Vulkano on G Tab

Is anyone else trying to use Vulkano Player? (It is like Slingbox for those that don't know)
I haven't been able to get it to work with the tnt lite firmware or the VEGAn firmware.
The application comes up and I can control the tv (ie: change channels). I can also transfer recordings from the box to my tablet and view them just fine. However, when I go to watch live tv, it just goes black. No audio or video.
It works perfectly on my Nexus One.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

No luck here either. I'm trying to stream from a Hava Platinum but the same thing happens, it just goes black.
I tried to buy TestTube (another Hava client) from the market (with the Full Market fix) but after I paid for the app... it just gives me a server error when downloading the apk. Now it's not even letting me request a refund!

I just got an email back from the company and they are aware of this and say it should be fixed by the end of the month: (Here is the text of the email)
Thank you for contacting Monsoon Support.
Current Android Player works with Android Phones only. Android Tablet will be supported in next software release. Expected to have it towards the end of this month.
Thank you for choosing Monsoon Multimedia.

Looks like they finally updated... Unfortunately I still can't connect to my Hava Platinum.

Hi,
I have the older Hava wifi, and I'm able to watch live tv by using it with Orb by setting Orb to use the Flash player.
I don't know if a similar setup would work w Vulcanized, but just an FYI.

Moved to themes and apps

FWIW...
Not working for me either on CM6.1, CM7 or Vegan. I have the same problem on the Nook Color: it worked fine on eclair, but I have yet to find a build of Froyo or Gingerbread that it can stream video on. Does it even work on 2.2 or higher?

I have older slingbox original hooked up to my s3 TiVo working fine with my sags and gtablet

Victory!
Vulkano Mobile 1.5.083 was just released today and fixes the problem. My G-Tablet and Nook Color now happily display TiVo! Yai!
About Sling vs. Vulkano: the Vulkano is considerably cheaper than Sling ($100 if you get the version with no SD or HD, you can always add that yourself later if you need it) and offers a lot more functionality. Also, the mobile clients (for iPhone, iPad, Android, PC, Mac) are free. Sling charges $30 for mobile clients. Finally, the video quality is better. It does an especially good job on LANs.

I was just about to return my Vulkano, back in the box, rma and everything. Unboxed it, and tried 1.5.083, unfortunately, for me, same result as previous versions. When trying to watch live tv, The vulkano player says buffering, with a black screen and never displays video. Tried with fresh installs of vegan 511, and tntl44, same results on both. I caution anyone that's considering this, that it may not work with your gtablet. As an aside, it does work nicely with my evo4g, unfortunately, I was really hoping to use it with the tablet.

Tried the new app, and like Turbo, says 'buffering' but doesn't display any video.
Jim

Does not work here either. Running Calkulin's ROM and Clemsen's kernel. Just says buffering,.....works great on my Droid X, wish they would get it together.

Well my Vulkano is supposed to arrive today, so I'll post my results a bit later. Caulkulin's ROM and Clems ver. 9 kernel.

OK. Got the Vulkano about an hour ago. Works fine on my Evo, but stuck on buffering on the G Tab as well. I'll play around with it a bit and see what's up.

Ok so I just tried Corwins CM7 and it works!!! The only rom so far that my Vulkano works on. Nice, I missed my Vulkano.Give it a shot.

Could be the OC kernel.
I had problems previously on my Nook Color where the Vulkano player would play for a few seconds and then stall. I haven't done extensive testing but the same exact version on the same CM7 build now works and the only difference is that I haven't installed the OC kernel. More testing needed, I guess. Anyway, now I'm having the same problem with Vulkano Player 1.6.083 on a stock 7" Dell Streak: stuck on the "Buffering..." screen.

While this post is a bit stale, I did want to report that I am having a great experience with the G-tab and Vulkano Player (Version 3.0.629) and my Vulkano Flow. A couple of caveats however. First the app is no longer "free" ($12.99 on Google Market). I am running VeganTab 7.1.0 on my tablet. Network speed is really key here to buffering. In my house, excellent quality and no buffering time outs (naturally), "Starbuck"s - some stuttering but generally watchable," hpsquest" (thank you however you are) quite watchable with one drop out (I think when a large truck went by) even on a "Fair" wireless connection, "Mike" - too many drop outs and unreliable wireless network; packed it up and went home.
I wasn't sure I was going to keep the Vulkano Flow, however it will let me watch on the G-tablet, football games in bed while the wife sleeps. I am using wireless blue-tooth headphones to boot and no interference. I purchased the Vulkano to watch TV remotely at a ski-house but brother-in-law decided to get cable tv instead of high speed internet access (too bad in my opinion on several accounts).
I haven't tried standard cable quality. I currently have it paralleled to my high definition cable box. (This also allows me to see what my teenagers are watching on the big screen in the basement and if I feel like it, mess with them but I digress ...). When I get some time I will experiment on a standard definition digital to analog signal (we know have to have a cable box of some sort to watch any cable television). I also will try hooking up OTA somehow to test that too. Not sure how I am going to do that but I did purchase a digital to analog converter recently so perhaps that will do it for me.

I emailed them to ask if it was compatible and they sent me an apk to test with a id and pw with one of their boxes hooked up. I didn't have any luck so I bought slingbox and I don't have any issues with slingplayer.

Cast Screen works very badly.

I purchased the Turbo yesterday, there are many things I like but Cast Screen to my Samsung 2014 Smart TV is horrible, the videos are choppy and not worth watching at all, even something as basic as pictures is also pixelated and slow, my wife has Galaxy Note 3 with native Screen Mirroring feature and so does the TV and it works perfectly. Any suggestions or help to get my new Turbo to play smooth videos and pictures on my TV would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Has anybody used the Cast Screen feature at all? Any feedback is greatly appreciated..... continued, I tried WiFi direct; at first it would not even connect to my Samsung 2014 Smart TV, after much frustration I changed the wifi frequency on theTurbo from Auto to 2.4 gigahertz and it connected. My happiness was very short lived, my TV requires for WiFi direct to work that I install a Samsung app. called Smart View 2.0...which cannot be installed on the Turbo; it is not compatible.
I no longer expect that I will receive a reply here that will help me but at least I can be of some help to those sitting on the fence whether to buy a Turbo: If playing your videos from your phone on your TV is VERY important to you: Do Not buy the Turbo, if having a WiFi Hotspot without paying Verizon for double dipping is very important to you: Do Not buy the Turbo. If battery life, performance, reception, storage ( I have the 64 gb model) and overall good feel and looks matters most to you: BUY the Turbo. Good Luck

I can cast NHL Gamecenter to my Samsung TV with no stutter at all. I even have a crappy internet connection. I haven't tried any other videos, but photos are tack sharp. No idea why you might be having issues.

I also can cast Netflix or Slingplayer from the phone to my TV, works ok but it is also silly since my TV has Netflix built-in and Slingplayer plays my own TV channels, the problem I am having is with Screen MIrroring, that is what Samsung calls it, Motorola calls it Cast Screen, when I project my phone unto the TV screen the results are very poor, Videos are choppy and pictures load very, very slowly, when my wife connects her Samsung Note 3 to the TV the results are flawless, no lag, videos on her phone play in full 55" splendor perfectly, with the Turbo it is a terrible experience.
I was hoping someone here could try to play their own phone videos on their big screen HDTV and report back on results or better yet help me to get better results with my Turbo.

I don't know if my experience is helpful because I have a Sony Xperia Z3v and a LG Smart TV. I have much better success with screen mirroring (Miracast) when I have my phone connected to my 5GHz N channel of my router. If I use 2.4GHz, I get similar results as you or it won't connect at all.

Thanks for the comeback, I have a 2.4 gigahertz router so it is my only option, What I notice is a distinct difference in quality between my wife's Note 3 and my Turbo. It may be that since my TV is Samsung and so is my wife's phone, they are optimized for each other. In other words Motorola and Samsung don't like each other. Thanks again.

UPDATE: For reasons I cannot explain Screen Mirroring or Cast Screen from my Turbo to my HDTV is working perfectly and smoothly, I have the exact same hardware and software that worked terrible for the first 3 days of Turbo ownership, maybe I was not holding my mouth just right... now only one thing keeping me from the Perfect Turbo experience: I still have no WiFi Hotspot so I will have to hope an app. is developed that works without root or paying Verizon for double dipping.

Has your performance still sucked? I have a Motorola Turbo and Samsung H7150 and my screen mirroring is horrible.

Screen Cast
I'm using Microsoft's Wireless Display Adaptor and I'm unable to stream Netflix. I get audio,but no video. Anybody else having the same problem? Thanks

I have the Motorola Droid Turbo 2 and I have similar issues with casting my screen to two different Sony HDTV's. Videos from my phone drive will play choppy sound while projecting pixelated chunks of video to the TV. Netflix plays sound but completely refuses to show any video. I will try setting my phone wifi frequency to 5GHz and see. My friend can cast his Samsung with no problem. Might be time to just get an HDMI hookup.

Mirroring my Gear VR in my home theater

So I got to thinking, I have the Samsung screen mirroring HDMI dongle on my home theater setup. I turned it on , mirrored the screen and put my Note in the headset. It then shows up on my 10 foot screen and I set my projector to 3d side by side and it works great. You can now have one person with the headset on doing stuff and everyone else can watch it on the big screen in 3d also

That's awesome! Wish I had the TV setup to do it. How's is a big projection screen in 3D?

Its decent mirroring quality on my 10 foot screen and in 3d just like the headset. It works great for when you have a first timer over trying it out cause you can watch what they are doing in real time, and guide them how to swipe and click on stuff or show them how to get thru the menu to try all the stuff. I have a Vivtek 3d projector that will put also put side by side image imput back together in 3d.

Can you point me to what you're exactly using? Is it this?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-All-S...reen+mirroring+HDMI+dongle&pebp=1418645351921

Thats it. Used 50% off coupon on Samsung's site last year for it

Chromecast works too - but makes the headset stutter in the photo 360 app is vr fluid while using the allshare dongle?

stupid question time....does the mirror show as 1 image, or 2 of the same images side by side (as in 1 for each eye)?

Ive been using chrome cast just to cast the audio since the video freezes. its a simple way to feel more immersed in the VR when the headset is on. Its not perfect but it works.

I have the same exact issue. Both my Roku 3 mirroring and my Netgear ptv will not stream smoothly. It looks choppy and terrible. Does the Samsung AllShare Hub solve this problem? Does anyone know?

On Youtube, type in the search for "Gear VR / Chromecast / Screen Mirror"
It shows how to enable developer mode and an additional window to broadcast the phone screen on the Chromecast. This should work for all dongle

Thanks I found the video. It's not in English but I figured it out. Activate the dev option "Simulate secondary displays" I chose 720x480dpi secure. Now the cast doesn't lag much at all and it is easy to follow by anyone watching the TV. I read some people have projectors that can do sbs screen and cast the vrs view perfectly.

Any way to get a video signal to the Gear VR?

I was just wondering if there was a way to get a video signal to the Gear VR (Playstation/Xbox etc.) ? I know it wasn't designed for that but obviously it would be really cool to at least be able to use it as a makeshift big screen, like playing in the movie theater.

Question Tab S8 keeps saying connected without internet - While using Youtube

As the title says, I only seem to have connectivity issues with my Galaxy Tab S8 when I'm using the youtube app. It will frequently claim connected without internet. Also that was with using an Arris G34 Gateway (modem/router in 1).
I can play Dragon Quest Tact for 3-4 hours straight or facebook or any other game really without it doing this. It seems that the second I switch to the youtube app is when it decides to do this, just got this thing about 4 days ago. My tab s6 lite, S20FE, roku streambar, xbox, alexa & lg tv do not suffer from a similar issue as this one... Is there an easy fix for this or did I just get a bad tablet?

I don't have the exact same issue, but did have for a couple of days the issue with youtube not wanting to load videos. When it eventually does, the quality is at the lowest format...changing the quality results in video not playing. I uninstalled the app, restarted the tablet, re-installed youtube and no issues so far
