[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
I'd doubt anyone looking at platform independence would go with HLS, I think it's just too Apple centric. But as you say, Plex already supports it.

I think that the (relatively) new SDK refined MPEG-DASH support so I could see them calling that their new http method.

Remember, the chrome.socket method exists but is not exposed. Without that, no matter how good a programmer you are, your hands may be well tied as to how much of a private transport you can build.

If socket primitives existed a home network could go down to RDP or even UDP and really scream performance compared to anything you could achieve with http.

Anyway, I hear you, there may be something private and newer than MPEG-DASH there - but for all the reasons you note that this is one component of their business model, I can't imagine why they'd go for a higher risk, higher cost solution to do the same thing. Of course, that's just my opinion, worth every penny you paid for it.

Putting everything, or as much as possible, into the config files is simply a best practice.

Make the app data driven and offload maintenance and feature support to the config writer/parser subsystem.

I say "simply a best practice" because it is, but the guys that didn't figure that out couldn't compete with those that did/do.

As for just doing transcoding now, that's simply another best practice.

If they have a new server method and a new config parser, that's plenty to deploy.

Make sure that works, then deploy transmuxing as an incremental refinement. Even if the devs believe it's ready, history has proven what happens if you bite off too much with a release.

Sadly for us, too few devs get that.

I really don't think that a right way to offload more work to flame-free Chromecast will be found. Even if such a thing could exist (which I more than really doubt) I just don't see the incentive for anyone to do it.

Btw - I don't know if you've noticed this but if you go to a site with embedded MP4 videos, vGet will cast that or play it locally to MoboPlayer, MX Player will complain that it's an unknown format.

I agree that MX is a great player and ahead in a lot of areas but I would say that caution is in order predicting anything in this area, again, just imo.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

PS - as I'm sure you know, everyone including Google is chomping at the bit to get H.265 and VP9 happening.

So existing code and methods have to be supportable, maintainable and inexpensive enough - everything today is on its way to becoming a legacy method.

Given the processing requirements for VEHC, I can't see that happening on the existing Chromecast.

And if that's what a Chromecast 2 will support, and I'm betting it will, I can't see estorica being built by anyone at this point for the existing Chromecast.

Even if you're not in the market for 4k video, I can see the attraction of a more condensed network stream to support 1080p.

Personally, I expect that to hit the front burner before other transcoding and closed caption support does. (edit - Wrong! LOL see next post)
[Google Chromecast] bubbleguuum:
BubbleUPnP Server can transcode *any* media that Android BubbleUPnP can access. That applies to local Android media managed by the app, but as well any external media sent from third party apps to BubbleUPnP.

And for the next release of BubbleUPnP / BubbleUPnP Server, there are major improvements, such as: proper subtitle support (and not of the crappy burning subs in video kind, that everyone is doing), seek in transcoded videos, audio and video track selection, and many transcoding fails fixed.

Moreover, BubbleUPnP Server transcodes video and/or audio tracks only if necessary.
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
Way to go! :)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well the Plex folks are supporting Apple so I suspect they need to support all things Apple.

As for what they might dore Transcode vs Player based it will depend on the end results. Many are running Plex on NAS and other low power units where even transmuxing is a Task.

In the end there is only so much you can do on the server side and have to look at the client side for solutions. Thats all I'm getting at. Subtitles being a prime example. Multi Language and Audio track selection being another.

Forgive me if I misrepresented Bubble there. I was under the impression that Bubble required Server (on a PC) to be running in order to transcode. And if you simply streamed from Bubble Android to CCast without that Server it would not transcode. Either that Changed or I was misinformed.

Happy to see you support Client side Subtitle Overlay and Audio Track selection. That is the only proper way to do those operation which is why I don't understand why everyone else seems intent on doing it on the server side. My guess is lack of knowing Android and Mobile Coding on their part.

In conclusion I will say this...

The Dev who makes the best CCast Loadable Player App could make a lot of money licensing that app to other developers to use in their Projects.
[Google Chromecast] bubbleguuum:
Yes the server is required on PC for transcoding. There's no transcoding done at all on Android.

What I was saying is that it can also transcode Android local stored media.

But apperently I misundertood your original statement where you wondered in the app could transcode itself: it can't.

Audio track selection requires at least remuxing in a new container and possily transcoding if the track is not compatible.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not hard since I wasn't very clear LOL

It is transcoding from android but only if you have the server running on PC!

Even in the case of MKV/AAC where Multiple Audio Tracks are embedded?

I understand it for unsupported formats like AC3 and DHT but if there is a stereo AAC and 5.1 AAC you shouldn't have to remux if the Player does client side track selection.

I'm thinking along the lines of what VLC does which granted is far more complex of a player due to the fact it's years in the making and has a full blown PC to power it.

Okay, So I'm fairly new to all this. I've made several (unsuccessful) attempts at rooting my AT&T HOX, but I finally think I know where I went wrong.

In the past, I had tried unlocking the bootloader without having SuperCID access. (So yes, I currently have s-on..) Mainly due to the fact that I didn't know I needed sim access to root.

Because of these past issues, I have done the ATT OTA update.. From what I have read in other posts, correct me if I'm wrong, there is currently no way to gain SuperCID with the 5.18 update..

Other than waiting, is there any way I could go about rooting my phone? Is it possible to reset to factory settings, and go back to Original software?

Please help. Would eventually love to get rid of all the ATT and HTC crap on my phone.. (can't stand sense 5..)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Because you've taken the latest at&t update there is no way at all to get SuperCID so you can unlock your bootloader. You'll have to wait and see whether a dev deems it worth his time to find a crack, but I wouldn't hold your breathe if I was you. Probably should have done your research before taking the update.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DanGeorges:
1. I'm not are of a root for this new firmware (as Timmaaa has stated).

2. I'm not sure why you chose to get the OTA update if you can't stand HTC and Sense. Any time you grab an update from A&T, you're risking not being able to root

3. I recommend you purchase a Google phone and root/mod it as much as you want. No more HTC, No More ATT, No more Sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tsunami560:
Hey Dan,

Thanks for the reply. I got the OTA because I like new. I didn't really think about it when I did it, so yea, it was a dumb mistake on my part.

I only got HTC, because it was my introduction to Android. I now have a rooted N7, and I love it. I would also love to get an N5, however, it's a good chunk of money I don't have currently, which is why I will be rooting my HOX once a root is available.

So, is anyone aware of a way to roll back an OTA update? Or is my best bet waiting for a 5.18 exploit?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Like I said, there is absolutely no way for you to get root unless someone releases an exploit.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If such a thing were possible, than a new exploit would not be necessary, and we would have told you about it already.

You can't "rollback" or revert to previous Android versions unless already rooted, s-off, etc.

My phonefor an with AT&T renews on the 25th of every month. The previous month I used quite a lot of data the month before. I only had 10 megabytes left. Well today my data was supposed to be reset so I listened to Google music on my data. I got a text later saying that I had to reached my data limit and that They added an addition 3gb Of data which expires all the way on March 25 how did this happen?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Thumb rule: When in doubt, or when you have less data and you "feel" you have more or you need more, use *data# to confirm.

Also, data usage takes up to 24 hours to reflect in the system. So when you checked and it showed 10 MB under the limit, it probably still didn't account for data used in the last 24 hours.

Talk to AT&T guys... chances are they would reverse for once as a courtesy.

You can use the app called 3G Watchdog to keep an as you go watch on your data use. I have a lower level data plan and it keeps me within my limit. I will even allow you to set limits at which to shut off data use. I have used it on my SGS3 and my Captivate.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webtroter:
Hi,

I have a Nexus 5, with BeanStalk on it.

When I installed Beanstalk, I got sometimes weird sound, like a modem, in my earphones. I supposed first that it was normal, because it was happening at the same time of a network switch (like losing connection to my WiFi, or 3G connection lost, in the subway). It makes the sound one or two times, then my music continue to play.

The Internet problem appeared at the same time of when the weird sound became longer and very persistent. The only way to stop it was when I used the plane mode to cut my connection.

My phone wasn't able to access the Internet. I call my provider, Vidéotron, and they pushed something on my SIM card. Now, I can only access (through my cellular connection, WiFi is fine) website with HTTPS, not HTTP.

Near the Valentine's Day, I busted my data plan, and I called my provider to extend it. I needed to call two more times to get it activated. May be it's related.

Thanks for the help!

PS: I will provide any additionnal information if asked
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Only accessing HTTPS on my phone connection would not be an option for me but if you are fine with it I guess that is your choice. I would not accept this as a viable option. I doubt it was beanstalk....

It was them. They are coming.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webtroter:
This is not a viable option!

I tested on my stock ROM, and the Internet was OK. This is what made me supposed that it was the ROM
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:

I would post in beanstalk ROM or search in there to see if anyone else had the issue and to make it known. Could've been a fluke, computers are strange sometimes but people make them that way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meanee:
Hello.

So my T-Mobile Note 3 is acting up. The problem is, when WiFi is connected, the cell signal indicator drops to zero, or almost zero. It is more noticeable when I am at home. Not as much as the office. And the impact is, that calls do not come through, and when they do, they sound like a horrible T-Pain autotune song. To make a call, I typically have to disable WiFi, wait for about a minute for better signal. Signal always gets better when WiFi is disabled.

I am on a stock T-Mobile ROM, rooted. WiFi calling enabled but not active.

Any suggestions?

The edit is covered extensively in other threads. Search for "platform.xml", and you'll find it easier than trying to read my explaination.

I was having a problem saving the file after editing.

The edit partially fixes writing to the external SD card on the 4.4 update. Titanium Backup can save to the external card after the fix.

Hello, I've spent hours and hours of trying to fix my HTC One with no progress at all.

Now I've decided to take it to a service center to get it fixed. But! if there will be someone, who could solve my problem, I'm willing to pay maybe up to 30$, cause that's all I've got on my Paypal account.

Phone is in bootloop, cannot access recovery.

So... I can access fastboot, computer is able to recognize it and I can try flashing recovery with it but with no success. Whenever I try to boot to recovery it just shows HTC screen with purple text entering recovery... and then just reboots and keeps bootlooping. I've tried flashing TWRP (various versions), CWM, stock recoveries, none of them work.

So, a person who will solve my trouble will receive money to his/her Paypal account instantly.

Luckily you can get in fastboot!

Get the correct RUU.zip from http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-zip-downloads/

You will need the following one

RUU Zip M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878 Signed

After you got it, just go into fastboot USB.

Be sure to place the RUU.zip in the fastboot folder.

Then use the folllowing commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip filename.zip (replace filename.zip with the zip you got from htc1guru)

fastboot flash zip filename.zip (Yes, again, do not forget!)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Your phone should now be back to normal stock (Android 4.1 that is, but you can get OTA updates to get it back)

Just FYI [MENTION=5744621]Mark_HTCOne[/MENTION] this ruu you recommended is a downgrade in version # and can't be flashed unless OP's phone is s-off which isn't the case as you can see from his ''getvar all'' ;)

S-ON = RUU.zip with same or higher version only + must be signed + bootloader locked or relocked.

S-OFF = downgrade, same or higher version ruu, bootloader unlocked, locked or re-locked.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
I assume you have an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.

Flash stock 4.19.401.8 recovery, then fastboot erase cache and try to enter STOCK recovery. If this is successful perform a wipe data - factory reset within stock recovery and try again to flash custom recovery and if it boots successfully you can flash your favorite Rom.

You can also try the following:

1.Download firmware for 4.19.401.9

2.Rename it to firmware.zip

3.Boot on fastboot and fastboot oem rebootRUU

4.Type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Since its newer firmware than the one you have it should flash successfully and most probably it will erase all of your data. It will also flash stock recovery and hopefully you ll be able to enter recovery then. The only requirement is for the bootloader to be LOCKED/RELOCKED

Keep us informed
