can disable the sling app in settings and it won't then auto launch.
I like the remote of n the device. It automatically integrates with your TV using infrared. I am going to try it on the Nexus player to see how compatible it is.
Can one of you pull the sling apk from your airtv box? TIA
**edit
Guess that was too difficult for you guys, thanks for nothing

Could you get the sling apk for this. I'm having scaling issues with SD content on Android TV version. Want to see if this is any better.
Stock Rom option
I'm curious if it's possible to get rid of the built in interface and move to stock android tv. And still allow us to use the OTA dongle

I have been using it for about a month and purchased because of the Sling promotion (Model UIW4010ECH). Works pretty well and has a good tv guide interface that combines the Sling and OTA channels. I am very annoyed that it blocks several apps including xfinity and amazon video. I'm trying to get amazon to work. I have ES file explorer installed and pulled the amazon apk from my nexus. Tonight, I plan to spend some time tinkering. If there is anyone with advise, I'm all ears.
I downloaded the Amazon instant video for android from API dot.com and side loaded it. it was version 4.1.20 which I think is the apk for Sony smart tv and after reset of airtv player , it has worked fine.
DirectTV app for tablets works, until I click on a channel to watch....lol

Has anyone figured out how to record OTA channels on the AirTV? I got the tuner through the Sling promotion and it pulls in all my local channels fine in both the Sling app and the Live Channels app. I put a 32gb USB thumb drive in the second USB to test if I could record anything but there does not seem to be an option to do that. My understanding is that in the Live Channels app guide shows that can be recorded should say something like "DVR recordable" in their listing. I didn't see that for any of my OTA channels.
I also tried sideloading the Plex Server app from a ShieldTV just for ****s and giggles but that wouldn't even install.
Has anyone had any more luck than me?

I'm also curious about this.. I have seen a couple reviews indicating they have disabled any kind of external USB support.. however, they do say on their website, "OTA DVR coming soon". That leads me to believe that they are looking into allowing external storage but that that haven't made it that far yet, which makes me sad.
I'm going to try and see if it can locate my NAS drive and get a 3rd party tuner app to record shows to it over my network. Other than that I don't think there's any way to get it working unless someone roots it and gets USB storage working natively.
Sorry if I am not knowledgeable on these things. I want to download and enable the apk for setvnow on the AirTV. Right now it only allows apps from the play store. I need to access the apk via a website. If i can then this box might just be what i need to combine IPTV and OTA TV.
Maybe the wrong spot, but I was trying to get the USB tuner to work on my Nexus. No such luck. I plugged it into my window 10 comp and had to manually download the drivers to get it to work since it's a Haupaugge (sp) adapter. Any idea to get it to work on the Nexus player. Those adapters are cheaper than it's own ones. Thanks
Edit. Just a thought. Been playing with it (Xbox one, etc) I wonder if dish blocked any device from Auto detecting it to find drivers??

Re the battery status what do you mean?
Re the Widget - I did think of that but I wasn't sure what value it would add ... you mean to more easily launch it?

My reading of the Google Assitant terms of service is that it is for new hardware devices only, but I'd love to be told I'm wrong, since I'm pretty sure I've done a lot of the hard work with the low-level audio and http/2 connections already.

In the watch app you can swipe right to an empty screen. Why is this there?
Registration
Hello. Just bought the app from the GalaxyApps Store. However, every time I launch it from the watch, it gives me a new registration code. I enter it, I get the message saying it was successful and my registration is now complete. Then it happens all over again. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: OK, it seems to be fine now. On the 9th or 10th try, it stayed registered. I don't think I changed anything from one instance to another, so I couldn't tell you what caused the different outcome.

Hi,
Which phone and watch do you have? I know it does not show up in the iPhone Galaxy Apps because they do not list paid apps there .
If you have an S3 or Sport can you verify that you have the Tizen 4.0 update applied?
Also could you let me know what country you are in, and what country your account is registered to? I've enabled it for everywhere except China, but I've had someone from Costa Rica that was not able to find it either.
I'm still trying to find my way around the Samsung store.

Is Alexa or your app able to write and send messages using voice recognition ? It's a pain with "period" and punctuation signs in S-Voice ...
Which languages are supported ?

AFAIK you can't use Alexa to write and send voice messages ... the app doesn't "know" anything about your Watch or Phone ... it just provides Alexa functionality (general questions, home device control etc.). It should support any language that Alexa supports .. the language it uses depends on the Amazon account you use to sign up. Definitely English, German and Itialian .... but all should work (if Amazon Alexa supports them).
Will this be possible in future updates??
I love it ! Are you able change the voice output on app ? I.E. Different voices ? The current sometimes is a little low and hard to understand. Thank you and amazing job !
