I thought 3.1 brought movie rentals any one has these working? When I open the market all I see is the apps and the books. No movies.
u have to remember this is a leaked verson , no one knows what OTA will bring yet
yeah you got a point, i thought this was the official version, which had been leaked. Also the zinio mag reader now says needs to update only after one day
It has nothing to do with it being a leaked version. The 3.1 update does not bring Movies. They were just announced at the same time. As of now only the Zoom 3g has the movie update. The rest of us proles will just have to wait until ElGoog releases it.
Hi guys, may I suggest you all need to download the latest netflix update. Lag is gone, pixelated image is gone, just perfect now, I'm verry happy.
I'm not seeing an update available for Netflix.

I wish they allowed the ability to switch between closed captioning. I can do that when I watch on my desktop, but I cannot do that when I am viewing the video in an app.
I use my Tab 7.0 plus mainly for video streaming to my large screen TVs. I even canceled my sattelite TV it worked so well in Gingerbread or 3.2. I had CNN in one click, Animal Planet, PBS, etc. I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 through kies and the tablet took the upgrade with no errors. My unit is WiFi only 6210, US.
Now all my video streaming sites don't work. I get either a blank screen or a funny small blue box where the video should stream. I set up a chat with Samsung Support and they said that there is no Adobe Flash player for Android 4.0, so it's not their fault. I asked if I could downgrade back to 3.2 gingerbread and they said there was no way. As far as I'm concerned, this thing is a brick for me now.
Please! Does anyone know a way to use Adobe Flash on 4.0 or guide me on how to revert back to my old operating system (gingerbread 3.2) so I can continue to stream television sites? I'm not very computer literate and I'm very old.
Thanks for any help or advice.

You can still install Flash on it and it works fine... download this file to your tab and install it - http://www.sendspace.com/file/d43u2p
FYI, 3.2 is Honeycomb, not Gingerbread.

That did the trick. I already had Flash player 11.1 downloaded, but I didn't have it installed on Dolphin Browser after the upgrade. A little tinkering and I got it installed and working just fine. Thank you so much. I'm back in business.
God! I love this site. If I understood half of what you're all talking about, I'd love it even more.
Good morning,
I have a Asus Padfone 2 and I am very happy with it. However, there is an issue that I only have with this phone. When playing media (audio or video) the content stutters (starts/stops continuously). This problem arises with all apps except the native Google media player. Spotify, NFL GamePass, several radio apps all give this issue.
I read somewhere that this issue is resolved in Android 4.2, but my phone is still on version 4.1.1. I read online that the Android 4.2 update would be released in Q3 of 2013. Up to this day, I still have not had any update. Is there a way to push the update to my device somehow? Or is there a different solution to my issue?
Thanks in advance,
Steven
I have problems with M8 Amlogic tvbox recently bought from Geekbuying (and so far no response to emails requesting support - not good)
The unit looks well build and basic performance, speed, display etc is OK. I've flashed the latest firmware (quite easy). But, big but...
UK TV streaming doesn't work properly:
BBCi player app: sound, but no video (black screen)
4od app: plays downloaded videos, but streaming live content gets "can't play this video" error message
Eurosport player app: live content gets "can't play this video" error message
Can anyone shed a little light into what is wrong here please ??
is there a missing codec? or a missing app ?
thanks, I'd love to fix this - then the M8 will be a great performer - at the moment its pretty crap.
Not much of a response....

Response received from Geekbuying was basically,
"sorry you're having problems, there is nothing we can do, if the factory produce an update to flash we'll put it on the blog"
the request for return and refund for something not fit for purpose was ignored.
Here is one who won't be trading with Geekbuying again.

Hi,
Still the same, trying updated flash rom, but so far no improvement.
Happy to stick with it if the help is found to resolve the problem, I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems playing streaming video.

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same problem...
Try to install the update or re-install the ROM. I never has these problems before
Hi Sorry to hear your having problems
I have just bought the same OTT 4K TV BOX, Quad core, 2GB ram 8GB internal from amazon listed as fully loaded and rooted.
I can only speak for my box purchased sept 2014 and so far it works flawlessly... if you want UK live channels (i'm in uk anyway) google
for Mobdro.apk and install it to the device it works and stream a multitude of channels including all uk channels.
The included XBMC 13.1 works well and is preinstalled with all the popular video addons which auto update to fix dead links and non working
streams and 80% stream very well, yes some links are dead but thats the nature of the 3rd party apps put on these devices, the manufacture
and seller has NO control over these links etc.
I have taught myself how to completely reinstall the devices firmware and do a reinstall of apps and even the XBMC custom setup and again the
box works perfectly. To backup XBMC use USB SD Card pluggin 1.1.6 it's by far the quickest and best option to avoid problems.
My box has a startup logo saying Droidplayer.co.uk if yours is the same google them, go to their website where you can download the
DP app v2.1, put this on the device, uninstall XBMC and reinstall it via the app which will also redo the custom addons (big download though)
Early days for me but so far so good, box is well made with slightly skittish software here and there due to the 3rd party apps etc.
Provided remote is rubbish so have ordered a 3 in 1 air mouse keyboard remote.
Not much progress

Hi,
Not much progress really, I've flashed various upgrades (now on 7/22 firmware) with a little improvement; 1024p HD now works for playing videos (best with MXplayer so far) and BBCi player now works in HD, but no progress with Eurosport Player which refuses to play the live streaming data "cannot play this video" - yet it will play the videos from previous days. I guess either Eurosport use a different format for the live stream and the M8 is missing either a codec or some DRM data.
It is such a shame because my main use for a tv box is Eurosport player, then video quality overall is the best of any Android TV boxes I've tried, but the others all worked with Eurosport !
Does anyone have any clues ??

I hope you've managed to get this sorted by now. But I just got mine and had the exact same problem as you did. Reading this thread, and the response from @leezaal got me thinking about using the stuff from droidplayer.co.uk and sticking it on my box. So I tried it, and it works like a charm. Here's the link to get it working for anyone who's looking at this:
http://www.droidplayer.co.uk/blog/?p=351
So all in all, follow that link and you should be sorted, thanks to @leezaal and the fully loaded XBMC from that website is very useful.
Hi Willmott1992 and thanks for your offer of help, but it didn't.
I have lots more in XBMC (I guess this is "video underground"), but my subscribed Eurosport Player still won't / can't play live video stream and the problem only seems to exist with the M8 box.
Does anyone know what codecs / DRM files are required to enable the Eurosport Player app to function ?
Vega S89 wont play live stream on Eurosport player to. Subscription is ok, it works on other devices (Galaxy Tab p7500 with4.4.4, P6 and Xperia L.

Hi X1iGGVV,
Thank you for your response.
Do you (or anyone else) know why Eurosport Player won't play ?? This is what I'm trying to find out and hopefully find a fix.
I contacted Eurosport technical support and their reply was (as expected) 'Android TV box is not supported, only phone and tablet' - loosely translated as we don't want to know - funny because it works on my old Justop Droibox Lite tv box. Sadly they wouldn't answer the question what codecs are required for it to work.
If Eurosport player works on most android devices (including TV boxes) then it ought to work on a high spec. unit like the M8 ??
Hi!
I have try to get some help from Huawei P7 community, and instructions about to get colection of missing Codecs. It is about streaming codecs and compatibility with Mali-450 GP. P7 have the same graphics and there is a product that is made for Europian countrys. Hope to get some respons from the owners or developers for P7, just for the reason that is wrighte HW and tha I know that Eurosport Player working on P7. Specific Codecs have to be coped in the Vega box and in the directories that Eurosport Player looks for the codesc. I know tha this is a way looking backwords for Vega development just for that fokus is on 4K videos playing a lokal and not sreaming. I´ll not give upp, it will works!
On the other side I can undersend Eurosport Player support team that no help leaks from the team about hardware that is not fully compatible (codecs include) with europian market. It is not Eurosport team that have to fix it. It.s a developers of HW that have not think about something that is far away from China , Eurosport Player works from Europian IP networks and it is not posible for China developers to check upp every single app.
Best regards from Sweden
