Hello!
I recently bought an android tablet and as I use a personal music player (inspired by Amarok) on PC I decided to port it to Android.
I just finished a first test version without much polish and I'd appreciate some feedbacks and suggestions especially on the behavior on phones devices as I built it with tablet in mind.
Features :
- Advanced queues management
- Flag system that allow to do actions at the end of some tracks : stop playback, jump to another queue, etc...
- Configurable library view
- Last.fm scrobbling with offline cache support
- Static & dynamic playlists
- Tags edition
- Artists & Albums covers automatic download
I take features requests.
The app is available on Google Play, named BullseyeDroid (can't post outside link)
Thanks!
I did not find it in market, is it still available

Is there any reason it is 3.2+?
You are losing quite a bit of a market.

Yes there are reasons. As I targeted tablets I made heavy use of the new API (Fragments, ActionBar, etc...)
It's not that it can't be done with previous APIs but it would be tricky and far less natural. I don't think I would have done it in the first place if the API wasn't attractive.
Dolphin Browser was updated to version 11.3.4. Now support Flash to Lollipop 5.
Here’s a brief list of those new features and changes made into Dolphin Browser:
Flash support and enhanced browsing experience on Android 5.0.
Merry Christmas! Check out gorgeous Christmas wallpapers in Theme.
Auto-clear app storage when device storage is not enough.
Sync speed dials, add-ons, themes, settings and more via Dolphin Connect,
Share pages between devices using NFC.
I can't get it to work
Here on Nexus 9 no flashplayer working
Just 3 weeks passed since Ugoos V3.0.0 beta first appearance. Last week in Ugoos blog apeared new firmware V3.0.1 based on Android 5.1.1
So I decided to reflash my device and try new Ugoos software. Before this moment I used dualboot version with 4.4 kitkat and xubuntu 15.04.
95% of all work with my UT3s I used Android, but I still feel that I need Xubuntu for a couple of my tasks. Hope they soon add dualboot to a 5.1.1 android.
There is a list of Changes from previous (V3.0.0) version:
1. Added ability get root access (Ugoos Settings)
2. Added ability to control power LED (for UT3/UT3S, Ugoos Settings)
3. Added ability to control Fan (for UT3/UT3S, Ugoos Settings)
4. SPMC was replaced on Special version KODI optimised for current firmware.
Improved/added support: playback video with 23.976fps, H.264 4K @ 25fps, H.265 4K @ 60fps, TrueHD 7.1 D, Dobly 7.1, BD3D ISO, etc...
5. Added additional parameter files, with internal storage size 8Gb and 16Gb (need select before reflash your device)
I have no any problems with reflashing and got my device in half an hour with a tea break included.
UGOOS Blog still warn that this firware is still beta and added a list of known issues:
- Grey background color in Es explorer app.
- Unable to choose Wi-Fi activity power led mode.
Not very scary but still.
The first peasant feature I saw was a fresh KODI with compiled date on 30 october:
Common ugoos features such as fan and led control are getting back.
And root function in device settings
I feel no discomfort with new firmware,it looks rather stable. Some people say that they faced with the problem of using different remote controllers. I am using stock rc with mouse and keyboard and have no problem.
I was afraid that something could hapend with KODI performance, but it's new stable build works smooth.
Hope that stable vesion with dualboot will coming soon.

I tried it on the Amazon Fire TV. The app loaded and functioned, just couldnt load a webpage with it. After typing in a web address and pressing enter, it would just return to the app homepage.
Any suggestions?

Very strange... Do you use built-in address bar (shown on top after pressing "back" button) or you use editbox on homepage?
This app comes very close to being what I need.
I have a Mecool M8S Pro+ that I want to use to watch iPlayer on.
I have not had much luck using Kodi, and using any other way requires using a mouse and or keyboard.
So I tried your browser and I was very happy to see that I can now load iPlayer using the remote control!
But... when trying to view anything, there is just a black screen. Now this is something to do with how codecs are implemented in the system, I think.
I also tried different user agents, using the iPad user agent I can load the video, but it is too choppy to be watchable.
Using a user agent which simulates and older android device, iPlayer tries to redirect to a streaming app, BBC media player.
It does it through and address like intent://[appnamehere] but your browser does not seem to support this.
Basically what I am saying is, can you somehow adapt the browser so the engine is like Chrome and or can you add support for intent:// functionality to be able to open installed apps?
Interesting. Will need to check this out now that Puffin Browser is going to paid subscription model.
Installed and like what I see so far, nice recent addition of ad blocking.
Any chance of getting some sort of chrome/firefox extension for pushing tabs from a paired computer?
I installed this app on my Mi Box two months ago, as soon as puffin asked for a subscription.
It was literally perfect, with fluid and fast navigation.
Unfortunately one week ago the app stopped to load my favourite website for streaming, it was so sad.
I searched this on android tv playstore but it's not there so i have to sideload the apk
Does this have an auto update feature? It's not in the play store.

Hi do you think this is related to version 1.5.8 or not?
Thanks for your browser.
Hi there. I'm trying to play video from www.foxplay.com. After the video loads (or seems to load) and I click play, I get this notification: The web page wants to use following resources: android.webkit.resource.PROTECTED_MEDIA_ID.
I click on allow and the time bar starts running, but I got only a black screen without sound.
Is there anything to do on my side, to fix this issue?
The site works ok with firefox for fire tv, in desktop mode, but it is a PIA trying to do anything in that browser without the menu key.
Thanks in advance.
Working with remote, Thanks!
Hello everyone, the browser is great! The only thing I really miss in contrast to the Puffin Browser is the ability to scale down the page size. Is the browser still being actively developed? Is it possible to build in the function?
Works great than other browsers i've tried, very stable. No crashes on my sony bravia. Pointer is smooth. Adblocker needs to me more aggresive. Still getting redirect pages. A dark mode option. And player controls.
Bonjour
pouvez-vous ajouter une option pour le lancement au démarrage ?
c'est vraiment très sympa l'appli
I love TV Bro for the Mi Box.
I wonder if anyone has attempted to add something like UBlock to TV Bro ?
UBlock is brilliant at immediately closing new tabs that are being opened by Advertising sites et al.
UBlock is also open-source (see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin ) so I imagine
it would not be too difficult for a telented TV Bro developer to add such a feature to TV Bro......... PLEASE
If such a feature already exists on TV Bro I would be delighted if someone would point me to it

Very good TV-Browser, would be nice if it had a channel on Android TV Start page, could show book marks or history or both (2 Channels).
Available on google play and XDA - labs
The application uses nanohttpd to serve videos to google chromecast and UPnP renderers. Also include a UPnP Media Controller and the ability to download movies from a UPnP server
Specially for XDA users the full Application is currently available for Free!!
I'm not sure how well this works for me, but the version available here has the full app with no restrictions.
I would like to find out
What UPnP servers it works with
What UPnP servers it doesn't work with
How to localize the app

Crash reports
I have seen some crash reports....
GalaxyNote8 RuntimeException
That looks like it is a bitmap which is too high resolution for the screen. Will track it down, and move it to a better resource directory
Galaxy S8
IllegalStateException
This is related to starting a service when in the background on Oreo. Should be easy to fix.
Galaxy S8+
Crash in TakePersistableUriPermission - using the gallery to open a video - will work on this one. But in the meantime use settings to use non-android browser
Another issue on a Galaxy S5 launching the player
Updated to try and fix crashes
New version uploaded 1.2.2.13 minor bug fixes
1.2.2.14
New version updated. Improved performance with VideoView and remote videos
Fixes to Samsung Galaxy J3 issues
Fixes to Samsung Galaxy J5 issues
Last release through up a new bug, so 1.2.2.16
Fixes issue on LG where cast library was unavailable, but google API returned true, resulting in a crash.
What's the advantages/disadvantages of this app over similar casting apps on the Play Store like LocalCast?

The cast a lot is more focused on movies, so maintains a database of files which have been downloaded from upnp, or attached using IMDB. This allows it to show a movie-centric view of the content it is managing.
It doesn't currently have support for apple TV, or ROKU.
