Can't wait to get my hands on one of these babies.
Nice but wrong forum I think.
Goddamn it! I put this in the wrong forum. A thousand apologies. Could a mod please move this? I could have sworn I was in general.
Nice to see that there is coming some new accessories to android.. Now hope we also can get a nice remote that works without any mods and extra apps.
sounds good but I'd want to see it in action first
Not sure what the news is here!!
Have had an LG external DVD drive that works of one usb port for a few years now! or is this a DVD drive that works in android?

Sure you can access it, but you still need a player. Can any of the media players play .iso DVD files? Has anyone with a USB DVD drive tried plugging it in to see what would happen?

I've been meaning to search out whether or not I could use mine and have just been too lazy and busy (contradictory I know lol).
According to flub though, looks like we can't actually use them. I wonder, couldn't we just compile some linux drivers into our kernel similar to how they got external WiFi adapters to work in the dev sub-forum? Suppose I'll have to really start digging, I certainly am not about to buy another external DVD drive just to use it with Android.
I remember seeing some real cool external BD readers/writers that also featured some kind of wireless features and stuff, I would think from Samsung. Haven't seen anything on it anymore though, and I can't for the life of me find the original articles I had read.
I'm assuming that once plugged in, it will see it as an external drive. To play the .iso dvd files you can use MXPlayer.
Although this dvd player is cool, i would love to see a Bluray version.

Yep. That's what I'll be waiting for.
Just to be thorough I tried again this time connecting via a powered usb hub ( just because I was curious if it made a difference)
Still no joy, brief preparing external storage message then nothing
I guess blue ray I can understand don't want to rip all those to an external or whatever. But for the most part DVD is dead, why is this such great news. I can store 100's of DVD's on one External HDD. I also wonder if part of why certain drives won't work is power related. The TFP doesn't have much to give to the USB maybe drives with external power will fair better (and drivers of course).
>Although this dvd player is cool, i would love to see a Bluray version.
When I first saw the announcement, I had to check the date to make sure it's not a goof-up. I mean, a portable DVD writer in 2012?!
There won't be a BD version. That would take much more power, and this particular model is designed to be powered from a single USB port. Most tablets would be lucky to have one powered USB, let alone two.
I don't see much practical use for it, since optical writers have been marginalized by USB flash storage years ago. They're slower, more bulky, and chews through your battery like nobody's business. I suppose if you like to carry about your DVD/BD disc collection with you, it'd be good for that, but then you would just need a reader.
Heh, I can imagine somebody trying to rip a DVD with this. Yes, a true test for Tegra 3 processing power and of Prime's I/O prowess! Please take a picture.

I think this could be awesome for Note 2 in the car or boat (for any phone with OTG). Blueray won't work imho unless powered hub maybe ... too much power draw. But DVD is good enough and ubiquitous. Imagine a roadtrip... you stop by McDonalds, re-up on cheezbrgs, milkshakes, preload your youtube vids over their wifi, rent a redbox movie, rip it from DVD to internal memory... return redbox. 5 minute rental and no need to come back to return it - no late fees. Then just delete it when you are done. No need to recompress or anything just play native .vobs Simple, fast, ?legal?, $1.... sounds good to me.

Hello everyone, As I'm testing the tablets to see which one to keep, I found a Toshiba media player quite useful. It's like media suite which also lets you stream musics, videos, pictures from your PC using Windows media player. I installed the apk on Samsung Tab 10.1 (unrooted), and it worked perfectly.
I cannot do any screen grab, as I've not rooted it yet. But believe me it does work beautifully. The video player also lets you skip to the next video or go back to the previous one (if you have more than one in a folder).
Install instruction:
1. copy the ToshibaMediaPlayer.apk to any folder of your choice on /sdcard/ location.
2. Tap once on the ToshibaMediaPlayer.apk and select 'Install'.
3. Enjoy.
NOTE: I copied the apk from Toshiba /System/app/ using root explorer and used the same to install the apk. I'm sure it should work with other file manager as well.
The apk is 10 MB, therefore apk size limit prevents from uploading on xda. Please use the multiupload link to download the file.

Gonna try this, thanks. Mobo player works well most of the time but has it's hickups still.

Sry for the OT but i install this on my TF101 and it's working great, only problem is that only plays what stock plays... Is there a way to use an external player like mobo or vitalplayer?
As someone else mentioned it only really plays what the stock player plays and doesn't really have much in terms of options. Sticking with Mobo Player for now. Thanks for your work though.

Hi,
Can anyone who had Toshiba Thrive test out if it plays videos on wifi from a network share like a network hard drive or from a shared folder on a networked computer without first coping the whole movie to the tablet?
I tried Acer Iconia, Morotolla Xoom and not matter what file manager or video player I used, they all first start coping a movie to the tablet and only after that they start playing. I also have Acronis 101 and that one doesn't copy videos and opens them right away and starts playing.
Also can you read external hard drives in NTFS format when connecting it to the USB port on the tablet?
we're missing some libraries that we need to get DLNA working. it's looking for jnidhsdk, but can't find it. can you look in /system/lib/ on the toshiba and see if there's anything that might look useful?
better yet, if you could just extract the whole folder, I'll have a look myself.
Thanks,
Sam

A roundabout solution is to use the Plex app to stream movies stored in your pc/mac on the GT10, though it will set you back 5 dollars.
And thanaks to the OP for the toshiba media player which is quite neat.
Any chance you could also port the toshiba file manager, which I hear is quite good too?

Archos 101 is a tablet. Bad viewing angles, low memory but is light and cheap. It's on Froyo but it can see FAT and NTFS drives and opens any video from network drives shared over wireless network.
They have just announced new tablets on Honeycomb that will cost $279 for 8.1 inch and $349 for 10.1 inch and they will both have 1.5 GHz dual core CPU. both will come with 16 Gb flash memory but for $50 more you can order the same model with 250Gb SSD that is only 3 mm thicker than the same model with flash memory. Also they have full size USB port and you can buy a $49 USB 3G stick for your own data plan. That stick completely hides in the tablet and doesn't stick out and you can use it on your laptop/computer as well. I think I'm going to wait till september and buy one then.

Acronis was a typo, I use both and guess my fingers typed it automatically when I meant the tablet.
Well, for the new tablets they are planning on getting a better screen. If they put 1Gb or ram I'll buy it. The old one had very little ram so it kept crying for low memory when installing apps. But multimedia side of it was great. So far I haven't found that on any Honeycomb tablets.
thanks alot !!
Worked for me instantly and picked up my TVersity Media server without issue. Playback was perfect, but I do wish there was a way to adjust the app to access my home network when away. I'm not a fan of Plex... I prefer TVersity.
please re-upload te apk file...
Yes if possible please re-upload. Or if anyone want to give me the apk I will upload it. Thanks in advance.
Ok guys, I have done some hunting on the internet for a way to use my Android Tablet as a display for my PS3.
Now I am sure some of you are thinking "That's an effing great idea blorenzo, you are so awesome and wise" while others are thinking "why do you want to do that?"
To put it simply, for example say I am playing PS3 in my room (where my PS3 is located) but feel the sudden urge to defecate (take a ****) I can bring my Tablet into the bathroom with me, prop it on something and keep playing. (This is literally the event that gave me this idea)
On top of that say I want to play PS3 in the living room but am not in the mood to bring the entire unit downstairs, I can bring down my Tablet and plug it into the TV and boom! Or better yet say my girl wants me to watch a TV show with her that I am not into (Jersey Shore) then I can bring down my tablet and a PS3 controller (bluetooth reaches for me) and pretend I'm browsing the internet while I am really playing Killzone online.
You see in that situation it is a win/win, she thinks I'm spending time with her and I am actually having a blast killing people. I am sure there are many more uses for such an application and I could list them endlessly.
If it exists already someone point me in that direction if it doesn't... I think someone has ALOT of work ahead of them.
That's really a lot of work. Would the ps3 have built in drivers to transmit image through bluetooth? I think no, you'd need a modded ps3.

The WiiU plans on doing it...
Brothers if history has taught us anything its, when there is a will there is a way!
Lets think about this... (I'm not trying to be sarcastic or rude in anyway, I was simply asking these questions out loud to myself)
Are there Android Tablets that Support USB connections? Yes.
Is it possible to receive a video stream via USB? Yes.
So would it theoretically be possible utilizing some sort of USB Dongle? Or HDMI to USB Dongle?
reverse engineer the psp play functionality, does exactly this, right?

Ya that's what I was thinking, I remember checking out my PS3 stuff through my PSP (Checking messages and stuff) on any wifi network, but it was pretty slow and limited, no games or really anything other than the web browser and messsage box. Maybe there will be something better with the PS Vita.

this guy here seem to have done what you want http://ps3maven.com/portable-ps3-mod/ and to everybody who said it cant be done in your face
to do this with an android tablet you would need two things:
1. you would need a wireless HDMI bridge (they're expensive, but something like this: http://goo.gl/z53fL)
2. You would need someone to make a mod/app for the tablet to convert HDMI out port into an HDMI in port. This would be done in either via an app or a mod to the actual kernel and how it uses the HDMI port. AFAIK most android tablets have an Mini HDMI port on them.
Doing these two things would give you wireless signal to your tablet anywhere that is within range of the HDMI bridge.
Nice, thanks for the reply's guys and now we know for a fact that its not impossible. If we only had a Dev who could see that this would be an awesome application for a tablet and come up with a way to achieve it.
Or Sony could just release this app officially, I would gladly pay for it.
I guess I will continue to dream...
I think HDMI in for a android tablet would be sweet! Think of taking car trips with a xbox or ps3. Or any of the many other devices you could plug in!

i have limited background in this, but was looking for the same thing. and everyone is saying it is not possible. Bluetooth is entirely plausible... plus the bandwith is **** so the image would either look good, but have about 2 frames a minute, or look like **** and be mostly playable. however, the PSP and PS Vita can do something similar over the network. if someone can rip the "Remote Play" bit out of a vita, and toss it in some sort of emulator, it might work. but the PS3 controller would likely have to be connected to the tablet.
Tablet PS3 monitor - The easy way!
Really...
If you have a PC with a video in PCI card (maybe if you don't mind the bad quality you could use a webcam even) plug your audio, and video from your PS3 to your computer. Use VLC to stream the incoming video and audio over your LAN in a format that your tablet can play. Play the stream via the media player on your tablet. Done.
Your welcome.
sounds good, buuuuuuut...

I was actually thinking of a device that did the same thing (PS3 or other video source to tablet). Have you found any products like this out there yet?
I understand what AmnzeroCorrosion is saying as to how that path may work, but I think this glosses over some technical challenges. Using most video capture cards will introduce latency b/c most video capture cards encode to MPEG. While being very efficient in bandwidth usage, MPEG uses interframe comrpession so it takes a couple frames of video being input before the first frame can be sent over the network. Couple that with network delays and the latency only increases. I wouldnt see it taking much before the latency of the setup would make it unbearable for fast twitch games.
I would be extremely interested to know if this has been tackled already.
Idisplay might work
I was googling on it and found Idisplay application. Not sure if anyone tried on it, but i am planning to use it for my PS3 and LG 3D Android mobile.
If already anyone use then welcome to share experience.

Hi guys, did a search and couldn't really find this topic on the forums. Could anyone please post the best(hopefully free) way to get my blu-rays onto the prime? I used to use cucusoft when i first got my ipod touch back in the day and that worked awesome! i don't know if they make one for the prime but something like that would be great cause it was sooo easy and the video and sound were on point. Thanks in advance for the help.
What about an external Blu-Ray drive.
With the Transformer dock you could use it's USB port to attach the external drive and boom.
Now you will just need drivers.
Anandtech did a review with a 40Mbit/s video. It was a 10 minute segment of Quantum of Solace and it was 2.8GB in size. The full 15GB version of the movie played fine as well. The biggest pain was copying it.
You could convert them to MKV. Anandtech suggested getting the DICE Player as it supports all the features of tegra 3.

Unfortunately even if we could do it, It's not only a driver issue. If it's anything like a pc it needs additional software to play Bly-rays.
I use anydvd to rip the disc to an ISO then use handbrake to encode. There is also a one click app they have for OG TF but I can't remember he name.
I thanked all of you guys for responding so quick. I was wanting something like a one-click deal like RussianMenace said to convert the file to a format that I can load onto the prime. I've only used software to do it so i don't know how to do it the "long way." And so you know, my PC has a blu-ray player drive. Can anyone explain how to convert the disc to a file on my pc that i can move to the prime or tell me of a program?
Hey there,
Ive bought the Prime with 64gbs, and added a SD with another 64gb. So Ive got storage enough for a few time of HD videos to watch on the go. Also I take a mini HDMI and boy, that works great. The Prime doesnt struggle at all even playing 1080p through the HDMI port also sends the sound to the tv AWESOME. (I dont know if it sends the sound as 5.1 since the hotels i usually go they dont equip my room with 5.1 sound what a shame).
Now, im staring at my Prime wishing I could control it using my laptop or my SGS2. Is there any app that allows me to do that? just like the XBMC on the pc, that gives me access the library, and control the whole experience using the XBMC remote on the play market?
Just for the record - you do know you can connect an external hard drive to the Prime via the USB dongle or port on the dock?
Even better, it can be formatted FAT32, exFAT and (amazingly) NTFS. I would recommend a drive case with an external powersupply though - although I've been able to power almost anything I throw at the dock (not so much the Prime on its own).
As for controlling the Prime as a media player - I have to be honest here - you're kind of doing it the "wrong" way around.. usually, you'd get a cheap PC (like an Acer Revo) and add a TV tuner and use that as an HTPC, then use the Prime to control it - so you're kind of swimming upstream...
But, given the relative power of a Prime, I'd be surprised if XBMC doesn't come to it.. although I do have to point out - VLC has taken a LONG time to get to Android and they are working on it... so it may be a problem with the Android OS that's holding it back.
Update: Checked the home wiki for XBMC for Android - and there is just such a project - but it's not even in the starting phases yet. As I expected. the problem is that it requires a lot of work to get some of the code into Android.
There are quite few remote apps on the android market that will do what you want to do. With apps like MV Player, it will play anything you throw at it. It works great when you want to kick back and watch something from your tablet. HTPCs are kind of going the way of the dinosaur IMO with gaming consoles and things like Airplay, mini and regular HDMI ports, and Intel's WiDi technology continuing to improve on powerful mobile devices.

I've looked at what's out there, although the sticks themselves look really small it appears that most of them need (obviously) external power as well as some kind of remote which I'm guessing would be bulky. Is there anything that can be controlled without a keyboard/mouse? Can it be controlled with another Android device?
Unlike most people, who seem to want to use the devices at home for Netflix/cordcutting purposes, I actually want one I could keep in my bag with some kind of storage (SD or USB) full of movies so I could watch them wherever I've got an HDMI screen.
Portability is important, but so is playback of local files. I care less about streaming. Ideally the device would support playing everything up to MKV direct blu-ray rips with subtitles (really critical that subtitles work). Are these android sticks fast enough to do that kind of thing off USB smoothly, with mxplayer or something?
I purchased Minix Neo G4. It plays everything including 1080p mkv via WiFi (150N).

This is a reason I went with the MK802IIIS....I can use my smart phone to control..
Remember that (most of) these sticks won't do (as the software can't) dts/ac3 passthrough over HDMI.
So expect to be using only 2.0 stereo over hdmi.

Are you talking about having the android stick mirror what is on your phone? I don't think so. Some phones with HDMI out can plug into the HDMI port on the TV and mirror.
When people talk about controlling the android stick with their phone, it means they can use their phone as essentially a touchscreen. The stick should be able to browse to any website that you can browse to on your phone. Unless you've got some kind of restrictions on your router. In that case if your phone is rooted, tether off your phone.
neo g4 come with a remote, that makes it more portable to me
