How to Watch Movies using Attached Folder [Use Old Version]
- Extract Folder
- Drag & Drop Folder into Storage Card
- Open Folder
- Select Movie or TV Show - Movie or TV Show will start playing
Note: .elks is the file extension for the Movie file
How to Watch Movies Online - Latest Releases [Use Latest Version]
- Click Movies Icon
- You will see the following screen (Translated in English):
10Live.Com
Movie Name: X
Y
Z & So On.
- Click on a link to view its contents
- If you decide that this is the movie you want to watch, then you will see the following screen:
10Live.Com (Clicking this will take you back to the Movie Links)
????
Movie Title: @!?$
DVD Cover (Image)
???????
???????
View Movie (□□□) - Clicking this link will play the movie
-----------------
Note:
Sometimes, you will find that there are two links with three boxes in them, this means - the movie is split into two, hence two links. Clicking the first link obviously will play Part 1 and clicking the second link will play Part 2.
In addition to this, most movies have two versions. The first two links are the high resolution version (first half and second half). The later two links are "low resolution" version. The number under the links is required credit to watch the movie. Looks like you either needs to participate in the community or pay to get these credits.
P.S: I did some research and there are payment options as well but I'm unsure as to what you get if you do make a payment.
-------------------
GOOD NEWS:
I have been able to get a folder with all the links to 100's of movies and TV shows which will save you the time to manually hit every link but there might be cases where new movies come out, in which case I will update the folder on a regular basis (if I'm able to get the links). I will attach it in this thread.
BAD NEWS:
Unsolved Problems:
- Change language in PIE to view in English
- Remove Chinese subtitles
------------------------
Special Instructions:
I notice, for me - some movies don't play in new version and some don't play in old version. Because of this, I will be attaching both players i.e new and old so you have no problems whatsoever in watching the movies.
Solution:
Use "Old Version" for movies in the attached folder
Use "New Version" for watching movies online
Setup Instructions for Solution:
Drag & Drop both .cabs in your storage cardBased on what you want to watch, install one over the other. For now, this is the only solution I'm aware of. ------------------------
Missing .Elks (Movies):
You played a movie and you stopped or paused it and wanted to play it again but you notice the files are missing ,that's because they are located (depending on where you installed 10Live) in the following folder:
Go to Program Files on "main memory" or "storage card", open 10Live and then open the folder called "elks" - in there you will find your missing files.
------------------------
Credits:
- Special Thanks to River Moon & Raj from DotSIS Forums for the translation, hard work and support.
- Special Thanks to dung1291985 for creating the Movie folder making it easy on all of us to access these movies without the headache of manually clicking every link.
- Special Thanks to qaplus for the translation of the streaming player menu, settings and main menu.
-------------------------------
Personal Review:
It's a beautiful piece of software with no lagging whatsoever even on Edge except I dislike the fact that there's no user flexbility in changing the "Chinese" language to "English" language as well as the Chinese subtitles that show up without an option to turn them off. The quality is amazing, however - even on EDGE
------------------------
End Notes:
I hope everyone will be able to use this guide & be able to enjoy FREE DVD-Quality streaming movies without the hassle of translating chinese webpages.
Enjoy!
Best Regards,
lukybandit

Atleast, post some feedback. Took me a while to write the guide. Let me know how it works for you.
I'm sticking this but before I do that, I need to see some positive response.
I was going to post Nice Work last night but didn't want to clog up the thread. It's so well organized. Anyway I figured 10live out doing the trial and error for the movies. I think the guide is great. I was amazed at the streaming quality on edge.
Anyway the only question I do have is: Where is this folder you speak of or is it the zip file?
GOOD NEWS:
I have been able to get a folder with all the links to 100's of movies and TV shows which will save you the time to manually hit every link but there might be cases where new movies come out, in which case I will update the folder on a regular basis (if I'm able to get the links). I will attach it in this thread.
Hey, Thanks & I appreciate the way you think as most users just clog up threads with unnecessary questions & comments already answered in the guide. The folder is the zip file called 10live Streams. Did you try it yet? It has 100's of movies & TV shows that play just by clicking on them.
The streaming quality is amazing. I didn't expect to see movie quality like this over edge connection. I only got 2 bars in my area!
The software itself could use some stability and usability improvement. I hope they will cache the channel information instead of having to go back to server for each page. During testing, I spend more time just to navigate through the list than watching movies!
BTW, the middle icon in the home screen means "Community".
Thanks for that. I will update my post accordingly. Are you Asian? If so, do you understand everything? If you do, is there anything else you can tell us so we can maximize the functionality?
Also, Do you know how to play around with the settings?
Finally, It doesn't work for me sometime. I don't know why - It just keeps loading, and If i revert back to the old player, it works and some of the stuff doesn't work in the old player.
I want to watch videos constantly just using the New Version if possible. I'm guessing something to do with settings, Any help will be appreciated.
Just check the home screen again. The middle icon means "Member". The one below means "Community".
The version I got from 10live.com is 1.6.1538. Where did you get 1.62363? Is it more stable?
In my version the Setting screen has these default values:
Network Type: Auto
Buffer Time: 60 seconds
Volume: 5
Network Timeout: 60 seconds
Retry: 5 times
CMWAP limit: 200K
Continue From Stop( not sure what's this) : On
Reverse Video: Right hand
In setting screen, the left soft key is "Reset To Default", right key is "Return"
Hope this helps.
==
PS: Most movies have two version. The first two links are high resolution version (first half and second half). The later two links are "smooth" version (low res I think). The number under the links is required "credit" to watch the movie. Looks like you either needs to participate in the community or pay to get these credits.

Thanks for the quick reply and I appreciate you laying out the settings in English.
Can you post your version so I can install it and see if it's much better or not because some of the "movies" in the folder don't play and it just keeps loading.
Meanwhile, let me check my settings. Oh Also, Can you check the guide and see where you can fill in the blanks i.e. the Question Marks so I can have a fully functional guide. I really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot once again.
EDIT: Oh Also, When you play the Movie, what is the left & right softkey (I'm guessing this is return) and What are the options on the Menu in the left soft key?
Been Waiting For Something Like This....
I Have A Question... can i have the old version and the new version both installed on my phone or will it try to over-write the new one with the old one when i try installing it?

From what I've experienced the old player version plays the movies in the folder we have from lukybandit-"10live streams" the new player version plays the movies on the website....and yes if you install one the other will be replaced....I have both copies of the players and I install whatever player I need depending on the movie I want to watch...

I downloaded the 1.6.1538 directly from 10live.com website. They probably have different versions for different phones. But 1.6.1538 is the one set for S620.
In player window, the right softkey is "Return" as you guessed. The left one means "Option" with following navigation choices:
1. Progress (forward, backward control)
2. Zoom -> Regular, Wide Screen, Ultra-Wide screen

Exactly, you're right. I was experiencing the same problem but I guess that's how we'll have to play the movies.
"OLD VERSION" for files in the folder
"NEW VERSION" for movies from the website
In regards to having both softwares installed, I have both .cabs on my phone and depending on what I want to watch, I just install either/or and yes, it does overwrite the previous version.
Ok, the player looks nice and all, but is there actually a place to watch live tv on your cell phone? zoovision seems to be quite limited in what is available (who the **** watches **** VanDyke and the Andy Griffith show anymore???). I saw you have Fox News on your screen shots, where do we go for things like that?
amazing
the quality is very good, its amazing
Something i noticed......
ok i went into the folder of movies provided to us in a zip and i started watching barewolf part 1 i closed the program out in the middle of the movie (thats another thing i cant figure out how to close the program out) anyways i closed the program out and when i went back into the folder to try and finish watching the movie the file wasnt there anymore.. it seems that the file some how got deleted when i closed the program out in the task menu... has anyone else had this problem? all the movies keep deleting themselves when i close the program out... where do the files go?
Check the first post, guys. I have updated it accordingly with fixes/solutions and new translations.
Thanks to qaplus once again.

Hello Everyone!!! Was reading the forum for long time, the best forum out there, so well done all.
This is my first thread
I would like to know if there is an app where I can put my movies (DVD) library on my phone (the Great HTC TOUCH HD). Something like Delicious Library or mediaman (with a borrowed option)
That will be nice with a touch screen interface and download the movies data from imdb or amazon.
if not is there anyone interested in writing one???
The only movie database i know for PPC is "Leonard Maltin Movie Guide" where you can mark movies as borrowed. But as far as I know you can`t update the database as it is built in.
I am looking for a database myself a very long time.
In the meantime I have entered my DVD´s in List Pro (Hard work for about 1500 DVD`s)
dvdprofiler have all the functions you are looking for
http://www.invelos.com/dvdpro/Info.aspx
http://www.invelos.com/dvdpromobile/Info.aspx
my preferred is:
http://www.invelos.com/
Thanks guys, I will try the Leonard Maltin Movie Guide and the DVDProfiler and let you know ....
Leonard Maltin Movie Guide doesn't work at all on the HTC Touch HD, whereas the DVDProfiler Works fine, but it doesn't display properly, the bottom of the screen is empty...
Anyone have an alternative??? or a solution to fix this issue??
Mmm, Movieguide works fine with WVGA, on my HD at least. Version 85 of 2008. Full screen! So?
Hi
I have a TILT 2 that freezes up several times a day and need advice on that. Also need advice on which apps to load to Device or to Storage Card. And, what can I do about battery drain? I get maybe 5 hours of power if I don't use any apps or make any calls. Otherwise I have to be hard-wired in order to enjoy music, read books, make conference calls, surf the web or play. Finally, what can be done to improve call quality for callees. I spend a good portion of every day on the phone and I'm constantly getting complaints about breaking up, garbled, etc although I have a great signal and the sound is great from my end.
Storage Card
Audible Player - I don't use the player just the download features and synchronization
Batti – Love this app, especially with this phone because it seems to be a battery hog. (% Increments and always on top)
Google Maps
List Pro – Have used this app for years and love it for keeping the various lists that make my life work
Pocket Clock Pro – Another long time favorite for multiple alarms and timers
Microsoft Mobile Tag
Netflix Mobile
Pocket Music - I use this to listen to Audible downloads and the equalizer feature so I can control the volume of my music since the unit volume is way too loud and the Bluetooth lack of control issue.
Soothr – This little app is pretty cool. I travel a lot for work and spend a lot of time in hotels. I use the sounds to help block some of of the hotel noise
SPB Diary - I wonder if this one should be loaded to device memory
Total Commander – Given how often I do registry edits, it's a no-brainer
Weather4Me - I don't use the TF3D or Windows Default Today themes so need this app to stay up to date on conditions for the various cities I travel to most often
You Tube
Sudoku – Various apps but usually only one at a time. My favorite game
Meon – Another game, very addictive. Great for plane trips.
3 AVI movies - compressed with VirtualDub
Device Memory
Active Synchronization
ATTNAV – It's only here because I can't remove it
Easy Today Launcher – On the Today screen with my fave 7 most used apps (File Manager, Palringo, List Pro, Pocket Clock, Weather4me, Pocket Music, Google Maps)
Panoramic Launchpad – Accessible from Today
Pocket Digital Clock – For Today display (no seconds)
HTC & AT&T – apps I can't remove
Opera Mini, IE, Opera 9
My Mobiler
NETCFv35
Average 55MB free on Device
8 gb SDHC Memory Card about 50% full
I don't use graphics or themes
I deleted or uninstalled as much of the default loaded stuff as I could
My Today is pretty simple
Panoramic Launchpad
Pocket Digital Clock
SPB Diary (Calendar, Tasks, Notes, Messaging)
Easy Today Launcher
Device Lock
I've made a few registry edits (See Below)
In Call Recording - I use the stock recorder mapped to the PTT button. Start a call, push the button, start recording. Not as convenient as VITO Notes or even BugPhone (which is pretty awesome)
Adobe Reflow – Suffices for reading downloaded books from ManyBooks.net and Gutenberg Project resources.
Extra Camera Modes – Camera mapped to long key press
Message Sent
Volume Adjustments
Fix NetCF to use 3 instead of 2
Simple Mode - I set it so I have both Volume and System level controls
I did the ActiveSync fake out to keep it from coming on all the time
I do like to tinker and I'm not exactly new to the forum or in modding devices but I must admit a lot of what y'all discuss in these forums is over my head. I do pretty good research and I follow directions really well.
I'm an AT&T prisoner and a fan of HTC phones. I had a PPC 6700 that I liked lot, and a Kaiser which is about when I discovered the forum. I unlocked it and really gave it a workout. The screen became frozen so I got a Diamond, then the Fuze. Now I'm on the Tilt 2 with a refurbished Kaiser as backup. I need the backup because I've had some pretty good luck talking AT&T into doing right by me and I've won a couple of battles with the replacement insurance but after this last round I don't think I've got anything left.
I've had 3 phones where the screen froze up. The first was my original Kaiser – almost 2 years of use then bricked. I had 2 Diamonds, the first lasted a week before the screen froze up, the 2nd just under a year. I don't know if it is coincidental but the last screen problem happened only a couple of days after I downloaded and configured diamond tweaks and made adjustments for screen sensitivity and real estate. I've not yet had the courage to flash a custom ROM but I've had to flash the stock ROM often enough I feel like I easily could and will probably “upgrade” this TILT2 although I don't know with which ROM yet.
I don't really like the TILT2 as it seems like instead of improving the overall product line it was hastily thrown together. That Bluetooth thing where it won't allow control from headsets really bothers me. Also an annoyance is the lack of volume control.

Hi,
I just want to inform about an app that has been developed by xda members and has been reported as working properly on Galaxy S, and might be of your interest.
The aplication searchs in internet for tv shows video links that can be played directly on android, with an easy to use interface and fullscreen support.
There is a Lite (free) version with 12 preselected tv shows and a full (paid) version with 500+ tv shows.
The tv shows that can be watched on the lite version are :
Friends, The X-Files , Family Guy, Being Human, Monk, Lost, Heroes , Misfits, Prison Break , Breaking Bad, The Simpsons, South Park
You can read the full thread on this XDA forum link if you need more information.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
I post it here because not all users go arround the forum , out of their device subforum.
If you find any bug or any suggestion, we are listening to improve, the aplication is still under development, the new feature "send liks to email to be watch on a computer" has just been added this week and we will have new features soon.
regards
Please, test fast forward and rewind in Frogmovz server, pause it before flash forward or rewind. Report if it work for Samsung galaxy S.
Thanks
It's one of my base apps on my phone, works like a charm. No lag, no buffer, smooth playback. Imagine this + Tv output
There are only 12 shows in the light version, but apperantly those are most of my favorite.
Lite shows:
- Friends
- X-files
- Family guy
- Being Human
- Monk
- Lost
- Heroes
- Misfits
- Prison break
- Breaking bad
- South park
- The simpsons

fast fwd, rewind, fullscreen, all working.
Tried on Heroes Frogmovz.
Hi,
Thanks for the reports.
We are working to make FF and RW working in karambavidz that is the only server that does not support it at the moment. It should be working soon. We are also considering direct download for files and the inclusion of movies.
Thanks for the continuous support from all XDA members.
Regards.
Movies would be a huge addition, I recommend moviewatch.in, there are loads of servers too choose from, say "putlocker" is one of the best.
I'd definetely buy the app(would even pay more) if you implement movies, I'm more of a movie watcher, than a show junkie.

I think thanks Surdu_Petru it will be rooted soon, too.
Has anyone installed this already?
Does it kill your tablet?
no on 3 tablets
I just installed this coming from 4.0.7 and it has worked fine.
I tried to use the built in updater but it did not show the update, so I downloaded the file and flashed.
Nothing major so far.. early days but my device is NOT bootlooping
TrOjAn
For those who updated, do you see the excessive RAM usage as reported by 4.0.24 users?
please, honestly. is there some improvement on the touchscreen dead after long standby and of touchscreen in general? thank you

How much free memory would you call OK ??
I've got a 1GB device and in 4.0.7 had >500MB free after boot, but with 4.0.24 it's only about 300MB. I've heard of people with 512MB devices who only have 35MB left after a fresh start.
From what I read, Android 4.0.4 should be using more memory than 4.0.3 ... but it seems a lot, 200MB more RAM usage.
Hi, I installed no problem.
by cons, regarding memory management there is a concern as for 4.0.24.
in the aplication menu program displays the current 0.00 using memory, I think again is good to have a return on 4.0.7, if not find a system to manage memory better knowing that v6 Supercharger is lag in games. Here is my return
Memory left from my 1gb = 300mb so yes, there appears to be a memory problem in latest build.

Definitely using more memory now but it seems like it's put to good use, the tablet is wicked fast now! After the initial boot it took some time to find its feet which was most noticeable switching between home and panel screens but now it's been on a while and I've started most of my regular apps the difference is quite apparent. Starting up and switching apps has had a major makeover and is stunningly fast. As specified Wifi is now also connecting consistently now, tho it too early to say anything definitively. As of now, it seems absolutely worthwhile to upgrade.
oh my !
Have anyone who has had a replacement updated yet ...and if so ......how was it ??:good:
The sound volume is still useless would have been worth the upgrade to fix that!!!

I switched from Clean_Slim&Fast_V01 to that version to see if the touchscreen issues are solved.
Had some problems with the aos-file, so in the end I had to format the disk - but it might be I just didn't get how to do it properly.
After installing everything seems okay. Touchscreen isn't that sensitive anymore (which is GOOD) but I'll wait some days of testing before being too cheerful.
If I press a little bit harder on the touchscreen, still there are those ghost fingers. But if I don't touch too hard, everything is fine (and better than before).
More results after a weekend of testing...
Just updated, everything seems to be a lot faster ......but best of all it works:good:

What's wrong with sound volume ?
I'm using my G9 to watch TV series, listen to music, Skype and never noticed any problem

Hi guys,
Just updated mine and the quadrant scores seems to be a lot better!
Noticed other thing, the native media players (video and music) are not working properly (at least in mine).
now on 4.0.25 rooted - no problems
Archos 80 G9 - 8Gb,512MB RAM, 1,2GHz
had the 4.0.7 rooted by surdu petru ->ok
tried the 4.0.24 -> "bricked" my tablet -> tapping for 5s on the touch made the device to boot
formatted all by recovery menue (not easy to get in)
recovered 4.0.7 stock -> ok -> SDE still working !
installed slim clean and fast by surdu petru -> ok
installed 4.0.25 rooted by surdru petru -> ok
waiting for OC kernel :angel:
Hey everybody.
New at the forum, but i want to say that, untill now (6 hours in testing) i find the new 4.0.25 update quite solid. Had have touchscreenn probs, which were the most annoying among bugs from this tablet that i have experienced with former official releases, but have to say that for instance fake touche and phantom touch problems seems to be out of the way. This text for instance is smoothly typed in, and for testing, the registration on xda and using the app for android proves to be example of smooth inputting via the onscreen keyboard. Untill now i've experienced alot of trouble with entering text, auto-hitting backspace and enter key at random. Now it seems stable without calibrations for 6 hours. Keeping u posted

All the typos above are due to my own lazyness to correct my spelling errors, not courtesy of the update nor tablet functioning

Hi all,
Been using the knowledge on here for a few years, but could now do with a little help. I've had the UK AFTV since launch. Sadly, no root for me, but at least I can still side load XBMC. One thing that bugs me tho.
The source content's category (movie / TV shows) is always forgotten between sessions, so that the library mode is never usable. I'm presuming this is because of the lack of root access? Is there a way around this?
Also, if I can't have AFTV launch XBMC from boot, can I have a shortcut to it somewhere? I'm getting tired of going through settings to launch the app.
I'm not sure what you mean by "The source content's category (movie / TV shows) is always forgotten between sessions, so that the library mode is never usable."
Are you saying that your library isn't being displayed after you shutdown Kodi/XBMC then relaunch it? If that's the case that has nothing to do with not being rooted since that data is stored in the writable part of the /sdcard. If you're losing your library then your having some other issue.
As for launching Kodi/XBMC at launch you can use Llama.
You should also take a look at the wiki: http://kodi.wiki/view/Amazon_Fire_TV

This works...Sorry can't post a link yet. Look at youtube
How To Add Kodi/XBMC App To Your Amazon Fire TV Homescreen
Thanks for that. What i mean is that if I update a source content, i.e set content type to tv, film etc... If i go to set the content type again the state has been lost and its reset to default (nine). This then makes the library mode unavailable. In adittion, i am unable to 'set default conent for all' meaning that i need to disable subtitles on every new video.
Thanks again for any help.
I'm still not sure if I understand what your doing.
Are you referring to selecting the content type as in , Movies, TV Shows, etc from the main menu? And are talking about the View Type being reset?
I also don't think your using the term "Library Mode" in the correct way. If your movies, tv shows are showing up then your library is intact. However, if the way you see the thumbs, metadata, etc. is different, then that is the view type.
And about the subtitles, that is something completely different. It seems that either your confusing several things, or talking about several different issues. For the subtitles you may want to look at this: http://kodi.wiki/view/Subtitles
No, I'm not confused. Sorry I wasn't clear enough (There were a few typos on that last post!).
I refer LIBRARY MODE as being able to select from movies / TV shows. This is not possible for me. I am only able to watch content via FILE MODE. i.e. browsing network content. The reason for this is the problem I've stated. Setting the video source content is lost after it's been set. Kodi can therefore not scrape the content, and no movies / shows are listed. I've installed XBMC on dozens of different devices before and this is the 1st time i've seen this problem.
As for the subtitles, for me they are enabled by default for all videos and remain enabled, whatever I try. To me, the two problems are similar enough to be related. I suspect there are some write privileges affected somewhere? Any settings in the userdata files are ok.
Hope somebody can help resolve this.
There should be no write privilege issues, unless you made permission changes. I'm able to enable/disable subs without any problems. Just play a video, pull up the navigation menu, select video, then disable/enable subs, then set default for all videos (if needed). Works every time.
So, let's get this straight. Are you saying that when you select "Videos / Files" then you source, pull up the context menu, select Change Content that it shows None by the source type? or that when you pull up the context menu it only has Set Content?
If that's right, then somehow you have a folder permissions issue and relates back to your subtitle issue and you need to adb shell into the device and see what the permissions are set for your .kodi or .xbmc (as well as lower) folder are (/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xmbc or org.xbmc.kodi/files/.xbmc or .kodi). However, if you pull up the context menu, select Change Content and it still shows Movies for the type, then you just have a scrapping problem and you need to manually scrap.
It's hard to say what might have happened, but as I haven't heard anyone else having this problem or haven't seen it myself, it appears to be a one off issues only affecting your install.
EDIT: I just noticed this on github: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5860 which maybe related to your content issue.
Try the 12/03 Nightly when it is pushed out, the fix should be merged into that build.
It's definitely a scraping problem. I can choose set content on the video source, select Movie, select ok. The menu closes, you can see the drop down of the scraper begin... then nothing. If I go back into set content... then the content is not set to Movie. This is the same for any content type, and any scraper.
I've just un installed kodi 13.2 and installed SPMC 13.3.3 but the problem is exactly the same on that too. My sources are all via smb://
I use a mysql db in advanced settings but never had any issues with it before - my PC is using 13.2 with out issue also.
*Resolved*
It was failing on writing to the db (reason unknown). Have reverted advanced settings to use local db and all is well. A shame it can't be shared tho. Do you know if it's possible?
