Hi, I know that I can use the uTorrent remote app to start torrents on my computer from my phone, but I watch all of my movies and tv shows on my tablet. Does anybody know of a way that I could remotely start a torrent download on my tablet using my phone? Thanks!!
ASUS tf700 with Cyanogenmod 11
Samsung Galaxy S4 with Google Play Edition ROM
Download utorrent from Google play and any task sheduler from Goole play.
The other way is TeamView.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
any installable torrent app for tf700
If there's any torrent UI app/agent that runs on android tab just like on PC then maybe..
thanks
Hmm interesting, thanks for the tips I will check these out!
ok so I can use a task scheduler to automatically start uTorrent, and I'm assuming I could get it to open torrent files inside a specific folder, so that it could check that folder periodically and start any torrent file that's in there, but how would I activate that from my phone? like how would I get a torrent file onto my tablet from my phone? could I download a torrent to my dropbox or something, and then have the task scheduler open Utorrent and start whatever torrent is in the Dropbox folder?
Other than that I'm not sure how I could get that to work. I haven't used a task scheduler before. Glad you told me about it though.
Do I need to install the drivers for the nexus player to sideload apps from my PC ?
If so, where are the drivers located ?
I have downloaded the latest SDK toolkit
Thanks

When I installed it the drivers were included. Don't forget you have to enable developer mode and then enable usb debugging to enable the ADB interface. That will show up as a different device in device manager (assuming you're on windows)

Is there a tutorial anywhere that shows exactly how to install the drivers and sideload apps for the Nexus player?
From the USB Driver thread:

I got it up and running by:
Selecting update driver
Browse my computer for driver software
Selecting let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Selecting show all devices
Clicking have disk
Finally selecting \android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf as the driver
Hope this helps anyone else who comes across this issue.

And once you've got the drivers, I think you can use the Sideload Wonder Machine to sideload things, if you don't like using the command line.
I was sideloading everything with the OTG usb cable but then I installed ES File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en and I've been using the Remote FTP server feature on there to just send stuff over without having to connect it to a computer. I think you can use the play store website to do a remote install over to the Nexus Player with ES File Explorer and then just get the APK for whatever you're trying to load and FTP it over. You can then use ES File Explorer to find that file you just sent over and install it. You will need the 'install from unknown sources' feature on still in the dev options but it does make it easier.
So how, exactly, would one side-load the Amazon Instant Video app? I would be happy to lose our aging Google TV but the Nexus Player doesn't support Amazon... does anyone here have a link to the Amazon apk? Thanks!
As far as I know Amazon Prime streaming won't work until Amazon gives their blessing and releases and app for the Android TV platform. There is an app for for phones and tablets available through the regular Amazon store app but there are some hoops you have to go through to get it working which includes sideloading their 'player' app or whatever, it's not a good solution at all and I doubt it'd be easy to use on the Nexus Player even if it launched.
With Amazon releasing their own set top boxes and HDMI sticks I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a Prime streaming app on android for a long while, if ever. Our best chance at getting it on the Nexus Player would be if someone figures out a way to pull the native Fire TV app off that device and getting it working on stock android and some how keep Amazon from blocking it as they are actively shutting down apps that can stream Prime: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...d-removed-from-the-play-store-after-36-hours/
This sucks as I'd love to see all that content since I pay for Prime, I doubt I'll be renewing that next year though for this reason.
I sideloaded the instant video and amazon apps from my phone and both installed. I had issues when I attempted to watch a prime video however. Otherwise both apps worked fine.

I think you might be out of date a little. The Amazon store app now allows you to stream Prime video on most Android devices. No additional hacks or sideloading required.
side load apps that work
\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
side loaded apps tested so far
with keyboard and mouse only

Easy way to sideload is goto the playstore in the browser of your pc. Install esfile explorer to the nexus player. The app will not show up on the main page but will be in the setiings/apps. Make sure you have selected unknown sources enabled on the nexus player. Share a folder on your home network from your pc. Place the apk you want to install in that folder. Open esfile manager and goto the lan tab. You shoukd see your folder you shared on your pc. Apk installs no problem. My question is how do you get the installed apps to show up on your nexus player home screen?

Yeah this works fine. .
Hi, so I have a Shield Tablet (stock, not rooted) and want to watch WWE Network from outside the US, but the WWE Android app requires GPS verification that though I can fake, but the process takes very very long every time I select another video to watch and for some reason the streaming quality is always in SD.
There is a WWE Network app on Google Play for Android TV that doesn't have the GPS verification, but I can't download it with a non-Android TV device. So I grabbed it somewhere else and sideloaded it to my tablet. It did install, but I can't open it. The "Open" text in the window that comes up after sideloading an apk is greyed out or missing (can't remember anymore), and the app is nowhere to be found besides in the app management settings.
I mean, why can't I run the app? Afaik Android TV is a restricted version of the full Android, so the full Android should be able to run Android TV apps, right?. Is there a hack that lets me run Android TV apps on my tablet? Can I perhaps install Android TV on my tablet if nothing else works?
Appreciate any help. Thanks!
Anyone please?
