We have a gym with Technogym Equipment and are located in the US. We have been asking for Technogym to add the US Streaming APPs like Youtube TV, Hulu, Sling TV, etc to their APP Store. To date they have not done that. Their IPTV and TV APP do not work well in our location. As a European company they have not made US APPs their priority.
Unity APP and Hardware is an Android Tablet device with Android 5. The Technogym APP store has Netflix and Youtube. They work fine.
Is there anyone on the forum that has experience with the Technogym Hardware and done any side loading of APPs? How would we go about loading Youtube TV? What issues if any would we run in to with the account data?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Wondering if I can get some general help, I know the google TV is american only but I like to have some fun as well.
First, I can't download the google TV Remote app on my samsung galaxy i9000, I've tired downloading an .apk but it just didn't work, any suggestion or how to guides on this.
The Google TV works better than I first though it would in canada I can control my PVR some what and I faked an american comcast zip code and the search feature works some what but of course the programming and channel numbers for comcast don't match my Shaw Cable account, is there any way around that, in the settings I noticed it was pulling that info from some file, any idea how to trick it?
Also I am quite disappointed with the way I can't play almost any media files on my computer, the closest I have come is using my playon media service and the m.playon.tv with my lan on the google chrome but its so bad, was getting some Hulu access if I was running my VPN but I kept getting time out errors, worked fine on my phone browser tho. Any suggestions or other programs or ways?
Forgot to add, I am using the Logitech Revue
Thanks
Dave
Bump!/Update
Very much thanks to BluechipJ for sending me the google TV app, worked out great.
So more of the reading I've done seems that this box just doesn't support local media files very well, I've tired a few media servers,
TVersity worked somewhat good, some play back on all files but still couldn't get a great all around experience.
Playon which has been my main media server works the best so far, but only on the mobile side, if you use the browser and go to m.playon.tv and have it setup on your computer you get access to hulu (with VPN) and all your media. Interface is not very good on the m.playon side but it works. Still having problems getting complete hulu playback and have issues with larger MKV files but I had those issues on the PS3 so still have to figure out whats causing it.
If anyone has any other suggestions or experience I'd like to hear some more.
Bump/Update
Just wanted to do one more and see if anyone else had any suggestions, after more reading and trying out some new things finding Twonky is a good media server pick, for both the google tv and your phone.
Whats great about Twonky if they have your Twonky Manger on the computer which Logitech revue will recognize and mainly works in logitech media player, MKV still an issue if you have the right audio code it would work, I've switch to downloading MP4 files as I can still get good quality and it works well.
Also there is Twonky mobile for your phone, works well with the logitech revue as you can play videos music and pictures right from your phone to the TV, the Beam option doesn't work to my knowledge but isn't a big deal to me.
I'm sure lots of people know about Twonky already but it was new to me and worked very well with my Galaxy S and Logitech revue and seems to be a good system, the app is free but Twonky Manger is $20 I think, also works great with a PS3 system as well.
Hope to get some other suggestions or Ideas, kinda weird updating my posts all the time.
In the Markets, I see my cable provider offers streaming video via App to iPad but still limits the Android app to being little more than TV Guide + DVR remote (ugh). HBO & Cinemax however have apps that allow streaming to handsets.
Problem is, they only support Android 2.1 to 2.3! Has anyone tried installing them on a 2.x phone, fiddling with the manifest, and copying over the .apk's to a TF?
I noticed in Gallery I could play videos and pictures on my TV, which was awesome because it was wireless. But how do I, if it's possible, just show the whole phone on the TV. Or if not the whole phone, apps like emulators.
You can guess my main goal would be to play the amazing n64oid on my bigscreen, but having the ability to steam anything to the tv would be amazing. Note: this is without the need of adapters/dongles. Since it works for gallery I assume there is a way to do it with the phone or other apps.
Thanks!
Edit: Apparently it's called Wifi Direct and it is not enabled on our phones, yet.
Hi- I don't seem to have the two apps that Motorola lists on their support site that can be used to stream via DLNA, Media Share and the DLNA app itself. I recently successfully rooted the phone so I could remove some of the factory bloat, but I know I did not remove either of those apps. Any idea what gives? I am running 4.0.4; was on with Moto tech support and he suggested wiping the partition (factory reset?), but I am leery of doing this while rooted. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. TIA!

In ICS the DLNA apps are integrated to the system apps, check out the music app and press the menu button, it should show an option to play on another device.

OK, when I open My Music, I can scan for DLNA servers (which my phone finds-my PC running Plex, and my wife's laptop), but not my Pioneer receiver, which is DLNA compliant. I assume this because it is a client device. So, how can I stream from my phone to my receiver? Are there apps that can do this directly, or do they all have to go through a server? I have several music players {Poweramp, Winamp, JetAudio), but none of them offer the ability to stream to a DLNA device. Many thanks.
BubbleUPnP does what you are looking for. It can read files from any server (including local files), and play on any compliant renderer (works with my Smart TV). Also, I found the app Twonky to be pretty neat - you can play videos from video sites (e.g., YouTube and Vimeo) on compliant receivers.

Thanks. I'll give both a try. Thinking about it, I really can't see a scenario where I'd want to play from my phone to my receiver if I wasn't at home, so I guess it doesn't matter if my PC gets involved as the server. I just wanted to see if I could work it just between my phone and receiver.
With Localcast I can play local video files from my android tablet to my Sony bluray, but I cannot play Kodi addon streams. Tried with multiple addons, eg. Exodus, SALTS, cCloud, Icefilms and no luck. I often have problems playing certain streams on the tablet itself (which I am willing to put up with, hey it's free!), but even when I find a reliable one there, I cannot get it to cast to my player.
Probing around, I thought this had to do with some streams including metadata. So trying it with Icefilms, which has the option to remove the metadata, it still doesn't seem to work. Can someone help with this? I have seen it done numerous times with localcast using playercorefactory.xml file and the like. I even get an icon on my target screen after I select that player in Localcast. I know it is linked on some level too, because of this and the fact that I don't seem to have a problem casting local video files.
Am I chasing a losing proposition here? Is this related to the free version of Localcast? I would be happy to purchase an app instead of using a free one if I could guarantee it would work but I just don't know. Are the streamers themselves clamping down on this kind of thing? If so, are there ways around that? I believe I have the latest build of Kodi and these addons, but I wont waste my time if that is what is happening, and there is no way around it.
Hi
Kodi can`t easily cast its content to another device , more settings and different apps are required , search on Google "Kodi cast to TV" , you may need a Chromecast device as well
