Guys I have a Android phone and Android tablet. I want to plug my tablet into the HDTV with the Micro HDMI play a movie and be able to remote control it with my phone. Is this possible? From my experience I have found I can only use VLC Direct Pro with a PC involved. If you know a way please share
Thanks!

Hello,
is there an app that allow me to stream the sound output form android to my pc or feed a icecast server?

I use Twonky Media Mobile. It will stream music to any DLNA compatible device. I am using it to stream the music from my Vibrant to my LG Blu-ray player (which outputs to my receiver) as we speak. It's a free app and it works well.
Just do a search for Twonky in the Android Market.
Something else you can do is use "Remote for iTunes". You can play your music on your iTunes from your phone. I literally just DJ'ed a party 2 days ago the entire night using this. I had my laptop hidden away and it worked awesomely.

I'd use one of the DLNA apps, such as Twonkey or Skifta. You may need a decent DLNA player - I use BubbleUPnP player combined with Dice Player for video. If your media is hosted on the PC then you won't need a server as it's all built in to Windows.
So far the set-up above (Skifta / BubbleUPnP / Dice) works really well for me allowing such fancy operation as playing a video on my pc that's stored on the Transformer using my HTC Desire to control the whole thing.
The transformer does have a UPnP server built in but I didn't get on with it at all.
DLNA / UPnP is, IMO, the way to go.
@ mace
how do you setup the upnp server on your PC? I tried using BubbleUPnP on my TF, it can detect some music on my PC but most can't play. Thanks

Do you know of an app that plays FLV on Asus?
Maybe Flash player in the web browser?

dice player, mx video player or bs player lite work with downloaded flv's.
Imediashare, there is no transformer version in the market, but you can extract this app from android phone. Works great.
This is not a free or super cheap solution but it is Awesome:
I use Cyberlink`s PowerDVD 11 Ultra on my Win7 PC (which is connected to my 42" Plasma TV), PowerDVD Mobile on My Asus Transformer Tablet. and PowerDVD Remote on my HTC Incredibe (Android Phone). All devices connect seamlessly so you can easily share, play and download media across different platforms.
First off... Power DVD 11 Ultra is simply superb for playing any video file, DVD, or Blue-Ray Disc on your PC.
Then I use the PowerDVD Remote on my Android Phone to command PowerDVD 11 Ultra via WiFi Router.
Then I Can Stream Music and Video to My Tablet using PowerDVD Mobile.
Plus a lot more features.. to many to list (I hate typing..lol)
Go to the Cyberlink website and check it out.. but search the web to save a lot of money if you decide to buy it.. I noticed that the "eCrater" website is selling PowerDVD 11 Ultra "by Cyberlink" (for PC) for $29.99.. I paid more a few months back.
Once you have PowerDVD 11 "Ultra" you can download PowerDVD Mobile and PowerDVD Remote for Free via the Google App Store.
Try weezo 3.0 : Photos, Music, Video, TV streaming from your windows PC to your transformer, remote admin, and a lot more :It's a free App and you have nothing to install on your TF101 !
Android support is new with the 3.0 release, a few bugs left but really awsome !

Hi Guys,
I just got an HTC ONE and I absolutely love it. I have gotten so much help from this forum hopefully I can start assisting others on my own.
I am also waiting for a chromecast to ship to me, and I am getting a Roku soon.
My basic question is can I do the following:
Use PS3 Media Server on my mac for DLNA streaming. Connect to that server with my Android Skifa app (Select PS3 Media Server as Source).
Then can I select either Roku or Chromecast to stream directly to my TV?
I think If I have my Roku with a DLNA channel I can just choose that as the player in Skifta.
I know if I want to use Roku it will have to be another DLNA hookup. I believe that if I want to do it via Chromecast all I need to do is cast my android screen (which is not available yet but I am hearing there are groups working on that funcitonality.)
Can anyone give any thoughts on if this is possible, if I am explaining the procedure correctly, and if you think this functionality will come to the chromecast in the near future? Thanks a lot for your help!

i have on occasion used my old galaxy s-2 as a home theater media hub. many fones support mhl (media hdmi link) and the cables are cheap online (e.g.: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NTHXYY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ).
once you get your fones picture on your large screen tv, the next step is to install the software to manage your media. xbmc makes an app for android which can be downloaded here: http://xbmc.org/download/
once installed you can use another android device and install the xbmc remote app to control your media server (which is the fone connected to your tv). i would assume that a blu-tooth remote would also work.
other benefits are streaming videos from another fone or tablet should also work once dlna is enabled. xbmc addons (such as youtube, hulu, channel-1) work the same as if they were running on linux, windows, mac. you can launch other android apps from within xbmc although they cant be controlled with the remote.
the limitation is that my fone is limited to a 720p resolution (ymmv).
Hey guys,
I know it is quite common to stream media from PC to android or stream content from android to a smart TV or Chromecast etc; but is there any even reasonably elegant solution to stream media to PC.
I am well aware that I could use VNC (or similar) to control the PC or access files on my tablet from my PC using an FTP setup, however I am looking to playback media through PC from my devices.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance,
install " bubble upnp " on your android device and launch it. make sure your android and pc are on the same wifi then launch windows media player othe the left side near you should see Bubbleupnp and click it.

I have used this app but I was not able to stream it, what can be the possible reasons?
not to fimiliar with similar apps. but ya bubbleupnp is weird if you have movies or pics they have to be in the DCIM?/the camera folder where the device saves stuff from the camera.
