I just purchased a used Tilt from LutLot Liquidations for $100 and it works great. But I have a question. In 3 of my vehicles I have a dvd player with available av inputs. I have a slingbox at home and was wondering if there would be anyway to view the slingbox from my phone and output it to my car(s) dvd player thru the phone? I know I am reaching here but figured I would ask.
Thanks!
Sorry, the Kaiser doesn't support video in / out and can not connect to a DVD player, external screen, etc.
As for viewing your slingbox - I'm not 100% sure what protocol the sling uses but you should be able to watch streaming video on your Kaiser if your network connection is up to it. Depending on the protocol, TCPMP/Core should let you watch streaming content.

I hooked up a slingbox pro to my home satellite receiver and now have streaming live tv on my xv6800.
Is it possible to get the video and audio out to a monitor in my car?
I have found a few cables for camcorders that may work but wondering if this is possible?
As far as I can tell, the VX6800 doesnt have a video out. Might need something more powerful, like an Axim X51v [mine had VGA out and I used a small cell phone as a modem]
First of all thank you to all the developers on this site. Your work is truely amazing. Now, Below is a link to an article from engadget. They claim the Netflix streaming software that can be found on a few blu-ray players and soon on the xbox 360 is going to become open to the public to develope for other devices. Now ofcourse it requires a subscribtion to netflix but to just have the abilty to stream movies to the Tilt/kaiser would be great. Not to mention kick ATT mobile tv to the curb. Anyone wanna give it a try?

there is NO WAY a tilt has the processing power to handle a stream that big.
I mean it has to be possible if its able to get Mobile tv no?
it would be possible if you put a server somewhere to resize and compress the movies. You could stream them to your home computer then use something like slingbox mobile to re-encode them and push them to your phone. The problem is even with slingbox it is still laggy and generally not worth watching. The drivers on the kaiser suck, by 5G ipod plays movies flawlessly where the same movie on my kaiser sucks.
Maybe. I can watch streaming video on most sites with the Skyfire browser, so using that it might work.
But like someothers have said, might be too much data for the Kaiser to handle.
Now Im in a country right now that doesn't have a 3g network (f ing Belgacrap) ne who. For those in the US ,anyone care to go to netflix website on the tilt and just stream directly from them.
Guys, I would like your opinion / advice on -
I have a Windows Home Server which streams Video to the TV via a Media Centre Extender. I would like to stream Music all over the house from the centralised Server. I have an old Diamond and a couple of Kaisers lying in the house which can connect to the Server over wifi + HTC Network plugin. None of them would be having a SIM card inside. I am going to use Coreplayer as the network player to play the music files on the Server.
Is there any other solution or this is the most optimal solution.
Secondly, is there a dock which has built-in speakers or facility to add speakers as well as charging for the diamond?
Any idea / help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anyone uses this?
We all have gigs of mp3's on our PC's and I found only one app which can simply stream music, using wireless router for connection - Gmote. So this way I plug in my headphones and can listen to anything on my PC from anywhere in the house.
Sadly, it seems that it isn't developing anymore and a lot of my music is encoded in a way that Gmote doesn't like. I think it has problems with variable higher bitrates, maybe.. not sure.
Is there anything else that can do the job? DLNA maybe?
You can easy convert al your MP3-files to a right format.

Let your computer do the job at night, and in the morning you're a smiling human
No way, that would permanently lower sound quality . And PC is also connected to hi-fi
I'd rather find an app that works like it should . DLNA could be beter option, that way PC would recode music on-the-fly, just for listening on Hero. Ill try 2Player, looks promising
u never heard of orb or sugersync or oh there are tooo many to list
Not really the same thing. SugarSync uses "personal cloud", so it's over internet and Gmote uses home network which is free, fast and local. No upload/download.
As far as I remember, Orb was for internet radio? Can't find it on AppBrain.
Anyway, 2Player works with Tversity as DLNA server. Music only. Good to know
HDMI 1.3 incorporates a function to allow the tv remote to control other hdmi units, called regza link in my toshiba tv, but most manufacturers have their own (semi-compatible) versions.
From what i understand from the tech specs, the optimus x2 does have HDMI 1.3, so i wonder, can i use the tv remote as phone remote and effectively turn the phone into fullHD home theatre system?
i havent yet gotten the phone, and i probably wont get a hdmi cable with it, so i cannot test it myself for several weeks (living on the countryside, miles from nearest electronics store..
No you cant
firstly it doesnt have any implementation of HDMI CEC (doesnt have to just because it have HDMI 1.3),
secondly its not a mediaplayer but a phone running a phone OS - the OS are not designed to operate as a remote controlled mediaplayer using HDMI CEC control or otherwise - and there are no "mediacenter software" you can install to make it act like one.
thirdly its not a mediaplayer but a phone - its ability to play media are limited to certain formats and certain encoding profiles. "1080p" or "FullHD" are not terms describing its ability to function as home theatre system, but simply and only a term for the maximum resolution supported of the supported file and encoding formats. The phone doesnt support all the media formats and variations you would expect from a home theatre system or mediaplayer. Its "1080p" abilities is about being able to play limited Web2 content like youtube video, encoded in baseline profiles - it doesnt have support for encodings in main or high profiles or AC3/DD or DTS audio or mkv or DVD structures or BD structures or HDTV or subtitles or anything else you would expect of a home theatre system
Its HDMI connection is about being able to project the odd pictures and video now and then, but it require video to be encoded in a supported format within the supported specs and it require the control to be done on the phone.
It will never be any kind of FullHD home theatre or mediaplayer replacement.
I'll say it it a bit nicer.
The HDMI connection is excellent for playing video you have recorded on your phone or to use the phone for playing correctly encoded video if you are away at a hotel for the weekend.
Using this phone to play full HD movies as a home theater replacement is never going to happen but clearly the ability for phones to act as a full media server is in the post.
