Apps for Google Live Channels App - Nexus Player General

Hi Guys,
are their any other apps downloadable which can be used with the live channels app from google than:
Pluto TV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.pluto.android
HDHomeRunTV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silicondust.mg.upnp
Zatoo - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zattoo.player
Cumulus TV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.felkertech.n.cumulustv
The Weather Network -
InstaTV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keyitech.instatv.pro
I think the thread could also be a collection of all apps which support live channels.

ProgTV! If you have a Hauppage or similar card that connects an antenna into a computer, you can stream channels to your nexus player! Much cheaper than spending 200+ dollars on an HDHomerun

Hi sheikboy, prog TV isn't supporting the live channels app. I can't see any possibility to add it there.

I think this is a good idea since google does no tell you what is compatible with live channels.
Apps
The Weather Network, HDhomerun, pluto, and instaTV
The weather network and pluto are streaming and put channels directly into Live Channels and instaTV requires HDhomerun be installed.
Hope this helps. And looking forward to see if theres other apps out there.

I can share an example. I only have german tv stations in it and they are geoblocked, so it may not work for you:

Playlist import and xmltv EPG support is on the roadmap.

It forces close upon opening on my end!

Thx guys for your anticipation. The cumulus app doesn't work really well for me, but the app uses the live channels app and if the app is finished it could be a great app.

Hey, Cumulus dev here. I have fixed some stability issues and added playlist import capabilities. EPG support is sort of there but not fully integrated yet.

Live Channels Now Including Apps!

I just happened to update the pluto.tv app today. I happened to notice on the Leanback launcher that there was a "Live Channels" icon/banner. When I started "LIve Channels", it gave me the option to include pluto.tv as a source for channels! I looked at the Google I/O schedule and apparently this will be discussed this "feature" tomorrow. This gives me hope for the future of Android TV!

Awesome! Cord cutters rejoice.
Endgadget did a quick blurb about it. Looks like early content providers include: "AOL, Bloomberg, TED, The Huffington Post, Pluto, Vevo and European streaming video service Zattoo."
I wouldn't mind if Hulu, CBS News, & some of the other networks built on top of this platform...
I just tried it today with Pluto and I think it just blew my mind with what I suddenly realised was possible with this framework. It does turn a app into an almost TV watching like experience. Just need more apps to now take advantage of it.
Edit:
I notice I have Ted, Vevo and the Huffington Post but none of these are options to add to Live channels. Can't find Zattoo on the Nexus player even though I am in the UK and it has a troubleshooting page on their website.
Wasn't it like that before? not on nexus but on my forge I could select HDhomeRun View to select my source for live-tv channels.
I didn't see any update to Live Channels app I think it was like that already.
I love the overall concept but I hope they improve the stability of Live Channels. Right now Live Channel stutters when changing Pluto TV "Channels."
I am really tempted to pick up an HDHomeRun Extend so I can add real channels meshed with internet based channels.
In the ideal world, I would love to have SlingTV, CBSNews, WatchESPN, FoxSportsGo, & potentially other services like Hulu & USA integrate into live channels. This way, I have one channel "guide" to view all the "channels."

Installed Pluto on my Sony Bravia ATV and it then popped up a Streaming Channels Icon, however no video is displayed....it's so close but not quite for the Sony's will have to try some of the other apps listed.

Can you launch videos through the actual pluto app or do you not get any videos their either?
Videos played through the app work fine, just not in the channels icon.
I've heard that a new firmware is imminent for it, maybe that will be based on 5.1 and will fix my casting and this streaming channel problem.
Can the live channels app be ported to mobiles? Been looking for an epg that uses iplayer uktvplay itvhub etc so you can click whatevers on and it opens instead of having to look through all the afromentioned apps.

[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...

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

[APP][4.3+] StreamlineWatch - Find all your tv shows and movies in one app

Hello all,
StreamlineWatch is an app to watch all your favorite movies and tv shows from many streaming providers such as Netflix, HBO, Hulu but also free replays from abc, FOX, CBS and many others (as well as TV Everywhere if it happens you still have the cable) in one simple app.
This is more a new interface to replace all these apps than just a movie search engine to check if a movie that you would like to watch is available in one of your subscriptions.
How many times did you watch a movie or tv show because one of your friend or colleague recommended it to you ? StreamlineWatch allows you to recommend to your friends the content that you really liked but also check what they recommended to you.
Happy to hear any feedback !
Download: Google Play Store
Landing-Page: https://streamlinewatch.com/
Youtube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yFqOnaE8eU

I am trying to improve so any feedback would be greatly appreciated !

Yes exactly. In order to watch Netflix content you need to have a subscription to Netflix, same for HBO, Amazon Prime... If you don't have any streaming subscriptions, you can still view all the free replays that you could normally find on the app of abc, CBS, Comedy Central, Crackle...
The objective is to gather all your content in one app to get better recommendations and find what you actually already have access to (a friend discovered later with StreamlineWatch that he paid for a movie while it was actually available on his Amazon Prime subscription for free).

"This app is incompatible with all of your devices." LG G4 and Nexus 5 both running LineageOS 14.1. Located in the UK (Netflix is available at least). Not sure why they're incompatible, any idea?

Yes and no. I'm interested in a better option.
Suggestions:
Add Chromecast Support. Everyone wants to be able to cast it to their TV.
Add NBC and NBC Sports support
Many broadcast network apps (NBC, ABC, FOX, etc) have the ability to login through your cable subscription (DirecTV, Xfinity, Cox, etc). Once you login, you can view MUCH MUCH more content because you verified you pay a cable provider to view. Please add this capability.
Just please add support for other countries! Like Mexico, supported by services like Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime and Crackle. Thank you!

I'm new to using this app. Does it work in the United States. Because every time I cuts on it it's a black screen.
With the latest version ThopTV is really improved a lot, I think soon they will surpass other free IPTV apps.
