Peripherals, Devices and Features Question - Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers

Hello all
Im thinking of buying either a mk809 or an mk908 and have a few questions:
1: I have an Atrix4g work and play kit (Bluetooth keyboard and mouse), would this work with the mk809 or 908?
2: The MK908 quad core is more expensive than the dual core, is it worth it? It would be used for playing ripped movies, BBC Iplayer, working on google docs and possibly running ubuntu, if possible.
3: I've just ordered a note 2 and would like to use allshare, I know that these device aren't compatible but will they work using DLNA?
4: Would they stream movies from my PC hard drive over the wifi network, assuming the wifi speeds were upto it?
Sorry if these questions have already been cover somewhere already.
Thanks for any help

My wife owns a Samsung i9000 and I have a Samsung i9300. We will obtain a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' P3113 next month. My initial idea was use it as a travel media player for my son, buying a car seat holder and a HDTV adapter. But I've readed P3113 has not TV out, so my questions are:
1) Is it possible tv out on P3xxx family via minijack-rca or usb-hdmi?
2) Is it possible to stream from the P3xxx to the i9000 or i9300 without a wifi router or 3G connection? I'm thinking in a hotel in a foreign country...
3) What is the "best" 7'' tablet with tv out?
Thanks in advance.

Short Answer:
No
Maybe
Not sure...
Long answer:
1. Android doesn't currently have drivers for external video adapters
2. The easiest way I know of to do this would be over wifi, but since a wifi router is out of the question, you should see if one of your devices can enter a wifi infrastructure mode. (This would effectively make it a wifi router without internet connectivity) you could then grab an http server off the play store and point it at your video directory.
There might also be a way to do this over bluetooth, but I'm not sure.
3. the Acer Iconia Tab A100 has micro hdmi built in. is it the best? Not sure.

You can try pulling out the antenna (black wire) ... It worked for me and now I have very good WiFI signal on my MK802iv ... be careful to not modify the mount on the end of black wire (yellow stuff and some kind of sticky shield)
... or you can use the ethernet connection via USB ethernet adapter ; I used it until I've done wifi antenna mod
before I did the wifi antenna mod, the device restarted every 2-3 seconds when wifi was on
can any other users chime in ? would love to hear about updating to 4.2 and if they have worked out the wifi bugs ? also is the antenna necessary ? if it worked with 4.1 why would it need a hardware mode with 4.2 to work ?
tanks,,
fun
[i have this one and works just perfect
I buy the ethernet usb port. Ill see wen aribed how it works.

Does the HDMI 5.1 Audiooutput work?

All MK802IV since 07/2013 have a new WiFi Chipset.
It is the same like in the Tronsmart 908 it is the AP6120 Singelband WiFi Chip.

I wonder if this new chipset provide better wifi than older one with modded antena (pulled outside the RKM box)
I have tested it and yes the WiFi Signal is better. But now we need a new CRom for it.

Mine came with Android 4.2. Had the Wifi issues. Worse was that the Netflix did not play properly due to DRM issues.The latest version played videos distorted... you can see only lines!
Some suggestions where to downgrade the Netflix. The previous version plays videos but it will get stuck every minute.

Got mine few days back and loving it. Too bad I cannot try NetFlix since its not available in our area. No Wifi issues....It's strong and I can stream all the videos from my NMT to my Home Theater enabled using MK802

There are various threads on the dedicated UK forum http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 about native Linux. I was intending to try it as I want audio passthough and real 1080p decoding
So is this device any good?
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if this device any good? or is the Amlogic 8726 MX a better option?
thanks

Ouya a good choice for XBMC at the price point?

I plan on primarily using it for XBMC. The support looks good, along with the price and specs. What do you guys think?
I think it depends on how you plan to access your media. If you plan to use a NAS, you might be alright; if you were planning to use an external drive from the USB port, you need to wait for the OUYA team to fix the problem with detection of the hard drive. Also, you may find yourself needing to use the gamepad to control the interface--if that's a deal breaker you need to plan accordingly.
Also, bear in mind that the XBMC for Android is still in early alpha!

As someone who had never used XBMC or Plex (or anything else like that for that matter) prior to this past month, I am so excited about how well XBMC works with the OUYA!
You sound like someone who has used it before. If you're familiar with the basics then getting the OUYA to run XBMC in (almost) flawless 1080p is...well...easy! With the release of an official version of XBMCHUB last week, I don't think I'll ever hook my laptop up to my TV again.
Going into the OUYA, I had no idea of it's potential as a do-all media center. I was hoping it'd have Netflix and flash content, but that's about as far as I had hoped, so I'm very excited about all of this.
At only $99, I've been hearing people say there is no better box for XBMC, but maybe other, more experienced people could chime in.

I'm not sure what USB port problem you mean? I am using a 1TB WD USB HDD and have no problems with read.
I personally bought the ouya strictly for XBMC. I've used xbmc streaming from smb shares since original Xbox and it was called Xbox media center. I still use original Xbox with xbmc and the ouya is its replacement. Xbmc works amazingly better on it even in its alpha state. Those guys are pros and I have every faith they will deliver on the android platform. The only caveats so far is that I'd like a remote control instead of controller and it doesn't exist yet. Perhaps in the future it will. I've set my ouya to boot directly into xbmc but like above poster said the USB support needs work and the issue with the ouya turning itself on when its asleep and not shut down. That's annoying. Also don't plan to use WiFi. Ouyas metal casing hinders WiFi too much for streaming video in decent quality.

I have a 2TB WD drive and a 3TB Toshiba drive, both using external power. With either of them if I plug in the drive light comes on and blinks but the OUYA doesn't mount it no matter how long I wait. One is formatted as FAT32, the other as NTFS. It makes no difference.
The workaround I've found (don't remember where I saw this originally) is to plug in the drive while the OUYA is powered off and unplugged, then do a system reset. After this, the external drive is recognized and mounted as /usbdrive and the light on the drive only flashes when being read from or written to. I can install XBMC, scan my movies and shows into the library, use the external drive for my emulator roms, etc, etc. It works.
The problem is if I remove the drive for any reason or if I get an update the drive is no longer recognized and I need to do another system reset again, add back all my games, reinstall XBMC and rescan my library (import doesn't seem to work for me) and hope that I don't have to deal with another system update any time soon....
That's why I'm not currently recommending the OUYA if people plan to use an external hard drive to access their media. I'm not the only one with these issues, if you Google for OUYA and external drive you'll see many others are having the same issues.

Ouya is stuck on 60hz framerate. So 24hz or 50hz files will have some stutter. Maybe stutter is not the right description, it's not perfectly smooth due to framerate adapting to 60hz. I have XBMC with hardware acceleration installed, it really is framerate conversion (or whatever you call it) that causes this.
I like XBMC on Ouya but prefer a media player that adapts its framerate output to the media file, like my Boxee Box does. You'll have a perfectly smooth picture. It really is a lot better to look at.
Using the XAF edition while I wait for Gotham to become stable for android. Works amazingly well.

Yeah, I read about that. Is that a limitation that can be fixed with development, or is it impossible?

I have a 1TB Seagate with which I used to have the problem with it not being recognized by my Ouya. Since then I have tried different OTG mounting apps. The best I've found is an app called Paragon which mounts USB drives to '/mnt/usbdrive' by default and has full NTFS read/write capabilities. Also it's automated so it mounts the USB drive at startup without any prompting. The only thing is it requires full root and superuser access. Not a big deal, but a formality nonetheless. Mainly I'm just saying that's there's simple enough workarounds for the Ouya's external hard drive issues.
Also the XBMC Android build found here (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152005) works great on my Ouya. Navigating using the gamepad may be a little clunky but the capabilities of using the Ouya for full media playback is already there. Hell, I'm working on turning an Ouya into a full-fledged internet/digital PVR box.
just got my Ouya yesterday and I had xbmc with the 0.6 release installed and the xbmchub fusion wizard thing installed. The issues I have encountered are typing on that xbmc keyboard with only the touchpad is a very arduous experience. Navi-x is installed alongside all the 1 channel stuff but this has a script error but does not stop it from working.
It does crash in navi-x but the speed at which this thing boots up and restarts is rapid so it does not cause that much of a headache, but dont forget that this info comes from less than 24 hours usage.
Overal i am happy with this device and the xbmc install but i would like a easier way of starting the software similar to netflix on the apple tv as the kids can play what they like and not get on my back.

There are two remotes for XBMC the official remote doesn't seem to work for me. But Yatse works well but drains my phones battery really fast. And as a response to a USB drive not working, I have a 2TB WD Passport for my Ouya that works like a charm.

I'm talking an IR remote that can turn the console on/off as well... I have the android app remote working just fine. the official one even.

Perhaps, but so far the OUYA has been the only Android device I've not felt a need to root and I'd like to keep it that way. Maybe it's just an artificial distinction, but to my mind if I have to root to get basic functionality then the OUYA ceases to be a console (plug and play) and becomes a small computer. If I'm to treat the OUYA as a small computer then I may as well simply run Cyanogen Mod and not waste any money with the OUYA games, because I'll be too busy mapping the game pad to play the many titles available in the Play Store. It becomes a silly, pointless waste of time and money, because I have several desktops which I can use on my television and had in the past been running XBMC just fine on those desktops with my 5.1 surround sound card and speakers.
I bought the OUYA because it promised me XBMC + Games + Android in a simple to use console. Most of those interested in the OUYA as and XBMC box are also people who've already run XBMC on their televisions via an old desktop or htpc, and want a console which will make doing this easier and standardized to just work. We already hacked together something on the desktop; we're looking for the easy button.
Otherwise, we'd have just bought a Midnight box or a Pivos....
I'd say yes.
I've got XBMC running on a load of devices, Raspberry Pi, Pivos Xios DS, Odroid U2, Nexus 7, HTC One X, Intel i5 w/ATI 7770... The RPi and Pivos are sluggish, the Odroid very buggy, the Nexus, One X and Ouya (all tegra 3) are very usable and provide nearly as smooth an experience as the powerful PC.
There are a few bugs still being ironed out but none are show stoppers. The current libstagefright build works nicely enough and will only get better. We should have an interim 12.2 build hit the Ouya store soon which will be mostly bug free and feature complete.
For remote the controller is ok and will be better when they finish key mapping it. You can also connect the ps3 bluetooth media remote which makes for a better experience. Other options are IR remotes that present as keyboards or the FLIRC device.
The main thing to bare in mind is that the Ouya is a pretty new device with lots of development being done every day, something like 10 OS updates in the past 4 months - give the devs time and we'll have a very nice little Tegra 3 box; I'm looking forward to seeing where we'll be in 6 months time. Not to mention the work being done on XBMCs side. A lot of core devs are working on supporting the Ouya as they all have the device.

I am also trying to replace cable TV with my Ouya and use it as a DVR. I would love some help, tips on getting it done.
* I have XBMC installed, but it doesnt see my network drives (shared drives on a Win7 PC), although all my other PCs can see them and use them?
* I planned on downloading the TV shows from 'sources' on the web, but wasn't sure how to setup auto gather new shows?
* I heard about Sick Beard and Coach Potato, but I never used them, I would love a guide or steps to help me set it up
* I wanted to get Amazon Video working too, since I pay for Prime, no official app, and I couldn't get a good Android one yet?
* Wouldn't mind having Hulu and Netflix too, I heard the google tv apks are best - any comments on that?
Anything you could help me with, would be very appreciated. I hate overpaying for Cable, and the service/quality sux

You can't blame the lack of XBMC support on Ouya, it was up to the XBMC team to follow through on that. Ouya only announced it was going to come to the Ouya because that's what XBMC said on their own website. They're finally working on an Ouya fork for the next XBMC release, probably integrating libstagefright into it (because those work best on the Ouya).
And you could've gone for one of those other boxes. They're around the same price as an Ouya. I was a KS backer but I supported it hoping, yet not expecting, some ROM dev support for the console. I know there's CM10 but I'm going to wait for better unlocking of the system before I go full custom ROM. Unless the custom ROMs have better overscan compensation support already (a huge issue with Ouya on my TV).

1) I don't use network shares on my XBMC Ouya setup right now. All video files are stored locally to the external hard drive I have connected to my Ouya.
2 & 3) I actually couldn't get the Sick Beard Android app to load on the Ouya. I ended up buying an app called PowerNZB which came with its own Sick Beard server. It's just not as automated right now as it would be on PC when used in conjunction with SabNZBd and I hope to see that change soon. I don't know if I can talk about what 'web sources' I use openly either, but you can figure it out. Also I'll just bluntly tell you to Google Sick Beard tutorials to get a better idea of how to use it.
4 & 5) No clue. I don't have any of these on my Ouya at all. Sorry if I'm not as much help as you'd like.

I don't.
As far as I'm concerned, XBMC has already produced a build for the OUYA which works quite well and which I expect to continue to get better and better. Instead I blame OUYA for being unable to (or unwilling?) to fix USB drive detection.

I appreciate the help
* at NssOne - Thanks, I do appreciate the help I wanted to use the network shares, that way I could have my win7 pc obtain all the shows and movies for me, using PC software, then place it on a shared network drive, where the Ouya could access them and play them. I figured that would be easier that having the Ouya run all that software and handle all those processes.
Which version of XBMC works best on Ouya, I saw several people post different versions, I know you need HW accel, but an exact file name or link would be appreciated.
Is Sick Beard better than Coach Potato? - I have never used either one? will they look for new shows and grab them for me?
Any one else trying to replace Cable TV with Ouya and XBMC? - Any advise, tips, software suggestions?
For XBMC Google the libstagefright version. And I don't know the difference between Sick Beard and Couch Potato. I've stuck with Sick Beard the whole time.

Android Mini PC for TV: I really dont know which one

Hi,
I thought to buy a Smart TV of Panasonic...but then i thougt best thing to do is to go for a "standard TV" + Android stick/device that turn it into a Smart TV.
My needs:
* Stream from my Desktop: If i have some movie - that i will be able to watch it on my TV.
* Use Internet & downlod directly from TV.
* NO crashes while using the basic needs.
* Use App's from Play store.
* That i will be able to install XBMC.
What are the top 2-3 models in up to 50-60$ +- USD?
Looking to buy some good Entry-Mid level product.
Read some about:
Rockchip RK3188
MK808 Rockchip RK3066
MK809 Rockchip RK3066
MINIX X7
Sorry for not digging too mach(I did searched), as i have a really bad concentration problem.
Thank you very much!
P.S: i have a Chromecast.
Never used it at all...but i gues it not the same, am i right?
It mostly to streaming from an Android device to TV?

I have Minix x7 and i think that the best decision is to buy smart tv devices only with RK3188 or 3066. i'll explain, you see that nowadays there are a lot of android tv-boxex, sticks which allow you to have a well realized function of smart tv - but if you also have this device with rk3188 in it's basis - you can even use special android apps. This apps give you an opportunity to control all the menu of your tv box or stick just with the help of you smartphone or tablet and s a simple and due to there is no need to buy additional expensive management tools.
Hi,
Thanks for the good answer!
If i understand - the TV box give a lot more the the smart tv or these sticks.
The question if it allow me to use Internet from a PC that NOT connected directly to TV?
Bc's i read that it actualy a REAL STREAMER ... allow to watch movies - which make me gues it stream it from the PC.
Am i right?
So i get also smart TV & internet that comfi to use & Streamer?
Do you think that something smelling bad in item?
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MINI...TV-Box-Bluetooth-XBMC-2G-16GB/2032407501.html
That is so nice.
Well if I may... I bring this matter up again, as I also am looking for some good rk3188 device and cannot decide which specific one?!!
My need is to have good wifi reception (though router is on same room) and to play at least 720p smoothly both for streaming from internet (via xbmc) or from another device of mine (android or pc).
I m not for gaming so I dont need any cpu-monster, instead i would prefer to be super portable, like a dongle, to have it with me always!

DVB-T

Any chance to use an USB DVB-T DONGLE with NEXUS PLAYER?
Maybe. You want "TV" on your Set top box ?
Software is the tricky part. Does this work ? : http://www.geniatech.com/pa/pt115m.asp
I recall a decent thread here on XDA somewhere but can't find it right now and seem to recall the app wasn't going anywhere too fast.
And there's at least one 3 star app on Play, but doesn't work for many people.
I'll be happy just to get FM radio, with SDR Touch or whatever...
thanks, can be a thing like that but I want to use any usb dongle that I want and not a single choose like that.
For example I'v build for my daily use, a mini barebone with a small debian distro with VDR, in this way I can play divx and dvb-t as I want but, if my dongle usb dvb-t for any reason broke........I can buy the first dongle usb that I found on any market online, compile kernel module for that dongle and put in usb port it, it's so simple.......
I love nexus player, 99$ about, remote control, android marke, playing game, youtube, and more infinite possibility, but at TV DVB side I want be free to use any usb dongle DVB for desktop pc as I made today
There's any chance to get, nexus player kernel, enable DVB module for dongle, put inside usb port of nexus player, and watch tv?
At software side, is need an app or Android TV S.O. is capable to manage DVB correctly?
Thanks in advance!
Do you have any other Android devices? If you're already comfortable recompiling a kernel to support your hardware, I'd suggest trying that on a different Android device first. Then you would know if the Android framework could handle such a device.
EDIT: Here's a link to the Android TV developer site about supporting live TV in Android TV. It appears it's designed around that being possible, so if you can add your tuner hardware support to the kernel I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to make it work within Android.
ok tnx
