bbc iplayer and tvcatchup apps (uk)

Any idea why its telling me these aren't compatible with my device? Is it just a case of waiting till they update them to work with 4.2?
Thanks and sorry if not in correct forum!

The dev probably hasn't listed the N4 as a compatible device yet.
Edit...I've sent you a pm.

I'm wondering the same. Can you please post your response in the open forum to benefit all, instead of sending PM's?

You need to side load the apk. I don't want to be distributing apks in an open forum for obvious reasons.

So I am assuming that I can use a titanium backup to restore these Apps to my nexus 4 then?

+1 - I restored a backup (from my S3) of BBC Iplayer and BBC Media Player and they work fine on my Nexus 4. Only issue is video is not 100% full screen as the soft keys do not go away when playing video. I expect this will be fixed when the app actually supports the Nexus 4. It also seemed to have issues resizing properly when I turned phone from portrait to landscape, so I had to go back to iplayer start, put phone in landscape and then start video.

[APP][OFFICIAL]MediaFire

Hi guys! Just wanna share the official MediaFire app from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mediafire.android :good:
Just released today... Apparently, not compatible with our device...
Please hit Thanks below if I helped in someway...
EDIT (01/16/2013): Mediafire updated the app to ver 1.0.1. now compatible with Nexus 7! Have fun with your free 50GB (with an upload limit of 200MB/file) :silly: oh well, at least video streaming seems to work with the app...

interesting to bad its not compatible

Thanks was looking for this app from a long time, to my dismay found its not compatible with Nexus7. Thanks for posting the apk.

Weird, the app works perfectly fine with my Nexus 7 (the one from play store)

the app is still unavailable on my n7
sounds weird
edit: on website it's available but when i try to search for it through my device i can't even see it

50GB is only for a limited time though. Can't see in the small print how long it lasts for.

That is weird...it's supposed to work now...oh well, i just updated the files in the OP so you can download and install the latest version if you haven't yet...

I had installed it on my samsung vibrant yesterday, and just transferred the apk over to my tablet, worked without issues.

I am new to android so bear with me. I started to download this app but it wants permission to access all my data and also to be able to erase all my data on sd card. What does this mean and is it dangerous? Thanks

[Q] Virgin Media TV Anywhere (UK)

Hi,
I have just installed the Virgin Media TV Anywhere App on my rooted N2, it states you can't stream media on rooted devices does anyone know how I could possibly by pass this?
thanks

Yep. Unroot your phone.

I would say your best bet is to search the forum for s thread regarding the sky go app.
In there there's lots of suggestions on how to circumnavigate this non rooted phone requirement.
Hope you succeed

Do you mind uploading the app or giving a download link I can't find the app anywhere. I'm sure there will be an xposed module that will bypass the root check

Virgin's TV Anywhere app is at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.virginmedia.tvanywhere
I would like a version that lets me run it on a rooted device too. I don't plan to lose essential functionality such as ClockworkMod backups just for the sake of watching Virgin TV (TV Catchup does most of what I want anyway) but it'd be nice to have the option.
Andre

I'm the same would like to have the functionality of virgin TV anywhere but not at the expense of non rooted. The TV remote bit works nicely but not that bothered about that. It feels like virgin half assed this app doesnt work on KitKat either but the remote part does???
Hope someone can solve this cheers guys

If its anything like Sky Go its not going to be easy

Any solutions found to this? Have tried uninstalling SuperSU and re-installing the Virgin app but it seems to remember my device is rooted and blank out the Watch button. How would I go about clearing all memory of the Virgin app?
Thanks!

i found a way to do it! method is easy... it is working... pm for details... that is confirmed streaming channels using tv anywhere on rooted device...

Just to confirm, this works with Xposed framework & Root Cloak now. Just remember to remove it from SuperUser app permissions if you inadvertently clicked OK whilst tinkering.

Still not working on KitKat phones it seems

Once you've installed what you need to, try clearing the Virgin app's data, and then your phone's Data Chache and Dalvik, and see if that helps.

No video sharing on Group Play 4.3 updated?

So I updated my mother's Note 2 with 4.3. The phone is stock and everything, my problem is and made real angry is that I wanted to show off some of the new feature that it has. So went to group play app to do the video sharing, but when I see, there isn't any video sharing to my surprise!!! What happen? I saw all those demo showing off the video sharing option with a Note 3 and a Note 2!

I was testing that out (half heartedly) with my girls GN3 and my newly OTA'd GN2 and couldn't get them to detect with the scan... just off work so I'll try a few more things and see if I can get anywhere
Edit:
So far no dice... double checked device status and Knox counter... everything is good. I did turn on my phone afterwards and noticed several app updates (most were for newer 4.3 apps) but not for group play or Samsung link...
As of right now I wasn't able to get my girls GN3 and my GN2 to recognize each other through any of the apps when referring to videos... (we also have a Samsung TV but no dongle yet)... was able to get music to play on both devices though...
Some things that I've noticed:
1. Her group play app is about half the size of mine (even though she has the GN3 and I'm on the GN2)
2. Her Group Play app is actually an older version than mine
3. Her Group Play app has an option of video sharing where mine doesnt... I only have music/documents/etc... but no video tab to share
Really the whole thing makes no sense lol... but ill continue looking around for answers... pretty stumped at this point as, like I said, they sync for music, just not videos
Something tells me the solution could be as simple as a setting, as boring as waiting for the app to update, or as complex as requiring a dev to manipulate resolution errors/compatibility issues etc and creating a work around... really no idea at this point

That app before downloading, request an insane amount of permissions that are irrelevant (in my opinion) to what it should be doing... is there a webpage, youtube video or anything else online available to show me what the app does?

This apk doesnt run as such and wont appear in your app drawer. It seems to act as more of a plugin for group play.
Seems silly to me to. I dont see why it cant be part of the app.

Did you bother to try this in the end?
If you dont trust my file you can always download a stock N3 firmware and rip the apk from that yourself

I know. You were saying it doesn't appear in the app drawer. So you need this for it to appear. I like having the app in the app drawer instead going to the gallery which takes more time.

As far as i can tell it does not effect the streaming to tv function as this worked for me both with and without the share video apk.

Hi, do you guys have any idea about this? I'm trying to make the bluetooth shortcut to work but it says this app is not installed. I didn't have this problem on 4.1.2 version.now I'm on 4.3 not rooted. Thank you.

Okay after playing around and trying to figure out how to do this I find out how. You need a smart TV that's connected to your home network. That can recognize media files from your phone. Like a media server. I have a Sony TV so I went to settings turned on near by devices and allowed my TV to look in my phone. Then go to wherever on your TV to find the media connection and browse from your TV.

it works just fine just clear the cache and data and update the app

also make sure you do not have any ad-blocking apps running on your phone. This will cause Showbox to not run as well.

+1 on ad blocker, I also experienced an app not connecting because of the ad blocker

Either disable the ad blocker app, if you don't have one....go to system/etc and look for a file called "hosts", delete it and then reboot....should work after that

Do you know if I can edit the host file? If yes, how? Thanks

You need root and a root enabled file manager with editor.

I'm not rooted yet. Not sure if I can. Been looking at the forums but there is conflicting information. I'm on MJE for Verizon. 4.3. Can I still delete hosts and use showbox? It tells me there's a connection error when there's not one. Thanks.
