ICS Amazon Mp3 problem

I'm running gedeROM 5/13 and every time i try to sign in on the amazon mp3 app in order to get my music from the cloud, I get "failed due to network error. Retry when you are connected to the internet" But I am definitely connected to the internet, anybody else have this problem?

Yes, I just tried (using the same ROM) and I am having the same issue too...

How many devices do you have authorized in amazon account? I get log in errors whenever I have to many devices (every time you flash a rom a new device is added) Try deleting some of them and see if you can log in.

Same here...
I get the same message. gedeRom v1.35, three devices registered on my Amazon account. Not too big of a deal as I don't use Amazon music all that often, but I sort of like everything to work properly.

I just figured out that you don't need the MP3 app. If you go to Amazon's website through your browser, you can access your cloud drive from there. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!

The new ROM that comes with the #11 kernel has it working again, FYI.

I installed the latest gedeRom 5/27 and still get the same error. It gives me the error when I try to go to the cloud player or purchase music from within the app and it asks me to login. I can still play music that is on my device from within the app. Also I know it's not the internet connection because I can stream previews of songs from the store within the app, just can't buy them.
Also I'm not having luck with flash and the cloud player from within the following browsers.
"Browser" - Will play but can't download to device
Dolphin HD- Page displays, but won't play or download
Chrome Beta- Page displays, but won't play or download
Opera Mobile- Won't even display the cloud player page
Firefox- Page displays, but won't play or download
I am still loving this rom and ics, but it would be that much better if I could get the Amazon MP3 app working.

I'm on 5/27 gedeROM right now, and the cloud player is finally working for me, I have no idea why it wouldn't work for you. Flash only works on the stock browser, I believe adobe said last year that they are no longer supporting mobile flash (so browsers like chrome beta won't have flash).

Actually, I think most browsers on ICS will support flash (Dolphin, Firefox, and Opera anyway). Newer ones, like Chrome beta will not.

Must be something in my twrp backup, just did a clean install of gedeRom 5-27 and first thing installed Amazon MP3 from market and it works. Then I ran restore in TWRP and started getting the error again. My backup didn't even include Amazon MP3 but obviously something in the backup is messing it up.
Oh well I will just abandon the recovery and install apps 1 by 1 from Titanium and the market. I'm just glad it's working.

what's causing you to have to restore your backups?

Got it working, I was an idiot and had messed with "autostarts".

How to Download Google access music and thoughts!

So you may have Google access music as many of us do. Wouldn't it be great to be able to download Google access music in 320 KBS straight to your computer and not have any complications... If only if only...
But wait! Its possible!
All you need it Google access and you're good to go. Simply go onto your computer, and go to a website called songspout.com
There you will download the application and run it. Stream a Google access track and look at the bottom of the screen. It may take about 10 seconds or so but you may see a little Download looking button where you can download the track you are currently steaming. After that, go to your music and there it is! And if you don't believe its in 320 KBS then just right click on it, properties, details and there ya go. This is wonderful.
Unfortunately, you can only download 5 songs at a time before you're prompted to buy it for 9.99. What are peoples thoughts on this?? Please try it first before giving your thoughts.

Why?
Forgive me if I sound stupid, but since Google Play offers the ability to download any of the songs that you previously uploaded to Google Play, as well as any song you purchased from Google Play, isn't this unnecessary?

Well actually, the google music app only stores a cache of a song. This allows you to do as you well with it such as put it on iTunes for use with an iPhone or iPod or the sort. Or, you can reupload it to google play. What I do is upload it to iTunes and then use winamp to sync it to my device's external SD card where I can play my music in whatever music app of my choice and not just the Google music app. Basically, for those who don't see a benefit to this, you are paying a monthly service plus a one time 9.99 fee for unlimited legal music downloads.

Your missing the point, this software allows you to permanently download (at 320kbps) unlimited music from google's enormous 20mil+ song library. Songs that you don't currently have in your library (purchased or otherwise), but only if you have a current all access subscription. This software is a no-brainer as you get unlimited high quality music.

Anyone else tried this out yet? found a YouTube of this app, the elevator music is pretty lame but it shows the functionality none the less.

I tried it. Didn't buy it yet

I ended up grabbing this up to for $10 too... but wont be canceling my all access pass anytime soon! Actually its the only reason I have not canceled and as long as I can save songs like this I won't cancel.

Android Version
Is there an App for android that will do this?

Song Spout Support is GONE
I just purchased Song Spout yesterday. It worked for 24 hours and then asked me to purchase again. I have tried to contact the developer at his support email and his billing email and have received a bounce back on each address. I have also tried to contact his billing web page but it just times out. I think song spout is dead. I wouldn't recommend anyone spending the money unless you can contact the developer first. Looks to me like he closed shop. I hope we get some feedback from the developer or get an alternative solution.

yes, today it isn't working, that's correct. Also the Website is somehow not working properly (php).
I have also contacted them earlier this morning, no reply yet. But to me the email did not bounce!
I contacted them twice earlier already, because of an issue that some songs are not being downloaded, but never got a reply. So the support is NOT existant.
Anyway, maybe it's just a temporary issue, and they have just to restart their webserver and database, and it will work again then. Let's hope so.
I am wondering how that application works, it seems that the Google Play Music stream is done using flash, and somehow that Soungspout managed to save it removing the DRM.

Song Spout Up and Running
Song Spout is back up and running. I received an email from support that there were server issues. I have tested it this morning and all is well. This is great software and I am really glad it is back online.

I use the software regularly and works great. I am in the US. I know sometimes there are country restrictions so anyone outside of the US that are looking for specific tracks only available here, let me know.

Songspout support
I bought Song spout in Oct 2013. It worked great until about 2-3 weeks ago. Now I can't download most songs.
Emailed support, but my emails are returning error messages - the developer may be MIA.
It wasn't a ton of money, but I'm still disappointed that we can't get basic support after such a recent purchase.
Anybody know how to reach the developer?
-A

Works great!
Bought today, works perfectly. Although you have to keep an eye on it as it can get stuck on some songs.

Not "perfectly"

Well, it's not working "perfectly" if it gets stuck on some songs.
But I agree it still works pretty well most of the time.
The getting stuck part, though, is an issue I would have liked some feedback on from the developer.
Meanwhile, I've been using MusicMate on my android. It is a major update to the old Cloud Music Importer, and works very well. Doesn't get stuck. Also costs less than Song Spout. I import those files straight into Audipo so I can slow down and loop portions for guitar practice.
Still, wondering the Song Spout developer is still around and supporting the product. I feel that as long as he's taking the money, he ought to reply to support emails.

Yeah I couldn't get any reply from the developer, I only found I had this sticking problem when I was trying to download non all access files.
Just limiting it to songs added from all access it worked great. Didn't know about Music Mate that works great aswell.

It's not working now
It was working pretty well but now it's impossible to search the songs that you would like to download. I don't know what's the problem but I tried to contact support and I don't have any response. :crying:

The latest update in Song Spout fixed all the issues that I was having even got a reply e-mail today.
Does Music Mate allow you to download songs from the all access catalog like Song Spout? Or does it just grab the songs that are in your library? I would check it out but my acer is acting foolish atm.

Plex Causing Microphone and Backdrop Problems on my Nexus Player

I just recently got a Nexus Player and one of the first things I did was install Plex. I was having two big problems with my Nexus Player though, both of which started immediately.
First, the microphone on my remote controller was really malfunctioning. It would almost always fail, either only recognizing the first word or two I said, or not recognizing any of them at all. It was really bad. At first, I thought I had a defective device.
Second, the Backdrop (i.e., the "screen saver") would never activate automatically on its own after the pre-set time. If I went into settings, I could manually start it, but it wouldn't start on its own - my Nexus Player would just sit at the home screen indefinitely.
While troubleshooting, I finally got around to uninstalling Plex, and to my surprise, both of the above problems went away. The microphone now works almost flawlessly, as it should, and Backdrop is activating fine. I put Plex back on, and the problems both came back. I then uninstalled it again, and voila, both problems went away.
Has anyone else noticed either of these issues? Unfortunately they're forcing me to leave Plex uninstalled from my Nexus Player for the time being.

I believe it is known that the current build of Plex is buggy as all hell. Use kodi beta 1 or the recompiled 13.2 in the xbmc thread for now instead.

Thanks! I used to be a hardcore XBMC user back in the day before I started using Plex for its Chromecast support. I'm going to check it out.

Make sure to specifically use Kodi Beta 1 or the recompiled 13.2. All of the other versions I've tried crash during video play back.
Plex is awesome, I still use the server so I can have my library synchronized. That said, you can use PleXBMC and the Amber skin to essentially make XBMC/Kodi into a free Plex app. The $150 price tag for lifetime is what keeps me from fully committing to Plex.

Have you tried clearing playstore data and rebooting? Also make sure you have sufficient storage left on android data partation.

Hmm, nothing in particular comes to mind, but I did find this related Google forum thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/GzAJgihvQpo
That and, wat warvevo said.

I've been hunting around for answers since I've been getting this same Google Play -8 error since I reinstalled my ROM. Previously, I'd had MX and MX Pro both installed - great for playing music behind podcasts and audiobooks using the multiple instances! Now when I have one installed, Google Play goes to install the other and throws this code. As the workaround seems to be to install an older version first and then let Google Play auto-update it - which is what happened before, I'd installed the then-current MX version which Google Play later updated automatically - it would seem that the new MX Player updates are having difficulty avoiding conflict with MX Pro. I can only seem to get one or the other installed at a time.

That's exactly what I found. Had both players installed and suddenly had problems even though they had been working fine in the past. Deleted one of players and then it worked fine. Thank you for your reply.

Hulu not playing

On my other phones I'm able to play videos thru Hulu just fine. But on the mate 9 it just shows a blank screen forever. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app still doesn't work. It will still let me stream videos to my Chromecast though

I've had exactly the same problems. I've written a comment to the developers through the play store. You should as well. More people that write more likely we get a fix

Hulu works just fine on my Chinese variant 6gb/128. Although I downloaded my hulu through the amazon store. Maybe uninstall the one from play store and try installing the version through the amazon underground app?

I tried downloading thru Amazon app still has the same problem. I'm going to try one more thing tomorrow downloading the app and side loading it. Hopefully that works
