Has anybody managed to get this to work on prime or found another way of being able to watch sky from it.
Sort of. It's not ideal but I use a PC to show Sky Go and then connect to it using Splashtop Remote.

I don't have an Archos but I have a Galaxy 10.1, Asus Transformer, and a Galaxy S phone. I have been trying to figure out how to strap the 10.1 to a headrest and remotely play movies for my son in the back seat and I'm hoping the Archos software would be the key.
Has anyone ripped the Remote Control Server APK from this rom to be used in other tablets/phones. The controller is on the market but the server side is not
Or if someone knows a way to do this that would be great. (Note: DLNA is nice but its a full PUSH and what I want to do is control the media already on the tablet, or use the Sprint 3g on the 10.1 to stream netflix.
I have tried Server VNC for droid, and it breaks on tablets.
Thanks for all your help!
Maybe someone with an Archos and another Android device can analyze what is sended by the other device to the Archos (Wireshark for example)

I am fairly sure this is not an APK, as sin not a simple app. it is a service baked into the system code of the ROM. This kinda of app is not overtly simple to add to android even IF you had all the source to the ROM, which no one does for HC yet.
The only problem is to know what is said on the network. After that, creating the app to communicate with it is "easy".
Am i to understand that you want to stream video to Archos from your Asus/Samsung ?
No, he wants to control his expensive Samsung 101 via a remote.
Something that comes included with any cheap Archos Gen8 ;-)
Expensive
Yes, its more expensive then the Archos but its 3g via Sprint. So I can stream, check email, watch IP cameras for restaurants that I am responsible for. But when traveling with the kids its nice to put in a headrest strap and control it.
Right now my son who is 3 will either tap the screen and freak out because the movie stopped playing, or if he is holding it he ends up stuck in some app. This will allow my wife or myself to start other movies, netflix streams, etc..
Headrest monitors for cars are not cheap (unless you get some really poor generic ones) and once the kids hit 5 years old they will not want to watch a linear movie, they would want to watch and interact with the web. (Humm or maybe I'm the biggest kid in the equation )
Right now I can DLNA push a video to the tablet using BubblePNP (Works great) but its annoying when my phone wifi sleeps or phone calls seem to mess with the connection. Remote control will keep each device truly separate. How many times I have walked out of the car to get gas out of range of the DLNA sharing is annoying.
Here you go...
I Hope this is what you are looking for...
Ripped out...Have Fun!
He doesn't need the remote, he needs the receiver for the Samsung.
I saw the words "remote" and "software" in the OP.
Yes, but he's searching the server side of the remote software ^^
Looks like the best way to get the Archos remote server app is to unpack Archo's firmware and take the server app out.
I found some linux tools that can do this, e.g. using aos-tools
However, my linux skill is only novice level at best, so I don't think I can unpack it successfully and find the remote server app.
Anyone happy to give it a try and share the file?
I see the instructions to unpack can be found here: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=The_aos-tools_Toolchain
I was looking for such app and Archos seems to the the only company which have a Android remote app right now... I am interested to install the remote server app on my Android phone or tablet and see if it works.
for control the tablet from an android phone you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
hi all I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get videos from android to the wii (hacked of course). I have tried to just plug in a usb cord in the back like I do for my psp but every time I go into an app for watching movies it wont show my phone. I know I can just take the sd card out but its a real pain to take the back off my phone and the case I have on it too. anyone have any ideas (besides taking out the sd)?
i'm wondering the same thing, they both have bluetooth, so maybe there's a way to stream music/video from android onto it that way? even if that isn't possible, is there a way to trick the wii into thinking it's a linux computer, and stream via wifi? (wiimc should be able to identify it at that point, no?)
i doubt anyone's going to bother trying to get this to work : (
What about a dlna server and wiimc? Does it work?
Or set up samba filesharing on android and connect from wiimc?

Yes it's completely possible (and without wires) to stream videos off your rooted Android to your modded Wii. I'll see about writing up a full guide ...
[Guide/How to]Android/Wii wireless networking solutions | Stream videos and transfer/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576185
... for now though I'll assume you'll want to know how I did it quickly
1. Download and install WiiMC to your Wii if you've not already done so.
www.wiimc.org
2. Download and install FTPServer to your rooted Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lutey.FTPServer
Edit 12172013- this next suggested app should replace the previous
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nalic.app.wifishare
WiFi share is far more stable to use with the Wii ... Well for streaming with WiiMC it works but for WiiXplorer I've yet to get this app to work.
3. Set up FTPServer to point to the folders you want to share
- check the box to restrict access to other folders
- set user name and password
4. Connect your Android device to a wireless access point, for this I used an old rooted phone that has the Hotspot function but no data connection to the outside world, but you can use a wireless router instead.
5. Open FTPServer again and start the service.
6. Now to pick up the Wii mote and set up a FTP connection
- Finger up to the gear symbol, click it, and finger down to Network
- Add a new FTP (it's the option that isn't smb) and input the info from the FTPServer app; IP-address, port, username, and password.
Note: don't worry about setting a folder path in the WiiMC screen we're in right now because FTPServer will take care of this if set properly.
- Back out of the setup screen on WiiMC and finger over to the Film icon (on the far left of the screen) and you should see your new connection, click it and enjoy browsing and playing almost all your videos on your Wii.
Somethings to note; it's kinda finicky on showing anything in a directory so just press B and A on your Wii mote till it works, high resolution videos don't work well so keep it 480p or bellow, I'll say it again its really finicky so try restarting each device's connection or software one at a time till things start working.
I realize this question is from a little wile ago but felt that this answer would benefit us all. I don't know if streaming music or pictures wirelessly from Android to Wii works but video works once a directory is loaded. I'll be testing other apps, options, or crafting my own solutions shortly to work out why folders don't always show content but for right now (just got it working a few hours ago and have been watching all sorts of formats) it's great for proof of concept and home use.

Any one got this working on a Transformer Prime running ICS? I know some people have had this working on other devices but was wondering if anyone had this working on a TFP and if so how they did it?
Thanks in advance
I have tried lots and failed.
The only way I can get it to work on the tablet is to run Sky Go on my PC and then connect to the pc using Splashtop which streams it to the tablet.
So here's my bright idea (*note May not be an original idea)
I have a tablet I'd like to use as a back seat media player in my car. Kids are too young to operate. I would like to be able to sit in the passenger seat, pick up my phone, and select a movie to stream to the tablet. What app will do that?
I tried googling but all I can come up with are controlling your desktop or tv with your phone and controlling your phone from your desktop.
Can't you do such things with bluetooth?
I am not sure myself is the reason for the ?.

Thanks. I'll play with that as wel as Tablet Remote once I get my tablet. I'll let you know if it does what I'm thinking.
Xperia phones have a " throw" option. U can throw videos using wifi.
Hey guys,
I've got a big problem.
I want to modificate an app called "Sky Go". Well, the main reason is the following: If you look at the available content of Sky Anytime - which you can access with your normal Sky Receiver - and Sky Go - which you only can access with mobile devices - you can easily see, that Sky Go has much more films than Sky Anytime.
Well, Problem 1: I own an Asus TF300T Tablet. It very good at decoding video etc. caused to the Nvidia Tegra CPU. Long Story Short: I want to use this tablet but I can't cause the App is not available for this device. No Problem, installed the App on my Galaxy S4 Mini and copied the app to the tablet.
Problem 2: The App currently only works with WLAN, but I don't like this solution. I own the Media Dock for this Tablet that offers LAN Connections to the tablet. With other apps the LAN Connection works, but Sky says whenever I start it "Please check Internet connection"
Problem 3: HDMI. I don't want to watch the videos from Sky Go on my tablet, no. There's a big Flat TV in the living room I want to use. Whenever a movie is running and I plug in HDMI it stops showing the video and says "Chromecast is not available at the moment"
Long Story short: I want to modify the App.
I've already disassembled the app with apktool and managed to edit the "sources" with APKStudio.
I thought I found the lines where there's checked whether HDMI is plugged in or not and where's checked the Ethernet connection. I could say I was 10000000% sure. Well, recompiled the app, installed it and it doesn't work.
Could APKStudio be the cause? Doesn't it recompile the app with my modifications?
