Im kind of let down by the lack of video support. I have RockPlayer and MoboPlayer and Ive tried every UPNP app in the market. Music works great, no problems there, but video support is hit or miss (usually miss). I cant really put HD videos onto a 16GB ssd can I?

And whats the point of Flash if half the sites give me a "device not supported" warning? I may as well be browsing on my PS3.

Anyone have any suggestions? Ive used 2player, upnplayer, skifta, andromote and nothing works consistently
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
You can use the mynet application. It does upnp streaming.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
I still have no idea how to stream videos or ebooks on this thing. Can someone write a small dummy's guide please.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kefje27:
here it's also a conundrum

I've read on e few places they use the MyNet from asus to view the movies

but on my Tf it only shows the music found on my upNp device no Photo's or vids...(even on the photo tab it's showing my music)

It's running on a WD myBook and that is running TwonkyServer, if I browse to it via a file explorer the file gets copied/cached so no streaming ...

So is the twonky to blame or the TF....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilentMobius:
I put my video on a 32GB microsd. If you are trying to watch HD content that has issues fitting in 16GB then the bitrate is going to be too high to play anyway. Please remember that not long ago a 3ghz Pentium4 was having issues playing h.264 high profile well, this is the order of magnitude of the work we're expecting the Tegra2 GPU to do.

Since 3.1 I grab HD content from iPlayer and it generally weighs in at 800mb per hour, at that rate I can fill my Transformer with ~30hrs of video and still have plenty of space for music. I leave all the internal storage for apps and cache.

I have never seen such a warning, I assume you're trying to use the locked-down US video sites like Hulu? Blame them,, they are choosing to lock out your device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Budadank:
Would you mind sharing how you do this? Are you using the iPlayer desktop Windpows program and stripping out the DRM or are you using some other method to watch iPlayer downloads on your TF? The iPlayer Android App doesn't work well with Honeycomb and I'd love to be able to watch BBC programmes offline while I'm away from home.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MoxFulder_CH:
watch videos : mobo/rockplayer + upnplay rocks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funkybudda:
For anyone struggling with the rubbish Mynet app and similar streaming solutions, I can recommend Plex (http://www.plexapp.com/)

The Media Server is free and built on XBMC tech, so managed media flawlessly, and the app allows you to stream video/ music from your home computer to anywhere you like. Even works without stutter with HD MKVs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MoxFulder_CH:
I just want a good upnp client which allows streaming like upnplay. I don't want to install a new server on my nas.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
+1

plex works very well...and it has impressed many of my friends.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moo99:
I will check out Plex I guess. I know Im whining but Ive got a 2TB HDD that I keep my media on and transferring over every half gig HD video is foreign to me - my wifes windows laptop and my ps3 gladly stream it. Mynet works fine for music but doesnt work at all for most videos.

Yes, I was trying to get into NBc.com and hulu, but really, why do I have a different version of flash from windows and mac desktops? Not being able to alter my Browsers User agent string isnt helping either. I know Im just *****ing and I do appreciate al your comments. Youreright on every note, but honeycomb seems a step behind a ormal OS despite looking the same :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
There is a thread here on the requirements for encoding your videos for the TF. The TF cannot play RAW Bluray rips if that is what you are trying to do. Acutally no tablet will at the moment. You're only alternative is to get a transcoding streamer like VLC and VLC stream and convert, or tversity pro. I have not tried plex. The issue is that mp4 can only be streamed if the file is complete OR over RTSP/RTMP. I have used VLC but the video quality is pretty bad.

For mpeg-2(DVD) i use upnplay + Rockplayer and it works flawlessly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EntrepNZ:
I've tried the all (Plex included) and settled on upnplay + moboplayer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike5065:
Based on advice in this thread, I tried Plex last night. The Plex app plays FLAC music just as well as the stock player, and the honeycomb presentation is good, they really enriched the content, although presentation is nowhere near the awesome stock music player UI feel. Video was good, although it was SD avi stuff on my network. No stuterring and no lag, very very responsive. Some odd behaviors at times, and the media scan has a couple of issues. They are supporting it though.

I uninstalled Mobo, Rock and UPnPlay, and shutdown Windows media connect service on my Atom-based W2K3 home server, and removed the Asus MyNet widget. UPNPlay and DLNA are great concepts, but the Asus implementation only supports what Mirosoft supports (meaning no FLAC). Google music will transcode my FLAC for storage. I got into android because of all these restrictions.

Plex did everything right, in one package, with honeycomb widescreen. Well worth my 5 bucks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhuzf:
Does anybody have info about that？Just can't wait......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
You know as much as we do about when a vibrant gb update is coming...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
The reason I ask is because I see a lot of build quality complaints on the forum (not arguing if this is because this forum is here to solve issues, even if it was just 1 complaint it would still count) which say it has bad build quality because it has a little lightbleed or sharp edges and other issues.

Well in my case I have treated my TF101 like **** (it's been banged around, dropped from 4ft+ heights multiple times, collided with things while sliding around on my sailboat, falling to the floor when I tried to chuck it on my bed and missed) and so far there isn't any (visible) damage, and is still working perfectly fine without any screen bleed.

So is the initial state of the product the only measurement of build quality? Cause I find the TF101 to be pretty resistant against pretty serious abuse and would say the build quality is amazing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
In the new generation of morons it's been defined as:

"Is it Apple? No? Then the build quality sucks."
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I own an iPad 2, well, owned. Gave it to my girlfriend.

Does it feel nicer? Yes. Is it shinier? Yes. Is it more rugged? No, my iPad got dented when it slid around in the ship and a corner of the glass cracked, luckily Apple repaired it for free after a lot of *****ing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wunshot:
Great quality

I have had mine for 2 weeks and have zero complaints. If I could find a good sleeve/protector for it, I'd be set.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
This isn't a thread about what is/isn't wrong with your transformer, I want to know what defines build quality.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
Build Quality: Your senses comparing a thing to your experienced things that cost the same money. The more senses involved, the more important and emotional (to you) the purchase decision will be. The more you'll complain if the product dissappoints you in some way.

These tablets are held. How they feel in the hand is an obvious factor (sharp edges, slipperiness, texture). How much they weigh works here as well.

They are a visual experience (not for the blind), and so things like screen quality and light leaks matter. Fit and finish of the body is here as well. Even fingerprint-ability matters.

How it sounds when we tap it, flex it, open it, close it, dock it, etc., are audio experience factors. Does yours squeak a little when flexed? Tinny sound when tapped? These add in to build quality as they appeal (or don't) to your ears.

Smell is a minor player with tablets. Not much smell to any of them that I can tell. Still, if they had an off-gassing plastic smell or hot/burning smell we would think less of them.

Last is taste. Nothing to lick. Doesn't come into play here.

4D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Okay so according to your logic a tablet that is well finished off and looks nice and sounds nice but breaks after a week because you dropped it from a 2 ft height has good build quality, but a tablet that has sharp edges, flexes in plastic, smells odd, and looks like a brick but functions fine and does everything the same hardware wise and more and keeps working for a year straight has bad build quality?

I think you need to visit your nearest Apple store.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
Relax. The question was about build quality. It is an instant opinion you formed when you first held a device. What happens after that (breaking when dropped, functions fine or not) adds or subtracts to that starting opinion. When it subtracts, we get pissed because we spent alot of money. The more senses involved, the more pissed we get. When the performance (which also involves one or more senses) matches or exceeds build quality joy can ensue. I don't get where your vile comes from. I've got an iPad and a Transformer and the Acer Iconia tab. I'm a furniture and product designer/builder/educator. I buy and use and then evaluate electronics as a hobby for my blog.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shawn_230:
I think people are just getting confused with the terms... there is quality control and there is build quality.

The Transformer seems to have good build quality generally, it's not made of awfully cheap materials and the corners aren't actually rough, like some cheap electronics you might buy from China or something.

It does seem like the Transformer may have hit some quality control niggles, which has nothing to do with poor build quality. Poor build quality is something that's done on purpose by the designers, poor quality control usually happens when somebody at the factory isn't doing their job.

Not saying the threads re. quality control are not valid, but as always it's always the people who had bad luck and got a faulty unit that come online to complain and get help.

So yeah, I think people need to learn the difference between quality control and build quality.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
That makes a lot of sense to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] HorsexD:
+100000000000000000000000 Seriously.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 4dthinker:
To be more specific, there are 3 different layers to what the end user might consider "quality". It all starts with a design idea, presented in both drawings and descriptions of what it does and how it should perform. One could hate the aesthetics even though they love the performance of it. Not black and white even here.

Follow with engineering. Pick the parts, spec the mechanics. Make it do what the designers described. Solve the technical details of how it all goes together. One could love the design (look) but not be fond of the processor chosen or material used for the case.

Then comes production. Here is where a set of parts gets put together then packaged. Humans in the factory make mistakes, and that is why some tablets are perfect while some have flaws. Production flaws. Not design flaws. Not enginnering flaws. Just a mistake someone made on that one identical set of parts when they did their part in putting it together.

"Build quality" is a vague and generalized term. How well the product survives a fall may be the engineer's fault. Light leaks sound like a production issue to me. If you don't like its feature set or looks, blame the designer. If your USB port doesn't work, blame production. If your USB port connects to everything but a specific scanner or printer that Asus never claimed it would work with, then blame yourself for expecting it to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
To me build quality is defined as functionality...

I know that technically that isn't right, but I'm one of those people who values functionality and practicality more than just looks and design. I mean I want the nice things in life but i'd much rather have things (especially in regards to technology) that helped me perform better and give me an edge.

This is the reason why I don't buy apply products, whether they be laptops, ipods, iphones or ipads. To me apple products are 100% about aesthetics while making productivity secondary.

So to me, the TF has amazing build quality. It has added advanced productivity to my life while at the same time adding more entertainment. It is easy to use, it's not heavy and doesn't slow me down. I can hold it for long periods of time without being bothered. I enjoy looking at the screen and I enjoy typing long emails and editing documents on such a small device with the efficiency of something larger...

It also looks nice to me and feels solid. I haven't dropped it yet so i'm not sure how it would hold up to carelessness.

In all, I love it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
It's all subjective: as long as you like your device then it doesn't matter what others say.

I'm starting to think that there are just some people on here who like being argumentative. There is no set definition; clearly, people have qualms with the exterior of the tablet (whether you want to call it build quality or whatever).

THAT is what matters -- your own opinion of the device. Complaints don't just stop at "bad build quality", they go into much more detail about that complaint (whether it be because of creakiness, light bleed or uneven screen)

Build quality is not a technical term so I don't see why it must be defined as such. It's like trying to come up with a technical definition for "quality". Does that mean strength/durability? Comfortability(when holding)? Functionality? Structure flaws? Heck, all these "general" terms are more detailed than "build quality". Plus, are we using relative comparisons or using a fixed system?

If you like your device, then that's great. But, there are people out there who have problems with the "build quality" and these problem's aren't fictitious. It really doesn't matter to them if you think that your device is great and durable. (actually it shouldn't matter to anyone besides yourself) There is still an underlying problem that needs to be addressed. Defining of a vague term doesn't solve anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] e.mote:
My 3 pennies...

The short version: It's whatever you think of it. Yours is a rhetorical question. There is no standard definition for "build quality," because there is no standard definition for "quality."

Anyway, in judging what is "good build quality," you are assuming that people can make rational evaluations of their purchase. Most can't. There is a whole host of biases in the way, ownership bias, cognitive dissonance, etc.

Do realize that there are currently VERY FEW rational reasons for buying a tablet, in that it is a discretionary item for most consumers. If you were basing your choice strictly on rational cost-benefit analysis, you would likely not be purchasing one.

Given that the underlying rationale is an emotive one, asking people to be rational is asking them to rationalize after the fact. Whatever answer you get is just that, a rationalization.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
9/10 the Transformers texture is excellent, i love the back and have never come to to dropping it, yet, :rolleyes:, sharp edges??? it weighs a bit more than the 'others' but that adds to the solid feel of the device, i don't want something that blows away in the wind when i'm in the garden.

10/10 I don't have any 'light leaks' (i've owned two and know of three others) i believe that to be over exagerated bollox :mad:

It's a 'glass capacitive screen', it's not going to be finger print resistent :rolleyes: but it's better at it than my Desire HD.

Finsh of the body is mentioed above.

9/10 It creaks when i pick it up by the dock by one corner :eek: but not nearly as much as my girlfriends Sony Vaio Laptop costing 5 times as much :D

Docking is now easy, i had 'problems' when i first tried it but now i just know how to do it properly, so that was my fault and not the Transformer :rolleyes:

When i tap the glass it sounds like glass, when i tap the back it aounds like plastic, errrrr it is :o

I find that if i don't clean the screen it doesn't smell, if i clean it it smells of polish :( That's polish not Polish! they live next door!

NOTE: If your right speaker is more quiet of course look for the srs_spk_int:trueq_rband lines instead.

EDIT:

While looking at your fix I noticed something, this is what I pulled from my config:

srs_spk_int:trueq_lband0 = 900.000000,-9.000000,0.700000 // TruEQ Left Band 0 Tuning (CF Gain Q) -
srs_spk_int:trueq_lband1 = 11000.000000,6.000000,0.500000 // TruEQ Left Band 1 Tuning -

srs_spk_int:trueq_rband0 = 900.000000,-9.000000,0.700000 // TruEQ Right Band 0 Tuning (CF Gain Q) -
srs_spk_int:trueq_rband1 = 11000.000000,6.000000,0.500000 // TruEQ Right Band 1 Tuning -
[B]srs_spk_int:trueq_rband2 = 400.000000,3.000000,0.700000 // TruEQ Right Band 2 Tuning -[/B]
srs_spk_int:trueq_rband3 = 2500.000000,-9.000000,0.700000 // TruEQ Right Band 3 Tuning -

if you pay attention you will find that the 2 highlighted lines are a different length, even though they should be equal, woops Asus?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielsjam:
I modified this line

srs_spk_int:trueq_lband2 = 400.000000,3.000000,0.7000000 // TruEQ Left Band 2 Tuning -

to read

srs_spk_int:trueq_lband2 = 400.000000,3.000000,0.700000 // TruEQ Left Band 2 Tuning -

This fixed my unbalance problem.

Thanks - this was driving me nuts.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Deathalo:
looks like Asus left out a 0, did you try adding one?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielsjam:
No I removed a 0 based on the fact that all others have five 0's or there are a total of six digits
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Deathalo:
Ah, yes that makes sense, it balanced your speakers correctly?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
Thanks for posting this up Freeza. Honestly, I was too lazy to do this before. Did you notice the Left Speaker tends to distort far "earlier" (lower volume threshold) than the right one?

danielsjam...are you sure changing/removing a zero fixed or changed the balance? It shouldn't make any difference considering its a trailing zero. I'll test this in a few just to be certain.

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] freeza:
oh wow. I hadn't noticed. GREAT find.

Yeah, I do notice it a tad, but I can definitely live with it! I was hoping you wouldn't mind. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielsjam:
Yes fixed my left speaker. Before this I could barely hear my left. If not wrong they are using ALSA sound drivers. You may find more info at the ALSA web site.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jcX4ever:
I pushed the OP's attached file (srs_processingDEFAULT.zip) then my left speaker became more louder. I pushed back my pulled stock original file from my TF but then my right speaker is now louder.

Updated the OP to reflect seshmaru's findings. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
BTW, anyone know what srs_processing_JN101.cfg is for? It's almost identical to the original cfg and it showed up for 3.1. if you change stuff in there, sound seems to be unaffected?

Thanks!

verkion
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] verkion:
Since sharing is caring, here's my srs_processing.cfg

You'll notice in the TrueEQ settings, my center frequencies are completely different (or quite different at any rate), because I was trying to get a nice flat response. It's better but not very good b/c the speakers suck at the end of the day.

I ALSO turned down the gain in the following section:

HLimit - Internal Speaker Boosted
hlimit_boost = 2.000

This it to prevent the distortion in the left speaker but has the negative effect of making everything quieter.

Incidentally, the reason why I am trying to get a flat response is because you'll notice that there are 10 GEQ settings for "Internal" and 10 GEQ settings for "External". They are all set to 0 at the moment but you COULD tweak them to your liking. Each of the presets appears to be a 10-band equalizer, probably fairly standard frequency spacing, controlled in dB gains. i.e. you actually have a built in Equalizer that isn't really being utilized properly.

You can have a bunch of different profiles and then switch between them by specifying which preset you want to use:

geq_int_preset = 0 where 0 is the preset number

This line is found at the top of the srs_processing.cfg file.

Lots more to play with in that config file. I wish there was some way to "reinitialize" the sound engine without having to reboot. Then, a program w/a gui could be written that allows this stuff to be adjusted by the user as long as they had root access.

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew2511:
i tryed your fix and it works really nice! :) but i'm "scared" about the stress that the left speaker have to sustain. i notice that there is a very strong vibration of the left side of the back cover so i think that the left speaker isn't equal to the right but it's smaller.

i don't want a damaged left speaker so i renounce to the balancing :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] d.brown:
I think the problem with speaker balance is due to the fact that the right side as more opening (microsd, hdmi) for the sound waves to get to our ears...if you look at the left side those tiny holes on a metal casing don't let enough sound waves thought that's why when you listen to some music at a higher level you feel the back plastic casing vibrating... Like a subwoofer made of plastic
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
Interesting. I haven't applied this fix yet and noticed my right speaker (the louder one) is already having the vibrating effect.

So wouldn't it be normal that the left speaker, the quieter one, would also make the case vibrate around it if you turn up the volume to balance with the other speaker?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] saturn:
hi all

after trying this my speakers is now balanced
