Hi all,
I am interested in running linux on my Himalaya. At the moment I have a media server running using Mythtv (knoppmyth) and debian on my xbox (myth frontend), and I would love to play with the posiblity of using my PDA as a remote for the system, plus a portable media center.
However I am still relativly new to linux, so could some one point me towards a how-to, for serial/usb terminal connecting, as mentiond on the HimalayaLinuxBooting section of the wiki. I will be doing this on my main machine that is running Suse 10
Thanks everyone
Worked it out my self, thanks anyway
The betatest is closed. Thank you!
Hi,
I'm the developer of Media Center Control. With this remote control for your Windows Mobile device you can control your Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center. It's designed for Windows 7, but it works for Windows Vista Media Player also. On Windows Vista there is no Media Center support. To use it with your Media Center, Windows 7 is a must have.
Media Center Control isn't only a normal remote control. It's more a port of the Media Center UI to your smartphone. You are able to browse the media content on your phone and then start playback/recording on your PC. It's possible to control music, movies, photos and tv broadcast on your phone. Media Center Control establishes a connection to your PC via Bluetooth - which is very power saving - or via TCP/IP (Wifi for example). It's also possible to browse your EPG over the internet and then schedule records. Watch the screenshot to get a quick overview of what it is.
Now I'm searching beta tester for the closed beta test. What you will need to help me testing:
- Windows 7 (Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center)
- Windows 7 Media Center for TV/EPG features
- Windows Mobile 6.x device with bluetooth and/or WiFi
- It's highly recommed to use bluetooth because it's much more power saving than WiFi. You will need a bluetooth enabled PC and WM device to use this connection type.
If you are interested to help testing and your device configuration met the requierments, please post a comment here or leave a private message. I then will give you more instructions for registering as a beta tester.
Thanks in advance!
Hey n1 2 see someone takes care of this prob!
Many iPhone apps on market but no useful and touchfriendly win prog.
I see in HD2/Leo area many threads about this question. I think many members will be happy. I make some links
MaTT
sounds nice. I am a heavy user of WM7 media center
*push*
Betatester around the world wanted!
I'd like to try this app.
I'm a Media Center User since 2004 version (now on windows 7) and own an Hd2.
Bye
I've got a window 7 media center machine with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard (and a bluetooth dongle which I can pair with my phone)
And a touch pro 2 running energyrom so I'd be glad to test this.
Hi,
I am also interested, I am running a windows 7 Media Center (accessible through WiFi) and a Windows 7 standard-installation accessible through bluetooth (MC might be upgraded with bluetooth, but dongle is currently making some problems). My mobile has both bluetooth and Wifi
Sincerely
Eyeless
Hey,
I am also interested in beta testing. My "server" is running Windows Media Center 7 (64bit) and is streaming live-TV to an xbox and Linksys Extender. It would be great to easliy access all the media with my phone and the most appreciate function would the EPG one. Really looking into that.
I have a HTC HD2 running CleanEX HyperROM Ultimate v11.5.
I hope you will let me test the app for you ^^.
Me 2 whant to help you, us
Hi,
i want also help to testing the program too. I use Windows 7 Professional 64 with Media Center. My Cellular is a HD2.
Greetz MonsyX
Happy to help, have Vista media centre, windows 7 laptop and 2 xbox 360 all liken to stream from my vista base machine.
tester
i would like to give you my help by testing this app.
i have different pc's with windows 7 32bit and own a hd2.
good luck anyway! hope the gui is smooth!
Any news about this app?
Any release date 4 all?
Sounds really cool. I'm a long time Media Center user since the early days of XP MCE. Currently running Win 7 Media Center X64 on a dedicated HTPC in my living room. If you still need beta testers (I own a HD2) you can count me in.
I, if you need i'm here to help
Hd2 owner with w7 media center (3 Computer with w7) and also HTC Diamond and Vista if needed.
do you plan epg integration?
I'm willing to help beta test. WM7x64 with a TP2 running my own rom. I have a bluetooth dongle somewhere around here, but Wifi would be my preffered choice (meaning I can test both).
Edit: I love the way the UI looks.
Thank you very much, but in the moment no more tester are requiered.
I have 3 W7 media centers in my house would LOVE to help test this ..
Would want to try too.
Multiple W7 Ultimate machines and my Sony X1
Hi,
how is the development going ?
I would really apprechiate to test this app, sadly I missed your post in Time.
(I have Win 7 Home Premium/Ultimate as well as various wm-devices).
Do you already have any idea when the app will be released to public ?
Greetings
I'm making an app which can display any consoles with usb ports on the android device (when this one is plugged in). If you have an idea for API 10 (GingerBread)at least. it'll be helpful .
It'll be more cool if you have an idea for API 8 (Froyo). How To Stream a console display to the app? I'm on eclipse java.
THANXSS!!!!!
I must admit that i'm quite inexperienced with java and programming in general.. but i think that you have to deal with drivers that actually shouldn't exist. You have to build a new kernel for this specific app I think
Edit: i think that you can't do it because consoles don't have drivers.. and their operating system is closed source so you can't do anything so weird
Sent by my Optimus 2x using Tapatalk
ok thanks for answer
but have you an idea just for record the console video?
Maybe you can deal with the HDMI port if your phone have it but you have already to build your own driver. I'm so sorry about that but I'm not a dev and sincerely I haven't idea how the code could be
Sent by my Optimus 2x using Tapatalk
You could (re-)write a driver for a USB Video Grabber and load it as a kernel Module.
These devices have an RCA input for Composite Video and USB. (They cost ~10$)
But you'll need a very fast processor in your phone/tablet, also root acess and USB Host.
I'm wanting to have the Android OS on my Desktop computer. For a media center, as the android market has HBO, Netflix, Showtime, ect. I have a Dell Vostro 410 Desktop Computer. How do I get started, I'm using a Ethernet in order to get internet. Cause the main purpose is for media.
It's possible, take a look at android-x86.org
But you will run into problems with those types of apps complaining about your device being rooted or otherwise unsupported. Also, since your device is not supported by Google, Google Play Store won't work.
Really you would be better sticking to a more supported Desktop OS.

I agree that it seems an unusual choice but you can get round the market restrictions using the patched version of play store app which is available in one of the forums here at xda I think.

There is android for computer try the liveCd Google it and burn it on a CD using roxio or Nero and you can boot android anytime you like

from my understanding the Android SDK has a built in emulation for android, so i guess you could try it. Dont think you can Root the thing tho.

The main reason why I want my desktop computer to run on Android, is to make a Entertainment computer. A computer that connects to my TV and can watch HBO GO, Netflix, Showtime, Youtube, Ect.

It has an option to make the system file read and write. So Root is usable, but I want to make a recovery on the computer, like I want to go into clockworkmod onto the computer.

Would it not be easier to use windows and the variety of free software for it to do so? You can hook pc up to tv and get a remote control so you could control pc with it, there are programs out there designed for such purposes, I used one years ago when I built a mame arcade cabinet that could also record tv and stream videos etc.
Get the x86 android release and if it does not work maybe try using windows as its unlikely android will be smooth enough on your pc because it won't have optimised drivers for your hardware.

I agree to others stating to use an actual computer OS. Have you looked into the wonderous works of Linux? There are endless builds out there. Plus with IE9 i know you can make custom shortcuts, like desktop icons, that when you launch them it will take you directly to netflix and log you in.

I suppose the simplest approach would be to set windows up so desktop icons can be opened with one click. Then if you had a remote control you could use it to start the different things you want by using it to click on saved desktop shortcuts. Elesbb is right that it is a solution you could try.
Alternatively you could try media server which does have a netflix plugin.

I have to agree. I think a windows box with a good media remote would be the best solution. That way it can be easily upgraded and drivers, drm, etc won't be an issue. Windows 8 is pretty touch oriented and might look nice as a media center.
That way when you want to upgrade hardware or OS you won't be stuck waiting for full driver support or patches and rewrites. I would also think it would be more powerful/feature-full for recording live TV etc.
Anything is possible though, and the Android x86 project would definitely be the place to start if you must go the Android route. Why not buy a high end Android tablet and run hdmi and then remote control that. I know that most peripherals exist in USB form, but I'm not sure how Android would handle, say, a USB TV tuner...

There is one problem with your request. The Netflix APK is specifically designed for ARM and not x86 and as of right now there are no known x86 Netflix ports. So, Netflix will not work.
While Android x86 is smooth its hit or miss on some machines. I am running ICS from a live boot usb drive on my old Toshiba A135 S4467. It is by far faster to surf the internet and check emails and such with Android than my Windows install. The volume however is extremely low and only works through headphones on my laptop. Auto rotate can be an issue.
I would strongly recommend looking into XBMC for Windows instead, it is a very highly regarded media centre software, and has plugins for most Internet content sources e.g. Netflix etc. Much more workable than an Android emu.
If you have $49 spare VIA have just announced a nice Android PC which might be of interest rather than try to make your current PC an Android one. It has 720p H264 video playback, comes pre installed with Gingerbread with 2 gigabytes internal memory and 512 mb ram.
I wrote it about on my blog (Google Current link is in my signature), you can find out more in my blog or direct from VIA.

Hi everyone,
Just wondering how I can build chromecast on a Linux machine. I intend to use the chromecast OSS on my spare linux box, connected to a TV and/or Audio to cast to.
I found the sources at the Google hosted site (which is not git) and have downloaded them. Indeed, I'd also built the sources for the default config, it does not work on my x86 Linux (Ubuntu) though.
Can someone help please?
Thanks
Cheers

What sources are you talking about? The Chromecast software isn't open to the public.
Hi there,
Thanks for the response! I'd picked up the sources from Google Drive /folderview ? id=0B3j4zj2IQp7MZkplRzRvcERtaU0 & usp=sharing
Do let me know if those aren't the Chromecast Open Source Sofware Sources.
Thanks
Cheers
yes, they are.
can made the China cheap android box to have chromecast function?

I can share my experience.
If you use Mag-250 and the like, you can make your portal. Look for the Stalker Portal or Ministra app package.
It can be installed directly ready on Windows using the Virtual box. Everything is done automatically. Very simple.
There you create your own TV channels links.

This does not have to do, you will not load a mobile or other device. It can be turned off. Then you can use the Magic Cast application yourself. And through it to transfer links, including YouTube, to your portal over a local network.
Chromecast is a streaming media adapter from Google that allows users to play online content such as videos and music on a digital television maybe Youtube video downloader apk. The adapter is a dongle that plugs into the TV's HDMI port; a cable connects to a USB port to power the device.
And this app has a easy https://topstorevipapp.com/topstore-stopped-working-unable-to-download-errors-fix/Topstore White screen error fix user interface that is simple to apply. So any man or woman can effortlessly navigate through this app. The apps and games protected in this app are properly prepared so that you can quickly discover the apps and games you need. This pleasant and appealing interface has made the app famous among many.
