My brother has bought that HTC USB connector (mini usb to 3 rca female... one for video + red and white for audio) to connect his Touch Pro with his car video in connector.
Can anybody tells me if I can have video out from the Diamond that I want to buy next week...
Touch Pro seems to big and heavy for me so I want to find out if Diamond has video and audio out to connect it to my car system also...
Thanks in advance
not 100% sure but think it only works on pro
and again not 100% sure but prev htc tvout's
been for powerpoint purposes meaning
they only gave 10fps
not enough for watching movies really
but as in both cases me not being 100%
should make you read up on the touch pro
tvout threads
and maybe search if anybody had success
using it on diamond
Video out is a feature specific to the Pro, it's not in the Diamond.
Hey there people , new guy here on these forums and I hope I can lend your expertise for a second!
The issue is like this :
When I plug in my Optimus 2x (P990) I can't get sound through to my TV!
Using a LG60PK250N , anyone have experienced this issue before?
My phone still plays the sound from the phone-speaker... but it just sounds **** from there. Would much rather have the phone working as it should be!
Using stock-rom , nothing really changed on the phone.
Any ideas?

Using the stock player??
For me the sound goes out of the tv and not the phone... (this is how it should be)
Stockplayer with a movie recorded with the camera =/.
Did you check the HDMI-Cable?
Does the HDMI cable support sound?? I didnt know HDMI cables had sound...

Not only sound, there are different versions of hdmi. With 1.4 there is also an ethernet channel available (for example)
Sent from my LG-P990
Gonna test the phone on another tv later today , will update if it's not working still.
Its because you play a video recorded by the phone
The phone only records audio in 1 channel AAC at 22 Khz samplerate and HDMI do not carry mono audio, only stereo audio at min 32 Khz samplerate
Try to play something else having stereo audio at min 32 Khz, a youtube music video, or some video you converted and transfered to the phone yourself and you should get sound.
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.
I have already got MK808 android stick, which is 1.2 GHz dual core with Mali 400 GPU.
After using it long as general purpose device, decided to convert it as media centric device, with 2.1 speaker setup
I am facing following limitations,
1. Not able to play HD/1080 videos smoothly
2. Tried USB sound card to connect it to 2.1 speaker, but quality is not good
So I started to look for alternate devices. I liked RPI 2 especially due to it's support, but before buy, I have some questions unanswered
1. Since I have 1.2 GHz device, I am just wondering with RPI 2 being 900 MHz, is it powerful enough device as media PC. Especially can we consider it for future proof (may be 3 years)? I am thinking because, I don't want to fall in situation to buy another device only after next 1 year due to RPI2 limitation.
2. When I add case, WiFi dongle, power cable, HDMI cable etc, it's going to about 75 USD. At this price, there are many choices like,
# Android stick MXIII, which seems more powerful with android support
# Dedicated media player like,
http://www.amazon.in/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=media+player
But I don't know, how to compare those with RPI 2 and conclude which one will be more powerful and future proof
Any suggestion?

I have been using Raspberry Pi 2 B+ for a month as media center with the Rasplex OS. I have tried 1080p, 720p and a few different formats like mp4 mkv, avi etc and they all work fine, even while seeking. The main reason for this could be that the processing/trans-coding of the video is done on the server(the files are not stored on Pi, and no HDD is connected to it.) This all works on a WiFi adapter.
If You can use Plex app on Your Android Stick and use a plex server somewhere, You won't need to buy a Pi. Although You would need to buy Plex pass to come over restriction in Android app I think.
Rpi 1 can run almost limitless video bitrate via smb share. But it has issues with very heavy audio since 1 pi's processing power is not great basically. But mines 1 still run movies with 10mbps video and 5mbps audio well. Above that it starts to buffer maybe its network bottlenecking. Audio quality via hdmi is great. I got a pi 2 just a while ago looking forward to test it with openelec. I have chromecast stick too i think that i wouldn't need rpi if i didn't had media at local share. Chromecast is far more better if u use only netflix, viaplay, youtube, popcorn, etc and can use it with android device phone/tablet.
Thanks for replies.
Has anyone connected it to 2.1 speaker system?
Because, that is my one of the aim.
Can anyone tell quality if connected to AV cable/stereo jack?
And, is it possible to get video through HDMI cable and audio through AV cable to 2.1 speaker?
Can someone, who already have similar configuration, help me out to build similar one.

Yes, it can output both video through HDMI cable and audio through AV cable at the same time.

How do you rate quality through AV cable out?
I believe, AV out doesn't give good quality as HDMI.
Through USB sound card on my MK808, I am loosing bass. Woofer doesn't give any sound.
I am worried, same should not be with RPI as I'll loose all fun of watching movies.
Anybody with 2.1 speaker setup hear?

HDMI is better. My 2.1 system is connected to my LG-tv, so i dont know what quality the 3,5 mm output is.

Unfortunately, my LED TC has onlu audio jack. So, if I connect 2.1 system with it, I get very low volume.
So, only option to get sound from RPI AV jack.
Can you check in your system with AV jack and report the difference in output?
Any though on
RPI2 vs MXIII vs MXQ?

Composite video out quality is pretty good. On OpenELEC, playing 720p live stream Russia Today. Output is classic PAL resolution. Image quality is better than 576p SD DVB-S thru SCART with good quality sat reciever. I have big old widescreen CRT Panasonic Quintrix TV.
If you play any 720p movie, quality will be comparable to DVD player with SCART.
I dont know how is your audio input for these 2.1 speakers. Just single 3 pole 3.5mm or also separate one for subwoofer? If it need 2 connectors then you need 5.1 sound card with (usually orange) center/subwoofer connector.
I think you should turn up your headphone volume on your tv

Ideal for local media or media on a NAS but not being able to access Netflix, Hulu etc (like you can on Android) might be a bit of a put off. Shame really coz the Pi2 is more than powerful enough to support these streaming services
Hi, I have just purchased an android double din from pumpkin, I have connected it to two screens in the back of my car, I can see DVD's when they are playing on the screens, but cant see when I play from either a USB or from the KODI app. Is there any way of doing this.
No solution so far
I am trying to do the same. I'm not sure of what the technical limitation is but would love it if someone can show u a software or hardware hack around this problem.
Not that helpful but in my recent research I found many of the units said that the video out only works with dvd. I am guessing the video path from dvd does not pass through the android side. With units without dvd no output there at all, connector just there for commonality.
It's a shame because the USB can be many movies and not played by AV /
I have the same problem. Is it possble to rewire the video out to the main screen of the head unit so the rear screens will just display what is displayed on the main screen
