[Q] Streaming Google Play Cloud Music to a DLNA Device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an HTC One running Android 4.1.2 and I want to listen to Google Play over my Yamaha DLNA receiver.
I've already tried some apps, and BubbleUPnP promises to have this feature, but it just won't play songs from the cloud.
Is there any chance to install a system-wide service that routes all the sounds of the device to the DLNA receiver? On an iPhone that works via AirPlay, there must be something like that for Android too, right?
Thanks for any help,
Kalle

in BubbleUPNP, did you try playing a track to your Yamaha receiver after enabling Settings > Local Media Server > Use proxy ?

Yes I tried that, but it did not help.
I really don't want to be cocky, but I thought the advantage of Android was its openness, and that you could tinker with anything. And now it's not possible to stream audio to a DNLA receiver?

It is possible to stream audio but it is not possible to *capture* audio from other apps. Not unless you hack the kernel and audio drivers. Good luck with that.

Btw it would be interesting if you provided me a log file streaming Google Music to your Yamaha receiver (with proxy enabled) so I can see why it fails (see first post of this topic for instructions for logging)

Mmh, that is odd. That feature works with bluetooth, why can't it work with WLAN and DLNA? Apple has been doing this for 8 years now (AirPlay)...

[Q] Samsung Allshare (Or alternatives) on NookColor?

My primary phone is a Galaxy S and I'm in love with the Allshare app and haven't been able to find any comparable apps in the market.
I've (unsuccessfully) tried to install Allshare on the NC, so that's not an option as far as I know.
I'd likely something a bit like VLC Stream and Convert but for DLNA or UPnP.
Can u tell us what it does?
Nook Color via Xda App

It's an app similar to Apple's Airplay which lets you stream videos/music/pictures from your PC to your Android device.
The new gmote is awesome for that. I've being using it for the past couple of days. And the setup is simple
Nook Color via Xda App
subsonic does similar; it's supposed to also stream video but I had problems with the resulting flash. Audio is fine.
Allshare is a DLNA client and I think also a DLNA server. I haven't been able to find a good solution to replace this on my Nook Color. It works great on my Samsung Epic 4g streaming video.

These all do what you want...
Gmote only works over wifi.

This is a remote desktop app but supposedly is high enough bitrate to stream video.

This is another DLNA server but it's audio only

Thanks, I appreciate the recommendations
DLNA
I have been using 2Player on my Nook Color. It is in the Market. "Karmaware" so you pay the developer for a key if you like the software and want to send something their way. No nags. No ads.
yeah i love allshare on my galaxy, nothing ive found is quite as good, i personally use it as a server, it throws my pictures, music, movies to my samsung blu ray player on the fly, it also works on samsung wifi tv's (as well as sony tv's) (ive been playing at my second job @ best buy)
funny thing: samsung tv's ask if you want to display the content, and sony's dont, security issue imo for people who have open networks as i can throw anything up on your tv that i want
Twonky Mobile is a DLNA streaming app for android. You can use it as a source or a client.
Twonky Server would also work if you only want to host content on the nook.

This is exactly what I wanted, thank you. How is this app not more popular? It's amazing!

And it's free, awesome.
I use Twonky all the time for sharing stuff to my PS3. Didn't realize it could act as a client as well. I'll have to try that out. Thanks!

Yea, I have no idea. Only dug it up by accident going to Twonky's site trying to stream stuff from my mac to PS3.
I haven't tried it on a nook but AndroMote works great to push the content from a server (twonky) to a DLNA device. It's a lot like AllShare just doesn't serve up it's own content.
Check out iMediaShare, too.

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:

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 all AUX-output to my PC

Hello out there,
short an simple question: Can i stream my whole audio-output from my android device via a random protocol to my PC? I can only find one thread and there is no really solution Hope someone can help me
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"
Sent from my GT-I9100
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 *_*

Airplay on android

Hey,
I really thought that Android already had a feature or app which can do Spotify streaming easily. I am really amazed that there is only one decent app (AirAudio) for Android supporting Airplay devices. AND the app needs a rooted device!
I am just simply looking a solution where I can stream wirelessly Spotify audio from my Android device to my Pioneer VSX-922 amplifier.

i would try doubleTwist Player

[Q] 4.2.2 Audio-Streaming Options (Miracast/DLNA/Airplay)

Hi all,
Currently i am wondering what options i have to stream audio from my android phone to my PC?
being a previous iPhone-owner, i just got my HTC One mini (4.2.2).
I have a Airplay-Reciever-Software installed on my PC, so i was able to stream any audio from my iPhone to my PC - native.
Actually, i dont want to install any app on my phone, as i dont want to be limited to a specific app for my music or video.
Native steaming seems to be possible with MIracast and DLNA....
I was reading through many articles about DLNA and Miracast - none being really helpfull. I couldnt find any PC-Reciever-Software for Miracast, and DLNA seems to work entirely different.
Also, making my android stream to Airplay doesnt seem to work without root AND a specific app - not really an option either.
You guys have any idea?
Thanks
Lennart
for anyone with the same issue:
DLNA can work this way: Streaming audio from my phone to a DLNA player (WMP on win7).
Also, chromecast can be an option (for google-apps).
Cheers!
