WDTV HDMI output to tablet
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:33 am
Hi All,
I've been trying to build a minimalist audio system at home with what I though would be a very simple off the shelf solution, the WDTV Live. I simply ripped my CD's to 24/96 FLAC files, attached the small portable USB HDD to the WDTV which output via optical to my DAC and then onto the PrimaLuna Dialogue 2. To navigate this simple setup an HDMI went out to my 60" plasma.
Everything was fine for a while till I realized having the TV on just to navigate my music was a bit of a waste. Since then I've been trying to work out how to get what appears on screen onto a tablet which can become my glorified remote control/GUI. In the world I know photography/video there is a little toy called the Teradek cube.....which would work but I think might be considered overkill. Any help or advice would be useful.
Please forgive the somewhat skewed question in this forum but I have not as yet found a suitable answer in audio related forums.
My thanks in advance
