Hi All,
I searched the net but couldn't really find much on this. Is there a way to do screen mirrioring to a pc over wifi? I have my pc connected to the big screen tv and it would be awesome to share my evo3d's screen on the tv.
Cheers

Go through all these steps, connect your PC and EVO 3D to the same network.

dnla doesnt do screen mirroring on the 3d does it? ive only been able share media like a server.
Hey bud,
Thanks for ur reply, dlna is an option and would work well for sharing media files. But from wat i understand it will not support screen mirroring so far the only way to mirror the evo3d on big screen that i've found is a device by xbounds but i dont really wana spend $139 just to be able to do this. There has to be another way or server/client app to mirror the screen on pc.
I've recently seen the light and made the switch to android from iphone ios actually does screen mirrioring with apple tv very well so i am sure android should be able to do this as well (and better)
Anyone?
Cheers
So i interested myself for one htc media link HD and ordered it for an total of €73,50 incl. package sent
Because of the different models im talking about de dg-h200 from htc. Yesterday order came in and i thought piece of cake plug and play. Well it isn't plug and play and for every other person outside xda it would be an hell to get it working. I won't give up easily but i almost was going too!
Turns out the device delivered has a firmware 1.5...something and when you connect it it all goes well till you have too swipe over you screen to sent it out to the television. Then he want to connect and somewere about 70 % of the setup he quits and says there is an additional firmware upgrade. Would you like to install this? Well hell yeah i will. So pushing the yes button will bring you to another message that says "there is no newer software , this is the latest !
Somewere else on the forum here a guy did get it working without an upgrade of the firmware! But after reading true the manual i found out it had to do with ip multicast. Simply said if your router only providing unicast signal an setup like my phone and the htc media link hd connected to the internet and connected to each other not going to work.
So here is what i did
* I disconnected my phone and router (By disconnecting i mean my phone doesn't know the router anymore)
* Made an whole new setup for the htc media link hd by pushing the button on the front for ten seconds
* setup my phone for an wifi hotspot and then swyped three fingers over the screen so that the phone will connect with the media link
* Offcourse it will prompt you with an update of firmware but now it will update because of the hotspot setup.
* Thought i was done setting up the hardware with this upgrade and made my phone connect with my router acces point again.
* The problem still occured as i was almost done with this media link and willing to send it back.
* But me never willing to give up give it another shot and set up my phone again as an wifi hotspot and swyped my display to connect again with
the media link.
* Again it prompted me with an firmware update as i thought whats going on i all ready did so. I thought what the heck lets update it again.
* When it was done i got amazed from the fact it does updated the media link device again to 2.99...something firmware version
* So i decided to hold the button for an reset for ten seconds again so it was ready for an new configuration.
* Also made my phone know my router acces point again and swyped over the screen again to setup again.
* And there you have it working not asking for an update and doing what he needs to do. ... ! Or not ?
Tested it with all sorts of media,
* games not going to work as wireless give the game an lag time for instance with pinball you push to make the flipper shoot the ball. and done with the media link setup you mis because of the lag time!
Pushed an movie from my synology nas server to my tv ( Not needed in this setup because i can play them well true my wdtvlive hub ) but for testing. It play well but yep there you have your lag again from the audio
* Internet works and browsing true the phone checking photo's works
* Youtube on the phone works without lag time in 1080p
* Did not had any movie on my phone to play so coudn't test that but i recon i will play okay
But all together it is fun to have for 10 minutes and i going to sell mine because of the total not use of it i know will happen!
But the least i coud do is write an review over this htc media link hd for you all ! Excuse me for my english as it is not my native language to speak/write

The mhl adapter I have is an off brand from Amazon. Cost 3 dollars. It doesn't work with the specified app on the phone but as soon as I plug it in and set my tv it's all right there. Is there advantages to the HTC branded one?

I have noticed with Netflix and other online videos it doesn't look very HD. Videos I recorded with my phone and watch are great but I guess streaming ones look like crap. Mine is not the wireless version by the way
Never Die!
I got mine last week and all I had to do is:
- plug in power and HDMI cable
-promt me for updating the firmware twice and it all went through
- swipe three fingers and the whatever on my HOX+ its on the tv
Youtube, Netflix all playing perfectly fine and I would say HD quality. phone have to be on wifi to be able to connect to the media link. and my home wifie DL 20MB/s
so far so good :good:

Youtube video high quality, but i bought it to easy show fotos/videos to friends and familys > Working great
Im very happy with the device, and sure ill have a lot of fun.
Sometimes i just lay on the couch and reading forums/storys on my plasma trough this HD link
Help
Can you tell me how to make Htc Media Link HD working without firmware upgrade?
Sorry for my bad English.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I don't need help any more. My device worked
Hi all,
Sorry if I missed it in the replies, but which item is it that seems to work well with the HTC One X+? Can I get a link to it? Also, will it work with apps too or just photos and movies?
Thanks!
The wireless link should not use multicast traffic... I can't think of any home routers that would support that. Why, if your phone is only sending to the media link, would it even need to use a multicast destination... if it did, every device in your broadcast domain (i.e. your home) would receive the HD content. not particularly good.
I suppose, if HTC wanted it to work without any kind of discovery process then multicast would work.. but this, and the price of the unit has deterred me. Especially since you can get a $4 cable of ebay which does the same thing, just using a wire.
With regards to my specific question, should anyone else need help, I bought one of these for my HTC One X+ and it simply duplicates whatever is on the screen onto my TV via HDMI. Works great!

My media link worked great as well. Did an update once I can remember. During this time I was using an old HTC One sv to cast Netflix mainly. Since upgrading to an m7, my girl has an m8, everything still works fine, except Netflix! It works all the way up to choosing what to watch. As soon as the video starts to play, screen goes black, just audio, you can still see the play button, the timeline and other options to top right in the Netflix app but video is black until you stop playing. I have posted in a few other places (not XDA), have read couple more of the same problems with no one answering those posts either. Does anyone have A-N-Y idea why the video goes black when it starts to play in Netflix only?
Really about to give up, O-N-L-Y reason I purchased the HTC Media Link was for the purpose of watching Netflix on the flatscreen.................. sigh.

I had my HTC Media Link quit working completely on video feed (not audio) with Netflix. Upgrading my HTC One sv to a Sprint HTC One m7. My girls Verizon HTC One m8 had the same results, mirrored our screens perfectly, played any video along with audio whether it was an email video attachment (asks if want to watch using media link upon opening video), or YouTube, etc.... Found other posts online with others having the same problem. I just happened across a forum posting (like 3 pages) from a Mr. Satan who was fedup with a scene in a favorite movie of his lagging in Netflix. He changed the bitrates (app version 2.4.1), made 3 different .apk's with three different frame rate settings. I tried the 3,850kps or what ever it is and it would load up on phone, let me choose video but the circle kept spinning a bit too long for me. Loaded the 3,000kbps .apk and it loaded up, played well. Went and linked my Sprint HTC One m7 to the HTC Media Link, everything came up in Netflix like before, but lo & behold, when video starts, it shows............ finally!!!!!!!
Only reason purchased this media link, not only because of the niftiness using phone on flat screen but for watching streaming account with Netflix on it!!!!! I am going to go post in a few places where people posted problems. You will not have lag anymore!!!!

You can now mirror your screen when using a Chromecast with the Note 3 running 4.4.2. Go into Settings >More Settings >Screen Mirroring to enable screen casting through your Chromecast. You can also cast directly from the Chromecast app if screen mirroring doesn't work.

I must be doing something wrong because I can't get it to cast...

Figured it out. Even though the app said it was updated today it was not the latest version. I side loaded the latest version and it works. It is too choppy though.

It's working fine through the Chomecast app for me. I haven't tried any games but everything else is smooth including 1080p videos that were recorded on my phone.
I can get it to mirror my screen through the Chromecast (not through settings) but I get no sound. How do I get sound.
Note: My chromecast is plugged into my Onkyo receiver, does that make a difference?

Probably so. I have screen mirroring working thru the Chromecast app as well and it does audio just fine. Might be something going on with that receiver. Can you remove it and try just a direct connect to the Chromecast on the TV? Haven't tried thru the Settings way.

Turns out that power cycling the Chromecast solved the problem. I now get sound.
Reboot of Chomecast worked for me to get sound working. Also games look great!
I see no option to Mirror in the Chromecast app. It says I have the latest version.

Be cautious with games. My phone shut down several services and a warning screen appeared stating my phone was too hot.
Does that mirroring work directly from chromecast to phone or do you still need a wifi network to connect them both to?

I'm on Android 4.3, Beanstown build 6, so I can't screen cast Is there an update path I can take (possibly new ROM) that will get me 4.4 and the ability to use this new feature? (I have Chromecast app ver 1.7.4)
Could people who have it working SMOOTHLY (to me not smoothly = not working) at 1080p please post the wifi setup they are using? (Router/AP model and 2.4 or 5ghz, is it in the same room, other devices connected, port forwarding or QoS or other router config, or anything else noteworthy)
I haven't touched my chromecast in 3 months because it basically didn't work for anything I wanted to do (main thing is playing photos/videos shot with camera on a bigger screen). Back then I was using a wired router and a Asus EAN66 as wifi AP (box-claim speed of 450 mbps) sitting within 10 feet of both phone and TV/Chromecast in the same room but it was horrible - I was lucky to get maybe 20 seconds of smooth video max. Then it would crash. Much faster to transfer files to computer via usb3 or sdcard then play on TV. Similar story on a Linksys E1000 but I forget which was worse.
True smooth 1080p screen mirroring... that would be nice. Truly something that would wow people. I now have Netgear R7000 (model name "Overkill") and it's 5 feet from the TV so it really better work now! I'll report tomorrow when I can mess with it.
I had it working smoothly. First I had to update to most recent chromecast app from google play in US, then once I tried screen mirroring option in the app, it would connect to my chromecast but show nothing. After doing this the chromecast then wanted to reboot and update itself to a later software build. While it rebooted rebooted note 3 and laoded up the chromecast app, option was there to mirror to tv so I chose it and it worked flawlessly and smooth even playing games. I was using stock android TW 4.4.2 and played trials frontier. I have a netgear WNDR 3700 V1 router using 54g (2.4) to connect phone and chromecast to. The tv was like 1ms behind what was displayed on phone but still worked flawlessly. I had my phone power saving mode on and cpu power saving checked. Even with this power saving it worked great for web browsing, videos, and games. Phone did get hot and battery drained quickly! I also use WPA 2 encryption and security!

Hello xda. I was trying to set up a wireless dlna connection at home with my one m9. I can play youtube on my auqous lc- 60c745o0 and vizio e-470i-a0 but I cant stream from other players- I tried to use htc connect but the vizio doesn't show up and the auquos wont connect. I used this on a roku tv and it worked great. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Has anyone tried casting to a Roku tv or screen share to one? Just found out the p6 wont do it and I can't seem to find an app to do it.
Pixel doesn't support miracast for screen mirroring. You can cast from inside some individual apps (I think youtube, netflix,) and the Roku app will allow you to cast photos and music from inside the app.

Which video caster. I just installed a dozen or so of them and it will hit all my google devices but not the roku.
I used to use All Cast to mirror to Roku - there's a Roku app you install and send it using the all cast app. Originally made by Koush, the legend! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast I haven't used it in a while.

What are you attempting to cast?
I know for something like Plex, you have to have the Plex app installed on the TV and then your phone acts as the "remote" controlling it.
On my 3 blue line. I don't know how but on Android 12 pixel dust I was able to screen mirror to me Roku ultra. Now I'm on pixel dust 13 and nothing but a bootloop when I try. I wish I could figure out what made it work
You can cast from inside some individual apps (I think Speed Test youtube, netflix,) and the Roku app will allow you to cast photos and music from inside the app.
I've been using AllCast for a fair while, and it seems to stream to anything I come across.
Might work for you!

I don't know for sure but I wouldn't think so.
Castify. Or if you have a Roku Ultra. Or any I assume that you can insert a Flash drive - USB drive into. Create a text file. Get the link to the video. Not the webpage so a .m3u8 .ts type link like
https://server15.pelispluscdn.info/newhls/da2d03aaa61c8a07197a4edda0b89733/EP.6.0.v0.1679315043.m3u8
You can just type the link and save it as any name .m3u such as TV.m3u. If you want to add multiple you can at least on mine. Or make it
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF-
https://server15.pelispluscdn.info/newhls/da2d03aaa61c8a07197a4edda0b89733/EP.6.0.v0.1679315043.m3u8
#EXTINF-
https://server15.pelispluscdn.info/newhls/da2d03aaa61c8a07197a4edda0b89733/EP.6.0.v0.1679315043.m3u8
either way works on mine as long as the USB drive is fast enough.
If course If you post a link to a website it's not going to work. The same link it sends with castify is the link you need.
You may need to insert the drive a couple times just hit the * button while at the screen that shows the drive and any DNA servers not the files inside. Turn on Search internet for thumbnails and request file type on start. Then select the USB drive and hit stay again. Make sure you search all media type and playlist mode is on. The m3u will show up as an audio playlist and you can select the link to play a stream.
I attached the same file I clicked on in the video I am attaching. Change the file extension to .m3u and give it a try. If your don't have USB support. Then I don't know how else besides Castify or Rcast. I am curious to know if this works for you tho. It loads slowly but this method will read a m3u playlist for tv as long as it's not a playlist that includes VOD and way to many channels. I took my playlist and edited out all the links for the TV streams and made each channel its own file so it loads the list quickly.
