[Galaxy S I9000 General] johnsv:
Curiously every episode of a tv show by ctu displays no video, just sound. Everything else plays just fine. Anyone else noticed that?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hardspartan360:
Hi John i noticed the same as you with ctu videos.No video,only sound.I tried stock video player and mvideoplayer with the same result.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadowkillaz:
Mkv 720p movie playing flawless on mine~
[Galaxy S I9000 General] johnsv:
Hi. I also used other players. Some, like rockplayer play the ctu videos but with such a low framerate as to be unwatchable. Maybe it's a codecs problem? Has anyone found a video player capable of playing everything?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dipac:
Flawless on mine too
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gadjet0:
Mine plays 720 MKV file withaudio only and Rockplayer plays file with video but some smearing and audio out of sync.

The Samsung sample files that are avi 720 not MKV play really good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] johnsv:
Have you tried ctu tv shows?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mazurson:
Ctu releases are definately not working. But Dimension releases do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] japanfred:
Some will be DD, MP3, AAC, etc, it'll all depend on the codec, check it with TSMuxeR, it'll tell you what format it's in.

Also, my MKVs have all played fine, v good quality, audio is fantastic too. Even though the screen isn't a 720 screen, thus kinda pointless, it looks great. Damn sight easier than re-encoding them for the correct resolution at least :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Gotta disagree on the "pointless" comment. You point out a major plus, re-encoding. Other purpose, video-output, I want to be able to serve my 720P content to computers and TVs, I would suffer a worse resolution or have to keep two files for each movie/video I *might* want to serve. 720P playback is a near God-send (IMHO).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Volcacius:
The problem is with videos like ctu releases with 448 kbps audio. I've already sent an email to samsung to report the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hardspartan360:
The thing it's that this ctu videos worked flawless on Samsung Wave.I hope this will be fixed in future firmwares.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kil:
Nice, don't know about you guys, but i flashed JM2, and CTU releases and évery other release that didn't work before is working flawlessly now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk_iceman:
Sorry for asking.. But what is CTS. and is mvk fils running perfect?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kil:
CTS? Or CTU?

CTU is the release..

Most of the time, if you download 720 series, you see this in the filename:

720p.HDTV.x264-CTU ....

Yes, on my previous firmware (jf3) i only got sound, or IF it played, it played sluggish.

Now everything runs smooth!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azreil24:
Does anyone have problem with the sound? It plays, but after some time the sound gets out of sync.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EddiJoJo:
Same.

I have been throwing like 30 different mkv containers at it now, and everything has had its sound and video working flawlessly! I am amazed :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jjwa:
I am happy with the phone's 720p MKV report, and the ctu releases being fixed for them, is a large reason for me to install the leaked firmware versions soon :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] An1mA:
Though the build in subs at the mkv header does not work, but ey MKV works on the GS ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
I am surprised to read this thread about non requirement of re-encoding to play 720p given the SGS screen res. Someone here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7458822#post7458822 listed procedure to convert videos for SGS and I actually tried to convert a 2.6 GB mp4 (AVATAR) file using handbrake following a guide by someone in the forum to convert videos to play in the SGS. It produced a 2.1 GB mp4 but SGS will not play it just skips over to the next video file. The thread also mentioned that file size above 2 GB is not good for SGS. Is it so?

I even tried to convert the video using Kies but the video quality is so crap, can't believe how samsung can provide such a software where it converts all movie frames not above 300 pixels whereas SGS is having 800!!?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dipac:
Not sure what you're talking about sany but i haven't had any issues with any files that i've thrown at the sgs yet. Granted they have mostly been 720p mkv files. I have found that it doesn't support dts audio though. so mkv extract, dts2ac3 and mkv merge have been very useful. :)

In terms of file size, i have played movies of close to 4GB (limit of FAT32) without any issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
Succeeded finally! going by dipac's hint above I searched for a fix that just re-encodes only the audio track of my mkv. As these mkv play well on my media players and on my computers. It played well on my SGS smoothly but no audio, now I used Popcorn mkv converter http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PopCorn_MKV_AudioConverter, it was so simple, I don't have to do extract audio - reencode - repatch manually all was taken care of the software like a breeze, great work by the developer and he is worth to be appreciated with some gift as he saved me now. The fix was so easy it just took some 5 + mins for a movie and around less than a minute for my song video. Now it plays in my SGS. Remember it only supports mkv files. Audio codec that was not supported by SGS was VORBIS in those files.

My only problem is to reencode my mp4 avatar which is great quality but audio missing in SGS, anyone suggest how I can do this easily like the above.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sysiphus1981:
Search for super, it can convert everything, very useful and free.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Hi All,

I viewed the video posted by the Unrevoeked team a little while back about their EVO 4G root and it definitely caught my attention.

http://grack.com/blog/2010/05/23/root-on-an-htc-evo-4g/comment-page-1/#comment-8123

I just noticed today they posted an update on the thread and a link to:

http://unrevoked.com/

If you follow the site they let you download unrevoked.apk

If this APK running in some way means we can root. Well It installs successfully and when you actually run it it says "done." So I believe it does what it is suppose to do on the Eris, I just dont know what steps to take from their.

I have tried installed 2 different superuser apks and neither seems to work. Not sure if I should be doing something else.

PS I am using unrooted OTA
[Droid Eris Android Development] sunder74:
well just plug in to your pc and go to your adb command window and enter adb remount

adb shell

if you get a # you have root...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonathanphx1:
By meaning neither one of them "work" you mean when you press on the app and all you see is a black screen thats all it will do until a program that requires root requires permission to do whatever the app was designed to do. Ohh usb debugging in setting->applications->Development-> USB debugging should be checked.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Hey,

I tested out ADB its not working and by not working I mean neither prompt for superuser permission.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TopazAaron:
doesnt work
[Droid Eris Android Development] khol91:
It doesn't work sadly. The Dev's blog is shadowmite. com/blog/ (without the space) if you are looking for any followups though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ihtfp69:
It looks like all it does is try and replace/write /system/bin/su but I can't entirely tell. This app is supposed to run something on boot so you may want to try rebooting. Also, it creates a log: /data/DxDrm/unrevoked.log
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cipherfx:
Does anyone know if there is any software out there

that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.

There is a great software package out there made by

http://www.soti.net/

but they do not have software available for Android.

This would be for use with the new evo

Any ideas?

Thansk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unCoRrUpTeD:
Picme in market.

You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app

I'm currently working on data access and full phone control. It's kinda hard to get everything working together.

Have you heard of this product?

http://airwatchstore.com/

I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.

Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?

Thanks

*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unCoRrUpTeD:
I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.

When I dial out and hit talk in the speaker there is a noise right before it starts ringing, does it do this for anyone else, is this just turning the speaker on. I have never noticed before, if this is common it could be i never paid attention to it before, thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Is anyone else experiencing major battery drain issues with the new Juice Defender? The Market comments agree. Does anyone have an older APK?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pakraider:
I had to uninstall it with the latest update.. it kept doing some 'cycling airplane mode' and left me without usable signal (couldn't even make a phone call!)

Weird stuff, I tried reinstalling but it didn't help, so it had to go. Hope they fix it; I'm chalking it up to an incompatibility with FRF72.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarttyx:
Alright so last night i ran the DCupdater and saw the damagecontrol v3.1.2 update. So i downloaded it and tried running that. Thats when my evo started freaking out and the sd card kept getting disconnected. After all that nonsense it got installed. But then as my phone restarted it was in for the loop of watching the HTC EVO 4G logo. Thats when i tried going to one of my backups and that seemed to work. So then after that i when back to damagecontrol v3. But that messed everything up even more because now im stuck on v3 without sd card. When i try going into the bootloader it wont let me. When i hook up the phone to my pc via usb it wont let me see the sd card contents. I tried doing the:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

but that had no effect and the cmd wouldnt even recognize the command

what do i do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mongoose8p:
before you enter those commands you have to hold power and volume down and go into fastboot on the phone - after that connect it to the computer

click start - run - CMD

After that

type cd "location of your android sdk tools folder" - OR cd "drag the folder of your tools folder into the prompt"

THAN

type the commands -

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarttyx:
where do i find that folder... im sorry i dont really know much of this
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincrunch:
i'm assuming you are using windows. it's the location of your \android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder from when you installed the android sdk in order to root in the first place. it is also the location of adb. if need be, do a search for adb.exe and it should point you directly to the location of everything you need.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarttyx:
It keeps saying "the system cannot find the path specified". I dont even know what to do. This sucks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiL3nTKiLL:
it might be under a different path, where did u install ur android sdk?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarttyx:
i don't really remember. i found it though searching for adb and i guess i have 2 folders of it... zipped and unzipped... but i tried putting both path names in there and that went nowhere
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomeindeed:
When you search for adb or your android sdk tools folder, go into that folder and hit Shift+right click and "open command window here" then use your commands.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarttyx:
that option does not pop up.. im running xp if that helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarttyx:
im still having trouble figuring out what to do.:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:
copy the path of the folder with adb.exe in it - start - run cmd - command "cd path of adb folder" - then follow the instructions above

No way to solve your problem.

Perhaps some app is making conflict, try uninstalling any new app you placed into device when you started to have that prob.

Another way is to hard reset

http://gizmodo.com/5569265/slingpla...eed&utm_campaign=Feed:+gizmodo/full+(Gizmodo)

It will be the highest priced app in the market, unless there is something higher than 30$..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] timmins:
Yeah, which is getting out of hand (at least, for me). I've had my Slingbox for several years and I've switched mobile platforms during that time. No discount and my licenses go to waste. I'm guessing I'm up to at least $100 in just Slingbox player (WinMo, iPhone, etc.).

It wouldn't bother me, since I do use the app, but I'm guessing they're about to milk me another time when they launch the iPad app. There's no sign they will opt for universal app. Second, their follow up support sucks. They're lucky they have such a useful product because their player development cycle (waaay too long), licensing scheme ("buy the hardware and never pay" except for our software) and support isn't winning a single award.

edit: OH, and another thing... their ridiculous ability to charge $30 for software that they aren't willing to state whether it will work with my Slingbox AV. I get to roll the dice and maybe one day it will go dark.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Big_O:
Been waiting for this app also. Besides the $30 cost there will be nothing better for live streaming from your tv. Had it for windows mobile and iphone. Watched directv all over town. This is the best $30 you can spend. Sucked when they shutdown the sling community forums and opened up the new "staff driven" support forums. Sling community was great and helped a lot of people.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jdscully:
I wonder if you would be able to transfer the iphone to ipad? I am sure this won't work to transfer to android though.

http://support.slingbox.com/get/KB-1000194.html

At least its just a one time charge, not sure what the other companies (not t-mobile) charge to have the TV type services.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] timmins:
I'm digging into their forum/answers site and it looks like my old, old Windows Mobile license can transfer so long as the Android player is a trial version that accepts licenses. The iPhone app is a different beast than their usual software since Apple has complete control over the distribution of the app. I guess I learned tonight that it's quite possible to transfer from WinMo to Blackberry to Symbian. Your license is only active on one install.

I'm crossing my fingers they took this into consideration.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Blueman101:
why on earth are they charging so damn much of this thing? Really, its just a player, thats a third of what I payed for the slingbox itself. But if this same app works on google tv, I might have a purpose for this app.

"When in your mobile phone provider's area of 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi coverage and connected to a Slingbox® SOLO, PRO or PRO-HD, SlingPlayer Mobile makes it simple to watch and control your living room television at any time from any location."

no dice on my slingbox tuner then i guess
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] yayramen:
What IS slingplayer?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jdscully:
Working on my Slingbox AV but it says "some streams will not work". No clue why "some" wouldn't and others would.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Blueman101:
more then likely the older models work perfectly well, but they can sell the solo and pro's for a lot more then a tuner or an AV. It probably all about money. Their site says "tuner and AV is not supported. It is highly recommended to get the newer slingboxs" This is what it said for the iphone moblie app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teddy_ballgame3:
hmmm....i guess its about time to finally purchase a slingbox.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
not showing up in the market for me -running frf50

edit; now it is using THIS
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrandonG777:
I have 3 slingboxes at work, an original, pro (i think next model after the original) and a new HD one. Only the HD one works. The iphone version supports all three. The prices on these players is wacked. I don't mind paying but jeez. Buy a $30 app just to find out I need to buy like $600 worth of new boxes. Good looking out Google with the 24 hour refund period.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wesbalmer:
Google it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
I also think that having to buy the app at full price if you already are a slingbox owner is ridiculous!!! At least give current owners a discount or something!! And it's not like the app is cheap, $30 is type expensive just for the app...no??

Can someone please post the Slingbox.APK if it's ok/allowed or send it to me via PM? so we can see if our current licenses would work??? I'd greatly appreciate it as I'm many others would as well!!! :D

Am I the only one who cant see the app in the market?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] reycat:
If you can't see the app in the market:

- If you are not running Froyo, it may be because it's not available in your country. Download and install Market Enabler or MarketAccess and change it :)

- If you are running Froyo (like me), you need to change your build.prop file. Follow the instructions already posted in this thread (I did) and you are good to go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] walie:
You do know you can uninstall android apps and get a refund within 24 hours of purchasing it right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
They don´t offer a trial version that expires?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] y2whisper:
they only did that with windows mobile (maybe blackberry as i never had one)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jdscully:
I just don't get what the real difference between the AV and Solo is and that is why I have never upgraded. I don't see any additional functions or performance, even most the reviews say "No need to upgrade if you already own an AV". I do fear at some point they will make the software not function on the AV, even if there is no real compelling reason it shouldn't.

So far its working great, watched some of the World Cup this morning on 3G. It's taking a little time to get use to the interface and I REALLY wish you could add favorites and a page down key when scrolling through the guide (its the DVR guide, there is no interface to an online guide like with the PC based version of the slingplayer).

I guess in a few weeks I will have a better idea of how I feel about the player overall, I think right now the excitement after waiting for this for so long may cloud my judgement.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Big_O:
There's basically 2 models. High Definition and Standard Definition. Look at the input and output options. Best buy sells a standard definition model fro $179.00. This is the ONLY real-time (Directv, Dish Network, Cable TV etc) streaming app on the market that works flawless. There's nothing better. Hava is unsupported on linux and Orb, well Orb is Orb :p.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Blueman101:
The solo supports 1080i with component cables, but if you are just using standard def there is no reason to upgrade, that is why I'm still using a slingbox tuner.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] n_i_x:
The solo will still only stream at 320x480 or whatever they consider SD. The only benefit is that you have more pixels to work with when downsampling for streaming. The HD-PRO will stream at 1080i they say but if you are mostly streaming to your phone that's a bit overkill and I am not sure you will see the increase in quality unless you are on WiFi.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Working great with my good 'ol Slingbox AV ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
when you buy the app from the market place how exactly do you pay for it?? does it get billed to your phone bill???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Last I checked, you can set up a Google Checkout account or I think it gives the option to add to my T-Mobile bill.
