I am using a Sony KD-49XF8505 Android TV. When I put a CD into the external media player to listen to music with the sound system connected to it, the TV automatically starts up and switches to the HDMI port the DVD player is connected to. How can I stop the TV from turning on when I only want to listen to music? Is there any setting for that? Since I do not have an idea of where to start looking, I have not tried anything.
Since this is a setting of the Bravia Sync feature included in most Android TVs, the option to toggle this behavior on and off can be found under Settings > External Inputs > Bravia Sync Settings > Auto TV on. This way you should be able to use your external device independently of your TV.

I'm streaming raspberry pi's pi camera over pi's local ip address with specific port. (eg: 192.168.1.111:8000/stream.mjpeg)
I can see the stream over xamarin.forms webview but I want to display it on Xamarin.Forms app with local media players for both iOs and android. Thus I can add control buttons for camera under the videoview. since it is live streaming I dont need forwards or backwards button functionallity.
I definitely lookup at least 5 pages per google search for all the keywords I have but there is nothing I find useful.
Any clues, starting points are appreciated too.
For example, if there is a gaming console (i.e PlayStation) connected to HDMI input in a TV with Android TV. Then, is it possible to record the video going through this HDMI input with a 3rd party app?
In my question I'm referring to Android's TV input framework
Thanks for the helpers.
The TV Input Framework docs mentions that it supports TV recording APIs.
DVR
For devices on Android 7.0 and above, the TV App must support the
Android framework TV recording
APIs,
to support, list, and play recorded programs.
This allows device manufacturers to plug their DVR subsystems into TIF
and dramatically reduce the integration effort it takes to enable or
integrate DVR functionality on a TV device. It also enables third
parties to provide aftermarket DVR systems that can be plugged into an
Android TV device.
In addition to recording live content, the TV App also handles
resource conflict. For example, if the device has two tuners, it can
record two programs at the same time. If the user asks to record
three, the TV App must handle the conflict and should either surface a
notification or request that the user schedules a priority for these
requests.
However I don't have code samples for you as I haven't experimented with this yet.
Another approach would be to use the MediaProjection API and record this with a MediaRecorder. Jake Wharton's app Telecine follows this approach and you can find the source code on GitHub.
The benefit is that these APIs were introduced with Lollipop, so you can use them on all Android TV devices. However I just started experimenting with Android TV, so I can not tell from personal experiences.
I played for the hole day with my Lilypad USB, and out of the blue it stopped working.
The port in the Arduino IDE is gray (even if i am running as an admin). The device is no more shown the /dev/ or in the device manager for window.
In windows when i plug the device is and push the reset button twice i can see the device under other devices but after a few second the device disappears.
How can i resolve this matter? Is there another hardware factory reset method?
Please help.

I am using Ableton Live 6 Lite with M-Audio Fast Track connected through USB port. I am having the following issue which I do not know how to resolve: I cannot simultaneously use sound recording with the above mentioned setup and a USB connected keyboard (just a regular USB keyboard which I use with my Toshiba Laptop PC). Either keyboard is not working or no sound reaches Ableton Live software. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
It sounds like you are using a USB hub which does not have its own power source. You are drawing too much current so only one device can be powered at a time. Use USB ports directly on your computer or get a USB hub with its own power adapter.
I have an app that uses a background agent to access the web and the local network via wi-fi - not cellular. When the phone is locked, the wi-fi network is not available when the background agent runs - at least on the Samsung Focus Flash phone. I also have an older LG Quantum phone which seems to work ok when the background agent runs - at least when it is plugged in. I'm trying it now without being plugged in to see if that accounts for the difference in behaviour.
(UPDATE: IF the Samsung Flash Focus is plugged in (charging), it also provides wi-fi access when the background agent starts, so that explained the difference in behaviour between the Samsung and the LG Quantum.
So, now the ONLY question remaining is "How can you force the phone to turn on the wi-fi when the background agent starts AND it is NOT plugged in?" )
I use the method NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable() to test if the wi-fi network or any network is available when the background agent starts and also use
DeviceNetworkInformation.ResolveHostNameAsync(
new DnsEndPoint("microsoft.com", 80),
NameResolutionCallback,
null);
to determine which network is actually used.
On Windows Phone 7, WiFi only stays if one of the following conditions is true:
AC Power
Back light on
Data activity
Now, I believe some apps have a way to spoof data activity (something about background audio I think), but I am not sure how to.
See: http://lumiatips.com/keep-wifi-alive-for-windows-phone-homebrew.html
I think what you want is to make background agent run every 30 minutes or so. If that is correct then I am afraid there is no way to do that. When the device is inactive windows phone does not schedule background agent to save battery. This is a good design.
However once you touch the power button and get the lock screen the background agent of your app should run in 2 - 3 seconds or so. That serves the purpose most of the time.
Generally background agent while making a network call, turns on the network be is Wifi or cellular.
