you know rc3 has been released right.. try updating and see if it works. If not try peopleROM and see if it works, if it does, report the bug in the cm7 bug tracker

Doesn't work for me on rc2 or rc3. It does work on my tablet and asks for root access. It never asks for root on cm7.

Now on rc3. "Unexpected error during integrity validation". Thats what it says when I try to stream. I have un and reinstalled several times.

No, different app. New xfinity TV streaming app is what I am talking about. Not programming.

Ok so here is the scoop:
Xfinity TV: control recordings or what you're watching on your TV.
Works w/o issues
Xfinity Mobile: watch comcast content.
this apps says it is ICS compatible now, but I had no video just sound.
new app called Xfinity Player:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laynow&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
works perfectly, I installed (11mb) and ran a show w/o issues.
I hope that helps; looks like comcast may be moving things around.
I'll restore back to Thunderhawk (OMG the batter life) and test the same apps and report back - about if the xfinity mobile app acts the same.

Damn, sorry to hear that.
You'll probably have to pose the question to xfinity.

I have also had this problem, even when I upgraded from rc2 to rc3, switched su's and moved to sd card, clear data, etc.

Allshare/DLNA is freakin COOL!

My parents just got one of those HD sets with it built in and so I finally tried this feature. It worked really well aside from some pausing, which I'm guessing is choking due to it being a 720p video from my phone and maybe the connection. The video itself was only about 45 seconds.
But what chiefly impressed me other than the proof of concept was that the devices recognized each other right away. Does anyone use it and is it smoother than my experience?
I've used it once before and put my music from my phone onto my ps3 other than that not really but I agree it is pretty awesome

Gmote is also very cool, but it hasn't been updated in forever and is sorely missing some features. Of course it doesn't use DLNA but it serves some of the same functions.

Hmmm...You should be able to find the apk around somewhere and put it back. I use Titaniaum backup and was able to keep it with that. I believe I have seen it available somewhere though. dlna.apk if I remember right is AllShare.
Dlna.apk
i just tried to install the apk for this and it will not install, i adb pushed it to /system/app and it still doesnt show up or anything. i am by no means an expert at this but i try alot of different stuff on my phone, anyone have anything else i can try to get the apk to install? i pulled the ak from this google spreadsheet, and it shows up at allshare v2.0

when i tried to adb install it, it said it did not have the required shared libraries. Thanks for any help! =)

but my TV has AllShare. lol i do use iMediaShare, but i was still curious why it wouldnt let me install it. i threw some tw files on my cm7 epic and got kies air to work, but allshare still wont work... i also got SamsungApps to work and installed Allshare Player from there but its not the same. it does work pretty close to the same though from what i remember of AllShare.
The wife and I both have Samsung phones... We recently picked up a 60 inch Samsung LED TV... Allshare works blazingly simply. Fire up the app, select what you want, and away it goes. It just works.

Does it ever choke or stutter on larger video files? Is the DLNA protocol somehow bandwidth limited? Maybe distance is a factor, or is it CPU/memory of the phone? Just curious because my one test choked some.

I've found that if I use the samsung task killer widget to kill apps (just hit the X), then go run allshare subsequent videos all run fine.
If I don't and just start trying to share videos, yeah it stutters badly.
I have a samsung plasma with all share and imediashare will play video to it without any problems
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Hmm I just installed imediasharelite. I didn't have to kill anything to get it to stream videos without stuttering. Nice.
I'm running CM7 now, and it doesn't have allshare, so I'm using skifta, it's a great alternative.

Netflix with CM10-preview 3 black screen/no video

Hi all.
I have loaded, on my at&t LG Nitro HD P930, CM10 - Preview 3 and am having issues with Netflix. I've looked around and found other JB ROMS seem to work with it but haven't seen anyone talk about this ROM and phone combo. I'm getting a black screen with sound but no video when running Netflix.
I've tried wiping all data. I've tried reinstalling from scratch and uninstalling/reinstalling Netflix.
I would've posted in the CM10 preview ROM thread but can't post there yet. Anyway, any ideas? Anyone else having this issue?

Try updating the ROM to CM10 Preview 5. I'm not sure of the changelog but it may fix your problem.

Flash isn't supported by Jelly Bean if that's what you're running. Check this out. This is a short article about it that also gives work around or two to help. There are also a tin of posts here on xda that talk about it. You can also use other browsers that will play flash. Hope it helps:

Weird, I swear my Chrome browser is working with Flash just fine. I did, however uninstall this app because it was a nuisance.
I just upgraded from the old EVO 4g to the S3 and I just downloaded the flash for 4.0 from Adobe. Is there any certain way to install to get it to work properly and I am still using stock browser? I had my EVO for two years+ and I am enjoying the new S3! Thanks!

There is usually a setting for managing add-ons in the browser settings menu. Personally, I use Boat, which allows Flash "always-on" or "on-demand" settings.

[Q] Music Player pushing to WMP?

Discovered a feature this weekend, but I'm not sure how it's actually working and was hoping someone could tell me what I did!
I'm on stock rooted GA10, using the Samsung Music Player. When I launch the app on my home network and I've got Windows Media Player open on my desktop, the app will show a PC symbol in the top left (see screenshot). Clicking on that pushes what I'm playing in the app to my PC, and thus out my stereo (win!)
I've set up WMP in the past to stream music from my PC (to my Xbox), but I have no idea what I would have changed to allow me to push media to it. Anyone know what service/protocol this would be using so I can get more info on it? Thank you!
