Hy you can try this one http://ffmpeg4pocketpc.org .
Install libtest and put your stream url and then Connect. When it works the other sofware have a problem. If it isnt work your device have a problem!
Greatz
Getting a custom rom on your phone might speed things up a bit as well.
we have lots of roms available here.
just find your phone section.
Thanks
mccoffein thanks for that tool i will try and report back.
And dothem actually iam using custom rom only wm 6.5.1 build 23502 com5.
Hope that ffmpeg works.
Hi Folks
I just got my G-tab (yeah !!.. love it) ... did my homework and loaded a few diff roms .. using CWM - Harmony, TNT Lite 4.3 .. and now 4.4.
So far I believe I like this ROM the best ... i've got it about where I want it in terms of functionality .. with a couple of exceptions.
I loaded it with 4.4 the 1st time round and downloaded tons of apps to test it out and see what i liked and didn't like.
App store worked right off the bat... which is very cool.
ES Explorer (a must)
Tested movies - and some worked with ES Video Player only .. some
only worked with Rockplayer .. seems like codec related to me.
However, here's my issue...
I was testing with a vid.. got it working with say .. Rockplayer.
I reloaded ROM TNT4.4 to make it a clean install (using the following technique http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000 ) .. so far so good...all is back to normal. Right? Well not quite.
What worked before (in terms of vid playback).. no longer plays audio. Vids playing fine.. and i increased my video apps to
Double Twist
ES
MOBOplayer
RockPlayer
SummerPlayer
None play audio.. Odd i know.. all other audio is working.. music.. other vids..
Just wondering if there's a tweak i can do that anyone can think of.
Thanx for all your awesome work.. it provides tons of help to all .

On one rom, either tnt or vegan i had to plug then unplug headphones then sound works.
Found the solution - it was the Rock Player I downloaded the 2nd time around that was the issue. Removed and installed 1.6.3 .. all good. Still hit n miss for some vids depending on type (mpeg,mkv,avi..etc) so I have to try diff players at times. What they need is a VLC Media Player App (which i believe is in the works).. hopefully they'll enable streaming in this version as well.
Hope this helps..

It's not so much the container (AVI / MKV / MP4) as much as the audio codec. Some may not work properly. I haven't compiled a list but things like DTS may not work (off the top of my head). Obviously anything MP3 based will.
Not able to play m4v audio also, just so you know. The video plays though.
So when using Playon Mobile app, I get a ton of audio sync issues no matter what type of video I watch.
PlayOn uses Flash which I have installed and uninstalled a couple of times. When I do a search for the error I see people saying Flash 10.3 is not supported on the Transformer (although why it installs if it is not supported is beyond me ;P).
I have a pending tech support request in with PlayOn but figured if anyone knows if solution to this issue exists, it would be people on THIS forum.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : Oops...some extra info I am not sure if it is needed.
- Stock not rooted (3.2)
- B60 tablet version
- WiFi for streaming (25mb FIOS)
Ask if anyone needs more info.
Just thought I would update my own post with what a PlayOn rep emailed me today.
The video and audio are played by the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app. In
other words, your PS3 is playing the video and audio correctly as it is
streamed, but the Adobe Flash app is failing to do that.
The audio/video syncing issue is very common on Honeycomb devices. It's
pretty common for android in general. When it happens you have to
completely remove the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app, reboot the tablet,
and then reinstall the app from the Android Market. That should reset a
now correctly installed Adobe Flash app.
Once you have followed that process, try a video again. If it still
plays poorly then try playing a video in your browser through the web
app (m.playon.tv) to see if your tablet is handling Flash differently.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for contacting PlayOn Support.

I have problems with M8 Amlogic tvbox recently bought from Geekbuying (and so far no response to emails requesting support - not good)
The unit looks well build and basic performance, speed, display etc is OK. I've flashed the latest firmware (quite easy). But, big but...
UK TV streaming doesn't work properly:
BBCi player app: sound, but no video (black screen)
4od app: plays downloaded videos, but streaming live content gets "can't play this video" error message
Eurosport player app: live content gets "can't play this video" error message
Can anyone shed a little light into what is wrong here please ??
is there a missing codec? or a missing app ?
thanks, I'd love to fix this - then the M8 will be a great performer - at the moment its pretty crap.
Not much of a response....

Response received from Geekbuying was basically,
"sorry you're having problems, there is nothing we can do, if the factory produce an update to flash we'll put it on the blog"
the request for return and refund for something not fit for purpose was ignored.
Here is one who won't be trading with Geekbuying again.

Hello guy,how is your M8 now?

Hi,
Still the same, trying updated flash rom, but so far no improvement.
Happy to stick with it if the help is found to resolve the problem, I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems playing streaming video.

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same problem...
Try to install the update or re-install the ROM. I never has these problems before
Hi Sorry to hear your having problems
I have just bought the same OTT 4K TV BOX, Quad core, 2GB ram 8GB internal from amazon listed as fully loaded and rooted.
I can only speak for my box purchased sept 2014 and so far it works flawlessly... if you want UK live channels (i'm in uk anyway) google
for Mobdro.apk and install it to the device it works and stream a multitude of channels including all uk channels.
The included XBMC 13.1 works well and is preinstalled with all the popular video addons which auto update to fix dead links and non working
streams and 80% stream very well, yes some links are dead but thats the nature of the 3rd party apps put on these devices, the manufacture
and seller has NO control over these links etc.
I have taught myself how to completely reinstall the devices firmware and do a reinstall of apps and even the XBMC custom setup and again the
box works perfectly. To backup XBMC use USB SD Card pluggin 1.1.6 it's by far the quickest and best option to avoid problems.
My box has a startup logo saying Droidplayer.co.uk if yours is the same google them, go to their website where you can download the
DP app v2.1, put this on the device, uninstall XBMC and reinstall it via the app which will also redo the custom addons (big download though)
Early days for me but so far so good, box is well made with slightly skittish software here and there due to the 3rd party apps etc.
Provided remote is rubbish so have ordered a 3 in 1 air mouse keyboard remote.
Not much progress

Hi,
Not much progress really, I've flashed various upgrades (now on 7/22 firmware) with a little improvement; 1024p HD now works for playing videos (best with MXplayer so far) and BBCi player now works in HD, but no progress with Eurosport Player which refuses to play the live streaming data "cannot play this video" - yet it will play the videos from previous days. I guess either Eurosport use a different format for the live stream and the M8 is missing either a codec or some DRM data.
It is such a shame because my main use for a tv box is Eurosport player, then video quality overall is the best of any Android TV boxes I've tried, but the others all worked with Eurosport !
Does anyone have any clues ??

I hope you've managed to get this sorted by now. But I just got mine and had the exact same problem as you did. Reading this thread, and the response from @leezaal got me thinking about using the stuff from droidplayer.co.uk and sticking it on my box. So I tried it, and it works like a charm. Here's the link to get it working for anyone who's looking at this:
http://www.droidplayer.co.uk/blog/?p=351
So all in all, follow that link and you should be sorted, thanks to @leezaal and the fully loaded XBMC from that website is very useful.
Hi Willmott1992 and thanks for your offer of help, but it didn't.
I have lots more in XBMC (I guess this is "video underground"), but my subscribed Eurosport Player still won't / can't play live video stream and the problem only seems to exist with the M8 box.
Does anyone know what codecs / DRM files are required to enable the Eurosport Player app to function ?
Vega S89 wont play live stream on Eurosport player to. Subscription is ok, it works on other devices (Galaxy Tab p7500 with4.4.4, P6 and Xperia L.

Hi X1iGGVV,
Thank you for your response.
Do you (or anyone else) know why Eurosport Player won't play ?? This is what I'm trying to find out and hopefully find a fix.
I contacted Eurosport technical support and their reply was (as expected) 'Android TV box is not supported, only phone and tablet' - loosely translated as we don't want to know - funny because it works on my old Justop Droibox Lite tv box. Sadly they wouldn't answer the question what codecs are required for it to work.
If Eurosport player works on most android devices (including TV boxes) then it ought to work on a high spec. unit like the M8 ??
Hi!
I have try to get some help from Huawei P7 community, and instructions about to get colection of missing Codecs. It is about streaming codecs and compatibility with Mali-450 GP. P7 have the same graphics and there is a product that is made for Europian countrys. Hope to get some respons from the owners or developers for P7, just for the reason that is wrighte HW and tha I know that Eurosport Player working on P7. Specific Codecs have to be coped in the Vega box and in the directories that Eurosport Player looks for the codesc. I know tha this is a way looking backwords for Vega development just for that fokus is on 4K videos playing a lokal and not sreaming. I´ll not give upp, it will works!
On the other side I can undersend Eurosport Player support team that no help leaks from the team about hardware that is not fully compatible (codecs include) with europian market. It is not Eurosport team that have to fix it. It.s a developers of HW that have not think about something that is far away from China , Eurosport Player works from Europian IP networks and it is not posible for China developers to check upp every single app.
Best regards from Sweden

Hello everyone,
this is my first tablet and I had purchased for play games and watch movies and sports.
I really don't know if this it's happening just to me or if someone else has discovered the same thing. When I install flash player (to see tv on net) in portals of streaming which requires flash player, the navigators doesn't work, the screen display just white.
I really want to love this tablet, but if I can see streaming.. I really dont know what to do...
please help me if anyone knows what can I do to display flash content in this lovely monster..
Flash Player hasn't been supported by Android in quite some time now. It never worked in Chrome. It was only supported by the old Android native browser which is not present on the Shield Tablet.
Just go download the .apk file from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installing-flash-player-android-devices.html

What are the sites you are trying to use? I know most streaming sites I use utilize HTML5 and doesn't require flash to work correctly.
Ok I visit drakulastream to watch soccer, and ESPN play, fox sports play
ok I found the solution, I had tried with different browsers and finally it was PUFFIN the one who saved my life.
If you people want to do the same which I want to, so I recommend that you download this browser.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffin&hl=es-419
Of course you can search for the free version on the web.
Thanks to all...
