Wondering if it's just me who's noticed this. Was annoyed and confused at first, and the quite surprised, not sure if in a good or bad way.
I started playing an tv show episode on my nexus 10 using VLC beta. Bluetooth was enabled and it was synced with my win 7 computer. As it is, when it syncs upto my computer a windows media player pops up and i can play all my music that is stored on the nexus.
But with VLC, video would be playing, but the audio, in sync, would play through the main stereo connected to my computer without having to accept anything or change anything. Was confused as to why there was no sound on the nexu and then muted the video that was playing on the computer to find that there was the bobs burger audio playing in the background. Figure it could be pretty cool in one application or another.
(this is my first ever tablet so forgive me if this is old and boring news )

I have just got a Motorola Milestone 2 and have used MotoCast to transfer my iTunes music over.
That's been no problem, but I listen to a lot of radio plays in mp3 format on my iPad and Mac, as well as my Android phone. If I tell iTunes that the plays are Audiobooks and to remember the position that's no problem, they can pick up where I left off across the iPad and Mac, but I can't seem to do this in Android.
I use Poweramp on Android to listen to the plays and have experimented but can't seem to get it to sync where I last played.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I've searched here and the web.
We have an app called "iSyncr" which can sync iTunes to your Android device. When combined with another app of ours, "Rocket Player", it will sync the listening position of podcasts back and forth from iTunes to Android.
That may not work for your MP3's, but should help with any podcasts.
Cheers!

Just a heads up guys that Plex is in the market place now for download allowing streaming of all your movies, music and pictures from your home PC. Best part is it will convert recordings from Windows Media Centre on the fly, so for me during my train rides home I can now watch TV. Awesome.

Cheers bub, was waiting on this.
Works flawlessly, even better than my iphone version. No skips and stutters (that might have something to do with the Lumia gets WAY better reception that the iphone). I have only one complaint and that is that the audio is very very low. So low in fact its hard to hear with headphones at max volume.
any idea on how to embed subtitles in films?
I've searched the forums here and other sites for my question, but did not find an answer. Here is what I would like to accomplish:
-On my laptop (Win 7), add my Android (Galaxy Nexus 4.0.3) as a playback device. My phone is connected to my bookshelf speaker setup that is in the same room but not near my desk. So when I am playing music on my laptop, let it be Pandora or Google music streams, I would like the sound to be played from the phone that is connected to the speakers.
I have looked at two possible approaches:
1) Remote control the phone and use the Google Music app on the android to play the songs. Essentially control the phone from PC. I did not find a suitable app for that one
2)Use the phone as a playback device on the Win 7.
If anyone here has a different approach advise, feel free to share.
So is there a way to do this?
I guess I did not do a detailed enough search. I found a way to accomplish this.
On the PC side, installed the application called AirFoil.
On Android, installed the app called airbubble.
Stream sound from Airfoil on the PC to Airbubble on Android work just fine (with a slight delay)
The nice thing about AirFoil is that you can choose the source of the sound, let it be the web browser or your media player.
I hope this helps others.

You need root for it to work.
Hey everyone I've jumped over from the iPhone/Apple ecosystem so don't shoot me, but I'm really disappointed with this HTC Media Link HD. I've still got Airplay running side by side and these problems don't exist. I don't mean that to argue about Airplay and whatnot because neither companies are paying me royalties to argue for or against them. I just mention it because I can Airplay stream and mirror without a hitch so I don't want to fend off "your wireless network stinks" responses. I've got an Asus N66 and can sustain mbps back to my NAS/ESXi well beyond what this needs, and I can also stream non-hand braked blu rays without problem. I understand there is differences between streaming and mirroring, but also as I understand this should be a wireless direct connection.
Anyone having these problems:
1. Google Play (perhaps the latest version only) does not look to work with my Media Link. It will play one song and then stop as it tries to load the next song. Manually restarting the next song doesn't resolve I have to close and re-open. Spotify works fine.
2. Any flash I've tried to stream results in audio and video out of sync. I can mirror flash movies across airplay without this issue.
3. Audio cuts in and out in Spotify all the time. I can rarely get 2 songs to play in a row without chop. The cut outs are brief, but still very annoying.
Thanks for any help! Love the phone quite a bit, this is probably my first disappointment.
I have the same problem trying to stream google play music to media link. It only plays one song and it won't play any other songs until I disconnect from media link again - it works fine if its not connected to media link - but with media link only one song?

This issue exists with Google Play Movies as well. I tried contacting support about it a couple months ago with nothing ever coming from it. I was trying to play All Access via Play Music today and ran into the same problem. The songs will not even play when the Media Link HD is connected. I suspect this is some DRM related code put into all the Google media apps. I submitted a support email to Google as will attempt to get as far through to the real tech support people as I can to see if this incompatibility can be resolved. I urge you all to do the same. Stupid DRM...it ruins everything.
It won't play tv.com either, it will play cnn live broadcast, and vevo.
I know this isn't device specific but I can't easily find a good solution through google.
Bit of a background.
I use Media Center for my main TV and movie watching through a media PC and projector.
But for music I use itunes because my car stereo only supports apple stuff (apart from controlling my phone as a generic bluetooth device) so i moved my music to itunes.... Yep still not that happy about that.
So for music sync to my android devices I use isyncr which works well over wifi. Happy with the control it has. But its not good for my video that I watch in Media Center (or effectively media player I believe as they are the same family).
I have tried Media players sync but not overly impressed. It wants to convert all video and I can't seem to find how to stop it reducing the quality so much. I have created autoplaylists for my video which gets the later video files and the later recorded TV. So happy with the autoplaylist I think.......
Is there anything that will sync media playlists well? Even better if its over wifi.
I don't particularly like airsync (doubletwist) as its very limited for video. I paid for it but have barely used it. I can't seem to selectively choose what to sync. And it appears to only see itunes video which I don't use.
Any suggestions???
I hope for the following;
- Sync only the latest video and/or recordings in media center
- Limit the space videos will take up
- Preference over wifi but not essential
Thanks, Peter.
Well I've started using MediaMonkey which does syncing with reasonable autoplaylists, does it wirelessly if the latest beta is down downloaded, and can limit the space the play list takes up... Although to make more advanced play lists requires to purchase the pro version on my pc but I just grinned and bared it. Also ended up changing my music/itunes sync over to it on my tablet. Have left the phone as isyncr because it integrates little better with iTunes.
So overall happy now after a lot of searching. Doubletwist was just too basic for video. And Much better than using media player that's for sure. But it's still not perfect. The play count not working for media center being one area that's not perfect. But that's more media center I think.
plex will do it, but i believe the feature is still in beta and require a plexpass (paid) subscription.
