I have a serious problem with orb/wmp
when I try to stream a video over 3g I recieve an error from orb saying that windows media audio and video are not supported by the Player!
when I use WMP it simply gets stuck and says paused.
I REALLY love Wm6 but I also REALLY love orb.
does anyone have any ideas? more importantly has anyone been able to get this combo working?
when Im off this week I will pull the registry from my wizard and try to compare the entries for WMv and windows media audio but some of those entries are cryptic.
I CAN get orb to work over WiFi
if you have this working over 3g please PM me a copy of your registry if possible.
TCPMP version .71 and .72 rc2 have this problem,.
Also I tried going through the source code for tcpmp, but there is no notation in the source so I gave up on that end plus I dont have the WM6 sdk anyways.
/** I can also confirm that Conduits pocket player simply hangs when attempting to stream 3-3-07

I have been able to get Orb working with both WiFi and 3G and EDGE. I am sorry I do not know how to copy my registry. here is what I have been able to figure out. I have Cingular, so I have switched my connection to isp.cingular from wap.cingular and I have enabled the network on Windows Media Player for WiFI/Lan 1.0 mbps or more, those are the only changes I have made and it is working really well. I have Core Player but have never been able to get it to work with Orb.
thank you cvbesq post # 15
if anyone else can please confirm this, I have an ANR line and do not have access to isp.cingular

I am able to confirm that WMP under XDA Live .20 will play both audio and video through orb. The Proxy must be disabled and a udp port seems to be required under options.TCPMP is still giving the same error as before.
thank you all who contributed. the next thing that needs to be corrected is tcpmp.

a possible fix for Slingplayer is here

please let me know if it works

the above fix seems to work for sling player but not for TCPMP.
I'm baffled by this too, however I can't say that I'm terribly disappointed as I've pretty much given up on trying to watch videos on the Hermes crab a long time ago.
you know I didnt really have a huge problem with TCPmp with 1.34 or 1.06 just a little lag which I corrected by changing a setting in TCPMP, however not being able to watch orb is a big minus which is almost made up by HTML email.
I (and others) are having a very similar problem with Slingplayer. Looks like some of the codecs have changed?
If I have time over the weekend, I was going to try cookng up a ROM with the older WM6 codecs that were in the Wizard's ROM, 'cause they seem to be ok.
Don't know if it'll work though....
Great idea! Let us know how that comes along
Maybe stupid question, but have you added the plugins to play other format files? If you haven't.. get them here: http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
this behavior exists in wm6 vanilla also but not in the wizard, I was able to use it on the wizard, u have to remember that the hermes uses an ati gpu so the wizard drivers may not work but try anyways! I personally think that the api must have changed.
This may be the same problem area as the SlingPlayer om WM6. If I understand correctly someone here has a Wizard with this working, could you be so kind and test out SlingPlayer on that same Wizard and see if it works. I am thinking the codecs may be here but not mapped correctly in the WM6 we have for Hermes since it was a beta after all.
Also incase anyone is looking for TCPMP in only a CAB install (I could only find the exe on google):
I do find it curious that it works with wifi, thats why I went through the networking source code but there is no notation and I am still a new code writer (it was probably above my head any way). I think its written in C++ if anyone wants to go through it the code is available at the link earlier in this thread. or the codecs may simply not be registered, which is why I think we should look at the roms from the wizard.
This is also the same problem in sling player.
I have posted this in many other places but it seems like no one uses orb WTF? how can you have a 3g Wm phone and not use orb!

So you are confirming the WM6 on the Wizard runs slingbox?
it worked with Orb, im afraid im not in the slingbox club lol.
Ok, I managed to find a few minutes to cook up a Hermes ROM with the Wizard's WMP files in it. Didn't work.
Tried to do the same using the WMP files from a Universal WM6 ROM (which I know worked with Orb and SlingPlayer). That didn't work either.
Next, I'll have to compare all the registry settings...I may wait until Kyphur's next release though, 'cause if it's already working with the newer base ROM, then I'll just be wasting my time by fiddling around with this one (and I have precious little spare time at the moment).
My ORB works but I can only get sound to play.. i've yet to see video on my wm6

which Wm6 rom are you using? Vanilla or XDA live? I cannot even get sound to work over 3g.

Watch out, if your not subscribed to PDAConnect plan and you change your apn from wap.cingular to isp.cingular then you will be charged per kb
As for orb, I have it working fine on WMP and XDALive. I think all I did was disable the medianet proxies and change the UDP port on WMP. It does go through Locating, connecting, paused for a brief setting then buffering and voila.
Ty Fone,
I know all about the PDA connect and do have that, but thx, what you did was essentially what I did to get it working.
I have had no problem using orb, as long as the proxy has been disabled.(using either vanilla or wxdl). But I can not get Sling player to work at all. The sling log shows an error with the audio codec....Man, I really miss my sling player....orb is just not the same

I never had the proxie on my connection, what port did u change UDP to?

I just randomly chose port 1024 and disabled the auto speed detect process and set it to wi-fi/Lan.
Also forward the ports on your home router for orb so it will have a better upstream. Head over to portforward.com for help with that.
Hey everyone,
I got a Redfly and it is pretty cool on most applications, even over bluetooth stuff runs good. The problem comes when I try to run Garmin XT or Tom Tom I get errors saying the program will not support the resolution, but Yahoo Maps works great. I guess I was surprised that the individual programs handle video res and not the OS. Anyone know how I can fix it ????
Cool, never heard of it until now.
The applications do detect the resolution so they can use the proper skin... The apps adjust and use the appropriate skin images for portrait and landscape.. also there are the square screen smart phones. On my dell Axim x50v I have trouble with some applications because they do not support VGA. So this is expected.
Did you search the knowledgebase on their site?
I would assume that the redfly would be capable of running in a magnified version of the native res for compatibility.. if not, you will have many applications that will have problems.
I got a chuckle out of this message on their site.
"Please read all the safety information in this guide before using the REDFLY to avoid injury."
There is no video capability. Program compatibility is hit or miss. No drivers for the Diamond yet.
Anyone know where in Garmin Mobile XT the video driver is ?
Maybe if I knew which file controlled that I could make it work ??
Hi All,
My dream, one that I hope Android can help me fulfill is to hook my Galaxy S2 to a HDMI tv, fire up remote desktop and by using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, effectively have a full desktop available.
I am yet to try hooking up my phone to a tv as I am waiting for the MHL cable, but issues I envisage are the following:
1) When the screen is mirrored on the TV, the RDP program will not use the TVs display show 'full screen'. I have installed some RDP applications and they allow you to select the resolution so perhaps this will resolve the issue
2) Are there any RDP applications that allow bluetooth keyboard and mouse entry?
This is the hold grail for me!! Many a time I have stayed in a hotel for work or holiday and not had my laptop with me and wished for such a solution. Combine this with Wake On Lan and it's perfect!
I hope someone can help!
I can't believe i'm the only one that wants something like this to work!
RDP programs should just take any inputs from your phone and pass them onto the remote machine so BT kb/m should work ok IMO. Not sure about the mirroring but if it is fullscreen on the phone then maybe the MHL cable will upscale for the TV.

I'm waiting for the cable before I can try. In fact I would have had it by now but my girlfriend wants to buy some stuff for me for my bday and I believe she's already ordered it!
I should get mine tomorrow and I'll try it out.
Thanks! I'll check back on thread!
I've been doing some reading around and have found that BT keyboards and a mouse will work no problem.
I tried my MHL cable with the Android VNC viewer app and allows you to fit to screen but does not output at the tv's native res.
I have had similar experience with Remote RDP, it just mirrors the phone's native resolution. Hopefully this kind of thing will be supported soon, including internet browsing at 1080p.
Thanks guys, that sux!
I still haven't received my cable so I can't try for myself, but have you managed to make it work to a workable output on the TV?
would be interesting if we could port some parts from the atrix (webtop) over to this phone. I actually enjoyed that feature.

Perhaps, this kind of program may help to format the resolution?
Am I missing something? If you got a bt keyboard and bt mouse and the phone to tv hdmi, don't you have it all? Why would you need a remote desktop or vnc software?
Well, you'd have it all except for USB, which you might be able to live without.

If it could pump out the full Remote Desktop resolution then you will effectively have a full desktop through your phone rather than just have the phone's software capability.
Fair enough you can surf the web and play a video but what if I want to use full excel or Word, and multi-task like on a desktop.
I've still not received my cable so I don't know whether the browsing the net with the phone's browser is legible on a big screen.
In my earlier post I complete missed off the applications name - LCD Density - haven't tried and I don't know if it's compatible with the SGSII, but sounds like it changes the native resolution of the phone.
Try Splashtop as your vnc app it is the only one to my knowledge that can stream audio almost perfect and video pretty good over vnc and works like a charm on the atrix.
Did you find a good BT keyboard that works well with the Evo? I'd prefer one with a built in trackpad, as my goal is to use this on the road (ie, airports, trains, etc), and would like to have an all-in-one keyboard/mouse.
The one thing that I haven't had time to tinker with have been HDMI goggles that can give a virtual display. Has anyone tried these w/ the Evo's mini-HDMI output?
Hi Guys,
I just received my CX803 Android Mini PC, and it seems that i buyed a less popular model. I cant find any information how i can root this device. I just want to get Droidmote to work but i read i need to have the device rooted. Can anybody help me to do this?
Thanks in advanced.

droidmote
I managed to root the device. But running droidmote is still an issue. I got the server up and running, but when using the client it just doent give a response. When starting the server using the huge button it sometimes doesnt run. Just when using the button several times it goes to status started.
Im using server 3.0.7 and client 3.4.4.
I read something about uinput. My device has the sys/modules/uinput folder. But it just has one file called version. So i think i probably miss you right uinput files. Can somebody help me to compile such a file?

you have uinput. you must only use the last version of the server and the last version of the client otherwise not work.
last server version at this date and time is 3.1.3
last version client at this date and time is 3.4.4
the protocol between the server and the client is changed for that reason you need the last versions.
If you buyed the server why not update ? only if you not buyed you can't update
Hi Zulu99,
Yes it works now, i updated to the latest version.
Which "mediacenter" application do you recommend with this device? I installed XBMC but its terrible slow. I also tried a combination of XBMC nightly build with MXplayer. Playing the videos works fine now. But i think the interface of the Nightly build isnt that great. I prefer the interface of the official XBMC.
I also buyed the full version of Archos player. This player plays everything fine, but the problem with Archos is that it keeps scanning my whole HDD for new media, and i just want to select an folder which should be scanned. Any idea how to fix this?
Or do you know a better solution?
Thx
The best solution would be using the android standard video player in combination with XBMC. Till now the only player which displayed Avatar SBS 3d flawless was the standard android player. All other players like, MOBO, BS player, MX player lagged alot.
Does anybody know how to disable the bottom banner of mx player during full screen. I read something about Gesture applications, but this is more for touch devices and this isnt the case for me.
I use XBMC with MX Player.
I love MX Player for another reason. In combination with DreamDroid, i receive the tv streaming from my satellite decoder DreamBox.
I see all tv channels in any room on my Tablet or on Minix Neo G4 attached via hdmi to any tv. and control it with DroidMote.
I like the zoom-in functions for the video in MX Player and is full compatible and controllable with DroidMote.
look this video, especially the last part:

I work with Ubuntu and I'm thinking about buy a DeX and switch off my notebook, what you think about it?
Thanks!

Still nothing... I hoped it would be out along with Note 9,but still silence from Samsung
Dex on Linux. Experience
I have the basic version of note 9.
I bought two different setups for testing:
- HDMI - USBC cable + Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth mouse
- HDMI with USBC port + 2 USB normal ports to connect a wired mouse and keyboard.
I have also at home two 4k tvs that I use as monitors: A 39inch seiki and a 41inch curved Samsung. Both working at 4k with my mac book Pro and my Ubuntu pc
Connecting any of the screens to my note using any of the devices gives me only 1080p. After researching, this is a software limitación. Somebody checked that note 9 can actually output 4k.
When you open dex, you get a desktop experience and you can execute you android apps. Not every app scales to full screen and some of them are shown as if you were runing them with an emulator.
Now dex on Linux. I got the invite and I installed the app. When you launch it in your phone, it asks you download an image (imagine docker) that's is a 4Gb zip that becomes a 10Gb unzipped .img file.
Application asks you to give the container a name and select the . img file.
That is what you can do from your phone. You cannot execute the container unless you are in dex mode: dex opened in a monitor
On dex, you have to run the Linux on dex app and run any container run created before.
When you run one in about 5-10 seconds you have Ubuntu 16 running.
Default applications you get aside of the standard ones is visual studio code and intellij 2018.2 community.
I am a java guy so I launched intellij to check the speed and I was surprised how fast it launched.
I need to play more, but I would buy a higher spec note if the 4k issue was solved.
In my opinion Dex/Linux is an strategy to justify expensive phones with more hardware, because nobody needs more ram and cores if you just run phone apps. Said that I am a software professional and this use case fits perfectly with my needs
I tried to install on my s9+ but would not let me. I hope they make available for S9+. I run Linux Deploy now in chroot - but not the same. I have Dex Station which I think would be nice with Ubuntu.
Iphone 9 linex
Linex on note 9 seem good but it would be better if i could download software or even update .It won't let me do anything.Its says no plugin could handle gs_plugin_app_install.Im at a lose.
