I just got one of these, second is coming in mail.
XBMC XAF works great. Netflix works great, but is optimized for phone/tablet touchscreen.
Is there a way to get the googletv netflix app to run on android? Or is there some android APP I can use to control Netflix on the TV Box?
Specify the android TV box.

The one I'm currently working on is some random chinese with the allwinner a20.
The other one is that g-box mx w/e clone.
Both running 4.2.2 android. Just would like a netflix that works with remote or way to control it from my phone.
Miracast isn't working for me.

There's a pretty nice app on the market called Androidvideo Recharged. It has many tv shows to stream to Android. It doesn't use flash, so it is compatible on more devices than most streaming apps.
Cheers , but I do prefer Icestream.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream
It can't be beaten, and its free.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
Regards
IceStream uses flash though, and just links to other sources on the internet that you can go directly to on your browser.. They can be removed at any time also. Androidvideo has their own servers and can ensure that videos won't randomly be removed.

Don't forget to tell everyone that the app is free but you have to pay to watch anything.
I prefer SPB TV, it has not that many channels, but enough for me, and it's free.

You don't have to pay to watch anything. What are you talking about. They do have a premium membership but they also have free videos. If your not smart enough to figure that out, maybe you.shouldn't be on XDA.

Uses flash? To do what? I don't even have flash installed and ice stream works perfectly...

Ice stream isn't even on the market anymore and none of the links on my version of the app work anymore nor have they for weeks. Least with androidvideo, when they have a server problem, they have their videos back up within days, not weeks.

currently still using ice stream and almost all of the links I have chosen work. Did you download moboplayer and select soft-decoding in the settings?

I love ice stream...I even use it for xbmc in my living room!!
I use IceStream as well for Android on my Tablet and Phone.. quite nice... although sometimes with MoboPlayer it crashes , It plays well with MX Video Player .. Too bad its been removed from Market and its no longer on the dev's website either... not sure why.. probably a C & D .

What rom/kernel are you on? I'm on Synergy and it would flash back to the home screen using the default (Ziggie's) kernel. I switched to Lean Kernel, and it worked. I haven't watched a full movie yet, but it appeared to work ok. Did you install MX Player as instructed?

Thanks man, I dont know what all that neon stuff means. Mind explaining?
It seems kind of complicated, it seems like it'll make graphics run smoother, and it is also supported on our devices, so I'm about to try the neon versions of mx and xbmc

Keep us informed man.
I never terry it, but i tried it, works great with allshare cast dongle.....:silly:
Ok so I have the neon versions. All videos (tmz, news, wimp.com) play well except for full tv or movies from icefilms and project free tv. Icefilms stays stuck trying to load a list of movies and project free either gets stuck loading in the mx player when I try play a movie or tv show, or it'll play with tons of buffer issues, I'm talking every couple of seconds

Still on the non neon version and it works perfect for me.
I'm thinking There's just something wrong with those particular channels like Icefilms.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Ice film is working perfect for me though. After I installed non neon MX and non neon XBMC I opened MX Player and downloaded the codec it wanted me to download. After that I closed it out and opened XBMC. Acted a little funny. Went to application manager forced stopped MX player and cleared data, did the same to XBMC. After clearing everything out I then opened MX Player again, closed out and opened XBMC. Everything seems to be working perfectly.
Edit: Could it be your signal? When I drive to Orlando it says I have 4G but its weak as hell. Lags while watching videos. This is around Waterford Lakes Town Center.
Well I've only tried it on Wi-Fi, 4g is great for me. I get close to 3mb a second

no..... some things just don't load for me like ice films and navi-x
After I rebooted the phone, Icefilms finally worked. It a couple seconds to load but I'm just happy it actually works.

Just looking for some suggestions.
I have a pc hooked up to my tv now and it's really quite overkill. All we do with it is stream videos from other computers in the house and watch Netflix.
I'm sure these little android stick things are powerful enough to do this.
Can anyone recommend a good one to replace my puter? Just need to be able to stream HD Netflix and play videos.
Thanks!

If it's just videos, probably any of the dual-core devices will do fine. You may need to use an Android 4.1 rom, as the Netflix app is broken on 4.2 for most or all of these sticks.
The mk808 and mk808b are both around $45; the former has slightly better support while the latter has Bluetooth. I have the b model, and it is great for Netflix. (I also use it with Debian in the background to run my IRC connection; it's got plenty of excess power for that plus videos.)

I downloaded XBMC to my Shield yesterday and set some of the stuff up... today, I'll see if I can get it to work and will let you know!
I have not tried XBMC however Plex works great.
xbmc here http://xbmc.org/download/
Navi x addon here https://code.google.com/p/navi-x/downloads/list

No, but I plan to when I get home from work, I'll report back with my findings.
I tried XBMC just now, and it couldn't play a 1080p mkv on my local network very well, I'm guessing it wasn't using hardware decoding. I was just using the regular Android apk provided on the xbmc website.
Ok then try the neon or non neon .apk files here and the mplayer video player

And it works pretty darn good. Better than the Roku and possibly faster than the X1 box.
Actually running it on a Shield. Haven't tried it on Nexus Player yet.

Currently testing on my Nexus Player (running stock Oreo)...
Much better than previous Xfinity app options. Good find, much appreciated. Thanks for sharing [emoji6]
