[Q] HD movies source - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How is the image quality/resolution of the movies from the Play Store?
Is there a better source for HD movies, either rental or buy?
It doesn't look like Amazon will suport the N10, correct?
Is Ultraviolet any good?

The play store movies and videos offer very good image quality and have recently been optimized for the nexus 10's high resolution display. Google plays video quality is high enough as it is but 1080p Blurays might offer you better quality. Amazon doesn't seem to support it now but it may in the future, you could always download the video then use a video converter such as handbrake to convert it for the nexus 10. Ultraviolet is so-so it's not as mature or perfected as Netflix or Amazon instant videos and many people I know have had bad experiences with it.

Looks like Ice Age HD is included with our Nexus 10. So far the quality for this movie really looks good. Can't complain.

Has anyone tried amazon instant video streaming appon nexus 10?

I tried using the app from the link below. It opens up but crashes when I try to watch a movie. I tried signing on through the browser but it didn't help. I should say that I don't have prime yet. I'm thinking on buying it if I can use it on my nexus 10.

I don't think steaming works yet, but you could download the videos Amazon offers then convert them to play on the nexus 10. Also the app you mentioned hasn't been updated to work with jelly bean which would probably explain the force closes your getting.

If you run a plex media server on a desktop, you can add an amazon instant video channel and then watch it from your plex app on your tablet.

Thank you very much guys! I still don't understand why amazon won't make an app for android. it should be easier than releasing one for iOS.

[Q] Audio/Video out of sync?

Has anyone experienced any audio/video syncing problem? I have noticed this problem with streaming video (mainly youtube, I am located in Europe and I have no access to Netflix or Hulu) and with video files played with media players (like stock, rockplayer, mx video player). I have also noticed that there is a different amount of lag with different types of files but there is always some lag.
I have experienced this using both the stock amazon rom and cm7.
Is there anyone else with this issue or is something wrong with my fire?
I had this issue with Netflix today.

My Netflix is off as well. Unfortunate indeed....I want to go back to stock from cm7 and see if it works better on stock.

I am stock, never been rooted.
I had some sync issues when trying to play certain codecs or videos of certain resolutions, seems kind of random though.
I have this issue with almost all video. Netflix is always out of sync, and most videos from the internet as well. Did a side by side of same exact video with a Samsung Galaxy 7.0 (not plus), and all video was perfect on it. Im boxing it up and sending it back. Sucks because I really wanted to like it.

Hey I just installed Cyanogen on my Fire and it is no longer out of sync. So this proves that it is a software issue and that Amazon needs to fix it.
In on cm7 and mine is still out of sync

video working with VPlayer (2012-01-19 Sound1-19.zip) :)

I just want to inform that video is working with VPlayer, I play a .avi file and the sound has some delay but I don't know if it happens the same with cm7
I used 2012-01-19 Sound1-19.zip
Thanks to all developers
Try MX instead, has better performance. But why did this deserve its own thread?

I have sound working with a vid of .wmv on MOBO player. ICS 2012-01-19 Sound1-19.zip
Likely using the cpu and no hardware acceleration. Stuff that needs or requires hardware accelerations, youtube, Netflix, etc... do not work.
You have to use SW acceleration to make it work.
HW is still broken.

You Tube offline watch it later. Possible ?

The last version of youtube enables the preloading (caching) of all the videos you add in the watch later playlist. But it needs to be online in order to play them, for some crappy reason. Is there a way to bypass that and play all the videos in "watch later" while offline?
Some info on this feature and the crap reason.
YouTube, careful to draw a distinction between this and total downloading of its vids (which breaks its terms of service), is careful to point out that you’ll still need to be online for the first second when you press play.

Guys, he doesn't want a YouTube downloader. He wants to be able to play the video the official YouTube app caches but while offline. OP, I didn't know you could do this, I'll look around for a way.

I can't get on WiFi at the moment but, I'm thinking that YouTube would store the videos on your phone. I'm thinking in the /data partition under one of the YouTube apps folders. I'll check later tonight once I have WiFi.

Just use a YouTube down loader. I know its one extra step but if its worth the extra step then do it.
Use PVSTAR+ as player - it searches and shows youtube vids, and stores them in a cache. You can also copy them out of the cache and they are normal mp4 files. (it also has a mp3 mode, which only downloads the music part it seems). The app also runs in background and with screen off. Completely replaced youtube app with it.
(it also searches on dailymotion and i think you can add other sites)

[Q] Nexus 7 and Mac/iTunes

Hey everyone!
Well my girlfriend just bought me a new Nexus 7 for xmas. I run strictly Mac OS X as I do a lot of graphic design.
Well I have had an iTunes gift card for a while now however Apples DRM stops me from transferring music, movies, and books onto any system other than iOS.
Is there any well known apple based software that will allow me to remove apples drm for books, music, and movies? Im not really concerned on price of the software, however the closer to free, the better.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I found "Calibre" which supposedly does books, however it wont find any books that i have on iTunes.
Thanks a bunch!
Itunes music should be drm free, then u export them with itunes to the .mp3 format. I would highly reccomend using the google play music "scan and match"or amazon cloud player.

Roku with Nexus 7 2012

Looking for a straight answer on this as I can't get the info in black and white from Google searches .
I have a 2012 Nexus 7.
I may get a Roku 2
Can I play a movie that I have downloaded on my 2012 nexus 7 on the big screen, via the roku?
So say I have .... Alien 3, on my nexus 7 2012, I wanna put that image on the main TV, can the roku 2 accommodate this?
Cheers guys

no you can´t Roku only supports video streaming on IOS...
and the rest is also not possible with the Roku, get a miracast device, that would work better for you!

Doesn't Chromecast only play movies you have bought from the Play Store? I've made legitimate copies of TV series that I keep on my tablet. The $35 Chromecast is better than a miracast device for the price but only if it can do what I'd like.

You can play any media on your tablet with chrome cast using the app avia or real player cloud.. I use the app show box to download TV shows. Works great...

OK I'll track down a chromecast then if it'll do what I need. I don't have a smart TV yet so at the moment if I'm sat on the sofa and download a movie on the nexus7 I have to go hooking up the 7 to a laptop to transfer file to that, then HDMI from that to TV and its a bit of a pain at times lol
I thought the roku supported what I'm trying to do from another bunch of stuff I stumbled on through Google searches see but, I'll go chromecast

You can push media to the Roku using an app called Juice for Roku. It's on the Playstore and on the Roku side you use:
owner.roku.com/add/juice
...to install the app on to the Roku.
One of these may have a one-time fee associated with it.
