i just set up a netflix account. i'm wondering how i can get movies on my phone and have them play on my tv? is this possible??? i plug it into the usb port on my tv and it doesn't show up. tried it into my bluray player also, still didn't show. switched the usb to disk mode, still nothing. any help would be great. thanks!
nevermind, just realized the usb isn't actually any kind of video output so its not possible unless i have a wifi gaming console or something. close thread if need be... thanks.
check the applications on your blu-ray player, it's possible that the unit itself can access your neftlix instant queue
As ricky states some blu-ray players have in there menu netflix installed. If the blu-ray player has built in wifi adapter connect to your wireless router and you are ready to go. If the player is wifi ready but no adapter you can get ethernet wireless adapter and use your PC to configure to connect to your router. Then plug into USB port on blu-ray player and you can stream Netflix with the player menu by selecting Netflix. Most of the newer blu-ray players have this capability.

I wanted to play Android games and watch some videos on my tv, i have a galaxy s2 but i don't have the HDMI cable, so my idea was to stream the screen to my pc and then connect him to the tv screen. i know there are some ways through vnc and stuff, but i wanted to get full screen like with the hdmi cable, is it possible to do that throught vnc alternatives or is there a better way so i can get my android fullscreen on my tv?
Hi.
I have a router that has a usb port with which I have a External usb2 hard drive.
The router has NAS capability and I can stream video to my TV/PS3.
I can use the all share app on the tab and watch video but it wont allow me to fast forward/rewind or start the video in another place apart from the beginning.
I just wondered if anyone could recommend an app for the tab which allows fast forwarding etc.
Many thanks.
Have you tried skifta?
I use Vplayer.
Maybe someone have the same problem. I connect my sg3 with MHL adapter with TV, but the view on TV its ugly, resolution is very low, on the phone video looks good, but on the tv its ugly. I try videos from phone, try play HD movie from plex media server in my pc, but i got the same problem.
I have an old Samsung LCD TV, only shows green screen when connected through the MHL cable. At first I thought it was the cable problem, but later I tried on the other TV, no issue.
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.

Hi,
not sure if this is the right forum but I figured I'll try here.
I recently purchased a two pack android portable dvd player tablet (DDAUTO DDA10D). It runs android 6.0 has HDMI out but not in. I would like my kids to be able to watch the same DVD and It does support screen casting and that works great if you play stuff over wifi, however...as soon as you enter a dvd or open the dvd player app it just turns off casting saying "disconnect screen from casting". The manufacturer does say this is not a supported feature but I was just wondering why? The DVDPlayer app (com.hcn.dvdplayer) must have something build in that stops casting when it launches. Is there any way to overwrite that or is there any other dvd player app I could install that has access to the internal dvd drive? I have not found one yet as they all assume it's just video files on internal storage. I've also installed multiple other screen casting apps with the exact same result. Somehow there must be a way to continue casting when a dvd plays as there are external dvd players from LG or Samsung that can cast to a tv if wanted and it does have build in DRM support so I don't know why this player would prevent that. Or could there be an additional app/feature installed that watches for the dvd player to launch and interrupts casting because of some Chinese copyright fears?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
That's weird. I have been using it since last summer, still no problems, everything works fine. I think it is a perfect little entertainment center for kids! Very easy to set up and use. I have spent a long time searching for a portable dvd player that supports both touch screen and HDMI function, so I can play movies and music on my phone for my kids while traveling.
Did you contact support?
