So, I was watching TV while checking out the apps on my Flyer when I came across the Connected Media app.
I'm scrolling through my photos in Connected Media when I looked up and there they were on the TV screen.
That was awesome!
I didn't have to futz with any settings - just open the app and go. Since the TV and the Flyer are on the same network, it just worked. How cool is that?
The same went for printing. The Flyer found my networked printer and it just started printing.
way cool HTC!

I have been thus far unable to see my pc in the AllShare "Remote Device" pane.
I've been on several sites looking for help but have come up empty handed. Anyone else had this problem?
My set up:
Windows 7
BT Home Hub 3
Galaxy S2
What I've done so far:
Enable Homegroup
In Windows Mdeia Player selected Stream > Automatically Allow Devices To Play My Media
Ensured that all of the Libraries I wish to share are set up correctly (they are as I can stream to my XBox360 no problem)
I open up AllShare, select "Remote Device" it scans and finds nothing.
I'm sure I'm being a complete 'tard, but cannot for the life of me figure out what I've done wrong!
Any ideas, folks?
From what I have seen so far on youtube I was under the impression that allshare is supposed to work the other way around - send for example a video stream from the phone to a TV or other dlna enabled device. I am not sure if it works from PC to the phone.
Got it figured, I did everything correctly except wait!
The Home Hub is on the ground floor and I'm on the top, with 5 other devices connected to the router. It was taking a minute or two to discover my pc, then a further minute each level of directory down.
I've rebooted the Home Hub and it has improved markedly, although the types of file that will stream over to the device are somewhat restricted; avi's play fine, mkv and mpeg will not play. Music seems fine.
Tried to send some video to my XBox but was unsuccessful, may not be enough bandwidth I guess...
Do you know what codecs it supports? I'm running Orb on my Mac Mini and trying to stream so AVIs but it's not playing ball...

did you remember to put the xbox into media centre mode first, before trying to send video?
Not sure if this has been mentioned but I just picked up a HTC flyer last week and just found something pretty cool. Well, I have a Sony Google tv bluray player and just noticed you can stream your music, pictures, and movies directly to your bluray player. Someone needs to get fired on the google PR team I'm constantly finding new ways to use my device. Apple is always letting their sheep know every little new feature. But hey I'm happy.

Apple has to plug every little feature so their sheep can find them.
Google knows we can find it on our own. Plus, its fun to find something new.
I have the Logitech Review (Google TV) which I am having fun with. You can use your Flyer as a TV remote using the Google TV Remote app.
If you have a media server on your network, you can stream from it using Google TV too.
I am sure that I have barely scratched the surface of what the two devices can do.
FYI:
You don't need a Google TV device to stream your pictures, videos and music. The app Connected Media on the Flyer streams to my networked Samsung TV on its own.
You don't need Google TV to do that. Any DLNA compatible TV or DVD player and even my DirectV boxes can talk to the Flyer allowing streaming of video, music and photos.
My Moto Droid X2 does DLNA as well.
Works with my Samsung TVs too.
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.

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.

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 have a computer with a bunch of storage attached to my one and only TV downstairs.
Its got movies, shows, and music aplenty.
Sometimes I want to watch some of that stuff upstairs, or outside or whatever on my phone/nexus7. I have airstream set up and it works well for streaming, but I cant delete/move things remotely, which I would like to do.
Any ideas?
Hi guys,
Previously I'd all my videos on my Macbook and I was using Videostream to cast everything to my Chromecast (with the Videostream app on my Android phone as remote), that was working fine but didn't work with DVD files and my Macbook had to be on when I'd like to watch something.
Yesterday I came across a old 400GB SATA harddisk of mine so I thought: what if I connect that drive to my TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND router which does have a USB port and build-in network share and dnla/upnp support. So I've connected everything with a cheap sata/usb adapter from Ebay, connected the network share to my Macbook and PC and copied some videos to it.
I can't run any applications on my router like Videostream or Plex so I need a app on my Android phone which can stream from my network share to my Chromecast. I've searched around and tried Allcast and Localcast:
- Allcast, I can't find a way to access the network share.
- Localcast, works great through samba and dnla/upnp! But... I can't get subtitles working which are builtin my mkv video files. I didn't try dvd files yet.
Also I'm looking for a functionality which can keep track on what movies I've watched.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
try airflow app
Airflow is only for music...
Don't tested with Chromecast, but Bubbleupnp is a nice streaming app. Give it a try.
