ErrorKid

when you connect your android phone to your pc via bluetooth you've an option that all what you play on your phone you'll hear it on your pc.

Thx, but is there a possibility to avoid bluetooth? I know i write any protocol - sry for that.

WiDi maybe could be an idea...
Actually I'll glad to know that too.

WiDi? It's the thing from Intel, right? What it is able to do? Is there no possibility to do it onyl with software? I'm a poor student with no money

DLNA..if your phone supports it. You can play your music,movies and share pp ictures with your pc or even smart tv, xbox or ps3.

Only works with media files, doesn't work with streaming media. So DLNA is already old and "useless"

Yeah thats the first thing i found in the internet, but there is a little big problem ^^ The only way i found to stream my musik from the SGSII/Flyer to my pc is over the stock musik player and i hate (no i really hate) the stock player >.<
The next stupid thing is that the only way i found to receive music on my pc is over Windows Media Player - yes you see, another stock player that i also hate
Is there no other Way? My dream solution is over "Player Pro" to "Winamp" or "VLC". Sry for the crazy claims

Thats also a point. Listening to Grooveshark or Youtube over my PC would be awsome *_*

[Q] Streaming from pc

hey i have a query
I have a router soley for media streaming as such i have to assign static ips to every pc in the house connected to it
so far i have a ps3 4 laptops and 2 pc connected via wifi and i have one pc by ethernet. not including the server
the server isnt a specially made server its a dell precision 650 with 7 hdds in it and ive basically shared the root of the drives so the pc can share
is there a way to stream to my x10i?
i know theres an option for static ips so thats not an issue but bassically what i want is to be able to browse the pcs sharted drives from with in the phone and perhaps watch a movie ortv show like this
Set up a net server or ftp, probably better on ftp. Then when you've done that on the host and, if it is 192.168.1.101 then go to "ftp://192.168.1.101" then you'll get access to the root of each drive if it's set up right.
That's what I do

well i found an app called estrongs file explorer that lets me view stuff on my all im wanting now is the option to view avi files through it
Same here.
I have a MS MediaCenter running at home.
It also have an build in MediaServer. Im able to watch Movies or listen to Music with other streaming clients........
So finaly i want to stream the movies on my X10. But it looks like that there is no app for this. Dunno which one is able to get streams from a MediaServer.
Wasnt it DLNA which was improved / implented with the 2.1 Update?
Great shame that there is no way. Isnt it Arcos who already build an Android Media Player?
So if anyone knows a solution pls post it! Im realy waiting for it.

Is it possible to stream audio from phone to network?

Hi!
As the title says, i wondered if Android allows you to stream audio from the device to the network? Specifically for Airfoil, is it possible to play music from spotify (etc.) from the phone, on my other airfoil units?
I contacted the developer, and he was unsure wether this was possible with the current APIs or not, i would sure be willing to pay for such a program at least
Such a program exist for iOS already: http://itunes.apple.com/app/reemote-for-airfoil/id396381723?mt=8
Thanks!
Will this thread be of any help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104692
That seems to be the opposite way of what i am interested in. Have found that my DoubleTwist media player supports streaming to my Mac Mini running XBMC, so i dont see why this wouldnt work for Spotify/wimp instead.
An app that "hijacks" the audio source, and sends it via WiFi to Airplay/Airfoil/DLNA supported devices would be what i am looking for i guess.

This is something i really want too, what Apple has done with their Airplay is something that would be awesome to have in our Android devices.
agreed, need to audio-hijack all system sound to send to airplay. want to be able to sent pandora, etc controlled from my phone to an airplay receiver.
There is some development going on towards this. I use Shairport on an old phone to act as an Airport express :
http://code.google.com/p/vavi-apps-shairport/
The Airports keys were 'Cracked ' so there will be something eventually.

I bought winamp for android.
It will be nice if this development can be as you mention.
Hope I dont have to buy doubleTwist since I like Winamp.

Stream movies from Phone to Samsung TV wireless? (How to)

Hi guys, just bought a Samsung smart TV and I wanted to know if and how could I stream movies from my phone to the TV Wireless.
I'm currently running Cm9. If there is an app required can someone upload it please.. thanks

You need all share to stream stuff on your smart tv. I don't know if all share works with CM9 though. All share is included in the stock Rom, so maybe if you ask somebody he/she will extract it for you do you can try it on CM9
it works on stock
Dont know about CM9, but with the stock rom, you just need to make sure your TV and Phone are connected to the same wifi and then you play your file on your phone. A symbol at the top of the stock player shows a 'choose your player' dialogues and then you choose your TV. Its starts playing either instantly or with a prompt on your tv, depending on your tv setup. I have mine set to auto accept. Works with photos and videos. I have tried with 1080p movies and it works without a problem.
Tv is LG LM670T. 3d smart. its gorgeous
I think most recently manufactured tv hs dlna.
Just search your tv model on Internet then you should be able to find out.
If so, then download bubbleupnp app from play store. You can either set up another server on your computer, which I do, using plex server, which you can download for free for your pc. Or you can use your phone as the server as well.
You can control all the streaming from your pc to your tv or phone to tv right from the bubbleupnp app. Very cool. If you install the extra bubbleupnp server on your computer, you can even stream remotely. Very easy to set up and very cool. Real cool.

If I understand well, you have two options: (1) stock Samsung rom and AllShare Cast (it needs Samsung framework, hence CM will not work) or (2) use DLNA (check if your TV supports it, but I guess so) and one of the apps mentioned above (which will also work in CM as it should support DLNA).

DLNA Rubbish?

I had a galaxy s2 and used all share on the phone to remote play video from my PC to my phone. By pressing remote device and browsing my windows media shared videos.
Why on earth does this not work on the s3? It just shows no videos on my pc......
I use my DLNA router enabled every day or so without problem. Browsing NAS shared folder with Solid or ES File explorer and watching movies. Or Dice player directly for example. Must be a config problem.
I use ArkMC (available on the Play Store) to stream stuff from my pc to my I9300. Very straightforward app, no setup whatsoever and works flawlessly for me so far. Give it a go, you might just need to reboot the phone after install tho for the app to actually take in account whatever is available in your WindowsMediaPlayer library & If I recollect correctly, i had to do that before being able to use see my media files through the app. Hope this heleped and if it did please hit the thx button

Hello, I have several questions:
What do you use as a server on your PC?
And how is it going with HiDefinition video, is it plays good?

Hey letrouble, only saw your message today...
Anyways bout your two questions, for this app to work, like said previously you won't need anything setupwise, windows media player is the "server" so you only need to add your files to its library, install the app on your device, reboot it and that's pretty much it...
Concerning your second question, yes, HiDef files run flawlessly with it, on devices that actually support such a definition of course, ie galaxy S3 and many others... tried on my old galaxy tab P1000, they will load but the framerate will not be high enough to take pleasure in watching your content...
Hope that helped & hope all of u guys had a good Xmass and will have an even better NYE
UPnPlay and BubbleUPnP work great

[Q] make my ps3 or tv recognize and play media from my phone over wifi

My PS3 and my smart tv pickup my windows computer over wifi enabling me to show pictures music and videos on it. Im assuming this is a windows feature that allows it to show up like that. Is there any type of app that can fake the tv I to thinking my phone is a wi dows media?
I may be using wrong technology terms here but hope what I am saying makes sense
Hey,
There are many apps for that in Google Play, the technology is called "DLNA", just look for that in Google Play.
I use imediashare for displaying videos and pictures on my Sony TV. But with this app you normally send your media to the TV, and not the other way round.
Just try it!
