I'm looking at using otg to connect a webcam so that I can use that webcam during video calls using WhatsApp etc. Effectively I am looking to create my setup a bit like the Facebook portal tv - stream the phone screen to my TV, either by casting or by hdmi and having a webcam on top of my TV connected via the otg.
My question is does android natively support this? Will I be able to select the camera in WhatsApp or settings to use it in those apps?
The logitech c270 says that is compatible with android 5 or higher...?

I want to hook the transformer up to my PC to watch catch-up TV. Is there any way to control it via PC or iPhone?
Cheers
Just a thought: since you could control it via a bluetooth mouse/trackpad, you may be able to find an app for the iphone that allows it to mimic a bluetooth mouse (I'm sure I've seen these for android phones, no idea about iphones though). Then connect your iphone to the TF as a bluetooth mouse.

Is there a DLNA app for iPhone? If there is you can use skifta or iMediashare on the tablet and using your phone select content on the tablet and playback on the TV assuming you have a DLNA TV or converter. Or you could playback via the HDMI out cable too.
I use Gmote on my phone to control my laptop. I've been hoping that somebody would create something like it for controlling Android devices or modifying it to work on Android devices.
does it possible?
i saw this thread:

is it possible to make it work on the tf101?
There is already one thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261074
Theoretically it is possible, we jusd need the drivers and kernel modules
As davebugyi already mentioned, I guess this depends on availability of drivers and kernel modules.
At home, I have my tablet connected through wifi to my Windows 7 mediacenter PC running Media Portal TV-server software with an USB Anysee digital-TV tuner with DVB-T card (Dutch Digitenne, Standard resolution), also capable of DVB-C. Through the aMPdroid app I'm able to stream Live-TV, switch channels, watch EPG, record and watch recorded broadcasts on my ASUS, stream other audio/video content, some remote-control functionality to control Media Portal software on my PC, et cetera. You need BS Player Lite with the ARM7 plugin (and aMPdroid) on your tablet to be able to watch these streams. The video quality is quite good, but aMPdroid needs some development. The best thing is, I can watch a certain channel on my TV-setup and simultaneously record or watch another channel on my tablet using a single TV tuner!
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?

Hi,
I am developing an app exclusively for Android TV boxes. This app caters to display DTH channels in Android app using the following mechanisms:
1. If DTH box renders channels through HDMI, this HDMI is provided as input to Android TV box. My app should read this continuous stream and display in surface view or similar.
2. If TV channels are rendered through AV, this AV is read by TV tuner card which in turn outputs a USB stream. My app must read this continuous USB stream and display it in any of the views.
And help pointing in this direction would be greatly appreciated, for it has been months that I have been searching for a solution to this.
Regards,
Jaydev
Hello, I have a samsung smart tv and dedicated camera for that: SAMSUNG CY-STC1100. The skype application used to run on the TV, but it has lost support.
I plan to buy the H96 Pro tv dongle (android) and my question is if the camera connected to it will handle that?
After smart tv stopped supporting skype I found older version of skype(for various TV series) with drivers(inter alia to camera) which was installed from a pendrive and this worked wonderfully, but now it doesn't work. If you don't know the solution, could you recommend a camera that works on the android box?
