[APP] VLC for android

here is the link to the nightlies..
download from neon.... it installs nicely on our phone..
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/
just posting out the link since it doesnt show up in playstore
edit: streaming issues for dome s2 users.. vlan team asked to download neon version. neon version is present in the same link..

what does this app do?

I believe its a video player

Thanks for the find, OP! The tegra 2 version works for me too.
I tried compiling VLC from source a while back but it never worked for me. For those who don't know, VLC is an open source media player; I first became a fan for my various Debian systems because it included the libraries for playing most DVDs.

this app is famous for playing any kind of video and audio file. its a great player allowing you to have the best control over the aspect ratios,subtitles etc.
all of these are in the desktop version.. the link above is an attempt by them to bring all those features to android.. this is not even half of the features i told about. check out www.videolan.org

So far it works really well for me. I like the interface and the ease of changing the aspect ratio.

Will VLC stream media from a WHS to my phone? I have it mapped as a network drive on my home PC (windows 7). Anyone know how to set this up (or link to a guide)? I can't find anything straightforward on google searches. I'd like to be able to access home content anywhere. Thanks.

The way I stream from my home server is to use bubbleUPnP. Just open the app up and find your media server. Then when you select the movie, you have to pick an external player to actually play the movie. I have been using mx player, but VLC should work too.

Thanks man. I went with Plex. It's a paid app but super easy to use and seems to work great. I can access my server files as well with no problem and it works on mobile network as well as wifi.

[APP] XBMC

Any specific place for themes?
Is themin this similar to crapbox version?

Not sure about themes. Sorry.
XBMC is a streaming media player, for those that asked. Its popular for self-built media centers and available on Ubuntu and newer linux distros, Windows, and now Android.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Update, needs some performance tweaks, is this open source? Was when i used it for crapbox,
Also adding screenshots, this things beautiful & for movies on SD, it actually downloads boxart etc. Which is a nice touch gonna look into the theming tho,
Fix the scaling a lil n itd b perfict, hitting thanks again on OP, you deserve it, didnt even know this was a WIP & FYI, not media player, media CENTER, its an AIO program, with native DVD playback, multi format software decoding, built in "gallery", etc, its powerful and on other systems, incredibly customizable, future builds are a garunteed must have app
Edit* wont let me hit thanks, common people show your respects lol
**EDIT2
Theming looks simple,
Skins are listed in "/data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/apk/assets/addons/skin.{skinname}"
Only extra skin by default is called touch, so it would be:
"/data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/apk/assets/addons/skin.touch"
With an addon.xml in root theme folder, specifying multiple variables includig source texture folder,default resolution,etc
Btw, touch default res is 1280x720, that might be the scaling issue happening, hint hint
Woohoo.. another project xD

No need to thank me, i didn't work on this I just linked the apk.
Yes this is official from XBMC and its open source

This is a BETA, not official release (ok, well, technicly), and ur complainin something isn't working correct?
TubePlus isn't on official plugins list cuz it isn't working 100%, although somebody asked for a link so it was provided.
You could try adjusting some proxies, & playin with configurations for it, or wait for official support.
Consider urself lucky though, alls I get on my amaze is a black screen & ui sounds (HTC sucks..)

Vids/pics/music on XBOX

Surprised no one has talked about this at all. Anyway, happened to be watching Netflix on my XBOX last night, and while doing so, was checking out some pictures on my phone. Saw a button I never seen before that kind of looked like a little computer screen with 3 lines kind of going through it. I guess it said something like "view on another player". This apparently being the first time I was using my S3 and XBOX at the same time. So I press the button, and it stops my movie, and shows my picture on my TV!
Did some fooling around. As long as I'm using a stock music, video, or gallery app, and the file is on the phone itself, it will stream through my XBOX at the touch of a button. The free Avengers movie in Media Hub didn't work, Netflix didn't work. USB transferred an episode of Hell on Wheels over to the phone, it asked if I wanted to convert it to assure it would work on the phone and said yes, tried it out and it worked pretty good. I can only imagine how nice it would have looked if I hadn't converted it, going to try later and see.
Was just curious if anyone else has used this feature at all? Seems pretty cool to me.

I think that's DLNA.

The TV has nothing to do with it, it's going through my XBOX. It was just crazy to me because I've never been able to link my XBOX and computer properly, and I can see my computer in the gallery app sometimes but I can never see any files. I did happen to start a test on my battery while having basically everything running and all options available, so I have activated some options I normally don't use. I think one night I tried messing with the settings on my XBOX to get it to show my phone since it comes up on my roomie's PS3 although I've never tried using this feature on that before. Since I don't use my XBOX a whole lot lately, and I imagine it's possible others don't use it at the same time, I thought I'd mention it.
aNYthing, is that exactly what DLNA is? because, if so, there's a lot of people going and buying that allshare hub thing that wouldn't need to if they have an XBOX or PS3. Obviously Samsung is not going to promote that! I don't have the DLNA share option being used so it never occurred to me that it could be using it. I guess I assumed DLNA was something that was used to go directly to the TV, which in my case, is not what's happening, and definitely not possible.

on the phone. XBOX was already playing a Netflix movie. Pressed it and it stopped the movie I was watching, and a few seconds later, it appeared on my TV. Swiped to another pic, and IT popped up. Watched a short video I took the other day, it looked GREAT! As I said, I'm not really sure what I changed or if I established a link between my S3 and XBOX before or not but hey, it was pretty damn cool to me, lol.

works great on my xbox. i'm sure the file has to be compatible but you probably won't get the other viewer option if it's not anyway.
My main purpose of this post was to find other people using the same feature and if they have any tips such as, what files will work for this or what apps can use it, etc.

had no idea i could do this until i saw this thread. thank you!

You have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi and it will work.
Or you can yes double twist and it does the same thing.

I made a tut on how to do this on the PS3 but it didn't seem too many people were interested in it. Simple though get a video converter and convert the movies to mp4 standard and don't let the phone convert it on transfer leave it the way it is and it will work no matter what, the phone sends everything by means of media player so any device that allows media server wifi conection will play from this device.

[APP] XBMC on GN II

The folks at XBMC just released their newest version 12.0 "Frodo" Beta 2, and it's working great on our Galaxy Note 2. I though I'll share it with you guys, especially those who familiar with XBMC. Anyone interested can download the apk here http://xbmc.org/download/
Screenshot:

This is awesome. With HDMI out, I now have a portable Media center. No need to run it off of my PC.
Sent from my SGH-T889 hot! PhoTab

Awesome. Great catch! My only issue with it is that it doesn't seem to want to detect the S-pen. For instance, when I was adding my media paths took out the s-pen to tap the folders and nothing. No screen tap detection. Anyone else having that issue?
Also, it took me a second to locate my external SD. Selecting external media actually takes you to the internal "sdcard" I had to go root filesystem, storage, extsdcard. My first Samsung device (been a HTC guy since the blue angel) so perhaps this is the norm but throwing that out there for those who may not know.

I can confirm that s-pen doesn't work with this app. But nonetheless, its still a great program. Since this app is still in beta, it could only get better.

In case you didn't find it- it's all in the setup...
For anyone who may not know xbmc stands for:
X-Box Media Center (of which it was(/is?) originally a port)
There are tons of add-ons you can install. Getting it fully setup can become an on-going evolution.
By hooking your device up to your TV & running this app you can essentially cancel your cable subscription and replace it with xbmc
There are also some additional skins & add-ons which can be found & downloaded elsewhere with a regular browser and installed from within the app (meaning: you can't get to everything that is truly available for this app from within it, although there's plenty available there...)

I use my N7 to control my htpc/xbmc. No interest in running xbmc on my N7. To me that's just overkill. With a file manager that supports SMB I can watch anything on my NAS within a few seconds. It would have made more sense for these guys to keep the xbmc app the same and simply allow you to play it on your android. I got a mini android PC and tried xbmc on it but an actual PC does a better job period.

I stream several movies not only my PC but my nexus7 as well. They even stream from navi x . to you it may not be worth it or make sense but when you want to watch a movie somewhere or you have a child that wants to watch something while you dip something it is very handy.

Maybe the wrong thread but giving xbmc remote the ability to use the default media player on an android device would be welcome feature. To have the web add on in xbmc also support playback would be great. The default web addon is pretty plain as it is.
Maybe the current dev might see this as a nice and easy feature.
