Keep an eye on XBMC developments....Some users have toyed with the idea of getting some Chromecast support and XBMC support PVR servers.

Plex does not support PVR as it is not meant as a Frontend just as a Backend Server. a PVR is a Server itself.

If Live TV is what you want your better off getting a Slingbox but that won't really help you as far as Chromecast is concerned and doubtful they will ever support it in their clients.

But if your looking to cut the chord then I find it highly doubtful that Chromecast will ever get the support it needs unless the networks who offer delayed full episodes bake CC support into their official apps.

I doubt you will ever see live content on a Chromecast that didn't start in a Chrome Browser and sent to chromecast via the Cast a Tab feature.

And Sports will be even harder to find because most Sports content has it's own PPV system that doesn't allow the networks that show those events to stream those games over the Net. They only have broadcast rights not streaming rights.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
I beg to differ. I've already started on this quest and will not finish till I see it complete. I will get my cablecard to stream on ChromeCast. :)
[Google Chromecast] mastermind278:
I figured the simple of method of trying with BubleUPNP and AllCast did not work with my HDHomerunPrime.... Though I am certain someone will figure something better out.

It will definitely work once the new tuners from SiliconDust that have built in transcoding.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Roku just got SlingPlayer... maybe Android/iOS SlingPlayer will get Chromecast support? I wouldn't hold my breath though...
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
The Whitelisting will be the key issue with that I believe...

I'm sure Sling folks could make it happen in a day...But will Google accept it as an acceptable use.

I sure hope most things that go out of their way to support Chromecast will get Whitelist approval until it goes away entirely (which may never happen)
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
You can already use sling player and dish anywhere on Android STBs and Sticks. That would be the equivalent of Roku...

Aereo is committed to Chromecast so hopefully they get there case to go to the supreme court and win (they should) so they can move forward. Only thing holding them back is the stupid broadcasters trying to sue them but they have a very strong case because of the way their system works.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
:Rolls eyes at supreme ct: we all know how they've been ruling lately.
[Google Chromecast] mchinand:
Not exactly sure what it means (IANAL) but yesterday they released a press release regarding the ongoing litigation:

http://blog.aereo.com/2013/12/statement-aereo-ceo-founder-chet-kanojia/

You can also sign up to be notified when they have Chromecast support.
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
Yep, I saw that and Aereo is basically saying. Yes, let's go to the supreme court to get a final ruling on this once and for all. If they win it's pointless for anyone to try to make another lawsuit and if they lose they close the doors. The problem right now is that they are winning these lawsuits but it's costly and time consuming so a supreme court ruling would put an end to the BS...
[Google Chromecast] aiiee:
remote potato does live TV streaming if you want and is free
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Aereo will most likely win in any court...

But that won't be the end of it...

TV Networks will be stupid as they usually are and start pulling their signal from the free airwaves (FCC would love to have their Spectrum back anyway to give to the Cell Companies)

And the Networks won't realize just how DUMB A MOVE it will be until it comes time to negotiate with the Cable Companies and realize that if they don't make a deal NO ONE will see their signal until they settle!

This is why I say the TV industry is going to eat itself right out of business because it's too damn greedy!

Makes 90% of it's revenue from Advertising which is based off how many people see their signal and they spend all that revenue on STOPPING PEOPLE from seeing their signal!

Just stupid!
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
The TV networks can't pull the signal off the air. They are there for people in cases of emergency like hurricane and other national disasters.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Actually thats all automated at the transmitter side these days and the main transmitter array will not go away just their modulator for their channel frequency will go away.

the EBS system works on all frequencies whether there is a channel using it or not. Those TESTS you see are just testing to make sure that when EBS is activated it overrides the current broadcast properly.

FCC really screwed the pooch a few years back and changed all the rules, especially the ones on MUST CARRY....

Networks are not required to broadcast anymore. Cable companies are not required to carry broadcast signals and any network can give up its license and go all cable anytime it wants to now!

Like I said the TV business is a solid wet mess these days...They just never thought about Internet until it ate them up alive!

They would put up a website and they thought they were done.
[Google Chromecast] AllenConder:
It's funny because the big networks can just make their own Aero if they wanted and because it would instantly be in every market they wanted, it would gain traction faster. But, closed minded and stubborn is the current plan of action.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Networks don't need to build anything but a User account server to do what Aero does!

If they just made their App work like the Cable company and Dish apps worked they not only could show you network shows on Demand but add a Live Feed of whatever your local station was broadcasting. No need for antennas at all. Adding DVR capabilities isn't hard at all in fact they could make it work Properly so when a show was delayed in starting you didn't miss the end of it!!!

It comes down to CONTROL and TRACKING...

Thats why they are fighting Aero because they can't count those viewers in their ratings.

What is odd is that the Cable Companies aren't in the fight with the networks to stop Aero. It hurts the Cable companies more than the Networks! It's losing Local TV that is the one drawback to cutting the chord. Just about all the other content on the Networks is available via their apps. Aero seems to be a solution to that for the chord cutters.

The one thing that worries the Networks is that the advertisers refuse to pay for viewers outside of Broadcasting. They even balk at paying for On Demand Viewers which is why many shows On Demand don't have commercials in them. The few that have sponsors willing to pay then STOP you from fast forwarding through them while using On Demand.

They have no control over that with Aero and the network can't just NOT SHOW the advertising there like they do elsewhere in an attempt to get the advertisers to pay for it.

The future of TV is going to be Each Network will have it's own IP Portal to see it's shows (they are almost there) and at some point they will be a subscription service. You will pay what a Cable company pays per subscriber and you will be able to see both Network shows and your Local Channel live.

If they are nice about it and you already pay for it via cable or dish MAYBE they will allow you to see it without FURTHER charge by entering your Cable or Dish account info Similar to what HBOGo does.

That would be in the best interests of the TV Networks but the Cable companies would cry a river.

Customers would however LOVE IT as they would finally get the A la Carte TV subscription they have been clamoring for!

At some point the Cable company will be nothing more than a Last Mile provider which the Networks are skittish about letting happen because they get 10% of their revenue from them currently...

Too bad because if they opened their eyes and adopted the model I said they would get a lot more from Subs than they get now from Cable Companies without threat of their signal ever getting pulled!

Hello xda ! I am a windows 8.1 user and as many of you know it is impossible for now to use fastboot in windows 8.1 (despite any solutions i have tried in various sites, usb drivers etc)

So i thought of installing Ubuntu in a partitin to use fastboot there but i really do not want to have a dual boot system. So i thought could it be possible to mount a usb with ubuntu liveCD without installing and use fastboot from there? (the tool for creating a usb for ubuntu had the choice to reserve some extra space for saving stuff)

Has anyone tried this or have any other solution? (a friend suggested using virtual machine)

I am using Gentoo Linux on my laptop as my only OS.

You don't have to install Ubuntu.

Run it live from usb and with unetbootin create bootable usb and preserve some space on usb e.g. 2 GB for applications, or they will eat your RAM and freeze system when full.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
That should work great, just try it, but you need some space for applications :)

Another great method would be Wubi! It installs Ubuntu with a .exe from windows with some GB free space and you can remove it and all data with one click. Maybe that's a good try too ;)

I received an extra battery for my Qtek 9000 from my friends for my birthday. They know that I love my precious, so they couldn't have given a better present. :) But I have a few questions:

- Is there any way I can charge it without putting the battery in the Qtek? Is there some sort of connector/kit which charges the battery alone.

- What is the best way to switch the batteries? Put the Qtek in flight mode and in standby and then remove the battery? Or might this corrupt/damage some things? :? Weird that the Qtek can't be turned off completely without third party applications.

And one last thing, I tried the latest Resco Explorer v5.35 for a few minutes before I hard resetted. But I got the impression it was slowing my Qtek down? Is it allready fully WM5 compatible? I didn't try the Today Plugin, because I know in the past it caused some problems, but are those issues solved in the latest version?

As Far as I know there is no such a gear that would enable you plunging your extra batt in to charge it.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gosa:
Sorry for bringing up something that might already have been covered, but there's one thing that I haven't understood completely.

There's quite a lot of talk about the camera not really performing that well, but looking into the matter I also read that this might be more software related than a hardware problem. (Another app might do the trick?)

The reason for asking is that I am thinking about maybe replacing my Samsung Galaxy S3 with the 16GB version of the Moto G, but I'm a bit hesitant because of the camera - especially since the one in the S3 is quite good.

I don't really care that much for MP's - they never really tell the full story - but if the quality between my current S3 and the Moto G differs to much...

Any input?

Thanks in advance,

/gosa
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
It'll be more the sensor that software...

Anothe camera app wouldnt make a massive difference to quality of the photo tbh.

Its just one of the tradeoffs for a cheaper phone unfortunately.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
The sensor is not that bad.

I compared MotoG to S3 here (left MotoG, middle RARZi, right S3):

and here is a comparison from stock camera to Snap Camera from Playstore, watch the details!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
Like I said a different app wouldnt make a huge difference.

And to me it doesnt have much of an effect from your photos imo.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psychoferno:
I had an LG P920 and have used the Snap Camera with a significant improvement in the quality of the photos. In Moto G use the default camera app just for movies slow. For photos I use Snap Camera and I am pleased with the results.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyfritz:
The photos he displayed to show the difference when using stock and snapchat show a vast improvement in my opinion.

Look at the post-it note text for the biggest difference.

Obviously software can only go so far, but the stock camera app I feel is clearly doing something wrong with how it sharpens/smooths the image. I'm guessing their sharpening algorithm is assuming a much bigger resolution and using too large of a kernel size for us. So it ends up looking blurry because the blurring becomes exaggerated. Regardless, using a different camera app will help out with these things. That is, assuming they aren't doing these corrections somewhere in the kernel before it even reaches user-land.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
100% not.

I decompiled the stock camera app and switched off the Noise Reduction just to see how the sensor sees the image, look here:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/motorol...n-zur-kamera-bildqualitaet-5.html#post6803183

The stock app softens the image massively and then set a bad compression level. Look at the pattern at the Gauloise package from my other post and see how the stock app filters out all small lines.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King p1n:
So its the app compressing them?

Im not too knowledgable on this stuff.

Could you not 'decompile' the stock and change the compression softening settings or something? If its the app

Guys,

Thank you all for your inputs, it's made for some interesting reading. Especially those example pics that shaftenberg posted gave quite a bit of info.

Yesterday I ordered the 8GB version for my wife to replace my old water damaged Desire that - after over a year of running "post-swim" without any kind of problems - is dying on her... I'm confident that the change Desire - Moto G will make a huge difference in image quality for her.

I think now the plan is to compare her Moto G with my S3 for some time and then - if I feel ok with the image quality - go for the 16 GB version.

Some people might think it's a bit strange to swap out the S3 for a Moto G, but the benefits of getting something more updated with regards to OS (and more open if you compare with Samsung and Exynos) and such... the only thing that worries me is image quality.

The one thing I've found a huge benefit of the Moto g over the n4 and s3 is that its made for one hand. I often find with phones now days I end up when sitting down using them I use my thumb and for finger to support the phone and only half wrap my hand round it to get full use of the screen. There are no such issues with this phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CADude:
This phone's camera is clearly not tuned well. The noise reduction is wayyyyy too high and the white balance is off.

The Moto X had similar issues and it was mostly fixed with an update. The same will probably happen with this phone, likely bundled with the Kitkat update.

ie.. bluetooth earphones, keyboard, mouse , tethering might be handy at some point.. how many pairings at one time is the max?

so i would like to know what the most stable and feature rich rom is usable..

it seems that "Jcsullins Full CM10.1 Bluetooth Build [20131210] based on Milaqs Nightly builds" would be best for me.

any opinions/ user experience/ advise, etc would be greatly appreciated.
