My impression so far is that the hardware is awesome and we'll built but the software is just not there yet.
ColorOS 2 beta : Bluetooth refuses to work...never finds my car or A2DP widget.
CM11 (getting better every build!) 4k and camera in general flaky. WiFi slow or media stack borked as Plex cannot keep up, not an issue with ColorOS.
I guess that's what I get for being a phone junky. Love the hardware.

So my basic problem is that I have a lot of media on my home desktop. It's a home built machine that has no sounds and runs windows xp
I have no problem streaming video over wifi. Everything works absolutely fine that way.
What I want to know is how to open media that's on my computer from a remote location (using a separate wifi network)
I'm currently using team viewer for remote access and it works for many things but it doesn't allow me to stream video to my phone. It allows me to play video on my computer and to view it but this is useless without sound
I'm considering trying to make a vpn but I'm not very computer literate.
Any suggestions?

No such thing has been done yet to my understanding, you can only stream over a WI-FI network so far

I think I might have found a solution and I feel sort of like an idiot. I'll test it out tonight and see if it works.

splashtop remote transmits sound
I'm trying the emit app it seems to work but I'll have to try it at work. As I said I feel dumb finding this a few hours after posting
I do seem to experience a lot of lag on videos so I guess that's my next problem to fix.

Emit works fine over the net (both on my own wifi and using my cell phones Ltd or other computers on different networks)
However lag when using it over cell broadcast is pretty bad and I'm trying to find a way to improve it

I know that this was posted in the news on the 18th but I just have to share it with everyone again. Its that good!!! Don't miss out
It runs a lot smoother than the stable build supplied to all android systems.
Update: test Jan 27th w/ HW acceleration is even more stable than the 21st release.

Experimental hardware video decoding builds for Nexus 7
This development is great. Now I can watch 1080p movies via net on my Nexus 7!
Now I use version from 2013.02.19

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/android/
It's more stable for me than the alpha2 from 2013.04.03.
Hope we will get soon Hardware acceleration on standard version xbmc.

Even the navi x plugin works... This is awesome.

I use my N7 to control my htpc/xbmc. No interest in running xbmc on my N7. To me that's just overkill. With a file manager that supports SMB I can watch anything on my NAS within a few seconds. It would have made more sense for these guys to keep the xbmc app the same and simply allow you to play it on your android. I got a mini android PC and tried xbmc on it but an actual PC does a better job period.

I stream several movies not only my PC but my nexus7 as well. They even stream from navi x . to you it may not be worth it or make sense but when you want to watch a movie somewhere or you have a child that wants to watch something while you dip something it is very handy. So makes great sense to me.

Maybe the wrong thread but giving xbmc remote the ability to use the default media player on an android device would be welcome feature. To have the web add on in xbmc also support playback would be great. The default web addon is pretty plain as it is.
Maybe the current dev might see this as a nice and easy feature.

You must not worry about watched status ( or have kids using the TV). Every tv/device in my house has xbmc or openelec on it (including 2 still working Xbox 1s!)

I had tried UT for 2 days and this is my conclusion: it's a fantastic system!
I based my vote in: UI, speed, connection(s), apps, others features.
UI 10/10
Ubuntu Touch have the most beautiful UI in the universe and I simply love it
Speed 6/10
Speed isn't the force point of UT (it is in an alpha build, it is laggy)
Connection 5/10
Gps and bluetooth have only screen image but they don't work really. 3g and wifi work quite well but they aren't fully fixed
Apps 5/10
The coreapps work very well but there aren't lots of apps for now (but you can find XDA and a Qr-Code reader)
Other Features 7/10
I love terminal because it use commands like ubuntu desktop and you can upgrade yours app quickly. System setting doesn't work correctly and system update doesm't work (it say there are a 20130834 update and it normally fail the download)
I wish I will try a stable image as soon as possible.
Cheers.

Well.... Let me take this opportunity to ask- how usable is it? Can you daily driver it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Doubt it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I think ubuntu mobile is at least another 2 years off being usuable as a daily driver, unfortunatley no one cares about ubuntu an they will never catchup to what google an apple or even windows have already let alone in the future.
It isn't for daily use, but mark sutthleworth said UT will stable for october and I wish They'll leave stable version as soon as possible

I am on stock ROM rooted and I have an issue. Bluetooth only works for calls but not for any type of media no matter if Pandora Slacker and so on or YouTube Vevo Video and so on. Also NFC won't work because it uses Bluetooth as well. So does anyone has an idea what is going on or has a fix for that? Thanks.

I wanted to control my ps3 from my phone, and found an app called blueputdroid that let's you do this.
I downloaded it and it says unsupported bluetooth stack, download a rom such as cyanogenmod.
Thing is, I have cyanogenmod 11 so am wondering if I can change my bluetooth stack to make it work and how I would do this?
Thanks
Is it possible?
For me it only works on sense roms. I think it doesn't work on any rom past 4.2.2
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Oh really? Any idea why? No workaround for this?
I think because 4.3 adds support for bluetooth low power devices which i think causes this
