Android app to view streams

[croque]

Anyone found a good Android app to play video streams from a Vu+ over http? Ideally I want something to just take the m3u file and play the stream.

Found an answer on another site: Dreamdroid to initiate stream and vPlayer to play it.

Vplayer seems to be no longer available on the android store not sure why.

For me i only ever seemed to get streaming working with the vplayer trial combined with dreamdroid.

Some other ideas here from a old thread

vPlayer was this morning there as I managed to download from Market without problem.

Your second point is exactly what you need to do. Normal browsers seem to want to save the m3u file passed by Vu+ rather than read it and play the stream. DreamDroid sorts the stream and then calls the player.

One thing is that channels in bouquets are reported to have play problems; the work around is to use the channels in 'providers'.

Strange the only vplayer download i can see is the unlocker

Here is the Vplayer(Free Trial) as well Vplayer unlocker on the Market. I used 1 month and sd channels working great :thum:

As an aside about Market on Android. It uses your service provider's location to prevent some apps from appearing in Market. For instance Barnes & Nobles eBook reader 'Nook for Android' won't show up if your provider is not in the USA.

There is a free app called MarketEnabler that allow you to temporarily set a number of false providers to get round the issue.
