I have a Nook Color rooted with CM7.1 RC on an8 gb micro sd Kingston class 10. I have Netflix, YouTube(v2.2.14). Is the NC capable of outputting HD using a MHL (micro usb HD link) to HDMI converter cable? Have any of the nightlies addressed this issue? Thanks.
Mhl requires special hardware, not just software. It will never be supported on the nook.

Yeah I tried it with a Samsung Infuse adapter, and nothing.
So the hardware is not there at all, correct?
hi,
i already got the mhl adapter for micro usb to hdmi, thats working fine,
but i there a solutuion to do this wireless.
i dont only want to stream videos or audio, i want to have the full homescreen streamed.
the reason is, i want to connect an external hdd via usb
thank you
easiest way is probably ipad2/iphone4s with apple TV2 on IOS5
check this out for android

which does the same thing except in place of Apple TV2, you need a PC there.

I think DLNA is your only option there. You need a TV with dlna support.

Can the Kindle Fire 7”HD(KFTT) support the OTG?
Does anyone test it?
It didn't work for me. I'm not sure if that means it won't work. Could be the cable. I think the driver modules are loaded in the kernel. If it doesn't work for anyone else I think we'll have to wait till we can load a custom kernel.
Doesn't work. The OTG Usb cable I have works on my GS3 and on my Nexus 7 and does nothing on my kindle. Usb doesn't show up in es file explorer. The Nexus requires root so I assume the fire does also.

did not work for me either, i order the otg cable from amazon and i tried playing today. nothing worked i tried mounting usb for mass storage and ps3 or xbox controllers but they dont work either. eForCity Micro USB Host Mode OTG thats the cable i got.
I did get a Rii Bluetooth mini keyboard and track pad to work. I ordered a case with a Bluetooth keyboard. It doesn't help with storage devices but some peripherals.
I'm now rooted and can confirm that OTG does not work. I installed stick mount and the device does not read my usb drive or sun mouse

OTG fail
have tried several devices with my kindle fire 2 and an OTG cable. Nothing has worked as yet. I am rooted but still running stock rom (cyanogenmod unofficial didn't fire up) with play store. I have tried with different usb devices. 2 otg cables with stick mount.apk with a powered hub still no joy. Has anyone got any other ideas to get this to work?

Will the OTG for GS3 work with kindle fire 2. Thought the GS3 had an extra pin? Hope I don't sound like a noob
Maybe take a look at this for the KF2.

Interesting. I was wondering if it was a power issue. I'll have to round up a powered hub and see if I can get one of my usb drives to work.
I am thinking about getting the raspberry pi and load xbmc onto it. I will probably be buying a WiFi dongle. How do I exactly setup up the WiFi for the pi? Do I need to hook it up to an Ethernet port first or no?

Fortunately it's pretty simple to set up the WiFi on the RPi, all you have to do is plug the WiFi dongle into one of the USB ports and then connect to your wireless router WiFi network through XBMC and you should be good to go. You shouldn't have to hook the RPi up to Ethernet first to get internet setup. My other recommendation would be to check out this guide if you run into problems http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals and this list of WiFi dongles that have been tested and verified to work with the RPi.

Hi,
Setting the WIFI dongle up is fairly easy you will need to load XBMX onto your PI and boot this up with the ethernet cable attatched. Go to settings and find the PI's IP address. Write this down.
Plug your WIFI dongle into the PI also.
You will then need to download a program called PUTTY onto your pc or laptop. You should start a SSH session on the IP you have wrote down.
Login in using username:XBMC Password:rasperry
Once you have done this go into settings and find WLAN. Click on this and put the the SSID of your internet service provider and your PASSKEY. then end PUTTY.
Reboot your PI and hey presto your WIFI dongle will be working
If this helps please hit thanks. If you get stuck I have a youtube video with the SSH session on XBIAN (same thing) just PM me
Peace

So it is not required to book the pi up with an Ethernet cable first if I understand you correctly right?

Yes thats correct. Boot the PI up with the ethernet cable plugged in, obtain the IP from the settings in XBMC. Then on a pc or laptop do the putty SSH session using this IP and log in and enable WLAN and input the SSID and Passkey
Hope this helps
Also if I plan to use xbmc do I have to buy any licenses? I am confused about that as well. If so which ones?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Hiya. I believe if you use raspbmc which is a Linux distro there is no licensing, same with xbmx and xbian. I Do however believe you have to buy mpeg2 licenses.
Hope this helps and best of luck maybe post a pic of your finished pi project for us all to see I'm still tinkering at the moment but I would recommend a powered usb hub it has been my saviour the past few weeks.

Oh and something else that is awesome if you go for a xmbc raspbmc or xbian openelec etc.
Download an app called yatse. (for the record I bought the full version) this allows you to control the pi with your nexus I use it all the time just scan for the pi once your wireless working and do it from your phone haha

What exactly does the mpeg-2 license allow me to do exactly?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I didn't buy any licence and I have no problems playing anything. It would all depend what format your media is. Most of my stuff is h264 aka mpeg4. I don't think I've even ever seen a file encoded in mpeg2 as it is older and less efficient then current standards

So if I am just streaming stuff off of xbmc plug-ins like 1channel I would not need the licenses?

I doubt it. If you find you do have issues you can always purchase the licence at a later time

If your looking to install Hulu on XBMC I would recommend taking a look at this guide, it involves mainly installing the Bluecop repository. For getting Pandora working I would recommend taking a look at this guide here.

For the Pandora add on, how do I make the necessary edits?

You actually don't have to make the edits you can download the .zip file containing the edits already made for you here. Once you have downloaded the .zip file extract the contents and place them in your addon folder.
Suggestion: go on eBay and search for "ew-7811un". Save yourself a lot of headache and BUY ONE lol. It's an Edimax wifi dongle. It's tiny, and works with Rasperry Pi right outta the box, no setup required. You'll need a wireless mouse just to pick the router and enter your wifi password, etc.
Another suggestion: get a *powered* USB 2.0 hub, and plug it into the Pi. Use only one of the USB ports on the Pi, for the hub, don't use the other one. The Pi is severely underpowered, and the USB hub will solve that for you (if it's a powered hub, of course). Plug the wifi dongle and the wireless mouse into the hub.
Final suggestion: get the OpenELEC distribution of XBMC for Pi. It's AMAZING, especially with the ACE skin (which you can download right from the Pi in the Settings menu after installing - see attached pic). The only downside is that OpenELEC is a locked distribution, meaning you can't add repositories that are not listed as "add-ons" via the gui itself.
What I have is the above, plus a large external hard disk connected to my network via my internet service provider's wireless modem. Basically, it shows up as a network drive on any device connected to my wifi network. It allows me to download (ahem, I mean "purchase") movies, music, videos etc through my laptop, directly onto the network drive, and then instantly play them via the Pi as a SMB share.
Hope this helps.

anything with artheos chip should be fine, there are good drivers for this kind of dongle
You could also while on Ethernet download the Wifi Tool in the Raspberry XBMC repository and then you have a GUI for configuring your WiFi device within the XBMC interface as long as you have a supported adapter.
I appreciate all the responses about the wifi dongle but I have already solved that problem and got my wifi to work.

I need help to connect my controller via Sixaxsis Controller app... I tried changing the controllers Bluetooth address through the computer to match my Nook HD+, but no luck. Any suggestions? can I even connect it? thanks in advance.

It won't work....something about six-axis and some changes google made make it not work on the Nook HD+ with CM.
The ps3 controller will work without it but you have to have it connected via usb through a hub and cable gender changer.
I ended up just buying the cheap but great Red Samurai blue tooth controller from Gamestop...it works very well and only 20 dollars
Does not require any special utilities to run with emulators and games. It also has a switch for controller or keyboard mode.
got it. thanks for the help.
