Sure - I went into my ffirewall (Norton 360) and set it to allow the following programs to access the internet: Plex Media Server and Plex Media Server DLNA service (they had been set to Auto by Norton, so I changed it to Allow, but Auto might have worked).

I opened the Plex Server Media Manager, went to Settings, clicked on Advanced Settings, went to the MyPlex tab (I had already created a (free) MyPlex account and signed in) and saw that the server was using port 20790. I went into my router settings and tried to forward that port to my desktop computer's IP address, but the router told me this alreadyt had been done, so I think the Server did it automatically with my router, which must be Upnp (or whatever the acronym is).

Done! I was now able to access the Plex Server with my PC and Tablet Plex clients from work, via the internet. To be honest, it may have worked without me doing anything, as the firewall set itself to Auto on its own and the router forwarded the port on its own, but I went into muck with the settings before I tried to access the Server.

Actually pretty easy as Network settings go.

Handbrake is a great, free transcoder; it even has settings to make your files compatible with different devices. While chromecast isn't default yet, android is, and from what I recall doing an mp4 with H.264 will work just fine for chromecast.

+1 for Xilisoft - excellent program.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Now Now....Yes we should support the developers and coders who make GREAT software which I believe Plex is....

But not everyone has $75 Buck to just spend at will...Especially in this economy! I agree with you we should support those who make great programs. But money is sometimes hard to come by...

THIS! It is the one thing that would complete my media life! But I would like Two way support there. Not only would I want to be able to Stream XBMC to chromecast I would also like XBMC to mimic a Chromecast device so I could stream content TO it like I do on the PC with the stream to XBMC app in Chrome!

There are plenty of trustworthy free apps out there that are Open Source but the rule about getting what you pay for still applies!

It is easy to find a free program that will Encode video into a variety of Formats. What separates them is how good the output looks when all is said and done!

Yes I forgot about Handbrake! It also is great for reducing Filesize for use in encoding content that HAS to be ON UNIT for when there is no Net Access! It is free and I believe it is also Open Source!

If you had issues before it was most likely the Norton that needed the change...If your router supports UPNP then it can automatically set the ports for you. Thats where the Plug and Play comes in! LOL

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

I like the fact it uses my Radeon Cards hardware to help speed the encoding process!

But Handbrake is also a very excellent option that is free!
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
It's actually stated in the Play Store that the Chromecast option will go non-PlexPass later.
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
If $3.99/mth is not a lot of money. The guy probably has a tablet and nice phone too. Heck the Chromecast at $35 is not much more then $3.99/mth over a year. I hear what you are saying but most people like this are just downright cheap...
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
+1 for that...I never looked at the Playstore since I already had the apps installed before CC support came out! LOL

Good news for everyone then!

I bet they had a major run on downloading the Server since they added thc CC support...

If this thread is any indication! LOL

It is if your Unemployed, A Starving Programmer (almost as poor as a starving Musician!), or a young kid and don't have a Credit card to pay month to month or Parents who will pay for a service just so you can watch movies!

Not everyone pays for or buys their own phone either...I have never bought my own phone as my job supplies me with one and many companies now provide workers with Tablets too...

But as WPTSKI pointed out...The Chromecast option will open up soon WITHOUT paying a penny so the point is all MOOT!

All that is required for full FREE support is PATIENCE!

Don't want to wait then time to pay the Piper! LOL
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
I would be surprised if this ever happens as the nature of Plex/Chromecast, and XBMC are total different. XBMC is a standalone media solution and it's not designed to stream to another device or transcode. XBMC would have to do a lot of work to get this working with Chromecast. Just buy an Android stick and run XBMC directly on it or use Plex.
[Google Chromecast] third son:
Yeah I was going to try flashing at least a 4.2 rom and see if that works on my s2. I think I will wait until your experiment has been done.
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
Anyone managed to get the 5.1 passthrough feature working on the Plex app? I understand the Chomecast is capable of handling DTS and AC3 audio but the tracks are still getting down-mixed to stereo even when passthrough is selected in Plex app Settings/Device media profile.

Something though must be happening since, without any boxes checked in the menu, 5.1 files play fine on both device and CC - in other words Plex is transcoding the audio so it will play on android and presenting the same stereo conversion over to the CC. But with passthrough mode selected, as expected, there is no sound on the device but CC still plays in stereo - almost like the Chromecast is doing the conversion but this can't be can it :confused:.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
It's mixing it to PCM, down really downmix.. more of a cross-mix
[Google Chromecast] Restorer:
Yeah, I think it is a good opportunity meantime to subscribe for a few months to get to know what the whole Plex experience is all about. So far, I have to say, I been hugely impressed.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

But it's still just PCM stereo on my amp - are you saying I should be getting 5.1 channels?
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
I got 5.1 channel PCM when I played a blu-ray yesterday. You might want to check the settings on your amp.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yes but then again I have been begging the XBMC devs to add transcoding so I do not need to run a seperate server and my HTPC can serve in that role. It was not their core goal when making XBMC as it was always meant as a FRONTEND not a BACKEND project.

Since it is open source and anyone can write AddOns for it I suspect we will see some hacked way of getting it to stream to CCast even if it means it has to spoof the whitelist into thinking it is something else or wait until the whitelist goes away!

There are quite a few settings in PlexServer relating to Audio...Some don't show unless you select show advanced settings.

Under PlexWeb Players Advanced has checkboxes for allow directplay of AC3 and preferences for prefer AAC. (I would guess AC3 Direct Play should be enabled as it wasn't on mine)

Under PlexMedia Server You can enable Dolby Digital on AppleTV and enable Downmixing of DTS for Medialink. (not sure if either of those apply to CCast.)
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
But you seem to be missing the big picture... XMBC would not only need to implement a transcoder but also create a front end. I'm not saying it won't happen but look how long it took to get some hardware decoding in Android and you are asking to re-architect the software to do something totally different then it currently does. You can ask all you want but that's just not going to make it happen faster...

XBMC and PLEX are simply just different solution for different needs...

Hi all,

Now that my device is past its warranty period, I have decided to upgrade my O2 Mini as I want the blackberry software.

However, I am following the AM's excellent how to PDF but come to a grinding halt with an ntrw error.

C:\>ntrw write new.nb1 i:

Usage: ntrw file drive:

I get this error both when I'm trying to backup my old ROM as well as transferring the new ROM back to my SD card.

Any ideas?

I'm tipping it could be a card reader problem maybe?

Cheers,

Deva
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Could be the wrong version of ntrw. Try one of the other versions cause you're syntax seems correct.

If you're using a laptop cardreader then that can be the reason too, always tricky when it's not working.

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] thedeva:
You were spot on oltp.

I downloaded Ver 2.0 and it worked a treat.

Thanks for your help.

Deva
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] thedeva:
New problem now....

I put the SD card with the BS ROM on it into my mini and put into Boot-loaded mode, but instead of bringing up the SD Download screen, it just goes to the standard 'Serial' Boot load screen.

I can't take a trick.

Again, any ideas?

Thanks,

Deva
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
- uncheck usb in Act.sync on your PC

- connect the magician with usb (screen reads USB now)

- start romupgrade on your pc ....

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] thedeva:
Thanks for your quick response oltp, but Im a little confused.

I've been following AM's PDF guide and it says after I have loaded Big Storage ROM to my SD card, just to put it into my mini and boot it into "Boot-loaded" mode. Is that not right?

Do I need run romupdate.exe instead?

Thanks for your help,

Deva
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Sorry I misread your post: I thought you were still dumping…

I guess you must have formatted your SD somewhere in the process & now have a MBR again on the card. NTRW will write the image after the MBR & your magician can't find it cause the bootloader looks @ the first position, to solve your error you have to:

- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.

- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'

- start romupgrade on your pc

- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief

- now a screen pops up

- type d2s in this screen

- follow progress on pc & magician

- wait till checksum finishes

- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!

- type on commandline: ntrw write [your BS romimage name].nb1 [sd driveletter]:

error at the end is normal

- put the SD in your magician

- now it should read 'press power to flash'

- press the power button

- watch it reaches 100% - checksum will always fail

- reset & hopefully enjoy the new rom

& I hope you've done these steps as well:

- open your dumped rom.nb1 with the hexeditor & replace twice the usual BS byte pattern

or

- open your dumped rom.nb1 & the BIG Storage with the hexeditor and replace the first 416 Bytes of the BS rom with the first 416 bytes of your dumped rom.nb1 & save it to BSrom.nb1

- type on commandline: ntrw write BSrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] thedeva:
Hi oltp,

Yeah, I did reformat in between dumping the ROM from the Magician onto the SD card and dumping the BSrom.nb1 back to the SD card.

I didn't realise that the SD card needs the dumped info from the magician as well as the modified nb1 file.

OK, I will redo the steps and see how I go.

Thanks for your help, really appreciate it mate.

Cheers,

Deva

PS. Yes I did use hex editor to copy the 416b from orig nb1 to BS nb1 file, but the SD card only had the new BSrom.nb1 file on it & nothing else when I put it back into the phone. No wonder nothing happened (d'oh). Thanks for your patience
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] thedeva:
Hi oltp,

I have reviewed ampda's PDF "how to" and it does say to format the SD card before you ntrw write the new nb1 file back onto the SD card. Is this right?

That mean there is only one file on the SD card, the new BSROM.nb1. Is thats all thats needed to flash the ROM?

Sorry to be a pain but I have followed the PDF guide without success.

Thanks,

Deva
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
format

Hi Deva,

The pdf is incorrect @ that point. The technical explanation is this:

Romupgrade dumps your rom right @ the first bit of your SD, destroying the MBR of the card. NTRW reads the whole card with the read & saves an image to your hard-disk. When you format your card a new MBR is created & NTRW will write the new image after the MBR. Without a MBR NTRW will write @ the first position of the card, like romupgrade.

Apperently the bootloader reads the first bytes of an inserted card & as it reads magician it will accept it as an rom-image. If the bootloader finds an MBR it just doesn't give you the 'press power to flash option'.

So dump your rom on your SD & write your BS image without format on the same SD.

BTW I think a format doesn't wipe your card, only the fat. On a hard-disk it works like that anyway.

Regards, M

Ok, I've been getting a lot of requests regarding Keyboard themes...

so I made this thread for any keyboard combination you could possibly ask for. :)

Also [MENTION=2094849]kevinrocksman[/MENTION] is going to make an aroma installer to simplify things for you.

Here is what we have...

You have the choice of the following base colors:

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, Purple and Gray.

They come as a flashable zip for all those colors with white text, or all those colors with same color text.

In addition, I know folks will want to mix and match, therefore I made morphs to add any text color to any of those base colors.

In total, there are 64 possible keyboard theme combinations.

All the files are on the file server in the: Note3 / Mods / Keyboards folder.

Enjoy!

As always, your support is appreciated!!!!

They should work on ANY Touchwiz ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3..!

These are only Tested on Sprint and T-Mo Variants!!!

Please report if this works on other Carrier Models!!! -I can make appropriate threads in those forums if these work.
