Hi guys, I recently bought a n7 3g and have one small, yet annoying, issue. The files I place in the Movies folder appear as duplicated in the gallery, due to it being accessible by two paths by default:
Storage/emulated/legacy
Storage/emulated/0
Is there a way I can prevent this duplication? It is affecting the media library and the apps that rely on it, such the Archos video player, which duplicates all my video files entries.
Thanks!

I would like to know this as well as it happens on mine sometimes, but not always and there is no pattern to it.

You should be able to stream video if you have an HTC MediaLinkHD.
This will only work with videos/music stored locally on the tablet. It will not clone your display, so no surfing the web or games on the tv. Just streaming movies and music to a tv.
I was toying with it last night on my transformer prime. I tried bubble upnp, imediashare, etc... All of them would stream music no issues, but the video would always fail.
Then I found this free app, and every video I tested worked. In most cases, this worked better then the pairing between my evoLTE and the medialink.
If you search the play store for medialink , you should find an app called Wi-Fi Media by Cavium (wont show up when searching for Wi-Fi Media). Install it, choose your movie, and set the renderer to the medialink.
profit???

Of course I don't have the Nexus7 yet. But if anyone does, and has the medialink and wants to try it I don't see why it would be any different then my prime running AOKP.
This would be an expensive option if you don't own a newer HTC device and already own a medialink. But seems the option is there at least.
The no video output was more of a deal breaker to me then the storage, and that seems to be a non-issue now. If I could just find one in stock.
we can't have an app for make a mirror screen such as htc one x use 3 fingers to mirror the screen is not possible with a mod in next rom custom ?
I've been using the the media link and the Wi-Fi media app with my nexus 7 and must say it works well. We take it with us now just in case we need to keep the kids quiet with a film. The video quality at 720p source is very good and it hasn't stuttered once.

Don't know if I would have bought one though. I got mine free from phones 4U, when I got my one x.

I have one but mirroring kind of sucked and it was all that was available outside of the stock player and YouTube which actually sent the content via MediaLink (not just mirroring) on my HTC One X. I'll give it a shot with my Nexus 7 tonight. I was underwhelmed with the device using my HTC One X but I hope that it's better with the Nexus 7. Fingers crossed!
This should essentially be the same thing, a lot cheaper... once it releases.

Should have a beta out in the next 4 weeks, they are planning support for the n7.
Can anyone confirm if it works using play store movies that have DRM?

Can anyone provide a categoric answer on whether the HTC Media Link HD will play movies downloaded onto the Nexus 7 from the Play store that have DRM protection?
I think answering this single question will stop a lot of people hunting around and ultimately creating similar threads on the Nexus to TV issue.
Thanks.

How is this possible? At 1280x800 we have 1,024,000 pixels, at 32bit color depth that gives 32mbit per full screen image, so standard 60hz video would require just shy of 2gb/s... Wifi can't do anywhere close to 2 gigabit per second, 802.11n theoretical max is only 600 megabit and that's using 4 spatial streams which no consumer hardware supports... for most home users their max is going to be about 300 megabit/second using 40mhz channels and 2 spatial streams with a guard interval of 400ns (and even that is hard to achieve). At 300mb/s you'll get a frame rate of less than 10hz without compression.
So how the hell are they doing it?
QHey there,
Today I was just roaming in my nexus' system files(running stock 4.2.2) and I ended up finding 2 videos. I ran a search in xda and on Google but nobody has ever reported them.Thought I'll just share it with the community.
They are located in
Internal memory/system/media/video
Once again if they are already known then forgive me for posting.
If you like,press thanks button.

Sample videos. These are delivered with almost all the devices. Its like the sample videos, pictures and music on newly installed Windows
yeah, I always delete them. It's only a few mb, but they take up unnecessary space.
Those videos do actually serve a purpose, they were used in Google Talk when you're in a video chat and you enable the sunset/space backdrops. Though I imagine they'll be removed in the future now that Talk has been replaced with Hangouts (which lacks the backdrop feature)
Still they are something people normally don't know.(I guess)

Thank you kind Sir. I was looking for a way to do this for quite a while now.
This trick only works with the version that is currently in the Play Store, not the current modified (screen off and 1080p playback) one that is floating around XDA.
Still, once switched to the homescreen, screen-off playback works too.
Just download viral from the play store it allows you to play YouTube in a small window or run in the background

Yeah but you need root + custom rom to use Halo (I know there are some app that emulate it). Viral can use on any device and its very fast, probably use less resources than the Youtube app itself. I can even use it as an offline video player if you set links to open in pop up mode (which then can be fullscreened), I don't even need MXPlayer anymore. Also with Viral you can select YouTube videos to play in any existing resolution available.
Do you guys have any rom review suggestion for me? I want to do review of some rom

YouTube has always driven me nuts with this issue. Many times I just want to listen. I hope the make some changes. The TV connect always popping up in the way, the new comments system.. Etc.
Haven't tried this mod yet but sounds good.

I purchased a few months ago a transformer tf701.
I love the dice player but when using it on my tf701 I face weird issues.
For instance whilst playing video, screen blocks and audio keeps playing...
Anybody facing similar issues ?

I can honestly say I don't use Dice Player. Are you aware of the fact that there is a VLC player for android? It may still be under a geographical restricted beta, but the application just like the windows variant is free, so there are APKs floating all over the place for beta 0.1.3.
I would give that a try, in lieu of any practical advice on Dice.

Hello
Great news now VLC has popup play
I have the Allcast premium app for streaming media to my Chromecast. Last night I tried to stream a video from my library and it would not stream for more than 5 - 10 seconds without buffering.
I tried the same file from my 2012 Nexus 7 and streamed flawlessly. Both are running lollipop. Not sure why my Nexus 6 had issues.
Anybody using this app and have similar issues?

It's the app not n6. The app usually can't play a majority of files, my work around was just casting my screen and using MX player.

I too have run across files that had trouble playing. But like I said above I played the same file with the same app from my Nexus 7 without issue.
My Nexus 7 is running lollipop too so its not the app or the OS. Comes down to the Nexus 6. This phone is brand new so I expect there will be a software fix soon.
In the meantime I'll try MX while casting the screen.

for chromecast you can just use the built in cast screen instead but I have also had some issues with allcast.
