A quick check of Amazon.com releaves that Sony seems to be the only one making DLNA speakers. Several Home Audio Amps and BluRay players are coming with that feature, as well as Smart HDTVs. I have a few of both, and am truly enjoying throwing music from my tablet to my home theater via a Sharp Smart TV. Can't help you with a speaker choice though. Maybe a few more brands will show up with DLNA speakers this year.

I wonder if they will work with video from netflix or mx video player coming on the screen still but sound out of the dlna or is it bad idea or impossible?

DLNA support is still a mixed bag as far as my experience shows. I haven't seen any device or app that can split up the audio and video to output to different devices. Anything I can throw video at gets the audio as well. At best you can keep a now playing screen up for audio on the tablet when sending the actual music output to a speaker or amp or TV. Yet if the audio or video is web based, wifi is occupied and I haven't yet found a way to also use DLNA to forward either the audio or video part of it to another device. Not to say it won't be possible in the future, but DLNA is a relatively new technology. I suspect we'll eventually see two wifi channels/chips in these devices, mainly to support wifi in and DLNA out simultaneously.
so what you suggest, should I buy one or wait??!!!??
its actually quite expensive as well..
I have both the tablet s n sans300 dlna speakers n it all works fine for me. Haven't been able to play a movie on the tablet with the sound via the speakers with dlna but the speaker has an audio in port where u can just plug a 3.5mm audio jack in to play as a regular speaker...
Btw, the sans300 is amazing n has great audio quality wherever u r in the room...I just wish that it also ran on batteries so it can just "float" in the middle of the room...

So ns300 needs AC supply??

I think in my case then some bluetooth speaker solution would be best if i want to split audio and video. Could someone recommend some please.

The same splitting problem will still be present as it is not possible for a DLNA Renderer of any kind to play media it is not able to play (i.e. speakers cannot play movies). DLNA just doesn't work like that.
It's also worth noting that DLNA support for me has been far from a "mixed bag" when using the stock Sony apps, so they're definitely a better bet.
When these speakers will be available in Singapore..

why use DNLA ....
..... use bluetooth, logic make a BT connetor that you can use on any speakers I've got one set up that uses all my mobile devices including laptops galaxy note Tablet s etc.
Be wary that using Bluetooth does invoke a certain loss in audio quality, but does enable you to connect without WiFi. They are quite different technologies after all.
As for the DLNA's availability, you might be best asking the Sony Central (or Style) in Singapore about that.
Yes, thats true there is a loss (or so they tell me), but if like me, you cant tell the difference, meh.
The sound comes out of the speakers and the vid plays on the tab, and the logic is only about 30 quid so if you've already got speakers no need to buy new ones.

So has this happened to anyone else?
You're exploring the handful of apps on your 3D that you haven't even gotten a chance to look at yet, and you find several that seem really cool, albeit a tad repetitive (here I'm thinking Dock, Media Share, Connected Media..etc.) and you think "wow, awesome, I can stream movies from this phone to my other devices" or "wow, awesome, I can transfer HDMI video from this phone to other devices"....
..and then you realize that to do ANY of these cool things, you'll need either for the other device (e.g., your PC) to be DLNA compatible, or else you'll need to go out and buy an HDMI cord...or else a docking station.
I guess this post is 1/2 complaint and 1/2 question, but to be fair I should ask the question before I complain too much: do I HAVE to have a DLNA/HDMI cable/Dock station to do some/most of these cool functions? I mean obviously I can copy/paste files onto other devices--or even doing so wirelessly using bluetooth, Samba, etc..---but it seems like the coolest functions all require stuff I don't have, and I guess I'm especially confused about DLNA since my laptop is a dell from last September...seems new enough to have supported DLNA...
Alternately, is there a workaround for DLNA? A program or device or add-on I can use to make my laptop compatible?
OK I guess that's my rant, sorry and thanks for listening...
I'm no DLNA expert, but I think that any PC/Laptop running Windows that has WIFI can support DLNA, I'm pretty sure its just a matter of having the software.
Also you should be able to send data to your TV through a XBOX 360 or Playstation 3, I believe they both support DLNA.

All you have to do to make your computer work with DLNA is to go into windows media player, make sure WMP is in full screen, then in the tool bar click stream, then make sure "allow remote control of my player" is selected, and "automatically let devices play my media" is selected. then click" more streaming options" and see if there are any devices found, then make sure none are blocked. Now your done.
EDIT: make sure your all your devices are on the same wifi network for this to work

There's really only two major services for streaming, Airplay (Apple) and DLNA (Everyone else). You've got plenty of options as mentioned above including any windows device, ps3, etc.

Scotbot this is great! Now I can stream my media from my phone to my windows media player--very nice! I followed your steps, and then went into media share and enabled certain folders to be shared, and voila!
I guess the only better thing would be if I could actually use "Connected Media" to share with WMP--b/c then the phone would be the controller from what I understand. As it is, Media Share simply lets WMP access my phone, but Connected Media actually lets me play a movie on my phone that then automatically streams to other devices...I'm guessing that actually requires legit DLNA...?
Thanks for the post! I can now send 2D videos and photos to my laptop and my Samsung LCD TV! Works great!!!
Has anyone else seen the press release about Samsungs new android compatible optical drive. It looks like it could be the thing that allows me to ditch the laptop once and for all but one thing concerns me. The press release says:
" Through its AV connectivity mode, the drive is also ideal for Tablet PC users that want to view or hear content from a disc."
It looks to me like it won't be a fully functioning r/w DVD drive. Calling it AV mode implies it will only allow you to view media files, and not actually use it looked a proper drive.
Any views?

Sounds extremely old-fashioned and unnecessary. I havnt used optical drives for... I think its 5 years now.
Flashdrives is far superior in every. single. way.
But you can't rip a CD or DVD with a flash drive. When I buy music I still want a physical medium because I don't like being beholden to music sites. Also, living in a rural area my broadband is too slow for streaming video, so DVD is still format of choice for buying films.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I always download a copy of whatever I buy. If, for some very strange reason, I need to rip something, I got 3 laptops that can do that just fine :d
I cant stand the sound of a DVD reader, the constant disc-swapping, the bulkiness of the dvd discs, the risk of getting scratches on it rendering the dvd unusable (not that I have ever scratched a single dvd/cd though, but I know a lot of people who have lol).
Ok so some people (like you) still uses cd/dvd discs but... I really cant see why you would want that on a tablet? It kinda defeats half the purpose of a tablet - mobility.
Ever tried to move a cd/dvd reader while its working (not talking portable ones here)? It will most certainly lose focus on what it was reading. And even portables will lose focus if you give them a slight tap, or move them too fast...
A flashdrive, on the other hand, can be thrown into a wall while working, without losing focus (If we ignore the chance of it coming lose and just focus on the impact force).
Aaaanyyyyywayyyyy... This wasnt ment to be a rant-post, even though it turned out like that... Sorry, I'll leave this thread now and leave it to people who are interested in old-fashioned media :d
I refer back to the fact that rural broadband is useless for downloading copies of anything, I wouldn't use it on the move (I would want it just to rip copies of things).
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I can't remember when was the last time I actually use the DVD-drive.. I have PC running windows 7 with the latest super multi DVD drive...but... I haven't really use it these days.. Everything these days uses USB memory stick, I use it in my car, use it for my TV, use it for my PC and use it for my TF101..
BUT.... still it's a great news if our TF101 can run this external DVD-drive somehow.. it added the feature and functionality to this already awesome TF101.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app
I agree about not using optical disks as much anymore. There are only two things left that I use my DVD drive for. Ripping my movies when I buy a new disk so I can keep them all on my NAS, and burning photo DVDs for my clients (wedding photography).
Unfortunately, neither of those things will be changing until something better than current media formats comes around. Movies still come on disk (unless you want to by choked by excessive DRM) and optical discs are still more stable for long term storage than flash drives. Given that, I can understand why some folks might still want an optical drive option. I could hook the drive up to my tablet and demo the images direct from the DVD I'm about to give a client.
Pffffft...

This app is just amazing, I have made a server on plex for my 1tb hard drive and can easily watch movies on my nexus 10 from any where. At home, I just connect the n10 to my tvand stream the movies from the plex server to my n10 through WiFi which then shows it on my HD TV. The cool part is that I use my nexus 4 as plex remote through the app
$5 app, but totally worth it

I completely agree. It's a fantastic application. Bought it a long time ago and it continues to receive updates. One of the best apps you can drop money on!

Huh? Unless OP works for Plex or gets a commission on the whopping $5 the app costs he's most likely sharing something s/he finds useful with others which is more than anyone can say about your snarky retort. Plex happens to be a great tool for sharing video over your network or for accessing your network via Wi-Fi or 3/4G while traveling. For the latter it transcodes based on the available bandwidth. It's also pre-installed on LG TVs and is certified to run on Samsung SmartTVs. You can also share your media library (and vice versa) with friends that use Plex.
Here are some pics of it on an N2 and a link to a discussion in their forum.

Absolutely right there.I have 2 tb of movies, pictures, songs, etc,and I can easily view them out of he house/ country on my mobile devices. I have also given my account info to my family members and friends from different parts of the world. I did not get paid or anything to advertise, been using poles since 2009

I haven't tried plex but I'd imagine it has hardware decoding that works fine, but if I'm not mistaken its just a light client. With XBMC you're getting the full XBMC that you get on the desktop or whatever other platform. Having said that I haven't run it on my nexus 10 yet and I'm not sure if there's a build with hardware accel for it but there probably is one out there (Unfortunately the xbmc.org build does not have it), but I run a build on my android g-box midnight tv box and it works great.
XBMC works great on the N10, the recently released Archos Video also runs great but is a little light on configurability, they're actively working on it though.

Plex is great. aMPdroid with Media Portal is good too, and free. Plex is much easier to setup and better for sharing with other people. Roku's even have a Plex app for accessing your media servers. The upside of aMPdroid is you can use external players, and it's free. If I didn't want to share my media with anyone I would stick with aMPdroid because Media Portal is much better on desktop/HTPC than Plex, using external players is very useful, and remote access can be done through secure vpn etc. You can access files remotely with aMPdroid just like Plex, and even stream TV, it is just harder to setup for your friends and family, and there is no iOS support.

Yes, both Plex and aMPdroid stream mkv files with audio. Every once in awhile a file won't play in Plex but you can always find a way to play files with an external player with aMPdroid.

You'll not need any option.
Buy ezcast, it's 15$ dongle and with ezcast app you'll be more than satisfied.
I'm using it on all my devices (Z1, N7, XU...)and I'm planning to use it on TS.
I have cast screen option on Nexus 7 and it can't detect dongle but as I said - ezcast app is doing great job and.
Literally - plug and play...

But ezcast is best for mirroring and wifi video/pist/music sharing (from other device)

There are quite a few dongles that apparently support eZcast, however does this work much the same way as Chromecast works where you only use your phone as a remote control... where as miracast is actually mirroing your device screen instead of just syncing the Casting Dongle to play the same content from where you left off?

5 Very Useful Apps For Android TV
Android TV is pretty great when you're using it with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu or if you're casting stuff from your phone. However you might have noticed that it's lacking a lot of interesting apps in its watered down version of the Play store. You'll skim through it really quick, realize there is nothing good and then you'll back out. Before you stick a fork in an electrical outlet due to disappointment, how about I show you some of these useful Android TV apps that don't get a whole lot of attention.
Sideload Launcher - Android TV
Most of us probably find ourselves sideloading a lot of apps onto Android TV to makeup for the lack of ones available on the Play store. Since the Android TV launcher only displays apps downloaded from the Play store, you can only access sideloaded apps through your settings. That's garbage. Fear not, Sideload Launcher takes care of that problem by replacing the stock launcher so you can see all of your apps.

[Root] TV Boot
I don't know why Android TV does not have a restart option. I always find myself in a situation where I need to restart my nexus player, so I have to get up and travel across my seemingly endless living room to unplug it. I had both my legs replaced with some really flimsy hollow plastic ones that collapse under my own weight whenever I try to use them. I should stop volunteering for those medical trials. Anyways the point is that the TV Boot app will let you restart or shutdown Android TV from your phone. That's really all there is to it. This will work on rooted devices only.
Download
Mirror Beta
Ever head of ClockworkMod? Of course you have. You've probably used their custom recovery at some point while modifying your phone. You've probably never heard of their Mirror app. This app lets you cast your Android screen to Fire TV, Chromecast or Apple TV. It also works as a screen recorder which comes in handy. It's one of the best apps for screen casting, especially if you have to use both an Apple TV and A Chromecast regularly.
Download
Notifications for Android TV
Notifications on your Android TV is a great way to broadcast to a room full of people that you're fighting with your girlfriend. This app will let you push any notifications that you'd receive on your phone right to your TV. You can scroll through every notified message on the Android TV in fullscreen mode. You can even change the settings individually for each application.

I think what you'll need for that is an app that streams live TV. These apps do exists but they'll only work through your TV provider. So if I have Comcast TV, I can download the Comcast app and get live TV that I can stream to my Nexus player. Check to see if your TV provider has an Android compatible app that lets you live stream TV.

Steam Link (New Android TV App)
I have a great experience to use Android TV with YouTube. I would like to share another new Android TV app here:
Steam Link:
It is one of the top additions at Google Play Store in May 2018, through which user can stream from the Desktop or PC to Android device. It means, users can stream games directly from TV up to 4K Resolutions at 60 fps.
Tnx for the info
