having just purchased an HTC media link for less than half the release price at £44 my next step was to check xda to see what type of hacks are available. unfortunately, repeated searching throws up little beyond the codec/filetype issues i'm likely to encounter.
is anybody working on the DG H100 firmware? am a little surprised to discover an htc product without any dev interest.
would be nice to see a minimal b+w gui & a more robust set of codecs - or is that a phone/pc problem? i'm just dipping my toes into DLNA so apologies if this is a stupid question.
any media link tips, links or suggestions welcome.

DG H100 on Desire Bravo
How are you getting on with the media link?
Your signature says that you have a Desire Bravo, are you using it with that?
The HTC site lists a load of phones that it is compatible with and the Bravo isn't on that list.
Would I be right in thinking that this just means that that phone wont work straight out of the box as it is missing the required native programs and I need to install an app to make the bravo a DLNA media server - e.g. iMediaShare Lite and that then i can *push* photos etc to my TV via the Media Link?
Any tips that you have will be appreciated, thinking of getting a media link, they look like a great gadget.
received it today and it works perfectly out of the box with my win7 pc & desire (same setup as sig).
the hotspot it sets up initially can be logged into through the pc - from where you can enter the ssid, encryption type & password for the home network. that's it.
watching a movie as i type. file is sat on the pc in the next room. selected on my desire with skifta, playing on the big telly.
in answer to your question, i've been using skifta to watch pc based files on my mobile for a few weeks, i'd suggest that if you can view things successfully using that method then it'd be worth adding the media link to your set up. from what i've read imediashare & twonky do much the same thing.
update
after a few weeks use, im considering an alternative NAS hd solution to wireless streaming to tv.
when the DG H100 works it's faultless. unfortunately around half of the media files i'm looking to view show up as unrecognised despite numerous attempts at converting to a media link friendly codec using http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/ - which allows hard coding of subtitles
So i just recieved a junxbox android tv its a small box capabale of hd video playback media streaming and playable apps .

I believe this is will get anyone the best results for HD quality and live tv streaming.
Instruction to load XBMC with external MX player and updated libRTMP:
1. Install the xbmcapp-armeabi-MX-v7a-neon-27.11.2012 XBMC
2. Locate the following folder: Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata and copy the Playercorefactory.xml file to this folder ( i did this with my computer i put the SD card in my computer and put the playercorfactory.xml file in the directory stated very easy to do and it works great.)
3. Copy "librtmp.so" file to this folder: /data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/lib (data is on the root of the jynxbox not the sd card).
All the files you need
anyone have any links to any notes on firmware development? original ROM source code?

That sounds very interesting! Please let me know how that turns out. Does it boot to text console or xwindows?
Is it based on a distro(Debian,Ubuntu,etc) or is it a custom buildroot image?
This sounds pretty cool I have a Roku box that I stream video off the web. I works great but if an android style player were to come out and be stable I might be pursuaded to switch. Also just letting you know that XBMC does have some pretty buggy plugins for it e.g. Hulu doesn't work for all videos in it. I know this from using it on my computer before I got my Roku. If a new interest was sparked these issues could disappear with official plugins from the video providers themselves.

This Jynxbox Android HD firmware has bugs in it that keep me from replacing my old Xbox with it full time. Its more a toy at the moment for me. Source codes would make it easier to track down and fix problems in it. (Anyone have em?)
That Linux image posted above is looking interesting. The boot splash says "XIOS DS media center" and it boots straight into XBMC for linux. (12.0-rc3 git:20130103-2318127) the jynxbox wireless internet works with this image, and the wireless remote works once you enable mouse support. USB keyboards work as well.
It connects to my samba server and plays all the videos I could try. (The jynxbox xbmc could not access my samba server and updated xbmc apks couldn't play my video files) so far its looking great.
Thanks phati for the heads up on that image. Where did you find it? Is there a public forum related to its development?
hey guys,
the description of the product (http://jynxbox.me/Product.aspx) says it has adobe flash 10.x on board.
will this allow me to stream all kind of content which is displayed in a flash player within the android browser?
www.my-entertainment.biz (hd free streams) e.g.? would somebody be so kind to test that. would be awesome!
thanks so far!

Edit:// Is this thing shipped from China? How long did it take til you get yours guys?
I received mine sent to me from a great guy named Cody who operates http://www.boxtoptheater.com. It was shipped to me from Canada and arrived in roughly a week after stock was replenished. So far I absolutely love the device and hope that custom roms might find their way to it, besides simple updates to XBMC that it operates for the media center aspects. Since the box comes pre-rooted, it should not be too problematic I imagine. Sounds to me that several set top units use the same board chip also. Everything seems to run well except games that only run in portrait mode for obvious reasons.
Once I receive my portable hard drive for it, and have the dvr functionality running, I'll post some videos on line for others.

When you run upgrade->local update, it will not list below files on Jynxbox Android HD box automatically, please press menu button on remote controls 8 times for it to show up.
I haven't tested it on the mini yet. But I assume it will works because both devices are the same build.

XBMC
Guys, where can I get fully working XBMC version for this box?
Hi,
I have recently bought the Measy U2A, only because I wanted to play XBMC on my non-internet TV via HDMI and connect this to my NAS.
This device seemed ideal as it was stated to be Neon-compatible and it was stated that this device could handle XBMC perfectly. Now, as I have tried to install every different version of XBMC for Android on it and I always get the same problem: XBMC crashes and gives a black screen from the moment that I let it do some heavier work (for example when he has added a location with movies and is scraping the content of this location). Any idea what could be done about this?
My sole purpose for the Measy was to use it as a mini-HTPC and the summary lines of this device made me believe it was possible so I hope I am overlooking something or that there is a solution to this problem. (I am using the standard skin, so even without using the heavier Aeon Nox skin it still crashes)
Thanks for the help!

Anyone?
Noob, so I cant post this where it actually belongs..
So I thought to give Surface RT a chance and bought one. I still have my iPad on the side, and I would like to get rid of it, if RT works for my purposes. Now I have few issues with mi new shiny device.
Question 1:
I have managed to "install" jailbreak and use some of those nice Desktop apps ported to Windows RT.
But I cant/dont know how to use ffmpeg0.6.
I have installed it, but when launching app it tells me about missing dll file. What can I do about it? There is no GUI?
Question 2:
I use Internet Explorer to watch some live hockey streams that are Flash based (also available on html5), but it seems to be somewhat too laggy. Is there something that might fix that?
Question 3:
Almost all my video files are AVIs and playback is terrible. Very low fps and stuttering audio and video. I have tried several media players from Microsoft Store but same issue with them all. Around 700 Mb *.avi files are not working properly and this could be a dealbreaker with this device for me... Is RTs processor just too weak, or is there someting that might fix this issue?
For the past couple of years i have been running my home Kodi / Android TV boxes setup via a couple of Ugoos X3 boxes accessing LAN stored media files.
Lately i have been getting frustrated by the poor wifi performance of the ugoos box and looking to upgrade.
There are various uses of the box (streaming sports events via the internet, better youtube) for which I find AndroidTV much preferable to Kodi so Sasvlad's dualboot option on my Ugoos X3 has been amazing for me. (By the way, I have been living under the presumption that simply running Kodi within Android will not be a great solution for me to get an optimal smooth Kodi experience - especially regarding accessing my SMB LAN stored library of media etc - is this a correct assumption?)
So...I was just hoping to see if anybody knew if Sasvlad's builds were still the best way to get the ATV / Openelec dualboot (or equivalent) that i want...and if so, what is the best current box for this? I am looking at Ugoos AM6 or AM7 or UT8, although all seem a little tricky to get ahold of in the UK.
Thanks very much if anybody has any input on this
