Anybody else notice this? The past 2 days I can't get TV Shows Stream to play any videos. App loads, can search for shows and see the lists, but nothing will play. Looked around, googled, couldn't find any recent chatter about it. I've been using it a LOT on my TB.
I know it's no longer available in the market, but I was under the assumption that if you had it it would still work.

i know i've had bad luck with some of the source links for it, but megavideo usually plays.
chances are you're seeing the same message everyone else is (androidcentral forum members) about "this video has been taken down" or "video removed"--have you tried all of the source links (karambavidz/megavideo/etc) for the videos?
i love the app and will hate when it's no longer working. i already hate that it's removed from the marketplace. they removed it THE DAY i rooted and had to work my magic to get the .apk back

Mine is still working. I had an issue with sound playing and emailed them. They told me to:
1- Uninstall "Adobe Flash Player"
2- Uninstall "TV Shows Stream" (Note that you will lose your saved bookmarks)
3- Reboot your device
4- Install "Adobe Flash Player" from Android Market
5- Install "TV Shows Stream" from Android Market

Note: Root access is required in order for this to work.
Since I've found a workaround to install apps not showing up in the marketplace and haven't seen anyone address the issue other than rewriting system files, I thought I'd post this for people who (like me) don't know how to use the first method.
1) search for the app you want on Google in your browser, ie "xxx android"
2) click on the result leading to the Marketplace website (IMPORTANT: be sure to open the link with your browser and not the Market!)
3) click the "Install" button
4) you will be prompted to login, enter your info (you should only have to do this once)
5) this time, choose to open with Market when prompted
6) click the "Install" button and your app will download!
Hope this helps anyone

When I try this method, the search finds the program I'm looking for but as soon as I log in and open with "Market", not the browser, it replies with "Program not found". So I guess it doesn't work for me.
Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

What app did you try? I can try the same one and see if it works for me. If it does, I'll try to see what went wrong.

It was iBird Pro. It cost money, but just try to get to the point to where it try's to confirm whether or not you really want to pay for it.
Thanks,
rodorr
Its not working for me either which leads me to believe its the app. Go ahead and try another free app just to see if the method even works.

Worked perfectly with Evernote.
Thanks a ton, less hunting for apks now
I checked Evernote, and Evernote shows up as downloadable for the Nook Tablet without using the work around.

Oh, well then... I feel stupid? Edit: I didn't see it when I tried searching for it in the Market app.
Just tried it with Google Maps and no dice.
Ok, I tried AVG Mobilation Anti-Virus Pro, and it came back with something like "Sorry but you can't download because you haven't paid for it" and then I got the good old "! Your device isn't compatible with this item".

Google Maps

post #5 for a list of apps you can download through your browser - just click on the "remove this frame" to activate the download.
(thanks to spoland)
there is a newer version I found somewhere but I can't find it now (v6.0.3)

I don't understand how this can work - if apps aren't showing up in the Market on your tablet, surely that's because Market thinks they're not compatible with your NT. And if that's the case, when you sign into your account in the browser, the same thing would happen of not letting you send the app to devices it doesn't think are compatible?
In browser, the Market doesn't even list my NT as one of my devices, even though I'm signed into the Market app on my NT. Any thoughts on this?
I've had this method work twice and fail a couple times. At step 5 when it opens up the market the app still shows as incompatible but it downloads it anyway.
Torrential91, can you give me an example of an app that this worked correctly for you?

I just had it work for Real Racing 2 free version.
I tried it with facebook, but there was no download option, just a note saying it was not compatible with my device.
This method was successful in getting to the app page where i could not before.
I tried "Real Racing 2" and it did indeed work for me. It gave me the message "Your device isn't compatible with this item" but it went ahead and downloaded it anyway. So it does work with some items. Maybe it just doesn't work if there is a cost associated with the item.

I know Google maps worked for me. I believe Tumblr also worked this way.
Seems like this method is hit or miss. Can't really say why =/ I'm not a dev in any way, just a guy that experiments with trial and error haha.
Maybe a dev can chime in on this?

Not to sound ignorant, but is this on a rooted nt? I put the android market on here and it wouldn't even start up, so i'm assuming this is the case.

Yes you need root access in order to run the Market.

I followed all the steps but when I choose market for the prompt it pops up and says your device isnt compatible with this item. Any ideas?
I'm using a stock, unrooted Photon. Yesterday I opened the Market, it closed quickly, and refused to restart. Nothing happened when I selected the icon.
Same issue this morning, so I decided to reboot, and now my Market icon has disappeared, replaced by an icon that looks like a settings icon.
Selecting edit on that icon, it still refers to the Market. When I list my apps, Market is not present.
So now I don't know how to access (or update) my Market app.
Any guidance is appreciated.

I don't have your device, but with the timing I'd suggest that it might be related to Google Play. Play's Google's new market, there are a few of them... Play Music, Play Books, etc etc etc
Try installing Play from the web interface.

AHA!
Play Market was in my Apps list, problem solved. Thanks for the tip!
A better notification from Google regarding this would have been helpful.
Yes, google would have been wise to pop up a notification when they changed the market. My girlfriend texted me in a panic thinking she broke something because market was missing.

They actually fixed it in the newest version.

Forgive me if this question has already been asked...ran a search of the forums and found nothing so...
Does anyone know why with a rooted NT (not running another ROM yet) I can not watch programs online through TNT website as well as TNT Android app available on Google Play? The browser will go to the site but fails to load any full episodes. I side loaded the app hoping it would work even though play store said it would not...hoping if I fiddled with changing my screen resolution it would work (using LCD app). In the TNT app it plays the ad before the program just fine, then plays about 8 seconds of the actual episode before I get a message saying my device is not compatible. I checked permissions and the only thing I can see that might be causing this is the setting for the display in the .xml file.
Anyone know what to do? I like watching Falling Skies episodes but can't on my NT. Oddly, I am running an old version if the HBOgo app without any problems. Perhaps the TNT app requires Ice Cream Sandwich? No specs to say on app page or webpage.
Any help would be appreciated!
I seem to be missing the Instant Mix on Google Play Music on my Nexus 7 as well as on my Nexus 4. Has Google changed anything here or am i doing something wrong. The Instant Mix Tab is gone and when clicking the 3 buttons next to a song the option is missing as well. On my Desktop i still have them though!
Any Ideas?

Same problem here. Also, if I browse settings with in the Play Music app, it's really really really basic. I seem to have lost all functionality in the app. I'm also missing all album artwork, but the website shows everything there. I tried clearing cache and app data but nothing works.

I'm also having this problem. I reinstalled the app and the Instant Mix and Shop buttons came back, but as soon as j pressed them, the app crashed. Upon reopening it, they were no longer there.
I'm also missing the Instant Mix, Shop, and all my album art. Happen a couple days ago.

I figured it out, Google broke Play Music in the latest 5.2 update. Revert back to 5.1 and it works perfectly fine.

oh crap, I came here looking for an answer on "how to get rid of Instant fricken mixes" on Android/PC ... PC is with a chrome extension that sometimes works/sometimes doesn't ... and I swear I've seen a "hide instant mixes" button in the google play app... but not anymore!
WTF google, nobody cares! cmonnnnn
So the main reason I bought the padfone was because well, it has a pad docking station... and the main reason i wanted that dock was so I could watch videos as I take a lot of online courses and tutorials.
However, I've been unable to do this as none of the streaming video apps work. Videos wont play on the youtube, coursera, udemy, facebook apps for some strange reason. They all just show an error right when you press play.
Has anyone else experienced this ? Is there anyway to fix this ?
There is some kind of issue with YouTube that I am also experiencing with mine as well. I have tried various "fixes" from the internet, but to no avail. Some people say that logging out of YouTube and then back in will work. Others say that if you uninstall it or clear the cache then update it it will work. Yet more say that if you make various changes to your internet specifications it will fix it. I have met with failure with all of these, but others say it will work for them.
I would also try to sideload flash if you haven't already, that may help.
Try heading over to the Play Store > (Drawer) > My apps & games, and ensuring that there are no updates available.
If everything is updated and the issue still persists, ensure that the software on your phone is up to date as well.
