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.

same webcam issue dark image or no image
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:

I just connected a cheap usb webcam I had laying around. According to dmesg it is properly recognised and there is a /dev/video0 device that appears when it is connected. My only problem is I have no idea how to interface with it. Does anyone know of an app or maybe even a command-line way to interface with a specific video stream?
I have done some research and several people started the process of building ffmpeg for Android, but for one reason or another they seem to have abandoned their efforts.
would be so awesome to use my 720p webcam w/ this...is this possible? seems as simple as modding a config file to look @ that as a source.
You need the specific device drivers in the kernel, till those are available, and apps know how to access the device the second camera will not function. Honeycomb is supposed to have 2 camera functionality built into the OS so hopefully that will work out of the box.
I dont have much technical knowledge as well as I am new here also but would like to learn new things.
How can i remotely access my phone via pc/laptop and pc/laptop via phone. What sort of things can i do if so.
For example can i see my laptop camera live on my mobile or mobile camera live on laptop
Is that possible to access remotely windows mobile via android mobile and android mobile via windows mobile (full control like call, sms, data transfer)
I have simple hdtv means without WiFi
How can I connect my sensation with it
It is possible to connect wirelessly with help of any instruments
What sort of things can i do after connecting my mobile with tv like can i see my mobile camera live on my tv
Could somebody please help me
If possible give step by step guide
I would also like to know what sort of accessories do I need specifically
I am sorry if my language is not good

Hi,
I am using the team viewer app to access my pc from the phone. It's very good. I get the whole desktop on my phone screen and I can control it completely.
For accessing phone via web I.am using the remote web desktop. I can use many features as sms mail from the pc.
If you have further questions do ask . Hope this helps

Could u pls help me
Thanks again

if you dont have wifi adapter in your tv, do you have LAN ? as in wired option. the model of your tv would have helped.
i have my tv connected to the same router as my pc which is also wifi and thus through dlna i am able to view pictures and music from my phone directly onto the tv. sadly the 3gp format of the video recorded by the sensation doesnt allow me to view the videos made from the camera on it. but other videos on the phone can be viewed on tv.
another nice feature is that videos which ppl post on your facebook wall can be streamed to the tv directly from the phone using an app called twonky server.
if you dont have both wifi or wired connection on the tv then do you have an hdmi cable input in your tv? if so you can buy an adapter which will connect to the usb port of the phone and to the hdmi port of the tv.
hope this helps.
hi
thanks for your response
My tv has LAN and hdmi connection so it means I am able to do wired network but I don't know how to do it. I don't have much technical knowledge but I am able to do that. I only need some hints at key areas.
I want to know both ways to connect. I have wireless internet modem/router with 4 wired port connection at my home. I have laptop, windows mobile 6.1 and latest sensation also. all of them is wifi enabled.
I heard somewhere that regular micro usb to hdmi cable will not support to the sensation. So what sort of hdmi cable or connector do I use?
Furthermore I tried both TeamViewer as well as Remote Web Desktop.
Both works very good between my Sensation and my HP Laptop.
I know it's inappropriate to ask here but if u know about app like TeamViewer and Remote Web Desktop for the windows mobile pls let me know.
Thanks again

To connect the Sensation to the television get an MHL adapter (this is how it looks in practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-o_VCYd9NA )

Hello,
I want to download the Recacon camera remote software for my Sony camera QX10 in the google market. But it is not possible to do this from Germany, only from US and Japan.
Does anyone knows, where I can download the software as an *.apk-File?
I don´t find anything about this in google
Thanks
Berthold
You can download it from http://market.1mobile.com/ but strangely you can buy the license througth Google play when installed on phone.
Seems a little bettre than the Sony software.
As the Sony can connect through NFC, this app can't, you should first have a direct wifi connection with the QX 10.
There's also a desktop version who work from Windows OS and MAC.
A simpla app in Windows, but you cant shoot from your computer with the QX10 somewhere in the house.
Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck
Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.
I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?

I managed to get it working with our Phillips, but the phone reports the TV isn't optimized for the best performance.
It took several tries getting it to connect.
Try smartview and see if it'll mirror that way.
hello, thanks for information. no problem with smartview. but the tv was not found when using Dex.

Sony 900e here, miracast was software removed from my model, if i had to wager a guess, sony did it to yours as well.

think i may be having the same model but one generation later. i do a search, Sony is saying the screen mirroring feature from the input source menu was using miracast.
oh manage to get it to work. need to go to the screen mirroring source input (stay on the page) on the Sony TV before turning on Dex. it will then find the connection and then you choose to connect.
