[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.

No dude!! I am only looking for normal videos...

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.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

This is Music Junk by the way, great app for finding new music. You can stream or download the tracks. It was pulled from the market a while back.

RE: [Q] Free music download app?
While it certainly isn't a low key app I really like Google Music, you can use their storage space for streaming or downloading per device. They offer up free mainstream music for download from the web app-- it seems to get added to and changed quite often so you never know what you might find and you can use their app to stream or download based on what you want to have on your phone, tablet, or watch (MotoACTV rooted). They also have a good store if you can't find the song you want for free. I've read that a search for Free Music Download.apk is also good, but I can't recommend it as it sounds like they may not be legit so at any point *poof* their stuff is gone. MxTube leveraged YouTube and it was great for iDevices in case you're looking for something on a jailbroken iDevice.

I also use Google Music, works great for me.
Anyway, it's not for downloading mp3, unless you buy the music.
You can try GTunes from market for that.

I and my fiance love Rhapsody!! I can download for offline listening when I am on my wifi, and I love the subscription to listen to everything without having to buy anything.

Is it a free app? When it was in the Play Store, was it a paid app?

Would also check out GrooveShark. Pretty sure the app is free if you are only streaming music... tho if you setup a subscription you can offline music and play when you dont have an internet connection.
Use it every day. Pretty sweet!

Thread closed because of piracy/warez concerns.

[Q] where can I download movies for my tablet?

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.

Sent from my U8150 using XDA

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.
---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------
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.

[Mirror][app] TinyShark 3.1.5 (Groveshark client)

Update: I hadn't realized the original developer still has this on their website. I searched Google before but didn't find any place to download, that's why I posted the mirror. But later on I stumbled upon it. The developer's site is http://exigocs.com you can also download TinyShark Downloader from there.
It's no longer available on Play Store, but I downloaded it shortly after I got Android. I then discovered soon after it was removed from Play Store, so it has since lived on my sdcard with TitaniumBackup, since I did a lot of ROM flashing.
Despite not being updated for over a year, it works great on Jelly Bean , and is still is one of the best Grooveshark apps for android I've ever tried, with playlists, offline cache option, and more.
With offline cache, you can effectively use this as a mobile Grooveshark downloader. It dumps the songs into sdcard/tinyshark_songs/ where they have id3 tags, but are just named a bunch of numbers. You could cache them 1 at a time, then go there and rename the file to whatever you want, or you could just copy to your PC and use software to use id3 to name the files.
Here is the original description:
Listen to Grooveshark on your Android device for FREE.
- Search the Grooveshark database
- Import Grooveshark playlists
- Play individual songs or an entire playlist
- Cache songs for offline playback
Does NOT require Adobe Flash to play music (Settings -> Use Flash Player). TinyShark now does not need Flash for music playback, but it is still an option for those that find it works better.
Starting with version 3.0 a lot has changed under the hood. A lot of fixes are being made so check for updates often. If you are having problems try reinstalling and create a new shortcut in your launcher. If you are still having issues please email details and send any crash reports you can.
Thanks to everyone that's been emailing!
To download songs try Tinyshark Downloader also available in the market.
Taken from:
http://www.bestappsmarket.com/p/app?appId=8894&title=tinyshark
It really works much better with "Use Flash Player" unchecked. [You have to do that to enable Offline Cache]

Not connecting
I am experiencing some problems during the last month with this amazing app. It doesn't connect, when i try to connect i can see the 'connecting...' with the yellow light, but in a few seconds becomes again 'Disconnected' with the red light. Is it just me or this app is not working now?

I am having the same issue as well.

Try using tinytunes app from play store.
It's from the same developer but not related to grooveshark
It's pretty good.
As I am a new user I am not able to paste the link.

If you guys are having issues with 3.1.5 you need to first uninstall 3.1.5 and then update to 3.1.7 found on their website http://exigocs.com/. If you still have problems download and install tiny shark downloader.

I would consider this app *warez* for the fact it is used to steal music off a site that is know for being borderline legal anyways. There is a reason Google removed it from Play.
Just sayin.

Sadly, by buying music you're supporting the music industry (RIAA). By going to concerts you're supporting the artists.

Not the artists I listen to. I buy direct from them or their independent label.
If your music is controlled by the RIAA then you need to stop listening to USA Top 40 and go out and find real music.
Either way is better then supporting this app.
But back to why I brought this up, if XDA allows this app then why not all the other MP3 downloaders in the play Store?
Mod maybe answer?

How to setup squid Proxy for tinyshark for streaming?
Somehow my T-Mobile connection seems to be blocking the tinyshark connection. Whenever I use the T-Mo data connection, my tinyshark would immediately show disconnected.
I managed to setup a squid server so that it now shows "connected" ( squid log says TCP_HIT/200 1495 GET http://grooveshark.com/crossdomain.xml - NONE/- text/xml )
But the songs are not streaming...
Anyone has experience setting up squid for tinyshark that could share some insight?

Google play music

Hey all,
I am trying to sync music that I downloaded on my nexus 7 to my s3 via Google play music. I know it sounds like an an easy thing to do but I can't figure it out. The music was not downloaded from Google music though and I think that might be part of the issue. Any thoughts?

It needs to be put into the Google music cloud through the computer. Once your music is in the cloud you can get it on any device with your account on it.

I think Google is trying to help prevent piracy by adding another layer here. But they require you to use a PC. I would strip metadata from the songs ie:downloaded from.... You never know what they will be monitoring. Many cloud services get a bit nosy with your files. Not saying Google has, but you do agree to only upload music you have legally purchased. Also you may have problems with legally owned music due to DRM, I highly recommend Wondershare media converter to strip DRM, and media monkey to manage libraries.
