I would like to turn my Nexus 7 into a youtube TV so that I select the video that I want on my laptop and play it on my nexus 7 which is connect via the wifi. Is it possible? The only option that I saw, which was close enough was CheapCast, which is not currently maintained and it need the chromecast app in mobile devices.
I am hoping to turn my nexus 7 into a tv so I can pair it via the youtube in my laptop. Any idea?
Sounds like a good idea... But I have no idea how. If you find out be sure to come back and say how you did it.

Basically, once I get my Nexus 7 (Tuesday) I'd love to play games like Dead Trigger and Shadowgun on a big display with my PS3 controller. I know that I can get the sixaxis controller app working but I have no idea how I'll display the image off my laptop onto the TV (which is not a smart TV) and (if possible with some sort of splitter charge at the same time). I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me.
Bump! Anybody know? I wanna do this too.

Mhl but the n7 doesn't support it
Nexus 7 of HELLBoy
Don't think Nexus 7 supports output to TV

MHL = nope
But you can check this out:

what about wifi direct?
Pretty sure its just for file transfer, but I don't have a TV that supports it to test. There's no MHL so you can scratch that. This thing by HTC has been the only thing I've seen that lets you do some stuff, but seems pretty limited
You can use the stupid expensive pricey nexus q

Hey everyone!
My Nexus 7 will be here Wednesday (YAY!)
And I just read that the USB port isn't MHL
Without buying the Nexus Q (All I have in the country is my 4g tether) how can I use an external monitor on my new tablet?
I noticed that there are 4 pogo pins on the nexus 7 vs the 3 on the galaxy nexus. Is there video out on these? Also my M18x has something called WI-HD that allows me to wirelessly transmit my monitor signal to a reciever connected to my tv. Is there any way my new tab can do something similar? I suppose I can just use my galaxy nexus for my Play TV shows but I was kind of looking forward to playing games on the big screen.
Thanks!
Bump. any suggestions guys?
There is no cable solution... chances are there will be a software WiFi Direct solution, but not yet.
Thanks for the info.

HTC has WiFi media steam thingy box .... although I think it works only for videos

I cant get WiFi Direct to work with my Nexus 7 + Galaxy Nexus, Xbox, or LG TV box. My Note 2 and Gs3 works fine work fine with the Xbox and LG TV box. Does anyone know why the issue is. I have tried a few apps from the play store but no dice.

Hi.
Apologies in advance if this has been covered - I've searched but can't find an answer.
I bought this cable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0060AU5MW/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title to connect up my Sharp TV to my Nexus 10 and although I have connected it up to the appropriate HDMI port, I get nothing at all. I'm sure I'm being dim, but a) have I bought the right cable and b) is there something clever I should now do to make it work? Or, c) have I just cocked the whole thing up?
Many thanks, in advance!
Re: [Q] Watching Netflix through my TV via HDMI?
Netflix blocks HDMI mirroring. An updated version for smartphone allows it, but nothing new for the tablet version yet.

Thank you for the response. I have tried to also play other videos from the Nexus 10 through the TV, without luck. It may be just my cackhandedness, or the TV, but I am selecting the correct HDMI port and still seeing (and hearing) nothing. I would LOVE to find a solution, if anyone can help? Ta!

I hope no-one minds if I bump this, but I'm at my wit's end!
The only way I've found to make this work, is to have both devices turned off (TV and Nexus10), then connect the HDMI cable, then turn on both the N10 and TV. Once the N10 is half way through the boot sequence, the TV should display everything that's on the Tablet onto the TV.
It's a pain in the ass to have to turn off the tablet and turn it back on... but that's the only solution I've found so far. I read that if you try to connect the mini HDMI while the tablet is on... it could damage it?? I dunno if that's true or not.

This is false info. I've been using HDMI mirroring with Netflix for years! HTC evo, galaxy s 2, galaxy nexus, nexus 4 and my nexus 10. All without rooting.
To op. Perhaps the cable you have isn't very good. Mine just works. I have to wait a couple seconds for sound but that's it.
Mine is from amazon company is mediabridge.
Likewise here, got an el-cheapo cable off of eBay and it just works. Not tried tried Netflix but my own videos and stills display no problem. I know it's a noddy question but are sure you have the TV setup correctly, selected the right input etc?

I think so. I put the cable into the hole marked 'HDMI 6' and then select that on my TV, but I get nothing at all. I bought this cable, which seems to work for other people: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0060AU5MW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Does it look okay? Am I missing something?
Many thanks!
The cable looks fine, do you have another device to try it with? A camera for example.

hey. i am using Miracast to play videos on the tv. the tv model is LA6600 and its one of the latest models. i experience lag while using it so i cant play games on my TV. and when i use it it takes a second to respond. is it because of the tv or my phone? thanks for answers
It's because of the technology and this behaviour is normal using miracast.

thanks. i saw this link while looking for it so i though it should play with min delays. i mean i wish i could play games on a bigger screen.
a bit offtopic but...
Is there any way to use miracast on my smart tv? When I do not have wifi dongle on the tv, I'm using patch cable to connect tv to router and wifi to connect G2 to the same router.
Is there any "trick" to mirror G2 screen to TV? (Ican watch pics and movies directly on tv with smartshare function) But I cannot mirror the screen
If your tv support miracast it should work I think.

my LG smart TV supports miracast, G2 supports miracast, but the TV does not have WiFi module It's been connected with patch cable to the router and when I try to start miracast from the phone it does not "find" my TV
any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?
I have no idea. Search for network requirements needed for miracast to work. Maybe you'll find something useful.
