The thing I had missed the most about my iPhone was AirVideo. But, now I have SubSonic for streaming my media content from my computer, and It works like a charm.
I am a developer, and I develop mostly in linux and with AirVideo I used to have to run my AirVideo server in a windows VM like VirtualBox. Not anymore, SubSonic server will work from linux, windows, and mac. So now, I don't even need to run the extra VM software on my linux media center.
AWESOME!!!!!
checking this out asap, i as well was missing my iphone for airvideo alone. hopefully conversion is just as slick with 3g/wifi balance and decent seeking.

how is it with streaming over 3G?
Streaming is flawless. I of course have the atrix 4g, which i hear is not real 4g, but the streaming quality is flawless. So far i have only tried this with my cellular data connection... but if it streams this well over that i can only imagine how smooth is is over wifi. It plays as though it is playing from a file directly from my phone. And it really rocks at streaming audio as well...

Hi, I have a problem and turns out to be that when viewing video with any browser experiment very low FPS it illogical that I watch video on my PC
These are the specs for my laptop
I hope you can help
PS: I have updated to the latest version available drivers

Well is an Atom n270 Netbook so don't expect it to play video without any lag, you could try to lower all effects on windows 7, or install a light linux distro on it, like lubuntu, then it will be a bit better.

Hi, is it possible to easily install Linux and run PVR and bluray player software (ISO or drive), with Linux USB drivers for bluray drives and USB tuners, like you can on the PC?
Another issue is, if it will be possible to buy linux UltraHD Bluray player software and get it to work. I believe there is currently none, but is there any on the horizon?
On linux, is it possible to do this as a bluray PVR with a Linux that works as a layer on Android, or with dual boot, as Ubuntu on Android was to work?
I was attracted to the Shield when I first saw it, but it does not do what I wanted. I have a bluray drive and multiple USB tuners laying around that I could use instead of buying a deficient Windows 10 atom ultra small media PC.
I would just like to say, if only Nvidia would support a windowed Linux player, or dual boot, on shield Android TV both in separate sandboxes, with Linux driver support for all USB devices, it would solve a lot of issues with Shield functionality, and protect Android apps digital rights and the OS. It would greatly expanded the shields user base. However, they could make available apps for playing bluray/bluray 4k, and pvr recording, supporting generic USB tuners and bluray drives, as Linux already does through MythTV and Kodi but not the Shield.

I think It's possible to make shield to support PVR, you can design your AP to do it. beacuse shiled is android system, it have common android interface.
Thanks for that, I'm here about developing something else. I'm just asking for advice (or feature request, what ever suites people). When I am up to 10 posts I can post a thread on that in the appropriate forum.

interesting this.
Yeah, I'm a newbie to all this, from back in the days that C++ was new and untaught I'll n my college. I'm interested in doing a video compression codec on Android for camera and very video. Shield seems like a good development target. So I'm waiting to ask over at developers rather than in n the wrong forum. Should be able to compress 4k even 8k, with small file and reduced processing overheads.

sure，shield tv codec performance is very good,4k maybe no problem.
But before this, I think you need to get frames from usb camera firstly. this need UVC knowledge.
Well, I'm interested in high end camera acquisition using Android, and Shield is a leading device. I don't need to acquire from a camera myself, but practice on uncompressed footage, and develop a streamlined codec for it and register it on the device as an available codec so any camera, editing and player can use it, then charge a fee per device to download it from playstore. I am going to be just fishing for information to see what I need to address. I actually want to develop it within JavaScript primarily for web and Firefox is use, so will have to find out the best way to transfer it to Android for compilation. As I know next to nothing about these new languages, it will be an uphill learning curve. I'd rather create my own language than spend so long learning another full of dross. As I can understand JavaScript syntax is separate from Java, and not a even a logical subset, which makes life hard.
So, with Android, previous high level camera projects have failed due to the underlying restrictions of the android camera interface and customisations from phone to phone, but also Androids slow nature. L and M address this somewhat, but for the codec I would probably have to write a backend to acquire the frames from the hardware to the codecs quick enough, which I don't want to do, but if I can't get frame data delivery fast enough I will have to look at it. I want to use gpu or other processing unit instead of the processor mainly, for power efficiency and speed, but realise nothing is simple. All that sort of stuff that you have to do because it was not done right in the first place. So, avoiding going through slower high end camera interfaces as much as possible. I understand it is all based on a standard Linux camera api. If the camera software does not have to rewritten and it can deliver frame data at streamlined timely speeds to a codec, then I can avoid much of this. Now, on the other side we have storage Hopefully the data rate can be small enough to avoid issues, but that is unlikely on a 4k-8k frame. Hmm, maybe I should just give up the codec was supposed to be a side project to test out what I want to do in JavaScript.
Anyway, it is a shame we don't have a kick starter like funding scheeme, to pay a good programmer to do most of the background stuff, and upgrade the Linux code and drivers, so anybody can use the new code with any codec and camera app combination. My main interest is my own codec, not all the other stuff, that is really fixing Android and linux camera code, which would help everybody.
Actually, I know a company that might be able to get interested in doing such open source back end work with under funding, but I don't know if they are skilled in that sort of thing. Vizzygig. I'll look at asking on the thread.
Anyway, back onto the Linux on Android bluray/pvr home theatre questions?
I have just set up a advice request thread for the camera codec project here:

I have a lenovo ideacenter q180, and cant for the life of me get netflix etc working on it!!!!! Kodi, likes to buffer. Android X86, makes netflix, skygo and amazon prime crash. Any ideas on if running the "Fire Tv Os" on a pc? Or a bit off topic, a solution to my problem.
No. FireTV OS is especially tailored for Amazon hardware and those devices are all based on ARM chipsets and not intended for x86 hardware. It is also not intended to be "installed" on a PC like Windows or Linux etc. or to be run just as a launcher on your existing Android x86.
I can't for the absolute life of me get netfix or any other streaming service run on my htpc!!!!! I tried android x86 but netflix and sky go crash (Haven't tried Amazon Prime). I tried kodi, can't get netflix or amazon prime on it, and it buffers... So. Mutch! I tried WMC but the netflix plugin was scrapped in the uk. So please, is it possible to run Nexus Players Software on a pc. Idc what it takes, just please help me.
Android OS is not like your typical Windows OS install. Google simply put out source code and factory image for Nexus hardware. Other hardware makers need to put together correct hardware drivers (from chip manufactures) to product a ROM image.
If all you want is just Netflix, get a dedicated stream box or upgrade to Windows 10 to use Netflix app.

Okay. I wanted Amazon Prime and stuff, but windows should do
PC is the last place you want to have these stuff. A smart TV, a BD player, game console or any stream box will have all the stream apps much better quality and easier to use than PC.
