Media server - Motorola Droid 3

Does anyone know why media server would be chewing out more battery than my screen? I listened to some music and watched one youtube video on the bus today and media server is at 40% of my battery... possibly a process run wild or something?

Yes, I'm watching Getaway in Stockholm 8 on youtube as I type this. Try turning HQ off.
Streaming is not an issue

Eyecon + XBMC = Awesome!!

I just set this up last night and have to say I was really impressed! I now have a complete media control device. If you have XBMC setup on your HTPC or Xbox, you just enable UPnP in XBMC settings, side load Eyecon on the Gtab (if you can't find it in Market), register or login as Guest and fire it up. It will automatically detect your media devices as long as they are able to share media. No need to enter IP addresses and ports, etc. Setup was easy.
The interface is great as it shows you 4 different panes for Search, Results, Play, and Plug (playlists). No need to use the XBMC remote to fight through menus to find your content. Don't get me wrong, I still like the official XBMC remote and will continue to use it for fine tuning, but Eyecon makes playing media easier and more high tech. Check it out.

I couldn't get it to work on PS3. Issues getting UPnP to come up as enabled on the PS3. Anyone else try it?

Movies won't play beyond 70 minutes

I download and watch full movies from PC on my G1 and they play pretty well. Except that when movie reaches 1 hour and 10 minutes (70 minutes) the video stops but sound keeps playing. If I try to forward the movie before reaching 70 minutes, the videob plays normally but the sound is from the startv of the movie. The problem is consistent with the stock video player as well as all other media players available in the market. I have tried many different movies but its the same problem with the exact same timing. Does anyone have a clue about this?

Downloaded it about an hour ago from the Play Store, it's awesome!
$9.99 per month. What a joke!

I've tried spotify, Pandora, and doubletwist magic radio... I've been listening to all access for about two hours now. Seriously worth the 8.60$ a month.

Why is it a joke...... Spotify charges the exact same amount for mobile devices.
If Google can get the deals in place and match their library, there is no joke about it, especially if you get in early on for the $7.99 price.

It's 7.99 a month if you sign up for the free trial before mid-june I think? http://www.androidcentral.com/google-play-music-all-access-unveiled
I'm a long-time Rhapsody user, but I've got to say, being able to combine the music I already have or have purchased with a subscription service is awfully convenient. On the other hand, only being able to use it on the web/my phone instead of also on my xbox for living room listening is less wonderful.

Yea I signed up for it because it would be nice as you said for streaming plus songs I already have. But with so many companies offering music services it's going to be hard to have a single solution across all platforms. With this and my xbox/win8 set up I'm pretty much covered.

"keeping" music option takes 100times longer than it does on Spotify.
Im sure they will fix this soon.. I hope.

i really want to subscribe to this but im outside US any ideas how i can achieve this?
I've been on Spotify for over a year, tried MOG, Rdio, everything. So far this has the best interface, with more music in some respects, with notification bar controls, and landscape mode, for 7.99. Great job Google! Just won me
I ditched MOG for All Access. I don't use all of its expanded features, but it does exactly what I need it to do.
I've not previously subscribed to a music service, couple of questions some of you may be able to answer... I have some guesses. Let me know if there are other use cases:
[Q-1] Why is there an option to still upload my music library when I've already purchased all access? I can play anything I want already, on demand or radio-like.
[GUESS-1] Is this to upload music I write, or music that's not licensed through the service (like a certain artist I want is missing, or not commercial yet)? Anything else? Should I "upload" music that I own that is available for streaming play? Will that impact anything like the quality? I'm guessing not, and I'm hoping if it detects a match it won't waste my 20,000 song space, or bother shoving up data it already has a better copy of.
[Q-2] Why can we still "buy" songs when we're all access? I can already play anything Google has. Why are you showing me this? I have seen a few comments (while searching for these answers) of people actually saying they wish their $7.99/mo. subscription came with 10 free songs... Why? That doesn't seem logical.
[GUESS-2] So I can still play it if I drop the subscription?

1) It's a holdover from when Google Music was upload/purchase only and didn't have a streaming option. I already had most of my albums uploaded to GMusic for streaming purposes. Now, though, I guess it's only if you want to upload stuff that isn't in Google's catalog.
2) For when you unsubscribe.

You can't download all access music on your pc, just purchased tracks or your own. Also, Google doesn't have licenses for every label and every artist/album. Uploading your own supplements this. I also suspect their purchase library is larger than all access streaming but I can't confirm this, just guessing.

It's there, you sure you are not looking hard enough?
I checked on my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 10, it's there under the settings. And I am willing to bet if it is one my Nexus 10, it should be on your Nexus 4.
The one thing I LOVE about Google Music/All Access is that it displays the song playing on my car's radio, Spotify doesn't. Spotify is also finnicky with headset controls...sometimes when I hit play the stock Android players kicks on.
But what I do give Spotify props for are the nice little features - the desktop program is really easy to use, easy to create and modify your playlists, easy to see what's new and trending, and I really use the Popularity feature a lot. Also the app has crossfading, which is a little but awesome feature, it's also an easier interface.
I'm really on the fence with this one.

Hdmi display without screen being on

Hey I was just wondering if anyone had any mods/methods to use the micro hdmi port to display something WITHOUT leaving the actual phone screen on.
This wouldn't exactly be mirroring, I'm just wondering for purposes of playing movies on my phone on an HDTV or playing games on a larger display without eating my battery quickly due to a wasted display screen.
If this has already been discussed in another forum some guidance would be appreciated and I'll delete this post to avoid redundancy.
Thanks!

There's an app in the apps and games threads that does exactly this. I'm sorry I can't think of the name. Its a root only app, if that helps
Here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkahoang.screenstandby
Thank you! Downloading it now (I rooted my phone earlier today)
The app is called
"screen standby # root" for those reading the thread looking for the app and is available on the play store for free
