[Q] [APP Asking]USB TV TUNER support on android

Hi every wonderfull android devs !!
I'm a proud owner of the wonderfull (again) TF101, but i guess something usefull is missing in android mobility solution : i named : USB/PCI driver and player for TNT DVB-T TV Tuners under android
As now tablets and even phone have USB plugs and enough power to make it, maybe they can support those little USB TV tuner dongles.
As reference under windows i'm using pouchin TV which is a lite and fluid player for TNT TV (DVB-T - H264 codecs etc ...) but i know there are many more like this one and maybe some which could be better... BUT my guess is for android !! i fall in love with it, its not perfect but it tend to be a light and easy to use (and in same time powerfull and completly controlable and customizable).
(But if i can make a parenthesis i would say that android fully interface with windows and that's great but only few apps can fill the connectivity gap between androtablets and androphones (like pdanet for instance). So please think about functionnality between 2 android device in your apps devs
parenthesis closed . )
So what about my suggestion about a new kind of app for android : i mean TNT TV support (for mobility reasons) through mini antennas or wall antenna plugs?..
First : is it possible? (i guess most linux distro already did it)
second : will it be done one day? does some brave guys/grils with gold software coding hands would be brave enough to make it !?
Please respond to my hope!!!
Thank a lot for all the work already done and for the one that will be ! (in any topics )

USB TV tuner support on the gen8 Archos devices.

I am looking for this too.

Hi
First thanks for replies.
So if i have well read, froyo include the good drivers for usb tuners, but the transformer is under honeycomb (but that shouldn't be a trouble, as i guess that drivers would be included to it also) and the main trouble would be to adapt this app to the transformer (hardware point of view), it's just à guess as I'm just a Mc guyver with c code... And at least working on a rooted stock Rom..
Am i right?

Is thid project "death"?
I have a DVB-T-Stick with RTL2832U Chip (and 820T).
In the Play store, there is also a driver for this "RTL2832U" based DVB-T sticks Intended for a SDR App.
I can receive flight transponder data live from airplanes with a app, but there is no universal DVB-T tv app ?
Only "DVB-T for Android" etc., for ELECOM Micro-USB etc. DVB-T-Tuners.

to the H.264 format, or codec under the MX Player. Although the video then you can open but not decent watch. That is, it does not really work!

With "do not look decent," you probably mean the falter of a film.But that is too slow on the wireless transmission. If you are an H.264 video format, for example, an external hard drive or from the micro SD card look it should work without problems

Cool thing ... can you really time to test whether there is root access? Thinking straight at sixaxis for ps3 controller to pair and configure ... then the problem would be solved with games. Or it works with the house also own app?

So the home of CR9S has no root privileges, but it is feasible.We're just struggling with the matching SU rights.As soon as we have that there is a reliable guide in our forum.But we also say again here know.The android tv team

[Q] USB 3.0 Display

I'm thinking of possibly replacing my desktop computer with the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 in the future. So while at home I would want to connect it to my monitor and peripheral setup. The Plugable UD-3000 will have everything I will need including a USB 3 to DVI adapter. I'm not a big gamer but I still do want to play some mid-range games. I read in review that the USB display performs fine in normal use and video watching but not recommend for playing games. I could not find much information on this subject so I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some light on how this would compare to a dedicated video output port.

How To Guide (HOW 2) HOW TO HAVE DESKTOP MODE on your beloved Xiaomi Phone 100% WORKING Without any Límits.

Okay, theres this guide that Will help you to achieve even more functionality than those Samsung made products.
You Will need DISPLAYLINK adaptor. I recommend to search 2nd hand market to get that.
Required: USB C to USB B with power source on cable, to charge at the same time.
- Download Display link app and Dual Screen app.
Give permissions to the second app and install whatever Desktop Mode app you want to have Desktop Experience, et Voi-la.
With dual screen app you can choose resolution between 640p to 4K AND you can have a lot of more customization than with desk.
Put this phone a cooler and you Will have a cheapo gaming compact machine! (From nes to Switch emú without LAG.)

well I could use on my Mi Note 10 when we had a telly at work, not anymore though, we had PS4 and PS3, but couldnt play Mario Kart, while I had Dolphin on my phone but no USB C to HDMI output, so there are cases and people whod use it

I'm very interested! Also I would love to get some links on which hardware to use and which apps exactly to install

Question Newb (to Pixels) question: Is there any way to support multiple external monitors?

I really want to buy a rootable android and Pixels seem to be the way to go. However, I'm reading conflicting info about whether or not I'll be able to use 1-2 external monitors with the Pixel 7 Pro. I hoped this wouldn't be necessary.
I'd really like to replace my laptop with a phone that's capable to using 1-2x external monitors (4k resolution not necessary but would be amazing as well - 1080p would be plenty).
From what I see, using a displayport dock via USB-C can enable at least 1 HDMI output:
Project your Pixel phone's screen - Pixel Phone Help
If you have a Chromecast or other device that casts, you can mirror your Pixel phone's screen and audio on
support.google.com
>Tip: Pixel 3 and later Pixel phones work with the MediaGear USB-C Hub Docking Station (item 853265008171). Other docking stations can also work.
Can someone please confirm this is possible and let me know which dock they're using? Also, is there any chance I could use 2 HDMI outputs through the same dock? Or perhaps one USBC-Displayport-HDMI connection + 1 Chromecast connection to enable 2x monitors?
I'd love to be able to code using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and skip having the carry my laptop around entirely. I have a 1440p portable/external monitor that works wonderfully for both my laptop and my LG V50 ThinQ.
2x monitors would be my dream; the portable external monitor I have is amazingly light and works great (and supports display over USBC and MicroHDMI - plus power over another USBC port). So I'm sure I'd need to plug in in order to operate these for any extended periods but anyway:
Does anyone have experience with this they can share?
Thanks for any/all help. I'm a dev myself so if the solution to this is a custom rom, I'd be happy to contribute to the solution if anyone's working on one.

I will say: My LG V50 ThinQ USBC to USBC video works really well on my portable monitor... So it may be possible to patch that feature into a pixel kernel.
I will definitely look into it once I have the time, if no one else has any hints/progress on the subject.

I will say "technically"... yes. Practically however, nobody has actually bothered.
Should be just a matter of making sure the kernel is built with support for GUD and setting up a monitor with a GUD interface (such as an rPi with the GUD sdcard).

Pixels do not support native, hardware-accelerated video-out.
Any old dock won't work. Only DisplayLink ones and expect performance to be poor.

Not to mention, streaming like Netflix and Hulu won't show. I tried several DisplayLink adapters which claimed HDCP compliance (including this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072FHTZ8V
with the DL6950 chip:
https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/integrated-chipsets/dl-6000 )
But I could never get any streaming services to work (just black screen once playing started). The rest was acceptable quality (although I wouldn't expect to be able to play games without significant lag and screen tearing). If you find a set up that also works with streaming, please let me know. I'd be very interested in adopting something similar.
***Edit: from DisplayLink's site:
"As the DisplayLink is an app from the Play Store, Android prevents any protected content from video streaming services eg Netflix, Amazon etc, being available to the DisplayLink app. This is an Android restriction to make sure that protected content remains protected and is not available to other applications."

Maybe there is a root workaround, I don't know.

Didn't even know that. Wow.
I still don't forgive Google for removing Miracast.
I really do like Google Cast but that was really anti-consumer.
