[APP] - Tv.com

Just downloaded a new App from the market called Tv.com... For those missing the Sprint TV app, this is a very good replacement... and it is free!
Be sure to check it out...

Yup, very good app. I'm on edge and the videos still load pretty quick. Only downside is it's a cbs app so channel listing is rather limited.

Great start! I wish it wasn't just clips of Showtime shows. Hope more gets added.

I searched tv.com but couldnt find anything
Is it a free or paid app?

its free but with 2 major downfalls..
1 every shows is made into 1-2 minute clips which is annoying as hell to watch.
2. it does not make use of the full screen its like youyube used to be when you were not on wifi

Very nice. The resolution is way better than the Sprint TV app, sound quality is good, and I'm not seeing skips or pixelations.
Now if only the other networks would work on their offerings plus have Netflix streaming... oh to dream...

So where can I download this? What do I search?

S.W.A.G (US)

I couldn't find this posted anywhere, so i apologize if this has been stated before (yes i did search).
I just wanted to let everyone know that the US edition of the Nexus 4 came with a bunch of free media. Highlights include:
Complete season 1 of BBC's Planet Earth (was selling in play store $20+)
Complete season 1 of Falling Skies (prob $20 bucks ish, but i never looked, nor did i even know anything about this show)
Transformers (Free again, if you never got it with the Nexus 7)
Couple books, magazines and singles.
See attached image (note that the all the single songs included couldn't fit in the image)
******EDIT******
Sorry guys- Just realized (as pointed out below)- It showed in the video ap that all the episodes are listed, but that was just suggestions.
So they just gave us 1 episode free of each season plus the movie, books and songs.
Again sorry for misreading it.

Thank you for this. I was wondering how I got the movie transformers. I kept looking to make sure I wasn't charged for the movie. Lol. This was bugging me bad. It must have come with my Nexus 7

So did I o.o, I wondered why I was able to play it without paying.

I checked and the Planet Earth and Falling Skies are only for the first episodes.
Thanks for the heads up on the free content though:good:

The books and music are given to UK users as well.

Very cool! Thanks for the info.

that planet earth looks AWESOME on this screen.

hmm seems like you can't watch them if you're rooted

When I try to load a video it says
"couldn't fetch license"

I'm rooted and can't seem to load these either.

It's just the first episode that we get for free

When I try to watch planet earth it prompts me to purchase HD or SD for $1.99 or $2.99. How do get books and movies free?

Sweet! This means I can instantly start watching some HD content on that crisp 320ppi display once I get the phone! If Google ever restocks of course...

Yea sucks that they don't work if rooted, but at least we can still see them from the comp.

I am rooted also and have no issue watching the free media. Those with issues, what method did you use to root your phones?
I flashed CWM and SU/Busybox like in this thread after OTA, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993331 and have had no issues.

You re right, I rebooted and it works. Don't know why it wasn't working before

One disappointment

Love gear vr but I was hoping to be able to at least download and watch movies that are semi current. At least I thought I could watch Google play movies in vr.
After watching the demos, there's not much else to do (not into games. Just movies which is why I purchased)

You can add your downloaded movies to the sd card folder titled " Oculus/movies/myvideos"
I bought it for the same reason.

But where can I download movies.... Like movies just out of theater?

I use torrent pro, its the best full featured torrent downloader I have found for android, PM me for more info.

thanks for the tip...but have no interest in downloading anything i dont pay for....

Huh? Didn't mean to be an ahole but is downloading movies from certain sites the only way? Is there a plan to have some kind of store. Not judging anyone here just hoping there is a way I can purchase easily lime playstore. I'm paranoid about putting myself at risk for a 7$ movie. Lol

This is why they reiterate that this is for developers and not consumers. There's no reason to be disappointed if you read what it could do right now before buying. The consumer wish list might come true tomorrow, or might not happen for awhile or ever on this edition.

Yes the upcoming services Littlestar and Milk VR lets you stream 360 videos and the app M-Go Advance lets you buy/rent current movies.

It would be much easier if one of the VR video player supported Ultraviolet DRM (most Blu-ray releases let you download an MP4 with this type of protection).
Until we have that or a native store, you could always pay for the movie, then feel alright with downloading it. If you prevent seeding (by setting an upload cap of 0 perhaps), you're not contributing to others downloading without paying. It's totally a moral gray area, but something you could consider if you're really dedicated to buying movies to watch in VR (in a roundabout way); and definitely something for torrenters to consider now and then (paying for discs or downloads, that is ).
There's probably going to be more free content out there as time goes on, too. It's a small trickle now, but I've been seeing more and more 360 video interest, manufacturers, and content over the past several months.

Finally burned a cd and converted to mp4. Works well but takes too long. I'm not the type to spend 30 mins making a compatible movie.

Using Gear VR from INDIA

hi friends. i am using Indian Note 4. i bought the Gear VR from Australia. initially i had lots of doubts regarding Device compatibility, as in India this kind of technology is very new and there won't be enough sources to help me in ease. so i decided to gather information from US, UK, Australia(currently Gear VR released in these places only). and i would like to share these with you all. especially to my fellow Indians.
First.
1. Gear VR (US,UK,Australia) Supports Indian Note 4(Lollipop). but prefer Australian model because it has the same model (SM-N910G)
2. Gear VR does not Shows videos is Full HD...not even 720P. it comes roughly around 480P but worth experiencing.
3. As Milk VR is only limited for US, i tried using it by faking my VPN. i tried with Hola App from play store. changed the region to US and Milk VR supports now.(No need of ROOT). but to use Milk VR in Gear VR, u need hola app to run in background which leads me to connect with Wifi or mobile network whenever i'm into Milk VR.
4. i am still trying to find a way to play 360 videos available in Youtube, but there are lot of 360 videos to download from various sites. i prefer airpano.com (Using IDM i am able download those videos and play it in Gear VR). Ultra HD 360 videos are not supported.
5. Gear VR has support to play all your mobile videos and photos. MP4 has support, but MKV is not supporting.
6. Mobile gets heated pretty quick while playing games. which leads me to remove my VR to cool down.
7. Battery Charge is reduced depending upon what you are watching. for movies it lasts for more than an hour, for games 20min max.
8. Gear VR can play all cardboard apps from Google Play Store but you need to attach the mobile without plugging the USB port.
9. Gear VR can be used to Play Porn Videos in 360. but still it is hard to find free videos. virtualrealporn.com has 360 and 180 videos but all are paid ones.
10. Most important thing. Back up all the contents available in the memory card came along with Gear VR. if you are using CCleaner app, it deletes all the contents. u can copy paste all the contents to your existing memory card. but remember it should be pasted in the root folder of your SD card.
That's all for now. please share your ideas and contents if you have anything to offer. Thanks.

thank you for this info I am from India too can we order it online? ?
if yes from where? I need it too if not online any other way to purchase ( I don't have anyone who can buy for me in US etc)

Hey Vijay,
Thanks a lot for your valuable info. Had a lot of doubts regarding the compatibility issues with indian note 4. Saw your post and ordered through my cousin who came from the US last week. Glad to tell you that it works like a charm. The device just blows you away. It is an instant hit with all my family and friends. Its fun to watch other people tripping on it.:victory:
The Hola app is very useful for surfing content on the Milk vr.
The only issue I'm facing is the overheating problem. It works for about 20 min till I have to remove it for cooling it down.
Thanks Vijay,
Wouldn't have got this gem of a device if it wasn't for your post.
Cheers!!!

Thanks for the review.
I got the Gear VR for the note 4 from USA.
issue is that , when I try to download the firmware for the phone(after connecting it to the Gear VR). It keeps failing with a "network error".
Do I need to be running on a specific kernel or the stock kernel should be sufficient (I have the Indian snapdragon note 4)

V

"Download the firmware"???? do u mean the installation process of Gear VR Apps??? btw i have not tried custom kernel yet. stock kernel should work fine in Indian Model Note 4. u may actually have network error it seems.

Thanks for sharing the information mate, i am also from India, samsung has released Consumer version of the gear vr today, any Idea if it would be compatible with samsung s6 edge+ which i have bought here in India, does it require any specific software update which will not be available in India?
Thanks

Yes it is compatible with s6 edge +

Can't Watch Own Videos ?

Hello Everyone
I have got my S7 Edge and my free Gear VR
I would like to watch my own video and movies on it which I believe I should be able to do.
For the life of me I cannot get it to work.
My S7 edge has a 200gb memory card in it so how on earth do I get it to work ..... its driving me nuts
I have followed guides online but still it wont see any of my videos.
The Gear VR even says " to watch your own videos just copy them to your phone " ..... AAAAGGGHHHH !!!! I am but it wont see them never mind play them.
Maybe that's why they gave them away for free with the pre-order of the phone.
I feel like an idiot because I'm normally quite good at this type of thing but I have been trying for days now and it has me beat !!
Thank You for any help

Don't think it deserves a new topic, so here i go:
My own videos (which i can watch normally with oculus video) are not shown in any of the "theatre" mode, like home cinema, cinema, ant, moon, whatever. All i can see is my video like it was watch just in VOID mode. Any way to see it in other modes as well?

Download VR Gallery from vr store and watch all ur gallery
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

The best and easiest way: First of copy your movies in folder name "Movies" wherever you like, either SD card or internal memory. You can also creat folders there i.e. 3D, 360 Videos, My videos etc. Then connect your mobile to VR and download app "Oculus Video". Open it then look at the bottom left "MY VIDEOS". You will find all your stuff there. Goodluck
