[Q] Streaming from Android to PC

Sorry if there is already a thread for this.
I'm looking for an app which play the sound of my mobile on my computer (and them my Hifi)
Then I can listen to toutube or spotify easily on my Hifi, simply using my Android phone.
Thanks a lot

Android to Audio Stream
Is there a solution yet since I am also looking out for something like this.

I don't know guys if you are interested into, but there is an application that allows you to stream video and audio and see your picture via Wireless on your computer using your web browser...
Websharing file 1.6.1 apk
Nextapp is the company who create it, I use regularly everyday and is a good one!!

AFAIK, there's currently no way to do a raw audio stream from Android over the network; and I can almost guarantee you it won't be possible at all without root. Closest you could get would be getting a Bluetooth audio sink (like this or the official Nexus home dock) and hooking that to your hifi. There are apps to stream local content via DLNA, but there isn't anything to stream arbitrary audio in Android.
EDIT: Some PC Bluetooth stacks may also be able to receive A2DP audio as well, but it's not a universal feature.

Check out mecanto, it's an app that syncs your music to the cloud and then you can stream it from the cloud and play on your phone.

I'm amazed that there's no interest in this. I'm sure I haven't searched enough and so probably should pick on a more current thread. But it seems a no-brainer to me to want to go this direction. Everyone discusses streaming from PC to phone. Why would I do that instead of just listening to the PC? Now if I could stream from phone to PC... I have many phone apps that let me listen to unlimited tunes and radios from all over the world, which of course I use outside the house. But using it in this way in the house, my phone would not only be the source, but the "remote" -- the controller. Walk around the house w/ just the phone. Beats my carrying my Squeezebox "portable" radio, as I do. Or maybe I need to pay $150 for the Squeezebox solution, their remote controller... Just don' get it.

yes. i also think this is a great idea. there a heaps of pc to android threads.
usage scenario i am thinking.
walking around with device. the device contains song files and player. if that player had a button like stream to ie desktop, home theatre speakers, etc etc. that would be great. sorta like wmp 12 stream to button if anyone is familiar with that. bluetooth has the restriction of range so ideally wifi would be the better solution. curious to know if anyone has come across any updates to this.

I use 2 apps because im undecided which is best firt one is called 2play dnla
and the other is upnp. search in the market for both :-D

THAKS DREA!!!! wow I have been wish exactly the 2play app do... I like to play music on my Android tha I can listen from my large PC speakers!!! COOL!!

Streaming from Android To SERVER STREAMING
Is there any application also in beta test to let the android phone act as Media encoder to stream to a Server what's coming on your phone?
On Iphone platform there an interesting app LIVU (stevemcfarlin.com/livu/features.html).
Would be nice to have one similar on Android phone
Fabio

Theres an app called Twonky which acts as media server on your Android. It lets you stream upnp to whatever device you have capable such as Apple TV, Playstation etc. I have an AC Ryan Playon HD player which is hooked to my local network and I am able to recieve and play media through this to my HD TV from my Desire over wifi.

Any suggestions on the following then:
I would love to find a program that can both send audio and video without transcoding that can manage both IOS and Android
Im currently using PS3 media server for the PS3 and StreamToMe for sending to my iphones/ipads. They both work excellent. Was also amazed with the lack of streaming programs.

A simple solution that worked for me from a windows pc to android was was using ES File Explorer (free), choose LAN from dropdown (top left), add new server, scan - it should then pick up your shared network.
Then navigate to your chosen movie, play with moboplayer. Voila.
If it doesn't play straight away make sure moboplayer is set to soft decoder.
Sometimes you may have to press and hold your movie icon, open as video, choose moboplayer.

I think MyPhoneExplorer can do that (not sure)
For youtube videos: the youtube app can link with your pc through Youtube leanback

There is an app called "Remote Droid Player"(play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.newandroid). Though it needs a small application needs to be installed on PC.

hmmm... I saw the program ArkMC in google play , when I have the similar problem , you can try...good luck!

Still no way to stream every sound that your android device plays to your PC? Is it not technically possible to create and android server that sends a raw stream of sound to the PC over wifi?
All the solutions linked in this thread requires you to actively choose what mp3 to listen to. I want to stream notifications/spotify/radio/everything that is played.

[App][2.2+] DreamStreamoid - TV everywhere (3G with android, VLC and dreambox)

I’d like to introduce DreamStreamoid.
DreamStreamoid is an android client for enigma2 receivers (e.g. Dreambox, VU+, IPBox, QBox).
The focus is on the streaming of TV, radio and recordings.
You can easily stream channels and recordings, switch channels, browse the EPG, choose bitrates and scalings via the mobile phone and much more.
It is possible to stream your audio and video content to your phone where ever you are, if you have at least a 3G internet connection (over a VLC server).

Hey
Very cool app - works great!

Great, works well - any chance you can add support for SSL?

Possibly!
The problem is, that VLC doesn’t support https!
And using the enigma WebIf over https, the way other tools (like dreamdroid) are doing that, doesn’t seem much more secure!
In a other thread, I’ve found this:
The problem with https is, you can never be sure, that the box you are talking to is your receiver.
Because every dreambox has the same certificate! Or am I wrong?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That’s certainly right!
It would be most secure, if you create a own ssl certificate and exchange it between phone and receiver.
I could imagine to write a ssl proxy running on the VLC-PC or receiver.
The challenge is to make it easy to use.
We will see…
If anybody has a different opinion – please, let me know!

Hello
It seems, that several users have problems to configure DreamStreamoid, especially 3G streaming.

Tool to restart the vlc service process?
Hello Torsten,
First of all, thanks for this great tool!
But I've got 2 questions:
1) After I've watch one channel via 3G and I want to watch a other channel then 9 out of 10 times I only hear a sound chip and then nothing happens.
After I restart the VLC service process (which is allot faster to do then to reboot the whole machine (which by the way; the pro plug in works great ) then I can watch successfully to a other channel.
So can you upgrade the pro plug in so that the user can choose to just only restart the VLC service process or the server?
(My config; Latest VLC version (v1.1.11) and Win7 64-Bit).
2) Is it possible to use fast forward (or skip to xx:xx time frame),etc, when 3G and VLC is being used to watch recordings? (This seems only to be working locally when using Vplayer).
Thanks in advance!!

If you want, you can send me the VLC logs.

I have dreamstreamoid up and running over 3G just great - BUT - when I select another channel (zwap) the reciever does not change channel so streaming fails.
Any sugestions?
For the time beeing I use anoter app to change channel then request stream - OK

Hi matsene
DreamStreamoid doesn't switch channels on your TV.
If you use a receiver with only one tuner, you can turn your box into standby.
That will solve your problem.

OK - then i suggest that you add functionality so that I can control what channels to stream from the dramstreamoid - avoiding the need to use e.g DreamDroid to switch channels.

Hi! i am strugling to get the enigma plugin to work, i ahve vu+ duo and copied the dreamstreamoid folder to extesions folder. set passwords and port and opened ports in router. but i do not know if it is running or not ? I can not turn on vlc pc, so something is wrong...
Can someone help?

Hi praun
The plugin runs in backround.
You can't see anything!
Sometimes I will enhance the plugin with a log window or something like that.
It is probably a problem of the configuration of your PC.
You have to enable WOL in the BIOS and Windows.
Perhaps, you try a WOL Client from a second PC or try a WOL-App on your phone.

it possible my pc on work as a vlc server pc ?
im new here i like this software from all other apps because it the only one can stream to 3g.
the problme is that i dont whant to use my pc on my home as vlc server so my question is
if it possible to use my pc at work as a vlc server ?
(my pc at work is online 24/7 and i have control to open any port there it behind fortiget firewall)
if it possible how to do that ?

Hi avinaimi
It could be possible, if you have a very high upload bandwith at home.
I would say at least 7-8Mbit/s. And you should use a VPN. Otherwise it is not secure.
You could use the PRO version. With that, you can switch your PC on and off from your phone!

how does dlna suppose to work in sensation

I have htc sensation and galaxy 10.1 tab.
If I start allshare in galaxy and want the video to be shown in htc sensation,
what applicaition do I need to install?
Is sensation a server only DLNA device? so it can only provide media to others.
Thanks.

Pretty sure its only a server.
Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod

Sensation is a streaming server. You need a client, like a DLNA enabled TV (like the latest Sony Bravia LED TVs) or Windows 7/Mac OS enabled machine with streaming on to play back the videos.
You also need to be on the same network (like home or office LAN). Sensation detects all playback devices automatically and starts streaming.
It's pretty cool too, I love this feature. Gives me the option of not buying a stereo dock, I can just use my TV to playback music.

Thanks. can I make it a streaming client?
e.g.: others with sensation could just watch what is from streaming server.

Unfortunately, I haven't tried that. But how it should work - if it supports playback from other DLNA devices - is that you should be able to find your "Sensation Z710e" in the list of streaming clients in Windows Media player (for instance). I can, for e.g., find my TV in that list. Same should be true for the Sensation.
Let me get back to you on this, I'll give it a try.
But logically you should stream from a smaller screen to a larger so everyone can see what you have on your hand-held. Can't think of a scenario why you'd like to do it the other way round - cell phones are more personal .

Just a general question.
e.g. there could be a situation where 10 people with sensation and want to share a media or picture. In this case one of the sensation could be the server and others could be the clients.
I have galaxy tablet 10.1 with allshare. I could not connect sensation with tablet. Seems that they can only be the server. odd.

Don't know of any real-time collaboration features in the HTC Sensation, but would be nice though. DLNA is not the choice of protocol for this though.
Your solution would need a server maintaining lists of clients (or one of the phones could act as one) and the rest would connect and get shared content from them. Haven't seen any app on the Market that does this kinda P2P.
P.S., tried the Windows Media Player stream list, HTC Sensation wasn't listed there among the set of DLNA clients that can play the stream. Sorry, bro.

thanks. Now understand a bit more about DLNA, something so so.

I ran into an issue with this still don't quite understand it. But I was able to get it to work once on my pc. The pc had to have the media player open before ny sensation was able to find it. But now I can't get it work at all. No settings have been changed since I was able to get it work. So Idk hopefully HTC will come out with a fix. Or maybe someone can come up with a definitive answer to all these questions. DLNA on the sensation seems to be an issue for a lot of users

maybe someone can make a quick tutorial?
I would love to watch photos and movies from the sensation on my PC without cable.

Bro, you got it the other way round. What you're explaining is the Sensation being the server (since it is streaming) to the clients (which are playing back the stream).

The guy above has done it pretty nicely, though he had his client-servers mixed up. Also, the playback quality on my HD TV was outstanding, no run-time compression (come on, it's a mobile phone, who are we kiddin ) and the playback had no lags. Also, I can play it from anywhere in my home - even outside if I can get a decent enough signal on my WiFi.

It can act as a server to an Xbox 360 for instance, but the Xbox must be in Media Center Extender mode for it to work, meaning you need MCE running at the time.
Now with W7 the Xbox will log into the W7 computer as a service account and start MCE for you (once you've done the initial setup of course), not sure about Vista.

You can do the same thing from the Gallery app to allow you to stream video FROM a DLNA device (via Windows Media Player on Windows 7 PC in my case) to the Sensation.
Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. My girlfriend can do the same on a Sense 2.1 ROM I put on her Desire, but I couldn't work out how to do it on my new Sensation (now I have INXS in my head) because the 'Videos' app of old is gone. Now Santa can buy me a nice big NAS for Christmas and I can put all my film/tv shows on it and watch them in bed! Unfortunately I doubt 'santa' is reading this because she, I mean he has a life.
By the way, if it helps anyone, in Windows Media player on a Windows 7 pc, click on the 'Stream' drop-down menu on the Library page (top left of) and choose the options you want to enable. For me it's 'Allow remote control of my player...' and 'Automatically allow devices to play my media'. If your Sensation and your PC are connected to the same router, you should now be able to stream media from your phone to the PC, AND also view media from your pc on your phone : )

[Suggestion] App that routes all android audio to PC via Wifi (No DLNA or UPNP)

Hi there,
I want to make an app suggestion. I hope that this does not count as cross posting as I already put a question, if such an app exists in the Q&A section of android. Since I did not get an answer, I suppose that there is no app like this:
Please see my original post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379161&highlight=Audio
I want to summarize the general idea of the app:
I think it would be great if you could output all (or most) of your android audio via wifi to the PC. If you could create an app, that would work like the bluetooth headsets or car radios, you would have something like airplay for apple (at least for sound). This would be really different from using dlna or upnp solutions or remote controls and would have several advantages, because you could switch between listening with your ear plugs to going to the hifi system coupled with the PC without a break (or at least very little). You could output all sounds like music apps which are using streaming services and don't offer remote controls.
As I posted in the Q&A forum before, I am no developer. But I want to make the suggestion here. I think, a lot of people would love an app like this. Perhaps something like this could be done, if you fool android to believe that it connected to a bluetooth device, but in fact it is the app which is rerouting all the audio to the client on the PC.
I would be happy to hear, if you think this is a ****ty idea or if you like it. Is it even possible on a rooted phone. Or is fooling bluetooth to much of a hassle?
Best regards,
Bel.

Perhaps I did not properly explain, what my suggestion was?
In a short formula it would be: (fake) a2dp but with wifi and not bluetooth.
Something like this possible?

Bad style....
I know this maybe bad style, but I wanted to push this thread up again. So I am writing this message. --> "Push Up"
Did not want to bug you with my threads, but I am really curious if something like this is possible.

Its possible but you need two diffeent apps. one for phone/tablet, one for computer. i havent looked at the android SDK much when it comes to audio, but if you can grab the audio source, whether its hardware or software, then you can just write a quick portion that uses udp packets and a companion java app or whatever for your pc that grabs those packets off the network and plays the sounds in the packets.

Not to be rude but I suspect the reason nobody has replied to this is because it is really not desirable. If I am correct, you want to enable your android to stream music through your wifi to your computer which sends it to your speakers and causes sound. The only reason I can think you would want to to do this is if you wanted to here streaming internet radio from your android play on your stereo. Why not just access the same streaming radio on your pc via the internet? If you have no internet, just tether your phone.
I am currently experimenting with ftp serving. By setting my verizon DSL modem/router to "DMZ Hosting" ENABLED and installing "andFTP" on my phone and "serv-u" on my pc, I made my pc an ftp server which shares files with any device that has the proper credentials to access it. Currently I can access files on my pc from anywhere I go, but I have as of yet not been able to transfer streaming media. I am now looking into "UPnP" but don't know if it will work over a WAN (internet)

Setup lamp/wamp (webserver) on your pc, and install ampache media server. Works great and has a couple android clients already.
You could also setup a webdav for filesharing, and ssh for remote io. Ssh is much better than ftp for security, especially combined with keys.
If you run Linux setup mpd, and port forward to the server to allow access from anywhere. The Mpdroid android client will stream to your phone too.
Hope this helps.

I am looking an app that can stream any audio to Samsung Smart TV. Just like HTC Sense music player does with music. I've found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.airaudio but it streams only to airplay devices.

Have you tried using the app called Skifta. Sorry i cant give you the link at the moment not at my PC

utility
I find the OP's app suggestion desirable. I have been searching for an app/program that will do just this: send all my phone audio to my WiFi speakers and/or HTPC. This option would not only allow me to switch to WiFi speakers from my headphones when I am returning home, but also to receive call/text audio notifications in a timely manner when I'm not near my phone, which is often.
Farlander said:
Not to be rude but I suspect the reason nobody has replied to this is because it is really not desirable. If I am correct, you want to enable your android to stream music through your wifi to your computer which sends it to your speakers and causes sound. The only reason I can think you would want to to do this is if you wanted to here streaming internet radio from your android play on your stereo. Why not just access the same streaming radio on your pc via the internet? If you have no internet, just tether your phone.
I am currently experimenting with ftp serving. By setting my verizon DSL modem/router to "DMZ Hosting" ENABLED and installing "andFTP" on my phone and "serv-u" on my pc, I made my pc an ftp server which shares files with any device that has the proper credentials to access it. Currently I can access files on my pc from anywhere I go, but I have as of yet not been able to transfer streaming media. I am now looking into "UPnP" but don't know if it will work over a WAN (internet)

Simply run the free AirPlay-receiver "shairport4w" on the PC and everything should be fine

Hi guys,
I just published my first app on Google Play, it's called Weezzler and it lets you play the music in you phone in any brower using wifi. No need to install anything on your computer, just control your music from the browser once you are conected. The only requirment is to be connected to the same wifi network in your phone and the computer.
Sorry I can't post links, I'm new at the forum. Soon I hope to create a special thread for this.

[APP][4.0+] vGet: Stream, Download, DLNA/UPnP of Embedded Videos

I've released vGet (Play Store) as a tool to download HTML5 videos from any site for later offline viewing.
It works as a simple web browser, but instead of playing the videos directly it allows to download embedded videos or play them with a player of choice. This also works for many flash videos.
It includes has an integrated download manager that supports multiple concurrent connections to speed up downloading form slow servers.
It has two browsing modes:
Desktop/Flash Mode: Pretends to be a Desktop Browser with Flash support. Some sites only show (flash) videos if they detect a desktop browser. It basically extracts the video URL used by the Flash Player. This only works if the video is a static file - which it is in most cases. But as there is no canonical show a video with Flash it can fail to extract the video URL. It also does not work for RTSP or live streams.
Mobile Mode: Pretends to be a Mobile browser without Flash support. Some sites support HTML5 videos, but only use them if Flash is NOT supported by the browser (which is kind of silly but it happens). This should work an all sites that use HTML5 Videos. The only exception that I am aware of is HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) which is currently not supported by vGet.
HTML5-Videos are also detected in Desktop Mode - if used by the site.
NEW: vGet (v0.3) now allows to play (cast) videos directly on a DLNA-Device (for example your SmartTV, XBoX, MediaCenter, AllShare device etc.). vGet instructs your SmartTV to streams the video directly from the Internet. The video stream is not relayed though vGet. This saves battery and even allows to turn of your Android device completely while the video keeps playing. Please note that this feature is still experimental and depends on the capabilities of your DLNA Device.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Hi,
the link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...id=mb.videoget
Enjoy everyone!
cheers

The link in the second posr seems to be broken. Just search for vget - should be available in Italy.

The correct link is :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mb.videoget

Let me know if you find a site where it is not working as expected.

BTW, also if you're missing a feature or have suggestions for improvements use the issue tracker or just post them here.

DLNA support
Version 0.3 adds DLNA-Support:
vGet now allows to play (cast) videos directly on a DLNA-Device (for example your SmartTV, XBoX, MediaCenter, AllShare device etc.). vGet instructs your SmartTV to streams the video directly from the Internet. The video stream is not relayed though vGet. This saves battery and even allows to turn of your Android device completely while the video keeps playing. Please note that this feature is still experimental and depends on the capabilities of your DLNA Device.

I'm totally going to try this. I wonder if this will make First Row Sports work better.

Yes, Youtube is disabled - otherwise distribution in Play Store would not be possible.

Works perfect here on htc one GE @ 4.3.
DLNA is the best feature and it works nicely on my desktop here with wmp.
I will try this later on my Samsung F series model at home.
Looks realy promising and makes a chromecast dongle needless if the tv can handle upnp.
Is there a chance to get the "Youtube unlocked version" here as apk in the forum?
thanks,

I personally didn't feel the need to use it on Youtube yet. But maybe, I'll release a non-Play Store version at some stage.

update
v0.3.1 reduces battery usage by disconnecting from playing DLNA-Devices while the screen is turned off.
So now vGet does not consume any power at all while playing on a DLNA device when the screen is turned off.

great app!!!
thanks a lot for this man! I dumped a lot of apps in place of this. i have firefox+flashdownloader plugin installed on my phone just for saving flash videos but I guess it's goodbye FF and Flash Player for me I love how the download continues even after phone restarts. more power to the development of this app man! a release that works with youtube videos will be more awesome, hoping you consider it! thanks again.

perfect!
Hi,
congratulations for the great app. I use it a lot. Do you guys know if a similar solution exists for Windows 7?? Maybe as a plugin for firefox or chrome? Since some of the websites are not optimized for mobile gadgets i'd like to stream from my laptop instead of from my android phone. I've tried to google but could not find anything...
Thanx for some hints!

I guess you are referring to the DLNA feature? I was actually thinking about releasing a Chrome extension with features similar to vGet. But it would probably lack DLNA support as this would require native code (a browser plugin) and I don't like that idea. Chromecast could be supported in a browser extension, but it only supports a limited set of media formats - so it would not work for many flash videos.
You could of course just playback on the computer and mirrors the complete screen - but that's rather inefficient.
Personally I just use a tablet instead of a phone for vGet, so non-mobile sites are not too hard to use.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I mean the DLNA feature. I don't wanna buy another device such as chromecast so I was hoping for such a convienient way to stream to my WD TV like with vget. I tried to mirror the screen already but performance is not the best. Anyway, thanks again for your reply.

I'm a huge fan of your app. Will it be available for kitkat soon?
