Just found a new app today; Qloud video. Got it up and streaming video from my desktop PC, looks like a good alternative similar to AirVideo for iOS.
Video comes through great; can't get it to play sound though. Tried multiple filetypes and two seperate phones.
Anyone else wanna give it a shot and see if they get sound? Wondering if its just my phone?
I have nexus one and dell streak, both seems to work just fine. I do notice the volume is a bit low for some video, have you turn the volume to maximum?
Yeah Media Volume is up high and phone isn't on silent. Tried on my roommate's Galaxy S phone and still no dice, wondering if I'm missing something on the server side of the app....

Just installed this app on my G2. It's kind of lite on the instructions.
Is there a desktop extension? where did you download it?
*edit*
found the download site for the needed desktop app:

Big time fail!
Apparently you need to have Itunes and Bonjour for this to work

Where do you get the idea? No, it does not require Bonjour to work, it will be easier if you have Bonjour installed, but it will work regardless of Bonjour.
The difference is when you are in LAN environment, Bonjour will let you see the server in server list automatically, otherwise you just need to enter the IP and port manually, it works just fine.
3g issues
I have this working great over my home network problem is I can't get it to connect over the internet on 3g or other wifi network. I have been waiting for something to replace air video, which I had on the iPhone, this is very promising if only it would work over 3g, will try to the developers as there is very limited help online

Just got the mail from dev, they said android 2.1 and 2.2 only support RTSP streaming, which means it never works too well over 3G.
For Android 2.3, however, they are using Http Live (the same protocol as iPhone streaming), that should work just as great as Air Video.
works awesome on latest cm7 daily, get sound and video, running at highest bitrate it allows, never even stutters, i cant thank you enough OP for "hipping me to this". Perfect framerates too. honestly, its like i copied it over to my phone
the error I'm getting is "remote server is unreachable" whenever I try to connect outside my network, anybody else having this issue?
UPDATE: Ok this is working over the internet if the computer running the server is not behind a router, have tried with two different routers, ports are open everything seems fine but connection cannot be made. Has anyopne gotten this to work with a computer behind a router? I am using a NETGEAR WGR614 also tried with an airport base station, with both of these the error comes up "remote server is unreachable", this from the phone. If you did get this working what router are you using and what is your setup?

Hello
*#*#*# BEFORE YOU READ ON only people who have a wind mobile xt720 and dexters uk 1.2 upgrade need to read on*#*#*#
I am a noob at this but I spent most of my day researching the dexter uk upgrade 1.2 (2.2.1) and how to properly install it and I have some questions
I have seen some people saying they have issues with 720p recording(i.e not being able to get 720p resolution and only sd res) and some having issues with music playback.
Can anyone with a wind xt720 confirm these issues? If they are true or not? I ask because there seems to be alot of conflicting reports.
I would cry if something happend to my music playback abilities and I dont want to lose out on the 8 megapixel camera or its 720p hd recording.
If you need any more info just ask and THANK YOU to anyone who maybe able to help me.
And of course ALL HAIL DEXTER and what he has done for everyone who has the xt720 already

Not only ppls from Wind but over the whole world trying Dexter's ROMs have this issue where HD video recording is not recording anything. Just now Dexter said he's fixed that problem and will upload the patch soon.
So, if u don't want to loose ur 720HD, wait till the final stable release has come out. Just now, Dexter has not finalized his work yet. We're just helping him to try out the ROM and reporting the bugs to him.
hd recording found bug and there is no media gallery... gameloft game did work... dunno y it doest detect ext2/ext4..

version 1.2 is detecting ext2 correctly. I'm currently using it. Dexter remove Media Gallery coz currently it cannot playback videos. if u need for other purpose, download the app and install it.
As spider mentioned, there is a patch for the HD encoding. I haven't tried it myself yet though as it is not a big issue for me. I will eventually once I have tested out all of my favourite apps. So far I love froyo, it is much easier to customize the phone to how I like it. A couple of the apps I used on 2.1 don't have a froyo version, but most of them I don't need any more as the functionality is already built in.
I'm also on WIND mobile in TO btw, and my install was very smooth.
I forgot my USB cable that day and ended up doing it all over the air.
THANK YOU EVERYONE I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!! Thanks.!!!!!
I am going to attempt the latest 2.2 update apparently dexter has fixed the 720p recording, i tell ya this guy is a genius!!!!
i will give you an update when I complete the updgrade.
media player issues
Hey again,
I completed the updgrade and I love the new 2.2.1 1.2a but now I am having a major issue,
before I did the upgarde I moved all my musc to my computer and backuped the device through motorola medialink(MML), the first problem came when medialink did not recognize a playlist I had created on the phone. I said no problem I will just remake it. Well now I restore the backup to the phone and only have 70 of my 1000+ songs showing up in the music player, none of my playlists show up either, although when I plug the phone into my comp MML recognizes all the songs and my playlists as being on the phone, I can even play them on the comp. When I disconnect it and restart the phone I dont see any playlists and like I said only about 70 of my songs show up, I have tried three different mediaplayers to solve this issue with no luck,
CAN ANYONE HELP ME??????

There is a known issue with media scanning in 1.2a. To the best of my knowledge you can either use 1.2 which will not do 720P recording or 1.2a which has the media issue. If you want to stay with the 1.2a you will need to try a different music player such as MortPlayer (which I believe doesn't do play lists ) or, I've also been watching, kAmMa's Folder Player for Android (which I haven't tried yet).

thanks man, going to revert to 1.2 and hope it fixes the problem!!!
Some other options... you could consider sticking at 1.1b. It works pretty well, imo.
Or you could use DoubleTwist... which has its own library system... but requires you to use the desktop app to sync.

yah I know about this one, its one I tried, Just not sure if I want to spend the next few hours sorting all my music again lol.
It does have some kool features though
THanks again for the help !!!!!!
I tried to use double twist media player and I installed the app on my phone and pc, on my pc I made a playlist, transfered the playlist to the phone, it was on my phone until I rebooted then it vanished. Still seems to be a problem with media scanning, I also tried Mixzing basic and the regular music player with no success.
Thought I'd make a thread for things that do work well on the Sensation and may make people stick to this phone until the other issues are resolved.
DLNA function: I spent a few hours putting my Samsung TV on my network and I can send video, pics and music direct from my phone to my TV via Wifi from anywhere in the house and its very very good. I have a film in AVI and it steamed perfectly.
Forward SMS to email: I think this is in 2.3.3 anyway but useful when phone it unusable like at some work places.
Built in streaming: I can scan music, videos and pics from a file server and play them on the phone directly with no additional software.
Lexar 32 gig MicroSD Class 10: Definitly works fine in this phone. Check Amazon
Built in slideshow as wallpaper: I like having different background images randomly and this is good for that. Point it at a folder full of images (I have a folder full of downloaded landscapes, sea, etc., type images specifcally for this. It replaces the need for things like Wallpaper Rotator. Only snag is that it changes the images every 30 seconds or so so it maybe CPU intensive (doesn't seem to be though). I'd rather it was hourly but can't see anywhere to change it.
Please add others as you find them.
Lockscreen icons and lockscreen animations: I like having weather animations or my photos spinning around under the lock screen, looks cool. Also being able to change the lock screen icons does make that feature quite handy

Make sure you have Wi-Fi turned on
(Also ensure Media Centre on your PC is set to share music, videos etc)
Go to Gallery
At the top where it says ALBUMS, click and select Media Servers
Select your PC
Mine says Media PC: Media
then it will find the catagories of the files it can find, you just chose what you wish to play
It really is that simple!!

If your streaming server is any good it can transcode .mkv on the fly to something the phone can play.
I'll go try it with an MKV file right now...bear with me, wife has the remote
I am using Windows 7 as the media server, btw
No good with MKV. None of the players on my phone will play it natively even though my Samsung TV plays them fine from a hardrive or memory stick. On my phone I have Divxplayer (or demoplayer) and moboplayer and they wont play it on the phone itself, let along anywhere else. Need a player that supports these. I think the Desire used to play MKV with Divxplayer but I don't think it likes the Sensation resolution.
Anyone any ideas?

Thanks! That is simple! Not tried it yet, but presumably it will work with the built-in Windows Media Player server of Windows 7, and also TVersity, just like my PS3 does and can see both.
Could you please advise as to whether HDMI mirroring works, particularly in landscape mode?
Also do you have a Wiimote? The BT stack should support it but I see people asking this question feverishly as though they're concerned... I think it should work, but now everyone's casting doubts in my mind.
PS. You're a lucky bastard lol... I'm dying to get a Sensation!!

Rock player supports mkv also try using skifta to stream it via dlna
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Rockplayer may support MKV but it doesn't like the resolution or something because it drops out as soon as it starts to play. Actually Rockplayer plays MKV fine on my wife's Desire so it must be a resolution issue because as the Sensation is qHD
I am having a problem with any media player except the stock one. I want to use a 3rd party media player, so that I don't have to convert my movies to something compatible with the stock media player. the problem is whenever I use a 3rd party media player, I hook the phone to my tv, and the movie plays for a few minutes, then it stops, and loses my place, this is very irritating. This doesn't happen on the the stock media player. Does anyone have any ideas? I have tried at least 6 third party media players, and they all stop every few minutes... For now I am just converting my movies for use with the stock player, but this is time consuming.
it depends on what app you're trying to use. you might want to see if there's an extra codec pack. i know that mobo player has a lot of add-on codec packs. if this is the case and the dev is smart, the codec packs are usually in the market, just like the original program.
also, you may want to try something with soft decoding included, if you're not already.

Most of the players had soft decoding, and it isn't a codec pack, the videos play, but suddenly stop. The only one that doesn't do that is the stock one. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you all use the stock player?
does it only do it when using tv out or does it happen on the device screen, also? what rom/kernel are you using?
Have you. Tried remote for vlc? I think you can play media on the sd card. Not sure haven't tried it but worth a shot if you haven't.

So it seems to only do it when using the tv out function, which is really cruddy, because I don't want to watch movies on my tiny phone, I want to watch them on the big tv. I am using Bulletproof 1.0, and the stock kernel. I am going to try remote for vlc right now, but I am thinking the problem is something to do with the tv out function.
I understand the frustration. My educated guess would have to be that it has something to do with a kernel conflict. Try a different rom and/or kernel. There are, also, some updates for bulletproof now, too.

If I remember correctly this happened on other roms too, but I will try again. I tried the new bulletproof, but I liked the old one better. I haven't tried a different kernel though, so I will start flashing different kernel/rom combos, to see if it makes a difference.

Sorry, I missed this thread. I'm kinda skimming over the boards while i'm doing paperwork and such, so i'm skipping over things and not realizing it. (hate januaries, always so busy)
Anyways, it's a codec issue. You'll only get the problem when outputting to tv - and soft-decoding only solves part of the problem.
What's happening is your file format is too far away from what the hardware can handle easily while it's also trying to feed the video out and keep the screen active on the device.
Even though you check soft-decoding in the app, without proper codecs installed it defaults some or all of the work back to the hardware.
I use Mobo Player, free video app and is hands-down my favorite one on Android. It lets you choose soft-decoding in the settings menu, but they also supply a codec you can find in the market.
I'm using the ARM V7_VFP codec from the same author as Mobo Player, and don't have a problem with it. When I do reflash and forget to install it then it goes back to randomly cutting out while i'm enjoying my movie/show or whatever.
Edit: This Google Market Link will get you to the right codec for our device.
I suppose I should have mentioned something about it in my ROM thread, since I included it in Bulletproof for that reason - but, there's a lot going on here lol.
I should have seen this thread yesterday, but I suppose i'm looking at it the wrong way since I get to skim the forums while i'm getting work done. (as opposed to not being able to browse them at all.)
Anyways, Mobo Player is free, and so is the codec, so all you lose for trying is time - give it a shot and see where it gets ya.

Thanks, I am flashing bulletproof 1.1 again, and hoping to get things running well. I will keep you updated. I was running bulletproof 1.0, so I think that was what they were talking about , when they said there was an update.
So, you've motivated me to look a little deeper.
Looks like Wifi-calling is also causing a whole mess of trouble on the device.
It can't do something, and keeps trying, which is part (if not all of) why the system can't keep up with a movie.
I just removed it from my build a little while ago after I couldn't get it to play nice, and I can't describe how much more smoothly my system is running without it (minus a couple of hiccups because it's not there anymore and things are expecting it to be)
I'm going to rebuild a Bulletproof distribution without the wifi-calling and see what kind of data I can dredge up to compare to - but I have a feeling this is the other piece of the puzzle for why it's not working right.
I'm on the same version of wifi-calling that has been around for a while - I think there was an update to it in one of the OTA updates? Can't remember.
I'm pushing the edge of exhaustion, it's been a few days, so i'm probably not gonna get to it tonight, but it's the next thing on my list. Figured i'd mention it here in case anyone wanted to experiment with it in the meanwhile.
I'm not kidding when I say it's literally like a whole new device without wifi calling - I honestly can't believe what a difference it's absence is making.

You deserve your rest! I just wanted to report back, that I am still having the same problem. I updated to bulletproof 1.1, and installed the codec that you linked to, still had the problem. The movie will play for a few minutes, and then suddenly stop. I then installed all the codecs for mobo player, and still nothing. I can't remember if this happened on the stock rom or not. My boyfriend is still on the stock rom, so when he come by tonight, I will test a 3rd party media player on his, to see if there is still the same problem. If it works on stock, I may just flash back to stock for now, to save me the trouble of converting a lot of my movies. Thanks for all your help Blue.
Also, I can't wait to see the rom without wifi calling!
If you have the android sdk set up on a computer you can plug into, set your phone to usb-debugging/charge only and plug it in and watch the output.
You'll see the wifi calling app (kineto) going nutzo - i've been trying to mak it behave for a while because some people mentioned liking using it (even though it doesn't work so well) but tonight was the last straw with it.
Now that it's gone from my device, I can't tell you how much smoother it's been running. The whole output on my screen going all the way back to before I posted last (so, i've moved past the buffer in the log) and not one error msg.
That was unheard of with the wifi calling app on the device, and it made it look like it was more then one app causing the problem. Got rid of that one, and it solved pretty much the whole thing.
I wasn't having an issue with it crashing out of the movie earlier today - but I just set a friend of mine up with rooting his new MT4GS, so I flashed mine fresh alongside when we did his yesterday (day before?) ...
You might wanna try just axing that real quick before you go flashing all over again - just a thought
Finishing up my last call of the night, i'll catch up with you all tomorrow - hope it works out for you.

I do have sdk installed and working on my computer, but I am still a newb when it comes to actually using it lol. Just so you know, I had my boyfriend try to run a movie with tv out on my tv, with mobo player, and it crashed too, and he is on stock. The problem is definitely not rom related. I am going to try getting rid of wifi calling and see if that improves anything. I will let you know.

Appreciate the confirmation it's not ROM related - It's one thing for me to say it as the creator of the ROM, another thing for a third party to verify it.
Are you on a windows machine? If so:
In your SDK folder, go to the 'tools' folder. In it you will find a file called "ddms.bat"
Open this, and it will launch a DOS window, which then launches a GUI after a few mins.
Welcome to the dalvik debug monitor window.
Now what you do, is go to settings on your device. In the "Connect to PC" option, set it to "charge only"
Then, back in the settings menu, go to "applications" then "development" and make sure "USB debugging" is checked.
(also might be a good idea to check "stay awake")
Now you can plug the doubleshot into the computer without having it disable your sdcard access, and let it just run like normal.
Plug it into the computer, and you will see it pop up in the list in the dalvik debug monitor.
You can watch what it's doing and see if you have any issues.
It might help you to track down this problem, and see about a resolution. DDMS is one of the primary troubleshooting tools you should be using to figure out what's going on on your device.
Often times I just let one of my doubleshots stay plugged in to ddms while i'm sitting here, and just have the log running while i'm working on the laptop next to the pc. Familiarizing yourself with the device in this fashion will help a lot in terms of development, but even as just a user you will get a huge understanding of what the device is doing.
The first time it injected the A-GPS data while I was connected to DDMS was awesome - little things like that give you a huge understanding of what's going on.
Also, it'll keep running if you reboot the device while it's connected - lets you see what happens when it shuts down but also what happens when it first boots up.

Removing wifi calling has been such a great move - trying to fight with it and getting it to play nice is like trying to get water to flow uphill.
I just threw together a flashable Bulletproof zip without it and am getting ready to flash it to my phone, we'll see how this goes but I have a feeling that the wifi calling app is a large part of the remaining problem once the correct codec is installed and you have soft-decoding active.
Okay, something isn't right now.
For a while Moboplayer was working fine with soft decoding and output to television, but now I can't get too far before it fatally crashes out.
I am wracking my brain trying to figure out why it was working for a while but now is not - meantime, the generic player will output to television without crashing...but suffers the odd video issue present with hardware decoding that makes it not so great. Gets artifacts on-screen and doesn't properly display the video on the television smoothly, yet appears fine on the device itself.
There is an answer somewhere - i'm not sure what it is, but it'll be found ... we just need to keep trying.
Either need to figure out why any aftermarket player crashes (I think it has something to do with audio - but that could be misleading since the headphones jack we are using for video output counts as audio - at least in the logs)
Ive had the same issue with mx player,mobo player,v player with just the device itsel. I didnt have the codec packs for mx or mobo player installed at the time tho. I got vplayer working by changing the buffer & disabling hardware decoding. Here are the specs for the video I was playing at the time: Video 724 kbps xvid Audio 5.1 AC3 Resolution 640x272 2.35:1

yea...the apps never force closed only randomly stopped for me intially but. ok so far now with no stops. I havent watched ne other movies since then to really test it out. I also found an
alpha build of vlc player here http://dl.cvpcs.org/android/test/common/VLC-noneon.apk
What I'm looking to do with my SGS3 is WIRELESSLY mirror the audio, and video of my phone to a HTPC/Mac. Apple via "Airplay"allows for this in iOS and it works BEAUTIFULLY using a client on the pc/mac like AirServer, or Reflection. I find it difficult to believe that this is not available on an Android platform. The problem is, searching for such an app almost always results in finding remote desktop apps n such. Watch a video using Airserver or Reflection, and you'll see what I'm looking to do. I've seen media player apps that'll send videos/audio, but not by mirroring the actual Android device. I know I've gotta be missing this somewhere.
There's an app called MirrorOp Sender that sends the video to a connected receiver/client, but it's VERY slow, and does not support the transmission of audio. MirrorOP Sender also requires the device to be rooted. Not like that's a huge deal to me, but perhaps to someone else.
Thanks in advance!

Xda tv did a review of an app that does this. Look on their youtube channel. To late for me to find it. I'm sleepy.

Thanks Here's the video I think you might have been talking about. I was unawar that TeamViewer allowed for the control of a phone FROM a pc. I thought it was only to control a PC FROM a phone. Thanks! But it should be known, though this is a seriously cool option. Audio still does not transfer over the wifi, only two-way video communications.
And so the hunt continues for something like AirServer and Reflection on Android. Don't necessarily nee to control it from a pc/mac, but would really like a wireless audio/video presentation platform for Android.
Bringing this post back to life in hope someone has a new idea. Can someone please explain to me why the ability to mirror audio and video from Android to a PC/Mac isn't available yet? Thanks

I am looking for the same, Although the other way. I think there are bunch of apps to mirror your Display but audio is not possible due to some limitations in Android framework.

I too was looking for an app like this and honestly sat there and started to wonder why i actually needed it.. can you explain a senario where this make sense and why an app that beams audio/videois not a good enough solution. hell i am with you on having more options including a featuer like airplay mirror, but maybe untill such application exists i can suggest good enough work arounds because like you i spent MANY MANY hours trying to figure out how do do this mirror thing with no dice. but i did find nice workarounds..
Holy hell, finally I think we might have a solution. I haven't tried it yet, but clearly, we aren't the only ones in need of this feature.

Looks promising. SplashTop 2 works other way round but is too damn pricey.
Just reviving this thread because I am also looking for the same thing. That app posted in the last post, BQScreen, as far as I know doesn't differ from the one the OP stated. Both apps don't transmit any audio, they just mirror the screen. MirrorOp is kinda cool because you can control it both ways, you can also use your mouse to click buttons on your computer to control your phone. Keyboard also works so you can reply to all your whatsapp msgs from your computer but at the end of the day it doesnt transmit any audio.
I use a galaxy note 2 and have never had the need to do this before because both the tvs in my house that get the most use happen to have a computer in the same room and I have them set up to just send the computer's screen to the tv screen and use unified remote/xbmc remote to do whatever I want, thus ending the need for allshare cast/apple tv devices which in my opinion offer an inferior experience than a full fledged HTPC.
The problem is that I have a tv in a room in my house that is getting more and more use lately and it doesn't have any way of showing netflix or youtube or all the files I have in my media server, etc. Basicaly, no access to the internet and I bought the tv right before all the smartv craze started. I am now on the search of a way to mirror my phone's screen (or anyones) to that tv in order to give that tv some added value. Of course I would still need to have some kind of reciever in that tv to get it to work so I really don't know what I am searching for. In the end I will probably end up purchasing an allcast dongle and use it specificaly for that tv, that way all tv's in my house would have access to all the media in my house and the internet but if anyone here has another option, I am all ears.
I have google tv and youtube connects nicely, i'm not sure if that's what your looking for though. I just connect and it plays the video on my tv.
Reviving this i case the 4.3 framework has changed to allow this functionality. If someone with knowledge of such things can chime in that would be great!
Bumping this topic, years have gone by and still no solution?
mirror from koush is the closest thing ...
it's meant for airplay so you can just install airserver on your pc
Chromecast
Google Chromevast
Looking for the solution. AirServer works on Windows and promises Google Cast support but it looks like it only casts audio from Chrome desktop tab. Google Play Music app discovers the chromecast device but music doesn't start
