My Desktop PC has a TV car in it and I record and watch shows through it, at the moment I can stream the recorded TV shows and other videos to my Nexus 10 using ES File Explorer.
However I am curious to find out if there is a way of streaming the live TV as it plays on my Desktop PC, over the wi-fi to my Nexus 10?
I know VLC player has some streaming capabilities with TV cards.. don't know how effective this will be?
Is their an easier way, other programs designed for this?
I do use TV Catchup app on my tablet to watch live TV sometimes but I would like a solution that is just utilizing the wi-fi and not the internet connection!
Cheers.

I would think a media extender app would be more useful. Like the how the xbox 360 app works. That would take care of the storage issue and the copy protection. Anyone know of one or a reason that wouldn't work?
1. Remote Media Center App + Remote Potato: Have not tried it and it may not be compatible with jellybean 4.2 according to the reviews.

2. XBMC will connect to hdhomerun tuners but you will need to provide a file with a list of channels for your particular cable provider.

Xbmc can connect to various backend tv servers (android app are still beta), like mediaportal tv server, and you don't need any additional files provided that you setup tv server right. Other option are using mediaportal and ampdroid app, but you have to setup mediaextender program in addition, on pc.

Try out "Splashtop 2 - Remote Desktop"

Just wondering if there is anything similar to AirVideo for iOS. For those of you that are unfamiliar, it streams/converts video from your PC to your phone.
Yes please, Ive tried using other alternatives but they simply dont work as well.
Well the included Allshare DLNA application will stream compatible video from a DLNA compliant server over wifi (XBMC, Xbox360, PS3, MediaCenter)....
I use XBMC on my home media server, and it streams fine to the phone. Not familiar with AirVideo, so I cannot compare how "functional" it is relative to what's built in to our phones.
there is some free ubuntu software that works with this too. VLC I think and Tomb media player is what I am using at home. You can stream videos to Tomb and and connect to tomb over the phone through allshare.
I would like to share video from my computer / sgs2 on the tab. I cannot find a way to launch allshare although the internet suggests this should be possible. Sending files via Bluetooth doesn't seem to work, either and the 2 devices have a lot of problems finding each other. What is the best way to play video stored on my phone wirelessly on the tab?

I'm using a TVersity Media Server on my desktop and Skifta on my tablet to stream music and video (using Dice Player). Works very well, at least for my 720p tv series.
I use TVersity straight to my tab's browser.
+1 for Tversity, and i use UpnPlay for the viwer
since plex is not working anymore i now use emit.... works great for me
i want to test this option also in the future:
Code:

i also tried to connect via a file explorer, but could not setup a connection because i dont have/want a password on my windows 7 account(s)

Hi, was wondering if its possible to stream what appears on the device's screen to a tv through wifi. I mean the same way you can use a MHL video cable. I got a dlna tv and I can stream video and music, but I would like to stream what appears on the screen cause I would like to use my workout app through tv's screen instead of sgs2's screen.

I think there is a Samsung app for some Samsung TVs.
Unfortunately, I do not know a dlna streaming app which will connect the SGS2 to any dnla tv via wifi.
If you find a solution, let me know (via PM).
You should have a pre-installed app called AllShare on your phone that lets you stream to any compatable device from your phone using wifi.But must be compatable obviously.

Twonky, Skifta...
use allshare or other application from market
So you have taken some pictures and a movie on your new PRIME and you want to stream the slide show or show the movie via your HTPC (of course connected to your TV). You don't want to connect your PRIME to the TV via an HDMI cable. You don't want to physically upload the multi-media to your HTPC, just stream it.
So what app are you using on the PRIME?
What software are you using on your HTPC?
Is the connection WiFi or Bluetooth?
So who has done this and what is your solution?
I am ONLY looking for working solutions that you have had success with.
Me too! I want something like the splashtop app but reversed.

Thanks everyone for your input.
The MirrorOp product line (software & hardware) from AWINDINC looks exactly what I want for WiFi projection from my PRIME to a HTPC. They support MAC's and PC's with their software.
Basically you need their sender software on your PRIME tablet and their receiver software on your PC. The MirrorOP Photo Sender is FREE and does not require ROOT. The MirrorOP Sender software cost $10, requires ROOT, can project video but NO audio. Also your PC must have WiFi or be on lan network that has Wifi. You also need to visit their website to get your PC or MAC software to be able to receive your video.
BubbleUPnP is going to take a little time to play with to see if it will work.
I am going to try the MirrorOP software this evening and report back tomorrow.

The MirrorOP Sender works GREAT. You get about 5 minutes FREE usage. If you want more then you must pay $10. NO AUDIO and about 20 FPS according to their test program.
The MirrorOP Photo Sender works and is FREE but there is a problem with colors so not recommended with the current release.
Both of these apps were tested from my ROOTED PRIME.
The PC Receiver program is FREE and works with both apps.
My quest was to find an app for the PRIME and software for my HTPC to stream video or pictures FROM the PRIME to the HTPC via WiFi. With your help I have found the software to do that job.
Now I am looking to add AUDIO to the upload from the PRIME to my HTPC for the perfect combination!
Any suggestions for that perfect combination would be appreciated.

Since you mention an HTPC as a client why not use DLNA/UPnP? Most pads have a DLNA server, ASUS adds for free MyNet, use that to share your media files with your HTPC client.
Just launch the media player on your HTPC (for sure it will support DLNA/UPnP) search for a server (the MyNet on your TP), browse for your media and .... play.
You might want to enable Digital Media Server under the settings of MyNet. I believe it's on by default, I have it always off.
The MirrorOP someone suggested you is basically a remote desktop server (needing a proprietary client) which replicates your local TP screen to your client. There are very few remote desktop solutions that support sound as well.
Use Skifta (free on android market).
It's an DLNA enabled player that let's you pick your DLNA source and render target.
Using the TF201 as the source and my HTPC (XBMC Eden Beta 3 / Win 7.. be sure to enable "Allow control of XBMC via UPNP" in Network Settings) as the target, I was able to stream over wifi.
Short movie clip I made from TF201's camera worked with both video and audio. I also was able to stream RIO.mkv from TF201 which surprised me. It's 1080p h.264 (encoded full profile at CQ19) mkv with 5.1 sound. I only watched about 4 minutes though.
I tried to bypass the HTPC and use my TV (Ethernet DLNA enabled Samsung LN46C750) as the DLNA target but playback wasn't smooth. It would play for 3-4 seconds, buffer, resume playing, buffer again, etc.,.. Going through HTPC worked much better.
Thanks for the post, as I had not thought to test Skifta this way. Normally, I just use it pick music on my NAS (10TB Synology 411J) for playback on the HTPC.
I think 2player and bubbleupnp(not free) should also work like skifta.. but I haven't tested them..

Thanks for your input. I want to play music and video from the PRIME to my HTPC.
I am aware of several apps for my PRIME for DLNA server functions:
Skifta
UPnPlay which requires a 3rd party player for video.
BubbleUPnP
The questions is what is the best software for my Windows 7 PC to be a DLNA CLIENT?
I am not using XBMC but MediaPortal for my HTPC functions.
There is an XDA forum for BubbleUPnP - UPnP/DLNA Control Point and Renderer.
The BubbleUPnP Server site. BUBBLEUPNP SERVER IS NOT AN UPNP AV MEDIA SERVER. It requires at least one working UPnP AV Media Server (Windows Media Player, Twonky, Asset UPnP, ...) to do something useful.
I will try BubbleUPnP tonight.
Awwww man, i thought this thread was going to lean towards mirroring.

Hi guys,
Previously I'd all my videos on my Macbook and I was using Videostream to cast everything to my Chromecast (with the Videostream app on my Android phone as remote), that was working fine but didn't work with DVD files and my Macbook had to be on when I'd like to watch something.
Yesterday I came across a old 400GB SATA harddisk of mine so I thought: what if I connect that drive to my TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND router which does have a USB port and build-in network share and dnla/upnp support. So I've connected everything with a cheap sata/usb adapter from Ebay, connected the network share to my Macbook and PC and copied some videos to it.
I can't run any applications on my router like Videostream or Plex so I need a app on my Android phone which can stream from my network share to my Chromecast. I've searched around and tried Allcast and Localcast:
- Allcast, I can't find a way to access the network share.
- Localcast, works great through samba and dnla/upnp! But... I can't get subtitles working which are builtin my mkv video files. I didn't try dvd files yet.
Also I'm looking for a functionality which can keep track on what movies I've watched.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
try airflow app
Airflow is only for music...
Don't tested with Chromecast, but Bubbleupnp is a nice streaming app. Give it a try.
