I ahve a hava platinum HD it will "sling" video to like 1 internet connection and 2 locals (I think, dont hold me to these numbers) I know it takes more connections than the comperably priced slingbox, I got mine used on fleabay for like 50$ it would be nice to controll my 500+ channel 250 hours SA2 tivo hak'd to the ma'x, and Id love to serve it up to my g1 in a long line or anywhere else I get bored, which is often.
one exists for the maemo hildon nokia N800 so maybe it wouldnt be a difficult port, it would be very cool and these boxes unlike the sling are very cheap, if HD is just 50$ imagine the deals you could find on a standard def unit, Id also like to see an xbox port of the same player, but thats a whole other discussion board, as it is it streams to PC, smartphone by MS, and windows media and xbox360(i think) so the standard is there to be sniffed if that helps any...

im in the same boat. i got a hava player a few months back, streamed it great to my old dash. then i got the g1. monsoon said they wont even start to develop a player until they watch the android market for a while to gauge interest..
i hope sling is getting their app out soon.... the petition is only growing
cool Im not the only one
I looked at prices and specs of slings and havas and the hava seemed to be the hands down winner...
if hava wont do it maybe somebody will R.E. it and we will get a hava player for anything we want, thats the reason HAVA needs to do it before the demand gets big, or somebody will want to stream the hava to sumthin they have thats not supported and do it themselves...
that almost sounded like a threat, but it wasn't....
bhang
edit:
an xbox version would be nice too....
dont need it. just install orb onto your pc where you normally watch your hava, and install opera browser on your android device. Set the default stream to 3gp and you can download a stream file that is about 700mb. Works great on my droid, but unfortunately the default media player does not use the full screen. The audio and vid is still great quality and the orb interface (mycast.orb.com) has a great interface for choosing the station you want to stream. I prefer it to the virtual controller of hava actually.

Has sold me on android for my next phone.
Now if WM7 gets Zune support...
I've had a Hava for around 2 years now, they say early next year, look for the app a year after that... They rarely hit target dates.
Unofficial Hava Player for Android: It's called Testtube

It's still a little rough around the edges, but it's great someone took it upon themselves to do this.

Thank you for this!!!! Just got my At&t Nexus and was thinking about my Hava player... I bought the app on my Iphone and loved it. This is going to be great... will install and give it a shot tonight. Assuming this works over 3G which will be a great advantage to the iphone player
TestTube Android HAVA Player
Search for TestTube on Market. I have a G1 and TestTube works great as a HAVA player on my phone. Setup was a little tricky. I had to port forward port 1778 on my router to my HAVA device. Other tricky piece of the setup was making sure I had the correct HAVA remote control code.
can not find the software anyplace....
Has anyone seen were it went to
I've been using testube for a while, using it for my titanium hd. I just heard that Monsoon Multimidea released the Vulkano app across many platforms and it's backwards compatible with the hava devices as well (not just the new vulkano devices). Its a free app, and though I havent used it yet, its seems just like what we've wanted.
Fellow iphone users have mentioned to me that the Vulkano app does infact work with the old hava devices.

Hi I have been trying to decide if I should by this myself by reading reviews and such but, I plan on rooting the device and installing different launchers and apps and I realize this completely changes the nature of the beast. If you could answer a few questions for me it would be greatly appreciated.
1. How fast/laggy is it. If I install launcherpro will it still work well.
2. How difficult is it to get movies encoded for it and how do they look.
3. Has anyone tried installing news apps for android (NY Times, BBC,CNN ext.) Also is netlix possible?
Thank you
1. I tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and Zeal and there is no lag in any of them. I did settle on Zeal for now.
2. I have about 10 movies that I had encoded originally for my evo and they all play great! Just the simple settings in handbrake will work fine.
3. I have USA Today on there now as well as the engadget program and both work great. Haven't tried netflix, don't have a account.

Thanks m8 thats actually a lot of helps a lot. IDK if netflix will work because of all the copyright and DRM but everything else sounds like good news to me. Now if only some could figure out how to get this thing to accept Adhoc networks from my cell phone that eould be great. If anybody else has something to add fell free to go right on ahead.
I actually tried Zeal and didnt like it. I had to put a bunch of icons down in the doc bar to get the doc launcher (the button with all the dots) in the middle where I like it....unless I missed something and dont know how to do it.
I have a huge library of HD (720p BD rips) and SD (DVD rips) movies and TV shows in AVI and MKV containers, will I be able to stream these video files within my home network? (without transcoding)
I'm glad there was already a post for this because I didn't want to create a new thread for it. I was one of the elocity a7 preorders who just had their orders cancelled. (all of us did, elocity insists it's a system error-I call BS) Anyhow i'm trying to decide between the nook color and the gtablet. I really wanted a tegra, but I really wanted a 7 inch device. I know they're not really the same thing, and maybe shouldn't be compared- but can anyone offer some insight as to which they personally prefer? Thanks.
OMG don't get the viewsonic G Tab... I had it for 1 day and had to take it back. Absolutely the worst screen I have ever seen on a device. The worst viewing angles. The nook color is wayyyyy better in my honest opinion and is really fast enough.

Ok, cool. Thanks alot. I really wanted a tegra...but the NC is the form factor I wanted, and I read nothing but great things about the screen. Just wanted to hear from other geeks whether or not i'm going to end up making a huge performance sacrifice or not.
I had a gtablet too and it really was the worst, even rooted and running a special tegra kernel. The nook is amazing and nearly the perfect tablet for me.
If you are asking yourself this question and seriously considering getting a nookColor, keep in mind that B&N has a deal that ends Sunday if you buy $100 in gift certificates you will get $10 back in gift cards (that are activated the day after christmas). I took advantage of this and bought $300 and got $30 in gift cards back which I'm going to use toward accessories (easel case I'm [email protected]). You may want to double check with your store but the manager at the store I went to allowed me to do this (after reading through the 'terms and conditions' on the website he said there was nothing that said it couldn't be done)
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/gift-card/index.asp?cds2Pid=32280
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/help/help_cds2.asp?PID=32063&popupclose=0
The terms say the gift card has to be bought on b&n.com, but the manager said the promotion was running in-store too so it didn't matter.
So the nookcolor, rooted, is a pretty decent slate/tablet?
I want the nookcolor mainly as a tablet: surfing the web, reading reddit, loading .pdf's of books/medical journals/textbooks to read and study from.
I was originally waiting for the archos 101 for $300.....but it seems like it's never going to come out.
The other thing is, since the nookcolor's screen is made for reading, will there be less eye-strain than with other tablets ( ipad,gtablet,archos 101?)

I was wondering this exact same thing, how does this fare as a cheap tablet?
I've done plenty of tweaking and modding with my nexus one so I'm no noob there - is this the deal of the century for someone like me? From what I've seen with a new launcher this thing turns into a serious galaxy tab competitor.
If anyone has any negatives they'd like to list please let me know - I'll probably be buying one of these in a few days.
We are two peas in a pod my friend.
The archos is only $50 more with HDMI,usb ,and a stand. But isn't available yet.
But if the NC screen is better for long-term reading....... who knows.
aaahhh.
Hi everyone, I am seriously considering buying a Nook Color as I really like it's design (something important for me), and want a Tablet device. And at 250$ it sounds like a really good deal. (The Archos 101 here in Greece costs 330 euro -> 440$, so the Nook is considerably cheaper)
My main usage will be: Reading pdfs and watching some .ppt files (I am a senior electrical & computer engineer student and want the Nook for studying), some Web Browsing, and if it is able for some MSN messaging..
Also, I wanted to ask you if it is capable of doing something:
Let's say you are reading a .pdf on your Nook. Is it possible to "handwrite" anything on the .pdf, like you are writing on a piece of paper, and save the file? That would be extremely helpful when studying.
Is there any application that does this?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

While the NC supplier (B&N and it's mfg'er) have a limited track record, the record of Archos is pretty clear ... roll out products that target the 'latest trend' with software that is usually not ready and move on to the next latest thing within a very short time leaving a trail of unsupported devices. If you can live with buying a new thing from Archos every 9-12 mos and knowing support will be GONE after that then go for it.
As said the Nook may not turn out better, but it can't be worse. It has an up-to-date system now, larger memory, better viewing for it's primary mission. (A70 just getting 2.2 and who know what bugs with it; A101 still not available, what does THAT tell you?)
If you want an android multimedia device then the Archos family may be a way to go, but evaluate it against multimedia devices since that is Archos' focus (assuming they have one), not reading and/or tablet functions.
Probably most people on this thread have reading as a primary, tablet second and entertainment third. The screen is really great, pdf reading is real good other than the swipe down instead of swipe sideways, with the Dolphin browser, root, su, multitouch what's not to like? ... did I mention the screen is great?

Don't know of any android apps that allow document editing, however if I wanted to annotate a pdf doc, I would put it in my Calibre library, convert it to ePub, load it on the NookColor and annotate away ... .. Calibre is a free program and VERY useful for ereading.
As for foreign sales, don't know a thing ...

Am thoroughly enjoying my N7, as I imagine, you are yours!
Here's a quandary I'm facing: I am an Amazon Prime member, and enjoy their video selection--both the free and for sale/rental. I mostly use Linux on my PC's. Amazon's streaming video uses Flash, which works fine in Linux, but not on the N7. I've thought about Netflix, but they're not (and probably never will be) Linux-compatible. However, Netflix is very Android/N7 compatible. All that put together, means I can't find a streaming service that works the way I do.
Anyone else in the same boat? What are you trying as a solution?
I was able to get flash working using Firefox and flash (both were side loaded) I found some helpful information searching on xda on how to get that working. Results have been outstanding for my friend who logs into a flash enabled site for realtor work. Haven't tested amazon videos yet but i will. Important: Chrome does not support Flash and the plan is that it never will.
Netflix works great. I sometimes really hate their isn't more selection. I keep it because my Dad uses it.
HBOgo doesn't work yet. I will be watching for a update because i have Directv and will install it as soon as it is available.
I already pulled some DVD's over (Star Wars, Finding Nemo) Handbreak and other software to get that on the nexus 7, looks and sounds fantastic. Everyone at work went crazy when they saw Emire Strikes back running.
I haven't tried or researched true streaming from my pc on my home network yet. I think that would be fantastic since I have a lot of content stored in avi's and other formats.
So far my tablet and my wife's are just amazing. She has the 8 Gig and I have the 16 Gig. We have both had ours since Tuesday.
I still am on the fence about the damn NexusQ. I would really like one but for 299.00 it just seems like I could buy another nexus 7 or something else instead. If that thing supported more than 2 speakers on its own I would have probably have tried to setup the extra speaker set I have in my office with one of those.
We need to get a really good software suggestion for nexus 7 thread going. Freenote, Moon+ reader, Cloud print, Sprinkle free have all been useful or fun to try. Sketchbook mobile works great. I am waiting on a screen protector before I try drawing with my dagi stylus.

In regards to Handbrake what format did you choose when converting the video. I'm guessing it was an avi?
Apple tv 2 is what i pick when I use handbreak, I noticed on the tablet while watching the movie that there are a few sounds streams, pick the 2nd one and you should be able to go higher on the volume.
The files are converted to m4v format and if you put them in the movies folder they show up and run right out of the google play list in the personal videos tab.

well instant video on amazon works in firefox with flash loaded. I'm watching the preview on amazon for 21 jump street.
The full DVD in vob files pulled to my desktop computer is what I start with when using handbrake. I am using a decrypt program to pull to my desktop. Using apple tv 2 option in file mode I am getting m4v format as a result. I need to try some avi files and see what I can come up with as a result.

Is it really the same as the Nexus Q? My reason for wanting to buy a Nexus Q (which isn't available in the UK), is as a party jukebox music hub, but reading the Android Transformer website, it doesn't seem to do much other than movie streaming...
The closest I have found is PlayMySong Android app.

No it`s not the same as the Nexus Q. It`s just streaming the screen content from your nexus 7 to a display.

Great thanks bud, currently bidding on a Raspberry Pi as we Speak
why do i need an extra firmware on my N7?
some software for windows/linux would be fine - already have a htpc.
I prefer using the YouTube app on the ps3 control by the nexus 7
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
You need extra firmware because they are trying to get the lowest latency possible so it just being an app wouldn't do. Although they didn't mention gaming in the youtube demo so I assume in it's first version it isn't capable of that yet.
I'm hoping they (or someone) can make a patch for other roms and I also hope this becomes a common feature for all roms.
Yes this is very similar to miracast and they even said when the miracast spec is finalized, they will modify this to be in spec.
Yes you currently need a raspberry pi, but they might write a linux client down the road. Hopefully other projects start on that, maybe a windows client too.
cant you just twonky your photos/vids onto your tv

Ah ok, thank you!
I talked to the devs a couple months ago when it was only working on the Nexus S. They said you can capture the stream using VLC as well, but it is complicated to set up.
When I get my replacement N7 I'm definitely working on that!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm surprised some people are dismissing this. The nexus Q only streams content that you have in google play, it streams nothing from your actual device. Twonky et al stream stuff to a media capable device (e.g ps3) in formats that the receiving device support. Your ps3 can't play that mkv file? Well it's not playing. ps3 doesn't support the subs you have? You're not going to see them. Want to stream a game to your ps3/tv? Not happening.
Think of this more like wireless hdmi. Whatever is on your device you can stream to your large display. It's basically miracast but it's available now. In their earlier demos they demo'd streaming games but I guess/assume they haven't gotten the latency low enough yet.
And as another mentioned, you may be able to stream to a pc with vlc or another player. The main thing is hardware decoding on the pc end for lowest latency. Not sure what decoder chip the pi has but if that was in a pc already, it would make a port easier. So down the road, a pi wouldn't even be needed, not for streaming to a pc hooked up to a large display anyway.
Two things bugged me about the nexus 7: no hdmi and no sdslot. This would solve one of those issues.
Again, I hope this spreads to the other roms and becomes a default option that all of them have.
I was reading more on their website and the current transmit time is around 200 ms which is a little disappointing for games anyway. But another cool featue is it utilizes android beam to stream to another android device.
I have the same functionality with my Galaxy Note 10.1 to my Samsung LED TV... It's a cool feature.
I've already got two Raspberry Pi's... will be looking at this tonight.
See it clears the Nexus 7 but not sure if that is the unlocking of the bootloader (which is already done by me) or also the software. Will look when I get more time.
Got the RPi's for this function originally!
this is cool right now i send youtube/etc from n7 to my rasbpi xbmc using the yatse remote app...
hope they build this into one of the pi xbmc builds...

Lastly, does anybody know if it upscales to 1080p, or is limited to the Nexus's default resolution?
It would be interesting if it could upscale to a higher resolution but I kind of doubt it. My understanding is it's basically making a video on the fly of whats on your screen and then decoded on the other end. So I would think it would be 1:1 regarding resolution. However, it would be nice if there was a option to lower resolution to try and lower latency or increase framerate for gaming. Might not hurt the image too much although text might appear more fuzzy. But there may be a performance penalty simply by scaling the source image.
I don't currently have a pi yet but if anyone has tried it let us know how it went.
Oh, and I didn't notice you can already use this with vlc
vlc rtsp://<Asus-Nexus-7-IP-Address>:9000/android.sdp.
Too bad it doesn't transmit sound yet. Hmm, I do wish it was an app but understand why it's built into the rom. Given this was released same day as 4.1.2 I assume this is built on 4.1.1 but I don't see that mentioned on their site.
I've always error with video addon installation
this is the log http://pastebin.com/DtbedC6e
Which add-on is it?
Stream on Demand or Exodus

I am using Kodi 16.1 and SPMC and have used Exodus, Genisis, Phoenix, One Channel and others, all flawlessly. I never heard of stream on demand. The mutts nuts and the mutts nuts reloaded error for me.
BTW: I am rooted.

What is SPMC? Stream on Demand in an italian addon for italian channel, sorry XD
How you install the addon? Probably i do something wrong. Sorry for my bad english, i hope you can understand me
Ps. Is helpful the rooting of remix mini?
Pps. i've found SPMC, today i'll try it
Keep us posted. SPMC is a streamiline buikd of Kodi. I am using the latest built on 16.1 I think
Rooting is a bit challenging because of the way it has to be done. Is it beneficial? Well you can delete some bloat and add other apps. I am still tinkering, but you can also break your system. There is no cutom recovery and I am not sure if bootloader is unlocked. I am just learning to mess with android so it is fun.

Oh, good, you're here! I have Jarvis (16.1?) from google play store, see on semperpax your 16.3.0 SPMC. I know you like the Nvidia Shield (should I get it if it's gonna spend most of it's life as a Kodi machine? Oh, and MLB at Bat device, really important as the Mini only gives basic android app while my ancient WD Live Plus box has a richer version with "Skip to inning" and "watch from beginning" on live games and jump forward button for commercial breaks without having to scroll or fast forward just tap button (I hear but not sure the Shield does that too) so get the Shield or not (it's so damn sexy while the Mini and WD are basically doing their jobs and there is no native keyboard with the Shield)?
Back to question: Does SPMC have any advantage for the Mini?
I see on semperpax that abilities are added to Shield and I don't have a fancy sound system, just soundbar (Vizio).
Currently using TDB Wizard Zeus Build. Is that the right one for Mini? Says it's for 2 GB devices. Everything working. But since you build/use the SPMC, gotta believe it's good. And we are talking koying SPMC?
Simple: Is koying/SPMC better on Mini than the Zeus build (or something like it)?
Also, does the Mini main screen being on a lower resolution (so the icons are bigger and easier to click with air mouse) affect the Kodi screen and movies?
The Kodi icons seem to be the same size either way but sometimes seems like HD stream is better when Mini set to 1080x1920 but could be wrong as streams vary so much.
Once again, does the Mini resolution setting affect Kodi?

Did you ever find good reasons for rooting? I've been able to sideload anything I've wanted (though I still wish I was able to move MLB app from WD to Mini (not for me directly but my wife is much happier when she has her baseball, so yeah it's for me, too)).
And lastly, if I give in to the sexiness of the Nvidia Shield, will the remote work wonderfully (wife, remember, baseball, chick tv shows) is there any point in getting the 500 GB model if I have 3 extra 2GB hard drives with a cheapy external reader, not NAS (though I've used none of them since Kodi streams but have thought of setting up PVR function for F1 races)? Oh, and I've seen folks trying to run PIA VPN on Shield (for baseball blackouts), with varying results. Any experience?
Wow, thanks, I've unloaded so many of my little streaming doubts, are you "oncouch" like a therapist?
Rooting allows use of some programs to clean bloat, or rearrange system etc. All not mandatory but I like the freedom. Also using apps2sd pro to move apps to SD card re d . Adblocker and others need root. Some was built for Android not PC so it is smaller and optimized for our hardware.
