OK So here's an app I made that lets you download free movies (flv) and TV Shows (also flv) from the website ...
Videos work perfectly with MX Player.
APK is in the attachments, happy watching !
MOD EDIT: App infringes on Media Copyrights. Do not use XDA to host such apps.

Ok I know this is a really dumb question but is there an app or a way to download movies and watch them in good quality? I assume the file size would be to big for even the evo. Any advice? Thx
I use double twist to sync music and movies.

A great site that I use for download movies or series is : http://www.cuevana.com
EXCELLENT quality and thousand of movies and series ... (just for download) (no player available for mobiles).
There is an app in the market. its called androstream it plays bacl .avi and does it really well...it streams from an http:// server or from you local network. the way i havi it setup is; i have windows 7 iis running an http server with directory browsing enabled and browse my directory from my androids browser click on the file and stream, very easy to do. if you need more help or info pm me and i will help you.
That website doesn't let you download I guess the links are dead. Looks clean though.

Hi guys
I have recently come from the Windows mobile systems to Android (because WP7 is kack), I used to log into my Windows Home Server and stream movies from it to my phone using WebGuide.
This method doesn't seem to work on Android, does anyone know of any applications for Android or Windows Home Server which will allow me to do this again?
Most movies are home made and have been converted to .mp4 or .wmv formats but I do have a couple of .avi movies too.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Terry
I have had luck with the mp4 streaming server from the tools4movies website. Streams well over wifi and will do 3G if the quality is reduced enough. It might suit most of your needs
Never found an Android app and was considering a Windows 7 phone since it is supposed to work well with WHS V2, I have decided to stick with Android.

If you can install VLC player on your server, you can watch your movies with VLC S&C Free app for your DHD. You can play anything with that - mp4, avi, wmv, mkv... you name it.
This is probably old news now but for anyone who wants to know, I finally found an app that works.
It's called Subsonic, it works on port 4040 on your media center/WHS box and streams perfectly for music and video - it doesn't say that it supports video as it was originally designed just for music but it works impressively none the less.
Subsonic also has a trick up its sleeve which allows you to watch live tv directly from your tv tuner, from what I can tell this only works from Media Centre machines itself with a HD Homerun box which allows TV over IP.
I hope this helps anyone who comes across this article.

What media server is subsonic connecting to? I can't get it to see twonky
None, it just sits on my Windows Home Server and streams my personal music and movies directly.

This week in promotion
TV Shows Stream and Movie Stream are in promotion ( 50% Off ) until the end of the week. Remember that you can try the free lite version called "TV Shows Stream lite"
TIP: Now is also possible to download the tv episodes and movies if you have installed "real player beta" and you select this player as "External player" method inside the tv shows and movie apps.
Hi,
Can you tell us what miui rom are you using? ^^
And i see the in the youtube video that you use the native android player with the "external players" option, it can be choppy ocasionnally with some video formats. I whould recomment using "Rock Player". It has given us very good result for playing streams.

http://download.easetuner.com/download/SopCast.apk

heres a useful site to stream euro football games http://www.asiaplatetv.com/index.php,
just look for the game you want and click one of the sopcast links and it will open the app and stream.
note. you will need a good connection to stream high bitrate streams.
Sweet ill have to try it out.

I have moved away from Spotify premium on my Android phone, in favour of Spotify Lite (no ads), YouTube Vanced, and YouTube Vanced Music. Using Set Orientation for Spotify Lite on my Shield TV works great, but most of the time you have to guess what is actually selected on screen as this does not highlight, and you cannot cast from Spotify Lite on another device. If you already have it running on Android TV and you open it on your phone (with the same account) and select something the UI will not respond on the phone but it will start playing on the TV. This could work but the drawback with this is that if you leave it running and you are not at home trying to use Spotify Lite your songs will only be playing at home, not to mention if you want to play music on your phone and someone else wants to use the Shield.
There are ads when casting from YouTube Music Vanced to the Shield - on the Shield.
Google Home does not yet allow adding the Shield TV to a speaker group
Smart YouTube TV works great on Android TV, there are no ads but if you try to have audio only by going to your homescreen it pauses playback.
Is there some way to do this? I am happy to root the Shield if necessary.
Have you tried Newpipe? No ads and has background player. You can get it from fdroid or official site https://newpipe.schabi.org/

Yes, I have Newpipe and Smart YouTube TV installed but when I cast from my phone it the music or music and video play using Chromecast and I still experience ads.
I also found with Newpipe that you cannot login so I cannot access my saved playlists or recommendations etc.
Have you had a different experience?

Didn't know that for login as I'm not using google account. I bookmark playlists directly in Newpipe.
As for ads when casting that has to do with Chromecast. Chromecast is getting stream directly from router, not your phone. I believe you will have to block ads either directly on Shield with an ad blocker or on network level by using ad-blocking dns or pi-hole.
