i bought the samsung optical smarthub http://samsung-odd.com/eng/
Most people wont need an old fashioned portable dvd read write drive. But i bought this so that i dont need to rip my dvds to play them in the car for my child and dvds are pretty cheap anyway now compared to rental downloads which cost as much as buying the dvd.
This device can wirelessly act as a dvd read or write drive for android or ios devices or laptop or wired to a laptop. When wired to a laptop it acts like an internal drive and network features wont be there. From your android or ios device you can read or write to dvd / cd drive and also to attached flash disk or hard disk. It comes with a home charger but the device is portable enough to take on holidays to use as travel router in hotel rooms which may only gine internet access via ethernet port and this device has an internet port and can act as wireless access point. Multiple devices can access same dvd or cd or simultaeneously access dvd and flash drive. You can also wirelessly connect to DLNA or uPnP devices via this device so any content on it can be played on DLNA TVs for streaming videos. ALso can be plugged into usb ports or TVs to directly play dvds unlike other dvd drives but i havent checked the last feature.
I am thinking of setting this up in my car as a NAS device so that my child can access dvds etc wirelessly or other video files from usb sticks. But the device does not come with car charger. I am looking for a car charger for this, it needs 5volt 4amps via wall charger so will need a similar car charger which is hard to find as its 4amps. If anyone finds a similar car charger please let me know, any help in this regard is much appreciated.
I contacted amazon seller about car charger and he said to RMA the device! I was just looking for pointers for a car charger as i still like the device. Gooled for the charger but just seem to be getting junk instead of 5volt 4amp car chargers. The device comes with a usb cable with double usb ends which i plugged into two 2.1amp car chargers but didnt seem to work by charging via usb port, so will need to look for the car charger 5volts 4amps to charge via the regular charging port.

thanks. will check this out.
Hi, I have connected the TV dock to a power outlet and HDMI cable to my TV and I also have my TV dock connected to a charger. But nothing happens and my TV does not detect the TV dock and the TV launcher application does not start at all. Just wondering how do I get it to work and do I have to do something with the smart connect application? Thanks.

The imobi4 HTC ONE m8 HDMI Cradle Docking Station- B
Has anyone tried this dock?
I am extremly interested in it since it can do both Portrait and landscape.
It also has a built in MHL adapter so you can just plug in a regular HDMI cable in it.
Hi there
I did a couple searches and found nothing in Atrix HD thread regarding this. So I'd like to ask if anyone has tried the Microsoft Wireless display adapter on this phone and how good/bad is it.
That is a dongle that plugs to your TV and that lets you mirror your phone screen using miracast protocol (through wi-fi direct I believe). Apparently, unlike Chromecast, you don't have to have compatible streaming apps and just use it as if you had the hdmi plugged into the tv.
Anyhow, any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi All
I'm moving over from a P20 Pro and can't seem to get my USB Type-C HDMI/VGA adaptor to work. I'd like to mirror the screen to a PC monitor which has both HDMI and VGA inputs.
Any comments gratefully received....
Cheers
Steve
You can't use any USB-C to HDMI adaptor. Mi9 has no support for it.
Hi @davfiala
Thanks for your reply. I've bought a wireless->HDMI adaptor from fleabay so will test that when it comes.
Cheers
Steve
Chromecast or similar would work
Thanks @rajanm1
According to the ad, it supports EZCast, DLNA, Miracast, EZAir (Airplay)
I'll post up when it arrives.
Cheers
Steve
Hi All
The wireless adaptor arrived today and it works just fine using MiraCast. I bought it from fleabay for just under £7.00 and it looks like the attached pic.
The instructions were in Chinglish and the text was 3 point in size, so I found this excellent guide:

If you want one, just search on fleabay for AnyCast.
To cast your screen, go to Settings->More->Wireless Display.
What I really wanted was a landscape camera for my LCD monitor, but the stock app doesn't rotate the camera so it's always portrait which is the same as the P20 Pro :crying:. Open Camera works well in this case.
So I just need 48MP RAW for 3rd party apps and bob's yer uncle
Cheers

A quick update on this. My LCD monitors are pretty old and only have DVI and VGA inputs. They work fine with my laptop and a HDMI->DVI adaptor but the Anycast dongle doesn't work at all. After a bit of googling I found out that there are DVD-I and DVD-D standards. DVI-D is a digital standard and DVI-I is digital and anaolog. I bought a DVI-I adaptor but still no joy.
The fix was to buy a HDMI->VGA adaptor and a female->female HDMI gender changer. This works great and is powered from the HDMI port.
So now I can cast the Mi9 to any LCD monitor
So the setup is AnyCast dongle -> gender changer -> HDMI/VGA.
For info, the HDMI->VGA I bought was like the attached
wish xiaomi would stop cheaping where they shouldn't . hdmi over usb-c would not have costed them much to implement. they want to be in 2019, but still use 90s tactics

can u pls post a picture of whole setup? I want to do the same with redmi note 7 pro, thanks
Hi sorry I don't have the setup any more, but it's really simple.
The Anycast USB plugs into your phone via a USB-A->USB->C adaptor.
The AnyCast HDMI cable plugs into the HDMI gender changer
The HDMI gender changer plugs into the HDMI->VGA adaptor
The VGA plugs into your monitor
Hope that helps
Steve
HDMI is good for me with global but not with the last update : 11.0.3. I go back for fast game (60hz).
