Hi All....
Glad to be part of such an effective forum.
I've already searched the forum for what i want. Hence starting a new topic.
What i want to do is:
- Play something on my PC. i.e., a movie file.
- Listen to it over BLUETOOTH on my Android phone
WiFi, Internet is not an option for me.
Reason:
I've a new 24' Display and hence wanna view it at a distance using my phone to do the wireless work over bluetooth.
I've used GRemote Pro. Its to just control your pc's mouse pointer mostly.
I need audio to be streamed over to the phone.
Specs:
Win 7 32 Bit
Android 2.2 Phone. SGS i9000.
I've added my query as a general question as it must be the same for all android phones
Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Somniloquist
Hi all,
I'm looking for help in identifying the exact hardware of my android TV box. It was sold to me as a CS918, but it has working Bluetooth so I'm told that means its NOT a CS918.
It came with Android 4.2.2 on it, but seems to be handicapped to 720p video and all I can get out of it is stereo audio (on SPDIF). From reading various posts it seems this is a kernel issue, so I am after a custom ROM, but need to know what the hardware is before re-flashing the device.
It came preinstalled with Beyond XBMC and I have also tried official XBMC V13 (Gotham) and found both refuse to configure for anything other than 720p. The confusing thing is that the TV is reporting a 1080p signal on the HDMI.
I have attached (or tried to) an image of the PCB in hope this helps identify the hardware.
In summary, can anyone tell me what ROM will work on this device giving me 1080 and surround sound from it when I run XBMC or a variant?
Thanks
Hi!
I am planning to buy TASKER app in order to control my TV Android HDMI Dongle. But I'm not sure whether it will work or not? I would appreciate if anyone has some experience with this and inform me or guide me to relevant information source.
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
so i bought an Android TV a while ago (Sony Bravia KDL-50W805C) and im quite happy with it.
Now i would like to be using Skype, which unfortunately isnt officially supported. I installed the regular Skype APK manually and the App itself works very well. I then bought a UVC-compatible Webcam which doesnt seem to work properly with any app i tried on TV.
Using Skype, i can establish a connection and the webcam is turned on (can tell from the LED flashing) and the webcams microphone is also working. However, no image is coming. Im guessing its some access restriction. I dont see any technical reason why this would not work.
The Chipset of my TV is some Mediatek ... i can tell you better if this should be of importance. Maybe anyone here is able to help me out or point me in the right direction.
Thanks already!
Same issue here, but maby on something
Hey
I have the same issue as Idle_King, but i have begin to do some research. My tv is a sony bravia w80c and I use a logitech c920 as webcamera.
I installed/side loaded skype from my sony experia z3+ with Ez file explorer. Then i relized that the camera and mic dident work,
My first tought was that the webcam dident support otg, so i insertered my otg cable in my z3+ and connected the camera... Nothing happend
The otg camera app found nothing.
After a bit of investigation i found that is a function that need you to identify the usb device, so when I done that, it showd up in the app, so now I know that the camera works like a otg device
I sideloaded the same app to my bravia tv, and it is the same issue here, so i sideloaded an other app (easy otg checker). Maked a search for otg devices and it found my conected webcamera.
So i think that sony must have some sort of usb identify filter that denies the camera to start/connect. So where should i begin to search? Or is it someone that have a solution to this problem?

hi, i'm having the same problem here, did you solve it?
Hi. looking for the whole forum I came for someone to help me with the same problem but I see that nobody has been able to solve it. I have a samsung smart tv and I can not connect it with Skype. If there is someone who knows the solution, I ask you to help me please.

i am using cam of older bravia cam to new bravia (android) ...didnt work1
Don't know if it helps.
BUT
I successfully use a camera called Canyon CNR-WCAM513G1 (1.)
with WhatsApp on a userless Android X86 running on a VM in order to scan QR codes from WhatsAppDesktop
This VM is a device that has WhatsApp Android app installed and connected 24/7 to the internet, so I can use WhatsAppDesktop on all paired computers without messing around with my phone
Good that I do not use WhatsApp at all, maybe now I start using it, lets see. Side effect the picture that is transferred to the main camera of Android on the X86 is mirrored horizontally
Further I found this: The homepage of app Webeecam has the inofficial most complete compatibility list of webcams running on Android:

thank you
A bit of a niche question but I'm casting out a net...
I have an android tv box sitting around and I was wondering if I could use the box to convert cat 5/6 into HDMI. The box in question has both a HDMI and LAN port so I guess it would just be down to software? (Apologies if this is very naive)
What I want to know is has anybody seen anything similar? Anybody working on anything to do just this? Or is there an app that does this really well and I've just totally missed it? The android box is rooted and has busy box, I'm also not objecting to doing it in linux instead.
Cheers, Dan
