[REQ] HD2 as PS3 media control

Hi guys!
As a lot of other people, I use my PS3 more as a media center / Blu-Ray player, then I'm actually playing on it. Every time I sit down to watch a movie from my media server or a BD-disk, I'm annoyed of how bad the PS3-remote looks. Especially when my beautiful HD2 is always laying next to it.
So:
I was hoping that some of you geniuses here might have the same impression as me, and see the value in a "HD2 PS3 media control"-app, which uses Bluetooth.
I would think that it only needs directional buttons for maneuvering in menus, a OK-button, the "Playstation"-button and the 4 actionbuttons; X, O, [] and /\.
With so many PS3-owners in the world, I'd guess that this application would be quite "sellable" for the developer as well
Cheers, Eirik.

Would like it =D!

HD2 as PS3 media control
Hey
Go to mobilesrc.com and try Mobile Remote. Works pretty well on my Touch Pro 2. Didn't get my HD2 in the mail yet. Might not be exactly what your looking for but it works with the PS3.

hmm.. i'm watching this thread.. this could prove to be interesting..

Hi
Mobile remote is ugly .... and send me an error :10038 (Failed to load driver)
Another idea ?
Thx

I asked the dev already, Mobile Remote does not work with HD2 bluetooth stack.

I made a little "mock-up" of how this might look, and would enable us to control most of the PS3's functions with the HD2's brilliant touch screen.
Unfortunately I was neither allowed to post the picture, the link or even put the link to the picture in a code-box :-/

Anybody? ... anything?

Thats kinda funny.. this isnt a media controller its a skin a made for one of the layers in swype..

I think this might already be possible.......
I remember reading about some using their hd 2 to browse photos on their ps3 so........
anyone tried gremote?

[Q] not one decent musicplayer!

hi all,
as an older user, i have ripped all my vinyl and my cd's to mp3 on a dedicated
hard disk. Every album ripped to a folder with albumart.
I have a dell streak 5 inche and a archos 101 10 inche mobile and tablet.
I have no intention to synchronise all my albums to my streak and or archos. It's just stupid! I just want to see the coverart like i see it in silverjuke and then just stream the music from my harddrive to my phone or tablet.
The new musicplayer from honeycomb was close for the coverart but i still cannot stream the files to my phone or tablet.
- excemple of silverjuke coverart

Anyone an idea or suggestion..an musicplayer that just keeps the coverart and the links to the files on the tablet or mobile and streams the musicfiles over the network.

You could try AudioGalaxy.

cruzin_cruzing gives you the very best advice for streaming your music and you dismiss him because it doesn't look like silverjuke?
Seriously, that's a douche move bud. Either take good advice, or search for something yourself. And just so you know, you won't find any app better than AudioGalaxy for streaming your music right now.

Audiogalaxy is amazing I'm able to play on my phone my entire 40+ gb music collection on my phone. It streams from your computer, you can even queue the music you want to play next. Its really ingenious, I like it!

If you don't want to register on a site then "Subsonic" does pretty much the same as Audio Galaxy, but without the registration. You will need to open up your firewall to allow the connection in to the pc though.
I'm using it now and really impressed with it.

Yeah, and then at the end of the 30 day free trial, you'll have to "donate" to keep using it on your android phone...
I hate forced donations...

yeah cause it's still not the musicapp i'm looking for.
If i want to stream and play something WITHIN my own network, i don't want to
1. install a server or something like that on the hostpc
2. register on a website to do something on my own network
es file explorer can stream everything from my shares on my network, so i don't see any reason why others can't do it with a musicapp.
so still waiting for someone to make it

Have fun waiting; or you could always write your own app. Have fun!
Edit: BTW, you should change the title of this thread. You're not looking for a decent player, there are many of those around. You're just too picky and like to easily dismiss good alternatives.

Early XBMC build

My Apologizes I forget where I found this. I will update with proper credit if I find it.
This is an early build of XBMC. http://xbmc.org/theuni/2012/07/13/xbmc-for-android/
Considering the early build and that I only have 76 megs of ram free on my KF when Xbmc is idling. This build runs pretty smooth.
Out of the box.
It played .mp4 .avi .m4v like a champ
It played .avi .mp4 that are still in rar packages, over a SMB share from my nexus s like a champ.
It played a (unprotected) rtmp stream .
mms , asx streams no problem.
I didn't mess around with plug-ins too much, but It loaded addons from the desktop version.

I'm going to go try some obscure video formats and see how long it takes to melt my kindle.

Looking sexy on Jelly Bean too.

Wow it works awesome! So can we set this up to stream files ( music,video,etc) from xbmc on my desktop to xbmc on the kindle?

I'm amazed at how smoothly this is running and surprised at its stability. I'm really looking forward to the official release.

Hi there,
You want to do one of two things.
Set up a samba share (the normal network shares in windows) or even better set up a DLNA server. There are programs around to make this super easy. TVersity is my favorite, you just point it towards the folders and let it run, unfortunately its been $4 since version two but if you look around enough you might be able to find a free earlier version.
Once you have done this XBMC will discover them on the network and you can add them as libraries.

I've been using Serviio on my headless linux box to stream online sources through upnp to my fire. I've been able to get hulu content as well using the plugin in the forums. There is also a Windows version; however, I have not tried it.

I just learned about xbmc the other day, now i get to tinker with this.....great post indeed.

Can you show me how you can install Navi-X on KF?

Hi there...
I couldn't figure out how to get Navi-X install on KF. 'Cuz every time is says " your device isn't compatible with this version"
Can you tell me how did you get it work? Thank you very much!
My KF is rooted with stock rom 6.3.1.

Updates
Miniand Tech has been compiling updated builds. You can find them here
Edit: New builds may take a minute or 2 on the initial startup. After that the latest launches fine.

Try MX Player from the Playstore. It may prompt you to download an extra codec, but I haven't found a video format that it won't play. Plus, it has a really useful UI with gesture controlled volume, screen brightness, etc.:thumbup:

sorry for the delay man. here the link to the file..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/007e2cdqm...stance [1280x720 Hi10P BD FLAC][343A4161].mkv
hope u can check it..

I downloaded it, and got it to play in a couple of different devices. It would only play in MX player and none of the stock players. However, the video was not very smooth and the audio cuts in and out, even on my PCs leading me to think that there is something wrong with the video. Maybe it became corrupted during the encoding/converting process.(?) It's a pretty cool video though. Where/who is it from?
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Hm might be bad encoding.. imma try other mkv file.. the video is from an anime Mobile Suit Gundam Seed.. my favorite anime of all time..

Anyone having trouble playing videos?

For me the built-in YouTube player in apps (reddit sync, etc.) doesn't play anything. Also tried MX player and it plays for couple of seconds before crashing.

Both of these are known problems and have been since release. Apparently you can tweak settings to get MX Player to work pretty well but you can't play videos in the Google Play Store, Reddit Sync, Tapatalk or any other app that embeds YouTube videos.

Has there been any response from nvidia?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk

They acknowledged on the Nvidia forums a couple of weeks ago that they have the problem as well but haven't said if or when it will be fixed.

Important to fix. Have many problems playing Videos in several Apps.

FYI mx player has been updated for k1 HW+ support.

Hi all, this is my first post .
I had the same issues , there I 2 things to check /do that fixed it for me.
1. Check you host file in the /etc/ folder , make sure that there is a "#" at the beginning of the 2nd line , I had about 10items in my host file , I deleted all apart from the first 2 lines ( if you don't know what you doing , do not delete anything just add the #)
2. Uninstall the YouTube app upgrade .
Both have worked for me .
Also try stoping auto sync and backup .
Sign out and back into google .
