Hi!
I've been looking for an app like Airfoil (Mac/Windows program) for Android. What it does is "hijack" your audio source (program), and sends it via Airplay to compatible Airplay units.
Where the Airplay or DLNA is not a problem, there exists streaming apps in the market. What i wonder is if the hijack of other sources is possible in Android? Assuming it would require root.
Why i want this? Stream Spotify or Google music from my phone/tablet to reciever in living room without any messy servers and such.
- Thanks for any replies, Mixy

Hello,
I have been considering to make a setup for a music jukebox fed by a NAS HDD. There are quite a lot of dedicated product for multimedia player, but they all require a display to browse the NAS files (except the squeezeBox touch, wich looks almost like what I would like to have, but requires proprietary soft, not working with any NAS).
Basically, I want to manage music for my living room, but I want to keep any display away as much as possible.
So I thought that a kind of small tablet could do the job.
Requirements :
Acces to the NAS via network, preferably via ethernet.
Stereo output (any kind even if digital is prefered).
Small display 7 inch ok, 10 inch maximum (I don't want any angry birds invasion).
Cool file browser, preferably with music management (artist, style, album tags... CD cover if available).
I discovered that Archos made cool tablet and that OS may be hacked, so I can expect to find a good rom for this kind of use (or may be cook my own, though I don't look forward this)
More of all, you can find cheap Archos 7.0 home, Arnova... devices.
So now I think the best is to ask to those who already know the more about the device (and I would apreciate any advice for I might need something else).
So far I know there are no decent android tablet with ethernet port (I'd rather not have to rely on WiFi), but may be there are some adaptor.
Thank you for reading. More thangs to come for those how will take time to answer.
Not sure exactly what you want but it sounds like you should look at MPD, the Music Player Daemon. I set it up on my file server (a linux box, not a NAS) and there are android clients for it that let me control it from anywhere I get wi-fi. I've also seen MPD run on openwrt devices too... google "mighty ohm wi-fi radio" for more.
Thank you Jimmy,
Indeed, I found some soft that could do the job. I guess you recommend this project. Sounds like very promising.
In fact I have more question about the hardware. I don't think the Archos 7 home provide any kind of ethernet port even through an adaptor. So I'll need to set up WiFi (I don't use WiFi at the moment, for I prefer wired solution). I discovered that it is possible to hack the Archos tablets, but I don't know for now what are the gen8 and gen9. I suppose that Archos 7 home are g8, but not sure for now.
May be should I consider some other hardware issue, but since I only intend to read music I suppose the archos 7 home should have enough CPU power.
Another alternative seem to be an Archos9PC, but first it is more expencive, then it runs Windows I really don't know.
You are wrong, the Archos 7 Home ( you are in the wrong forum for that ) is Gen7.
Gen8 ( 8th Generation ) is the Archos 70 Internet Tablet.
While the HT has enough cpu power, i don't think you will be happy with it, but who knows.
The Gen8 has UPnP directly in the Firmware and the std Musikplayer allready has an option to use the "normal" twonky ( or whatever is running on your NAS) Server.
You can use a OTG Cable and a USB-Ethernet adapter, but Wifi is alot easier.

Ok, If I understand well, gen7 won't be possible for rom change. NoGood.

Thank you for the advise. I suspected something like this. I'll keep on reading.

I suggest as I do. Run NAS with the DLNA. Setup a western digital hd media player to your audio/video system. Use the "bubble upnp" app on your Archos to controlled it all. I use this method and am able to play content from the NAS to the WDHDTV or straight to the tablet or vise versa... from tablet to WDHDTV... bubble does it ALL.... if you want video too...HD video maybe? Use a PC/Linux or some Box to run TVMOBILI on your box and have it index the NAS instead of the built in NAS Dlna... it is better Dlna server and supports MKV without transcode... and also supports AllShare (Samsung TV protocol) so you can just use your Samsung TV as your player instead of WDHDTV player... I have all 5 things running now and I have many options in my media arsenal

Looks like the kind of app I'm looking for. Thank you Josh.
I do NOT want anything but music, for I 've banned TV and internet from the living room. (TV and net have dedicated place). I don't want to set up a LinuxBox either (I'll probably do that for the HDTV in another place, but one thing at a time).
So the questions are :
-Would an Archos 7Home be good enougth for that ?
-If yes, is it possible to change the ROM of the Archos 7 home for a homecooked optimized rom ?
-is there somewhere an option (as for Archos9PC) to cradle the archos 7 Home whit a ethernet port (to avoid Wifi) ?
Finally, considering the NAS working along with bubble upnp, is it required to install some soft on the NAS and are there some kind of incompatibility (that's one of the drawback I see with the logitech squeeze box touch)
Hi all,
Quick question, does any one know if it's possible to stream the video from an Android phones camera to a pc via usb or wifi in effect to give you a zoomable HD web cam?
Oh and of course to capture that video feed.
Fingers crossed.

Thanks Rober,
My mistake, I've used ipwebcam in the past and (while I can't get it working at the moment) I know it does a good job. For my purposes though I need a p to p connection without going through a router as I'll be using this, literally, out in the field.

Hello everyone,
Im developing a application detect thief via ip camera.I watched successfully camera via rtsp on surface view, but I have a problem "how can I detect color in around center of surface view". In this case, If someone wear red T-shirt appear in front of camera, this app will notify that is red color.
I try to use mediametadataretriver with getFrameAt() method but fail, this method work well with mp4 local video.
First of all, Can someone tell me how to capture frame from rtsp streaming on surface view?
Thank in advance

Hi.
I do not know if this is the right place to ask.
I have got an Anycast m2 iii Plus (brand nsendato) tv stick.
It is like a chromecast, with i.e. mirascreen and dlna support.
I am subscribed to a movie supplier. But streaming content from their app to the anycast will not work. They say they only support Chromecast.
Is there a way to make the anycast mimic chromecast, i.e. with rooting the dang thing? Perhaps it just needs a chromecast signature?
I am hoping someone on xda has experience or can point me in the right direction.
Wondering the same

Sorry for the late reply, summer holiday.
I can't help you anyway. I found the anycast irritating and sold it to buy a chromecast 2.
Good luck anyway.
