Is it possible to watch TV on your Kaiser? If so, what do I need to d/l?
Yes, it is possible. You can stream from your home sling mobitv qt TV many many many many options to choose from.
which program would be the best to use/most reliable?
orb is good but i haven't streamed live tv. otherwise i use my slingbox which can be a more costly solution as you have to buy hardware
I have had great luck with Slinbox. It lets you watch YOUR cable or satellite tv, meaning you get your local channels, local sports, etc. Yes, there is a the cost of the box itself but that's a one time expense not an ongoing monthly charge like most of the streaming services.
Easy to set up and use and the quality is surprisingly good.
I use Slingbox. If you are interested...do an eBay search on Slingbox SB100. That's the original version that has all of the connections on it (no HD) and you can get it relatively cheap. I got mine for about $80 after shipping. Then you have to spend $30 on the mobile client software.
ORB is the way to go. You can stream TV, any movies off your home computer, any mp3s or music and also use it as a file browser to retrieve any files you may need off your home computer. I stream TV at 300k just fine on 3g. Of course you need a home computer with high speed internet and a tv card in it, but it has many more advantages over slingbox as to what you can do with it.
i think there is amonthly charge to use the orb, i may opt for the sling box, it cost about usd 80 and comes with all the software to watch tv etc from ppc and pc.

Nope, there is no charge on the orb service. Just install and go....
Orb's good, I just don't like keeping a PC running all day for my occasional streaming need. I'm a big Slingbox user and can say that they are simple and solid, can control a DVR Plus it can access your cable directly so you can set up some icons for your favorite channels on the phone and stream live TV anytime as well. I even peek out my front door from a cam modulated onto one of my TV channels.
Sling is a clean easy solution.

True, but you can set the PC to wake on lan, then dont need to leave it on, however the PC I have running ORB is my Exchange 12 Server, so needs to sta on all the time anyhow....
I use ORB all the time. I have been using it well over a year now. I always leave my PC on, so that isn't an issue. I'm from the old school, where frequent bootups were bad on the RAM/CPU, etc. I know it's not the case anymore, but it's just a habit.
orb.com, the best. I have media center pc to use on the online rental movies. I also use the media center pc to copy tv shows to my device so I can watch it on the go. I also use orb to record shows when I forget to set to record. It's a multi purpose device. Unlike LocationFree, which I have as well, or Slingbox, you can't record. So you have to be on that time to see the show.
Orb can be used on top of your existing or old computer. Just slap in a PCI or USB Capturing Video card and voila, you're done. I even use ORB as a Webcam surveilance camera to record if there is any movement. The computer is always on, but then again, the computer is a Pentium-M Desktop with super quiet fan and it's tiny as a mac.

Orb is awesome, I use it almost daily, and best of all it's free. I would like to point out, not all TV cards are compatible with ORB, you might want to reference which cards are supported first.
im getting loads of buffering issues when im trying to play videos / tv in orb, anyone got any ideas? im using HSDPA on the Kaiser and got 384k upload on the home pc.

Try using a "fixed" speed on the orb on your kaiser instead of letting it run the speed test. Alot of times it does the speed test and finds for example 800kbps and sets orb at that on the ppc. Manually set it to say 300kbps and see if that solves the problem. Alot is dependent on your cell providers bandwidth, they may have good bursts at times but then drop in speed between them.

Any ideas how to do that matey? I was looking for something similar but couldnt find it anywhere.
Thanks
Soz, RemE is correct here.
Sling is perfect because it will give you acces to what you have at home with full control via PPC or your laptop or as in my case my Media PC connected to my TV.
Slinger's do it their 'Home' way....

Just asking if there were a way we could use the keyboard as a gamepad similar to the xperia play's one? It could be great tu be able to use the keyboard to play games, and very much more user-friendly.
Thanks
Well in most emulators on the market, you can map the keys to controller buttons. I use Gameboy A.D. from the market and it's great with the D3 keyboard.

Sixaxis controller from market and a ps3 controller ftw.
Yeah, but for other games (native games for android) that's not possible. I don't have a PS3, i'm playing on a XBOX 360.

With native games I just use sixaxis in "touch" mode and setup the profile to match the button overlay in the game. The controllers keypresses emulate touch events so it works 100% with anything that allows touchscreen or key(hardware button) input. You can have the controller emulate a touchscreen, keyboard and/or mouse so... a 20$ ps3 controller(any pawn shop has them used etc, just make sure it's bluetooth and not the 2.4ghz with a dongle) and d3 car mount screwed to it > gamegripper imo. Trying to upload you a screenshot of the profile setup, once you see that you'll know for sure it works with anything that runs on droid, including the home app/any app/game but its being stuborn, I'll get it up in a bit.
Edit: Uploaded that screenshot of the profile setup with my fpse profile loaded. The buttons aren't shown when playing a game or anything, only time you see where the button taps are position on the screen is when making/editing profiles so nothing interferes. sorry it took so long, used a friends laptop just to get them up lol. You'll notice I have the analog buttons overtop of the digital pad so I can use either/switch during gameplay etc
USB OTG work OK for keyboard, mouse, hdd, but absolutely no support for joysticks. I tried 5 different USB joysticks, none seems to work. USB device VID and PID visible, but no dev/input/js*. Also I did not find any joydev.ko module. Is there any success on nook hd cm10.1 joystick using?

Yes I saw it, but my original PS3 does not work with NOOK HD (10.1 20130719). Nether D-pad nor analog sticks.
Make sure you're using a USB hub, and you'll need to purchase the USB/BT Joystick Center. That app recognizes many usb controllers, and worked for me on a generic NES, SNES controller, and PS2 to USB adaptor. I was upset when I bought the app and it still wasn't working, then I got the USB hub and it all worked. Hope that fixes it for you!

Thank you. Is this your own experience with NOOK HD? Is this NOOK HD or NOOK HD+? What CM version?
I purchased NOOK HD as a dedicated device to control my Ar Drone quadrocopter, the control program has joystick support. So I did everything I could to make it working.
1. None of my joysticks (including original PS3) work "as is". No dev/input/js* file created, no eventX for joystick (no usb hub, but no dmesg on excess power). All them are visible with lsusb.
2. Sixaxis checker cannot detect controller (BT master address changed properly). No use.
3. Joystick Center/BT. PS3 is not detectable. I was able to detect generic USB controller and assign joysticks and buttons. Theheadsn in the control program I can map buttons, but no luck with analog sticks. Then I tried touch event emulation (Joystickcenter/BT)+Joy2touch server. I can put control on the screen, but no touch event injection. I asked author of Joycenter and he has no idea how to fix it.
The last 2 attempts with joycenter are here (I made the video to ask the author).
I'm not permitted to post direct links to youtube, here are video: w1tWqoG5QFI and Bbgb8z1WGWo or check my channel nnnkkk123123
I dont know what to do. Any advise is very much welcomed. I'll try with USB hub.
You were right!
Original PS3 works fine over usb hub. Third party PS3 doesn't ( but OK with Playstation). Both create dev/ input/js0 and joystick event.
PS3 can work as a regular joystick, including analog axis and with Tinkore KeyMapper can simulate touch events ( so can be used with programs without joystick support). In contrast to Tinkore KeyMapper Joycenter/BT does not inject touch events in NOOK.
Alexb54 thank you, you made my day!

Did you have any performance issues when simulating touch events with Tinkore KeyMapper. I just tried it and it slows down the entire performance of the device with it enabled. Framerate is choppy and no longer fluid when playing games. This is with my Nook HD+ on the latest CM10.1 build by verygreen.
USB/BT Joystick app seems to work just fine with my USB controller. I can map all the keys but, as you mentioned, the touch overlays do not work when enabling the touch server app. The app works fine and you can assign the virtual buttons on the touch screen, but nothing registers when you press the buttons on the controller after exiting touch edit mode. Still, even if it did work, there is a significant performance drop when playing games with the touch overlay enabled. Its the same issue with Tinkore KeyMapper app. This is a shame since my original nexus 7 works just fine with the virtual buttons and there is no performance issues when enabled.
I just tried with my original ps3 controller, it doesn't work...mine is not a dualshock though..

Hi
I know that remote play support is coming for the ps4 but is it possible to connect a ps3 controller to the z3 compact and furthermore, can you use it on other applications such as GTA3? Also can you use a ps4 controller on other games as well?

its working only when is connected with cable but when i try to connect wireless its not working
so why its not working wireless?ahd some games not working(wild blood)
So, recently i bought a ipega pg 9078 gamepad just to play call of duty mobile. The reason i bought it because it was cheap ($20) and i didn't want to invest much for Android gaming. But after i brought it home it didn't connect with codm as codm only supports ps4 and Xbox one controller.
Then, I told the developers of codm to add a wide range of controller support in the future update of the game on their official forum , but they told me to stick up with the native touch controls.
The reason i want a gamepad to play codm because it brings the game to a whole new level.
Plus, i can use upto 8 fingers to play , which is pretty sick.
So, my question is ,
1. is it possible to make a Xbox one/ps4 controller emulator on android, which will emulate the input of any Bluetooth gamepad and make the android device think its a ps4/ Xbox one controllers input?
2. Can any humble developers in this forum make such magisk module/ app / xposed module?
If you can, it will be much appreciated.
There is a Xbox 360 controller emulator called x360ce but it is only available for pc.
P.S. I tried Octopus Gamepad and Panda Gamepad pro but it really sucks (the aiming is really bad)
