[Q] NETFLIX

when i go to watch netflix movies on my gtab the website lets me click on the movie but wont play it. it does it on certain websites too to watch videos. any suggestions?

Netflix is using the Microsoft Silverlight plugin to play the movies in a browser. This is not available for Android.

Playon is supposed to be released for Andriod ..... it plays netflix ....that seems to be the closest, soon to be viable option

Android app supposed to come this century. Hopefully that will help our streaming woes.

If they ever do it that would be nice. I have Playon loaded on my server and using an app called upnplay I can access Playon, but so far have not been able to play anything. It tries, and then quits.

Hey man just use ice films (WWW.icefilms.info) , similar to Netflix. If u have cookies enabled u can save the shows/movies you want to see by clicking on the yellow star next to the title. I wrote a how to guide for it. I can't post links yet but I just wrote it yesterday. The thread is called, How to get icefilms to work on the g tab.
Hope this helps ya out.

how to watch movies on this tablet?

I have verizon as an isp. Well, I bought a movie and I can't watch it on my tablet. Verizon wants to install silverlight, but it's not compatible with this tablet. Does anyone have any input on this? THanks

What is the movie saved as? .m4v .mkv?
If you have the actual file on your device then it should open with something like BSPlayer. Bsplayer plays every file type that I know of. Free from the Google play store. If you are trying to stream from online and it is asking for a desktop windows plugin that is not available on android then I am afraid I do not know how you can play it.

Where did you buy the movie from?
You can watch movies from a number of places. The easiest is to purchase the movie from the Play Store then it will show up on your "Play Movies and . . " app. Then you can stream it over wifi or download it and watch it offline later.
Give us a bit more info and I'm sure we can figure it out.

Dice Player ftw. It has gone free, has hardware-decoding ability, nice interface and is good to battery, has gesture control.
(I like vPlayer for its gallery features, but the last time I actually used it, it didn't play as many files as Dice does -- I just browse to them with Total Commander and set Dice as the default app to open the respective file extension with -- tadaah!)
EDIT: I have lots of local files to play, so I didn't get into the streaming part others already pointed out -- I don't have enough experience with it.

Where did you get the movie? Sounds like you're trying to watch it through a web browser. My guess, you got it through some Verizon VOD service.

I bought it from the verizon site.

you have the option to either stream it, or download it. It would not let me download it because of drm problems. I'm running cleanrom 2.2. My wife has a stock tf300 tablet, not rooted, and she can play it on hers

I bought it from the verizon store,(vod).It's a drm problem. Like I said, my wife can play it on her tablet. Thanks for the input

Spotify via Google Cast on Android TV Devices

Here is how I got to work Spotify via vasting on my razer forge since even newest app would not detect it,new chromecasts and old ones are ok with it.
If you have amazon fire tv or fire tv stick or can use friends either device then all you need to do is log in with your amazon account and then extract spotify connect from fire stick or fire tv,then sideload it to your nexus player/shield/forge or sony android tv.
You also need to sideload amazon appstore (underground now) and log in with your account.
You will then be able to use spotify via casting from your phone tablet etc.
Take a look at my post on Razer Forums:

Enjoy!

it won't do much for you unless you can disable Amazon DRM. It will only work with my account or - your account
What I can suggest that you make amazon account,download their appstore and download the spotify connect to your device and then you will be registered (at least add click to cart and purchase it for free) then hit me up and I will post APK for you.
It will work this way.

Connect apk
Yes can you please post the spotify connect apk you pulled, I have amazon app store and purchased the app. I tried using the 0.0.6 version on my nexus player but i think it's too out of date. Thank you

why not use Spoticast in the first place?
Anyway, this is all annoying and those are just cheap workarounds. We need this to work directly from the official Spotify app without any tinkering. As far as I can see, the Android TV Google Cast functionality has now been degraded to something you could call Google Cast Light ...or Google Cast 2nd Class. As both, a Spotify Premium and an Android TV user I hate to say I'm disappointed, especially since e.g. Deezer has been working without issues on Android TV for ages. Either I've missed it or neither Google nor Spotify have mentioned Android TV compatibility at all in this case. This is the beginning of Google Cast fragmentation...

There is no link to the APK and your account. If they have an amazon account they can just install the underground, login, install spotify, open spotify (dont have to do anything, just open it) then on your phone\tablet\whatever, choose the Asus NexusPlayer.

Spotify Connect APK attached. Amazon Underground can be obtained from here.

works for one song and then fails. Songs play but no audio
amazon.com/Spotify-Connect/dp/B00N1XIY5Q/
Apparently upgraded. Do you have the apk for 0.2?

Why not just use the Spotify add-on in Kodi?

I´m also interested in latest APK.
Could someone please upload the file, I cannot download it "You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions. "

MX Player no longer 'compatible' with ANY amazon devices since last update

Since the latest Amazon app store release, MX player is no longer compatible with ANY amazon device. It looks like the minimum operating system for MX Player in the Amazon appstore is now 6.0? Amazon devices don't even have a version 6.0 yet. Fire OS is 5.x. I own quite a few amazon devices (Newest Kindle FIre 7, Fire TV, fire stick, Fire TV 2) and MX player doesn't list on ANY of them as available anymore since August 21, 2016.
Can we please get the minimum fixed so it can be installed on the latest amazon devices please?
Minimum Operating System: Android 6.0 is now listed in the amazon app store:
https://www.amazon.com/J2-Interacti...UTF8&qid=1473681936&sr=8-1&keywords=mx+player

Thanks for let us know, fixed apk will be uploaded soon.

oh man. Thank-you! Now maybe I can get my kids to stop yelling at me about their movies.

Will there be a pro version in the Amazon store ever? I'd like to purchase one. Just wondering.

I have some important videos saved on MX Player on my Kindle Fire. Does this mean I won't be able to access them anymore? Please let me know any possible way I can access these again. It keeps telling me to update but there's no button to update from in the store.
