The Desire HD/Inspire unfortunately do not support HDMI out.
They were designed to use DLNA for all video out.
could you guys forward me to tutorials or information on any hardware/software i need?

This is your best bet if your TV does not support DLNA streaming:

There could be cheaper alternatives though.

Is there a certain app in the Android Market that could do this using perhaps a PS3?

Install an app called imediashare in the market. Works like a charm on ps3 with some good features too. Cheers

Thanks - just tried it and it works well.
This is what u need:
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=207010
HTC Desire HD Media Link DLNA Adaptor.
Media Link is a DLNA multimedia adaptor converting your non-DLNA TV into a full DLNA certified TV.
Simply power on and connect to the HDMI port on your TV, Desire HD will be able to wirelessly stream video/movies (up to 720p), photo, and music content stored on the device to DLNA-enabled HDTVs or to standard HDTVs via its new Media Link adapter with HDMI out.

Hi,
Is there any possible way for HDMI or Tv input, say from a camera?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
You mean like watching pictures from eg a camera on the DHD screen? If that's the case then no.
Edit: You can ofcourse always move the files to your microsd card and watch them that way.
Yes if you can get the camera streaming the signal over wifi. Other than that - no way you can get a live feed on the DHD's screen.

You can use the inbuilt DLNA feature to transmitt movies and music over a network.
But you need a DLNA compatible TV or a Xbox or ps3
I have some problem...
Ok I imagine it would be fun to go to a friends house and hook up your 5$ Micro HDMI cable from your phone to their TV and start playing some strange video... but besides that, what would be the most impressive? I'm thinking running some video console emulator would be the best trick, if friends with androids could get a bluetooth controller app off market and could play VS.? Is this even possible?:fingers-crossed:
Yes, it is possible. You can use a wii remote, PS3 controller, or USB keyboard as a controller for the games.

theres an app called sixaxis controller that should allow you to pair a PS3 controller thru bluetooth
i also found this which looks kinda kool, i didnt read it to see if it has specific requirments, just looked cool as hell and caught my eye lol
http://www.gizmag.com/gameklip-android-ps3-games/23592/
Also there are some emulators that have built in controller support so all you have to do is pair it with the phone and map the buttons. But for the sixaxis controller app you need to be rooted for the controller to work. Rooting will also give you the option to overclock the processor so some of the more graphics heavy games will run smoother.

That is pretty sick! At first I though it was for the Keyboard function of a smartphone but actually the screen for the game! Though I'd like to see that mount different...In the gaming sense for VS games Tribes Ascend?!!Wonder if they'' have a android app prolly not .... It is better and does not require the TV...In the mean time I came up with using the TV connected to the triumph for a mobile security detail using tinycam monitor installed on the Triumph connected via HDMI to TV and SeCuret spycam Livestream (vs ip cam it has the benefit of detect motion @upload to dropbox as well... Feeding video is all IP camera does

If you don't have the apk or the icon in the phone must have been removed from the rom version You using. I there are some apps in the market for dnla server you can try that way.

have you tried the HDMI ?
schubeir
Or just put the vids/pictures on a USB drive, and then plug it into your TV.
It is advised to convert the .jps 3D pictures into .mpo first, otherwise the TV will destroy the aspect ratio. (unfortunately)
(Use 'Stereo Photo Maker' to convert from jps to mpo in batches!)

I subscribe to that.For me HDMI was the only way - continous and fast, to see 3D on my LG 3D TV. All other stuff that implies the use of Wifi or ethernet is not good to use - pretty low speed of streaming data and on USB it's more likely to have conflicts and errors due to improper format or codecs.

No, USB works perfect.
Why would a video made with an LG device not work on a LG TV?
Like I said, I'm doing this all the time.

Hi,
New to the world of Android and loving it so far. We have two new devices. The wife has a TF300T and I have an HTC Evo 3D (Evo V technically). Would like the option to use these as remote controllers for a media center.
I was wondering if people had any media center recommendations? Should it be Android powered as well?
I was checking this out but I don't know how compatible it would be with our devices? The price is what caught my eye of course.

If your just looking for something simple that is wife friendly, how about a roku player? There is a roku remote app. I'm not sure what kind of streaming you'd be looking to do but it works for what I need (Netflix, Hulu & streaming video from my pc using playOn)

We really don't pay for any streaming services. I'd like it to be able to play any video format. Have a fairly large xvid collection. I thought being able to control it from her transformer would be a neat thing.
I agree that a Roku box is probably your simplest option, but from what I can tell it doesn't do xvid. It will play files from a USB flash or hard drive, but only files it supports (MKV and MP4 H.264, I believe).
I stream xvid using playOn. There is a cost to it though, it's $20 a year (at least it was last year)

I downloaded XBMC to my Shield yesterday and set some of the stuff up... today, I'll see if I can get it to work and will let you know!
I have not tried XBMC however Plex works great.
xbmc here http://xbmc.org/download/
Navi x addon here https://code.google.com/p/navi-x/downloads/list

No, but I plan to when I get home from work, I'll report back with my findings.
I tried XBMC just now, and it couldn't play a 1080p mkv on my local network very well, I'm guessing it wasn't using hardware decoding. I was just using the regular Android apk provided on the xbmc website.
Ok then try the neon or non neon .apk files here and the mplayer video player
