HTC X7501 Advantage Cant Video Stream???

Just wondering..
According to www.Phonearena.com the HTC X7501 Advantage DOESNT support video streaming.
Forgive me if i am mistaken, but does that mean i can take a video with the Advantage, but as soon as i have done so, i cant play it back on the actual X7501 Advantage itself?
If thats the case, it sucks!! Kinda stupid.
Anyway around it?
playback != streaming

[Q] Supported video files

Does the Inspire support wmv files?
Thanks
It certainly does. No one could/would answer this for me before I bought it. But yes it does.

Bluetooth headphones audio lag in netflix app

Hey guys,
I recently bought the jaybirds bluebudsx headphones. I love them for the most part, however I'm getting some audio lag when trying to watch netflix movies. Confirmed it's not happening with speakers or normal plug in headphones.
Also doesn't seem to be happening with local video files though. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Yep, same here with Jaybird Freedom Sprint, running Android 4.4.2 and Netflix 3.1.0. YouTube, Vimeo and local vids fine.
You'll get the usual "Bluetooth is laggy" rubbish from some of the answers here, but on different devices (i.e. laptop) my headphones work fine with Netflix.
Nexus 10 running 4.4.2 not quite as bad, but still there.

Amusingly my Nexus 7 has even worse lag.
On the Nexus 5 I tested with some videos through Diceplayer and MX player and no audio lag. For some reason only the netflix app.

Nvidia Shield Tablet with XBMC

Got XBMC installed on my nvidia shield tablet but does anyone know if there is a way to get DTS or Dobly Digital bypass to work?

I too hope someone has a solution for this, I was really pissed off when I realize that the tablet could only output Stereo.
Why make a tablet that can double as a Console/Media Station and not support DTS or Surround.

i was thinking about getting one, but if it cannot do DTS, then there is no hope for DTS-HD then
Streaming to plex gives also only stereo out. Very bad.
This is typical with nvidia its same when using hdmi on their desktop GPU's
Just search online nvidia HDMI 2 channel
Might want to bring it up on their forum

Ahhh for real I just got a shield tablet lastnight and im running XBMCHUB install right now so I didnt get a chance to try it yet. But I cant believ this wont be fixed soon even ouya updated to allow passthru a few OTA's ago and nvidia is sooooooo much more capable then ouya. Ill keep my fingers crossed, otherwise im loving this tablet. But my favorite part of a new device is always the initial setup/tryout phase I think I have more fun optimizing and solving problems then I do actually using these things.
I tried brining this up on the forum, but a lot of people defended Nvidia saying it was the App developers fault?!
Saying the fault lied with Netflix, Plex and others. Even though these apps work fine on other devices...
One person claims he was able to get it to work with MX Player.
I have a hard time believe that, as I've also tried MX Player, with AC 3 and DTS file, none of them worked.
Could there be some truth to this? If the Tablet manufacturer decided to cheap out an not included hardware decoding for AC 3 and DTS, could Software manufacturer patch it in software?
Though, since I paid 300$ for the damn tablet, I don't see why it would be up to every damn app manufacturer to have to pay for the DTS and AC 3 license and could see why they would never do...
Perhaps if my tablet is rooted, I could install something to cheat this...

i dont belive there is, i belive its a license the nvidia may not want to pay.
HTMC was released on the play store and it seems to support DTS.
Playing DTS is not the problem, DTS and AC3 (Dolbly Digital) pass through is what this thread is about. Being able to connect your tablet to an av receiver and have DTS come out instead of stereo.

[Q] MX player video out functionality?

Hello. I love MX player. It supports a very wide range of file types and codecs. I have recommended this product to numerous people. For me, the premium upgrade is a bargain and I am happy to pay it.
Having said that..... there is one thing that I am struggling with. Does this player offer any type of video out capabilities?
In particular, I have a Dragon Touch A1X android tablet running 4.4 firmware. The MX player works great on this device. However, it does have a mini-HDMI port on it, and I would love to be able to cast from the tablet to my HD television set.
Can someone please educate me on what is the best way to accomplish this........ or if it is even possible at all?
Thanks in advance.

Mirroring is handled by the Android system. Casting, there's a pinned thread on this topic, you should read that.
