Samsung EPIC 4G :: Media Hub Glorified ITunes Store For Video?
Sep 17, 2010So Media is just a glorified iTunes store for video? I thought it was going to be a better media player. My fault for not looking into it i guess.

View 11 RepliesI am looking to sync up all of my devices (go android for phone and tablet, or apple for phone and tablet).
The thing I like most about the apple stuff is the Itunes movie/book store.
Basically I can buy movies and put them on my tablet/pc/iphone (with the future cloud streaming) from the Itunes store...Granted the stupid Ipad doesnt have a way to do TV out so I heard.
I want to stick with Android since I like the OS and I like the open nature of the software. However, there is no one place that I can go to get all my Media like the Itunes store. This is especially true for Movies/TV shows. It would be nice to have all of my movies on either a cloud or on my tablet so that when I travel, I can watch them or link them to a TV.
I know right now I can rip my DVDs to MP4 format, but I like just downloading a movie when I want to. I dont want to have to go to 5 different places to find what I wanted to see.
Basically does anyone know if Google is planning on making some sort of integrated market that has TVshows/Movies/Movie Rentals/Ebooks?
If you have an HTPC (home theater pc) you can use "Orb". The Orb live app doesn't work on the Evo yet, but I can watch all my shows using the Orb mobile website and set the stream to flash. Seems to cut out if the signal is switching between 3g and 4g (like on the road). Also, if you use your phone to initiate a torrent on your HTPC, you can't watch it until you log into your HTPC with "logmein" or something similar and click *refresh* on the orb server app. Also, doesn't stream WMC (windows media center) recordings in flash format (any know how to fix?).
For pictures and music, "Pogoplug" is what I use. It's a user friendly NAS (network attached storage) with a web interface. Just buy the adapter and use an old usb hard drive and you have an NAS that you can use from any internet capable device. Pogoplug android app is great! Warning: Do not use pogoplug for movies! It takes 6 hours to convert a 2 hour movie into a stream-ready-movie. That means once your torrent is downloaded, you can't watch it till blueray is obsolete.
Anyone try other solutions? Homepipe? iTunes?

So about a week ago I randomly can no longer download anything from the ap store, even updates. I just get the notification, "Download unsuccessful". this is been a week now; and I've turned phone on/off...I use LauncherPro as my launcher if that even matters...but haven't really messed with any settings anywhere...I'm on a 3G good network, and hadn't had any problems downloading or updating aps in the past...any ideas?

I've seen a few people refer to it but haven't seen much about it working or being used. I did find an app called iSyncr for PC that seems to have some good comments though.

And most of what it has to offer is junk and costs way too much.My question before I do this is twofold. Is it possible to uninstall media hub? And if I can install it, will there be any negative consequences to my phone?

It might not wow everyone, but it looks better than the samples taken by Engadget. The audio pickup is awesome! And the video is so smooth I didn't know the video was being taken by the Epic until he mentioned it.
I'm really looking forward to this device! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsUUi0MTrb4

This post in AndroidGuys claims that the Epic 4G's Media Hub update will also work on other Galaxy S phones. Not that I care about the Media Hub that much but has anyone tried to apply the Epic 4G's Media Hub update to their non-Epic 4G Galaxy S phones?

Isn't playing a video in HQ a matter of selecting it from the menu? So does this review make any sense?
