Hi - I use Google Photos as my main photo library with my family. I share with them multiple albums allowing them to add photos into it.
The only app that works for me to browse all added photos in albums is Google Photo app - unfortunately it does not work on Android TV. I know I can chromecast it but why should i do it if I have Android TV?
I have managed to install Google Photo app myself but it does not work well - or even at all, cannot be controlled using remote
Any suggestions? Thanks
It works now with Google Assistant. You can't really browse, but tell it to "show pictures from xxx" and it will. You can also cast from photos on a phone.
download the Google Photo app .apk file from a mirror, and install it via a file manager. You'll also need a sideload launcher app to use apps that don't show on the main screen.
I use this. even got the paid version i was that good and only option as of now i think

Hi, I'm having some problems with Movie Studio on a Motorola XOOM. It appears that the application doesn't let me add pictures in the Gallery that come from Picasa Web, and just those that have been taken with the device camera and those in the downloads folder. I am under the impression that it's somehow not scanning the same directories that the Gallery application is scanning, as the Gallery application shows also all the pictures I have on Picasa Web too.
I also tried to make some albums available offline but the behavior is the same.
Is there any reason why those files are not picked up?
Does anyone know how to stop albums from all your linked accounts, dropbox, blogs, google+ etc appearing?
I just want things like downloads, camera and videos, not all this auto-shared stuff.
Thanks!
*bumb*
im also interested in this. also i would like to add music album art to that list. i have over 2000 songs on my phone and all the album work from them are showing up in my stock gallery. if this cant be fixed is there any way someone could add the "hide album" feature to this gallery and distribute it. you could call it "ics gallery+" lol. i love the look of this album just wish it had more features.
just get the app called Quickpic. it allows you to hide albums. especially from gallery app. allows you to hide those special albums n pix you want no one seeing lol
There is a free app called Hide it Pro in android market. It can hide all those pictures, apps, musics, and videos which you don't want them to show up.
I second the use of QuickPic. You can use .nomedia files to hide media files from the media scanner but the stock gallery app is very buggy anyway and probably won't update your folder list properly.

Hi there, i am a proud owner of an i9300, and im searching for a proper youtube downloader/converter to use. I've tested TubeMusic which is quite good ( it embeds into the official android youtube application, and whe u see a video, you press "share" icon and it adds the "Download" option. The only problem is that the files downloaded can only be played properly with the "Tube Music" player. They are still in .mp3 format and they are stored in the hidden fodler ".tubemusic" but the names are all messed up. I'd love if they could give us the setting to download wherever we want, and if it didnt mess with the mp3 names. Any ideas?
I've always used 'Tubemate' which isn't on Google play anymore but you can it from searching google.
You can specify what quality/resolution it downloads in or as an mp3. I would also be interested if anyone else has some other suggestions for YouTube downloaders.
Tubemate
Hm.. Im trying it right now, seems good but it doesnt embed in the official youtube application. Its an application on its own. Very good tho! Thanks!:laugh:
If you use the proper youtube app, you can enable 'preload' (either on subscriptions or watch later).
I use Opera Mini to download YouTube vids. I navigate to the site, search for the video and when I click play or watch it automatically downloads the video in either mp4 or 3gp format depending on if I have his or low video setting enabled. Not sure if this is stock on the opera mini or if I downloaded something to enable it but it used to do the same on my Desire Z with the same app.

Google wants to leverage it's Youtube platform as a delivery network for commercial entities. That won't work if everyone can install an app to rip the video within seconds.
So they have to make it somewhat harder, since it's technically not possible to block such services/apps entirely.

By "embed" do you mean that this app is added as an intent from the Share option available on any YouTube video?
If so, TubeMate does this as well. Actually almost any app that is registered as a video filetype handler should be available from YouTube's Share menu.
I've tried viewing gifs on my phone using google drive. downloading them and opening in different app is broken too, the gif's break-
they play just fine in the browser if I view them on drive.google.com.
Anyone know why? google hasn't implemented it or is it broken?
posted gifs play fine in google+ app for example

So it appears that with the 1.16xxxxx update of Google Photos that you can now export your slow motion videos with the correct speed tags to Youtube, Dropbox, Google Drive etc.
I tested this with Google Drive then DLed the video to my computer and it does indeed still have the speed ticks where i put them.
I did not however see a option to just re export it back to the phone via Google Photos which kinda sucks for people like me who do not use Google Photos to as their gallery app, But i guess its better then nothing.
