TNT Shows in stock browser or App - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

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!

which ROM gives proper/better chance of Full Market registration?

Hi guys,
I'm using TNT 4.4, good, rock, solid and stable. (this I means full market registration) It lets me push the app from the Market so I don't have to browse the market from my Gtablet. TNT 4.4 registered it correctly under Maker Malata, Model GTablet TNT Lite..etc
Can anyone of you please let me know which other ROMs register the tablet properly in the Full Market? I remember Vegan ROM can register my tablet properly so it showed in my Market Account Setting the model name, maker...etc
I remembered Cynog or Harmony 7 something, and it never registed in the My Market Account correctly eventhough the App download, search are OK but...
thx,
rcjpth
Vegan Gingerbread RC1 has the full market. I saw mentioned that Google Voice and another program (maybe it was Netflix) were signs that we have the full market and I had both of them.

Did it let you install Netflix? I am running Vegan GB RC1 and when I tried to install Netflix from the market it said my device, identifed as Malata GTab etc. was not compatible.
There is a thread that tells you how to edit your build.prop file to fool it into thinking your tab is an HTC vision, thereby getting the market and netflix working.
A full market does not depend on a rom but on the way the tablet is described in build.prop.
I like to set ro.build.product to olympus myself.

[Q] TV Shows Stream app suddenly not working?

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

[Q] Nook App on CM7 not working

I am running CM7 7.1.0 RC1 off sd card when I load the nook app and log in I see my newspapers Wall Street Journal and Barron's but when I try to download I keep getting error message indicating file format not supported.
Are yuo using the most recent version of the Nook app? I think at one point the app did not support newspapers and magazines.
I am running the latest download from the market version 2.6.2. Somewhere I thought I read something about a build prop file needing to be changed for certain devices in order to run certain apps like the new market app but I am not sure at all how that works or if it even applies.
I use the Nook for Android app pretty extensively and subscribe to several magazines. When I have trouble with the Nook app, and I haven't for some time, I do the following.
1. Go to applications
2. Click on the Nook app
3. Click on Clear Data.
4. Click on Uninstall
Reboot
5. Go to market.
6. Search for and install Nook App.
7. Sign in
8. Download content again.
I've done 10 NB installs since I had to do that, so I don't think it's a current issue if you get the latest version.
Market shows this as:
Updated: Juune 8, 2011
Current Version: 2.6.2
NB 143 is running smoothly enough for me to think it's good as RC2 for 7.1
Thanks for the information and suggestions. I have now updated to nightly 140 and things are running very good. However I still am having the same issue with the Nook app I have wiped data and uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled several times and it shows that I have purchased subscriptions to both the WSJ and Barron's but when I go to download it still gives me the file not supported error message. When I do a search using the app I see other newspapers available for purchase but not the Wall Street Journal or Barron's. However, when on go online through my laptop they show when doing a search for newspaper subscriptions. I have not tried to download any content through the nook app yet maybe that's the next step but I find it strange that these two publications do not show up in a search using the app. Any thoughts we be much appreciated.
Nook App goes straight to Library
Hope this is on point...
I have an issue where the nook ereader app goes straight to library. This is different than the nook app on my G2x and the videos that I've seen for others using CM7 show the same app as on the G2x. Any thoughts. I'm thinking that this might be due to the lack of an IMEI ?

[Q] Galaxy i9100 Problem Browser Issue

My wife gave me a White Galaxy S II international version from Amazon.com for Christmas.
I first noticed this with the stock internet browser.
I am having a little problem with the podcasts section on Engadget.com. As soon as the page is near or finishes loading, the browser crashes and I'm returned to the launcher.
If I am quick enough to long press on the .MP3 link to download the podcast it crashes without the save prompt showing up and the download isn't started.
I downloaded Dolphin Browser HD and I get the same results. This is the browser I used on my Inspire 4G with no problems.
This is viewing the desktop version of Engadget.com, also with either Android or Desktop as the user agent.
I don't have trouble loading pages on other sites.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Just tried it myself and it worked fine. Are you trying the "save link" option? You could try "download all files" application from market. I've got it installed because I've had a problem in the past.
DoubleTwist
Try downloading the app doubletwist you don't need to sync it to your computer or use air sync all you need to do them is download the item again
Hope this helps
Not to be rude but I'm looking for a solution, not a workaround.
I could just stream it from the website or the Engadget app, but I want to download the podcast from the page as I'm reading Engadget posts without starting up another app to do something I could do easily on a much simpler and lower quality phone. The building at my work tends to kill wifi and cell signals so I need to download the podcasts to listen to them.
I did have cyanogen installed on my Inspire. I wanted to see if I could use this phone without ROMs.
Thanks anyway.
download all files from market , the stock browser doesnt download all file extensions mate , that could be the reason
dolphin browser is quite useless to download files...the best one to download files are the opera mobile. i used that to download basically everything....try it...

Like I said "download all files"
Just install it then use the stock browser to download the pod cast
The stock browser and dolphin can download mp3s from other sites. My Inspire 4G running cyanogen could do it, too.
Apparently there is some code on the Engadget page that my phone doesn't like.
The browser crashes as soon as the page either finishes loading or right before it finishes. It had nothing to do with downloads.
Edit: I installed Opera Mobile as recommended above by kruznix and the page loads properly.
I'm still curious if anyone knows why this is happening.

Nook Reader App 4.0

BN now has the Nook Reader App 4.0 on the Play Store. It even runs Kids books just like the stock reader. But Play Store shows it as incompatible with the Nook HD/HD+. It does run fine, just Play Store will not allow it to be installed so that it cannot be installed on the stock software and interfere with the stock version. The solution is to manually install the apk file to CM yourself. I have uploaded the apk file to my Dev-Host server account here:

Thank you for sharing.
Edit: will not actually load any of my side loaded content. Sees it. Let me add to library, but won't let me open any of it. Alidko opened them fine.
This app was eating my processor time and battery, slowing down my device. I finally traced it to the nook service trying to keep me informed of things. I was able to fix it by going to settings, apps, and selecting the nook reader app. There I unchecked the show notifications box and all was well.
Edit: well spoke too soon. All was well because I force stopped the app also. As soon as I opened the app again that service started to eat me again. May need to go back to prior version which I had archived.
Edit2: I think I found the problem. First, I uninstalled and reinstalled the 4.0 app. That fixed my inability to see my sideloaded books. Second, I went to settings and in downloads unchecked both newspapers and magazines for automatic downloads. I subscribe to a magazine and the service was automatically downloading a new issue. That is what was eating my processor. All ok now. I love how the new version displays the magazines.
