Hi, has anyone been able or know how to mount our archos devices to an xbox 360? I have tried plugging it in via usb and mounting but nothing happens!? I have also tried to find a program that will tether to the xbox via wifi but again no luck. Any solutions??
You can try to change the usb mode under settings on your archos
Found a solution eventually. App called Twonky on the market, using the trial version for now.but streams perfectly from my 101 to my xbox.

Even if there was a way to do so, I don't think it would be really worth it. It's like trying to connect to XBL using dial-up; super slow more than anything.
when i use wifi tethering the very few games it lets me join due to strict nat type have bareley any lag especially if its a good host with fast internet. it isnt as slow as dial up as i get 3g signal which is way faster than edge/gprs so if i only got edge/gprs then the speed,would be dial up speed and wouldnt even connect to a game even with open nat type i bet. all i want is an easy way to open the nat type cos i get quite fast internet. also the sound from people talking in party,game chat etc bareley gets crackeled up which you would expect with this connection. someone needs to develop an app to open the nat type and if it has already been done, someone please upload it and post it here.

I don't play gta5 live, but I need an internet connection to save game progress. My smartphone does not have WiFi, it does have Bluetooth and USB tethering. I've searched to see if Xbox 360 has Bluetooth capability. Nothing definitive yet.

This has me scratching my bonce too. I don't have internet at home but have a internal network in the house with wifi switch (for laptops, NAS and streaming media to xbox). The only internet I have is my all-you-can-eat data plan on 3 (UK).
I have easytether which connects laptop flawlessly but should also connect xbox 360 / Wii / ps3 but I get an MTU error on xbox. Annoying as I need to connect to Live! to update console and play a new game (also all my bought games revert to demo mode offline) Anybody got any progress on this?
Hi guys
I want to play files from my home file server through the wireless network on the SGS 2.
How can I do this ? Do I need to VPN in ?
yes i also need something like that to play my films from my pc on to my samsung phone... how do i do this?
I use CIFS and Mount Manager to access all my files. You have to be on the same network though. I never tried using a VPN to access files.
thanks mate but i only have 1 mac adress (because my carrier S*CKS) maybe i can try using hotspot... can you acces them and play them???
Did you try streaming the video? That way you would be able to access videos from anywhere and you would stream from your PC.
It's not an ideal solution but it could work on Android because I used something similar on my tablet once.
no i didnt but will try later after work... i only need it for the videos for the music i use audiogalaxy is freaking brilliant... its the best app for it.. no setup no nothing just install go to the webpage and your running its automatics find all your music on the pc.(for all try this) thanks a bunch
edit sorry last Q what do you use to stream videos
I use a paid remote connection app (Splashtop Remote) because it's fast and I can actually use it to play a video on my computer and watch it on my phone. It's not an ideal solution but it works for me when CIFS doesn't.
There is also this: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...quality-video-android-tversity-nswplayer.html
And this but I don't know if it works over a different network: http://www.appbrain.com/app/vlc-stream-convert/com.gmail.traveldevel.android.vlc.app
Whats the difference between these and using the allshare app?
Ricey
Any more suggestions on this ?
What if i want to transfer my files across from my PC to the phone if I'm not at home ?
Like .apk, photo files etc
yes vpn is necessary to get access your system out side the home....
Hi,
I recently bought Xperia S - that has separate HDMI and USB ports, so i was thinking if i could use the device to play pc games and stream video and sound via my phone to tv.
The phone can stream 1280x720 resolution to tv, so i was thinking i could create some kind of onlive-like experience, by plugging phone to tv and connecting keyboard/mouse to it via usb hub/bluetooth - and WIFI streaming output from pc to my phone then to tv.
Is there any app i could use to archieve my goal?
I am pretty sure OnLive is kind of what you are looking for! You can't run windows on your phone, so this is as close as it gets!
Hope this helps! Hitting the thank button if I helped it much appreciated

You misunderstood, i dont want to run windows on my phone, i want to stream video/audio/input between my pc and phone - yes, same thing that OnLive does but with my own games on pc. I just dont want to use onlive - i want my local pc in other room - so far the closest thing out there seems to be kainy...
I know, I was just saying, I have tried several things and there is not really pc streaming to your phone that is instance from pc to phone. It has some lag.

I don't think this is possible. Closest you'll get is Onlive as previously stated or using teamviewer.

Actually - ive figured out what i need to do - thankfully i can come by with 10 meter hdmi cable from pc to tv. So ill do this.
Bought "kainy" app from the market, bought samsung USB-otg adapter and a cheap usb hub. I will run kainy on minimal gfx and sound settings, plug keyboard and mouse to usb adapter so i will be able to stream input to pc via kainy.
HDMI output will its job for video and audio.
I've also tried super snes emulator with logitech rumble pad connected via usb to my phone - thos works awesomely well - a mobile console/emulator replacement, the only problem i experience now is that phone slows badly when i enable tv out via hdmi from my Xperia

The only thing that could work is OnLive. VNC is too laggy for gaming. At least over my network.
Well i intend to use it only between 2 rooms, not over internet - if onlive works - local wifi should work better

I don't see this not being smooth/fast enough either, but who knows, maybe he will get it working.

well, i already got kainy working on my tv - but the compression is horrible, so i've decided instead to byu 8-10m HDMI cable and connect my pc -> tv directly , and just use phone as remote hub for keyboard, mouse - the lag for input should be minimal enough to play fps online - and probably way better option than onlive.
For devices that don't have support for USB [OTG or full size] and charging at the same time [Example, Nexus 7], do they have any devices, perhaps bluetooth, or maybe wifi, that you plug in your existing USB hard drive, and you can mount it on your tablet [via bluetooth or wireless], and stream the files like that?
The main purpose would be so you can charge the tablet and access a large hard drive, perhaps for videos, or whatever.
Does anybody make anything like this for Android?
And please do not suggest a "wifi HDD," thanks.
You need to share your HDD over network (using a compatible router or a PC as server) and use any CIFS client for Android (like this).

well my router is kinda far away.. and my pc also. :S
Oh... then do you need a portable solution? I dunno about that, but surely the only solution is a WiFi HDD (you can access to your HDD remotely, but you will not can stream files this way I think).
Hi all
I bought recently one of those cheap Mini Android PC (the MK808B) and I am trying to setup an easy/cheap NAS with it so I can see my videos from other devices. This would let me turn off my big energy-sucker desktop PC and leave that light small device doing its job. By the way... I am using the MK808B, but the idea is that any rooted Android device would do it.
Until now the progress is big and I can say it almost works... but that "almost" is why I am here, asking for help.
This is what I have done until now:
In the MK808B I have installed:
- Paragon NTFS&HFS+ (so I can mount any NTFS device, in my case a 32GB FTFS flash drive but this would support any big hard drive) (needs root)
- Droid NAS (a free app that does in theory what NAS do, in theory only accessible from Macs and Android devices although that would still be OK since I want to access to those videos from our phones and tablet)
So, once all this is setup and running, I go to any of my Android devices and try to access. To do so, I installed:
- ES File Explorer (to access my MK808B via my WiFi connection)
- MX Player (to play the videos)
And here is the problem: I manage to access my MK808B, I can get into the mounted flash drive... but when I try to play any of the videos, whatever the format, MX Player gives me this error:
"Video problem"
"Can't play this video"
If I click on an image it opens it, if I try to copy files I can... is just playing videos that doesn't work. Could be accessing them through my WiFi connection the problem? Maybe the MK808B is not reliable enough, WiFi speaking? Should I get one of those USB-LAN thingy?
If you could help me I would appreciate it. And also, I think getting a setup like this working would be very useful for a lot of people, who could access their files from any device while at home
Thanks!
I use BubbleUpNp from the play store across all of my devices.
HTC One X, Google Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and an MK809 plugged in the back of the TV. I do have a OTG-Lan plugged into a hub, with 1TB hard drive all plugged into the MK809. I have Finless 1.7 Rom on the TV Stick.
Seems to work well, allowing me to say use my tab to render a movie from my MK809 library (1TB Hard Drive).
Other recommendations for you are Droidmote. Droidmote server on your TV Stick and Droidmote client on your phone, acts as a remote.
XBMC android installed on your TV stick.
