[Q] RockPlayer Missing from the Android Market ?

Hi
I can't find RockPlayer on the android market does anyone know what happened to it ?

Me neither

PM me if you need a copy

it looks like they took it down a little while back?

You can get it from here.
You can also look for arcMedia in the Market, which also plays DivX files - it's not as good quality as RockPlayer IMHO, but it is good enough.
Regards,
Dave

it's on the official site, there's no need to have it elsewhere: http://rockplayer.freecoder.org/

That's very old - pre-Market release. It does seem that it has been pulled from the Market now though.

Thanks for the feedback guys but does anyone know why it was pulled from the market ?

google pulled every version apart from the ARMv6 version, i assume the dev pulled that version out of protest or somthing

AFAIK google classed the app as Warez as they did not have a licence to run the codecs it was running (or something like that). This is why its no longer in the market, and it may not make a return.

All versions have now been pulled from the market.
See this is what pisses me off about android, alot of people moan about supporting developers, well i supported RockPlayer by purchasing the full version for £10 now there no longer in the market, so i got a free app, paid extra money to support a developer i thought was actually worth investing in and now they've gone from the market, if it was there choice or googles ive had no information or comunication from RockPlayer on how or if there will be any updates from this point on or have i just given them £10 for nothing. I paid for the full Arm 7 version even though i have found a cracked version that gives the full version with the validate option removed and all the paid features added, but still thought they were worth supporting.
I hope im wrong & rockplayer will someday return, but stuff like this makes me think i should just use illegally obtained apps instead of throwing money down the drain.

We are returned as a unified package, thus users need not worry about CPU model things, please search RockPlayer now in Market. And it is always available on our website anplayer.com .
Would you please share me any original words or info from Google side? Indeed they didn't gave email notification or any explanation, even we complained through Market support page. We guess it is because our app cannot run on all CPU, there are so many video players using FFmpeg, but seems we are only one distinct CPU for performance.

Zune 4.7 Download - WP7 Marketplace Live

Just in case anyone was wondering, the Zune client has been updated to 4.7. I don't see any live download links, looks like you need to already have the Zune software installed, and it'll auto-check for updates.
Some nice changes, and the Marketplace for Windows Phone 7 is also live so you can take a look at some of the apps currently available. This just gets me real excited.
That being said, anyone wonder why the Marketplace would be open when no devices are even available. I wonder if devices will be available sooner than we think...
Update: It looks like apps keep getting added and added as time moves on. There were only a handful of apps 10 minutes ago, and now there are a bunch more.
Update 2: Download link! The FULL Zune Client 4.7 package.

Wow, good discovery. Updating now.
edit: Whats strange is a lot of the apps are already reviewed. I dont get it o.o

Well technically the phone has been in testing/use for months now, so i'm sure those reviews are all from internal testers, developers, and the lucky few who get to test out these devices.

awesome, I will be upgrading my software tonight after work There will be phones available in the US on AT&T by Nov 8 and sooner in Europe I believe.

Does anyone have any word on how the Zune software will check it's location? I have a US Zune Pass for my Zune 80 but I'm currently living in the Netherlands (the pass is run on my American bank account). To get the Zune marketplace to show on my desktop I had to set my computer location in Windows to US.
Now the big question is: will a WP7 phone just believe my american hotmail or will it do some nasty IP checks or SIM code checks? I would love to have my Zune account directly connected to my phone, so I'm guessing this will be the deal breaker for me.

Not many apps on the marketplace. How are they suddenly going to have 2000 apps (as stated) on the app store by launch date next week? Confused.

No worries, there are still testing...think about the Netflix, IMDB, Ebay, twitter apps, they are all announced and not there. I think we will see much more 21st ongoing...

Many of the apps are still going through the curation process.

Hmm, how do you see the apps? Do you have a device connected?

just go to the marketplace and click on apps.

Or if you already have the Zune Player (which I downloaded last week) Windows Update will give you the 4.7 update. I installed it last night.

What's your country set to in windows? Maybe try changing that and reloading the zune software and see if it works?

Changing Location setting to United States worked, thanks for the great tip!

I think you need to change your computers region to a country where the marketplace is launched, e.g. UK or US.

Installed Zune Software for the first time yesterday.
I like it!

Um, I've had Zune 4.7 for a week now (or more..?).. I just clicked the update button and it did it for me.. so don't know what all the fuss is about. There was about 200 apps when I checked about 4/5 days ago, and as of last count they have 409 apps. Which certainly beats the Zune HD count of like 30 in over 1 year lol.
A few of the app's aren't displaying their picture which is annoying, but it will get there. With 4/5 days left till the launch, I'm not sure if they will get to 2000, but they most certainly are doing a decent job of going about it so far.
Some of the app's look pretty useless, and might never get used, but the xbox live games look GREAT. Can't wait to test this out in a week.
Lack of gaming apps does bother me a bit though.
EDIT: I don't know why but the Zune Software seems a bit sluggish to me now.. it can't be my computer.. its an Alienware so it's fast. Don't know why it lags at times.. it used to be speedy.

Netflix in the UK

Now Netflix is launched in the UK, I expected to be able to download Netflix in the UK marketplace, but it doesnt appear to have been added.
Does anyone have the Netflix XAP? So I can sideload it onto my phone.

Just FYI ive tried this form the usa XAP but it just hangs after enter my details,, maybe it will come soon

Yeh, I managed to get it too. I also have the same problem, just keeps trying to log in, but nothing happens.

I've been trying the US app since the day Netflix launched, and I've not been able to log in. Eventually, if you keep the phone alive long enough, it'll give a login failed message.
Maybe they're waiting to release a Mangofied version of the app, since the current version doesn't support resuming and stuff?

Just a heads up this is in the marketplace now

This is the link to Marketplace online. You can get it from here if you can't see it on your phone yet.

Downloaded but very disappointed that it requires a log in to do anything at all.
Would have been much better if you could browse the contents and app.

You'll be disappointed much more: Netflix also requires a monthly payment
P.S. You should be kidding, correct?

I was quite impressed, would like the ability to preload for watching later though,

Netflix requires a login before the person can even use the app in contrast to HTC Watch or the new 7Digital app for example which lets you view the contents of the markets and lets you play demos.

NETFLIX cannot be compared to HTC Watch. NETFLIX > HTC Watch in terms of streaming and contents.

Netflix is always (as far as I can remember) offering a free month of service. You also may get paid for that month (via eBay, Bing etc. - google for that). So, I believe it's more than enough for adult (who has a valid cc and can legally sign for service). Of course for child or teen it's a big obstacle

[Q] Downloading Appx for offline install?

I understand that when you download an app/game for install the source link is an appx file which is automatically installed and deleted.
Is there anyway to download the appx files to be installed later?

If so, they're almost certainly DRMed the same way that they are on WP8. You might be able to use it to install on a device with poor Internet connectivity - though I actually don't think MS bothered to implement this - but you would definitely need *some* connection to verify the license.

Even for free apps?

Probably easier for microsoft to apply DRM globally across all apps than have a system to distinguish between paid and unpaid apps.

What about packaging appx files based on the appx/games that I downloaded on the Surface directly?
Disney is having a bunch of temporarily free games which I don't really need at this point of time. It'd be great if I could package the downloaded files for future installing.

Just "buy" the free apps now; you can always re-install them later (and you won't be charged, as you'll already "own" them).

So why not to combine theese app en one ?

Because not the same Dev

Oh, no!.. The only WP advantage on these days is an absence of the dangerous mobile virus called "Pokemon Go", which also affects humans: normal young people (iPhone/Android handset owners) instead of dating, making love, listen music, learn something new, play sports games are starting walk like a zombies watching their smartphones screens only.
So, guys, stay away, it's dangerous work!

Petitions means nothing in the business world so don't waste your time. "Niantic" have a lot of marketing people (I'm pretty sure! Much more than software professionals with clouds and large scale backend experience ) and they already made a verdict...

Of course it means nothing, Microsoft failed to convince business with UWP. I was just pointing how little support has received.

Well, I don't use BS on my PCs as I don't need em, I have few Droid devices around. I even uninstalled the game, cause it takes a lot of time, however I did wanted to try it on Lumia.
Yes both (Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.1.0.appx and Microsoft.VCLibs.ARM.Debug.14.00.appx) selected. I found somewhere that apps must be installed on mass storage(?) which is not option for L1020.
