Streaming .avi files (and most other media files) from Dropbox [App and workaround] - HTC Sensation

Hello my fellow HTC sensation users, I ran across a post the other day with someone posting about the same issue of trying to view a movie from my dropbox and they couldnt figure it out. It took me a while, but I think I might have it!
Make sure you have dropbox... also I have not tried this with other cloud storage apps.. ie google drive and box
Go to the play store and download these two:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...explorer&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...te.cloud&hl=en
.
Sign in on the Dropbox client in the Anttek (or which ever one you use. It should be on the top left of the application: click on device, select cloud , and then your respective device.)
Also, make sure that you have a video player, I recommend something other than the stock player.
From there pick the file and play!
I tested it with Mx Player, Mobo Player, and VLC Beta player. Worked on all of them perfectly,
My rom when I first tested this was Virtuous Eclipse, Android 4.03, HTC Sense 4.0. Worked great
and now I am using Cm9 RC1... no issues either!
I hope this works!! Good Luck my fellow Android users!
Happy flashing, modding, and posting

veetle .com works on 2.2 phones!

There is no app yet but I figured this is a good place to post it for someone looking for veetle on android. The iphone/pad has an app but we really dont need one now that it works. I cant get cable here so I stream foxnews from veetle. Now i can watch it on the phone.
FOR REAL: Stream Veetle.com on Android
I recently switched to an HTC Inspire 4G from an iPhone, and I've been super frustrated that veetle.com doesn't stream natively to the device. I've spent a good chunk of time looking into how to do this and this morning I came up with a decent way to stream any veetle channel on an Android device.
Requirements:
•*Rooted, S-OFF, et al
• Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 Installed
• VPlayer (can be installed from Android Market)
In the default browser in CM 7, tap Menu, tap More, then scroll to the bottom and choose Settings.
Again scroll to the bottom, and tap Select User Agent, found under Advanced Settings. Choose iPhone for the User Agent type.
Navigate to veetle.com, and you'll see it's presented as it is on the iPhone, and VPlayer handles the m3u8 streams just fine. You might need to turn up the buffer size in VPlayer to get a nice consistent flow, but this is my new method for watching Veetle.com on my phone.

Hey it definitely works when you play the channels from the veetle website but there seems to be a problem when i try to view veetle channel links on other websites.It gives me a message COULD NOT FIND STREAM LOCATION .I have confirmed that the stream is working by using my PC ,so any help would be much appreciated.
Finally i can see sports on veetle. Since im using nym`s i cant see. Can someone port the browser.apk? im very happy with this rom and im not planning on a change, but if no one can port the browser i might have to think about it.

How did you do it??
I tried with all browsers and no luck. I can only save the file stream.m3u8 and when i try to open with vplayer it skips and gets back to file browsing. the same happend when i try to open the url on vplayer.
Please can someone post the app on the forum I can't find it on the market as its not available in my region
sorry to bump this but i need help. vplayer installs on samsung mini, but gives me an error and shuts down when i try to run it. So is there another program that does the same as vplayer but works on samsung mini, because i really want to use vettle. thx

I broadcast on veetle, full time. After my research on android, i found out that Android OS stream veetle using dolphin hd+vplayer could do it. Check MePirate on veetle movie list and go to my website for more details. There is vplayer.apk ready to be download there.

Crackle

Can't find crackle in the market on my droid x running gingerbread.
Any idea where I can get the apk for the free version?
There have been so many many threads and responses out there all looking for an app that will get Crackle movies playing on their G-Tab. I'm one of them. Forget Hulu. Crackle has great films and they're free with a tiny bit of commercials intermixed which is no big deal when it comes to free. Anyway, just finished watching The DaVinci Code after having watched Ghostbusters. All on my G-Tab. I loved it.
Just get Dolphin Browser, for free, from Android Market. (The Browser that came with the system is not very browserable.) Then enter http://www.crackle.com and with the assist of your WiFi, you're there and you can select and play a whole bunch of movies. They stream very nicely although the sound is so low you'll need the assist of some head gear. Unfortunately, Hulu can't be accessed this way. Why and how was crackle able to do what Hulu can't? Forget about a Crackle app, just do it the old fashioned way, with a trusty browser at the helm.
While I appreciate sherwinsilv's advice, and he's right, crackle works through the Dolphin browser, it would be nice to have access to the specially designed crackle app... Few media sites take the time to have streaming available to us Canadians, and here we have one (thanks Sony!) but Google is precluding Canadians from grabbing the app in the Market... if someone could post the most recent apk for crackle, it would be greatly appreciated...
I'd still like the .apk too.
Can nobody help a man who's down on his luck and post the apk for crackle?
Try this apk
Hi,
I found this link for the .apk in this same forum, I tried installing the apk in my Archos 101 installation was fine. I was able to open the app and see the movies and shows content. There were couple FC too. However the issue is I unable to play any of those videos as I get a DRM error.
But you guys can try and give your feed back how it goes.

I'm a new user so I can't put links in my post. Just replace "-" with "/" .

Anyone else adventurous enough to load this file on their phone?

[Q] web scripts?

so i'm not sure if this is a thread yet or not but does anyone on here use icefilms.info? if so is there a way for those of us with rooted inspire 4G's to stream icefilms. it requires the divx player add on (old version of divx player) and icefilms script from user scripts to play on google chrome on my pc. seems like it should be easy for android phones but am a noob and have only just rooted my phone like 2 weeks ago. anyone with any ideas
im wanting to do this too, there is a greasemonkey app that you can get, but i dont think theres a divx webplayer addon
hi guys, Altair from icefilms here...
if you go here, follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899141
then you can. I personally use an app called Vplayer, but YXPlayer works just as well...
if you copy the link to the video on megaupload, and go to the app, you can press the menu button and select input URL and then directly stream the video.
but coincidently im actually here on the forums now to try and get the ball rolling on an official app so... yeah, watch this space.

Other options than Google Music???

My SDCARD got fried awhile back and I'm looking for another streaming alternative. You guys have any recommendations?
My friend has Zumocast on his Bionic which rules, but I have a fascinate. Any ideas?
You could use Audiogalaxy to stream from your own PC ... works awesomely (real word?)
Personally, I love Google Music =)
Best music player out, period. (especially the newest ICS leaked version... she's a looker).

I've been dying to try and get the ICS version to work. Normally, I will have to open Google music one time. Close it. Open again and it ask about my email yada yada and all my music pops up. ICS version just acts as if it's a stock normal music player
EDIT: I am a huge idiot. My sync was turned off. Its working now. This looks 100x's better than the older 3.0 version. Thanks man.

Problem with Facebook with the latest update

To mods, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread, if not you may move this.
I have a problem with facebook app for android since I recently updated it to the latest version which is version 6.0.0.28.28
My problem was whenever I play a video a video, the video will be played by facebook built in video player. Supposedly before update, I was able to choose a 3rd party video player to play it. I always choose MX Player to play facebook videos because there's a lot of options to choose like H/W or S/W and video scaling.
Is there a work around to disable facebook built in video player.? I have tried to clear defaults but still doesn't work.
If anyone here has a copy of the facebook apk version 4.0.0.26.3 I would like to ask a copy of it. I think this is not a violation for warez because facebook is free to download in play store. I just needed that specific version because that works perfectly on my phone.
Is there a way or an app that can automatically backup an app in android before updating.? Hope you'll share your ideas here.
Thanks for taking time to read this.
Use facebook 8.0.0.0.23 dev version. It is not only the latest version but also supports the feature you said.
Use ES File Explorer to back up apps manually before upgrading.
I have uploaded app called System Optimizer apk that can backup apps before updating but it comes with its own market.
Good Luck!
