HBO Go & WatchESPN - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is anyone able to get either of these working? HBO Go doesn't even show up in the marketplace so if anyone has an .apk of the current version I'd appreciate it. WatchESPN starts up but attempting to select provider or login to a myESPN account results in some sort of browser error.
Would love to have HBO Go by Sunday for the Homeland finale as I am out of town and my uncle that I will be staying with only has an aircard at his house for internet access. A working method to tether would solve my problem too I suppose. Haha.

Not to be a chode, but Homeland comes on Showtime.

Ha, you're right (and a chode ) I forgot about that. Oh well, I'd still like HBO go to work for watching game of thrones and boardwalk empire episodes

I installed the HBO Go .apk from my Incredible but when I open it all it does is show a message saying "HBO Go is not compatible with this device." and closes.
Looks like we'll have to wait for them to update it ICS.

Someone has got to be able to hack their APK to make it work

Reviving this thread...
Watch ESPN also works fine for me.
Would LOVE to get the HBO Go app. For now, if you set your browser to desktop you can stream HBO Go from their website. Video quality is very good but navigating the site (100% flash) is kinda annoying.

HDMI out question

What exactly can I play with HDMI out? I have some .avi movies that I use arcMedia to play. If I just connect my HDMI and play it will it show up on my tv? Or does it have to be a specific format to play?
As of now, the only things you can output are gallery pictures (slideshow mode only), youtube, and any videos the stock app will play. so your avi's most likely wont play over hdmi.
Does anyone know if you can use the slingplayer app with the hdmi output?

Is anyone working on a fix for this?
Is it just me or did it seem like in the Sense2 'preview' given at the HTC show that someone linked earlier today HTC claimed you could use your TV as a screen for your phone? I believe the quote was something along the lines of, 'what shows up on your phone, shows up on the tv'. They didn't go into any further details, and they were talking about watching videos when they said it. However, if true video out capabilities are included in Sense2, that would be pretty bad ass. Something to keep an eye out for when it finally hits!
You can steam movies from this site (iphonemoviez.net/blog/) and use hdmi to watch on tv (wouldn't let me post full link but I'm sure you guys get it)
I don't think its full ui out yet.. Just wireless streaming of vid and pix...
I wonder though what they using to stream to the tv from the phone.. As well as what requirements the tv needs..

Thank you for this! I did not know this. Lotsa good stuff for my 2 year old here.
I know Cyanogen was working on full hdmi out awhile back.

works great
I use SPB TV app from android market. It is able to stream live ~100 inet channels to HDMI. Reviews are mixed though. And it costs 10 backs for android while free for iPhone, WTF. Not that it worth to pay for given so-so quality and the channel selection could have been better.

Movies on Atrix

Any place I can purchase and then download movies to play on my Atrix?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Your best bet would be to take the movie files off your computer and runt hem through a converter. The atrix can play almost every popular format. Unless you're trying to buy/download from the phone to the phone, I don't think there's an app for that.

If you want a service just use netflixx or something of that nature.I don'tuse it personally but I hear it works well on hk 2.34 at least... Then you could watch practically any movie you want!
Try the Handbrake software to convert files if you have them already.

+1 for this. I use handbrake all the time to convert my movies and they play great on the atrix. I usually use the apple tv preset and then it works with my phone and my apple tv.

ive got an alternative way that uses a different piece of freeware and makes batch encoding for the qhd resolution much simpler.

I remember trying and having it work on my OG Epic so I don't know why it wouldn't work. Unfortunatly I'm not home so I can't mess around to see what settings need to be adjusted. I have a PC attached to all of my televisions so streaming from my phones is not done by the xbox anymore, it's strange but I only use that to play games now.
The easiest thing to do is to order a MHL adapter. I got mine from monoprice in 2 days.

I use the free version.....make sure your Xbox and your phone are connected to your home network, scroll to one of the 2 video library tabs on your Xbox and you should see IMediaShare.

Live streaming is working great but for some reason hbo on demand won't play for me The loading square either just keeps spinning or the screen goes black like its going to start but nothing. Anyone else?
I DL'd the "HBO GO" app, chose the Directv Now as provider, logged in and it's better than in the DTV app!

Yeah I forgot about using HBO Go anyways I've been testing some movies in the the on demand section and some will load but not all, maybe still glitches in the system. Too bad they don't get 5.1 working at least for on demand stuff.

YouTube TV

Has anyone been able to get YouTube TV working on the FireTV?

From what i have seen it is a google services issue. I dont have youtube tv to test. It might work in the browser also (I've seen reports it does, with scrolling issues).
Install the following for signing in. YouTube and services are working with these.... If you need the files i can try and upload them.
Google Account Manager v4.4.4-1227136
Google Services Framework v4.4.4-1227136
Google Play Services (AndroidTV) v11.9.51 (836-177350961)

Works for me. No guarantee Google won't mess it up. Follow the simple guide, disable updates.

Oh. Sorry.
I never even thought about that.
It's one thing for Google to block a free service but to charge a subscription, then make it so a significant amount of customers can't access it...its just a really bad decision.
I'd definitely contact YTTV customer support and complain.

Probably not. But I think Fire Tv is the most popular streaming device in the world. If enough people complain they just might rethink things. Or if you're persistent enough...maybe a refund, free month, credit.

Yes this version works perfectly fine on my firestick - you can also cast to the app (app must be open on tv) from your phone if you goto the apps settings and select link with code & do same on your phones YouTube app
I cast because the search function of the tv app doesn't show a keyboard input

I am too looking for the Youtube TV app, not Youtube.
Let me know if you find a solution.
I sideload the app for the phone but the app could not determine the location.
How can I make the app locate my location?

Fake gps app from play store
I have used wireless adb to
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps
settings put secure location_providers_allowed gps,network
settings put secure mock_location 1
I will write up a full tutorial later today. I have another fitestick to test on, so I can start from beginning.
It's sorta a pain in the ass to get the fake gps coordinates right. I installed the app on my phone, then used the coordinates it read out, and typed them into fake gps using Cletus keyboard. It is important for negative - sign.
Notes are it needs a mouse to navigate some of the app, Cetus play works fine.
Feel free to ask questions.
You can try the app here, no Google Play Services required: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/app-youtube-tv-app-fire-tv-t3757074
Is this for YouTube or YOUTUBE TV?
