Hi. I have a Devant TV and I could not find that brand in the list within Watch On. Anyone suggest an alternate brand to select that will work? Thanks!

You can use another remote app found in Google Play.

Stream to Apple Tv?

He's anyone successfully connected their N7 to Apple TV?? I've done some searching and tried a few suggested programs(media share, xbmc, play to) but none were successful.. a Search on Google Play brought up a couple pay for apps but without verification of hate to waste the $$$
TIA in advance

Ok I'll answer my own question lol...
I found a program on Google play that seems to work, it's played my music and videos plus can do YouTube and a few other apps (unfortunately Pandora it's not a choice) . Haven't been able to show photos from my N7 through the program yet but it's suppose to be capable..
The app is "Apple TV Media" and it's free, you just have to open a account with Zappo during the initial setup..

I use imediashare, you have just to connect nexus 7 and apple TV to same wifi connection and select any video for example YouTube video, than tipe send to, than you will see imediashare app and tap that, than the video will be shown to your Apple TV, this is the paid version of imediashare, with the lite version you have to select your videos through the app
This can be done with other media sharer

I have this app and tested on a friends ATV and it worked for you tube videos and local vids (amongst many other options) and this one can work with photos. If you have all your photos on Picasa like I do there is an option to stream from there.

Why doesn't Play Music, Movies etc. Appear in the store?

Only apps show up on the play store. If I go to one of the play apps and click the play icon, it redirects me to the browser and tells me its not available in my country!! I have dozens of songs and couple of adventure time episodes purchased and it says this? The only solution I have is to go to my phone with my mobile network and it let's purchase stuff, then I sync. It works but you know.. Thanks!

Smartshare apk (up to date ]

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

interesting i never even heard of those but i'll try it out later today. Thanks !
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

Is there anyway way at all to mirror out to a tv?

Is there anyway way at all to mirror out to a tv? I want to see what's on my nexus on my TV. I have been reading for almost 3 hours doesn't look like you can. Please help. I know Samsung cords dont work because n7 doesn't support mhl at all, miracast probably won't happen to us at least any time soon, nexus q will only stream your videos and not mirror whats on ur screen, and there's some thing pi rasp idk exactly what's its called. Is there anything that works? Sorry there's probably a thread about this I scrolled down for 10 mins and didn't find one. I will update my first post with any findings to help anyone easier.
Thanks everyone!

too much trouble for me to do though
There is if you have an AppleTV, it's called AppleTV Air Play Media Player by Zappotv and it's in the Google Play Store. It's pretty cool it uses Apple's Air Play protocol to send your Nexus screen's picture or video to your big screen TV.

Video player

Hi
Please help me with this -I've a Samsung galaxy s3 and a new Samsung LCD TV.
So most of the videos I can stream from my s3 to the TV via dnla as long as they're in the same WiFi networks.
Now I just got my new nexus thinking I'll be able to do the same. But chrome starts play inn these videos directly
On the webpage and I don't have any way to stream this to the TV.
On s3, it used too play it on the video player that comes with the android os.
How do I do this on nexus? The wireless display doesn't find my TV at all

N7 supports miracast. You need miracast support for wireless.
So do I need to buy miracast dongle?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Chromecast dongle could be another choice?
Look for "Pixel Media Server" on Playstore.
I use it to stream via DLNA to my Samsung tv, since my S4 is running on AOSP.

solved...!!
I figured it out finally..quite easy..
On chrome itself when its playing the flash video, there is a share button and i downloaded a program called Twonky Beam from playstore,,and click on share via beam..
Bingo!! it straight away beams whatever is playing in my browser on to my samsung TV in clear HD!!..no messsy wires..I assume there are similar apps to beam as well..
Thanks guys!!
