[APP] Airvidplay - Android Apps and Games

EDIT: can't post links, search for "Airvidplay" in market.
Extract media videos embedded in web pages and display them on any player you want! With Airvidplay you can extract video clips embedded in websites (Even if your browser does not support FLASH!) having the freedom for playing it anytime, on the device you want without the need of using a web browser. Once Airvidplay has processed a web page with an embedded video and you extract the video link you can:
-Watch the video in the native Android player or your favorite Android player (*).
-Download the video directly to your mobile device for later viewing without relying on an internet connection (**).
-Send a direct link to the video from your Android device to the TV in your living room or any 'renderer' DLNA in order to play it automatically with the highest quality possible (***).
-Share a direct link to the extracted video by email with a friend or yourself for playing it on any PC application.
Airvidplay is very simple to use: explore the web (or the specific video site app) from where you want to extract the video, share the link address with the "Share" function and then select "Airvidplay" in the list of available applications. If you run Airvidplay manually, the application tries to find a valid video link copied to the clipboard. Before playing, if desired, you can select the preferred video quality within the available (Low, Standard, High or HD). Sit back and enjoy the video!
Currently Airvidplay 1.0 supports the following video sites:
-Youtube.com
-Dailymotion.com
-Vimeo.com
-Marca.com
-Rtve.es
- ... And more supported sites in future releases!
Limitations:
-Airvidplay is unable to extract embedded videos on websites not belonging to the original video own domain. You must visit the original web video for proper operation.
This is a free version and it includes advertising banners. Airvidplay has been programmed in MIT App Inventor environment with minor modifications of Dalvik opcodes in the final stage.
NOTES:
(*) The native Android media player does not support playback of most low quality videos (FLV). To be played on an Android device a FLV player as "Mx Player" is required.
(**) Most web browsers automatically try to play videos instead of downloading them. "Opera Mobile" has been tested as capable of downloading videos.
(***) To send videos from Airvidplay to your TV or DLNA 'renderer' you need a DLNA control point as "BubbleUPnP" installed on your Android device.

Looks promising

How do i paste a link in input link box?

The market link
Download from play Store

Looks very interesting!
I'm using a JellyBean rom on an older device that doesn't allow to play flash videos in browser so I wast just thinking about an app doing what you are doing, like yesterday!
But unfortunately I get an error when launching the app:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
Source file: Form.java
Line Number: 445
My system is in french so it is probably a language incompatibility.
Let me know if you need more info on this.

Edit: I see you edited it youself

Interesting idea, but a NOGO for me as it only supports several sites. Somehow similar to Twonky Beam, it supports also Flash, but less sites.

Your signature is hilarious!

If this works for Amazon's Instant Videos, you'll really be on to something.

this is just what i was looking for.

Could something like this work to make NetFlix videos downloadable for later viewing?

Very impressive and you built it with App Inventor, even more impressive.

If there's a valid link in clipboard, Airvidplay retrieves it automatically, so no need for paste function.

Could you please add support for comedycentral.com, thecomedynetwork.ca, nbc.com, and citytv.com

Nice App! Keep going!

Sources for plugins
Well, I've played with this app a bit and it looks very promising - good job! The only problem is - one needs to wait for the developer to add support for their favorite site and/or wait for site support to be fixed when the site changes the layout/structure. It's a cat and mouse game, but it has a chance of working if there are multiple persons working on support for various content.
I've worked for a few years on a similar project that used a site scraper to get the video links and push them to a media player (the WDTV Live). The project is called UMSP and is part of the WDLXTV firmware for that media player. There are a ton of (>50) plugins written for UMSP that handle some sort of scraping (mostly by using regular expressions or acting as a proxy) in order to get the URL for the video file and pass it to the player process.
I guess the logic behind some of those plugins can be added to Airvidplay and extend its functionality in the future. The plugins are written in PHP so they can't be directly used, though...
Supported plugins (note, not all of them still work - check out the details thread for each one if you want to port the scraping code over): http://umsp.wdlxtv.com/manifest.xml
You can get the plugin code via svn (svn co --username guest --password guest https://svn.wdlxtv.com/svn/umsp umsp-plugins) or have a look through the web portal: http://svn.wdlxtv.com/listing.php?repname=UMSP
The info.php file in each plugin will contain a description of the plugin + a link to its support forum thread.
A guide to understanding how such plugins work (and how to develop one): http://wiki.wdlxtv.com/UMSP_plugin_development
UMSP plugin forum: http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewforum.php?f=53
Now, I understand that this will involve a lot of work on the developer's part, but at least he can read some code to understand how to extract a video URL (and in some cases how to decrypt it!) to make a specific site work. Because of the amount of work involved I guess the future of this project will be brighter if the program would have a "plugin mode" - some mechanism for users to add their own parsers/scrapers so that one can add support for any site they desire (as long as they know some regular expressions). I'm not sure what the best way to build this plugin architecture would be - could be something simple as reading the regular expressions from text files in a specific directory at start time and associating a base URL to a regular expression, or could be something more complex.
Since site structure often changes, the plugins would be more efficient and easier to be maintained (while still being downloaded with the app).
If you are interested in expanding this application and if you need my help with porting some code from these plugins, let me know and I'll try to help.
Other projects of interest might be the cclive/quvi project (http://quvi.sourceforge.net/) and the XBMC scrapers.

In what folder do the videos get saved to?

is there a chance of supporting twitch.tv VODS and livestreams? i would love it for both

I haven't seen any developments in almost 1 year. No open sources either. I would say it's a lost cause

It's not working any more. Also, it disappeared from the market.

MolyMobile Beta - Streams, adult content, translate, temporary notes, etc...

Hello,
Well, we had a new project going for quite some time now. It is called MolyMobile. It is a website where you can find the following:
6500 radio and television streams (from around 60 countries)
Temporary note function. Save a note with a unique code on your computer and open it on your phone by using the same unique code.
Translate text on your mobile phone
A huge database with seducing tips and pickup lines for woman and man.
Adult content: A huge database with galleries which load images optimalized for your screen resolution so not much data has to be downloaded. Also videos and streaming adult channels.
The streams get checked regular and work on Windows Media Player (not all of them work with Windows Mobile Media Player, you can try other players).
However, we need beta testers who are willing to test the website on their computer and on their mobile phone. Also we need feedback, comments and feature requests. We can add almost everything you want.
So if you use the site, please comment in this thread.
Site: http://www.molymobile.com/
Open for everyone now
I just logged in as betatester, looks good so far
Edit: I just testet the adult section. Could not open the some of the streams. The movies works great and so does the pics. I use a HD2 on orginal ROM.
kaospiloten, thanks for the feedback!
Could you name one of the streams that doesn't work (or pm it). Also, the streams are checked automatically with windows media player, and the mobile windows media player does not support everything the computer version does. A solution is trying other players, like coreplayer, etc.
Looking forward for new feature requests, so I can add new pages. What do you want to see on a mobile page??
Hi
I have problems with:
Girl TV
Girl TV2
Hardcore TV1
Hardcore TV2
AdultChannel and Movie 10 and 25 works on my HD2
I wil try them with CorePlayer
Thanks kaospiloten. You can of course visit the website from your computer, and the four are not working correctly. They probably will be removed on the next check.
But does anyone have a feature request so we can add new options/features.
I'm a bit disappointed with the feedback. Come on guys
Come on, we have worked hard to make all of this free...
Well, we had some other testers, and most of the bugs have been removed. So the website is open for everyone now.
Kind regards,
Themuzz

Looks like an awesome app - all the features I want... BUT it is not currently recognizing my Synology NAS (upnp/dlna). Win 7 media player works great.
EDIT - Sorry it did eventually show up. It would be nice to have some asynchronous loading notifications. Also, if I queue up an entire genre, for example, it takes a looong time to load/start playing (thousands of songs). Otherwise looking good.

I'll think again about async loading notifications (I suppose you mean loading of folders here), but I do not like the additional clutter they involve.
For the second point, the playlist is not designed to handle thousands of tracks. What what your exact use case ? Doing shuffle on an entire genre ?

I updated the first post with an Android Market link to install the app.

Yeah, exactly. But after using it for a while, I don't mind the delay all that much since it only happens on the initial adding the songs to the playlist. Once the songs are added there are no slowdowns.
No other complaints really - hands down the best functioning and looking UPnP audio player on the market.
excellent app, works great with PS3MediaServer
minor issues:
reports search as not supported but I guess that's a PS3MediaServer problem?
doesn't show any album art
I have a DLNA TV (LG_42LD790) but it doesn't show up as a renderer, only local renderer available
how much are you going to charge for the unlocker?

Yes, it doesn't support searching at all.

Most DLNA TV are not remotely controllable to push content. You can just browse from their interface to play content.

1: has the potential of being better than upnplay (although the latter is free & ad-free)
2: needs a landscape mode (or use system/sensor detection)
3: exit on back key press
4: ability to add WAN server
5: use built-in player (like you already do for music types) for divx+mp3,x264+aac,mpeg2 files (detect via 4cc and/or extension - avi,divx,mkv,mp4,mpg,mpeg,vob,m2v)
open external player for other file types (mov/qt/rm/ac3); the system, hardware renderer should be able to decode most of the aforementioned files, thus eliminating the need for an additional app expressedly for that purpose (vplayer/mobo etc)
This COULD give you an edge over the other upnp/dlna solutions, since none of them provide this functionality (yet).
My Setup: Twonky Media Server and WD TV Live as Renderer!
This setup works fine with other apps, also on iOS...
BubbleUPNP looks really good, BUT:
- the timeline / song progress bar (dont know how you call it) doesn't work (even if use the setting 'use other...')!
-> so as a result, the next song in the playlist doesnt play
So by now, the app is useless. Would like to use yours, all the others work, but yours seems more smooth and has a better usability.
Looking forward to some updates!
Would def. pay for this if the issue gets fixed!

2. Not a priority for the initial stable version but in consideration for future versions. Landscape is mostly useful for tablets as it is the natural orientation.
3. You can exit the app via the "Exit" menu action found in the Now Playing tab.
4. definitely on the todo list although probably not in the first stable version
5 in consideration for a future verson

Thanks for reporting, it is a sign that the app has trouble getting timing info from the WD TV Live. There's logging inside the app that should be able to tell why and allow me to fix it. Can you record a log file following the step below, and send me the log to [email protected]:
- launch the app
- go into the Settings page (Menu > Settings) and then in the Advanced Settings section
- check "Enable logging to file".
- IMPORTANT: Exit the app using the "Exit " menu item found in menu of tab "Now Playing"
- restart the app.
- handle the app to trigger the problem
- connect your phone to your PC or MAC and mail me the file /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp/log.txt found on the SD Card
Using as Renderer and Controller on two devices
Hi,
I am using your app to control my old HD2 (CM7) connected to external speakers with my Galaxy S2.
I am having some issues that when I start it up to control the renderer and the renderer have been running for some time, sometimes it will not find/connect to the renderer.
If I restart both apps then they will usually pick up and connect to each other again. I am not sure if this is my HD2 going to sleep in some way that makes it not being visible. But it will still continue to play music from my upnp server (WMP7) though I can't control or add new tracks...
I will put both devices to log when I am home later tonight and send you some log files that hopefully will help.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Cheers
Jonas

I just upgraded my SGS from stock 2.2 to CM7 and fixed today a WiFi connectivity issues that is related to sleep mode. It is not CM7 specific but related to how the WiFi chipset operates when going into power save mode.
So look forward to the next beta which should be out soon.
Using WMP as media player
Hi,
I just installed BubbleUPnP, and it looks really great. I already tested a few similar apps (2Player, Andromote, etc) but it's definetely the most impressive and promising one.
I just encounter a small problem when I enqueue a few music files and then launch the playlist. it sends each file to WMP but directly goes to the next one until the last one. So, only the last file is read.
A workaround is to launch the playlist with only 1 item, and then add other items while playing. Don't know if the problem comes from BubbleUPnP or WMP...
Also FYI, my Synology is well recognized, as well as my Samsung LED TV.

Can you try playing a video on your Samsung TV an tell me if it works ?
I haven't tried it as there is no point, being a BubbleDS user already (and loving it, might I add...feels like a factory app and works far better than anything on the Apple side). But just out of interest, will this be a separate product or will BubbleDS be merged with it?

BubbleUPnP and BubbleDS will remain separate apps (mostly to avoid to clutter BubbleDS with unneeded stuff).
The next major version of BubbleDS will be updated to use the same codebase than BubbleUPnP, which will bring some fixes and even some new functionnality (Shuffle Library).
As a bonus, BubbleUPnP will be a free app to use for BubbleDS owners, as it will act as an unlocker.
Thanks for the clarification

[Q] Media Link HD - Not only for phone2tv, but also from Win(8) to TV [observation]

Hi. New to XDA! Lurking for some time, but registered to tell you this. Crawled through all other MediaLink posts, but none were relevant, or had any answers/tips for further exploration. Well. This also has nothing to do with any phones, for now. Only htc media link hd, a pc, and a tv.
I'm really starting to see the potential of the Media Link HD.
First and foremost, it allows HTC One devices, and other phones, as well, (gsIII, pureview 808, google it to connect to the tv with a simple gesture to mirror or stream content.
What I am starting to discover is, it is possible to connect your PC to the tv with the Media Link as well. (My TV has no internet connection or DLNA natively, so the Media Link is all i have to help me share to my TV.) Pictures, videos and music can ie. be sent to the tv via Windows' "Play To"-function, where Windows Media Player uses the device to stream content. So the Media Link works as a generic DLNA DMR, Digital Media Receiver (i think). Try it out!
I was just wondering if you guys have had other experiences, or knew any other programs that can take advantage of the Media Link, preferrably using a browser to stream online web content, or maybe stream the whole desktop? I'm not buying another receiver or the like, now that I have the Media Link.
I've tried Twonky, and it works with MLHD! - but they have a certain 'media library' you can choose from, not use it everywhere on the web. They have an extension for IE that will let you share to your tv. They had a firefox extension, but sadly that doesn't work anymore. Imma try out XBMC and Serviio (Tried a bunch of other programs, Tversity, tvmobili, plex, mezzmo, mediatomb, universal media server, couldn't get it to work), but as i try stuff out I can update this thread with more results if you want.
Let me know what you guys have found out! And just ask me if i have missed something, and you don't understand anything of what i say..
regards from Denmark
Alright, so after having tried about 20+ programs, I've found something that works well so far!
J.River Media center works as a digital media controller right now on the computer - it sees the Media Link HD and lists it. Now I have to figure out the program, because it's filled with features, and it's very overwhelming. Anyway, I'm watching Youtube videos from the web on Windows, through JRiver, then through Media Link, to the tv - wirelessly! Talk about having a cheap wireless setup
I'll post here again if i find something more simple and easy to use.
But for now, using PlayTo for local files, and JRiver for (some) online content (though it also plays local files) is good enough for me.
As before, feel free to buy in with suggestions if you know anything.
Now, at least i know what DLNA types there are.
DMS - server - hosts content.
DMC - controller - finds content on DMS and sends it to a DMR or a DMP.
DMR - renderer - receives content, but is not able to browse content on DMS (i think)
DMP - player - receives content, and is able to browse the DMS.
So far so good. Again, ask me if anything seems odd here..

Looking for an Android dev to help download and partial video from server.

We're looking to hire a dev with experience with video processing for our Android app (native Java).
We have very large video files on an offline server, where we need to connect to it and download only small parts of the video.
Since we can't change or affect the server code, we need to do it all on the client. FFMPEG can do it, but unfortunately, the only build we could find builds an external process and uses the phone's default internet connection (not the wifi connection to the offline server through the app), so it cannot find the video.
We need to be able to trim a remotely located video file located on the server while downloading only the relevant part. (The server has partial downloading active with status 206)
For example, we have a video file at example.com/videofile.mp4 which is 3 minutes long, and we only want to download the video from 2:20 to 2:45. The code needs access the video file, skip to 2:20, and download only the required video, and not the entire video file.
Any of you wizz devs up for it?
