Stream Flash content from browser, tablet, etc - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Searched, but searching for flash is pretty wide open as expected.
Just looking to see if possible to stream flash videos from websites (laptop, tablet, whatever) to the AFTV. I have streaming app ie plex, youtube, etc and allcast, solidex, etc on tablet/mobile, but of course cannot find anything for flash based videos...
thanks

Use the pushbullet addon for XBMC/Kodi. First create a pushbullet account. You simply signin using your gmail account. Now install the pushbullet addon in XBMC and authorize it, which takes about 30 seconds to do. Now go to your program addons and go into the pushbullet settings and setup things to interupt playback or nothing will play instantly, then setup things to play instantly. Now all you have to do is install pushbullet on all your devices you want to send and recieve things. I personally use the firefox bushbullet plugin cause I can simply hit the pushbullet icon and send it directly to any device. If you wanna send from an android device, install pushbullet from the play store. To send web videos, go the page the video you wanna watch is on, share the page with pushbullet and send it to whatever device you have pushbullet installed on. It does not work for sending videos from every site, but it does work for a lot of sites, not just popular sites. The best part is that it is all done throuh your gmail so you do not need to worry about being connected to the same router.

application to send pics. from phone to internet?

does anyone know if there is a program out there that will send my pictures on my phone onto an internet picture hosting website? ie: iflickr, photobucket, etc. i remember when i had an iphone, there was a program for iflickr, where i could send pics. from my phone directly into my iflickr account. is there such a similar program out there for the xperia? TIA!
There's a good few; though there are 2 that I've had experience with, and can recommend solidly, depending on what you want.
Dashwire is the one that SE have promoted, by releasing a panel. The panel is crap, but the application works wonders. It runs in the background from the moment you turn your phone on, and synchronises your phone with its own online service, allowing you to synchronise contacts, missed calls, messages (message sync is buggy though), mobile bookmarks, as well as photos and videos. It doesnt synchronise with services like facebook of flikr, but you have your own profile page, which you can choose via the online private dashboard to make your pictures public.
My favourite though is Shozu. Shozu you CAN send to all your favourite internet services, and more. it has the ability also to interact with the services you use via feeds, for example on facebook, you can get your friends' status updates. Via shozus interface, you can choose the services you wish to incorporate with your phone, including secondary relay services if you choose (meaning one snap can send to both facebook AND flikr), and then when you take your photo, you are prompted "do you want to send...". within moments, your photo is on facebook!
I would well reccomend either, although based on what i've told you above, each has alot of differentiation, for example dashwire sends ALL photos, shozu asks for permission. Dashwire hosts on its own service, shozu syncs with popular ones. Shozu is limited to what it synchronises, dashwire sync's your PIM.
Its your own call, but those are the ones id recommend.

application to upload media to vox, facebook, etc

after a hard reset, for some reason, none of my applications that connect to my video blogs or facebook gets connected. shozu, vox mobile, the facebook upload fix, all of them stopped working - they cannot get connected to their servers, or something, although my internet connection works just fine.
does anyone know another good application that can help me upload media files to the internet, except for shozu?
thanks!

Whats New in WP7?

source: http://mango.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/start/whats-new-in-windows-phone.aspx
The latest release of Windows Phone, code-named "Mango," has hundreds of improvements and new features. Here's a sampling of the smart, the fun, and the just plain cool.
Phone
Custom ringtones. You asked for it, we built it—now you can create your own ringtones using MP3 and WMA files.
Visual voicemail. No time to listen to rambling voicemails? Give them a quick read instead.
New Speech commands. Send a text with just your voice! That's right: with Speech, you can text, search the web, and lots more, totally hands- (and sometimes eyes-) free. Your phone can even read you an incoming text, and then you can use Speech to dictate and send your reply.
Email + messaging
Thread. Start with a text, and finish in Facebook or Messenger chat (or vice versa). The whole conversation stays in one thread, and all it takes to switch back and forth is a tap.
Conversation view. If you're fed up with deleting emails one by one or sifting through your inbox for related messages, then conversation view—emails grouped by subject—is for you. If you'd rather see your emails individually, you can still do that, too.
Linked inboxes. Juggling multiple accounts for personal or work email? Streamline things by linking them into a single inbox to see all the messages in one view (the accounts will stay separate).
People + social networking
Groups. Groups help you focus on the contacts you really care about—family, best friends, fellow soccer parents. You can pin your top Groups to Start to see everyone's latest status updates and to send quick texts, emails, or IMs to the whole Group.
More ways to share. You've got great new options for posting to social networks from your phone, including Facebook check-ins, video sharing, and sharing a link right from Internet Explorer.
More social networks. Never be out of the loop again: Twitter and LinkedIn are now built into Windows Phone, so practically everything you do on your social networks is a tap away. And don't worry—we've also included new ways to filter all those new contacts and their social updates.
A better Me card. It's all about Me—and the Me card is now one of the most useful spots on your phone for staying in touch with your friends and keeping tabs on your social networks.
History view. Contact cards now show the history of your recent calls, emails, texts, and chats with the person. Just tap in the list to return the call or go to the thread.
Smarter apps
Multitasking. Keep your place in a game while reading email? Check. Listen to music apps while texting? You bet. Many apps can run in the background, so you don't need to shut one down to use another—plus you can switch between open apps in a flash. Learn how
App Connect. Get the app you need—sometimes before you even know you need it. Search the web, and alongside the usual results you'll see apps you can use—like a movie app when you're looking up showtimes. You'll also see photo apps in the Pictures Hub and music apps in Music + Videos.
Improved Live Tiles. The Live Tiles on Start dish up more (and quicker) updates on your apps, and they're also a whole lot of fun—the Pictures Tile animates with a slideshow of your favorite snapshots and Group Tiles flash your friends' latest updates.
More in Marketplace. Marketplace has an ever-expanding lineup of standout apps and marquee games, and it's now easier to find what you want in the online store. So start limbering up those gaming thumbs!
A cleverer calendar. Your schedule is crazy—and your phone's calendar is here to help tame it. View multiple sub-calendars within a single account, see and respond to Facebook events, and create to-dos that show up in both list form and alongside your daily appointments.
Browsing + maps
Better search. Bing helps you search the web in more ways, with voice search, Music search, and Vision search, which uses your phone's camera to look up product info.
Local Scout. Live like a local! Local Scout, powered by Bing, teams up search and mapping to show you nearby restaurants, shopping, and activities in a single tap, so you'll never feel like a clueless tourist again.
Mall maps. Desperately seeking the food court? Zoom in on the mall in Maps (or go to its Place card) and you might find an indoor map to help you track down the nachos.
Driving directions. Your Windows Phone can get you where you're going by showing you on the map or giving you directions from where you are.
Pictures + camera
Video sharing. Send them in email or post them to Facebook or Windows Live. Learn how
Picture tagging. Your phone automatically detects untagged faces when you're uploading pictures to Facebook or Windows Live—just tap, tag, and post.
Persistent camera settings. Now if you change camera settings—for instance, photo resolution, brightness, or another option your phone manufacturer might have included—you can save them for the next time you use the camera. Learn how
A redesigned Pictures Hub. The Pictures Hub just got more personal, more social, and more fun.
Music + videos
Playlists. Add songs to Now Playing and then save them as a playlist, all on your phone.
Smart DJ. Play Smart DJ mixes on your phone—or if you've got a Zune Music Pass, you can stream them from Zune.
Podcasts. Subscribe to podcasts—audio or video—on your phone.
Office Mobile
Sync with SkyDrive. You can sync your Office docs between SkyDrive and your phone, so you can edit them on your phone now, then edit some more on your computer later.
An expanded Office Hub. The improved Office Hub has more ways to view, navigate, and search for your docs.
OneNote to-do lists. Check off your errands one-by-one with this handy new feature in OneNote.
Excel improvements. Excel Mobile on your phone has easier cell selection—just tap and drag—plus AutoSum for quick calculations.
Games
A revamped Games Hub. Now you can do more in the Games Hub—including track your achievements, dress up your avatar, and get messages from your Xbox LIVE friends.
Networking
Internet connection sharing. Turn your phone into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot by sharing your Internet connection with your laptop and other devices.
Hidden Wi-Fi networks. Now you can connect to hidden Wi-Fi networks (networks that don't broadcast their network name).
My Windows Phone
Manage your phone on the web. Find a lost phone, see your pictures and Xbox stats, reinstall apps, and more on the My Windows Phone page.

Dual google accounts

Here is a video if anyone is interested in having dual accounts active on nvidia shield tv... Insrtuctions are in the description... I did this along time ago but realized alot of people didnt know how to do it... Enjoy my video!!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uijd1KtCROU
..
No I've had this way since the shield console first came out it's great for games you can switch google plus profiles to keep saves seperate... But you cant switch some games like doom and battle of sol because only the account that bought it is associated with that game... In shield hub you can log in and out of profiles with google plus now and use different profiles to purchase games
I can confirm that sideloading the GMail apk allows additional google accounts to be added to the ShieldTV. The Google Play Music app is only associated with the 'first' (or primary) account though. I have an account that is signed up for Google Play Music All Access, but use a different account for general purchases on the Play Store. So far as I can tell, I can select software to install via the web Play Store using my 'Play Store' account and have my 'Play Music' account as my primary account, and it seems to be working ok.
Hey, thanks for the tip. I can see cases that this can be useful. But I wonder the reasoning why by default they limited to a single account?
Yes, a TV is a shared object. But still, there are many ways I can use the shield having personal preferences.
Just to confirm in 2019 on a sony android TV that sideloading Gmail does indeed add another google account which can be switched to on the youtube app. I've got three accounts set up now so we don't spoil each others recommendations
I sideloaded the Gmail apk through esexplorer. Then using a mouse and keyboard I signed in with two further google accounts on the gmail by selecting "other account". When I signed out of youtube app and went to sign back in, all three accounts were available to choose from!
This info isn't easy to find on the web so just updating in case anyone else is looking for the solution
