Using my amazing new HTC One Black to control my TV and it is great, however a lot of things I watch are played through VLC on my laptop and output to my TV via HDMI.
I noticed on ebay you can get these really cheap remote set ups for computers via USB..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280825953122?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
What i would like to know is do those computers remotes work any good? Would they control VLC? And could I emulate the remote with my HTC One???? All I actually want it to do is play, pause and stop really so that I can do those things without having to get up and go to the computer just to pause it etc.
Anyone know???
Thanks
Try Unified Remote matey, Got a Mousepad and Keyboard, but also loads of quick setting remotes that try different stuff like Media Centre, Shutdown, Volums, etc etc. I think there is one for itunes, VLC etc too.
Source? I use the pro version. Works with Bluetooth and Wifi.

Thanks that will probably work but does mean 2 different apps...
Would be nice if i could control the TV and play/pause the film I am outputting from the laptop via the HTC One remote app...
I will try the unified remote though, thanks again.
I suppose if the laptop has an IR Blaster mate, would be possible. As one setting in the In house remote app has microsoft. . . Ud prob need an ir blaster from a Windows Media Centre remote, Honestly though, try Unified. Its Brilliant!
Just installed it.. so easy.. already had a film playing and can now play/pause etc with my phone and HTC One TV remote is just one tap away.. outstanding... thank you very very much.. this is so good...
Can you setup the TV app from windows media centre?

Hello sir, I have installed unfied remote on my pc and my mobile but don' know why in my mobile I can't see the server.
I have also tried manually but nothing helps.
Please help.
Thanks..
Does anyone know a solution for remapping or reutilizing the Bluetooth AVRCP control buttons for a set of bluetooth headphones (LG Tone HBS-700 specifically) on the LG stock ROM? All I want is for the play/pause, forward/previous track buttons to work on my headphones with the SiriusXM app. I came from CM11 and it worked perfectly there. When SiriusXM was playing, the buttons would affect it, and so forth with other music player apps when they had control. Now that I'm back on trying stock ROM, it of course doesn't work because LG's ROM is a piece of junk. Any recommendations?
App in play store called media button router allows you to designate a specific app to be controlled by bt devices.... it's free, maybe that'll do the trick for you

I didn't know about that app! I downloaded and installed it, and unfortunately, it isn't recognizing SiriusXM as one of the music players on my phone. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Maybe email the dev and ask if he'll add it to the app list... couldn't hurt to try.

Not a bad idea. I'll try it!
Sorry to resurrect a zombie thread, but has anyone found a KK ROM with functional AVRCP play / pause support? Media Button Router is a viable alternative for me on 4.3, but does not work on 4.4. Development of the app had basically stopped from what I see... Thanks for any suggestions.

The only ones I ever found to work are AOSP-based, namely Cyanogenmod, but I'm sure any AOSP-based KK ROM would have fully functional AVRCP support for whatever application you're using, provided the application utilizes the system's audio player.
Hello.
I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).
why don't you share what you found as an alternative?
Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.
Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n

Hi Everybody,
My question is clear : i'm looking for a music browser for gear. I mean that when i play my music (songs inside my phone, not in my gear) i can controll it from the gear (stop, play, back, next song) but i don't know how to browse my music library directly from my gear, which could allow me to choose (from gear) the single or album i want to listen to (in my phone's music library). Does anybody know an app or some soft that could make it possible?
Thank you very much! :laugh:

Thank you very much for your answer... But it seems to me that Spotify works only with 3G or Wifi network, and i'm looking for a bluetooth link in order to work even if there is absolutely no network available. And a solution that works only for songs stored in my phone. I'm not sure there is an answer to my question, but thanks again for your help!

I can't think of a way to easily browse your playlist via Bluetooth..... however selecting an album or song is theoretically possible with the use of a lot of tasker.

Well i know that it's possible because an app for Gear S works that way... With a tasker, yes, but i think it would not be easy to make... I'd like an app simple and ready to use, the same that exist for Gear S (unfortunately it's a Tizen app so it can't be used for Gear 1).

Hi there
like the title of this thread,
i want an application wich allow me to Mirror my android phone screen to another android tablet or tv box
i search on the Play store but i don't find what i need.
so can anyone help me !!!
regards
Samsung devices can do this via SideSync. I went out of my way to get a phone and tablet so I could use the mirror/remote call/file transfer functionality. Recently LG copied this, so if you have an LG phone and tablet you may also be in luck.
You should probably check the list of devices that support the Chromecast, or consider MHL for output of your phone to a television via an adapter cable.

After long search i think that it's not possible to mirror All the screen of the phone to another android device beacause
it's should be a protocol like ,DLNA or Miracast ... wich is possible with a dongle wifi display.
but i found two applications wich allow us to share content between devices:
1_ the first aplication is Screenshare:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.springdesign.screenshare.browser.server
2_The seconde application is EZcast screeen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionsmicro.ezcastrx
you can watch the video to know how it works
If both devices are rooted you can get full Chromecast functionality (well, mostly. a few things like Netflix don't and likely will never work) using the Cast receiver port that's on this board along with the Xposed module to disable the signature date check on the device that's sending the Cast, works for me.
Thank you but i don't understand very well
can you please explain what shoul i do step by step?
Regards
I can recommend to use my app Screen Stream Mirroring :angel: , here is the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
I recommend it not only because I am the developer, but because the app was initially made for this.
You can use VLC for Android as receiver or any other RTSP player.
I will also release very soon a player for Android with good additional features.
Just ask if you have any question.
How it works?? there is no instructions!
please explain step by step what i should do?
Download allcast receiver to your tablet and allcast to your phone.
vnc method (root)
Try droid vnc server from the play store(this requires root access) on the device you want to mirror and get a vnc viewer on the device that you want to connect to the vnc server and this will mirror your screen
hi i owned galaxy note 3 phone and recently just bought galaxy tablet note 10.1.

search yueye and download two apps called limitless remote and limitless server. The server app will host a server so every devices on the same Lan can pair up with, but you need to root your server device or the display will be blank, the client device which is the controlling side do not require rooting. You can also download a limitless.zip from the original website to install it in any window os, you can even remote control your pc when you host a server there

If you have a quite recent Android version it should use hardware encoding so you should be able to stream any game... up to 60fps since Android 4.4.
You can check in app preferences if hardware encoding is enabled.

I was going to try your app, but the reviews on Playstore are dismal. Possibly the most negative reviews I've ever seen for an app. So I won't bother, because as in most apps, there are dozens more.
You really should consider trashing the app, fixing it (apparently you have an insane number of ads in the free version) and re-releasing it under a different title. Word of mouth, or in this case, thumbs is everything in the dev world.

I just tried the screenshare app on my Samsung Galaxy tab SM-T350 and a cheap little LGL15G. It works perfectly. I only tried it on my home wifi network, but it streams fast, installs easy and best of all, its free with NO ADS
