DVD rippers - i must be an idiot

i've tried about 10 different types of rippers and encoders. and they either just don't work at all. or fail to rip 'protected media'. the closest i've come is wondershare pocket dvd studio. it's very barebones but at least it will let me copys some of my DVDs. of course the real iteresting ones it barfs on,i have TCPMP, XP home edition. i'm just not having any luck. i mean i just tried CloneDVDmobile, it looked good but ui was getting media error on DVD's that dvd studio had aready ripped. i'm missing something if it's only insanity

Wouldn't you be better asking in a forum about DVD's etc?

Universal Remote Control with Hermes any success anyone?

Could anyone give me an info on how to use the hermes as a remote control. I was able to use my amazing phone before as such, wanna do the same with hermes but the universal remote via bluetooth can't work in my unit..
Hope someone could help. thanks

There's a commercial app that is supposed to be really good. It's called VITO Remote II or something like that. Google it, there's a trial version I think.

my personal experiences with vito are not good
search for novii remote deluxe! very easy to setup an customizable

use novi remot
hi, novi remote works a treat, you can set up macro's, learn from other remotes ie xbox dvd control, set up a custom "remote" all good.
The bad...well distance is not real great, and novi needs to make your screen turn upside down as the ir port is on the bottom.
hope it helps
google it and you will be ok. or pm me
cheers

The HDTV Frame station could it be used as TV-out device for PDAs??

Hi guys ...
when you plan to buy a full-feature pocket pc and tried to search within the latest released models at least you find one or two feautres missing that will ruin your plans ..
I was lookingforward to own the HTC HD , it has all the specs I want except the TV-out ?!!
I don`t know why they didn`t include it like the previous model touch pro , any way I seached the web looking for what you can say an external TV-out that could be plugged to USB port ..and found one in this site : http://fashionstar.en.alibaba.com/p...48/HDTV_Frame_Station/HDTV_Frame_Station.html
so as I mentioned before in the topic , will it work with pocket pcs cause they said in the their website :USB interface:Can be connected to U-Disc,Camera,Mobile,etc...
thanks in advance //

no replies until now !!

maybe..
if the tv works as usbHost it should be able to access the mass storage controler and access the media
but it would be the tv desiding what it could play in terms of video and music and powerpoint and the likes
and i would prob not depend on most tv's being able to support that much and
maybe not at a high fps
so it's really not any more tvout for the device then it's a tvout for something like
an usbKeyring with memory

I`ve uploaded the PDF file describing the features ..

After take a look at the manual, it looks like it can access the multimedia files stored on your PDA and play them.
This is different to a TV-out PDA, that plays on a TV an exact replica of what presenton the PDA screen.

Nvidia Shield Capabilities- UK based User

Hi,
First time on this forum and am looking for some advice if possible? I am looking at getting an Nvidia Shield TV (either for Christmas if a relative is feeling generous, or if not will buy one after) Ideally, I want it to replace all the kit I've got and make it my main TV box, but the important thing is it's good (and easy) enough for the kids and wife to use without getting angry at me
Currently I have a Now TV box, Youview box, DVR box, and DVD player, with a Soundbar (I'm based in the UK, so in case there is any confusion, Now TV is a Sky over network offering, and YouView is BT's set top box) So loads of different remotes, I do have a Logitech Harmony, but think the Shield will be a very good option for me.
Now I know, that I can't get it replace everything, but if I can get it close enough, and have gaming capability too, I'll be very happy. So, questions are as follows-
1. Live TV -
I have looked through the forums, and see that there are some USB tuners that work with it, as well as this -
Not allowed to post the link, as it's my first post, it's a HD homerun, available on Amazon. If anyone knows of a cheaper alternative, that would be great.
Which all look good, but I need to be able to record and have good EPG functionality. Has anyone tried these, is recording possible, to either a networked server, or an external USB 3 drive?
2. Now TV- Is there an app available for this, or are you able to Googlecast it from Ipad, Android phone, etc?
3. BT sport App- anyone been able to cast BT sport to it?
4. Gaming- I will probably sign up to the Nvidia streaming service, as my home desktop is not particularly powerful. However, I would like the flexibility of using my home PC as a game streamer. Does anyone know the minimum specs needed to successfully use a PC to stream games to the Shield? Does anyone have a preference Nvidia streaming, or home network gaming?
5. Would like to install Kodi on it for media streaming? Anyone have experience of this, does this work well?
6. This is certainly not a deal breaker, but anyone know if it can integrate with Philips Hue Lights, and Nest thermostat?
I know there's a lot of questions here, I have trawled through the forums and found a few answers, just need to get it all clear in my head, so any advice/info gratefully received.
Thanks
Dan

Hi, I'm from the UK too. Most of your questions are about paid streaming services which I don't use, so I can't help you there. As for minimum streaming PC requirements, I bought a GeForce laptop, which is more than capable of playing the games which I want to play. However I later found out that GameStream is restricted to GTX cards only (even the oldest GTX cards, but not even the latest non-GTX). Nvidia kept that quiet. I completely regret spending the extra money on what I thought was a GameStream ticket. There are alternative game streaming services which do work without GTX (even without Nvidia graphics at all) but they're quite buggy and not very polished.
I haven't used it extensively but Kodi runs as smoothly as you would expect on the hardware (exceptionally smoothly). As for replacing your current setup, I've heard that you can hook up a USB optical drive and play DVDs (but not Blu-Rays) through KODI. However it lacks many UK streaming services, like Channel 4, Channel 5 and ITV. So you might want to keep the Now TV box around for a little while.

Great, that's very helpful. Thanks. I plan to integrate it slowly, so that might work well. Is there another game stream service you can recommend?

hdhomerun can that run sky services?

M6+ Pocket Dlp Projector with Android 4.4.4 unpacking & first test

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EO9r9R1FGg
Got myself a 'made in China' pocket projector.
It only has the size of a phone and has a 5000mah battery so it's easy to enjoy a big screen everywhere.
(A full battery gives about 2 hours and 15 minutes of projection time at full brightness and the projector easily goes over 100 inch in projection size)
It has Wifi & Bluetooth, 2 usb connections, an infra red receiver, a hdmi out, earphone/line-out and runs on Android 4.4.4.
The usb makes it easy to connect harddisk, memory stick,.. but also things like keyboard & mouse. (you can also use it as a powerbank to charge your phone.-
The built in speaker has 1 Watt and sounds quite loud for this little device but it has no bass so you can connect it also to a soundsystem with the line out (or wireless with bluetooth) for better sound experience
It has a native 854 by 480 resolution, which is not HD but as you see in the youtube video it is a very clear and sharp image.
The built-in media player supports about every music, video and picture format (if it is supported by an app in android)
It is advertised on various websites going from 120 Ansi Lumen up to 1000 lumens but the actual lumens are 100.
For such a small projector this is more then enough. It is visible inside during daytime (not outside in direct sunlight) but it is at it's best in low light/dark room situation.
The Playstore is fully working so almost every app can be installed. Apps that mirror your phone/laptop screen let you enjoy everything wireless with wifi on a big screen
The launcher provided is nice but provides no settings which is a shame because if i delete an app from the homescreen the picture shortcut will stay and i can't replace it with something else. (I however always can install another launcher from the playstore)
It also has no pulldown menu for notifications/quicksettings, so if i get a notification, i can hear it but i cannot open the pulldown screen
The quadcore Arm Cortex a7 with RK3128 chip makes the Android in this projector react very smooth & fast.
It has 1 gigabyte ram & 16 Gigabyte internal memory. 1 gigabyte is not that much because most apps will only install in this memory and you start with only about 500 megabyte of free storage place.
The only minus is the Hdmi connection slot.. It doesn't support Hdmi IN, only hdmi out, that means you can not connect a game console to it for playing games. The Chinese sellers didn't mention it was only hdmi out.. (who wants a hdmi out to a smaller tv screen that shuts down the projection screen once connected lol)

Hello Man,
I thinking about other using of this, so i would like install to device IFTTT (if this then that) app. It's can be working? I would like to using this device for wakeup alarm video (ie. a short movie from internal memory).
thanks.
Peter

Bricked mine - help
I saw there was an update available and downloaded it. Got an error on install and now it's stuck on the recovery system screen. None of the options get it out of the loop. Know anyplace where there's a factory image?

Fixed!
Got hold of the vendor thru Amazon. Downloaded the image file and installer program (713mb). Went smoothly thru a male to male USB cable. Now have the latest upgrade. htc_d002_box_en_noota_20160317-3.img

Where you find this vendor? My projector after update not working and now in recovery mode too

Vendor
The vendor was hard to contact directly. Amazon intercepts communications and edits out email addresses, even when you try to disguise them.
Eventually, they did get an email to me directly and included the installer zip file and the instruction doc file. And a link to mailQQ.com where they had put the .img file.
The return email address I got was [email protected]

Thank you very much for helping, now I repairing my projector and everything is working

Hello, can you tell me if it has keystone correction?
Thanks

No, it doesn't. Only focus.

ASK
Hi,
Is it possibile to switch off the LED (and fan) from API or other way? (like standby mode in a smartphone. Processes are running, ie. alarm clock,etc.). Thx.

I don't know. I'm not a programmer.

Is this a clone of the EcSee M6 projector?
If so, is there a difference?
Can you say something to the fan noise?

It DOES say M6 on the box it came in and the logo M6 is shown on the illustration in the instruction booklet but not on the projector. That's all I know about it.
The fan noise is audible but not bad enough to distract from the audio. The fan slows down and is quieter when not using the charger.

Thank you for the fast answer.
So I am looking forward to get it soon, it's on it's way from gearbest.
Does it have OTA update function?

Please note my previous post about updates. This projector's android version still includes setup apps that may try to use a cell phone chip that's NOT in the unit as it seems to have been developed using a HTC image. I STRONGLY discourage anyone from using the OTA update function of this unit.

Received it and it works perfect.
I would like to mod the fan as its a little to loud.
There are quieter fans on the market.
Has anyone tried to open the projector?

The feeling is mutual, i've received the projector yesterday and i was very excited to replace the TV with this huge screen, but the noise of the fan is still echoing in my head. Just spoke to an expert that told me to try to put some grease/vaseline (industrial) or to replace the fan with a best one. He has no problem to make that operation but my question is is there a quieter fan ?

Would anyone be able to upload the firmware? I have contacted the manufactures but haven't heard back yet... probably due to Chinese holiday. Mine was June 2016, but I think an older kernel would work.

I need the firmware too because i have the chinese firmware (no play store) and i would change to english firmware with kodi and play store.
Thanks.

I have the same device - but i stock on recovery. i need rom for that device. someone know from where?
