    *Edit* Code worked! Mine was €10.16. What's the delivery time from these guys? Anyone else buy? What the difference between this "elite" T1000 one and the other "Mirror 2 mirror" T1000?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,748 ✭✭✭Do-more


    Cheers OP been meaning to buy another for ages ever since the FIL "accidentally" brought my original one home with him and keeps forgetting to bring it back!

    Delivery time is anywhere between 1 week and 1 month. I think average is around 2½ weeks.
    I asked the same question in the Q&A section, no answer yet. Question doesn't seem to be there either, maybe they don't publish until it's been answered.

    Does the mirror2tv have 2 switch modes? (DLNA\Airplay)

    Does this support airplay mirroring or just simple airplay streaming?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭corglass


    Thanks op, just bagged one


  • Registered Users Posts: 555 ✭✭✭doctorg


    Do this work like the chromecast ?

    Like on android, where the icon for chromecast appears does it appear for this?

    Not sure. It seems to be a newer version of the T1000 mirror 2 TV (Of which they have recently fixed the Airplay stream issues.) - At a guess, I'd say it supports airplay mirroring.

    Yes.
    Here is a video of the mirror 2 TV version

    @Allyall, from the Video it seems like it doesn't function exactly like a chromecast.

    I'm taking about the little screen icon that appears in apps. Like Mobdro, you can chromecast and i'm wondering if this little beast can do the same.

    I'm not really wanting to mirror it as that can be choppy.

    I didn't watch that particular video, but I'm pretty sure it does cast. It supports EZCast and Miracast.
    You can have a movie playing on your phone/tablet and cast it to a TV.
    Screen mirroring is an option afaik.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,923 ✭✭✭DopeTech


    Judging on the video you can't cast from most apps, just mirror screen or cast from ezcast app.

    don't think airplay works from what I've read- anyone have any experience with one of these?

    That was the (i think 'previous') model (Mirror 2 TV) - and it has since been fixed in that model.

    This is the T1000 Elite, I'm guessing it's fixed in this.
    I haven't been able to find much/any information about this model, except what is on the Tronsmart website.
    I'm not even sure what the main difference between the two is, other than that you seem to be able to switch modes with a button on the side, on the Elite.

    I thought for ~ €10 worth it.


    @FrostyJim, I'm also guessing, that because this model can switch modes, that you can cast easier.

    Just saying these things are cheaper than a 3 meter HDMI cable.

    The spec on them is very low, 128MB , but if it does one job well happy days.

    On your first boot, the T1000 will show you its SSID and password. You should write it down as you will need it later.

    Cheers! Yeah the only shop that has something similar to this is the iconcast from pcworld at 40 euro. So at a tenner its worth a punt lol.

    would this work without a wifi connection, for example if I had a film downloaded on my iPad and I wanted to play it on a television but I didn't have a wifi connection?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 732 ✭✭✭Mister Robinson


    The coupon is comming up as expired when entering at checkout :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 djkac


    exactly , expired.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,222 ✭✭✭bigneacy


    Received this today, we already have 2 chromecasts and have android, windows and iOs devices in the house so we'll see how she goes later.

    I know that code is expired but fairly impressed with geek buying, ~10 Day free shipping. Ordered on fri July 31st evening so was dispatched on Monday 3rd, received on 12th


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    Checked the tracking on mine, hopefully get it today as it was processed here yesterday. What's the general opinion so far? I'm new to the chromecast /casting /mirroring type thing so might need advice on how to set these things up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭tomslick


    Got mine today. Super piece of kit. Setup on android in about five minutes. Thanks OP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭CreepingDeath


    Got mine today too.
    Connected it up with the smart phone.

    Works.

    But the wifi connect was very laggy, wouldn't stream hidef without dropping frames/lose of quality.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    Got mine, using EZcast app but keeps saying "connect to last device fail".... Is there better instructions or could someone give me a quick set up for dummies guide?!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,187 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    I'd recommend an app called BubbleUPNP, which lets you stream files from your device but also from DropBox, Google Drive, Google Play Music and a few others. It can also be selected as the video player in (totally legal, cough) apps that stream TV/movies from remote servers.

    Thanks for that. I'll try it again later. Can this yoke mirror /display apps from my android smartphone?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 477 ✭✭davidom2513


    If I ran XBMC on my desktop, would I be able to use screen mirror on this to show it on my tv?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭cruhoortwunk


    Would that work with Widi (Intel wireless display)

    Yes to all three.
    There was a video on http://www.youtube.com/user/tronsmart that showed all the functions and differences and how to connect, but it seems to have been removed, maybe to update.
    It may appear on this page
    http://www.tronsmart.com/products/miracastadapter/tronsmart-t1000-elite

    I think the quality out of this is pretty good. Even casted from an old Ainol Tablet that has been wiped and reinstalled so many times that it crawls.
    Sony Vaio with Widi working no problem.

    Mine arrived this morning, not entirely sure what to use it for though. just bought it because....well bargain alerts always has me buying things whether I want them or not.:o

    anyway what exactly can this do? what are you guys using it for? ive only managed to get it to duplicate my laptop screen which i'm thinking i might put to use with emulators maybe.

    What are you guys using it for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    I just figured out how to screen mirror on my Z3,quality is great. Only thing is-its not full screen on my TV,just a narrow rectangle-any way of making it full screen?
    I have a Cloud ibox 2 plus.I can stream to my phone and mirror it on the TV.Strangely,It shows full screen on TV. Very handy,saves me running long HDMI cable to the bedroom now!So I reckon XBMC will work.
    Apart from that,I'm not too sure what else it can do.I'm the same as carrigy,just bought this out of curiosity. Heard that chromecasts were good so decided to get this,delighted so far.Thanks Allyall.

    This caught me out for a little bit.
    Turn the phone sideways !

    When the phones screen autorotates it fills up the TV screen.

    Got my one yesterday, for my sons sony E3 phone, have not set it up yet, do i have to download a App to phone first and can i power it by the usb connection on the tv ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,541 ✭✭✭duridian


    Also got mine today. Great little gizmo for the money, and delighted to find it plays MKV which Chromecast doesn't.

    The presence of the Tronsmart dongle + a Chromecast does seem to cause a bit of confusion with the Anynet+ on my fairly old Samsung TV. (circa 2009 model)
    The TV will switch directly from the CC to the Tronsmart no problem, but if I try to go from the Tronsmart to the CC it won't switch. I have found a pretty simple workaround though, by switching back to the "normal" tv channels (Saorview, RTE) with the Channel up or down button I can then go back into the Source list and the Chromecast then works when selected.

    I've been using BubbleUPnP and Allcast for "casting" to the dongle, as I had purchased those apps anyway for use with my Chromecast.
    Also used EZCast app to set up the passwords etc.. Noticed there is an "EZCast Pro" app on the Play Store by the same crowd as the regular app so I tried it as well but it doesn't seem to work with this dongle, whatever the difference is in the "Pro" compatible dongles.

    Overall very pleased with it. Thanks again OP.

    Yes to both. App is called EZcast published on Play Store by "Winner Wave Ltd." This will mainly allow you to interact with the settings of the dongle.
    It should run fine if you power it off the TV USB port.

    This code has expired now unfortunately!

    from reading the comments I dont think i really need this. I used to hook my tv up to my router via ethernet and use showbox with the twonky beam app to beam movies to the tv. This item would have done the same job I think.

    But now I have a mxiii android tv box with xbmc so I dont use showbox or twonky anymore.

    Its still useful for mirroring my laptop or using the tv as an extended screen. no need for long cables. I need another hdmi port though, my tv only has 2 and they're being used by the ps4 and the tv box.

    I if could make the tv box play ps1 and other games that be better, not sure if thats possible though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,796 ✭✭✭g0g


    Jest testing mine here now this morning. Using a laptop to test it. Very easy to set up anyway - can connect to it directly via WiFi (it'll show as a new network) to adjust settings and get it connected to the internet. Then I set it to miracast mode and connected the laptop. Picture shows grand on screen but completely laggy for me on any videos I've played from youtube. Good novelty I guess and useful maybe for projecting photo slideshows or something. It sends the audio from videos to the TV too.

    It wouldn't play the ones I tried. Maybe it didn't like the embedded subs in the mkv files I was trying or something like that. I admit it was well over a year ago and I never bothered trying any more mkv since then until this new dongle arrived so could be different story now if I had the same files to test.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,833 ✭✭✭✭ThisRegard


    What app were you using? Videostream handles everything I've thrown at it so far, better than DivX for which you need to buy extra codecs for some files.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,541 ✭✭✭duridian


    Ah, now I get you. You mean for casting from a PC? With Videostream is the transcoding not done on the PC and a compatible stream then cast to the CC much like from a Plex server?

    For my situation on the odd occasion when I use my PC, a desktop, to watch video I'd simply just use its own monitor which is big enough.

    It's only really Android streaming using either BubbleUPnP or Allcast, the Android apps from my phone or tablet that I am referring to in my earlier posting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,316 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    Cant seem to do anything on this, downloaded ezcast app connected to phone, connected to internet, how to get it mirror whats on phone? turn app on phone, 2 icons on phone
    1 DLNA, 2 settings, on the DNLA, no DNLA app on phone?
    can get into settings and do adjustments but that's about it,
    which button do i press to mirror phone ?

    update: mirrorcast dont seem to work with a sony expire e3, switch ezcast app, on set to mirrorcast but goes no further, but can now use DNLA using a app call bubble, can see see photos with this and play music, but not what it was brought for, my son wanted to play games on phone and to view on tv, but still it was only €10 wasted.

    I got it mirroring from my devices by switching to Miracast mode on the dongle using the button on the dongle itself, then going into the display setting of my Android devices and looking in there for stuff related to casting the screen.

    On my Nexus 7 tab and My Moto X phone which are both pretty much stock Android interface, it was under cast screen and I had to "Enable Wireless display" from a submenu (3 dots)

    On an old cheap Alcatel Tablet it was under TV link instead of cast screen.

    I tried playing Oddworld Stranger's Wrath on the Nexus. TBH while it works, the delay between the image updating on the casting device tv screen makes gaming using this fairly impractical. Also I found myself constantly having to look down at my tablet to see where the controls were in relation to my fingers. Maybe this would be less of a problem if using a gamepad, but there is nothing can be done about the delay unfortunately.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 314 ✭✭allimac


    Got this today and works well from my android phone, can this mirror a PC as well and if so can anyone run me through the setup?


  • Registered Users Posts: 133 ✭✭Bane


    My one won't play ball with me. When I switch it on, the HDMI channel has a Tronsmart screen, then after a min or so it says there's an error and that it needs to restart and after restart the same happens. And also my after using ezcast on my Surface Pro 3, it doesn't seem to find it at all?
