I live in Canada and managed to get the Google Music Service via US Proxy. I've uploaded a couple of songs to test it out but I don't see the song on my Transformer .
Do I need to update to the latest Google Music App(an apk exists on the web)? Also, does this app overwrite the Music App already on my transformer? Or should I just wait for ICS (2 weeks...) and it will have the updated version.
Thanks.
I got G Music working by signing up via a proxy service. TO sign up it wants you in the USA, but once signed up it doesn;t care where you are located....It does have some drawbacks tho....for instance I couldn't find a way to move the storage location (ie to the MicroSD), also it renames your music from the original file name to 101.mp3, 102.mp3 etc.....much like Itunes does....I hate this feature it means that I can't simply browse the Music folder and send/copy a file off to share if i want

I had the same issue, but after a few resets the app asked me to login to my Google account and my uploaded songs started showing. I didn't really need to do anything, didn't update the app. I,m on Brazil btw.
How-to: use Google Music from anywhere (yes, outside of the United States) -- Engadget
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/19/how-to-use-google-music-from-anywhere-yes-outside-of-the-unit/
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]
The app id is com.exigo.tiny

thanks for sharing! I recently used the groove mobile but it wasn't good at all.
Downloads as a zip but the post suggests an APK. Shall i just flash it?
Edit: my bad downloaded via phone but showed as zip. Working fine via PC.
Thanks for sharing!
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.

tinyShark 3.1.7
I tried Dood's music and it has a very bad performance (for me),
Searching in google i found the last version of Tinyshark (3.1.7), now it connects, but it doesnt play any song
SOLVED: Settings > Playback Controller > HTML5 instead of FLASH

Tinyshark needs a widget and this has to be useable and offline caching needs some work

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.
Also, buy the music you like. Support your artists

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?
Thanks!

Hmm, so when you install the Netflix APK it seems it won't be manually updated. I think I have the same version linked in the OP, 1.0.1 build 110.
I will contact APKMirror and ask if they can also mirror the leanback version of Netflix.
Edit: Actually when I went into Play Store > Entertainment Apps I could see Netflix there. Entered and pressed update. Got 1.0.2 build 121.
I extracted the following from my NP today:
Netflix v1.0.2 b121
Mega
Vevo 2.1.5
Mega
Pandora 2.0.7

Thank you.
Thank You, very much for your time I am sure this will help a lot of people (including me).

Can someone share the Food Network, Travel Channel and Uvideos for Android TV apks as well. Thank you in advance.
You are the man!

Absolutely, Thanks for your continued support I will be certainly installing the Netflix app on my Nexus Player tonight. Regards - Haxxa
I see you got the HBO Go app from fire tv, anyway you could get the fire TVs pbs video app? There is two apps out there I think one for kindles and one for fire TV and I'd love to have the fire TVs one as its much more TV friendly obviously and we don't have one on the play store, we have pbs kids but not pbs itself.
Are there any updates to the Hulu Plus app?
thanks for keepings these apks updated @Haxxa and @EcPercy, i really appreciate it. i haven't been able to get the market helper app to allow me to install netflix from the play store so you guys really saved the day.
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows of a VPN app that will work with these leanback versions of apps?
I'm located in Canada and would like to access US Netflix. Running either of the 2 VPN apps I have will work fine on the regular-non-leanback version of Netflix, but not on the leanback version posted in this thread. Any ideas? I'm running Lollirock 2.0 on the Nexus Player.
Thanks!

Not sure about VPN mate, so sorry there, but a VPN adds a lot of overhead to your connection by routing all traffic through and would never be as fast as a DNS which is way way easier to setup. Have you considered this option? If you are set on using a VPN it would be hard to find a specific app to Leanback Netflix you would probably have to find one that enables app based routing and as far as I know there aren't any decent ones from the top of my head...

Hey thanks for the reply.
I'm not set on using anything and since VPN don't work, I'm willing to try anything.
Can you give me more information on setting up DNS?

Ok so Firstly I might just explain whats the difference between a VPN and a DNS. There are many disadvantages for people who choose to use A VPN Service when streaming, downloading or accessing blocked/region-restricted content however, the main disadvantage of using a VPN Service is VPN’s are slower than a DNS Proxy.
Because when you connect to a website via a VPN, all of your network traffic is being sent and re-routed through the VPN. This basically slows down ALL of your Internet traffic which results in a very slow and poor quality stream (or download) from the intended website in this case Netflix. Rather with a DNS only some traffic is directed to the US and thus its very fast. - This is explanation overlooks many technical aspects but it gives you a general idea never use a VPN to stream content is reduces speed significantly.
Now changing the DNS is dead simple, its under the settings menu of the Nexus Player, follow this guide to change the DNS - http://ausdroid.net/howto/setup-nexus-player-custom-dns-side-load-apps/
But first you will need a DNS Service they generally cost about $3 a month (CAD) and are available online, I use Getflix which is Australian and has Australian Servers and Australian Billing so you are probably going to want to find a Canadian Option. A quick Google Search found Unotelly and UnblockUS.
So simply follow these Steps-
1. Buy DNS Service
2. Follow Steps in guide to enter DNS Service
3. Watch Netflix
- Dead Easy Right?
That's why DNS is preferred over VPN, easier, faster and cheaper
Let me know if you have any issues...
Just purchased the device from T-Mobile, set it up and everything when well. However I can not download any apps while I'm connected to WiFi,
I can browse and use other apps while on wifi and e erything works. But not on the play store.
That's not a real problem. You just need to update your play store and play services. Use apkmirror website to do that (assuming you have to restore app purchases) If you didn't purchase any apps you could use APKPure instead of the playstore or use alternate stores third party stores like y'all store

Just got the firmware from my tv box manufacturer a kingnovel X10 MAX S905X3 tv box on android 9, any way re-flashed it all went well now I try to use play store for previous purchases it shows buy them for all purchases, I did an update for google play services it hasn't updated the play store app and in apkpure I can see there is an update required for the google play store app it's self, but upon installing the play store app update it fails to install any idea what I can do as I need my paid ftp server app to setup a cloud.
Another thing I tried was a root uninstaller app removed the play store app and then tried to install an updated apk for google play store and even that fails to install it? I contacted the developer again asking if he can help but this may be a long while before replying if at all, but I was hoping you guys here knowing your stuff can help me force install it or get the purchases active again in play store for me thanks in advanace for any help here because I need it.
