Streaming sports and movies - Nexus 7 (2013) General

Do you stream sports or movies on your Nexus 7. If you do how? I've tried streaming through Firefox with flash player but get too much ads, the video stops playing and can't set flash to full screen. Any alternatives like sites or apps you guys use to stream?
The site I use is firstrow.

Use the AdBlock Plus addon in Firefox. Works great.

AdAway works even better for rooted devices.

I spent some of the $25 google gave me on some play store stuff including, plex, bubbleUpnp, and already had imediashare. For rendering i've got n7, galaxy nexus and an un55d7050 tv. Media players include vlc, mx player, and weeded out a couple that I didn't have much luck with.
What works best for me, the easiest, and least amount of dicking around is a combination of MX Player and BubbleUpnp. I'm streaming from an NAS on my home lan and everythig else is visible on the lan.
To make this work you'll have to screw around with handbreak (or at least I had to) to figure out what codec works best depending on what your streaming and to which renderer.
Good Luck!
Edit/ Twonky Media Server works really good as well, installed to my NAS......Yup, everything these days is pretty much dlna capable.

Stream to Apple Tv?

He's anyone successfully connected their N7 to Apple TV?? I've done some searching and tried a few suggested programs(media share, xbmc, play to) but none were successful.. a Search on Google Play brought up a couple pay for apps but without verification of hate to waste the $$$
TIA in advance

Ok I'll answer my own question lol...
I found a program on Google play that seems to work, it's played my music and videos plus can do YouTube and a few other apps (unfortunately Pandora it's not a choice) . Haven't been able to show photos from my N7 through the program yet but it's suppose to be capable..
The app is "Apple TV Media" and it's free, you just have to open a account with Zappo during the initial setup..

I use imediashare, you have just to connect nexus 7 and apple TV to same wifi connection and select any video for example YouTube video, than tipe send to, than you will see imediashare app and tap that, than the video will be shown to your Apple TV, this is the paid version of imediashare, with the lite version you have to select your videos through the app
This can be done with other media sharer

I have this app and tested on a friends ATV and it worked for you tube videos and local vids (amongst many other options) and this one can work with photos. If you have all your photos on Picasa like I do there is an option to stream from there.

Hulu Free on the Nexus 7

Hello,
Has anyone found a way to play the free Hulu videos either in the Android Browser or in a modded Hulu app? All the methods I've tried don't seem to work.
I don't have Hulu plus but I'd like to still watch the Hulu free videos that I normally can via my PC on my Nexus 7. Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I was curious about that too. What methods have you been trying?
Haven't tried Hulu, but Crackle works well, as does EpixHD (if you have it on your TV).
Splashtop to your desktop PC should work in most cases.

I've tried some method that edits libflashplayer.so, a cracked flash APK, and a couple init.d scripts but none work. Maybe its a JB issue?
And I would use Splashtop but I don't want to need to have my home PC on as well. If I could keep it on-device for the most part, it would be great

Use Netflix free for a month. South Park (1997-2011) is there.

Tried it but it's not available in my country...
Any other solutions?
Buy the episodes on DVD or blu-ray and transfer them to your n7

[Q] Netflix and youtube app

Hi,
So xbmc on the ouya is pretty much the best experience i´ve gotten so far on a small setup! love it.
But when i install the netflix apk, its really hard / impossible to navigate with the D-pad, plus the quality of the stream seems to be aimed at mobile phones. Anyone gotten a better APK where you can browse with the d-pad and get a good quality stream?
And youtube, i managed to install the youtube APK, and the streams are looking great, but i cant login, plus it seems i just find the stock mobile version, ive heard that the google tv is alot better, but does it enable log in as well?
Sorry for the wall of text, but these are the 2 missing features i really want.
I have installed the tv versions of both apps and they are easier to navigate. No problem logging in but I do have the google store mod.
Netflix quality can be poor at times.

Oh awesome thanks. I'll check it out after work. I thought that was the regular phone version for some reasons.

This was the same version I had already. It still doesn't work well with controller without touch pad and quality still sucks for a tv unfortunately

Did you ever figure this out? My wife hates me for putting for taking out our ****ty streamer and replacing it with the Ouya. On Netflix, can't scroll through right or left when picking when you want to watch and can't scroll down to select episodes of TV shows when there is more than 5-6.

The easiest solution I have found it just have a bluetooth mouse. You can just drag the screen up and down, etc as if you were touching the screen. It works pretty well.
Or you can use the touchpad of the controller to scroll. Double tab and then drag up. It's a bit sluggish but it works.
The only problem I have is that the playback stops if the controller turns itself off.
using netflix apk 1.8.1
i got the 1.8.1 working with no playback issues, and with some use of ouya control, does not pause when the control turns off.
My only gripe is the subtitles are very small... can any dev can do a modified netflix 1.8.1 apk with bigger fonts?
