IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ALL NEW HTC STREAMING MEDIA PLAYER UPGRADE VERSION, NOW WITH HIGHER VIDEO RESOLUTION OUALIYTY WITH LIVE DIRECT ACCESS TO http://m.youtube.com , THE DOWNLOAD IS LOCATED AT POST NUMBERS {78}, AND {85}! You can now watch YouTube videos live direct access on your wm6 smartphone!
Does it Work!
Has anybody got this to work?
The way you reading it is wrong ... up till now ... we have no way of LIVE watching from youtube ...
the plugin is just a plugin that let TCPMP interpret a FLV file ... this does not let you view youtube LIVE in your device's browser at all .. LOL
it's simple ...really ...
basically it's just a plugin that let you play FLV file format with TCPMP ...
you don't really need that downloader since there are many site online that let you paste a youtube link and among other sites that shows flash clip in FLV format ..
now that you have the plugin for TCPMP ( transfer the *.plg file into TCPMP's directory ) ... all you have to do now is transfer that "FLV" file to your device and open it with TCPMP. ( you still have to download it first though ... )
just google for "youtube download" and you will find sites that let you download the FLV file

There is no way to currently stream from iPlayer but you can do the next best thing which is to download shows and sync them to your device.
One great thing is that the video downloads from iPlayer using get_iplayer are in the correct format (less than 800 x 480, h264, aac audio) which means Zune will sync the videos straight onto the device without having to wait for the lengthy transcoding.
Get_iplayer is here
http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe
What I did was basically set the download folder (do this at the install process) inside My Videos which I have set Zune to monitor. Once get_iplayer is installed, you can either download via command line, or use the handy Web_PVR which should be in the start menu under get_iplayer. (run the get_iplayer first to update all the listings and then the web pvr). It should then pop up in your browser where you can search and "record" shows. It should be default download the videos in the right format to sync to WP7.
Hope this helps!
so you have to use a pc to download the shows, then zune over ?
Yes. However unlike most video files, where you have to wait for the lenghty transcoding process, the downloaded files are in the right format to sync straight away.
Nice find. Well done mate
I keep getting an error saying it failed to get the iphone url from the iplayer site
ok, i really have the lg optimus L9 from tmobile. but no forum yet for the L9 so here i am. just got the phone and am new to andriod, have ice cream.
just want to play a frickin mp3 and avi files that are on the sd card. if i use file manager and naviagate to avi video, i see a small thumbnail. but when i try to click it i get 'try again after scanning media file'. no idea how to scan media files. navigate to mp3 and click get a choice of google play music or music player. music player gives me again "try again after scanning media files'. now all of a sudden the google media works for my mp3 - no idea why.
guess i am trying to understand how to scan media files. and which program will use the library, google play music or music player. and how can i play video. i am ok with even purchasing a player as i really like to play just about any format without having to convert. what is the player out there that will play the most formats?
thanks
For media searching use the SD Sync app from market. Works well.
where is the best place to go to download apps?
Google Play ofcourse
ok. guess i am trying to figure for now
1) if i copy a media file to my storage card, how can i play it right away, without having to update my whole library. i want to download, point an applicaiton to it an play it.
2) what is the video player that can play the most formats?
1)Open the file with file manager. I prefer the root explorer.
2)LG stock player supports everything, at least no problems even with .mkv packed files.
Oh, you got the L9. Not sure about yours but must be same i think
Also if the file was downloaded from web, you can select/open in directly in the download manager.
Just Figured this out M'Self
OK, just had same issue (same 'system message') trying to watch videos using the built-in Video Player. Maybe it was the first time I used it, but I was actually trying to figure out how to use the new 'Q-Slide' feature to watch a video while doing something else on the phone.
I actually pulled up the manual PDF (downloaded from LG, here), then <CTRL+F> (searched the document for similar system mssgs), and got a 'hit' on Page 49 of the OEM manual (my search, BTW, was 'media files'--'scan for' never found it).
You have to let the system do this for the 'FileShare' app also (I'm sure it's about 'indexing'), so I did, and it worked.
Not so much a 'system error', as a little 'systemic quirk' (much like a cosmic queef)

Does anyone know of an app that will play media from a network share? Ive tried Diceplayer and it doesnt seem to support mkvs... If I can find an app that will stream media off my local shares, this will finally be my "one box to rule them all" as it supports all the services Im interested in, I just want to be able to stream my local media. I DONT want to use Plex or XBMC.. I have a Plex server running and it runs great however I have a catch all folder where downloaded stuff goes before I move it into whatever directory its going to live in and thats the content I want to be able to play.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Try archos media player. I haven't tried it yet but it supports SMB. If you come across anything better, let me know
Well, its not an all in one solution, but...
Install VLC for Android and ES file explorer.
In ES file explorer when you try and open an MKV it will ask what app you want to use. tell it VLC and you are in.
The bad news is that the beta of VLC does not appear to support any controls on the Fire remote. It will take
"mouse" command from the cheap MCE remote that people are using as an InfraRed receiver.
Is there a reason XBMC is out? It can be setup to just show your movies and shows without doing any scraping or anything other then just letting you get to your network shares and play it.
I haven't had the greatest luck with XBMC. Ive set it up on numerous devices and its probably that I just end up getting frustrated with it. I ran it naively back in my original Xbox but now I just cant seem to get a handle on seeing it up to my liking. Plex has been great but I don't think my server has enough Wheaties to handle maybe more than 2 streams which is why I've been looking for something to just stream content across the network.

You should try Vimu Player. You won't even have to sideload it is in the fire tv store.
I haven't tried it on the fire tv but I used to use it a lot on my Logitech Revue Google Tv. It doesn't have all the features of xbmc or plex but it did a great job streaming video from my NAS.

Ill give it a shot. I have Plex set up and it works great for me. But I have kids and they want to stream stuff too and Im concerned that my media server isnt going to have the Wheaties to stream that much stuff so the option of being able to play directly from the share is what Im after. My Plex server is an Athlon Phenom II X3 with 16GB of RAM.. really doesnt do anything but run Plex, SabNZB and PlayOn..
Thanks for the heads up!
I use MX Player and Skifta on my android devices to access my DLNA server. So you can give MX Player a try it handles mkvs perfectly fine.
Vimu looks like it has a lot of potential but sadly most of my MKV files dont have sound and I cant really find any settings to change for that. Im going to give MX Player a shot now.. I dont know if thats DLNA only but if it is, thats not what Im looking for. I just want to be able to stream without transcoding on the server side.
MX Player isn't DLNA only it can handle other network streams just fine as long as you know what they are.
DLNA is just happens to be how I push my media files around the house to my devices.
Yea.. I looked at it and couldnt find a way to browse to shares... Im using a Mede8r for playing from network shares right now.. Im so close to being able to ditch everything except the FireTV.. if I could find a good network player that just plays, I could get rid of all my other boxes. I really want the "one box to rule them all" thing......
Try using es file explorer to browse to the share and ND for playback?

I had issues with ES working with the Amazon remote. Are you using an external keyboard/mouse to control it?
Personally I do not have a Fire TV. Just trying to help out is all.
A keyboard and mouse should work fine. Even an air mouse should be ok as well if you want to go that route.
I'm really surprised that Qloud Media doesn't get more attention. You install it as a server on either Windows or Mac, point it at your media and that's it.
Run the client on Android, iOS or Windows devices, plug in the server PIN and you're off. Done and done.
The video is transcoded on the fly, so streaming over the internet results in a lower-quality image at times, but it's certainly watchable.
The GUI isn't fancy, but quite functional. The server end has almost no bells and whistles. You could think of it as Plex-ultra-lite, so there's no overhead processing going on. The server exists only to serve media and that's all. No indexing of your collection, no downloading cover images, etc. It just streams media from whatever source you choose and I haven't had any problems streaming anything in my collection, even .mkv files encoded with AC3 audio that the Chromecast won't touch.
I just loaded the client up to my new FTV last night and again, it works perfectly.
The only minor drawback is that the aspect ratio is a bit weird when viewed on the FTV. It's not perfectly 16:9 but more like 15:9, so the image is a bit squished in from the sides. You don't really notice it after a few minutes though.
Im surprised it's 6 months later and there is still no easy way of playin network shared files, say from a NAS device with a media server, on a Fire TV without having to sideload an app. If I'm wrong please correct me. I did try ViMu but it couldn't play any of my files (mostly MP4s) - everyone said it was unable to play. Currently I use an XBox 360 to browse/watch videos, which I have fairly organized into folders. Why is this so difficult? My Sony TV has a player but it doesn't support folders so its hundreds of videos just in alphabetical order by filename which isn't ideal- plus you can only read the first few characters of the file name without looking at a detailed view so no way to tell what specific file you're looking at if they all start with the same word.
Yes I tried XMBC but it's way overkill, I don't need or want custom artwork per file, it crashes, and it's also not something I can put in the regular fite tv menu. Also XMBC doesn't play 720p content full screen for some reason.
Has anyone had better luck?
Edit ---------------------------
Well after some more trial and error I ended up using Llama to auto start XBMC in place of some other random app so I basically have XMBC on my main Fire TV screen. I also deleted all XBMC data and didn't run any file scrapers this time, and only access files via the Windows Network Share, so it is a much cleaner looking interface like I wanted. Finally the screen size issue was actually the entire Fire TV screen size which I had to enlarge in the Fire TV Display settings. Even maxed out it doesn't 100% fill the screen but it's much closer, I can live with it. Although I didn't bring it up I was also having an issue with the time display I was blaming on XMBC but was again the Fire TV itself was set to Pacific time- you'd think Amazon would have set the timezone right.
Anyway I feel it's much than it was earlier- still occasional crashes on XBMC but not too bad. Just wish I didn't was a few dollars downloading paid apps that didn't work as I thought they were supposed to.
If XBMC is crashing, consider trying SPMC (fork of XBMC). Its available in the Amazon app store (but for the Stick it must be side loaded).
I'm using it on my FTV Stick, and its been solid. No crashes or hangs.
Does anyone know why my MX Player stop playing on my one box it's saying cannot play link it's on my firestick on TV

I don't have a NAS drive, but I'm using Tonido to access files on my home computer and external hard drive via my Tab Pro 10.1 and it works great, albeit a little slow. It is also free, has a built-in media player, and claims to work with NAS. Please search in the Play Store to make sure it comes up for your 8.4 first.
You will need to install/configure it on your computer first. It is cross-platform, and has a mobile app for Android, etc. By default it will let you access your entire computer, but you can set it to just look at specific folders/drives.
Hope this helps.

I am using ES File Explorer to browse my NAS via SAMBA, it has built in picture viewer and media player. You can set it to play video by any other media player, as I use MX Player for video.
I use Plex. It's especially handy if you want to use it outside the house as well

I am also looking for an app that can play whole albums over Samba/ SMB NAS. EX works ok one song at a time, but I want to cue up an album. Plex and Tonido require a dedicated PC running server. I already have the files on NAS, but want to play from a directory. Suggestions please.

I believe, ES File Explorer allows you to queue folder(s)/file(s) for playback:
- long-press the folder - ES will go into the selection mode and add a checkmark to the folder;
- optional: tap other folders/files you want to queue;
- press the overflow menu button (3 vertical dots);
- choose "Play" from the menu.
