Hi
Is there an application that can stream the sound sent to speaker or headphones to UPNP or DLNA compatible devices?
The idea is to stream what is playing in the android device to a device like Sonos
Thanks
A device like Sonos or a real Sonos? If its a Sonos, just download their app. Otherwise, just search the market, I believe there are some apps which do this. Some HTC and Samsung models even have their own app to do this

It's a sonos system but the solution could apply to any DLNA/UPnP renderer.
Sonos supports some streaming providers like spotify and supports playing music from a media or NAS server.
The issue arrives when using some streaming providers that are not supported by sonos (like a provider in Denmark called TDC Play) or that cannot send the sound via DLNA/UPnp (play to) . So the solution is then for sonos to support this provider or in case this is not possible to make the android system streaming what is being played through the speaker or headphones.
I'm searching the net for some time and so far could not find any app capable of doing this. There are apps that can stream music, video and pics stored in the android device but not streaming what is being played through the speaker or headphones.
Cheers

Sonos controller has this functionality now to play songs from your android device directly. Look for "This mobile device". Just get a huge sdcard and put your fav songs there. It would work for the most part.
Android controller apps that support UPnP server streaming to Sonos renderers
I have been able to use the android apps BubbleUPnP and Belkin MediaPlay (was Twonky Beam) to connect to my TomatoUSB router running its DLNA server and send the mp3 tracks on the flash drive on the router to my Sonos speakers as the DLNA renderer.
Most other android UPnP apps I tested either did not find the Sonos as a renderer or were not capable of playing music to a remote renderer at all.
I don't know if there is any open source code to help one to do this, though one of the apps (SlickUPnP) I tested was open source, but did not support remote renderers at all.
Could you find a solution?
Hi mtsales,
Could you find any app which can send the system audio to sonos speakers over upnp/dlna?

Like the title says but it could be simpler. I'm looking for a way (app possibly) to stream audio from a share on my server to my phone. I've tried ORB but my impression is that it uses ORB servers to stream over the internet. I want a simple solution to stream audio over the network and to be able to play the music as if it was on the phone. I have a working VPN so my end result would be to be able to stream no matter where I am in the world as if the music was on the phone.

Have you tried the DLNA app that comes on the Atrix? It works great for me!
So Google Music App can stream to Bluetooth perfectly fine but not DLNA or over WiFi. Seems like it should be able to stream DLNA or WiFi if it can handle Bluetooth. Any technical reason why it cannot? I have only been able to get it to play over Bluetooth, Headphones or connect directly to Media device but not DLNA or WiFi the most ideal connections. With the infamous Nexus Q I believe it could connect and stream via WiFi but that is the only instance I am aware of. So outside of buying a discontinued Nexus Q our all powerful devices are crippled? Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.
Any developer out there that wants to make some money, please develop an App to accomplish this. 20,000 songs on my Google Music account and I you limit how I can play my music.

The Google music app will not do what you want, but BubbleUPnP in the play store is the best DLNA app out there and can directly access music you have stored on Google music and stream that over DLNA (along with many other talents, it really is a great app!)

Yeah, but you'll have to purchase BubbleUPnP. Now, that wouldn't be a big deal, it's just that I prefer the Google Play Music app for Google music streaming, hence by resorting to 3-rd party apps such as BubbleUPnP you end up fragmenting your playback environment. I'd frankly love to see Google's app doing DLNA streaming as well, hence I'm with antwan30184 on this. Furthermore, if not acting as a DLNA server, at least DLNA client would still earn kudos with me.
You can try AirPlay/DLNA Receiver (PRO) too, it's work fine to me.
My guess is that Google intentionally limits this functionality to bolster Chromecast.
There's an app called "Cast to UPnP/DLNA for GMusic" that runs as a service and will allow you to cast DLNA devices through Google Music. It's strange, but if you have it running on one device on your network, all devices will be able to cast to the DLNA device through Google Music.
Hey all
I'm very much interested in being able to send my music/audio from my phone to a DLNA renderer on my home network. There are plenty of individual apps out there to do this, such as BubbleUPnP, Twonky, etc, or even indeed the music app built in to my HTC One X. However what I'm wondering is if there's a way to have all music/audio re-directed over WiFi to a DLNA renderer?
What I'm looking for would be something similar to when you plug in headphones or connect a Bluetooth audio device: any application that plays media has the audio directed to the headphones or bluetooth connection, instead of the internal phone speaker - that's exactly what I want, but with the audio being directed over WiFi to a DLNA renderer. I'd configure the app/service/whatever to send all audio over DLNA, and then it doesn't matter whether I'm using Dogcatcher, Spotify, the built-in Music app or Google Music - all audio automatically gets directed to the DLNA renderer.
Having to use yet another app on top of the various media applications I already use is a real pain; plus I highly doubt any of the existing applications will support Spotify streams (Twonky and BubbleUPnP don't), and I had little success when experimenting with Twonky yesterday. As mentioned my built-in music app already does this so I'm already part of the way there, but I'd like it to be system-wide rather than app specific.
The DLNA renderer I'll be using will either be a standard PC running XBMC, or a headless Raspberry Pi embedded Linux computer; either way they'll both be fully UPnP/DLNA compliant.
To be honest, I don't even know if this is possible; I have a feeling that it'll have to be on a per-application basis. But hey, no one ever learned anything by not asking questions

Capturing audio emitted by any app is not possible on Android. There's no API to do it. Probably because Google did not want apps to be able to do it.
Since capturing audio is perfectly possible on a PC, that's in line with the dumbing down of general computing.

Cheers for the reply; at least I know there's no point in further googling!
Looks like it'll have to be on a per-app basis then.
It is possible, with root access

With root access you can get to the system audio, but as far as I know only apps that output this via airplay currently exist...
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.
How doesn’t an Android have a global audio out to DLNA or another audio streaming protocol in 2019?
I know there are single apps that use DLNA but those don’t allow streaming from apps like TIDAL, Soundcloud, and the many, many other streaming services..
I’m looking for a way to have some type of global audio stream with my rooted Android 6 device. Does anyone have suggestion?
