[Q] Watching Lovefilm on the N7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a workaround? Is there a way? It would be so great to be able to stream Lovefilm Instant on the Nexus 7. I haven't found anything helpful on Google. Hoping for the best!:fingers-crossed:

Only way I have found to watch Lovefilm on the Nexus 7 is via splashtop, remote to your PC and then open up lovefilm.
Works fine but then have to have a PC on all the time so is hardly ideal.

I would like to know that as well, I've read you can stream via DLNA/Allshare to a Samsung TV, but it seems those apps only stream a local file. Also I wonder whether the Nexus 7 is capable of downloading the stream whilst streaming it along to the TV.

Too expensive i think. What I will try out is a Samsung MHL cable (see Amazon) and attaching a WiiMote to the device. This should transfer the screen/audio while giving me the freedom to control it from the couch.
As of now, I have testes Plex Media Server in conjunction with the Plex App on the Nexus, which is really impressive on its own already, since I can for example link every YouTube Video I like (via myplex) and stream that from my PC to the TV (even without the Android App, since the TV recognizes the Plex Media Server on its own via DLNA!). I can also stream my Video Folders to Tablet and/or TV whenever I like. The only downside of this is that I have to have the PC running.
For streaming videos from the Google Play store I think iMediashare will be sufficient, since one can select whichever file residing on the tablet and stream it to the TV. I could not test it with Play Store Videos yet, since I get the error that I have downloaded the complimentary Transformers 3 to the maximum of devices already (which I haven't) whenever I click the download option in the Google Video Player. But from what I gather, it should be possible to download a video (rent) and instead of viewing it via the Google Video App, open it in iMediashare and stream that to the TV. Using the WiiMote App, it should also have a remote then.
In case one can't open the rental video outside of Google Video App, it should still work using the MHL Cable.
If you check that out, let me know whether it works for you
I will be able to do further testing when my replacement Nexus arrives, since I got and 8GB instead of 16GB version, I will have to wait until I got it swapped.
and therefore do not pile nexus 7...NO HDMI :/
I wait for acer a110

[Q] Status on Nexus 7 mirror display to TV via PS3 or AppleTV?

All,
I would like the ability to mirror my Nexus 7 desktop to my TV via PS3. What I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to stream web videos found on sites to my TV via PS3 or Apple TV. I know there are apps that stream media on the tablet already, but again, I want to be able to stream web content.
Thanks!

[Q] App that allows you to stream Android to Android

I am looking for an app that will allow (for example) my Galaxy Note 10.1 to see files (specifically video files) from my Nexus 7.
I would then like the Galaxy Note 10.1 be able to play those video files from my Nexus 7.
I know how to do it from said device from a PC but another android device I dunno yet.
Anyone have any apps to recommend?
I use skifta, mainly for playing files from the server on my network at home, but also for streaming files from the tablet to a DNLA player (ps3)
I have tried it from my N7 to a mates N7 so I do know it should work android to android.

[Q] AirPlay style streaming from Chrome/Browser

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could help me find if there was a way to stream content that's from the web (e.g. Chrome/Browser) over to a device that supports something like Airplay and similar services. I know TouchWiz on my S3 can do this already, but is there a way to get this on my N7?
I've searched on Google but find nothing.
Thanks!

I'm not sure about how Airplay works. But You can try AirDroid, Wifi File Transfer.
Let me know if it works for you.

I think these are for file transfer. I've actually used AirDrop to transfer files between my Mac and S3. What I'd like to be able to do is send audio/video I'm streaming from the web on my Nexus 7 onto say my Xbox 360 or a set of network enabled speakers.
My S3 can do this as TouchWiz has AllShare built in to it. So really I'm looking for an alternative to AllShare that will work with my N7.
Thanks

Why don't you just use something like Chrome to mobile or Dolphin connect and send share the link to your N7 and enjoy the music.
Check iMediaShare app. I guess this is what you are looking for

Mobizen or alternatives?

Currently I'm trying to find a decent way to mirror my nexus to my laptop, however I haven't found any that are compatible with it yet.
Just wondering if anyone has gotten something like mobizen to work on the Nexus Player yet, or has alternatives for me.

Just try to use a PCIe or USB capture card with HDMI to use Nexus Player on your PC.
