Hi!
I've been looking for an app like Airfoil (Mac/Windows program) for Android. What it does is "hijack" your audio source (program), and sends it via Airplay to compatible Airplay units.
Where the Airplay or DLNA is not a problem, there exists streaming apps in the market. What i wonder is if the hijack of other sources is possible in Android? Assuming it would require root.
Why i want this? Stream Spotify or Google music from my phone/tablet to reciever in living room without any messy servers and such.
- Thanks for any replies, Mixy

Hi!
This question has mostly to do with laziness
I have my PC downloading all sorts of media during the day, music, videos, etc...
as far as this discussion goes, all of them are completely legal and DRM-free.
My PC is a Dell laptop (i7-2670QM) running legit Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
I have a Samsung i9000 running ICS, and a B&N Nook Color Running CM7,
I tried reading about RTSP and UPnP and other stuff, but couldn't get my head around it, I'm usually good with computers, except for this case.
What I want to do is to setup a media streaming from my PC to any of my devices.
I don't even want my computer to re-encode the media, just stream it as-is, given that
you can play almost any format on android these days.
Is it possible?
If so, what do I need? can I use VLC, or do I have to setup something more serious?
Thanks,
Eugene

have you tried Remote Media Center?
links over 3g, 4g, or wifi. works with windows 7 media center and allows you to stream content from that media center to your phone.
I would suggest xbmc . It works both on windows and linux. It works as server as well as client. On phone side use "Home Dia" which also works as server as well as client.
minidlna is a very good , smal and handy dlna server for linux.
All these are free.
Is this what u need?

Ok So what you need to stream your music and all sound from your pc or laptop to your phone right? well if so just download the SoundWire on your Android phone, you can get free version and full version in my case i can get all paid apps for free and i can tell u how, but now download that app and then go to download the soundwire server at georgielabs.cjb.net/[/url] install it once installed open the Soundwire server then app the app and enter the server ip showed on ur Soundwire server on ur pc. Im using it with my wifi. so i hope is what u need! take care

You can simply go on play download free app called "mediahouse upnp" and it will find dlna servers or just use es file explorer which will find any device on your wifi network.

Use es file explorer. It detects network devices and let Yoy browse them (if You set everything properly). After that just open Your file

I have tried streaming 720p movies and it is impossible.
Is DLNa/UPnP limited from WiFi/Internet bandwidth?
I calculated that with a speed of 7mpbs it would be easy to stream 720p content. Supposedly the android tv box I have with the router could easily reach more than 7mbps but.. it doesn't! Why??
try ArkMc app use, by DLNA supporting and connect PC as a server and stream to other devices what do you want, video, photos..

HomeDJ is best alternative to any Android streaming apps
Try it.
No firewalls, dynamic playlists, nice GUI, easy to setup.
HomeDJ forum is here:
http://www.homedj.net/forum
or summary here:
http://www.homedj.net
Kinda late to the party here.
But after several moths on trying out various services mentioned here on the thread i found them to be complicated or just to much work to it.
After searching here in XDA i FINALLY found it. It called Tonido. It can stream any file from your PC (also Linux, and Mac) with a secure connection. Trust me try it out your self and you wont be disappointed.
Hope my post can help some out who is looking for such solution...
Greetings,
I've recently purchased a new Panasonic Blu-Ray player, and one of the features advertised the player as having the ability to use the (official Panasonic) Android app "panasonic blu-ray remote 2012" as a remote control.
Here's the deal - I've got ICS devices and this app is currently limited to Android OS 2.x! So while I've found links to the app, the Play store gives me the "this app location is not compatible..." banner. As such, I've only been able to install the app on my daughters Android MP3 player. Attempts to backup & transfer, but Astro won't back it up to an APK.
Is there an another way to obtain the apk to see if I can try it on my Galaxy Nexus and Asus Transformer?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Spence

Ok I have a spare S3 which i'm not going to use, so i plan to plug it to a TV via HDMI and use it as a multimedia center.
So from what i can see I need 2 things.
1. good app to wirelessly sync files between PC, Tablet, Smartphone and the S3 (option to stream media from the PC would be great as well)
2. A program to remote control the S3 from my other android smartphone
any other advise for the setup is welcome
no suggestions whatsoever? :>
Final attempt to get some advises
i don#t know of any app that is able to handle both, but as a start you might look at xbmc, wich actually is a media center, also avaliable for android.
i'd give you links to sites where you can download it (it's still in beta), but i have not enough posts to do so. you should google XBMC android chip.de
or
xbmc android androidpit
or somtething like this.
Hi
Been around the internet and cant find it. So better go to the source of knowlage. (xda forums)
My question is this, I can stream my diffrent android devices to my tv using dlna or allshare.
But what I am looking for is to stream my galaxy tab screen to the TV. Is this possible?
My first idee was some kind och application on my tab that transformed my screen to a dlna stream. Or a wireless HDMI connection of some sort.
Can some gentle soul point me in the right direction?
Best regards Mats
