vTap - search and play unrestricted online videos (Youtube ect...) Excellent!!

A new startup company has come up with a great way to search and play online videos.
Download PPC version onto my Tytn and it works a treat!!
Try it from... http://www.vtap.com/

Cool, thanks.

Okay. This is cool.
- Has one of them "as you type" searchbars for video and wikipedia. Type in "kitten" and it shows in nanoseconds all the relative stuff about kittens.
- Really fast, as from software point and in downloading videos.
- Seems to have gazillion video sites.
- Plays videos really smooth. Has different quality settings and an audio only mode. (Tested with Wizard)
- Background and playlist mode for video downloading. Good if you're using cellular networks.
It does have few bugs and it doesn't really have a way to list videos like "top 10 from youtube", instead it shows a list of some news, sports and political stuff on the search page by default.
They also seem to be planning a java version for the functionally challenged phones

I recorded a quick overview of the software

Btw, sorry for the quality. I didnt know that the youtube-online recorder does that.

aside from just playing "unrestricted" video, this is pretty brilliant

Brilliant piece of software.
Just one thing I noted immediately after its installation.
1) I tried to install this on the storage card. But it actually installed in the programs folder of the main memory.
2) After I installed this software I keep getting the sound I have associated with the event "Connection Established" ever few seconds though actual connection does not take place. As a fix I have disabled any sound for the event "Connection Established". Anyone else noticed this. My device is the HTC Touch.

I agree, would really like to filter the results by site (i.e YouTube only).
Since it downloads the videos in order to play them - I nice feature would be to beable to save the videos for later repeat views.

Pretty good app so far.

One way to filter clips in vTap
search youtube and select youtube group and then do search...pretty cool... they are doing search with in the group....

I had the same problem... Is there any workaround to get it installed to storage card instead?

Wow, very nice, love how it shows all videos, organizes some into videos, shows all video sites, etc and is VERY fast in both displaying videos and information as well as buffering and showing the actual video.

Storage Card problem.

I have contacted the support for vTap, and they have indicated that a fix should be available shortly.

Great news aalvino!, thanks

Works Great on my Touch!

Btw... there's a new version now that supports installation to storage card

great app to make youtube and other video sites work on a Prophet. But, I might just be dumb, I can´t find a seekbar or a similar tool that would allow me to jump to a specific part of the video I´m watching.
Is there something of the sort in vTap?

is there a way to fast forward or rewind the video in vtap? the arrows arent highlighted...

Very cool app but not at all new. I had a version of this installed almost a year ago..never did understand why people were having so much trouble with youtube videos when vtap played them just fine from the beginning. Good application

This is nothing new at all.
Vtap has been around for quite some time, i don't know why you have a new thread started for it and calling it a startup complany? I have had this installed since last year!

The post actually started last year...

[Mirror][app] TinyShark 3.1.5 (Groveshark client)

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.

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!

[APP][3.1+][v1.1.11] Cast To UPnP/DLNA for GMusic

EDIT July 1st 2014: NO LONGER WORKS SINCE GOOGLE MUSIC v5.6.1608P.1252217. Works with older versions.
See this post for details and possible alternatives.
Download APK
Cast To UPnP/DLNA for GMusic is a new app that let you stream your cloud Google Music uploaded by yourself and from the All Access subscription (including Radio) to any UPnP / DLNA device:
XBMC
DLNA TVs
PCs (WMP, foobar2000, ...)
WDTV Live
Xbox 360 (including when playing games)
PS3 (playback must be started from the PS3)
Sonos
Android (with BubbleUPnP)
various hifi gear from Denon, Pioneer, Onkyo
...many more devices!
Google Play listing
Youtube video streaming to Xbox 360 and XBMC
UPnP /DLNA devices appear as Chromecast devices that can be selected in the Google Play Music app for playback and control.
You heard it right: you use the Google Play Music app to play to mentionned devices.
If it doesn't work with your UPnP / DLNA device please send me a log file (to bubblesoftproducts at gmail.com), following these instructions:
IMPORTANT: in Google Play Music, make sure no device is connected (disconnect it if necessary with the cast icon). Then Swipe the Google Music Play app from the recent apps list (to force it to reload when it will be launched next)
launch Cast To UPnP/DLNA For GMusic
enable "logging to file" in Menu > About
IMPORTANT: Exit the app using menu > Exit
restart Cast To UPnP/DLNA For GMusic
start the Google Play Music app, select the problematic device, play something and trigger the problem
exit Cast To UPnP/DLNA For GMusic (menu > Exit)
connect your phone to your PC or MAC and mail me the file /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.upnpcast/log.txt found on the SD Card

OMG if this works, it will be awesome. Just installing now.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

is ps3 supported?

Seems to timeout an awful lot. Every few songs I have to restart the app because GMusic can't see the target. I suspect it occurs when the tablet drops off the WiFi.

just tried this with nexus 7 2013 and the Cast icon didn't show up when you click Start to launch. Kill all running process and restarted but still the same.

You need some UPnP / DLNA devices to play to on your network for the icon to show up. What device did you expect to see ?

Anything really .. xmbc, PS3, google tv, plex, windows media center .. did you test with the current version of Google play music? (mine is listed as v5.1.1109K.772337)
EDIT:
Reinstalling xmbc, then restart seems to do the trick. Will have to test the rest again later.

PS3: not remotelly controllable so does not qualify
Google TV: it won't show up magically if you do not install an UPnP AV renderer app on it
plex: probably like xbmc, require to enable it for remote control
WMC: If it is like WMP, probably need to enable it for remote control

Thanks for creating and making available your app and for fixing the 401 Unauthorised error so quickly. Prior to your app I'd been using an Airplay application, but your app is more what I had been looking for.
There's still another issue that causes Google Music to occasionally stop detecting my DLNA device. It is usually resolved by making your app active again, and does not require restarting of either apps, and typically occurs only between songs.

Try v1.0.3 which should be available on Google Play soon and let me know if you still have the problem.

Thanks for this! Any chance of getting a similar app for other Google Cast apps (Netflix, YouTube)?

Wow easy setup and works flawlessly with my xbox and samsung tv as well. The gui the xbox provides is much better than samsung's allshare play gui however. Thanks for this! Buying the full version now!

v1.0.4 will be shortly available on Google Play.
- fixed app not working anymore on Android 4.0.x
- fixed some UPnP/DLNA devices crashing Google Play Music (some LG TV in particular)
- fixed rare crash when pressing the play/pause button in Google Play Music
- fixed volume issues on some problematic devices (Yamaha)
- fixed track advance possibly not working on some Onkyo devices
- updated Help

Nice app! This gives my Raspberry Pi _the_ feature I was missing! (Too bad my Chromecast is already on its way - well, one can't have too many toys, right?)
There's however one issue I came across: I bought the unlocker on my phone. However it seems I cannot get the software unlocked on my other phone and on my tablet. On all those devices (except my "1st" phone says that I should buy the unlocker. But even if I press the "buy" button, Google tells me that I already got that item (and does not even give me the option to pay again).
Could you, dear folks at Bubblesoft, implement an "unlock checker" routine?
Thanks!

On your other devices than you phone, make sure to download the app in Google Play using the Google Account that you used for the purchase (in Google Play : Settings > Account). You can revert the account once you've downloaded the app.

oooo, you are an arm twister. i have the bubble server paid for but this app has a seemless way of playing back things from the app itself.
You know what would really be cool if you could? if you have your bubble server be able to handle playbacks from other apps as well and play to the upnp capable players. of course also maybe including this seemless playback in bubble server would be cool too, but yeah.

Is it possible to create an app for movies or YouTube or other apps, too?

volume issue
App works great, a few hiccups here and there but not too often.
One bug I've noticed though is the volume selected doesn't seem to "hold" between songs. I'll turn it down to about 50% and when the next song begins it'll jump back up to 100% while the slider still remains at 50%.
Happens on both my Nexus 4 and 7 (2013) casting to my 360.

Believe it or not but this is a nasty WTF Xbox360 bug that resets volume to 100% between songs (this is the hardware reseting vol to 100%: from the app's POV, volume hasn't changed).
The app workarounds this bug, but it looks like it doesn't work for you. The workaround uses a non-scientific determined waiting time value between 2 commands that seems to work on most Xbox. I will increase it at little hoping that it will fix it on your Xbox.

Have had a few issues using this app but works great 90% of the time.
I'm currently experiencing a drop in connection between songs or when I skip a track. This only happens when I play though my Panasonic VT30.

Unfortunately this plug-in can't be added to the Play Store (for the obvious "Google will kick it in mere minutes" reason), which means we can't take advantage of the Play Store features.
Would there be any payment method other than PayPal that'd work for you?

I am chinese user I guess what I can do is use alipay(you even may not hear about that...).
beside that, i would like suggest add a zombie app in appstore and with payment, and update through xdalab, or i pm you play gift card.

Looks promising! But it seems like I am to stupid to find the download button.
EDIT: The playlist I created was for some reason a mixed, not a YouTube only playlist. Downloading a playlist created with YouTube directly works.

Is there a way to import a playlist already on my YouTube account? I can't seem to find that option.

:crying:

How can i get this app?

thank you !!!!

Hello! This is a great plugin but I have a problem: whenever I enter a search query and I am on cellular data connection it just keeps searching, offering no results. Is anybody experiencing the same?

i wish it has been free,would like to try it out.(I am not using any credit cards personally that's why ) Btw i checked the spotify plugin,in spotify i login using my facebook account and do not worry about the user name and pass.is there any way to login to spotify reading from system settings or any button to login to spotify using facebook or google acc?i mean for faster login option.Also I would like to contribute for translation to Turkish if you can send me the text fields to be translated.I don't understand the github database thing.

Great app
But still some Playback error's happen.
Btw, will this app get updated or does the devolopment stopped?

Maaaan why £2.00? I don't wanna pay for the privilege of having a YouTube plugin for a music player.

It doesn't work for me (see screenshot)... After clicking play button I can see the play button circling (around the pause icon) but never started playing.. Am i missing to configure anything in particular..

Is this plugin dead now? Looks like it hasn't been updated in a while.

It keeps spinning.

Download???
From where can I download it?

[APP] TubeCast - Youtube to Chromecast Audio

Hello everyone,
As you all know youtube app on android and ios does not support Chromecast audio, so I've developed a new android app that let users cast youtube to Chromecast Audio. It finds only audio track, so you do not need to worry about network traffic, as the audio track size is usually much smaller than the video size. My intension is to support more websites, currently it works best for youtube.
Key features:
- Detect music audio tracks from the websites you visit and cast to Chromecast
- Support queue, so you can add many items once and let Chromecast do the rest
- Support repeat playback, repeat all/one/none/shuffle
- Support playback and volume controls
- Built-in browser with multi-tabs
- If websites contain both video and audio, this app will select only audio track, so you do not need to worry about network traffic, as the audio track size is usually much smaller than the video size, which is very efficient for Chromecast Audio.
The app works pretty the same way as Google Youtube App, you click on a video, it shows a dialog and let you choose to play or add video to queue, and it also allows you to move the queue items up and down, and play the queue on repeat (repeat none, all, one or shuffle).
It can also with normal Chromecast video, of course, but you only see thumbnail on the tv screen, and the music, not the video, as I already mentioned - only audio.
Here's the video demo on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEGkoC6LPp0
And the app on PlayStore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibimobilelab.castwebaudio

Great job!
What I miss:
-Add some way to store playlists
-Add whole playlist from YouTube (This could be too traffic intense and lead to banning the app that is already in gray area...)

Hi,
The idea is to create playlists with your youtube account and I will implement the feature to add the whole playlist to the queue. I will try to do so in upcoming releases.
I know it's risky to do things with youtube, but how do you know it's in gray area?

If you are asking yourself: "Is this legal?", then it is in the gray area.
You are providing easy way to get content without paying (YouTube red or ads).
-the playlist feature will be better if it works with playlists in general not just ones from your account.
-storage is local.
Because:
1.spares all the queries you have to make for each song in playlist every time you open it(there are playlists with hundreds of songs).
2.privacy concerns

Well, I think gg should provide youtube support for Chromecast Audio for free, just like they do with normal Chromecast, since they do not send ads to stream in normal Chromecast as well.
This app allows users to cast to chromecast audio only, not anywhere else, and not play locally or download videos/audios which I think will make it more "legal". So just let's wait and see
About storing the playlists, since I'm not using youtube API, and youtube is the only one of many websites this app supports, the video/audio links that I can get live only for a short time (approx. 1 day) then they will get expired, so storing playlists is not an option for me unfortunately. The official youtube app also does not store playlists locally.

Then make sure to not throw hundreds of requests at once when parsing the playlist.
And one small thing: the "playing" icon (the three animated bars) is annoying (at least for me). You have made plain simple UI keep it that way and just put the simple triangle thing without animation ( ▶ ). It's an Unicode symbol. (one less image to take care of).

Ok, thank you, I'll keep this in mind

This is GREAT! I purchased Chromecast audio only to find out I can't cast from Youtube app. Such a stupid move from Google

Perfect

1. is there a way you implement playing playlists from Youtube?
2. is there a way we can donate to you, as you're a life saver bro!

Hi,
Thank you for your offer, unfortunately this app development is suspended and I've removed it from playstore. Now I'm working on an replacement - Amaze Browser, it can also cast youtube to chromecast audio, however the queue function is not yet added, I do plan to add it in future releases.

It would be a heavy request to google server and I avoid doing this to protect the app in play store . In fact I removed most of the things with YouTube - download, background playing, only leave the Chromecast feature.
Pls keep in mind that the queue feature is not yet added in Amaze Browser, continue to use Tubo cast if you need this feature.

Tubo Cast was a great app so far!!! It would be great if you publish a hacked version out of the Play Store... I'd be glad to donate to you! Youtube playlist support is a must in my opinion... it'd be a killer feature for sure!
Maybe you could publish it on the Play Store "as is", and let we download an unofficial plugin that enables that feature!
Probably I'm only dreaming...

Hi, I cannot promise the playlist feature, what I have right now is a new version of tubo cast with the fix for the disconnection issue, I can upload it here.
Do you encounter the disconnection issue by the way?

Mh... I'm a new Chromecast Audio user, since I bought it last week, anyway, I tried several way to cast youtube contents to that thing... and your app (I found it somewhere around the web after reading this post) is the best solution because it doesn't need a constant stream between phone and chromecast. It'd be absolutely perfect with playlist support... and I mean perfect indeed!
I didn't have disconnection issue till now... I'm having more issues with apps like Deezer, just to say, because it randomly disconnects, starting to play the sound from my phone's speaker...
By the way "I can't promise" means "no" or "maybe"!

Means " no" for now
If you encounter the disconnection issue, follow the workaround mentioned in the home page to solve it

Again we published it to playstore, and also added premium verion.
Change log:
- Upgraded browser, added startpage, bookmark, history, search suggestion
- Use wifi wakelock to prevent disconnection issue
- Upgraded to more stable version of Google Cast API
- Added premium version

1.What is premium? Just supporting your efforts or something else? One can't really understand from changelog/app.
2.Is there a typo in the name? I see now TubCast instead of the previous TubeCast.
3.What is the difference to the other browser app that you are developing.
4.Is there a list of supported sites?
5.Any chance that vbox7.com can get into the list of point 4?
6.Youtube playlist support is not on the table anymore?
Thanks for update.

regarding your question:
1/ Yes premium is to add a little support for the development
2/ Tubecast is the name in playstore, in the app I made a tupo name Tubcast which is funny
3/ It supports queue, the other browser does not yet support queue, this one focuses on chromecast audio and shows popup dialog directly when it finds audio links, this app is also more lightweight and removed part of the UI in compare to another browser,
and the UI is more close to the youtube app
4/ It supports most of the sites except flash websites
5/ Will need to check with vbox7.com
6/ You still need to add songs one by one, adding the whole youtube playlist is not possible
