Hi all, i have a little question after spend hours with ustream and veetle and trying hundred of roms
Seems Android is not capable to HD streaming (at least, broadcast), ¿is this true? a Ustream employee says:
------
Android system is not capable of HD live streaming. Encoding HD video in realtime requires hardware acceleration on a mobile device. The native camera app has access to it (that's why you can record in HD), but 3rd party apps are blocked. However, we're working on improving the broadcast quality, but don't expect HD broadcasting on Android anytime soon.
----------
UStream and veetle are unable to broadcast in HD with Gingerbread but under ICS Veetle start broadcast but show bad in client.
Tested In galaxy S2
Anyone knows if is a Android known problem.??? Perhaps a mod could fix this problem?
Many thanks.
It is not an android problem as the bbc are broadcasting hd video which you can watch live on android devices.

Also youtube videos can be watched in hd too so may just be the app developers problem in coding that feature.

Hi. thanks for response, but the problem i try to explain is that 3rd party apps can't access to hd resolutions of camera, (to broadcast, to UPLOADING a stream), of course is possible, with hundred of apps, download streams in hd, (see HD tv, HD youtube videos, HD broadcasts initiated from a PC)... but in this case camera of phone is not needed to downlaod streams....
I tried all broadcast services as ustream, make.tv, veetle, justin.tv... and nothing, all mobile broadcasting are VGA resoltutions or lower...
really is impossible for Android device to "throw out" without cable a video resolution better than 640x480 ???
Iphone seems can do it

Yes, the article isn't about N10 per se, but it has relevant info about Miracast that would translate to N10--whenever Goog can deliver on its claim of Miracast being a 4.2 feature rather than a phone-specific feature. Salient points from the piece:
"Both the Nexus 4 and Optimus G feature Miracast. On the Nexus 4, it’s supported through Android 4.2’s Secondary Displays...On the Optimus G, it’s part of the standard OS and can be enabled with a tap on a dedicated toggle in the notification shade’s Quick Settings area.
"Josh’s demonstration included browsing a photo gallery in full-screen mode on the TV, playback of HD video (an MKV file, no less), web browsing, and a game of Angry Birds. The phone can send output to the Miracast display from an application – for example, a video – and continue to use the phone normally. Josh demoed this by playing a video on the TV while playing Angry Birds on the phone.
"Another quirk is that Miracast uses your Wifi antenna, so you can’t maintain a connection to your home network while transmitting and will instead be relying on mobile data. This is a definite drawback compared to competing systems like AirPlay, but it’s something that could be added or changed as Miracast evolves.
"Notably, the demo was performed on the Optimus G. There seem to be issues with the implementation on the Nexus 4 which should be sorted out with a software update. This seems OK, as no-one has Miracast-capable hardware at the moment."
One of the things I wondered about Miracast was how it can maintain two wifi connections with a single radio. If the above is true, then it can't, so you can't do something like streaming Netflix from online, through your device, to the TV. This would put a massive damper on Miracast's appeal if you can't access the net (via wifi) while using Mira... Hmm, may be that's why Mira isn't available on N10. It only has wifi.
Also interesting that Mira implementations are different on OptiG and N4.
ummm...
Well I can't wait for android to actually allow wifi streaming apps like 'MirrorOp Sender' apps (plenty more on the market) get root access to the 'screen image'.
That is the only issue I am having, I have successfully used the Nexus 7 as my PC monitor with 'MirrorOp Receiver' as well as actually controlling the PC (windows 7) from the nexus with the same app, however as soon as I try to connect my Nexus 7 to the Qumi projector it informs me that root access is required, and to be quite honest I am not at all interested on rooting the nexus, I believe Google should include these things on the OS as they announced they would on JellyBean 4.2... a bit disappointing it still isn't out!
I found Pixel Media Server for streaming media files through DLNA to Internet-enabled TVs, but what I'm looking for is an app that can stream my live Android screen to my TV. Is this possible with DLNA or some other network technology?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that wireless mhl is possible unless you have a Samsung smart tv and a Samsung phone.

AirDroid allows for screencasting to a Web browser through its screenshot feature. However:
* Internet-enabled TVs are not necessarily capable of browsing the Web. Sharp Aquos is jailed into a handful of stupid widgets.
* Internet-enabled TVs or their browsers may not be powerful enough to run the AirDroid website properly.
* AirDroid's screenshot feature is laggy, by several seconds, and includes no audio.
So don't expect to watch Netflix through AirDroid any time soon.
I've tried a bunch of these types of apps from play store and found nothing good either.. If I could stream my screen via wifi to my computer I could just force that to my tv...
And my tv is Samsung.. And no.. Nobody's works well yet.. As far as I've heard and seen
e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel
Try DLNA Server!

I have a stand alone android device that supports bluetooth (keyboard and mouse) and has hdmi out. i use it to play videos, watch youtube, listen to music on my tv.
here's my problem.. some youtube videos are blocked on "mobile" devices.
I'm using the device basically as a pc (running android os) but theres no setting to have the youtube app report to youtube that its not a mobile app. does anyone have any other app suggestions? (that you can install on a android device, but report to youtube that their a browser.
any suggestions? are you a developer? write this app! ill buy a copy!! (and beta test)
there has to be both people in my situation and people who just want to watch all videos on their android devices.
i am also doing the same. how do we make you tube run everything on my nexus 7. sick of app version blocking everything. then Rhett desktop version not supporting flash.

I recently bought a generic media box from ebay (A20 Dual Core Android 4.2). As per the Forum introductory video, not only am I a noob but an Android super noob.
I have tried HD files (incl 1080p) from my external drive and they play very well! Youtube in HD also works great. Netflix is another issue though
The app (latest from the play store) loads and plays, but the quality of the video is horrible! I regularly use Netflix on my iPad 2 (wi-fi), computer (wired), and laptop (wi-fi) and the quality is great on those. I've tried using the media box both through a wired and wi-fi connection but there is no change in the quality. On my computer, I logged into Netflix and hard-selected for it to use the high quality video option. I'm fairly positive it's not a bandwidth issue.
In case it matters, I'm using an HDMI cable and have tried at both the 1080p and 720p output settings.
I've included screen shots of the OS version and build and the Netflix version and build.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Could this be a Netflix app and OS version / build co-existence issue?
remix os is great for some productivity stuff but since i have tried it for a week but no way around it plays videos on youtube or anyother streaming app or site so lets assume that this is a bug and i hope devlopers at jide will try to remove it in upcoming update. but until then if you want to play some video offline you can use vlc android app and it works fine on remix.

Having this problem too, and from what I've seen in the forums alot of people are facing it as well.
As a temporary solution, try BSPlayer. It's the only video playing app I tried that works at the moment. A bit clunky but functional.
Hopefully this will be fixed with the the coming updates =)
EDIT: I tried VLC player, but for some reason it crashes the entire OS for me xD
its to do with the graphics...my system can play full HD videos and 3D games like CSR2
try this....it might help:

I can confirm that on my Intel Core i3 with integrated hd 2000 YouTube works fine, video playback is fine, but on my older 24inch msi ae2400 that has an Amd 4670 mobile gpu video playback doesn't work and YouTube doesn't work. So i think its to do with the Amd video drivers, not sure if NVIDIA cards have a better driver, but intel gpu's seem ok
Youtube videos stream when I request the desktop version of the site in a web browser. This is not a graphics problem. There seems to be something wrong in mobile mode and something right in desktop mode. The browser proves it. Youtube and all those other apps must be running in mobile mode and that is where it seems the problem is. Try it... . Run Youtube in a browser in Desktop Mode --not mobile mode.

Good that you took the trouble to find the solution to the problem.
For me, I can't use internet as it does not detect my usb wifi dongle.
Maybe install opera/opera mini and see....that's what I use anyway.....I dislike stock browsers.
Or better yet, use the official youtube app...more feature rich and stable than browsers.

You need a browser with "a request desktop version" option. I don't think opera mini has this option. Moreover and probably a topic for another thread, in relation to your wifi problem, you could use somebody's android or apple smartphone to create a mobile wifi hotspot for your remix os computer to connect to. It will work. All smart phones have a mobile wifi hotspot.

thanks for the suggestion....about the browser.
opera mobile or opera mini (which i am using on my note 10.1 has that option.
regarding wifi hotspot.....if my pc has no wifi, how could i connect to any wifi hotspots?
anyways, i am not using it (RemixOS) as a go to OS yet....just trying out....so...no need for internet.
thanks again!
I can play videos in Chrome and VLC just fine, however MX Player simply crashes when opening the video (even the Remix Mini video). The laptop I'm testing it on has a Core i5-3317U with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Thanks for the suggestions =)
I forgot to mention that despite video playback not working in the Youtube and Facebook apps (haven't tried others yet), they play fine when viewed from the web browser. On Chrome, clicking and holding the video itself even pops up a "save video" option; an added bonus =P
For me this is how I use Youtube and Facebook on Windows anyway (through Chrome not the standalone apps) so it doesn't bother me at all. I play local videos using BSPlayer and they play great and they have subtitle support.
Only thing I'm struggling to get working are games. Not one single game works and an OS crash is always caused. I'm using an Nvidia gpu (GT 315 to be precise..... I know it's a very crappy one xD). Hopefully we'll get better compability in the coming updates =)
Intel Mobile GME 965 Express Graphics Card (Compaq 610)
Installed 3.0.201 Still problems when playing Netflix, Youtube etc videos from the app. Video freezes very soon while audio continues. When playing videos from Chrome browser no problem. I have a Compaq 610 with Intel Integrated Mobile GME 965 Graphics Card. When will Remix support this?
Cheers,
Patrick
problem is the video cards. to at least be able to watch youtube, just open the youtube app, click on the three dots top right of the video window and choose video quality of 360 or less and you will be fine.........
