[Q] where can I download movies for my tablet? - General Questions and Answers

I have a android tablet and I am going on vacation soon where can I download newer movie to play on my tablet? I use to use torrents but my internet company started to send me emails about violating of terms and they may cancel my service.
I don't mind paying for the movies what are some websites that I can purchase and download from.
has to be mp4, avi, or a .3gp encoded with the MPEG-4 code format to play on my tablet

I believe Google play itself has movies and TV series, check it out.

How dumb can you be. In his first line he says "how can I get movies on my android tablet".

Yes it will work, but only after conversion, which is a waste of time.
Get "Google Play Movies" on the Google Play store.

Oh. How about the utorrent remote app? Would that help?

OP, this does not directly answer your question, but you may want to consider it since it has worked out for me very nicely.
I have a rooted Nook Tablet and wanted to place movies on it for my upcoming vacation (long plane trip each way). I ended up buying a popular ripping program (not sure if I'm allowed to mention product names) and ripping some of my DVD library onto my laptop. Then I transferred the movies to my tablet.
It was really nice to have something to occupy me during the 10+ hour plane ride each way. Hope this helps.

No it wouldn't, uTorrent remote is only used to pause and start torrent downloads that are located on his computer. It basically means his computer would need to be on the entire time he was using his tablet. The tablet would also need an Internet connection to connect to his pc to access the files. Thanks for trying to help him, though.
Just use Google Play Movies now that they allow downloading on Rooted phones.

Okay.
Though you could always install Internet Download Manager on your PC. It's much faster than utorrent.

Torrenting and downloading files from websites are completely different. Plus, even if he did use your program, he will still be breaking the law if he manages to find a movie in not torrent file (which they don't exist btw).
Google Play Movies.
Trewyy

Use torrent for download the movie.

TOrrent is the best

How about YouTube Website
I used to purchase movies from YouTube and then download then to my Mac with Free YouTube Downloader software from enolsoft, but the downloaded movies are in FLV format, if you need to transfer to the Android Tablet, you may need upgrade the Free Downloader to YouTube Converter, which will enable you to both download and convert YouTube videos. Anyway, worth a try.

Looks you'll have to figure how to circumvent the law then,or go the legal route and buy? I find IDM really fast with .zip files off file hosting sites. Not much of a movie downloader.

Alot of products has DLNA.
My Samsung tv has it. =)
check out dlna.org for more information
Installation fails because touchwiz library is missing. Either this lib must be ported also or must be removed from the app. Both are quite tricky I believe.

Thanks, I don't think my TV supports this, but my HTPC running XBMC might.
XBMC built-in UPnP-server and UPnP-client are (since the 25th of September 2007) compatible with DLNA CERTIFIED™ devices

Why would you need that? Download iMediaShare for free from the market and you have the same.

iMediaShare is not free if you expect to see anything but a photo...
Some great thread necromancy going on here!
Regards,
Dave
well, i have a need.. dlna explained more too
@dave agreed.
well, i'm looking to start doing this since i do have a need for an app like this and few others. if you have win7 and media center, you have DLNA support on your pc.
plus, ps3 media server can be used too. anywho, DLNA is a streaming protocol that most vendors/manufacturers introduced to allow one to stream video to various type of products (tvs, boxes, pcs, handhelds, etc).
this app lets you either Receive a stream from a DLNA server or Setup your phone as a DLNA server and then watch your videos/pics on your PS3 or Home PC's media player app.
ok, explaining done, does anyone know what the first steps of removing the touchwiz library would be or where i'd start?

You are right. Hadn't noticed that.
BTW, for those discussing the other side, PS3 and others, ALL Windows 7 computers are DLNA enabled. So if you have a Win7 Media Center connected to your TV, you can hear music, see photos and videos on your TV via Allshare.
Well, I add my vote for an HTC version of this thing.
Any Sense 2.0 and above Rom already has DLNA capability.
Just hit Menu -> Select player while watching a movie/photo/whatever.

[Q] NETFLIX

when i go to watch netflix movies on my gtab the website lets me click on the movie but wont play it. it does it on certain websites too to watch videos. any suggestions?
Netflix is using the Microsoft Silverlight plugin to play the movies in a browser. This is not available for Android.
Playon is supposed to be released for Andriod ..... it plays netflix ....that seems to be the closest, soon to be viable option
Android app supposed to come this century. Hopefully that will help our streaming woes.

If they ever do it that would be nice. I have Playon loaded on my server and using an app called upnplay I can access Playon, but so far have not been able to play anything. It tries, and then quits.

Hey man just use ice films (WWW.icefilms.info) , similar to Netflix. If u have cookies enabled u can save the shows/movies you want to see by clicking on the yellow star next to the title. I wrote a how to guide for it. I can't post links yet but I just wrote it yesterday. The thread is called, How to get icefilms to work on the g tab.
Hope this helps ya out.

[Q] Android App to download Videos (not just You Tube)!!

Can anyone please let me know if there is any app to download videos from any site (not just You Tube)?
I want to download videos (generally flash videos) from any website.
I searched on net and market but there are apps that download videos from You Tube but not from any other site.
i dont think thats possible on galaxy 3.. until full flash support is up..
Thanks for the reply rudolf895 but I think flash is only needed to play the videos not to download them. And also, if there are apps that download videos from You Tube, then I dont think there is any problem in coding an app that will support any website (not just You Tube)?
The app should be that: The User just need to enter the url from which you want to download the video and app should do the rest.
Please let me know your thoughs on this.

Use "Save Video plugin for Internet Explorer". It allows you convert videos during downloading. Just select Convert>Devices>Droid before download videos.
Every app I've tried that says that you just share the link with the app, and then it will download the video, fails to do so. When the link is shared, the app then reports that there is no video in the link. I'm at a loss. I don't wanna download on my laptop and trans over to droid device, that defeats the purpose of using the droid device. If i wanted to use the laptop all the time i wouldn't have got a tablet.
Use bytetornado, it's working!
I found this:
http://www.appszoom.com/android_applications/media_and_video/web-video-downloader_blftq.html
It's not free. But it does work about 50% of the time...
I'm sorry. I have to take back my last post. It turns out that web video downloader is no longer available on the play store. Meaning you'll have to get it elsewhere. And even then it still has a very low success rate. I'm currently trying to download and it keeps crashing. I'm disgusted. Why isn't there an android app similar to internet download manager for windows? Something that captures streaming video?
there are 2 that I have found

Not sure if you are still looking but there are 2 apps that I have found. One is dowloadr...not great and crashes a fair bit but could be the user not the program! the best one imo is video catcher....there is a free demo version with almost full capability or for a dollar you can upgrade and download many vids simultaniosly... basically with videocatcher if you can play it on your screen it can download it.... both in the store

firefox for android will do the work for you..
just add the flash video downloader add-on..

No app worked.
I used opera and adm download manager.
In opera, type about:cache and search for the right file by clicking on preview.
A dialogue box will allow you to open the link with adm.
Start the download with adm.
I had to search a bit for the video file because there are sometimes no extensions and you don't know which site is really hosting the video.
You may consider deleting previous caches in settings to avoid this problem.

Try TubeMate for YouTube videos.......It's against google policy to download videos and hence this app is no longer available on the market...

Dude if you really have the video URL you can download it in any browser. The content you're after is typically one of several components of a web page; the URL you have is either for the surrounding web page, or perhaps for the swf player (the active element that chromes your video stream and provides limited interactivity with the Flash server).
What you actually need is an app to parse the obfuscated video URL from the page source--and to perform authentication if the video is hosted on an RTMP server. In other words, a YouTube downloader extension is not as easily repurposed as you imagine.
For the (GUI-dependent) majority, just using a downloader that can perform RTMP handshaking is non-trivial. That said, RTMPDump binaries have been compiled for Android--give it a try and let us know how it works out.

Music download app

Hi guys im looking for a Music/mp3 downloader app that is able to find:
1- music in Spanish

Hi,
I do not see the interest to download music via his telephone (to listen to it, yes), but do not lose sight of the fact that the download is prohibited and that from a point of view strictly legal the localization of the contravener is much easier than on a computer.
If you want absolutely to download music, register on a site of private torrent and download the music via your computer.
It is only my opinion, but you asked it to us.
itunes
iTunes is the world's easiest way to organise and add to your digital media collection.
We are unable to find iTunes on your computer. To download the free app "Free Music Download" - Downloader and Player by BSOSoft, get iTunes now.

They are private thus it is necessary to be invited

Last I checked it was still in Amazons app store. Has been a couple months though.
Dunno, I've had it for ages cos I dump all my Apps into a backup file on my PC then keep the ones I like...
I have apps from HTC, Samsung and Acer that I use on any and all my devices... Anything I'm not allowed to use are generally reliant on IMEI numbers and block use by other brands and sometimes models....
Check out FREEdi Youtube Downloader from amazon.
Tubemate is great for youtube vids, i use FVD for other sites.
