Yeah, that's what I was hoping (as I tried it just to be sure). Hopefully something will come down soon. I can't wait to get most of the music I want to listen to off of my phone

though if MS enables SkyDrive for music then u can just use that and won't have to rely on ****ty Google.

well Google hasnt even made a simple Youtube app for WP7, so I wouldnt get my hopes up. Amazon probably will have an app soon, considering they already have the Kindle and amazon store app.

I'd love to see Amazon do an appstore app and give away free apps everyday like they do on Android. I must have nearly 200 paid apps gotten free from the Amazon Appstore.

That would be nice. I'd like to use MS on this one for sure. Not that I hate Google or anything.

True. I'd almost rather use Amazon's service as it's pretty cheap with the current no limit on your own files plans. No telling what Google's going to charge

actually try them out?
I have actually treid both of them out.... (gasp!)
amazons version reminds me of waiting for a RealPlayer video to load BUFFERINGGGGGGGGG...
Amazons crashes more often, and has more ui issues. Google Music Beta crashes 1/4 tp 1/10 as often, and the ui works better for "caching" music offline.
try them both, just hating one because of bias is pointless.

Have you given the zune pass streaming a try? I have been using it and it has been pretty good, quite a large collection, buffering is quick to non existent and i havent seen any crashes or whatnot since its part of the marketplace tile.

It works quite well. I'd still like a google music app though, as I have 2,000 songs in the cloud and could stream them for free.
I'm sure we'll see one after Mango drops.. with background audio capability.

Oh, I have tried them both and of course Google is better as for things working the way you would expect. Like actual monitoring of the folders instead of uploading or launching the music manager to add music.

Tried Zune pass. It's nice, but there a lot of independent stuff that I can't find on there.

Yep, I'm with you exactly on this one.

[Q] Local videos showing up in Google Play

Last weekend i ripped a few movies and TV shows off blu-rays and threw them on an SD card so that i could watch them on my S4. Today i was browsing the web version of google play, when I noticed a selection of my ripped videos had shown up in the "My movies and TV" tab. On any device i can watch these videos as if i had purchased them from the Play store. I can find no reference to this feature anywhere. has anyone else encountered this or am i simply going crazy? If so how did it happen as i can't seem to get this to happen again.

Well it's certainly not a "problem" more like an accidental feature i can find no record of existing.

I suppose but it freaked me out as it appears I could throw any media (for example a pirated TV show) on my SD card and it would be instantly legitimized into google play. This seems like it would be a huge deal yet i find no reference to it and it can't be a bug as it functions like a feature. It leaves me very confused. Especially since nobody seems to be aware of it's existence.

Kodi on Android Play Store

It's no longer necessary to sideload Kodi.
The Kodi team has created a google+ testing group. Here's the link to the Alpha testing. . Join the group, become a tester, install from the play store.
I had to uninstall the old version before installing through the play store. Backup before switching.

appreciate the heads up.

its doesn't see my adt-1 to install on

Having this officially on Android TV would be cool...

This is brilliant news, downloaded last night, runs like a dream, unfortunately only at 50Hz (see my other post) so you get juddering and not smooth playback but hopefully google should fix this

Did as mentioned in 1st post. but it is not showing up on the main screen

Downloaded...Kodi thanks
It's been a looong time since I set up (xbmc).....anyone have pointers.....like how to go to repositories. ...etc....thnx

I did this a week ago, i had to stop using it because while using Lollirock (which allows volume control) for some reason it shows both android volume and kodi volume when i raise or lower it which is somewhat annoying.
I looked it up and they did this intentionally so android handles the volume now. I wish they would just get rid of the UI if that is the case.

Installing now

looks like it's not on the play store anymore.

You need to sign up for the beta using the links in OP. It shows up just fine for me.

It is working perfectly here

should i be able to install the beta version as per https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/101953908499318548671 on my nexus player?
i signed up to the beta, agreed, got the link and used it to install on my nexus player.
the play store page now says it's installed, but there is nothing on my nexus player.

Sounds to me like you've run out of available space on your Nexus Player. If you try to install an app to your NP from the Play Store via a PC, the PC version of the Play Store isn't technically "local" to your Nexus Player, therefore it has no idea how much available space your NP may/may not have. All it does is process your installation request. Whether or not it REALLLYY is installed or not, the Play Store via PC isn't quite that intelligent yet and has no clue.
I've actually had this same thing happen to me several different times as well. Each time I was out of space and didn't realize it beforehand. Check to see if that may be the problem. :good:

nope, i had around 2GB free.
it eventually appeared on the nexus player about 1 hour later after i clicked install.
having the same problem with ES File Explorer, but as of yet that still hasn't appeared on the nexus player, and i selected to install it around the same time as kodi.

Installed a few days ago on my Nexus 10, works fine. Waiting for my box I ordered from Amazon.

Help me find a music app

Up until a few months ago I always used the same music app an my phone. I never made a note of what it was called, it just said "music" on the app drawer and it had an "f" against like a purple and black background. I've hunted through all my saved apps and all the music apps on the Play store and I can't find it.
Can anyone help?

i think you should give some description about the app, it's easier to find the app with wanted features. I know many nice app on Play Store. :fingers-crossed:

I'd say it was probably a propitiatory app to your phone manufacturer?? What model of phone is it, that may help find your app faster?
Otherwise, there are A LOT of GREAT music apps out there... Several free, several cheap ($1-$2), and several expensive ($4-8). Several of the cost ones, have a free trial... I'd just keep installing and deleting them until you find you like....I just went through this a few weeks ago myself after using the same one for the past 3 years.

Been using Blackplayer for a while now. By far my favorite

It was definitely an app I downloaded as opposed to the installing directly from the Play Store so it would've been free. What I liked about was that it played every track on an album without having to select all the tracks in a folder first. It also had an auto resume feature which played your last listened to track from exactly where you left off. It also had a decent eq. And the app was made up of several pages, easily accessible by sweeping left or right. The graphics were pretty good too. I'm sure there are a good deal of similar music apps on the Play store but I don't want to have to install each one to find one which does as is expected.

Try Ubermusic. Take your download may through the Browser by searching the APK. It is very old but the design is neat.

so you installed this app on your phone? I don't know exactly the app you need but i think you can get apk file stored on your phone. TRy your luck.

No such luck I'm afraid.

Sony Music Player app (previous name:walkman), pretty cool app. I think you will be pleased with this app.

Music Player Folder Full.
I love it. Very simple, plays music just from folder.

Phonograph is nice

Open Playstore, go to "My apps and games" and select the "all" tab. It will list all apps you have ever installed from the playstore.

Hulu not playing

On my other phones I'm able to play videos thru Hulu just fine. But on the mate 9 it just shows a blank screen forever. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app still doesn't work. It will still let me stream videos to my Chromecast though

I've had exactly the same problems. I've written a comment to the developers through the play store. You should as well. More people that write more likely we get a fix

Hulu works just fine on my Chinese variant 6gb/128. Although I downloaded my hulu through the amazon store. Maybe uninstall the one from play store and try installing the version through the amazon underground app?

I tried downloading thru Amazon app still has the same problem. I'm going to try one more thing tomorrow downloading the app and side loading it. Hopefully that works
