I have a Motorola Xoom and I have had lots of trouble finding an app that will convert my HD recorded movies for use on the tablet. I tried DVD Catalyst and it is a really nice app, but it chokes on most 1080i content (possibly related to the 29/59 frame rate bug). The best I have come up so far is...

Is there a WMC for Roku?

I have a Windows 7 HTPC running WMC. I got a TV about a year ago with Roku built in and it would be cool if there was a WMC Roku channel that I could use to get the Roku to interface with WMC on my HTPC on the other end of my house.

My HTPC has 3 HD tuners recording lots of primetime shows. I'd like to watch those recorded shows on my Android devices. What player app can natively play WTV files over wifi/LAN? Please exclude transcoding/streaming options such as orb, plex.

It looks like Apple is planning to end support for 32-bit apps in a future release or iOS - most probably in iOS 11 this Autumn.

This will mean old apps like Remote Potato won't work unless they get recompiled for 64-bit (unlikely).

Hi All,

I have a live tv edition of Remote Potato as well as WMC client to allow plex or kodi to use live tv. Which is better? Can any fix the 2959 framerate issue with 1080i 60fps content (i.e. CNN)? Thanks!

Edit: to explain, whenever viewing 60fps content on these backends, it is downsampled...

If I want to stream WMC to my wife's iPad, can I simulataneously run serverWMC (backend client for XBMC WMC pvr addon) and Remote Potato on my HTPC?

Or hitch up my pants and jailbreak her iPad to run XBMC?

What will they think of next?

Is your Android app compatible with the ART runtime? I just got the KitKat 4.4.4 update to my Motorola Droid Maxx this morning, I changed the runtime from Dalvik to ART, now My Media Center doesn't work. Do you plan on updating the app to work with ART?

Thanks

Just in case I'm not the last person to find this software, I just downloaded Splashtop. It lets you remote to your PC with full audio and video. I haven't played too much with it yet but I just watched an HD video over remote desktop. Unfortunately Media Center doesn't seem to work.

I just wanted to let other people know that the app MoliPlayer Pro for Windows Phone can play non-copy protected HD WTV files - untouched.

I have copied over SD, 720p and 1080i videos over to my Lumia 1520 MicroSD card and every WTV file I tried played without a hitch. If you don't have a...

i've been running chrome rdp on my android phone and my HTPC. it is a very nice lightweight rdp app but an added benefit is how amazing it works as a remote control.

Is there any solution out there for streaming Live TV to a Surface (or other Windows RT) device?

I just set up Airplay using this setup. It is working fine for pictures but I cannot seem to get any videos to show the airplay icon be it from YouTube, Facebook, or other video sources. Any ideas? I was thinking it is possible since it recommends using apple bonjour print services it may be only...

Interesting innovation from Tivo.

TiVo recently announced its fair major update to its line of digital video records in three years. The update now gives buyers the opportunity to stream content from a DVR to an iOS-powered device such as an iPhone or iPad. The new line of Roamio DVRs are now...

I have an old droid hooked to my TV via HDMI mini as a Plex Client, but I recently bought a HDHomerun Prime and was trying to get the feed to the old phone. I tried using XBMC(sorry if that is not allowed here...I'm a n00b) and added the feed. I can stream SD channels just fine, but the HD channels...

Is there a way to stream media from my android device to my WMC box via Bluetooth?

I have slingbox solo (connected to MCXtender) + slingplayer on my android phone to watch recorded TV shows. (Rarely watch live TV.)

Is remote potato streaming quality better than slingbox? I just upgraded my HTPC with a sandy bridge processor. What's the advantage of RP over slingbox?

Is there any plans to add support for mobile forum apps like forumrunner?

I can get this forum to work on forum touch(it's actually the only forum that didn't already support a mobile app that I've got to work on it even though it doesn't require anything to be installed on the forum server) but...

Not MC related, but interesting (if you like this sort of thing!).

My HD7 has just informed me that an update is available - maybe I've had my head in the sand but I didn't even know that one was soon to be released.

I did a quick google and it looks like 7740 is getting rolled out today.

I run Remote Potato for remote access to my guide, recording schedule and music. I don't wish to allow access to the whole world though, so I use the Windows firewall to restrict inbound access. If it's any use to anyone, these are the IP ranges I've found are used by T-Mobile UK:...

Does anyone know if the Remote Potato iPhone app will every become a universal app and include an iPad interface? I went ahead and bought the iPhone app that is in the app store now and it works great. It just looks bad and feels cramped when it could be using so much more real estate.

Although this is a story about WP7 Mango, there is also mention that if watching Live TV on the Xbox 360 Extender it will give you voice control to set new recordings:

Presumably if Microsoft were planning to kill off Media Center then they wouldn't bother with this level of integration. Maybe...

Hey-- Any thoughts or opinions on Smart Potato vs Media Buddy as a WP7 App?

Anyone using the full version of either?
