[Q] Can you stream video

from the HTC GLACIER to tv? are there any apps is it even possible?

As far as I know it's only possible if you have a DLNA enabled tv. Those are the internet ready ones.

HDMI Apps

So i been seeing these hdmi apps which mirror the phone screen on the TV. Would this work with the Desire HD and what would i need to view stuff on the TV? I tried searching but didnt come across anything.
Hope you guys that have run it before can help.
Thanks
Adam.

DHD doesn't have HDMI Output

any alternatives?

If your TV supports DLNA (wireless connection) you can do it.

I was sure, that if your TV have a USB port then you can just conect via standard cable with the SD card mode and just play movie .
This is not true?

I'm using my Note to 'throw' photos and videos to my TV. It's great!

This is probably just a standard feature of android now, but I've just come across it recently after upgrading to a smart TV. It's just so easy now to watch my vids and photo slideshows at a whim on my 50" plasma. Another great use I've discovered for my Note.

How do you "throw" videos to your TV?

Using Allshare

Do you have a Samsung TV? The only way I know of to "throw" media via AllShare is with a Sammy TV or using the AllShare dongle connected to the TV.

So, let's try to understand this... I tried AllShare as a server on my PC, I thought it sucked to I installed Twonky instead.
Can I still get content "pushed" to my (older, Samsung) TV from the tablet?

My TV is a Panasonic 50GT50. I would assume this works on any `smart ` TV as long as it's dlna certified, so that should include all of em.
When looking at pics in my photo gallery I now have an extra button visible on screen because a dlna device is within reach. When I touch that, the photo I'm viewing appears on the TV in a few seconds.
It's the same with videos.
It's great for downloaded HD music videos from YouTube, or my photo slideshows I'm making in Windows movie maker (a great program).

This is true. Dlna makes it possible. Works with my Samsung blueray player hooked to My LG t.v. I couldn't get the allshare thing working. Then I discovered the dlna way. Same thing really.

I gone to look see if this can be done with my ps3 I want that option......, lol

i use BubbleUpnp on my android and XBMC on a RaspberryPi to throw videos, music and Fotos to my TV.

If you happen to have a decent android phone with hdmi connection to tv, you can uses bubleupnp (both devices), to "throw" stuff and junk, if you dont have anything else.

With mirrop sender/mirrorop reciever app, you can do the equivalent of allsharecast(with lag), where your able to mirror your android devices, great for pics, vids, slow paced games etc etc etc...........ofcourse, ive not got my hdmi cable yet, so im assuming theirs no issues with connecting phone to tv, and mirror my note 10.1 to tv, via phone?

My t.v. doesn't have any wireless capabilities. It is an LG though. How I got it connected was through my Samsung blueray player. Which is connected Its wifi capable. But only if you plug in a wifi USB adapter. I have my router Ethernet plug plugged into the back of blueray. The Samsung player has dlna and that allshare cast. But I couldn't figure how to get allshare to work from the blueray end. So since I knew the player and the note had dlna capabilities, I played around with getting it connected. I previously had no experience using Dlna. All I knew that it was something having to do with connecting devices wirelessly or whatever.
How I got it connected? Well going into settings of blueray and in settings of the note. In your case it'll be TV settings where dlna option is at and your note. On your t.v., I'm guessing, as long as you have its wireless capabilities on or connected to your network, youngood to go on that side. On the note, you go into settings. Then more. Then in media share section press "Nearby devices/share your media with other devices" . In there, check the box that says File sharing. Depending on how much content you have saved in your note, it might take a minute or two to sync data. Then go into shared contents and make sure videos, music, and pictures box is checked. It might sync again if they weren't already checked. Then look in "allowed devices". You should see your t.v. name or whatever show up in there. I can't remember if I had to initially accept it or not. Checking the box will only bring up option to delete that device for me now. In my case, I see my blueray player name in there. In upload from other devices, I put "always allow".
Now once you have it set up on tablet side, you should be able to see the option or icon for your tablet appear on t.v. for me I have to press other devices on my blueray and ill see my tablet icon. I click on it and then they both connect. I can access all my video, music, or picture folders and view the contents. Kinda like an HDMI connection. Except dlna only lets you explore clthe content mentioned on the device only. It doesn't mirror everything like an HDMI connection. Like I can't access my apps nnor whatever. Only stored media content on device. Beware though when watching some downloaded movies. Some of these Movies have some kind of failsafe knowledge of knowing you watching a new downloaded movie. For example I have Argo downloaded. It'll let me watch it for a few Minutes. Then it'll stop and say device not authorized to watch this movie..lmfao it detects it by the device recognizing that the movie is in 5.1 Dolby or whatever. Since alot of the movies are screened versions or whatever. People on ps3 watching certain downloaded movies have same issue also. The only work around is reformatting the movie so it won't be detected. Its weird because I can play that movie on my note with no issue. I guess that only occurs when trying to watch it through a new t.v. or blueray player. It may even be built in, but I think its internet connection detects certain things in the movie and can tell that its a new movie that hasn't been released yet or on DVD and you trying to watch a downloaded digital version of it. Which is pretty smart. I can't be mad about that. Ill just watch those certain movies on my tablet which will play them regardless. Its not all downloaded movies. Only certain newer ones depending on what version you downloaded of it. Just a heads up. Experiment and see.
I also have an HDMI adapter for my note. It'll connect to this LG t.v. BUT for some reason the sound won't play through the t.v. or my home theatre setup. Its weird. I've read some t.v.'s be picky like that. I might try another HDMI cable to see if it makes any difference. Now I had another 39in. Flatscreen that I returned. As I didn't need it since I found a better deal on bigger one. But my HDMI played fine on it. Audio and video. Ill be OK though. It still connects the video to t.v. with no issue. So it'll mirror no problem. But when I play a game LR something through HDMI, the sound only comes out through the tablet itself. Doesn't come out the t.v. or theatre sound system. I wish my t.v. or pioneer system had a 3.5mm input jack for audio. As I would connect them that way, audio wise. That's how I connect my audio from my SG3 to my car stereo. I use a double sided 3.5mm male plug to plug them both up. My t.v. or pioneer doesn't have that jack. I haven't tried the coaxel method yet. But I'm not pressed about mirroring anymore. As long as I can access my media content, I'm good. I do miss being able to pull up crackle app and watch movies that way through HDMI. It ain't no good if the sound only coming out the tablet and movie picture on the t.v. lol don't want to watch movie that way. I'm looking for a bigger and newer t.v. so I'm sure my HDMI will work completely on it. But I can play games like Moddern Combat4 through HDMI and it plays fine on t.v. no lag or issues. Only thing is is that the sound to it only comes out my tablet SMH
Good luck getting yours connected. Let me know how it goes.

Thanx
It worked for me today.
Very nice.

I do this via imediashare app. Use it on my s2 and Note tab.

Will this work with netflix(streaming), or only local files?

I was able to successfully use the imediashare app. Very easy but why is allshare not playing nicely with the ps3? I'd love to use an app that I already have if I can. Anyone else have luck with allshare and ps3?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium

Maybe allshare is coded to work between Allshare enabled devices. Maybe they need to exchange a handshake code? Be good to get an allshare app for the ps3 and xbox.
I cannot get imediashare to hook up with the xbox though. In fact I can't get any thing to work with xbox.

How well does dlna allshare work when looking at a 1080p high profile movie?
If it is perfect for high profile movies I wonder why we can not mirror our tablet screen with dlna.

N7 miracast to TV but TV haven't speaker..

Just buy a new Nexus 7 yesterday with Netgear PTV3000, and want to enjoy movie and games in wireless..
But stupid thing happened..my TV doesn't have internal speakers, I used to connect my PS3 to AMP via fiber to get 5.1 sound.
How can I separate the audio by original 3.5mm or bluetooth? Now I cannot hear anything when connected to Netgear PTV3000...:crying:
Anyone could help? Thanks!!

Wow sounds like you need a video converter box that will give you audio seperate from video. You can't use bluetooth speakers. I tried that to get better audio. The only other thing you could try is a speaker plugged into the headphone jack.

Hi Failrunner~
So you've tried to play audio via Bluetooth when connected to Miracast?
I've tried to plug my headset into audio jack but no sound come out...
BTW, thanks your suggest, i will search for some kind of video converter.... Thanks~

Yeah i wanted better sound so I tried using a bluetooth speaker but it didn't work.
Oh btw you have no audio outputs in your tv? Not sure what soneone would be thinking to make a tv with no speakers and hdmi as well.

I have this problem too. I need to play my sound through Bluetooth speakers but Miracast will not allow me to do so. Interestingly, my Sony Xperia Z was an exception. It allowed me to play into Miracast and Bluetooth speakers at the same time, so I am convinced that it is a software implementation issue. Unfortunately, the Sony Z will disconnect me from wifi internet whenever Miracast is working.

SORRY, I spoke too soon... Sony Xperia Z (Android 4.3) does NOT allow the Bluetooth speakers to work together with Miracast either, although it DID work before. Whatever it is, in all summary, Miracast does NOT work with Bluetooth speakers! (or 3.5mm audio headset)

The sound is being sent to the tv as it is supposed to be. You need to pull the audio from there.

I"m just now learning about miracast, could those of you who use it explain it a little?
If I understand it correctly, even if your tv doesn't have any built in ability I can buy a dongle and make it work?
Also, this will allow me to play videos from my tablet SD card to the tv, not just stream vids like chromecast?

Again, Allcast + Chromecast (or Roku, console, or smart TV). Stream whatever you want to tv,

I thought Chromecast only let you stream Netflix and YouTube or other online movies. So you're saying the allcast app will work with Chromecast and allow me to watch movies saved on SD card?

Looks like I'm going to try the all cast/ chrome cast route next. I tried a slimport dongle from amazon, saw my screen for a second. Next tried a netgear miracast ptv3000, could only connect for a couple seconds and then lost the connection. Why is something that should be so simple so flipping difficult?

Some miracasts work with some tvs , same with slimport. Kinda a crap shoot . wish I didn't have to get them online and wait for mail to see if they work. Lol. Not many stores have them. Best buy has one sad little google display with n7 2013 n5 and chromecast.. . that's it. Ha

The chromecast/allcast app combo is working perfectly. Setting up the chromecast was easy, way easier than the netgear setup. My n7 connected right away and using the allcast app is very easy. I've been watching video for a solid hour now with no stutters or interruptions. For a total of $40 it's definitely worth it, thank you for the suggestion.

[Q] Hdmi INPUT? Possible to use N10 as monitor?

Just wondering if it's possible to use nexus 10 as essentially a portable hdmi monitor. I would like to Sometimes play console in lounge without taking up the TV and just wondered if it's possible to connect console to nexus basically... I already have a HDMI to mini HDMI lead... Wireless would be even better although not essential... Briefly investigated screen cast but seems like this is only designed to wirelessly stream to a TV (which already has hdmi input)
Many Thanks,
Sam.
Ps my N10 is currently not rooted although I would consider rooting if it would enable such a possibility

N10 is designed for OUTPUT only.
That said, it's resolution is high enough that it would be a cool feature, but it's OUTPUT only.

Thanks for the reply I figured that might be the case, any ideas if its possible in a virtual sense? Ie plug a transmitter into console or other hdmi output and have it transmit the signal which can be picked up in an app like YouTube (but source is generated from transmitter rather than the Web)
Thanks again

Only solution I know of right now is Onlive, but then you have to pay for the game AND a subscription.

This might be possible, depending on what you want to play.
If it's a DVD/blu ray, you can stream that on a local wifi network with VLC on a computer, and play it on MX player on your tab, just point MX to the address of the stream.

That could be possible, but yikes! HDMI to composite is like going back light years of technology!
But yeah I've wanted to do the same in the past, to run my GameCube without a TV.
I ended up with a LCD hdtv with hdmi, component, composite and vga, so I just use that (mostly for my PS3 now).
I actually just ordered a pi last week!
I'm going to use it as a file server with a 1.5TB usb drive, and also a Wi-Fi repeater, on top of that, a torrent box (qBittorrent with http remote interface).
Gl though with the video thing!
