[Q] GB + Slingbox - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried every GB rom and the results have been the same, so I didn't know which Rom thread was appropriate.
I'm unable to stream video using my Vulkano Player (similar to Slingbox). If i flash any other rom, CM7, bamf etc, it works just fine.
Anyone got any ideas?
Once again, this is specific to the leaked GB roms, they all fail to stream the video.

I am using the GB leak BAMF 1.7 Beta 8 and my slingplayer streams flawlessly. Not familiar with Vulkano but it could be their app..

Not sure what Vulkano is, but I use about 25 different slingboxes from solo to hd, and Im running CM7 and they stream perfect..... Just checked 3 boxes 1 min ago.
But you say it works with CM7 but what not with GB ROMs? CM7 is GB ..... ?

Slingbox works great for me on Bamf 2.1 remix.

Really? Even in high quality. Every time I put slingplayer into HQ mode (be it on wireless, 3G or 4G) it will freeze the video but the audio keeps going.
I flashed back to BAMF 1.7 and it worked flawlessly in HQ. My Nook Color running CM7 has no problems either (so I guess it's not just Gingerbread). I also pulled my Droid X running Froyo out of retirement for a few minutes and it also works right.
There must be a problem somewhere in the HTC Gingerbread leak.

Definitely problem with BAMF 2.1 or the leak it is based on. Installed new BAMF Sense 3.0 RC and it works flawlessly.

Are you talking about Slingbox or the Vulkano? They are two different beasts, and while I'm sure the Vulkano not working is due to their own lack of developing and app, I also know there are people who have gotten it to work with GB Sense roms.
If it is a Vukano that you got working, I would switch to BAMF Sense 3.0 tonight...

No sorry I was talking about Slingbox.

No Go on HC v4 eMMC 2nd Ed.
Downloaded and sideloaded.
Dolphin, Skyfire, Native Browser all report no Flash.
copied .so files for honeycomb, flash, stagefright to system/lib
No change in behavior. Do I need to enable -r on one of the config files for uptake?
I am also seeing no sound on flash, but hulu works with the hacked versions I've found. Anybody on CM7 getting sound to work?

Same question. No sound on latest CM7 build. Video looks a bit better and more smooth, though. Can't wait for some hardware support!

CM7 and Moonsoon's Vulkano

Well I am on my third Gingerbread rom (6th overall rom) and I finally have gotten the Vulkano to stream in all situations. Last night I downloaded CM7's nightly build 58 and flashed my G-Tablet. Installation was very smooth using clockworkmod and all 128 apps were restored using Titanium back with no problems. I had wiped and formated just about everything I could before doing the installation. After that I went to the market and downloaded the Vulkano player and at last sucess. I was able to stream from the vulkano both locally and over the internet. I realize some other people have had sucess using Corwins rom (CM7 based), and that was going to be next if this did not work. I had previously tried G-Harmony with no sucess, and then Vegan Tab GB with limited succes. The strange thing with Vegan Tab was it would stream over the internet however it would not stream when I was home locally. Watching the bandwidth I was getting at home the software player seemed to choke everytime it was over 1 mb/sec. When I was out of the house and connected over the internet it worked fine at speeds anywhere from 300-900k. This leads me to believe the hardware accelleration that is now included in CM7 is working with this app allowing it to run over my local network. Another thing that I have struggled with is getting recorded shows downloaded to my G-Tab. Well I still can not get it to work with any rom and the vulkano player but I have a work around for now. By down loading the videos using UPNPdownloader (avlalable in the market for free) you can then watch the recordings using MOBOPlayer or Rockplayer. Now for even better news when Rockplayers asks if you want to use hardware decoding and you answer yes the videos run close to flawlessly. On the other two GB roms it obviously would not work using the hardware decoding. They did run on the roms using the software decoding but they would stutter even at the lowest recorded resolutons. When playing high quality recordings they would be unwatchable due to the delay in video processing in which the sound which was a full 3-5 seconds ahead of the picture. This would make all sense since the Vulkano records in the H.264 video format and if I am not mistaken that is the portion of hardware accelleration that is working. Well I hope this helps someone else.
Lastly I do miss the Vegan Tab interface, the VT Launcher was very smooth and the rom was much more tablet oriented. I can not wait until gojimi includes this in his rom since the rom is CM7 based if I am not mistaken. Please excuse any typos and good luck.

Interesting. I have a vulkano, and am running vegantab with pershoot's latest overclocked kernel - I have not gotten around to getting it set up, but under that other OS (er, iOS?) I would pull over 2Mbit/sec (more like 3) for local HD content, and 1.5+ for remote (yay for comcast HSI) - I should test it out. I'll let you know what I see tomorrow!

Sounds good I am interested to see what happens. I am currently streaming between 1.6 and 2.0 mb/secs locally using the wireless router Verizion put in when I got Fios. My iphone streams locally between 300k - 600k usually.

VeganGinger just gives me a black screen and spinning "buffering" with the Vulkano inside the home. Meh. Not so good!
For the record, Vulkano (Monsoon) refuses to support G Tab and Android 2.2 at all. I'm now in a legal war with these clowns. be careful on CM7 as you may still encounter buffering quite often and screen lockups.
Vulkano issues on CM7 for Evo
I have the Vulkano player working flawlessly on my Nook Color running CM7.1 RC1
However, I cannot for the life of me get it working CM7 and my Evo 4G. Tried the stable and testing builds. I'm still debating if I really want to move to a nighly, but I might just do it to see if it works and restore back to 7.1 RC1.
BTW, I'm so happy they finally have a root process for the Evo 4G on Gingerbread!

Hello,
I am trying to make if possible the android vulkano application to work with 4.4.2 or Lollipop and stream while the screen is off.
This was possible with my 2.3.7. But with newer devices seems impossible. I am digging up some old vulkano posts incase somebody figured this out.
Thank you very much.

Netflix app on rooted 1.2

I am on rooted stock 1.2, netflix app does not properly login or when it does, it plays at like 3x speed, so what can I do to fix this?
You need to update your build.prop file. There are a few other threads on this as I was having the same issue. Sounds like Chipmunks movies...
Here are a few...

Hope this helps.
I used the following and it worked...
CM7 nightlys + Android 2.2 ROMs(Stock, Froyo, ect...)
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Also, I'm not 100% familiar with stock 1.2 and Netflix. I am running CM7 nightlies with Dalingrin's OC.
I finally kinda got netflix to work on my mn'd 1.2, except the lack of video is kind of a bummer. I did the full build prop fix, which got me further than some of the other build fixes. Any thoughts?

I just got mine working, amazingly enough. I had the chipmunk sound issue with no video. Then I updated my build.prop to HTC Vision and it fixed the sound problems, but still had no video.
I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105681
I left my build.prop as model: HTC Vision and manufacturer: HTC and installed the apk on the first page of the thread, mediaclient-1. It is working great now!
I guess everyone has difference configuration on their Nook Colors. I have rooted stock 1.2. From what I've read it seems to work easier for CM7 users.
My rooted Nook seems to loose the video depending on what day of the week it is. I can get it back by going into Manage Applications and hitting Clear data and/or Clear cache. However, I've yet to loose the video running under CM7 from the SD card.
Running Phiremod 6.2 the market version of Netflix plays flawless, audio & video.A little grainy for first few seconds then picture is great.

CM 7 MR 2 works with the leaked skype. I have not tested the video yet but I am able to make calls.
synergy rom works well too
Skype Mobile with video calling requires Gingerbread. It won't work on Froyo. Hence it working on all the aforementioned ROMs, but not the recent MR2 OTA (which is still Froyo.)

Plex

I am at a loss here and hope someone can give me a hand. No video playback on any of my devices.
tested on so far.
Droid1 running 2.3
Incredible running 2.3
Thunderbolt running 2.2
Galaxy Tab running 3.1
AppleTV2 running whatver pos latest os is on there
my server is a Windows Home Server 2011. my router is a D-link 4500
Port 32400 is open to UDP/TCP also
tested playback on mkv,avi,wmv,mp4 and streaming plugin with all failing
no errors just dont play,
any help would be epic at this point..
are you able to access "http://homeserverIP:32400/manage/" on a desktop other than the home server?
The phones you listed, is that just stating what firmware they have or that they are streaming with that firmware?
Custom ROMS have been known to have issues, for instance, I stream no problem to my stock Captivate with 2.3.3 installed, but I have an issue streaming to my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with TW... (funny thing, both are leaks from Samsung not custom ROMS)
More info about the devices your trying to connect with might help.

I don't think many people run plex here. I only had an issue with getting plex working was when UPnP was enabled. I disabled the service and did the firewall settings and enabled it again, been working no problem since.
With as many devices you have trying to get working, you might be better off going to the plex forums and inquiring there. http://forums.plexapp.com/
I've read through before and they do not support custom roms, only stock. And as for the galaxy tab with calkin's, it does not work for me either but it does on stock honeycomb and the first KFC touchwiz release. I am hoping the new official touchwiz will work out of the box. Good luck!

Yeah which version? The only one that worked for me was KFC release. So if its KFC based then its the Euro ROM and I am only interested in the US release.

I haven't found a format it can't stream I have tested extensions *.mkv, *.divx, *.avi, *.m4v.
It did have some troubles with mkv that had DTSHD as the audio, but they have released two updates since and I have't tried again. I set all audio to downmix to stereo to help with keeping the bandwidth down.
