[VideoTut] Video Live Wallpaper - Android Apps and Games

Hi there!
I did this video last year, when i found the Video Live Wallpaper-application. And i decided to do a quick VideoTutorial, showing how to apply an video and use it as a live wallpaper.
I havent seen any thread here with the same function as mine. But i do hope that if i misplaced this thread in wrong section or if it already exists, mod be nice with me .
Its filmed last year as i said, running Android 2.2 on my HTC Desire. The video i think is 480p, about 2mb large, this was required to have the video to float flawlessly on my phone.
Edit: How do i use the YOUTUBE-tag :S Sorry.

Full screen video inverted colors using gallery

I can't post this on the development forum so i'll ask this here.
I installed ARHD XE 3.5.2 Yesterday and everything is fine till this problem. I just play a video clip that i downloaded from youtube using freedi downloader. The video resolution is 360p so it wasn't full screen. I toggled full screen then the video colors became inverted. Change it to original size fixed the colors.
Videos that fit hd and show on full screen without need to set fullscreen are working fine with their regular colors.
Any solution ? Or this is a bug that happend to everyone ?
If someone can post this on ARHD XE thread i'll appreciate this.
Thanks
It's because of the faux123 0.1.8 that i installed few hours ago. I just changed to bricked kernel and everything works good again.

Screencast video capture

Haven't seen this mentioned here but having bought it wanted to recommend it.
It lets you capture what you see on your phone either to pictures or mpeg 4 video and I must admit to being impressed with it.
It needs root access but is the best screen capture video tool I have found and might be useful for people wanting to make app reviews or video tutorials as you can also record audio.
It managed a tough challenge of recording in high definition the sunset live wallpaper which has a lot of animation in it, and did so very well so hopefully this will help people who might be after a video capture tool

[Q] Video playing problem on Android 4.11

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, this is my first thread.
I am in trouble with my tablet which is Onda v811.
I am having a video playing issue since I have updated my tablet to version 4.11 (on android 4.03 there wasn't a problem). Everything is perfect but the videos. When I want to play videos on browser (Dolphin, generally) or official Youtube app videos opening, playing but it is very small for the screen size. I make the video fullscreen but nothing changes. So, videos are opening, there is no problem with this but aspect ratio is not keeped and uses 1 of tenth of the screen, as I tried to show in the photo below.
Photo is not good but I drew lines to explain myself better.
White lines in the photo, marks the tablet's outer lines and screen. Inner yellow line surrounds the video. This is how a video looked on my tablet:
Picture: [http]://c1303.hizliresim.com/17/2/knwuc.jpg (sorry cannot paste links due to community rules)
I had uninstalled Adobe Flash Player and installed again (ver. 11.1) but didn't help. Searched the entire web but found nothing.
Has anyone got an idea about this problem? Any help is appriciated.
My English is not so good, sorry for that. I tried to explain, I hope i succeeded.

360 cam

Hey I just got my h5 and so far loving it. Has anyone gotten the 360 cam? I'm excited to get it but have a question on it. How does the process for sharing the photos work? If I were to share it with an iOS device, do I share it like any other photo and they can see the 360 effect ?

No - sharing has been the biggest challenge with the camera. But I absolutely love the camera.
If you text it to them, or even email it, it almost always comes as a flat jpeg when opened on a mobile device or even desktop/laptop.
What I have taken to doing is to upload it to either Google Photos or Flickr, and then sharing direct links to the photos via text or email, but even then on iOS they have to tap the photo (or the 360 icon) to see it in it's full mode. It's a bit of a challenge and Android has an advantage on viewing these on mobile devices at the moment (especially if you share the link via Google Photos).
On a desktop/laptop, Google Photos or Flickr both look really nice and there is not much more work to be done by the end user. It's much more intuitive on a bigger screen.
Videos are also a challenge - you can upload them to Facebook without much issue. Youtube requires you to package them first before they can be viewed as 360.
It's definitely an early adopter problem and will probably get easier in time.
I'm still debating on getting it. I love the idea

Question about video length: I read in the manual that at highest video quality, time is limited to 20 minutes. However it also says that if it hits the maximum file size of 4 GB that it will continue recording in a new file. So is it possible to record longer than 20 minutes, and does it just break it into extra files?

That was not true of the original software, but I haven't tried if since the two updates. It was originally limited to just 20 minutes at a time, and then you had to hit record again.
But if it's in the manual that way now, I will try it again right now with the May 24th update and see what happens!
EDIT: Just to update, it did not roll into another file and continue recording. At 20 minutes (2.44 gb) it stopped recording and that was it (Software version R10510e).
OK, thanks for testing it out. Too bad, that is the one thing holding me up from buying one.
As long as there won't be a way to see pictures and videos without an online service, I won't buy it.
I haven't tried to share videos yet, but for the photos sphereshare.net is pretty cool. They have an Android app as well. I used my cam pretty heavily the first few days after I got it...Now it just sits. :-/
Video sharing remains an issue.
So far, the only way to get decent stitching is to download it from the 360cam wirelessly to the G5, then share that file.
Pulling the video off the microSD card from the 360cam, injecting the spatial metadata as instructed on this page:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6316263
and uploading those results to youtube gives really sh*tty stitching.
Has any tried taking a photo/video from two of these next to each other and putting it into a 3D 360 file for use in VR headsets? I really don't understand the point of using a VR headset with a 2D image, even if it is 360 degrees.

You don't need to bother with any of that. Just upload the video to YouTube and wait for a few minutes after the processing has finished. the 360 video works very well with YouTube with no stitching.
EDIT: I checked for another firmware update today and there was one waiting.

Hmm, the ones I uploaded without the 360 mod never got converted. And the ones that had the mod had crappy stitching.
Maybe I need to wait longer for the non-modded version to get processed?

Only if you don't edit the video in youtube editor. If you want to upload the original video, it does just fine, but cutting the time of the video down or fixing potential shaking and it won't be recognized as 360. At least in my experience.
I just started using it as a dashcam, it's pretty neat the only issue i have right now is the 20 minute limit, gotta figure out a way to have it start a new recording after the 20 minutes.

Here's an attachment picture of the auto 'stitching' boundary done by Youtube. Not good at all, compared to what you view on the phone after downloading:
Now, this was recorded without the more recent firmwares, just the one it came with.
I just upgraded the more recent 10G version, so maybe that makes a difference to youtube.

That's what I mean. The YouTube stitching is awful (using their tool).
Yes, you have to wait for quite a long time for the YouTube conversion to happen automatically after you upload the file. The longer the video, the longer the wait.
EDIT: I have noticed that the stitching is much worse in poor light conditions. Bright light, no problems.
So, still no way to selh host his videos/photos in 360. No self hostable player ?
I mean, I host all my services on personal servers at home, and don't want to be dependant of youtube/wathever to host my videos.
Questions about video :
The video resolution, is it only 2k?
Can we record 1080p? If yes, is it also limited to 20 minutes?
Thanks
Anyone able to upload 360 picture directly to and have it show up properly?
Can't seem to be able to do it

Directly to what? I've been Hawaii this weekend and am giving my 360 cam a good break in... take pictures, transfer to phone, upload to Facebook flawlessly so far.
