hope the title can describe what i am trying to figure out....
My current setup is this:
1. My windows machine and mac both have plex installed.
2. I can use my iphone with the plex app to airplay media from my computer straight to my apple tv, i dont need to have anything synced directly to my iphone's internal storage. It just uses the stream from the iPhone and computer
I am getting rid of my iPhone to get an android phone, but i want to keep this capability...
any suggestions?

anything based on ITunes or apple software is a pita to make work on android.
hi, just buy a cheap ipod touch 4g and use that it has the same capabilities and you will then be able to buy a high end android phone without any drawbacks
If you want to stream from android to apple tv there is an app that does so. Check http://9to5mac.com/2011/05/09/android-can-now-airplay-to-ios-devices/ for review.

Hello all,
I've read a number of threads that dance around this topic/question but none that answer it.
Is there an App that will enable an Android smart phone to remotely control/advance a Powerpoint Presentation on an iPad via Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth?
...without jailbreaking the iPad?
FYI: I've come across a thread post offering this solution (enterpriseios website) but don't know if it'll work and would prefer not to try.
"If you jailbreak the device you are trying to control, yes. There is an app in Cydia called Veency that is a VNC server for iOS. You can then use Screen Sharing on the Mac, or one of the many free VNC clients (such as UltraVNC or TightVNC) on a Windows machine to view and control the target iOS device. You can even view/control the iOS device FROM another iOS device with a remote desktop app like Jump."

I know how to control your iPads media with your android device :
Developed by BOJA, iRemote iTunes WMP is an app that allows you to control your iTunes library using an Android smartphone. It works over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and we found it to be the simplest and easiest to set up among the handful of apps available.
To get started, you will need to install the Android app on your phone along with a server app which you have to install on your Windows-based PC. Once the server is running on your computer, open up iRemote on your Android device to get started.
iRemote is a free WiFi and Bluetooth remote for iTunes and Windows Media Player WMP on Windows (XP,Vista,Win7)
Remote control iTunes and WMP on your Windows desktop, laptop, notbok or tablet. Plug in Apple AirPort Express to any speaker in the house and get the ultimate iTunes remote control sound system.
Enjoy the gourgouse [sic] UI and rich feature set of this inovating [sic] remote control. iRemote iTunes and WMP is the only dedicated iTunes and WMP remote control supporting both WiFi and Bluetooth connections.
No user settings required! Simple out of the box support connecting over WiFi and Bluetooth.
We have tested the app on our Samsung Galaxy S II unit and can confirm that it works as advertised. While it does do what it says, it looks spectacularly ugly in the process. I’m not saying this because I’m some sort of UI snob, but I do appreciate a user-interface which, at least, doesn’t make you look away in disgust.
Another issue we had with the app is how much of a dent it makes on the battery. In our limited testing (which didn’t last more than an hour), we found our phone’s battery going down faster than usual. Opening up Settings > About > Battery usage proved our suspicions to be true:
Still, it is certainly worth a try if you’re in the market for a remote app for your iTunes library. We couldn’t find a better alternative, but if you know of one, please let us know! We’d love to cover it!
There are two versions available: the Free one comes with ads, does not allow you to search your library for that one song and it also does not allow users to play a song by browsing artists or albums. The paid version, which costs $3.00, obviously lifts these limitations.
Clarification?
Problem. I don't think this answers my Q.
I'm looking for an APP to remote control "media" on an iPad (iOS) with an Android ...not iTunes media on a windows based PC.

I was wondering if there was an app that connects my iPhone to our Samsung smart tv
That allows me to control and play soundcloud through the tv I've tried to find one that is compatible
But most apps do no include soundcloud in their features

Not too familiar with iPhone, as I haven't owned one since the 3GS, but doesn't apple have that thing called Plex? Or is that only available thru Apple TV? If not, you can always get a Chromecast dongle and use that.

Hi,
The U11 is ok but the battery life is not that great. I'm thinking of repurposing it into a TV launcher. Does anyone know a good app which can replicate android TV box or smart TV interface. I want to be able to use the remote to control the phone. Youtube/Netflix has to be a format suitable for TV rather than phone.
I also noticed that when I use the phone to the TV, the phone's screen is just enlarged on the screen itself. It does not look anything like an android TV box. The youtube app is just a big app on the screen. Not from a smart TV. Netflix does not rotate into portrait mode. Any ideas?
Any recommendations on what app I need to install? what remote to use? To make the phone an android tv box
