Hello!
Is it possible (in any way) to stream desktop PC to android device?
I am talking 1080p with solid movie stream capabilities
I am aware of Splashtop but movies are not playing fluently via my wifi
thank you!
partly solved: could be done via Miracast, if THIS would be possible.

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'd like to use my phone as a source to play streaming videos (SWF container in this instance) onto my DLNA enabled TV. This works fine over HDMI but I don't want the cables dangling all over my house ideally.
Any ideas on how this can be done? I know that it can be done with VLC on a PC which converts a stream into a video file which can be sent over DLNA. Is there something similar for Android?
Hi!
You can do the two ways, "to" and "from" the phone right...
I recommend you first install some good video players (maybe some codec issues i had). I have Vplayer and RockPlayer lite
Then, install iMediaShare, also on android market.
Hope it helps
Great app for the content that they have on there...will be buying the full version.
I want to watch a foreign channel that is in the SWF container though so are there any options for extending that onto my TV in real time?
hi all
I currently have a dvb-s card in my pc for watching satellite tv and would love to stream the tv to my android. found andtv ( which says doesn't support dvbs cards) plus theirs orb but can't get it to find channels on pc. streaming from vlc might work but looking at vlc direct app it doesn't say anything about live tv just audio and video files.
Anything out there that would work that any of you know about?
any help as always is appreciated

Hi,
I have router TP-1042ND with HDD USB connected and running media server... Stock player sees nearby devices TPxxx and plays movies but without subs (they are in correct SRT format and they have the same name as the movie)... Is there anything i can do with it? What other players can plays DLNA movies but with subtitles? I should change something in router (no much options)...?
Thanks!

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.
