Hi guys ...
when you plan to buy a full-feature pocket pc and tried to search within the latest released models at least you find one or two feautres missing that will ruin your plans ..
I was lookingforward to own the HTC HD , it has all the specs I want except the TV-out ?!!
I don`t know why they didn`t include it like the previous model touch pro , any way I seached the web looking for what you can say an external TV-out that could be plugged to USB port ..and found one in this site : http://fashionstar.en.alibaba.com/p...48/HDTV_Frame_Station/HDTV_Frame_Station.html
so as I mentioned before in the topic , will it work with pocket pcs cause they said in the their website :USB interface:Can be connected to U-Disc,Camera,Mobile,etc...
thanks in advance //
no replies until now !!
maybe..
if the tv works as usbHost it should be able to access the mass storage controler and access the media
but it would be the tv desiding what it could play in terms of video and music and powerpoint and the likes
and i would prob not depend on most tv's being able to support that much and
maybe not at a high fps
so it's really not any more tvout for the device then it's a tvout for something like
an usbKeyring with memory
I`ve uploaded the PDF file describing the features ..

After take a look at the manual, it looks like it can access the multimedia files stored on your PDA and play them.
This is different to a TV-out PDA, that plays on a TV an exact replica of what presenton the PDA screen.
Is there any way to do a screencast on an Android device... in particular the Nexus 7? I'm trying to put together a video and I wanted a clip that showed the U.S. and it zoomed into a specific city. Problem is, on the computer Google Earth is somewhat choppy despite having nearly brand new hardware, and Google Maps just does an instant snap to that location. Google Maps on my N7 on the other hand works JUST AS I WOULD LIKE... but I'm not sure how to capture it?
Any idea?

Screencast captures your phone screen at high frame rates into a high quality MPEG4 video with audio. It can also take snapshots of your screen by holding the search key on your phone.

I want something like this, not to record a screencast, but to use as a way of having video out in lieu of not having hdmi. I have a pc hooked up to my hdmi display and was looking at the options. This app sounds like the best but doesn't work yet with tegra 2/3.
How fast is it with other devices? Like could a game be played at a smooth frame rate? Does it allow to stream live and not record a video?
Are there any other ways of doing this?
I've been searching for a while now with no luck. I record gameplay on my GNote with the afore mentioned app but seeing as the developer has all but vanished I'm guessing we won't be seeing Tetra support.
You'd almost think Nvidia would make an app to do this just so Tetra fans could make gameplay videos, thereby promoting their devices.

There are some demo videos of stuff coming... Nivdia has one showing a playbook to a TV that has the Miracast protocol
and ESR labs has the following
Hopefully soon...
Unless you already have a TV with it built in, you will need a some some sort dongle that has WiFi and s HDMI output. I just got a raspberry pi to be used with the ESR labs Android Transporter when it come available.

I just stumbled upon those videos yesterday. Very interesting stuff. I think I may grab a couple of raspberry pi's. I'm in Canada and I couldn't find it in stock right now. I wish they would build a cheap enclosure for it. I put a post on their website if they plan on making a linux client and not just for the pi. I would think it wouldn't take too much to make a generic version. I also noticed some hdmi outputs on tablets don't provide 1:1 mirroring. For ex, acer tablets cutoff the bottom menu. This I believe is for video playback, which makes sense, but I hope it's an option or in the spec of miracast to offer 1:1. I saw a TI demo of miracast as well, and they make mention of the display showing one thing and the tablet showing something different typical of normal wired hdmi outputs. Nvidia also has demo's of miracast as you linked, but I hope they make a windows client. It'll be a ways off before it's standard on TV's and it sounds like there will be dongle's available, but a lot of people have computers hooked up to their displays so it would be nice if there is a complete software solution as well.
Android Transporter for the Nexus7 and Raspberry PI
Hi all,
the video you showed in the one post is our old demo video.
Since yesterday we have a public preview. please see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/

Is it possible without rooting and without PC? :crying:

No, it's not possible. you need root or a pc (actually the root way to do it does not work atm)
Android 4.2 is supposed to include native support for Miracast devices. So we just need the Miracast set top boxes.
Does anyone know if Miracast carries over Audio?
I just installed Screencast on my N7 with CM10.1 grouper nightly 12182012.
When I try to screen capture video in landscape or in portrait the audio saves properly, but the video is a static hodgepodge of TWRP Touch recovery in a purplish sepiatone
yo b1LL did you bother reading Screencast app description? doesnt support Nexus 7 nor any tegra 3 based devices
Here's one
There's another thread that has one, and it works for screencasting but it really only gets 1-2 fps. So if you're desperate:

Hi guys,
I just bought my hdtv adapter in order to connect my tab to my TV trough HDMI and happily see netflix everynight..... The thing is that for any reason when I plug the cable de image in the TV is a clone of the image in the tablet, but the uggliest point is that when I put a movie in netflix not only the image in the TV is not escalated ( I see the movie in part of the TV screen) but subtitles are not in the TV screen but they are in the tablet.
Any idea how can I can get it fixed. Is there any hdmi output control software or something like that?.
I'm trying yo get my TV dispay as an extension of the galaxy note display.
Thanks!.
I just found out, to my disappointment, the same behaviour with netflix and the allcast dongle.

do you think it's a netflix app issue or the hdmi output resolution that it's unable to fit the whole tv screen?. I hope there is a software to fix it.
Unfortunately, I do not have a clue. I will probably try and buy an android stick to bypass the problem

I would have expected stock was better than this. Seems like a lot of devices have issues with UI overlays and HDMI output. Sounds like even Samsung's stock hwcomposer is a steaming pile of ****. Or this is one of the consequences of Netflix's weirdo JPlayer.
Oh wait, never mind, stock is 4.1, JPlayer isn't used... Probably just Samsung brokenness.
For example, my Xperia T has the following issues when outputting Netflix over MHL:
UI overlays do not appear
Anamorphic video is not scaled properly. (For example, Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix is anamorphic 640x480 video - e.g. it is stretched to display as widescreen and the pixels do not have a square aspect ratio, but when output over MHL it is displayed as if the pixels were square.)

Yeah, that what I've just noticed. The UI overlay does not properly works... I can't see subtitles in my tv screen.
Isn't there any player or another kind of soft to play netflix movies thorugh? or even better, a fix to it...
BTW... i bought the hdmi adapter for my galaxy s3 and now the image in the mobile escales perfectly to 1080p however the overlay issue is still there..., I'M NOT ALE TO SEE THE #"!#$&/( SUBTITLES... :crying::crying:
I hope there's a fix.

Sadly, this seems to be inherent to the HDMI mirror process, as I get the same on my Xoom and all my Moto phones: clear audio and video, but no overlays (controls, subtitles, etc.)
same with Play Movies
I have the same problem with my note 2, note 10.1, over hdmi adapter or allsharecast dongle both with netflix and play movies. Subtitles only on the tablet.
I have contact samsung and google about yhis annoying issue and they both try to blame each other instead of giving me a solution.
What I don't understand is how such a basic thing is not possible
When you use BS player and software encoder the subs is showing in the TV and the phone-tablet. I remember it was the same with the first Nvidia gforce graphick cards with comp-scart output on windows XP. I think it is a hardware problem. I think we need a new genaration og GPU hardware. Question is, what about Nvidia Tegra 4 chipset phones or Shield device???
Have someone got an android phone (could be LG X2) with a real HDMI output purhaps it is a MHL-HDMI problem
It's a hardware issue, yes- the movie is rendered via the hardware-accelerated video channel that also outputs thru the HDMI (and/or Miracast) streams. However, since subtitles (and other such overlays) are decoded and rendered outside the main video stream (that's done on a seperate video channel) that's normally overlaid over the display stream.
This issue isn't limited to just Exynos chips, either- I know for sure the Tegra2 and one of the QCT Snapdragons is like this, too; I suspect the issue actually comes from Hollywood, as DRM protection implies you can't manipulate the buffer that's displaying the external streams (yes, even for your own (non-DRMed) content, sadly), but don't quote me on this.
In order for a player to give you subtitles that display on external devices they'd have to render everything in software, and I don't think every stream will play smoothly that way. I do remember seeing a video player that does do subtitles on the All-Share Cast stream; I think it was the Archos one.
I think what you most have, is just a setting problem.
I have galaxy s3 and samsung tv connected through hdmi adapter.
By default this behaves exactly as my windows media pc, app. 10 pixels are cut on all sides. When you change your tv settings not to overscan, the image is perfect. In samsung tvs (tested 50" plasma and 22" lcd) you do this in by setting the size of the display, from 16:9 to customized. I have Finnish ui, so i do not know the exact terms.
In this way most of the programs work ok, including e.g. Xbmc.
But this does not fix netflix, it is seen on tv as 4:3 without any subtitles. So i would blame netflix first.

Hi, I wasn't too sure of where to post this, since it's not a device-specific question, but I hope you guys can help me out.
I need to setup a wireless security system that uses a CCD camera, but instead of having to buy a display monitor, I'm wondering if I can use an AV to HDMI/USB adapter to stream the video feed on my Nexus 7 with some sort of 3rd party video player app.
Anybody know if this can be done?

The device can't be used as a display like that, but there are several IP camera apps on the market if you want to go that route. Good luck!
If this has been asked elsewhere, I apologize.
I have a Philips Android TV (android 10), and I'd like to use it as an extended display for my windows 10 laptop.
From what I've read, it's supposed to be supported kinda automatically by windows since both devices are on the same network, but windows 10 can't find the TV as a display device. It was my understanding that since both devices use/support Miracast then it should just work but ... not for me
Unless I'm missing something Teamviewer, VNC, etc all just mirror the display - I want to be able to use the TV as a true second monitor.
Possible?
Thanks in advance!
HI,
no - Android TV does not support Miracast - only Chromecast
Just use the Google Chrome browser on your PC to cast your Desktop.

I appreciate the response. Before posting my question, I googled it and the first answer said it was supported - I should have read further - my bad.
I'm aware of (and use) Chrome remote desktop which works great, but I'm looking for an extended desktop solution, not simply mirroring.
Thanks for your time. GC

Hi Gneechee,
you can try Spacedesk.
For me it works like a charm. (Philips Android TV)
In Windows - your TV appears as a real second screen - with the advantage of a wireless screen.
Best

Hey there Hans, thanks for responding!
Not sure why, but the Spacedesk android app isn't available for Android TV, so I just grabbed the APK and sideloaded it ... and it's working just fine!
Sideloading is my new best friend. haha
(maybe that should be on a T-shirt <G>)
Anyway, thanks mucho lots!

Various Android TVs come with Miracast / Screen Mirror Apps / Feature inbuilt - Maybe ought to check if yours does?
