i am going away on holiday at the weekend, so do hope you put it back on the market before that! or i'll keep spamming this thread till you get fed up and put it back on the market!:D

cant wait to use my usb3 64gb flash drives x 2 that i ordered off the techradar deals the other day for just under £14 each. will be great to use the 128gb flash drives with my nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jim Barr:
Hmm. This seems kind of silly to me. While I'm not familiar with how Google Play Store works, doesn't Google host the app?

Why not just put the app back up, put a note in the app's description that the app is not currently supported, accept the tons of cash that will roll in, and then support and update whenever you get a chance?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
Yes crazy decision to remove from store. Will wait to buy this or some cloned app which ever launches soon on the store. Only a matter of time before clones are available on the store. Would like to buy from original developer but will buy clone if original not available or go hunting for apks online. Never looked for free apks before and always bought my apps but the ridiculous decision to pull the app leaves no options to buy legally. Will wait a few days them hunt for apks if doesn't come back on the market. Can't understand why Devs would themselves turn prospective buyers elsewhere. This app will sell huge if only the foolish decision to pull the app is reversed. Only a matter of time before other Debs release similar or cloned version.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
It's back, but hobbled

Version 2.0.3 REMOVES exFAT SUPPORT.

I've re-added the app with to the market with the disclaimer that I may not be able to support it due to current volume.

I believe there is a risk Microsoft could have started a legal battle I could not win. If I lose, you lose too. I believe I have a work-around that will avoid US Patent # US2009164539, but it's going to take some time to implement. I will attempt to add it back as a free plugin, which I will disclose the code for.

If anyone cannot wait, I will issue a refund if you send me your order #.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
thanks, will buy app even though exFAT removed

edit: tried to buy but still cant find it on play. searched for "Media Importer and Streamer " and also searched for your username on play but cant find the app. can you link it here

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

looks like your account is not set up ok as all your apps now show as not available for the nexus 7!!! even though i already have two of your other apps on my nexus 7 installed earlier today. but they are still available to instal on my galaxy note. but still cant see the nexus media importer app for purchase on both devices
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
Takes a while for the App. Store to display and it's still not showing up. Here's a direct link for when it does.

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
ok will try later today. at present does not show on both my devices and on laptop it says "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."

plus as i mentioned earlier even your other apps that i already have on my nexus 7, now when i look for same apps online, it says not available for nexus 7!!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
It's back now:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
no it isnt yet, checked on 3 devices. will try later today.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] craigw22:
Still not appearing for me.

Just out of interest, what does the lack of Exfat mean? Will this still be able to play videos direct from usb OTG and also allow the files to be imported onto the Nexus 7?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MetTrax:
Great job, been waiting for something like this for a while. I will be keeping an eye on this thread to see when it's back up. How much is it being sold for?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] neils31:
ok search for homeysoft and buy :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
just under two pounds.

i could see it a few minutes ago when i clicked on his other apps on my laptop and it would show up on the left of my screen under his other apps but when i cliked on that it would say does not exist.

but now when i clik on his other apps, it does not show up on the left at all.

doesnt show up on phone or tablet either. guess just wait till later tonight.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

no doesnt work either on laptop or tablet or phone
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] craigw22:
Great, got it by doing this, thanks!

Superb app, works perfectly straight away! No need to root now!

This should be the first thing anyone uses their £15 credit to buy, essential purchase!!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
can buy now from this link https://play.google.com/store/search?q=homeysoft&c=apps

useful app, till i feel the need to root the nexus 7. will plug in my portable dvd player (which i access now via wifi) just for kicks and see if it works and if it works then will update later.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MetTrax:
It's working, just downloaded and installed. This put a huge smile on my face, I'm loving this app so far. The streaming quality is amazing, no freezing or anything. Ty very much for this app, well worth the money. I would have even payed more for this. Now it's time to go out and buy a new flash drive.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
exFAT is a proprietary file system used on large (>32 GB) drives. It gets around two limitations of the more common FAT32 implementation. It supports file sizes > 4GB and a Windows artificial limit of formatting FAT32 drives to a max of 32GB. I'm sure Linux does not do this and I would assume mac does not do this. It's also the default format for SDXC cards (>32GB).

Here's a third party app that gets around the Windows limitation. FYI: I've never tried it.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] schism70:
Thanks for the nice app. I'm always glad to support devs who make useful stuff.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
it is working fine for me for photos, videos, pdf, docs and for streaming.

I think you should contact android phone and tablet and media player (samsung etc) and camera (nikon android camera) manufacturers to include your app as preinstalled app so that usb ememory can be attached to their devices as well which would improve the features of their devices.

Its great. Thank you. Although i have a samsung galaxy note that already supports OTG flash drives but i find their implementation buggy and not reliable and your implementation is a lot better. Although it does clash with their implementation where on connecting it first launches their stock implementation then as i launch your app it gives a warning saying usb device disconnected without dismounting but it opens via your app, then when i disconnect via your app, then their app auto launches but when i disconnect via the note system setting it again auto launches your app. but i donbt care as i prefer using your implementation as the samsung implementation is buggy and unreliable so much so that i totaly stopped using usb flash drives as it was undependable. But can now use the usb memory sticks again thanks to you.

It works fine on my nexus 7 too obviously.

would have loved to have the exfat too for using microsdxc cards but not too bothered as i bought usb3.0 64gb flash drives x2 a few days ago for just 14£ each via the techradar deals website so that should keep me going for a bit! will try out a ssd drive soon when i buy it in a few days for using as a portable drive for my car NAS which i am setting up to entertain my child while we go on holiday.

Thanks for making the nexus 7 an even greater buy for all of us unrooted nexus 7 owners.

Re: subtitles--

Perhaps an easier option is to include the *.SRT files in the Videos tab (or folder), so that we can copy them over with the MP4 files?

I use CCExtractor, which outputs a file with the same name, except for the *. srt extension. Thank you for all of your great work on this app!

-Jim
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
I'll add .srt files to video in the next release.

Amazing app ! Just purchased the app and tested i out. Wow, it played all my videos in mkv, avi and mp4 no problem. Money well spend. :laugh: :good:

Now my Nexus 7 can read files on external HDD

i have formatted my external hdd with FAT32 partition...with nexus 7 media streamer installed and usb onthego cable ---> now i never worried about the storage anymore...

my nexus 7 now can read all the video files on my external hdd...thanks dev :good:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lobotomiser:
Great app, thanks!

Great app - my father also got this and has been using it rather a lot.

He noticed that if you import a file with the same name as something you already imported, it will overwrite it without any prompt/warning. Perhaps not something you would frequently encounter, but something to be aware of (apologies if you already knew about this).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
looks like your cool app got 8 million potential customers! so market this well and you could retire soon! http://phandroid.com/2012/08/21/goo...on-nexus-7-tablets-this-year-at-current-rate/

Will this app stream the free movie Transformers if moved to the USB drive?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] garryknight:
I agree with what others have said: fantastic app. A few small problems, though.

1. It says "Click Search to rescan" but the button is labelled Scan.

2. Using it in portrait orientation, the Save button overwrites the Music and Docs buttons (I think - I'm going from memory here).

3. When I'm copying photos from my Galaxy S2 phone, maybe 20-30 files, selecting a file then hitting Save works well. But with more files, it takes a long time to get them all. It would be nice to be able to Select All and to multi-select so that I can save then whole lot with the minimum of taps.

Brilliant app, though and I would have paid more for it. Thanks!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
1) Fixed in 2.0.4

2) Yeah, don't know what to do about that. I could dump the text, but that might confuse people.

3) You can enable multi-select from the menu and "select new" will select only the files you have not copied! It's kind of a smart "select all".
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
2.0.4 Is Corrupt!

2.0.4.1 Has been uploaded and should be on the market shortly
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DucksDroid:
I just want to thank you for your efforts to make this a better app and for how responsive you have been to your clients. You have a GREAT product and are providing great service!

Thank you,

-Jim
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
Thanks man. The good thing about being small is I can turn things around quickly. The bad things is that quality assurance, visual design and documentation are not always as good they could be. :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DucksDroid:
I hate to say it, but the latest update is crashing as soon as I put in the thumbdrive. It doesn't seem to have time to read the contents. Just get a notice that the app has stopped.

You are breaking some new ground here, and that means trying new things. They may not all work and that's okay! The important thing is to keep working at it!

THANKS, again,

-Jim
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
Yeah, 2.0.4 is garbage. 2.0.4.1 has been uploaded, but seems to be taking it's sweet time to activate.

2.0.4.1 just went live on the web. My device is still reporting 2.0.4 as the latest. Hopefully, they'll push the new version down before too many people try to open it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DucksDroid:
Just pushed 2.0.4.1 down from the web and it is working fine! I tried mp4, srt, doc and pdf files. Will try other formats in the morning.

Thank you and goodnight :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] samxool:
Firstly, just want to say awesome app! :good::good::good::good:

Secondly, does it support pdf documents? In fact, is there a definitive list of what file types of any kind it does support? I couldn't see it in description in the app store.

Thirdly, in the description in the app store, it says "added .srt support - These should be saved, not streamed"

What does this mean? (i haven't recieved my OTG cable yet, so cannot work out whether I can use .srt subtitles in the thumb drive, or I need to save these subtitles somewhere on my nexus for it to work.

And finally, will there ever be support for ntfs format?

Thanks again!! :good:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] garryknight:
Ah! I'm still using 2.0.1. I'll grab the update. Thanks!

Or replace the entire top bar and just show Save and Stream buttons, but that would require the user to hit the Back button to cancel.

In 2.0.1 the menu has Multi-Select and somehow I manage to miss seeing it. I'm so used to seeing the menu button at the bottom, I think I just forgot to look for it.

Thanks again for all the work you've put into this app. :)

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
The quality and design seems fine to me. Didn't need any documentation to get it to work. I don't usually read the manuals of stuff that I buy anyway as stuff should just work without having to Wade through manuals. Your app is user friendly.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Pdfs docs photos videos all work fine for me. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt5tIq5UZPY

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Baz8755:
OTG cable arrived today, as with most micro USB cables it needed a little bit of Dremmeling to fit properly into Nexus 7 (why did they design the Nexus port like that?)

Works like a charm with USB drives and 3 out of 4 of my cameras. The Nexus did completely lock up on one occassion but I cannot remember exactly how, I think I was in the Media Scanner app & the screen turned off, I then removed OTG lead and Nexus was dead and required a hard reset.

But overall I am a very happy bunny :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
I've seen it lock like that before. It usually happen when you insert and remove a bunch of devices. If you use the disconnect, it seems to handle this better.

Cameras use different communication protocols. Some use Mass Storage, which I support some use MTP or PTP, which I do not. So some will work, others may not. Either way, smart devices are currently much more flaky than regular flash drives.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] androidgranny241:
You Did It!

Wow! Amazing amazing job, man. :good:

Do you have a donate thing? I get paid later today and I'd be willing to donate a few more bucks to the cause. You did an amazing job with this. Tested again today (been really busy lately) and it's working with all of my flash drives, even the super old super slow one I posted about at the beginning. OMG, this is so awesome.

Would it be cool if we made a You Tube video showing the app in action and promoting the app? Won't be anything fancy, but, I believe many people could use this and make the Nexus 7 experience more "comfortable" for non-advanced users like myself. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
I have this right angle model and it works extremely well and it's dirt cheap. I do believe that a good portion of my bad reviews are due to people with poorly fitting cables. I have 3 cables, 2 of which work well, but I have a straight one that disconnects with the slightest bump. I'm sure quality on these cheap cables varies wildly. This one is my favorite:

http://www.amazon.com/T-Flash-Adapt..._1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345837214&sr=8-1&keywords=otg
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
That would be awesome! I have a few posted, but they are admittedly poor quality. I was pretty sleep deprived at the time and I think it showed.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] garryknight:
That might explain why the app sometimes seems a little hit-and-miss when it comes to detecting whether mine is attached. Time to revisit Amazon...

--
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
Yeah, I need to create a trouble shooting document.

If you don't get the permission dialog when you attach it, it's a hardware issue. This is completely out of my control.

If it hangs just showing the device (/dev/...) without saying anything, it means the device/tablet is messed up and you need to reattach it or maybe reboot.

Waiting for media is harder. What's really going on is the device is connected, but it is reporting that there is no media or is giving me invalid sizing information. Sometimes the waiting for media means the card isn't seated right. Sometimes it means the device is messed up and you should reconnect it. Sometime it means the device is cheap and needs a kick-start.

Is there a way to view full screen pictures using Nexus Photo Viewer?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] androidgranny241:
I can vouch for this particular model:

QQ Tech OTG Cable Fits snugly and works perfectly.

Worked with a SandDisk Cruzer Fit 16, a Kingston DATA Traveller 32 and about 3 off-brand flash drives we had in a drawer.

______________________________________________

I'll try and get a short video up this weekend and maybe share it on OCN.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Baz8755:
It's nothing to do with the quality of the cable, it's the position of the socket on the nexus. Most devices have a good flush fit but the Nexus hides it's under a slight bevel so that a larger plug will stop it being fully pushed in. To solve the issue simply file/dremmel the top part of the plastic edge of the plug at 45 degrees. As I said it's nothing to do with quality as I have had to do it to quite a few leads and even my official HTC Desire charger. But the modification is very simple and 100% effective.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] schism70:
Love the app. Would like to see it recognize CBR and CBZ files so they could be copied to the N7. No streaming or previews needed. Both are comic book archive formats. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] garryknight:
Not in my case. The plug goes all the way into the socket but has enough slack to be jiggled around. If I plug a memory stick into the OTG cable and the latter into the tablet, if I don't see the light on the memory stick come on I can usually jiggle it all around until it does come on and the app reads the contents. Obviously, this works best on a flat surface to prevent over-jiggle™.

I'll grab a new OTG cable from Amazon and see if that makes a difference.

--
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bubblesmoney:
it is crap cables that are faulty. i had same problems with the samsung galaxy note with crap cables as well.

The official samsung galaxy note OTG cable works very well with the nexus 7 and is a secure fit without needing excessive pressure like some cheap cables. I can recommend the official samsung galaxy note OTG cable. Please note there are many so called samsung galaxy note OTG cables on play and amazon and elsewhere so please look for the logo and official box, it costed me about 7£ in january.

I managed to coonect it to a phone, samsung galaxy note in USB mode (under settings) only. it fails to recognise the phone under MTP and PTP settings. Think it recognises stuff only on internal memory and not the microsd card on the phone.

I also managed to connect it to a 9y old camera olympus C5050. But it recognises only the compact flash card which is apparently FAT16 format. The same camera has an xd card slot as well and the xd card is not read as it says unsupported format apparently FAT12. Any chances of getting FAT12 support from the developer? Hope it comes. But happy with what it can already do.

so is it now working with 64gb ntfs card? is it read only or does it do write as well? am getting 2 x 64gb usb3.0 flash drives soon. ordered it about 10days ago from techradardeals.com for 13.99£ each, not sure when i get delivery but have emailed them enquiring about it. dont know what format it comes with though.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
It will be supported in a future release, after a lot of testing. I doubt I will ever support write on NTFS. NTFS is so ridiculous complicated just to read. I can't imagine writing to it. FAT may be possible.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bkmaracas:
Loving it from early doors and now its hit critical mass too.. all good.

Would just like to put a vote in for full screen zoom able multiple image streaming. Eg without saving them all to the device first.

Then this would rule. Asked a few times and also hope your earlier free version app might work but no joy there, a 'nah can't be done ' or something would be good!

Pics look great on the screen and to just plug in a card and swipe and zoom etc through them all would clearly be 'made of win' as the kids say. Cheers anyhow.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] goodsonr:
Hi

Great app and happy to pay for it. But . .as usual .. question time. This might be off-topic and if so, please let me know and I'll ask elsewhere.

For streaming h.264 movies directly from the USB stick -> I've got a few that I got off the net that stream using your app AOK. I encoded a few using the same specs as those (at least I think I did) that are slideshows when streaming. When I copy them to the Nexus .. then they play fine. The bit rate for these are far-below (like 1/10th) of the read-speed off the stick so I don't think its anything to do with the stick itself (I can play these same movies from the usb stick direct to my PC AOK).

Given the above, I assume its something to do with how they are streamed via your app and that I've missed some ingredient in the secret-sauce for the encoding that would make it more compatible with the streaming. Any comments / suggestions?

If you think this is off-topic and should be asked to some video-encoding group and/or it nothing to do with your app .. feel free to just say

"nothing to do with me, man"

and I'm happy enough with that.

As a aside .. I have N7player installed .. and your app doesn't find it for streaming music. I assume that is something to do with the player not advertising itself .. but don't know.

tks

ron
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dburckh:
The MP3 probably doesn't handle streaming, so that's why it doesn't show up.

As for video, I noticed that same thing with BS Player. It plays my Canon MOV files fine locally, but it won't stream them. I attempted to stream them from WMC and got the same results. That said, I assume it's the player. BS Player seems to work the best for my videos (Handbrake 720p High Profile no CABAC or BPyramid).

All that being said, the next release should have more efficient I/O (faster transfers, faster video startup), it may help with some players.
