Just thought I would share this here for any XDA TV fans.
It's an unofficial XDA TV app to watch XDA TV videos on the go. The app was created for Tablets, but seems to work fine on my DHD

Anyone tried this with good results?
My results:
I use the free "device check disabled" version of the Netflix app, and it operates great on my stock unrooted DroidX. Watched entire movies over 3G with no problems. Works over WiFi too.
Got myself a HDMI cable for the phone to TV (less than $4 incl. shipping, from Amazon)
I've tried using the free "Xternal Display for Droid X" app to send output to an external HDMI monitor.
Works for a couple of minutes, then quits.
I suspect the "Xternal Display" app is getting swapped out by the Android OS, and that kills the TV output.

There's an app in the market called realhdmi that works I haven't tested it on netflix yet but it works great with youtube videos
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I purchased the hdmi app from the market. Afterwards Netflix started right up on my tv. No luck before that. It is somewhat of a pain to use. What you see on your tv is not what you see on your phone. Takes some time to get use to.
This makes the DroidX the smallest Netflix streaming device for a TV?

I've been using the same app and ut works it just randomly stops working alot and I have to reopen the xternal app. But you could try using the paid app realhdmi, I haven't had any issues with that

sorry, i think iphone 4 and ipod touch 4g are smaller, and officially support tv-out with component, vga, and hdmi (with proper cables/dongles). i wish my droid x officially supported hdmi out for anything useful.

I'm hearing real hdmi doesn't work under Gingerbread yet. Can someone confirm?
Also, under Froyo, has anyone watched an *entire* Netflix movie using real hdmi without any problems?
Sent from an unrooted DroidX using XDA app.
Realhdmi works on gingerbread as of a few weeks ago.
Sent from my DROIDX
Real HDMI will do the job, but because netflix is a mobile app, the picture quality is passable when it is highest, but not watchable if your connection slows and the video quality drops.

I've watched Netflix movies on my DroidX under Froyo and GB. There are different builds out there.

If you rent a movie though the market on your Rooted Moto Xoom and try to play it in the Google movies app you will get an error 49 (rooted device not allowed).
But if you go to www.youtube.com in the browser and login you can then play your movie.
I have done this process on my Rooted WIFI Xoom with 3.2. (Desktop UA string). Just thought I would share...
This will only work if you are connected to a network. So if you can tether or if you have a Verizon Xoom you should be good to go mobile. Or you can always use WIFI.
How many movies did you try it with?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
one so far I wanted to put it on here so others can try... I will try a few more movies this week.
Yeah nice tip.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Wait- so after logging into you YouTube you jump back into your Google Movies app and it works or.......?
Do you watch the movies on YouTube using the browser?
Watch movies on YouTube though the browser. Could of been more clear.

Has anyone else tried this yet? What are your results?
just tried on my wifi xoom 3.1 with unlocked bootloader using the Bourne ultimatum (favorite movie) and it worked perfectly without a hitch.
this workaround will be useful until someone can figure out how to watch them in the movies app.

hmm... maybe if you did you tube sees the screen size in the browser and limits to 480...
im a newbie, so I apologize for the hand holding but can you please explain exactly how to view a Google video through the YouTube browser? I ordered a movie on Google videos and signed into YouTube, but where do I go from there? Thanks
if you type in"about:debug" (without quotes) in the browsers address bar you will get more settings. go to settings>debug>uastring and change it to desktop. then reload youtube and on the homepage there should be something like "don't forget to watch your movie" and that's it.

Is there any way to play web page video that use ms silverlight. This is to watch stuff on the sky web page.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Afraid not
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I am interested about that too... is it really not possible?
I don't think so, to watch live sky you would need silverlight on your phone to watch over the internet or a sky tv app for Android like the iPhone one.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It could be on the horizon. After a little digging around, it would seem that there is a plug-in in development by Moonlight which will allow Android users to watch MS Silverlight content on their devices. A link to the article... http://thedroidguy.com/2011/04/microsoft-silverlight-coming-to-android-via-moonlight-dev-crew/
OK I've spent most of the day looking into this with minimal success.
As there are some great sales on today I've been and got an lg smart TV.
To get the nexus 4 to connect I need the smartshare app but as I live in the UK it says it's not available over here yet :thumbdown:.
So I've been searching on XDA today and found the smartshare apk and installed it but it won't open .
Can it work any help much appreciated.

yea the lg tv remote app works well but that's all it is - a remote . . the smartshare app supposed to let you just share whatever from your phone to your tv i was just tryna play some music on my phone to it but i just ended up connecting it to my home theater so its cool i guess

Bubbleupnp is also another good one. Will let your phone be either a remote choosing streams from a dlna server to a dlna receiver. Or as a server itself stemming phone content to a receiver

I ran third birthday in ppsspp. It runs really well. Might do another now that I have more games.

I see that the screen is cut off partially on your tv, you might try an app called secondscreen.
edit: the app only works on android 4.2 and up
