This code DOES work with the composite cable on iOS 4, at least with iPhone 4 and iPad devices. I set up an iPad pushing video and audio to a 52″ TV via the composite cable for trade show last week. Small text isn’t particularly legible, but images look great. I haven’t tested this code on older devices but there’s enough failure reports here to convince me it doesn’t.

Thanks for providing this great class for use in our apps. Much like Georg Essl I am trying to figure out a way to push video through the component or composite out cable rather than VGA on iOS 4. Does anyone know what became of MPTVOutputWindow? All I really want to do is capture video of my app in action without worrying about screen glare or getting the frame just right with a video camera.

Comment on Android requires .class compatibility by Mel Stanley

The setting that controls the class compatibility level in Eclipse is actually available under Project->Properties, in the Java Compiler section. The line item is ‘Compiler Compliance Level’. It’s a little confusing though because the error message says 5.0 but that actually means setting the compliance level to 1.5.

For what it’s worth I find Eclipse far more awful than Xcode in just about every way. I can’t believe anyone prefers it to Netbeans. But if you’re doing Android you don’t have much choice.

I dropped it into a Cocos2D project and it worked without trouble. (Note that Cocos2D uses OpenGL so you’ll have to uncomment the “#define USE_UIGETSCREENIMAGE” line.)

Love the project, but having trouble getting it to work with some Cocos2D code. Anyone have any luck that that to work?

This is brilliant. Some feedback on early testing. Sadly it does not work out of the box for 3GS or iPod Touches. The new UIScreen code does not seem to indicate an external display even if these devices have iOS3.2 or higher and the composite cable plugged in and connected to a display.

But it does work great on iPhone 4 and iPads with either cable (VGA, composite).

I’ll be trying to figure out how to get the composite cable to work again, because I have many legacy devices and specifically need it to work with iPod Tocuhes, but this is an outstanding resource. Thanks!
