What's up all.
So here's my thought... Is there a device out there to plug into a TV's HDMI port that will let me send video files wirelessly to it from my phone/computer so that I can watch the videos on the big screen instead of my phone/computer screen?
A few ideas:
- Is there a HDMI-to-bluetooth adapter/dongle that I could plug into the TV and send the videos bluetooth-ly to?
- Is there a HDMI-"SmartTV-creating" adapter (I've seen things like "Android mini pc"s on the 'net) that I could use to transform my TV into a SmartTV or an android "tablet/computer-like-device" and then send the video files from one device to the other? i.e. - devices like this one... http://www.amazon.com/UG007B-Quad-C...d=1389321213&sr=8-13&keywords=android+mini+pc with a wireless keyboard as well of course, and using either bluetooth or a wifi signal to send from my phone/computer to either stream, or transfer the file then watch.
- From what I know the Chromecast device at this time cannot do this, and only works for specific apps like HBO GO, Netflix, Hulu, etc., not for sending straight video files stored on a phone/tablet, but are there other such devices out there that do what I am looking to do?
Thanks all in advance for the help!
Apart from all the other proprietary sets on the market, the wi-fi (802.11/...) USB dongle appear to be an easy way to connect your mobile/laptop/TV to the TV set. The disadvantage is the short range of about 10 feet, unless you use a wi-fi access point to extend the distance range.
On the TV side, attach a HDMI dongle
On a PC, attach wi-fi USB dongle. I think you will need a streaming software.
On a tablet, attach a OTG (On-The-Go) mini-USB-to-USB adapter and then the wi-fi USB dongle. Again, I would think you need a streaming software.
On a mobile phone, it will be more of a challenge. You could do wired-wireless combo:
Phone-to-computer using screen capture application (wi-fi, USB or Bluetooth), then Computer-to-TV via the wi-fi USB option above.

Thanks for the ideas, and I agree that link was an interesting read.
After thinking, I think the way I'll go about this is using Google Drive and an Android mini pc TV adapter. I can drop the video files (or whatever) into the drive on my computer or phone, then sync my TV Android to get the files to play.
Hry guys. New to Nvidia Shield. Was womdering if you can use the USB charging \ data cable and plug it into the usb port on the tv. Would this work? And do you need a special app to use it ?
I imagine that unless you are talking about reading some video files on your storage and playing those on the TV, no, it wouldn't work like that.
However, the Shield Portable does have a mini-HDMI port along with its micro-USB port. So you could just plug it into an HDMI port and you would have an instant mirror of your screen. In fact this is how you start up the "Console Mode" where you hook it to your TV and a charger, and you attach a Shield Wifi-Direct controller or a BT controller (or a wired USB controller I guess via a split charge/USB-OTG cable), and you have a nice way to stream your games from GRID, your comp, or native from the Shield to your big-screen TV.
TL;DR - No, wouldn't work. Don't need it though, you have an HDMI out on it.
Hey everyone.
I need some help with an HDMI- DVI problem on my MK808B Plus
Goal:
Connect my Android Mini-TV (MK808B Plus) to a specific PC monitor.
Problem:
Monitor has a resolution of 1440x900 and no HDMI.
Story:
I have an old monitor as described above that i want to use for a small project. This project involves an android device. I chose to go with the MK808B Plus. Knowing the connections available on the monitor, i also bought a Mini HDMI to DVI-D adapter cable. I hooked it all up and the monitor detected the input but wouldn't display an image. Just random lines sometimes and then black like it was attempting to connect.
I then hooked it up to another monitor via HDMI and it worked just fine. I then plugged it into the same monitor's DVI port using the adapter and the monitor seemed to see it, and try to display it, but to no avail.
I would like any and all help i can get with this problem. If need be i can even swap the android stick for another model as i have just purchased it.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
My car manufacturer only installed an application called carbitlink in the middle console, which can be used to mirror your phone to the car screen.
I wanted to use the raspberry pi or any other sbc (single board computer) inside the car to act as a phone that the middle console can mirror it by the app carbitlink.
I could access the console system (it uses some custom modified version of android) but this will void car warranty.
So the only solution is either mirror the phone or uses something to act as a phone (in this case raspberry pi, odroid c4... Etc).
The problem is that I installed different versions of android on a raspberry pi but the car console doesn't detect it at all when connected to it.
The car console uses USB A to connect to a phone to be mirrored. I have different phones that works normally when connecting to car console the carbitlink app works fine (installed on the phone, and on car by the manufacturer).
What do you think is the problem? That the Pi 4 doesn't have OTG? (I know the otg are built in the power usb c port, but is it an otg case?)
Also if I purchased odroid c4 for example tgat has a separate micro USB with otg feature, will it work? (since it have an otg micro usb as I read)
My car is having a middle screen with built-in some custom made android system that has some apps for the car to work and they added an application called carbitlink which is used basically for mirroring a phone (Android or iPhone) to the car screen.
I wanted to use raspberry pi 4 to act as a phone and be mirrored to the car by installing the application carbitlink on raspberry pi 4 (usually the application needs to be installed on the phone for mirroring to the car).
I installed two of Android builds (13 and lineage 12), but the car screen system does not detect raspberry pi 4 as it is not there at all.
Car detect any phone with application carbitlink installed just by connecting the USB from the car to the phone but not to raspberry pi.
I read a lot about OTG and I am not sure if this is the case?
USB C on the pi should work as otg right?
Car having USB A
I connected the car USB A to raspberry pi 4 USB C
It gives enough power to the pi to startup and run but carbitlink is not detected by the car...
Any ideas?
Will odroid c4 with otg works?
**update:
I successfully mirrored the odroid but I tried only lineage os on that odroid and it have some bugs...
However the touch not working effectively still
Needs some modifications but I am sure all of it will be software issues...
Any nice ideas is appreciated
I know how to drive a DisplayLink monitor from an android device, but I was wondering if there was a way to set up a burner tablet to be a USB monitor. So you would connect it to a PC and the PC would say something like "Oh look. A Zenscreen"

and the tablet would then behave as a second monitor?
