Iphone: TVOUT possible with Titanium?

i have just started playing with titanium today.
my intention is a MAP app, but i require the TVOUT hardware of the iphone to work. Is there some way to do this ?

  • yes i have tried : the function of the TVOUT cable is that nothing happens until a specific app tells it to turn on. For example, the youtube app enabled the TVOUT, but google maps does not. etc.

  • So Titanium must have a way to tell it to turn on (or so i wish).

  • the iphone built in video player outputs to TV, and the photo viewer : but nothing else.
    so obviously there is a funciton in the iphone SDK for turning that on/off.

    • yes i have tried, of course i would not ask if it just worked.
      the tvout cable does not output everything you see on the screen, the app needs to tell it to output.

  • I know from experience that the official apple cable does NOT automatically show the same image on the TV screen as on your iPhone screen.
