I have been trying all day to get this working, downloading program after program, which proved to be nothing but a waste of time and aggravation of nerves. I want to be able to stream media then and there, without having to save it first. I tried tcpmp, wvd, flash lite 3.1, and al lthe plugins, still nothing. When i go to a website it keeps telling me i either don't have java enabled or flash is missing. i even got flash 7, still said the same thing. I mean youtube is pretty smooth, via you tube app, but if i am reading an email and i click on the link, it goes to stupid streaming media and doesn't even load. BOOO!
I am a CDMA Telus Diamond user. Is there anything I can do to just freely watch media on the web. I go through opera sites, still bummer. I have been on this all day, and am rather exhausted. If you can offer help, please do so without reproachful scorn. Much appriciated. What should I download, and how should i work it. Any chance of making pornhub work?
I recently came back to the HTC fold after a year of uing Nokias by being given a Diamond for my Christmas and I've given my wife my N95. I have spent the last week searching various forums to try and solve the following problem.
I used to use my old phone to watch programmes I had downloaded from the BBC Iplayer site. I presumed it would be as easy as using Windows media player on my PC to sync the content to the Diamond as I could do with my old XDA Mini S. Unfortunately it's not !! I keep being hit with error messages saying that it requires a licence. I have tried downloading it with iplayer downloader and renaming the .mov file to mp4 which at least gives me picture but no sound on the Diamond. It is all the more galling when I see my daughter just dragging and dropping content onto her Creative Zen mp4 player and it plays without any hassle.
If someone could suggest a simple and hopefully guaranteed method I would appreciate it. I ahve searched the forum for this but all the threads relate to streaming content to the phone. This isn't really an option because I am on Orange with a pretty meagre data package.
Second that...
Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that one too. I can play iPlayer programmes on the device via the video streamer thanks to the information in this forum, but I get the same lisence error if I try and play a programme I've downloaded on my PC... even though the download actually says it's for mobile devices?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

You'll have to search the forum for that one my friend... I can't remember where I saw the information. You have to update one of the settings in Opera to fool iPlayer into thinking your device is a Samsung Omnia, then visit the mobile iPlayer site and click away. The videos stream throught the pre-installed video streaming app on the device. (At least pre-installed in stock ROM's, if you're using a custom ROM then the cooker may have removed it!)
Happy searching!
The device needs to support playback of DRM protected content, to be able to playback the stuff downloaded from Iplayer. (something like that)
Thanks for that
It's not the streaming of programmes I'm trying to do it's playing files I have already downloaded and want to transfer to my Diamond

Have you tried coreplayer ?
Not the answer to the original question I know but a bit of info for streaming iplayer direct from the BBC website. I use Skyfire browser which is fine, and pretty quick.
Problem resolved
I did as suggested and installed coreplayer and I can play the content. I'll go through what i did because I'm not entirely sure that Coreplayer resolved the problem or no.
I downloaded Coreplayer and installed it on the phone. Because I had deleted the previous downloads I used my daughters laptop to transfer a programme she had downloaded to her Creative Zen. After I transferred it to my phone I went into File Explorer and clicked on the programme rather than opening in Coreplayer it opened in Windows media player. A warning popped up as usual "A licence is required to play this file" and it offered to download it as before. I thought "here we go again it'll fail to get the licence and won't play" but surprise surprise it played fine. Now I'm not sure if Coreplayer installs a codec that allows these files to play or whether the phone got a licence off my daughters laptop that was designed for the Creative Zen but bottom line is that it works. So I'm happy
Hey,
Looked around and didn't see anything on this so I'm posting.
I get this error whenever I try and use the 'Instant Mix' in the play music app. Honestly, I don't care about it but it seems to need to work right in order for me to use the 'Touchless control' to start playing music using my voice...which would be pretty cool!...if it worked.
I read on another site to add a payment method through google play but that didn't work.
any help would be appreciated! Thanks all!

Noticed this as well. My friends Nexus 5 seems to handle the "play this" command quite well. My moto x seems to look for a instant mix and play it.
Tried the "play this" and the same thing happens...well, what happens is that the app just closes and go backs to the home screen.
"Couldn't prepare instant mix. Please try again." <- A bug I've been trying to fix for a long time...
I too have been frustrated with this error, but it didn't start with my Moto X. I also had this problem with my previous phone, a Nexus S, yet there is a surprising lack of information on the error when googled.
For troubleshooting, here is my environment:
AT&T Moto X, official 4.4, rooted
Google play music up to date (as of 12/13/2013)
all music (about 6 gigs) is on the phone, none on google music cloud. All songs have good album, artist, genre, albut art, etc 'tags'
I tried rebooting and clearing data on google play music
I verified my location and signed up on google.com/music yesterday, added a few songs and sync'd, but that did not help
Sometimes my "Im feeling luck mix" works, sometimes it doesn't. My library -> songs -> shuffle always works fine
Does anyone get the error with their music stored on google's music cloud?

I have most of the music stored on google play music in the cloud and some locally on my phone. When attempting to create an instant mix, only cloud stored music seems to work. Locally stored files give an error. Also making and loading instant mixes seem to only work with an active internet connection, even if the cloud files are set to have offline access.
So no ideas?...=(...no one else having this problem?...or no one cares about using voice to play music? Maybe a good music player that supports voice? I found 'Clean Music' but not a very robust player.
Well you could try this if you have xposed installed. Its a module that let's you say "play music" and it will just start playing whatever was loaded in play music previously. Works for me.

Sounds interesting...do I have to root or anything? I'm reading through the framework thread and looks like there is a risk of a soft brick...=(
Well you have to be rooted to install the xposed framework and as with anything, there is a chance of a soft brick. Look at some of the other threads to find info on rooting. Works great for me!

Instant mix
Hi,
I've got the same problem on my nexus 5, and what I've found is this:
- When you try to start an instant mix when you've got an internet connection, it'll only play music stored online. (so it won't start if you've got nothing stored in the cloud)
- When you start an instant mix without internet access, it will work (but of course only the music stored on your device will play)
The voice commands only work when you've got an internet connection, so I'm guessing it won't start an instant mix with music stored on your device either? I haven't been able to try it with music stored online, cause I don't have a valid payment method for the service..
So I think it will work when you try the voice command for music stored online?
Can anyone verify that?
I just tried this as I do have a couple songs I've purchased through Google Play...but it didn't seem to work. I went to a song not on the device and selected "Start Instant Mix" and got the same error. I then turned on Airplane Mode, went to a song on the device and tried and same error. =(

Can't start instant mix
Hmm..
I've read somewhere that you need more than a few songs stored online to be able to start an instant mix, so maybe it's that..But I don't really think that's the problem though..that would be stupid
Does starting an "I'm feeling lucky mix work" with you? (online/offline?)
Can you start a specific song (stored online of course) with voice commands?
why o why do they install it on all nexus devices (and more?), when it doesn't even work properly?
Manually update Google play music
Although this thread has been inactive for a bit, the problem for me at least had not resolved itself. After months of ignoring it finally decided to look for a solution. So I'll post here if anyone else still has issues.
The solution is simple but annoying. Had to manually update the player. This should have happened automatically, through play store app but for some reason my Moto X was supposedly up to date on some version of 5.5 when a simple googling session says that play music had been past 5.6 for a while. So anyway I downloaded the latest copy i could find (5.6.1623P.1416251), it installed fine, and now the problem seems to have gone away even with mobile data enabled, which is required anyway for touchless control.
I had nothing online and was getting this error. There's a 'downloaded only' option in the settings that I checked and that brought instant mix back to life for me, although now called shuffle, so would seem to be an online problem I think
I had same problem,
What you need to do is to go on play store > apps > my apps > all > google play music > update
v5.5.1623P adds ability to search public playlists
now u can say "ok google now play some music" and see what will happen
Use the cloud

All you have to do is delete all your songs from your phone... use the internet from a computer... and upload your entire catalog to the cloud using the Google Play Music website/app. You can put up to 20,000 songs there for free. (That's a lot of albums!!) Everything about the app is better after you do this. You can use Chromecast, all album art shows up, etc.
I just want to point out how stupid it is that this is what you have to do to make this product work. Why can't we just put our our music on an SD card and get the same results? Maybe in a few years after they update the app 5,000 more times.

I faced the same problem, and what I did was I manually updated the Google Play Music app.
In the Google Play Store>My Apps>All , search the Google Play Music and I found out that it had an update but strangely the notifications never shown automatically. So I updated the app and now I can fire up music from my moto 360.
ONE SOLUTION
I haven't seen this solution posted anywhere, so here is what fixed it for me:
Play Music App -> Menu -> toggle Downloaded only
After toggling it started creating instant mixes.
If you are playing local music only, just switch the switch in the app, which says "Downloaded only" and instant mix will work !

My friend has a stock S3 mini and is trying to use bubblebupnp to stream from his phone to his chromecast.
Bubble fails with this error:
chromecast error: failed to connect to google play services for casting NETWORK ERROR
I have searched but not found an answer.
Its stock rom, not rooted, so running ICS?
Youtube app casts fine using the cast button.
I updated google play services but same issue occurs.
I download allcast, but it did not find the chromecast, it just kept searching.
Have restarted and reset the chromecast several times, but it works fine with my phone, so it's something specifically with his phone.
Any ideas why bubble or allcast are not working.? Its the latest version of bubble, so it has to be someting on the phone itself..
Hi everyone, I saw this option " Twitch " on the oculus cinema and I had the idea that I could stream my xbox one, And it actually works, I can play on a big ass screen on the moon, the problem is that I press a button, And since it's streaming it takes like 16 seconds to move on the gear vr, Any ideas of how I can make this faster or something like that ? Any app that i dont know of ? D:
Unfortunately there is no fix for this unless they release some kind of console compatibility. The 16-ish second input lag is simply how streaming is over the internet.

Uh y.y seemed too perfect to be perfect ):
Has anyone thought about Mirroring it ?
I was thinking that if you could stream windows 10 to your phone you could stream XB1 to the Windows 10 PC and then that to the VR. Ideas?
