Will give a try with ND Player. Is quality great even with .mkv files?

Do you chose HW or SW decoder? Do you have any additional codecs?

Connection between router, Medialink and HOX must be good, they are all together in radius 1 meter. But I think that the problem is not in router because on it says on HOX that the SSID is Medialink and not my router...
[HTC One X] myself11:
I've tried wifi and ad-hoc, but still I can only get a good image with stock player. Other players or xbmc suffer from low quality.

Stock player through media link consumes really low energy, which is a great advantage, but subtitles have a 1 hour delay. I can't understand why, tried to compensate that, but still can't synchronize the subtitles properly.
[HTC One X] maxorzoom3:
thanks very nice :D

[HTC One X] myself11:
Yes, but from what I've tested, it still uses HTC stock player, which is a pain in the neck regarding subtitles, not even files that work on Apple TV will display subtitles on Media Link.

Unable to see Media Link network

Hello,

I've some trouble trying to connect my HTC one to our Media Link HD.

Works perfectly with Marie's HTC one.

I'm able to see Media Link wifi network with laptop, even to access to the Media Link web page (192.168.3.1)

But, on my HTC one, I don't see the Media Link network in Parameters/Wifi. Tried scan and manual adding, without success.

Even Wifi Analyzer don't "see" this network.

Any idea ?

Thanking you in advance !
[HTC One X] matthew33:
I've owned the Media Link HD for about a month now and have to say I give it 10/10 - LOVE IT!:good::good:

Netflix blank screen with Htc media link

Having a problem with Netflix & HTC media link not working properly, the problem it works well until the movie that is chosen starts playing & the screen goes blank you can hear the movie but no picture. Has anyone heard of this issue?
[HTC One X] Andy:
It worked fine on mine the last time I tried. Although Netflix has been updated recently so it may not work now.
[HTC One X] pinoy85:
Hi i have a question. I have htc one m8. When Im using htc media link to play video on my tv is always used de mirror mode. My question is how can i choose to play videos in dmr mode? I tried everything i cant figure it out. Can u help me? Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
I had the same issue. Then it "magically" started working. Since then has worked a treat.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
It is using compression for the transmission. For example when playing 1st person games and you pan around a room, you can see the screen version is absolutely sharp and clear, but the TV version shows obvious signs of compression. After the image becomes static, the resolution improves.

I have not experienced any real issues with massive buffering, or lag. However there is a persistent lag of about 0.2 of a second which could affect some games players.

I also have the issue where if you play music, and then hit home, the music stops a couple of seconds later. You are supposed to be able to play music and videos on the TV, while using the phone for other things. I cannot get that to work.
[HTC One X] Rahulg247:
So just to clarify, am I correct in saying that if a wi-fi network isn't available then the phone can't communicate directly with the HTC Media Link HD?

In other words you need to have a wi-fi network available that you know the password for whenever you want to use this?
[HTC One X] azazin:
That's exactly it, for some reason the Media Link HD itself has it's own WiFi network but you can't connect to it, you must connect to a home/internet WiFi connection to mirror images or do anything.
[HTC One X] Rahulg247:
Oh so that is quite a large aspect where the media link device falls short as you may not always have a wifi network to connect to.

Another question, if the phone is connected to HDMI through a wired MHL connection, can it do everything it can do when connected via media link, i.e. mirroring?
[HTC One X] azazin:
Indeed D:, I would assume so, I know for a fact it can mirror via wired MHL with better quality than the Media Link HD but not sure about the other features such as playing a video whlist going on the internet, because I think the Media Link HD itself handles these things (it temporarily stores things)
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Been playing with mine today and it doesnt like MX player at all...bloop! What is the stock app for playing movies? How do I get movies to play on the Tv and then browse the phone etc? "Watch" is only interested in paid content!
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Moboplayer worked fine for me :) MX didn't though
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Does it play it on both phone & TV or just the TV?
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Just TV
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
lol I would check but I'm not at home...not being lazy :D
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
But i am pretty sure you can browse web at the same time, just press home button that might work
[HTC One X] AndyG1985:
You can use a hot-spot from another device or friends phone if you're not at home or somewhere with Wi-fi connection. Still not ideal but a solution for now.
[HTC One X] Trev186:
Will this work with a non htc phone ?

I cant give up an sd card....
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
It won't work with ANY phone without the feature to connect with Media link :)

Ok so I tried using Mobo Player and I get a black screen on my device and the video on the TV but if I navigate away from MoboPlayer it stops playback!

I also get some flickering lines on the TV no matter what video I play. I tried the stock app which allows me to stream to the TV whilst navigating the device but it plays back my 720p video recordings in fast forward...

Not impressed!
[HTC One X] coproma:
Same problems here. I'm not sure if it's because its too far away from my dual band router but it won't even play videos smoothly that were shot with my one x, and says the ones shot with my desire are in an unsupported format.

the device does set up easily and will auto configure to your home WiFi. if no WiFi is available it creates is own network. I also tried this by factory resetting the media link and turning my router off, however I'm still unable to watch content recorded on phone and there's no way I could play any kind of game let alone anything like riptide.

I'm just glad it was free with my phone, I'd be gutted if I had paid for it.

if anyone's got any ideas on how to make it work properly let me know but I think I've done everything possible.

first post so hello by the way.
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Strange. I watched the last exorcism last night on mobo player and it stuttered once then was fine
[HTC One X] coproma:
Just tried something else. using WiFi analyser I've connected my phone to my 5ghz channel and I'm able to play games but the video issues remain. Also the image quality of the games is quite poor. It's probably massively truncated to reduce lag but overall I'm very unimpressed with the device so far. Fingers crossed for a decent update!

dice player

Can someone please try Media Link with DICE Player and some full HD video?
[HTC One X] Trev186:
Which is basically an app right ? So in theory someone posts the .apk on the web and if we can install it on our phones we can connect
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
I guess. unless its all about hardware like a special chip but I doubt it. but yeah its possible I think :S
[HTC One X] VTEChump:
Unfortunate that it requires a wifi network. I thought it could use peer to peer if no network was available (I.e. wifi direct). This would be very handy in the car and hotels when traveling.
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
I know, couldn't agree more, but let's not get too picky it still is a great product :)
[HTC One X] VTEChump:
Im confused why it has the ability to create its own network, seems as if you cannot use it anyway?
[HTC One X] Trev186:
Any of you guys with an alternative android phone or tablet willing to try it out ? All u have to do is make a titanium backup on your htc phone and then restore a copy of that backup on your non htc phone and try and connect.

Since it is restricted to wifi only im assuming it is just streaming via wifi so no fancy restrictions

If it works ill buy this thing in a heartbeat :)
[HTC One X] tandfeen:
Im planning to try with my galaxy tab 10.1.

I really want it to work. Will post my results if no-one beats me to it. (My media link hasn't arrived yet)
[HTC One X] shanghei:
Really disappointed about the WIFI thing, would hooking up regular mhl to phone work for mirroring?
[HTC One X] repllccax:
hey guys,

could someone provide us a close-up of the (compressed?) HD video output on your LCDs, please? just to get an impression of how good/bad the quality is.

i'm a bit confused, cuz i didn't suppose a phone is able to compress a fullhd video in real-time... :rolleyes:

if so, maybe the phone automatically reduces/enhances the compression level depending on your wifi quality, AI you know :D just an idea :)

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

of course it would.

a wired connection is always better and faster than a wireless one! ;)
[HTC One X] shanghei:
If using a wired mhl adapter, can you use the feature where you play video and able to use phone at same time?
[HTC One X] repllccax:
guess NO :)

do you need it? just put your game in background and afterwards get it back... ;)
[HTC One X] azazin:
Doesn't work, I tried backing up the Media Link HD application with titanium backup and then transferred and restored it on a Galaxy Nexus, when I restored it not only did the application not show up in the application list but when I tried to open it manually (finding the APK in the root directory) it said htc.wifi.media *or something along those lines* activity not found, it won't start up.
[HTC One X] shanghei:
Yes I need it, everytime I am watching a video I want to do something else at times while still watching it. Or if a call comes in it stops video be nice to have that feature.
[HTC One X] repllccax:
@shanghei

got it. of course it would be pretty cool, but therefore your phone has to setup your tv as an extended desktop - but it won't.. cuz MHL is just mirroring - that's y media link hd, i guess :)
[HTC One X] Trev186:
Sounds like it needs some items from sense architetcure...

I wish samsung would make a similiar accessory

Oh well ....

Hi guys,

is the Medialink HD 720 same as phone.

Would be great IMO if either via MHL or medialink hd that the output could be 1080p.

For people complaining about quality issues have you got multiplexing enabled on your router? I found the quality to improve massively and lag practically disappeared when I enabled it on mine.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
When playing a movie from the Gallery, i can exit from the movie and use the phone as normal leaving the movie playing through Media link, however if using Dice Player to play the movie, exiting from the player stops it playing?.....Thought it was down to sense at first, (as i was always trying it out through Dice), but i'm using LeeDroid 5.0 No Sense and it works ok from gallery.:confused:.
[HTC One X] ambrose7:
This thing any good for playing blueray rips?
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Yes if the format is supported by the One X, which is highly likely to be as the One X handles a lot of formats and decoders preinstalled
[HTC One X] ellokomen:
If HTC comes out with a decent tablet that uses this accessory, I may get one.

Can anybody please confirm me if you can play netflix on you TV while using your phone on other stuffs?
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
Ooh, interesting, i look forward to when people start modding this device to do all sorts. Such as a direct connection (USB/HDMI) from the Media Link box to the phone, then there might be no lag/stutter due to bandwidth at all (?) especially when people really start pushing the boundries... i.e. multi-screen play, or running 2 apps simultaneously, one on the TV screen, and one on the HOX screen or better yet, 2 player gaming with 2 screens - ok, i'm getting carried away now.

Also, my imagination is going wild with collaborating this with a PS3 since i'm into PS3 modding, I can imagine this being a nifty workaround for Cinavia protection.

Still too expensive for me tho :)
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Im having trouble playing videos to it. I can play them on my phone fine with gallery but when I try and play them through the media dock they say unsupported format. Anyone else having this happen to them?
[HTC One X] VTEChump:
Agreed with above poster, this would be great for a tablet. Also, has anyone figured out what the point of it being able to create it's own network is???
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Glad its not only me. I assume being able to create its own network means that if you are somewhere without wifi you can still use it
[HTC One X] jvs60:
I'm pretty sure I read that you can use wifi direct with it.

any progress on using media link hd with other Android Device?

I am reading the spec it says it supports DNLA...

[HTC One X] marctronixx:
when using the default settings and when trying to directly connect to the Media Link unit, what is the default password? ive read its "1234567890". the operator handbook does not mention the ad hoc password.

thank you in advance...
[HTC One X] jadaress1:
Doesn't work, says password is wrong.
[HTC One X] Dunc001:
It's obviously missing some audio codecs - I can stream photos, music, video taken on the phone all without problem from Gallery and 3rd party apps, but when I stream mp4 video (DVD rips) the picture streams fine but no sound at all. Same mp4 format as phone videos so has to be an embedded audio codec issue :( Major bummer as that was the main thing I wanted to use it for! Very cool piece of kit otherwise, love the three finger swipe to connect/disconnect!
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
yes i know. i have the media link but i dont yet have the htc evo 4G LTE. i am trying to test its ad hoc with my evo 3D. it sees the network but i need the password.

so i thought to ask here since clearly some of you cats already have the one x and the media link.

just wanted to know what the default password is...
[HTC One X] kingOttmar:
No MX?

So this doesn't work with the MX-player :-(

This was the only reason I wanted to buy this gadget in the first place...

Are there any alternatives to MX-player (with sub capabilities) that do work?
[HTC One X] KU07BA:
Can you try it with DICE Player? On One X works really great. even with subs, but i still don't have ML so i can't try it... Thanks and sorry for my bad English...
[HTC One X] optiknerv:
Not sure about using it with another android phone but I noticed an extra "play to" item in context menus of my Windows 7 pc. If I expand this then there it is listed. Select it and it plays through the tv.

This xBounds stuff is reeeealy much better then this HTC thing, that only works with HTC phones and with only one at once.

Search for "xbounds" e watch some videos. Is quite amaizing. Can split screen easyly with several phones at the same time.
[HTC One X] jadaress1:
When is it out though?
[HTC One X] marctronixx:

[HTC One X] jason.hamilton:
Hello,

I have the ATT HTC one X and I have the media link. A few issues I have noticed:

A) Plex wont work with this. This is my number one movie streaming app. Im emailing developer now to see what kind of fix we can do with this.

B) Hulu app doesnt work for our phone.

C) Youtube works great, when not streaming HD content. While streaming youtube on HD, it buffers every 2 minutes or so for about 5 seconds. While it may seem trivial, it is annoying. Watching Non HD stuff on a big screen looks pretty bad, so i am kind of disappointed about this. It isnt a bandwidth issue. (if somebody else could test this for me, that would be great)

D) Angry birds played fine =)
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
have you tried directly connecting to the link (Ad hoc) therfore bypassing the wifi network? any different results?

also, are there any stuttering issues if you are multitasking (say, reading email, etc) whilst showing video to the display?
[HTC One X] uktivo:
I've had my media link hd today but I'm having all sorts of issues getting a connection to it. When it does connect. I can't any way of playing a video then moving back to say email with out stopping the video. It just mirrors my phone display. Really disappointed with it so far . I've tried both WiFi and adhoc connection. None seem to work ..
[HTC One X] superamerica:
Hi.

Is it possible to make it work with the HTC Desire HD or Flyer?

I have the Media Link HD a Desire HD and a Flyer. But there are not working now.

Is there a special app on the One X? Then can you post it here?

The old Media Link has a app but it doesnt work too.

On my Desire HD is a Sense 4 custom Rom. I hope i get it working.
[HTC One X] uktivo:
Ok. Looks like I have a faulty media link.

Basically it goes through the pairing process, stops at about two thirds done. The unit reboots. Then sometimes the phone will pair but the majority of time it won't find the media hd. Tried it on 4 different networks now and once in adhoc mode. If it does pair the media plays for less than 30 seconds, then the unit disconnects.
[HTC One X] uktivo:
Is anyone else having issues getting the phone and unit talking and then once they are, keeping them talking? My media hd box keeps losing WiFi connection. The router is 7 foot away, in direct line of sight..

Cam anyone who has a unit just confirm that the pairing process is relatively quick and painless.. do you get any message at the end of pairing to say it was successful?

Thanks, any help most welcome, but I'm assuming my box is broken.. :(
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
what handset are you using? im ASSuming the one X but want to make sure.

have you tried to DIRECTLY connect to the link and bypass your home network?

are you rooted?

are you in the US or abroad? :)
[HTC One X] uktivo:
I'm using a stock one x. I'm based in the UK.

Ice had zero luck getting it to work in a consistent manor.

Reading replies earlier on in the thread, it seems at least one other person had the same issue as me, that being it gets two thirds of the way through setting up then stops.
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
im not clear on one thing,

were you able to directly connect to the link, bypassing your home network?
[HTC One X] uktivo:
Yes but only for about 20 secs. It talks and starts the set up procedure, never does the procedure complete and say it was successfully done. On trying to connect to the now supposedly paired device it is completely hit or miss. Sometimes it connects but for very short period of time, say 1 min, then all connections are lost and you have to go through the pairing process again.
[HTC One X] AndroidInsanity:
Hey guys, after using this great product more than 10 times, I discovered that if you "warm it up" for example watch a short HD video on youtube via the youtube app, then stop it and watch a movie on your One X, it seems to play better, this maybe just a placebo, but every time i do this method, it seems to stutter far less when watching a movie stored on your One X. Try it and get back to me :)

Or it could be because wifi signal is not as strong at times.
[HTC One X] Stanimir Komitov:
Guys, I just received my Media Link HD and what bothers me is the lag/stutter when playing HD video stored on the device. What are the requirements for WiFi network in order to run smoothly without any interruptions? The videos actually stop playing and freeze on the ~30th second of play. No matter Youtube, DivX, HD, etc...Is it time to change my wireless router? Any ideas?

edit: ad-hoc does not bring better results. Movies lag and then just stop. What is the maximum bandwidth that the device supports?
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
question is,

what method are you using to play these files? youtube? dice player? etc etc and so forth..?

how they were encoded and what method of playback will play a factor here.

using ad hoc SHOULD in theory yield at least more CONSISTENT results (since its dedicated) as opposed to sharing a network with other clients.

so post up some more details....
[HTC One X] jadaress1:
How do you use it in adhoc mode? I've tried connecting directly to media link bypassing my own network but it does not work.
[HTC One X] marctronixx:
the link states its SSID for its own network. its at the bottom of the splash screen. sniff out that network on your device and connect to it, just like you would any wifi network. enter the password and then you are connected.
[HTC One X] jadaress1:
Hiya, i already tried it, instead of connecting to my own network i connect to the media links, but it only gets halfway through configuration and then the wifi signal goes off and it gets no further, tried twice now, only works if i connect to my own network, am i doing something wrong?
[HTC One X] professorpoptart:
update to the leaked 1.85 RUU. I had the same issues. I think its really an issue with the wifi radio on the stock one x. Still takes 2-3 minutes for the first connect but once its connected its fine. One thing to note too, I tried this on a 1080i TV and its a no go, you have to have a 1080p TV... just fyi

*This is for the at&t rogers one x, dont know about the tegra 3...
