Has anyone found a substitute for Tunein? More specifically BBC Radio? - Firefox OS Q&A

Hi.
I have recently bought a ZTE Open C because I want out of Google. I love open source stuff and Firefox OS seems to tick all the boxes for me. BUT I really miss BBC Radio 6 Music that I used to listen to on my Tunein radio app on my Nexus S. I have tried many websites but have had noy joy trying to stream it.
Is it possible on Firefox OS to get BBC Radio 6 Music?

[Q] Just got my first Android device - and I am lost :(

Hi,
just got myself first, proper Android device.
My Lumia has been passed on to my spouse and I am trying to get familiar with the system and device.
As you can imagine, after using iPad and recently Lumia I do feel a bit lost and overwhelemd by the amount of options, menus and submenus
As right now I am trying to dig through tons of posts, pages here and on other sites. Not an easy task to get to the essential information.
Perhaps you can help me be hinting some shortcuts or giving straight through answers?
My S3 is not branded and unlocked but not rooted, runnind Android 4.1.1
1. How do I get Flash working in Chrome?
2. How do I get Market Enabler app on it?
All my tries and downloads has not been succesful so far

Also, on my iPad I was using an awesome video player - Buzz Player.
It plays mkv (iPad can't do it smootlhy but that is different story), divix, avi... anything really.
What is mor eimportnat it was able to stream those videos from my NAS drive - old WD My Book World via smb (samba).
I tried Buzz for Android but it is truly terrible . Nothing like app on iOS + very expensive to buy.
Would you have anyy suggestion - what I should try? (BTW: option for Windows Store - "try" before "buy" is really helpfull - would love to see it on Google Play!).
And what is the best (free) barcode scanner as there is no Bing in S3.. ?

I really have no idea for streaming my s3 plays mkv movies from stock..but you could try "vlc direct pro free" i think you will be ok!
As for the barcode try quickmark for more options or barcode scanner for simple use

As far as I'm aware chrome doesn't support flash anyway, try dolphin browser hd. Market enabler does require root access. As for the video player try MX Player from the play store it plays pretty much everything, possibly the best video player for android.
Hope I could help

1. How do I get Flash working in Chrome?
Hy im a newby here and also in android, comming from iOs too....
my phone is rooted and i managed to install the so wanted flash player from Adobe v11(not sure the version, its been a long time)
it works great in my Galaxy S3 ... i open internet sites and videos using Opera (or Chrome which i like a lot but havent tested it yet)
look for your version of system/phone in Adobe site and you will find the right flash player, just download the file and follow the instrutcions on the site.

[Q] Androids counterpart for Airplay

Hi all.
I recently found airplay (and hairplay) for my mums mac air and are running hairplay on a raspberry PI for her. I do really miss this feature on my android, I want to get home from work and immediately be able to stream my Spotify music to my miniMAC HTPC connected to all speakers at home.
How can I stream my music from my handset to my home speakers through the wifi network? Please help me with suggestions!
I got a rooted ZTE Blade now with CM7.
Im waiting for my Nexus 4 and will flash CyanogenMod on it really soon so Root access is possible if it involves that.
No answer I figured. There are loads of similar threads.
And the usual answer is use UPnP.
The reason I don't want to use that / can't use that is I'm Streaming all my music from Spotify, there for the reason I want a AirPlay couterpart.
I want to capture all sounds from my android device and sent it to a couple of speakers through a receiver and maybe a computer what ever solution you suggest and know about. Thanks!

[Q] Streaming from BandCamp mobile site...

Hey guys,
I've got a HTC One and the other day I was trying to stream from BandCamp without any success. I tried the stock HTC Browser, Chrome and Boat Browser – which all failed.
There used to be a few apps to cater for BandCamp streaming (CampScout and Bandroid), but they have been removed from the Play Store.
Just wondering if anyone is able to successfully and reliably stream from BandCamp, and which brower they use to do so.
Thanks for any help.
Can someone please at least test bandcamp streaming on their phone and see if it works or not?
So amazing app i love it

[Q] DLNA/UPnP

Hi there, i recently switched to android (HTC One) ive rooted it, tried cyan, but went back to sense. Anyway, ive also ordered a Nexus Q - mostly cuz it looks gr8 - i have apple TV and i use it with an app on my One where i stream from spotify to my appleTV and to my stereo. When i get my Nexus Q i plan to get CyanogenMod on it, and a airplay server, so i switch out the appleTV.
BUT my dream would be to get a android app on my Nexus Q so i can stream everything from my HTC One to my Nexus Q with DLNA/UPnP,cuz thats possible right? DLNA/UPnP works like AirPlay? Is this possible?
u want to stream media content from device to device? why does it make sense?:laugh:
I want to stream the system audio, like spotify, just like airplay, screenmirroring would be nice, my question is: do i need a seperate device, like netgear push2tv, or is there a app that does the same thing like an android client

[Q] Mediapad 7 Youth 2 - Issue with flash

Good evening!
I'm having an issue with Huawei Mediapad7 Youth 2. Android version is 4.3.
No browser installed is able to play streams and according to google play, adobe flash player is not compatible, or at least the available versions... However, I can use youtube and watch its videos with no problem, but I guess that can be explained by the youtube app being present in the tablet.
It's a tablet that was part of my phone service package, so it comes with pre-installed apps and company-customized interface.
It simply doesn't even show a player on screen.
Is this an issue I can be able to fix? What can I do?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
