If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it. I am running ElemtnalX 3.4 Kernel and ViperONE 1.2.1 ROM. I am trying to hook my HTC One video out into my navigation of my vehicle like I did when i owned an iPhone. I would love to be able to change my video out to 480p before it gets to the conversion device i am running. I feel it will run better(Just my thoughts). I am going out through HDMI into this device HERE I know there are ways to Change the video out to different version in android terminal emulator. So I am asking if there is a way to Change my HDMI output to 480p in android terminal emulator, and if so what is the command. Also, if it is possible i'd like to have the command to reset to default, so I can go back and forth when i leave my Vehicle.
-If this is not needed ...or there is a better way, I am listening to all opinions. Thanks so much everyone!

Hello fellow Captivaters/ Androiders!
Just out of curiousness, has anyone ever successfully transcode/ convert an actual Blu Ray rip to use on our Captivates? If so, what video/ audio codecs were used and settings? Now before you ask....the answer is YES, i have searched inside the following:

...yea.
I also googled it. All results lead to downloading Pavtube/ Ripbot/ DVDFab/ etc. I don't mind getting into each program, but i would prefer Handbrake if necessary.
I have searched on youtube as well, lets just say its Youtube...lol...sometimes you'll find results that you never knew existed.
If anyone can shed some light, i would greatly appreciate it.
To Android!
I'm pretty sure a Blu-Ray DVD works the exact same way in Handbrake as a regular DVD, assuming if you have the driver software to decode it (Google will have to be your friend here). Just use the Regular Normal preset...instructions I've found elsewhere tell you to use iPod settings for a Galaxy S, but the encodes I've done using that always turn out less than spectacular.

Thanks Shwiggie.
Question: Have you successfully achieved this with Blu Ray?
As mentioned, I have used google, and will try again. Also, i've used both Normal/ High Profile/ Iphone/ Ipod legacy presets and all attempts have failed (Mainly audio). The video, on the other hand, works out perfect. Thanks again.
I was disappointed, but not surprised to see that functions for dropping internal rendering and only render to the external screen were in-built into the media-player on the lg. I mean, having an overlay where you could switch context would have been just too easy, after all.
But is there a way to turn off the internal rendering and only render to hdmi? Since android has a composite manager on it's own, it seems strange it shouldn't be just a simply command for it, that would leave the phone context inactive, and the rendering context on hdmi. In the same way the media player works.
I.e., if playing netflix, you would just pick the source for the viewport, and leave the program just serving (while the view on the phone is inactive). Same with games.
Think it's possible to do that in an overlay? Or is it necessary to do it individually for each program. Or, more likely, that it's something that has to be implemented in Android at some point..?
I wonder how do you bring that content back to o4x to control the phone

I believe you can do that thru the secret menu. Dial 3845#*880# and go to HDMI settings and choose whether you want full phone mirroring or use as an extension of your screen so you can still use your phone to do whatever.

Oh, nice. Thank you. Doesn't seem to be any options to not run a mirror (see "full mirror" and "cinema" in the modes). And the changes don't do anything and don't stick.. But I'll look around some more. ..do you need to root the phone to change the options..?
update?

i know this is an old post i am responding to, but having searched all over i cannot find any update on the possibility of gaining a full 'mirror' display on my 4x hd.
did you have any luck getting the options on the 'hidden menu' to stick? it was the first thing i tried, but as stated no options stick once selected (i assumed it was going to be simple when i saw the option for 'full mirror' on the menu).
i have tried changing the options on 'hidden menu' pre and post root, to no avail. im gutted to find that this phone dosnt support 'full mirror' on the hdmi out, usb otg :crying:
if anyone knows how to do this on my rooted 4x hd PLEASE HELP!
cheers in advance!

handy app! cheers for bringing to my attention. ive installed and works fine (turning screen off when streaming a video to tv).
but im still no further trying to gain fill mirroring of my phones screen on the tv.
although i just read some promising news for the development of features missing from the p880; mhl hdmi mirroring + usb otg, etc...

(i hope i linked it correctly, and doing so is within forum rules). regardless, massive thanx to user arnookie for contacting lg and giving the info.
good things to come soo for our phone i hope.
You may have seen some blogposts yesterday about someone "hacking" the chromecast to run a gameboy emulator. Well, it is true that I got a gameboy emulator running on the chromecast, but it wasn't really a hack. This application uses no workaround or hack to get this up and running. It only uses the official SDK provided by Google.
I've posted the code on github here: https://github.com/acordar/chromecast-gb.
Performance is decent, not exactly the best since it doesn't run at 60fps (might depend on the rom, I've only tested 2). There isn't really any input lag though which is awesome.
If you've whitelisted your chromecast, you can set up the emulator yourself and try it out.
Here's OPs Reddit post
I really need to try this.
video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk2eCWph6eQ

This time around I chose an NES emulator to put on the Chromecast. When I ran it on the chromecast, the performance was really awful. Framerate was about 13 FPS. So I had the idea of just running the emulator on the computer and sending the image to the Chromecast.
code is here: https://github.com/acordar/chromecast-nes
I had some initial issues just sending every frame so right now it just sends every 4th frame. Also the quality of the image is lessened to improve performance. Both of these valuables are adjustable so people can mess around with it how they see fit. Check the instructions at github on how to do that.
Is it really "Gaikai" style? Well no not really, but it's just the general idea. What makes this different than the gameboy emulator? One, the emulator runs on a pc instead of the chromecast. Two, you can run whatever ROM you want since the emulator runs locally.... Who needs the magical cloud?
Nice work! Chromecast appears to have so much potential.
Yeah the chromecast is awesome. I think we will definitely see some creative apps besides just playing videos and other media like that.
Hey XDA Fans,
I'm actually at a position where i want to get rid of my MediaPC. At the moment i can do everything i want with only 1 missing thing. My current setup is, my PC is 3 rooms away and the TV has the ChromeCast. I also have a 5 meter USB cable routed through my rooms close to the TV with a recevier for a wireless Keyboard (mainly because there is no good WiFi Keyboard at the moment). So I can cast my Desktop or Browser to the TV and controll it. But ....
The big Problem, I need a way to start the Chrome Cast via any command, so I can press a Hotkey on my Keyboard to start the streaming so i do not have allways to go to the PC to start the streaming. And this is what I'm looking for currently.
I was looking through the API of Google Cast, but there is no API for Windows/.Net (was mostly clear but hoped for), only for Android and Chrome. So yeah as u guys might allready understand, I'm looking for a way to Start Desktop/Browser Streaming to my ChromeCast with a BatchFile, Scripting, Coding, which i can start via a Hotkey. Do not missunderstand me. If I or u guys could give me a hint with and API with these possibilities I'm able to code it myself. That's not the Problem, but as far as my research went I wasn't able to find anything on myself. So I'm here to maybe get pointed to sth.

PS: Sr for my bad english if u guys weren't able after reading the top few lines to understand what I'm looking for tell me I can try to explain it again x)
