[Q] Has anyone been able to stream Uplay, Origin, or Minecraft? - Shield Q&A

Has anyone been able to stream Minecraft, Origin, or Uplay, or know how? I haven't had any luck.

I stream Crysis 3 and NFS and they are Origin games. I just add the game to Steam and play them that way.

Just add origin to your steam list and any compatible games will stream just fine, I do it all the time.

Sorry for the noob response...but how exactly do you add Origin to your Steam List?
Thanks for pointing in the right direction.

Allshare like app for Nexus S?

I just sold my Vibrant and bought a Nexus S and was wondering if there was another app like Allshare that I could use to stream movies from my PC to my phone.
I really like Allshare cause whenever my wife insisted on watching f'ing Jersey Shore I could allways bust out my phone and choose a movie from my library without have to get off the couch to upload it to my phone.

I'm not sure if we have the DLNA capabilities...I'll look around and see.

Swifta would work great if it would play different types of video files.

So we do have DLNA? I searched around and I couldn't find a definite answer.
Damn I was going to buy the nexus s but I use allshare all the time. Especially when family comes over. I stream the photos and hd home videos to my tv.
Do you think if I took the vibrant version and used it on the nexus it would work?
Dlna needed of course.

Twonky works for me, I stream to my ps3 and the nexus s does have dlna.

iMediaShare brings DLNA capabilities on any Android phone including Nexus S. In addition it also enable playback of online videos as well as sharing personal photos from Facebook and Picasa.
Hmmm.
I tried searching for imediashare (and scanning the QR codes that are on their website) but it's not showing up in my Market....must be a protected app or something.
Oh well.
Damn it. Maybe I could get the imedia apk found some where.

I read on another thread that the Allshare app on the Vibrant is tied into its framework and would have to be modified to work.

Try again. It should be there now
Last post is December, so did you guys find a way or did everyone settle with Twonky, Skifta and iMediaShare?
You can stream video with Gmote.
Although the dlna works fine I really wanted the AllShare app to control the TV, anyone know how to get it on the Nexus S or at least why can't we?!
Is there an OS version issue, cause I have downloaded like 3 AllShare apk but none works.
I`m currently using the 2.3.4 version.
Thanks in advance,

I run the Onlive using virgin fibre optic 10mb over wifi and it doesn't run that well. I'D say you would need something a bit faster or you may need to be. Closer to your router.
ALSO. DO NOT PLAY USING 3G it will not work and if it does :you will juice up all your data in an instance(10mins)

Does it exist? App to use Xperia Play controls on tablet.

Is there an app that will allow you to use the Xperia Play physical gamepad on other Android devices like a tablet?
I've seen a lot of remote control apps but they are only for controlling using buttons on the touchscreen.
It would be best if it didn't require root.
Check a post of that in this section

If you find one, please let me know. There's an app called something like droid mote server which I think allows you to do so but you need root which I don't have

It puts Xplay controls on the screen of the phone, so if your tablet has a game that supports Xperia Play you can use that. As of now it doesn't map the physical controller inputs.
Maybe trying with the game keyboard app and this one??

That's a great idea. Unfortunately, I don't have game keyboard so if anyone else could try?

Doesn't droidmote server work? It needs root and isn't free but surely if it doesn't work you could get a quick refund? i don't have root and i'm still looking. Tablet remote seems to be the best so far. If only the developer updated it to make it work with the physical buttons...

Infra Red & Virgin Media TiVo

Hi Guys!
Just thought I'd point out, the ir works with the Samsung TiVo by Virgin Media!
I read a review that said it doesn't and neither does the HTC One.
Very pleased I can control TV and TiVo now

Watchon really is a great app , it only took me a few minutes to set up two tv's and two sky boxes and it all works very well .

If you're talking about TiVo, select Virgin Media in the brand.
It works a treat plus its awesome that you can put the remote widget in the lock screen so you don't even need to unlock the phone to change channels

Is the Samsung tivo box a newer box then? Because I have a Virgin media tivo box and it's a Cisco one.

Tbh I'm not sure...
I got mine installed about 2 weeks ago and it was Samsung, that's why I was surprised when the review I read said it didn't work. Bet they chose TiVo rather than Virgin Media.

Does the App have learning capabilities or just the device list from Sammy?
As I know NO learning capabilities...now trying to find out if its only SW problem (stupid sammys apk) or HW is only IR transmitter not receiver...somebody?
I wonder if the camera could be used to capture the IR codes. If it's refresh rate is high enough. Otherwise some low-volume devices would need them hardcoded somehow.

I too have been unable to get my Virgin Media Cisco CT8620 Tivo box to work with WatchOn. I've tried the "Virgin Media", "Cisco" and "Tivo" options that it offers, trying the next code in each when prompted, but with no luck.
I filled out the contact box with details of the model information at the end when prompted, but I've no idea how long I'll have to wait for them to add support for this box.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I have this working on Cisco VM TiVo.
I selected cisco as the box manufacturer on setting it up. Make sure you have the latest watch on installed from play store.

Google Chromecast replacement?

After a short (yet cheap) disappointment with the Google Chromecast, I'm looking to get a nice piece of hardware to place next to my TV in the living room.
Wanted features:
HD Video playing capabilities with wide variety of formats.
Play downloaded files.
Play from distance (inside the house). Video could be either streamed OTA or transferred to a locally attached storage unit through a LAN connection (either wireless or not, the router is gonna be right next to it anyhow... :laugh: )
Affordability is always a pro...
Raspberry Pi with raspbmc or openelec?

The gbox midnight mx2 is an awesome device. Its essentially a rooted android computer that uses your TV as a monitor. You can get info on it from matricom.net
You would need a wireless keyboard/remote device to control it. There is a Logitech one recommended on the amazon page.
You can also use a 32gb micro SD card for additional storage too

Its 25 dollar for raspberri or 100 for the other one. Does it really worth the extra buck?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yes it plays them very well.
I yet have to find a file which doesn't play well.
It's not an out of the box experience, but the price and after all results are worth the hassle.
You can use your android as a remote and there are a lot of plugins (online streaming etc.)
