| mwhudson | hads: say, do you have any of those android tv set top box type things? | 21:47 |
| hads | mwhudson: Not here sorry. I have looked at them, waiting on XBMC to be more stable on Android. | 23:23 |
| mwhudson | hads: ok thanks | 23:24 |
| mwhudson | hads: mostly interested in skype tbh | 23:24 |
| mwhudson | there are expensive shiny things that probably work well and super cheap dodgy looking chinese things that might be better judging by the specs, but no real way of knowing | 23:24 |
| G | mwhudson: talking about those HDMI Android 'usb-stick' like things? | 23:27 |
| mwhudson | G: basically i want a cheaper version of http://shop.skype.com/intl/en-nz/skype-for-tv/tv-compatible-webcams/tely-hd/ | 23:30 |
| mwhudson | and ideally a newer android than froyo... | 23:30 |
| G | mwhudson: ahhh right, I was thinking you might be talking about something like SmartVu, but that appears to be stuck on Android 4.0 | 23:31 |
| mwhudson | 4.0 seems better than 2.2 :) but i want the webcam and mic too | 23:31 |
| G | yeah, wonder what Android is like with external webcams | 23:32 |
| ibeardslee | problem with most/all of those devices is that you probably won't get a supplier provided update to the Android version. | 23:32 |
| G | ibeardslee: exactly, which is why it's a pity that SmartVu appears to be following that tradition, considering that it's a Kiwi thing (afaiu) | 23:33 |
| G | mwhudson: the word on Stackoverflow seems to be that Android has no APIs that apps can use to access a UVC camera, (although Android can set them up etc) - you'd need to basically write a heap of stuff to interact with it (based on what I'm reading anyway) | 23:37 |
| mwhudson | yeah, so screw that | 23:37 |
| mwhudson | i just want our parents to be able to see our daughter :) | 23:37 |
| hads | Buy a fancy TV with it built in? :) | 23:52 |
