Just wondering if there is anything similar to AirVideo for iOS. For those of you that are unfamiliar, it streams/converts video from your PC to your phone.
Yes please, Ive tried using other alternatives but they simply dont work as well.
Well the included Allshare DLNA application will stream compatible video from a DLNA compliant server over wifi (XBMC, Xbox360, PS3, MediaCenter)....
I use XBMC on my home media server, and it streams fine to the phone. Not familiar with AirVideo, so I cannot compare how "functional" it is relative to what's built in to our phones.
there is some free ubuntu software that works with this too. VLC I think and Tomb media player is what I am using at home. You can stream videos to Tomb and and connect to tomb over the phone through allshare.

so, there used to be a program called ORB that allowed you to stream audio/video/pictures from your home network devices to your evo4g; they stopped updating it awhile ago, and, it no longer works with 2.3.3
has anyone found a system/program, that allows you to stream stuff from your home DLNA compliant sources, to the EVO3d?
preferably, via 3g/4g, so it would work when you are away from your home wifi..
thanks so much!
Yes, it comes preinstalled on the EVO.. its called media server... When you click on gallery, you can touch the top bar and pick media server and it will search for available content...

unfortunately, it doesnt show any of the videos on my 2 DLNA compliant NAS boxes...
anyone else find anything?
thanks!
Try using iMediaShare, its a free app that works well on my PS3.
imedia share shows the nas boxes on my network, but, wont play any .mkv files, which is how I encode my bluray movies...
I guess I need a media player that plays .mkv files over the network...
I used iMediaShare with MoboPlayer and it plays mkv from DLNA sources. It stutter a little.

how do you get imedia share to use moboplayer?
I can't seem to get imedia share to see that I want to use moboplayer to play vids..
thanks!
I didn't have to do anything, it switched to MoboPlayer when I pick a mkv movie.
is the .mkv file on your phone, or on your home network server?
I need to see stuff on my home network server..
thanks
mkv is on my WDTV Live player. I'm streaming DLNA from the WDTV Live.
I was trying to stream with SMB to the Evo 3D but couldn't get it to work without it downloading the whole movie before it plays. My Archos 101 have no issue streaming 720p mkv through SMB.

I wish I could get Imedia to see my NAS drives, where I keep all my media stuff..
I used to use a program called Orb to stream stuff from my NAS boxes to my phone, and it worked like a charm, via 3/4g and wifi..unfortunately, they never updated the program to work with 2.3...
Oh well, I guess I will keep looking. thanks for your suggestions!
I'm still looking for a solution to stream 3g/4g. Currently I can only stream on the LAN. Let me know if you find something.
its not DLNA, but you might try subsonic
So you have taken some pictures and a movie on your new PRIME and you want to stream the slide show or show the movie via your HTPC (of course connected to your TV). You don't want to connect your PRIME to the TV via an HDMI cable. You don't want to physically upload the multi-media to your HTPC, just stream it.
So what app are you using on the PRIME?
What software are you using on your HTPC?
Is the connection WiFi or Bluetooth?
So who has done this and what is your solution?
I am ONLY looking for working solutions that you have had success with.
Me too! I want something like the splashtop app but reversed.

Thanks everyone for your input.
The MirrorOp product line (software & hardware) from AWINDINC looks exactly what I want for WiFi projection from my PRIME to a HTPC. They support MAC's and PC's with their software.
Basically you need their sender software on your PRIME tablet and their receiver software on your PC. The MirrorOP Photo Sender is FREE and does not require ROOT. The MirrorOP Sender software cost $10, requires ROOT, can project video but NO audio. Also your PC must have WiFi or be on lan network that has Wifi. You also need to visit their website to get your PC or MAC software to be able to receive your video.
BubbleUPnP is going to take a little time to play with to see if it will work.
I am going to try the MirrorOP software this evening and report back tomorrow.

The MirrorOP Sender works GREAT. You get about 5 minutes FREE usage. If you want more then you must pay $10. NO AUDIO and about 20 FPS according to their test program.
The MirrorOP Photo Sender works and is FREE but there is a problem with colors so not recommended with the current release.
Both of these apps were tested from my ROOTED PRIME.
The PC Receiver program is FREE and works with both apps.
My quest was to find an app for the PRIME and software for my HTPC to stream video or pictures FROM the PRIME to the HTPC via WiFi. With your help I have found the software to do that job.
Now I am looking to add AUDIO to the upload from the PRIME to my HTPC for the perfect combination!
Any suggestions for that perfect combination would be appreciated.

Since you mention an HTPC as a client why not use DLNA/UPnP? Most pads have a DLNA server, ASUS adds for free MyNet, use that to share your media files with your HTPC client.
Just launch the media player on your HTPC (for sure it will support DLNA/UPnP) search for a server (the MyNet on your TP), browse for your media and .... play.
You might want to enable Digital Media Server under the settings of MyNet. I believe it's on by default, I have it always off.
The MirrorOP someone suggested you is basically a remote desktop server (needing a proprietary client) which replicates your local TP screen to your client. There are very few remote desktop solutions that support sound as well.
Use Skifta (free on android market).
It's an DLNA enabled player that let's you pick your DLNA source and render target.
Using the TF201 as the source and my HTPC (XBMC Eden Beta 3 / Win 7.. be sure to enable "Allow control of XBMC via UPNP" in Network Settings) as the target, I was able to stream over wifi.
Short movie clip I made from TF201's camera worked with both video and audio. I also was able to stream RIO.mkv from TF201 which surprised me. It's 1080p h.264 (encoded full profile at CQ19) mkv with 5.1 sound. I only watched about 4 minutes though.
I tried to bypass the HTPC and use my TV (Ethernet DLNA enabled Samsung LN46C750) as the DLNA target but playback wasn't smooth. It would play for 3-4 seconds, buffer, resume playing, buffer again, etc.,.. Going through HTPC worked much better.
Thanks for the post, as I had not thought to test Skifta this way. Normally, I just use it pick music on my NAS (10TB Synology 411J) for playback on the HTPC.
I think 2player and bubbleupnp(not free) should also work like skifta.. but I haven't tested them..

Thanks for your input. I want to play music and video from the PRIME to my HTPC.
I am aware of several apps for my PRIME for DLNA server functions:
Skifta
UPnPlay which requires a 3rd party player for video.
BubbleUPnP
The questions is what is the best software for my Windows 7 PC to be a DLNA CLIENT?
I am not using XBMC but MediaPortal for my HTPC functions.
There is an XDA forum for BubbleUPnP - UPnP/DLNA Control Point and Renderer.
The BubbleUPnP Server site. BUBBLEUPNP SERVER IS NOT AN UPNP AV MEDIA SERVER. It requires at least one working UPnP AV Media Server (Windows Media Player, Twonky, Asset UPnP, ...) to do something useful.
I will try BubbleUPnP tonight.
Awwww man, i thought this thread was going to lean towards mirroring.

My Desktop PC has a TV car in it and I record and watch shows through it, at the moment I can stream the recorded TV shows and other videos to my Nexus 10 using ES File Explorer.
However I am curious to find out if there is a way of streaming the live TV as it plays on my Desktop PC, over the wi-fi to my Nexus 10?
I know VLC player has some streaming capabilities with TV cards.. don't know how effective this will be?
Is their an easier way, other programs designed for this?
I do use TV Catchup app on my tablet to watch live TV sometimes but I would like a solution that is just utilizing the wi-fi and not the internet connection!
Cheers.

I would think a media extender app would be more useful. Like the how the xbox 360 app works. That would take care of the storage issue and the copy protection. Anyone know of one or a reason that wouldn't work?
1. Remote Media Center App + Remote Potato: Have not tried it and it may not be compatible with jellybean 4.2 according to the reviews.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1.rempotatoclientlivetv&feature=search_result
2. XBMC will connect to hdhomerun tuners but you will need to provide a file with a list of channels for your particular cable provider.
http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13220
Xbmc can connect to various backend tv servers (android app are still beta), like mediaportal tv server, and you don't need any additional files provided that you setup tv server right. Other option are using mediaportal and ampdroid app, but you have to setup mediaextender program in addition, on pc.

I'm sure everyone is somewhat familiar with Samsung's AllShare Cast dongle that's used to wirelessly "cast" media from a Samsung device(your Note 3) to the AllShare Cast hardware dongle/device attached to any compatible TV... What I'm curious about is does anyone have experience with any of the other hardware devices used for screen mirroring or "casting" directly from their device to an attached dongle or TV? In your opinion, what's the BEST out there? I've already got a Chromecast and it works well for what it's supposed to do...it streams NetFlix, Youtube, Hulu Plus, Google Play Music, Google Play Videos, but it DOESN'T stream directly from a mobile device....YET. So it doesn't fully meet my needs right now. I know the Roku is an option, but I was just wanting your opinions on any device you prefer.
Thanks guys!
I recently got the Chromecast and wish it did everything, but only time will tell.
This is probably in the minority, but I use my server/htpc with XBMC to play everything else. XMBC allows DLNA devices, so I can stream local content on my phone to the computer. I also use it to stream some other content. For example, I use Anime Plus app to watch some anime. It gives me the option to use external players, because of this I choose the default Samsung player and then click the AllShare icon to send it to my computer. If there are other apps out there that allows you to use the default video player, then you should be able to do the same.
For music, I use Subsonic since it's also on my htpc computer, but I rarely play music through my TV.
Hey guys, i'm looking for best android apps to stream videos to chromecast. The problem is that most of them only support mp4 files. I found only one that supports all file formats, it transcodes the file on the fly on your phone and streams directly to chromecast. its called Megacast. Does anyone know anything similar?
Try using Plex... It's a paid app, but free from time to time in Amazon App Store
Megacast - Chromecast Video
This isn't strictly a Chromecast app, but rather than Android one that you'll need to download on your phone. Regardless of how you get it on your TV, through, Megacast is an excellent Chromecast player that has real-time transcoding support, allowing you to play files from your phone or tablet that aren't supported natively on your individual Chromecast device. This includes AVI, MKV, 3GP files and more. It can also automatically pre-load subtitles or let you add your own, making it one of the most flexible video streaming apps around
The Google Chromecast lets you display video, photos, pictures and other media content from supported apps on your big-screen TV, using your Android or iOS device as a remote control. You can also send content straight from a Chrome Web browser on your computer. There are hundreds of apps that take advantage of this unique technology, which Google calls "casting," to offer a new way to link.
Try BubbleUPnP
BubbleUPnP, many video + audio options, local transcoding, supports configurable subtitles and transcodes only when necessary.
Plex always transcodes when using subtlitles, always thanscodes if audio is Dolby/DTS to Stereo, and does not support AC3 passthrough as BubbleUPnP does.
Plex is a hog.
+1 for BubbleUPnP, amazing Android app. With a good media server running on the pc (like Serviio) you can stream everything to your Chromecast (transcoding is done by the pc).
Not a huge fan of BubbleUPnP, when I download something off ttorrent, its a roll of the dice of it will work with it. I'd have to say my go to is local cast. Worst is allcast
Allcast isnt bad. I mainly use it to stream Showbox
Plex by far.

Emby all the way. Its,s free, its for, its better than plex
BubbleUPnP also works with DLNA and transcoding on the fly. With a powerfull device is amaizing. Slow devices work with hickups. Waiting for a while for Mxplayer to chromecast but still no go.
