Hey guys, so it just occured to me today, Wii Remote is Bluetooth... Tilt is Bluetooth... you do the math. To me this sounds like a realy good idea but I have not been able to find any thing usefull to make it work once I connect the two, can anyone help me out?
It's been talked over and over, but nobody got anywhere. I personally posted a thread on it a while back but nobody seems to have made any progress since nobody really seems serious about it. The idea itself is very nice however.
It's been done on PC, so yes it's of course possible. But that would be a load of work to port it on WM, and frankly what would you control with a Wiimote on a PPC? Play one day with it to wow your friends and that's it? Not really worth the time and effort...
Well, there's a few obvious drawbacks.
1. No practical IR sensor solution, so pointer's out of the question.
2. The wii-mote's about as big as the phone.
3. Drivers would need to be developed.
However, you'd be able to do the following.
1. Map the buttons to do whatever you want.
2. Play audio through the wiimote(if you so wanted).
3. Have one-touch program launching capabilities without grabbing your phone.
If you ask me, somebody should do it just for the sheer geekiness of it.
And also eventually a PS3 Bluetooth remote too.
There is a posibillity to get this work with few effort. It's a .NET Library which also should work on WM-Phones! Found it on Wiibrew.org or something like that...
would make it awesome for playing games you could play all the snes and megadrive games and it would be sooper cool! and easy to say the least!
not possible.
Wii remote has built in accelerometer.
you can however use the Wii remote as a G-Meter for you car when you hook it up to your laptop.

That's besides the point; we're wanting just to use it as bt game controller for playing stuff like Mario which afaik doesn't require any accelerometer.
@ kilrah, i would have to disagree with that. It'd be a whole lot of fun using since the bt game pads that are made for PPCs are so lame; i'd be playing on my device a whole lot more if i could use the wiimote.

1. You already have a large assortment of buttons accessible to program directly on the phone. If you need more buttons than your kaiser has, then just open the keyboard!
2. The wii remote audio is no better sounding than the audio built into the kaiser. Besides, just use your Kaiser to control your audio center on your computer!
3. What will you launch remotely on the phone that you will be able to see from a distance anyway? Seems to me that you would need the phone nearby in order to see what you are controlling anyway.
Total waste of time because there are NO benefits. Just more batteries to charge. No offense for picking on you but I agree with the previous poster. There is no beneficial purpose for trying to use a wii on a kaiser.
Reason for posting
I started this thread cuz i am running NES and GBA games on my TyTAN II and I would love to be able to play using the wii mote. I have been looking into it myself but to be honest I have about as much programming skill as a wet sponge.

Ive used several bluetooth keyboards that had way too much lag to try to play a game using the directional controls. I somehow doubt that a Wii remote would respond much faster . . . . . . .
Not to be a spoil sport. Hell AFAIK someone has already made the BT on the kaiser responsive enough to use . . . . .

I beg to differ; if you came from an 8525 to the Tilt, you'll see that the button placement for games is less practical. For the 8525, you could at least have your hands separated at length of the phone so that not everything was crunched; the same can not be said for the Tilt.
How cool would it be to have your Tilt tilted on the desk and you playing a few feet away? Pretty nice imo. To you there might be no benefits, to some of us, it opens a whole new world of gaming

Admittedly, however you will have to overcome the lag issue . . . . .
What lag issue?
Look 3 posts up
I have had 3 different kaisers and 3 different bluetooth keyboards. Ive tried playing many a game using directional controls on the keyboards and in all 6 combinations , there was too much time between the time i hit the key and the command was interpreted by the kaiser. IE, Controlling Mario in Super Mario brothers using NES emu, if i use the keyboard on the kaiser, mario controlled just fine. When using a bluetooth device mario took approx .5 seconds to start moving after pressing the keys. Thusly, he stopped .5 seconds after the key was depressed or jumped .5 seconds too late.
THIS is the lag i was referring to. I can ONLY assume its because of the lag / latency between a bluetooth device and the bluetooth radio in the kaiser.
ALSO, I tested this with multiple roms and radios, including changing the BT related registry settings.
**EDIT**
This lag may not cause an issue playing puzzle games like tetris ( until you get to the upper levels where reaction time really matters )
Hi I found the link: http://www.codeplex.com/WiiMoB/
hmm, there is such a Program for symbian and nokia n95 etc.
why should it not work on kaiser ???
I've searched but cannot really find exactly what I'm looking for so I thought I would make my first thread. This is the question, what can you recommend as far as Streaming Live TV via an Application or even using a Browser.
Looking for someones perspective that does a lot of streaming and has tested and perfected their process.
=p
I know you said this is your first thread........
So I will tell you before anyone eats you up, before making a new thread always do a search first. For 3 reason, 1st it will get people from getting mad and not end up giving you anything, second you might even find something esle that you like and for third you might even find what you are looking for.
All I did was take the 3 words from your sentence "Live TV Viewing" and did a search. And look what I found Click Here , and if this is not what you are looking for just keep searching............
I did not mean to come at you as a hard a$$ but just wanted to give you a heads up, just in case you need to post anything else.
@gsessons: That's hardly a good site in my opinion for live tv streaming. It's very hard to find some good streaming applications and sites, even for the computer. I personally use Orb (orb.com) to stream live tv from my computer (which has a TV Tuner that I installed). Orb is the optimal TV Streaming but you will need a TV Tuner to do so.
If you do not have a TV Tuner, SPB Online has several online streams - but none that actually interest me (they just updated the list of available channels a few days ago as well to add more).
Those are my two suggestions - you can search, but as you can see..it doesn't bring up the best results....
slingbox and slingplayer mobile
I use orb, too. You get all of your channels that have at home where ever you go. However you need to have a high speed connection at home and on your phone so no DSL at home. Also you need to install a TV tuner which isn't hard and I think you can even use a usb one.
I have ORB and Slingmobile.
For live TV, nothing is better than Slingmobile.
You get full control of your TV FAST on my sling while ORB live takes awhile to start, no remote control function on remotes for Ondemand channels and such.
Slingbox owns.

+1 Excellent
I agree. Slingmobile is amazing. I have had mine for about 3 years now and used it on a treo, mogul, and now my touch pro. the upfront costs are the only downside to a slingbox. it pays for itself in the long run.
Been looking at Slingbox and having everything DIRECTV has to offer it would make sense to hook that baby up to a Slingbox. =p
Can randomly find a cheap slingbox if you keep your eyes open I've just never sprung to the opportunity, thanks for the advice sometimes I forget you can sling to cell phones rather than just PC's or what not.
yep, Orb and Slingbox.
Hey guys,
I'm about to go on a huge road trip (San Diego CA to Washington DC) and my phone will be mounted in the window of my car providing me with directions via TomTom. Now I was wondering, does anybody know if it is possible to stream directly to the web? I would like to add a little "live webcam" section to my blog while I'm driving so people can see live what I'm seeing on the road. If anybody knows how to do this, advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
You can stream live using http://qik.com/.
It (usually) works well for me.
The vid can be embedded onto your blog too.
doesnt work for me...gives me a spinning wheel and just sits there...
I know what you mean - it takes a while to buffer up.
It works better as almost-live streaming; if you stop filming, it quickly catches up and the vid is viewable.
This is ok if you're taking lots of short films of a couple of minutes each but it might not be too practical for your purposes - you don't want to be messing around with the phone every five minutes while you're driving!
Ah well, perhaps someone will come up with a better idea - I'd be interested too.
lol your phone is going to melt with tom tom and the webcam streaming.
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.
Jim
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.
OK, need your help here, comrades. Got my hands on S6\S6 Edge version of Gear VR. But I have problems with screen mirroring. Tried:
-Pairing with Chromecast. When I use the phone only - everything works perfectly, but just as i'm plugging S6 into the helmet (or glasses, not sure how you peeps call it over here), everything works for 5 seconds, and then picture freezes (on the TV)
-Pairing with TV using WiFi Direct - doesn't seem to work at all
-Connecting via MHL (which Samsung dudes claim to be working, but it ain't)
-Sacrificing chicken, dancing around the TV, screaming "CTULHU FHTAGN!" for an entire hour (doesn't seem to work either)
An interesting symptome - phone was downloading bunch of updates, while it was - everything worked slow (I mean mirroring), with lags, but it was working. Just when everything updated... (see "pairing with Chromecast").
Any advice?
I have the same issues with my chromecast, when i had the note 4 with the gear vr it worked perfect, now i have the s6 edge with new vr headset and picture is delayed and freezes and if you play a movie on oculus cinema it just shows a blank screen on tv. This sucks because i want my five year old daughter to play and i cant direct her on what to press to watch or play games

so, i'm not the only one facing these problems? Good, together we'll find the solution. Maybe you have tried anything, that i haven't?
PWNED
Managed that bastard. Used mirrorop sender for Galaxy and mirrorop reciever for my laptop. Resolution is crappy - but at least it doesn't lag. PWNED!
