[Q] Broadcasting audio over LAN to multiple smartphones with NO LAG - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a solution to stream audio to multiple smart-phones without lag.
Can this be done?
Using a laptop (win/mac) as a broadcasting station with WiFi connected.
Is there a limit to the connected clients in a Wifi Router?
Can LAG be minimised?
FM transmission is not a direct option, because it's illegal to do. Although most smart-phones have a FM radio and this option produces no LAG.
This is a project to supply listeners to a small open air concert with the direct audio feed, without the use of central amplifiers.

So what can I do with WiFi Direct?

Ok, so now that I have WiFi direct on my Tab, what can I actually do with it?
Can I connect to my Laptop and browse files
I have enabled it on the Prime, but I don't know what to do next?
Cheers

" According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, Wi-Fi Direct "is a certification mark for devices supporting a game-changing new technology enabling Wi-Fi devices to connect directly, making it simple and convenient to do things like print, share, synch and display. Products bearing the Wi-Fi Direct certification mark can connect to one another without joining a traditional home, office or hotspot network."
Essentially, WiFi Direct adds a virtual access point to a device bearing that certification, complete with a version of Wi-Fi Protected Setup for easy connections. When a WiFi enabled device comes under the umbrella of a WiFi Direct "host" the "client" can connect to the "host" through the existing ad-hoc protocol, gather setup information using a Protected Setup-style transfer, then allow the two devices to connect. So easy is the WiFi direct setup, some have suggested it could replace Bluetooth in some situations"
" What can a WiFi Direct "host" do?
A digital picture frame could allow digital cameras to connect and upload images.
A camera or smartphone could wirelessly connect to a photo kiosk to print high-quality analog prints of your digital pictures, without using an sdcard or cable.
A smartphone with data tethering could function more as a bridge or router (with more complex functions than simple tethering).
Smartphones and tablets could transfer files to one another (even large ones) quicker than over Bluetooth.
WiFi Direct devices can even connect one-to-one or one-to-many, and only one of those devices needs to be enabled for WiFi Direct -- all the others just need basic WiFi capabilities.
Combine all that with DNLA (and no longer needing a router for DNLA streaming) and you can see how convenient and downright cool streaming a HD video directly from your smartphone to a DLNA-enabled TV could be -- all without wires"

I really hope this does be enabled. A game changer for sure!
Cheers demandarin!
I am guessing that there is a youtube video on the post too (blocked on work connection)?
So is there nothing I can really do at the moment? I turn it on, but it doesn't broadcast a Wireless network or anything?

[Q] Buffering With Wifi Hotspot.....?

Is there any way that we can buffer audio from an android phone's wifi hotspot to other one-two android phone which is connected to it....
Simplyfied Point-
1). A Android Phone's Hotspot Is On.
2). One or Two Phones Are Connected.
3). The Phones Connected Can Buffer Audio From Hotspot Phone.
It should be act like a radio eg. the connected phone open a specific address in browser and buffer live audio by hotspot phone.
Please help me

Buffer?
Im quite confused. Do you already have an audio link but it stutters?
If not, then I think you mean you want to send audio from one device to another on the browser.
I'm not sure how you would go about opening ports to the locally hosted hotspot network(probably with ifconfig)
Then you would need a local binary that gathers the audio and makes it available as a local port on that device(etho wlan0 etc) with some sort of streaming protocol.
Then you need to connect to the stream with ipaddressort from your other device. Given that the other device's browser supports the protocol.

Chromecast disconnecting bluetooth audio

I have started having this issue where, when Bluetooth headphones are connected for call and media audio, and my device interacts in some way with the Chromecast integration, the media connection disconnects, and any currently playing media audio starts blaring from the speakers. I'm a heavy bluetooth user, so this is a huge annoyance and occasionally embarrassing.
Two situations where this consistently happens:
- I connect to my home wifi network when the TV connected to the Chromecast is on.
- I play a YouTube video in the browser (which has poor Chromecast integration as is).
I've noticed other scattered posts talking about Bluetooth switching off or switching profiles due to Chromecast. Anyone else having Bluetooth issues due to having a Chromecast?
My device: Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3, stock, rooted with Xposed.

Video streaming over tethered connection

Hi, I hope this is the right place for this question.
I'm looking for a video streaming app that will work over a tethered connection i.e. one phone tethered to the other, without a separate wifi network or internet connection. The two phones will be the only devices available. One phone will act as the video camera outside in the cold, the other will be for monitoring the video inside in the warm.
I've found that most wifi-enabled apps of any sort won't work in this scenario.

Roku Wi-Fi Interference

Just a heads up if this hasn't already been posted here is that if you have a Roku TV, Roku TV Box or Roku Stick it can emit strong WiFi signals that can interfere with your Android media player box. I seen that it can emmit at least a strong -38dB signal that can interfere with your Android box if is located near and around your Roku TV.
"Roku WiFi-Direct operates on the same frequency as USD's Wi-Fi. Roku uses WiFi-Direct to connect some remotes, which utilize and broadcast on the same channel that it receives internet from. The result is that there will be interference, even on 5 GHz, causing other devices to either drop the signal intermittently or fail to connect, or lower bandwidth. Additionally, some Roku models have a feature called interference mitigation enabled by default. This technology disrupts traffic to nearby Wi-Fi access points to attempt to improve local signal. These features can affect performance of USD's wireless network for everyone."
