DLNA streaming - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to stream video without having to mirror your screen, that's the only thing I hate about Nexus always have trouble with that not like Samsung that have it automatically, and yes I have used other apps like bubble bit it will not work just error message.

YouTube slow?

Is it just me, or is the YouTube app really slow to load videos? And when I skip ahead or go back, it just refuses to go, even after twenty minutes of "loading".
I went to go to the play store to give a comment that is was being slow, and then I realized it said the app wasn't compatible, and the YouTube app we have isn't the same as the one from the play store.

I have this same issue. Youtube app is so slow in loading videos that it is unusable on my Nexus 7. Using Youtube via browser is a bit better but still way too slow. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Btw, what do you mean by different app? I think nexus7 yt app is certainly the same app as the one on Play store..
Not for me. Videos start streaming nearly instantly on the YouTube app. I jut tried a random HD video. It started in ~one second. I tried changing the location slider and it responded fluidly.
In fact, this is one of the things I like a lot about the nexus 7.
I have noticed that while Netflix is very responsive its try difficult to get the position slider to nudge just a little forward or back.
Stock, rooted.

That is strange because for me, it just keeps "loading" forever when I try to watch a video (the menus and search etc. still work nice and fast in the Youtube app).
Maybe I should do a factory reset to see if that fixes this issue. My Nexus is stock, unrooted. I love the way this tablet handles but this issue is driving me crazy..

I've noticed youtube videos take a while to start but once they've started there's no buffering issues and skipping to different parts works fine,
It seems Nexus 7 doesn’t like my internet connection / wlan router (Cisco epc3825).
When using 3G connection (using my Galaxy Nexus as wlan access point), Youtube works fine. But with my 40mbps cable connection, it’s a no go.
This sucks, especially since my 1st gen iPad works fine using the same connection. I guess there is no workaround other than to buy a new wlan router - anyone know of one that would work well with Nexus7?

EDIT: I switched to Zyxel router and everything works fine again.
Guys, i had the same problem and i just went into play store and deleted the last update.... There are a bunch of bad reviews for the latest update... Give it a try, it might work for ya as well ^-^
I tested with the stock rom and it loads fast. With custom roms it loads slow. Check it out.....

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.

Would like to show me how you're able to connect the n7 to the ps3? i want to try it out and see if I can fix the issue.
Well I use the app called bubbleupnp on the play store. As soon as you launch the app it acts as a media server. My ps3 and my xperia s and my laptop can connect to the n7. And stream view pics and music

Besides BubbleUPnP I've used UPnPlay, iMediaShare and Air Play to stream movies to the PS3.
Thanks. I'm gonna try that when i get home.

Streaming sports and movies

Do you stream sports or movies on your Nexus 7. If you do how? I've tried streaming through Firefox with flash player but get too much ads, the video stops playing and can't set flash to full screen. Any alternatives like sites or apps you guys use to stream?
The site I use is firstrow.

Use the AdBlock Plus addon in Firefox. Works great.

Great phone small glitch - movies freeze

This device is something special
The only thing we are lacking is the root methods I gotta say the s pen and it's new features are the business.
Now every once in a while when i attempt to watch a movie it freezes when I'm trying to get our of the video player I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this
