which DVR app works fine? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I run malaysk rom 4.4.4 and have a USB dvr camera installed.
I cannot find a app which works fine and what i want.
It should do the following:
- start on bootup radio
- option to go to automaticly to background and start recording automaticly
- option to choose storage location
Tried a lot of apps only one does this but the app constanlty crashes when i open the settings menu (autoboy BlackBox).
When i run the app on my table (lolipop) it works fine, but on my rk3388 mtcb radio (with latest malaysk rom) it crashes when opening setting menu to configure it.
Anyone have an idea which app can do this

I too would like recommendations for my MX (Witson) unit as currently the stock DVR records to the internal 16gb despite having a 4gb in GPS slot and 32gb in 2nd slot. The app has no option to select storage. Very annoying as finishes all the space up and slows unit down.
Thanks

I run Dailyroads Voyager.

You may have to use the PCV Startup Builder to put an entry in to start it up automatically on boot.

I have it starting automatically, in the background, set storage to the GPS card, and it works fine with every USB cam I have ever tried it with.

I use AutoBoy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happyconz.blackbox&hl=en its the only on I've found that lets you flip the camera 180 for when you have it mounted on the windscreen. It starts on boot, monitors the front camera and location via GPS, it also has youtube upload.

Aaaahhh tried on phone like i do before trying on head unit like i always do and can't save to either SD card on the MTCD! Gives me option on phone Galaxy S7. Frustrated as seemed like the best one

Which camera do you use exactly? I hope I will soon receive the new MTCD unit for Peugeot 508 (WITSON) and I am also thinking of purchasing the DVR camera but can't decide what type shall I buy. There is not much information about the available cameras on internet, not many videos on youtube etc., almost no posts here on the forum.
Does someone have the Joying HD SONY IMX322... camera? They say in the description it will only work with JOYING head unit. Is it true? Does it require any special app that is available only in their ROM? According to the pictures it has SD card slot so I think it stores the files on this card, not in the head unit??? So it should start recording after connecting to any USB charger like any other camera?
Or is any other USB or so called webcam better? There are plenty of them like Genius and so on...
Thanks for comments.

Could you help me to identify my software, please?
Hello, everybody,
I bought my Peugeot 508 SW with installed DVR and I can't find out, what software is installed, there? I would like to update maps into my iGO at least. But I can't find any input for SD card. Probably, it is hidden somewhere into its body... But, I am not sure, because of I can't identify it, so far.
Could you help me to identify my software, please?
It is HMI: MX010.1.1, MCU Version "MX801.151211(54)", "MMP.2015.9.16.14.2", whatever does it mean?
Thank you very much.

BT audio on GPS

Hey all,
Hope this is the right place to post this in.
I recently purchased a GPS unit off ebay, link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250496429770&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Now, it came pre-loaded with Windows CE.
What I want to do is stream audio through my nokia phone via bluetooth to the GPS unit. My brother has a very similar GPS unit, albeit it's a head deck not a portable unit, and on his you just gotta connect the bluetooth and press play on the phone and it works.
Now on mine, it does everything except play. Connect the phone to the GPS bluetooth, press play on the phone, no audio anywhere. The phone is sending audio to the GPS unit, as no music is coming from the phone, however at the same time, nothing is coming from the GPS unit. Calls work fine, however.
Anyways, I have tried finding bluetooth applications and stuff, but I cant figure out how to install them to the GPS. I have access to the SD card as well as the filesystem on the GPS via activesync. So I can see Windows/Program Files/My documents etc (nothing in any folder except Windows, FYI).
The problem I face is, I get the .cab file I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1671327&postcount=4
But I just cant install it. I cant install it as the GPS doesn't seem to have anywhere I can select a file path and press "install". It only has a GPS navgator browse thing, which only looks for .exe's.
I mean, I should be able to install stuff shouldn't I? It's running Windows and there is a Tools folder with a calculator and currency converter, as well as a games folder with games and flash folder with flash content. Surely there is a way of installing an app?
Thx in adv for the replies

[Q] How do i enable bluetooth setting in the maind menu

Alright here is my dilemma: I have a android head unit for my car An6b01 (Adayo, FORYOU, K1) it runs on froyo 2.2 it has a 6.1 inch screen, 1 sd micro slot & and 1 regular sd, 3 usb ports wi-fi and bluetooth 1ghz arm8 processor etc. I'm able to go on the market place web and all that good stuff my problem is that although the unit runs on android 2.2 it has its own native apps which seem to control some of the hardware on the unit. For example it has a bluetooth app thats designated for pairing with your phone which lets you play music off of it receive calls and go through your phone book, This app also enables if the bluetooth is on or not. Now if you go to android settings the bluetooth option is not there and i'm unable to pair with different device such a ODB2 module. I was wondering if there is a way that i could add the bluetooth option back into my setting in order for me to pair with other devices. I have tried some of the apps of the market place like "Bluetooth Enabler" and "Bluetooth Manager" but when i try turning on the bluetooth through there it just says "Turning on Bluetooth" and nothing happens. My unit is rooted and i'm familiar with editing the system files and flashing roms. Could any one give me some tips on how i can enable the Bluetooth setting in my android setting? I also have all the system files if anyone is willing to look at it. thanks:
i just relized that i might of put this in a wrong area... feel free to move it sorry

How to use Joying DVR camera on Intel Joying HU?

I purchased and installed an Joying DVR camera and connected to my 5.1.1 Intel Joying HU. I get video in the DVR app but I cannot seem to understand how to make it record. It did not come with any instructions. How do I use this device?

Does anyone know?
I am having a difficult time trying to get this to work. I have inserted a 32 GB SD Card and I have three lights on the camera, One is solid green, the next is flashing red, and its always flashing, and the last is yellow... Another weird thing that is happening is, when I access the DVR App, I will get video, but if I select any of the buttons (the one that looks like a Camera) ... they all do nothing except the one on the far right that tells me it can't detect the SD card. Then if I leave the DVR app and come back, I no longer have video...
No other camera app seems to beable to detect the camera... any ideas?

What is the best DVR app?

I'm looking for an app that can auto record. And also do much more than the default DVR.
DVR
You have answered yourself (and me) in Malaysk PX5 thread
For anyone that used search to get here:
Most 3rd party DVR apps just do not work (are for mobiles and tablets, not for car Units), I have tried many with different results.
The stock app is very basic but it can autorecord every X minutes, just leave it to record and it will stop/start when you stop/start your car. If the Unit reboots, just press record in the DVR app again (or use a tasker).
The stock DVR needs some rework to add these options (see here):

- delete files size based (SD card size specify x Gb)
- delete files time based (older than x days)
- mark important files "never delete" (like accident recordings)

UPD: 19-09-2017
I found out recently that the stock DVR app automatically deletes the oldest recordings on the selected memory card when there is less than 150MB free space left on the card.
A bit crude but it seems to work.
I use the 2nd SD slot on my Unit for the CarRecorder. So it has 32Gb for itself.
It took a while to get near full and for me to see that it actually does delete files
Only thing that is still missing (IMO) in this app is the option to mark files 'Important' and never delete, but if you move out those files to another folder (outside /CarRecorder/) then the app does not touch them.
Additional note: the stock DVR app only seems to supports the DVR USB camera devices that can be ordered together with the units. In other words: does likely not support regular PC USB camera's.
what hardware DVR are you using?
are you using USB DVR?
what is the name of the STOCK DVR app are you referring?
thank you
Maybe you can try this one.

Would you be good enough to tell me the exact tasker command required to start the recording that you mention please?
Can someone reupload the built in apk of the application DVR Assistant?
My car's dash cam didn't come with the app built in.

It is built in, you need to enable it in Factory Settings:
Settings > Car > Factory Settings > Password '126'
The first page lists built in apps that can be enabled for your hardware. I think the option is called DVR and you can select USB from the drop-down list.
Hi everyone. I have a slightly different unit to yours in that it doesn't have the DVR option in the factory settings. I bought a small camera which plugs into the Aux video in in the back of the unit (not the reverse cam signal, but same plug). the cam and HU work together when I open the AUX app which came pre-loaded in the HU. However I can't seem to find any way to make it record. All other android apps won't work as they don't look for a cam signal coming from the Aux port.
Does anyone know any apps that would use the AUX signal?
I don’t think there is any app that can do that. As a compromise, you can use one that captures your screen, so you preview the camera and record your screen. Hope it helps!

PX5 MTCE_LM dashcam/dvr recording woes

I have an (Auto)Pumpkin PX5 unit running MTCE_LM_V2.81_1 firmware (Oreo) and I can't get the damn thing to record video with any dashcam apps other than the stock "DVR" app that came pre-installed. They all preview just fine but as soon as I hit record the unit freezes then reboots.
This unit is replacing an older similar unit (RK3188) which I used for a couple of years with a camera I have installed in my car - I know the camera works and I know the SD Cards work as I used them with the old unit.
I've tried saving to numerous locations with all the various programs hoping that maybe one of my SD cards had gone bad, I've tried the 3 different USB ports available on the unit, different camera orientations, volume on/off, GPS tracking on/off, I've tried literally everything I can think of - including searching threads the internet for a few hours now.
Anyone else having similar issues? Or better yet, can anyone else confirm they have this working somewhere?
It won't work, I tried every app I could find and the only one that works is the built in one.
Yes. That's why I choosed to buy a stand alone dashcam instead of a simple usb cam. It's a lilttle more expensive (not too much, in my case), but it offers more functionality, like the crucial g-sensor for automatic fixing of recordings in case of a crash, not possible with our head units that lacks a gyroscope... Stand alone dash cam also doesn't slow down the head unit with background recording activity and if you (like I did) buy a wifi model, you can also manage it from the head unit anyway, simply installing the specific manufacturer's app on it! Last thing, I powered my dash cam directly from one of the USB ports on the back of my head unit, so it's swiched on and off automatically by the car and the installation is super clean without any wire in sight. I'm using a YI Mini Dash Cam, by the way.
Just a heads-up that I tried installing Hal9k's ROM 3 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nt/rom-hal9k-rom-3-mtcd-e-head-units-t3847477) in order to try to resolve the recording issue and, while I do enjoy a few features the custome ROM has brought along with it, it did not resolve the issue. I am guessing that it is a firmware issue of some nature and we're just going to have to wait and see what else might come-about to fix it.
see if this helps
