howdy all,

i just loaded my gtablet with tnt lite 2.2.1. i love this device. i have a server with a large repository of videos avi, mkv, ect. i stream from the server to my pc's and xboxs. is there any way to play these files on the gtab (streaming from the server)? the server is running server 2008 r2 and i would rather not install anything on the server.

ive tried rockplayer and others with no luck

:confused:
[G Tablet General] copc:
I was able to browse my server with es explorer find a video and play it.
[G Tablet General] bstirling2307:
Es explorer gives a "sorry, not supported media type" or tries to stream and never starts.
[G Tablet General] Lnin0:
Still running stock gtab but one of first things I did was had copy a xvid/avi, jpg and mp3 to an SD card and surprisingly they all worked. The files wouldn't play in stock player but they would using es explorer. Just no controls going that route.

After reading this post I realized es explorer had a LAN option so I went ahead and connected my qnap nas. I tried to browse those same files but from the nas only the mp3 would play. The mp3 played but no controls. The avi gave me same error you got and the jpg said it was loading but just got a blank screen.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
If your server has upnp capability you can use an app called upnplay. That, and Rockplayer works pretty well for now.
[G Tablet General] SpinKix:
Gmote

The free app Gmote works well for me.

Doesn't transcode on the fly though.
[G Tablet General] bstirling2307:
thanks SpinKix

i use gmote on my media center pc but didnt know about the play on android feature.

what i have come too is that until there is better codex support ill have to live with gmote or orb installed on my server.
[G Tablet General] brookfield:
The best results I got is to install ORB on your computer ( goto orb.com) and then setup ORB to point to your media files.

Next install the FLASH plugin for the GTablet. (Search for out this site)

using the GTable web browser, Connect to you computer (Running orb using MyCast.Orb.Com)

(Note you may have to setup Port Forwarding on you home router)

Go to control panel in ORB and set streaming to FLASH and Layout to Home Theater.

You now have a easy to use interface to all your media files (If you have a TV Tuner card, you can stream your tv to your GTablet. Also Pictures and Music
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
upnplayer works fairly well. It plays back standard def MP4's under my PS3MediaPlayer nicely. But other container support is lacking, even standard AVI - but it is an alpha version so it might get better.

No Vorbis support. Boo for that.
[G Tablet General] SpinKix:
Well, it DID work on TNTLite 2.2, but after flashing to VEGAn 3.0, gmote wants to play the video on the server and treats the gTab as a remote.

After trying VEGAn 3.0 I was hooked, so now I'm using Serviio on the server and upnplayer on the gTab.

Still no way to play a transcoding stream live.... frustrating!

Hope gingerbread fixes this so we don't have to wait for honeycomb.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
brookfield,

A great big THANKS!!

I've been trying to figure out how to strange TV to my Gtab. I have both a Slingbox and a HAVA. But Slingplayer has been flaky, and I didn't realize that Orb had a Flash option. Just tried that, streaming to my Gtab using the Orb flash player.

COOL!!!

Thx,

Jim

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404test:
Hey all

I got a bit of a problem. I recently upgraded to 2.29 and rooted again. Now when i launch the settings app after reboot, it works.

But when i close it and try to open it again it just doesnt show and throws me back to my home screen.

Any ideas about what could be the problem?

Using DATA2SD btw, also killing Settings app has no effect + hot reboot has no effect. Only full reboot fixes it temporarly

After a few quick searches I noticed this as an answer to another thread:

"Looks like it has something to do with the Linux version. I use an older version of Ubuntu (8.04) because as what I know Google mentioned that there can be build errors with later versions."

Seems Ubuntu 8.04 with java5 is working pretty good for many people, although as I have not tested or compiled any android source myself I cannot say if it will work or not. Hope it helps you a few steps closer though!

[Desire Android Development] ahanson86:
Thanks both of you for your comments, ive now got what i hope is it successfully building, on 10.04 with sun java sdk , fresh install seems to have cleaned up the mess i had with most likely several different sdks
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
Aye I had issues when coming to 10.04 from 9.10 regarding OpenJDK being pre-installed to some extent & conflicting IcedTea plugins (no idea why those affected it) But purging all traces of both & only leaving sun-java6-jdk worked well for me :)

If you use it as a primary system, you may want to put sun-java6-plugin on too, as thats the mozilla plugin so java apps work on the net.

Hi ahanson,

But when i flash them, the device does not boot at all.

I have even created a otapackage, but flashing it does not help either - the device gets stuck at the htc boot screen.

Since you got it working, can you please tell me what changes did you made to your build to get it working?

[G Tablet General] lamlam01:
I understand that it is normal for Android to run apps in the background. When I first startup my device, I see dozens of apps that are running or have started by themselves.

Could this be causing periodic slowdowns on the device after prolonged use? Is anyone else using any utils/apps to prevent apps from running in the background or tasks managers that they recommend?

I have also read that w/ Android v2.2 (Froyo) you don't need task managers because the OS manages apps on its own, but the discussions are not definitive.
[G Tablet General] xenx:
Average users - task killers are bad.

Experienced - task killers might be ok.

Android can manage itself just fine. There's no reason to use a task killer to manage ram. The only reason you should ever need a task killer is if a particular program is causing an issue. In those cases, a reboot would resolve just as easily. At that point, it becomes an issue of comfort and experience.

Thats an opinion based question. I think CM is best, but it doesnt have working WiMax or HDMI. You're gonna want a sense based rom, as those do have working 4g/HDMI. Try some of the more popular ones until you find one that you like.

This kinda question is better asked in Q/A or General.

How do I root?

I just got the phone yesterday from the sprint store and was wondering if I could root it. It just came with 2.2 and when I saw this, it said new evos won't work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787304

Can someone tell me where I can root it and give me a step by step guide?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
gokuman,

You probably won't get many replies to this thread, as your questions are very open ended, and also this probably isn't the best place to ask. You really need to post these kind of questions in the Evo Q&A forum. With that said, since you're new, I'll try to help.

First off, you need to root your device. There are multiple posts on this topic depending on what version of the Evo you have - the new ones use a different method than the older ones.

As far as ROM's go, there are two flavors - AOSP and Sense. AOSP is the original "Android as Google intended it" with no skins, tweaks, etc. It's very fast, very stable and completely open-source (if you've ever used or seen a Nexus One, this runs stock AOSP android). The downside is that AOSP (at this time) does not support 4G, so if you live in a 4G area, bear this in mind.

Of the AOSP ROMs there are two that stand out: Cyanogen Mod 6.1 (known as CM 6.1) and MIUI. Both are excellent, although I prefer CM 6.1.

Sense ROM's are very similar to to the software that came on your phone. There are multiple options available, although my two personal favorites are Azrael X 2.1 and Sprint Lovers ROM. No disrespect to anyone else, but these are the ones that have worked best for me... With that said, do your research and try a few to make your own conclusions. Most importantly, once you've done some experimenting, post back and let us know your findings.

Thanks,

Matt_TX

Turn your phone off. Then turn back on holding pwr+vol down. Hboot will be listed.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kraenesk:
Definately in the wrong section, but the best answer is there is no best Rom.

There are best roms for different people. Roms are like cars, there is a different rom for each person. And even then who two people set up the same rom will be so different it's not even funny, because within each rom are options, just like in a car.

I've used Cyanogen and Myn's mainly myself. No suprise, those are both also the most visited and posted in threads int he development section. They are kind of like the Chevy and Ford of the Roms.

Cyanogen is AOSP without sense, and no working 4g/hdmi as stated.

Myn's is a heavily themed sense based rom with everything working, it's very visually appealing, and yet smooth and snappy.

The third Rom I'd quickly mention would be MIUI, if you wanted an Iphone but cant have one, that rom is for you, it is probably the most dev intensive rom of all. It's made by Chinese devs, but the shear amount of detail put into it is breathtaking, they have re organized all the menus and visuals of the rom, but the crazy thing is, they didn't stop there, if you load a new app on it from the market, it actually will change the menus within that app to their system(one that looks very much like an Iphone) I recommend everyone try that rom at least once, It wasn't for me, but it doesn't mean that the attention to detail, and extensiveness of the UI they put in it did not impress me to no ends.

The amount of good roms out there is crazy though, Azrael, Sprint Lovers, Fresh, Evio, Calkulin's... the list just goes on and on, so try a bunch and find one you like, just like buying a car.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fadakar:
I was an avid CM fan when I had my first EVO, then it got stolen, and by the time I had bought another one, MIUI came out. So I figured I'd try it since it's still AOSP and I've been using it ever since. It just streamlines things so well for you, and running off of their stock kernel it's the snappiest ROM I've ever used.

Ok here goes..

I've been using HTC devices since the days of the SPV E100.

Every phone I've had has been Windows mobile based.

Now I am thinking about getting WM7 phone but the hardware is just not quite right.

I managed to get a hold and play with a demo Mozart.

At the moment The mozart is fave because it fits snug in my palm and the camera is 8MP. But that is all. There are some bits I want before jumping in.

Processor ...Check

8 mp Camera ... check

Wifi N.. Check

Micro sd.....Errr if you feel like voiding your warranty

Hdmi out... Nope

FM in/out... Nope

OK now for question time.

Has anyone got a conversion chart to show how much space 1 min/ 5 min /10 mins of 720 video takes up on a Mozart?

Does WM7 switch to a removable storage mode like the old windows?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
I can only answer the last question .

wp7 sees all the storage as one big drive (rom+sd) so lets say "512 MB rom + 16GB sd = 16.5GB of storage (we don't know where it is stored )

and remember ! , you can not swap the sd card and use the DATA on it after swapping.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
fm in/out? do you mean an fm receiver? if so, it has one. but no, it cannot act as an fm transmitter.
[Windows Phone 7 General] djfuego:
Cheers

So it does have an FM radio receiver that works on the phone?

I'm looking for wm7 phone with similar features as My old Touch Diamond.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Yes it has fm radio
[Windows Phone 7 General] Calene:
Yes it does but for some reason it only works with uneven frequencies. 105,1 105,3 105,5 etc. Unless I'm missing something obvious.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i got it working for frequency 103.2, so i don't think there is an issue with it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Calene:
Yeah it was something obvious. I noticed that there was an option to change from North America to World in settings and now I can access a lot more radio channels.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hungry81:
This seems counter intuitive. Is there any legitimate reason for this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nehvada:
ms simply does not allow swapping memory cards for "security reasons" and would like you to use their cloud. which provides you with 25GB(?) of additional storage. for that matter there is simply no need for more storage unless you want to beat the upcoming iPhone 5 with 64GB build in. who needs that?

the internal storag card is somehow "glued" to the device. so even if you find it its just not worth the hassle. for a big upgrade it might be worth to void the warranty, but not for a daily swapping.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hungry81:
WEll Im not a fan of the cloud, I prefer direct control over my own data. I feel the cloud is bad for data security and integrity. I do not see how a removable storage device is less secure than some random servers that could be located anywhere. And with my current phone I have the option to use "The Cloud" or my Sd cards or both. Why would anyone think it is beneficial for their options to be reduced? Why should I put my personal data into the hands of a complete stranger?
