Sync Video/Audio From PC To Android - General Topics

Ok everyone something new that I am trying to setup, something to the effect of a home media streaming server.
The server it self is a laptop intel i5 6gb ram win 7 connected to tv via HDMI, I used this to play netflix, torrents, ect and basically cut off my cable bill.
What I would like to do now is to stream the video/audio via wifi to other android devices that are connected to other tv's through out the house.
for the client side, I will be useing MK802 II android 4.0. connected via HDMI,
question to everyone is ... Has anyone else already accomplish this? and can you give any pointers. I know I can simply share files, ect but I want to sync the video signal to the other televisions so If a video is on in the living room , the same exact video is playing in the kitchen.
And being I want to do this via Android Im here at xda to pick some brains
Thank you in advance

[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.

Remote Access

I dont have much technical knowledge as well as I am new here also but would like to learn new things.
How can i remotely access my phone via pc/laptop and pc/laptop via phone. What sort of things can i do if so.

Hi,
I am using the team viewer app to access my pc from the phone. It's very good. I get the whole desktop on my phone screen and I can control it completely.
For accessing phone via web I.am using the remote web desktop. I can use many features as sms mail from the pc.
If you have further questions do ask . Hope this helps

Thanks brother
Still two more question remain
Could u pls help me
Thanks again

if you dont have wifi adapter in your tv, do you have LAN ? as in wired option. the model of your tv would have helped.
i have my tv connected to the same router as my pc which is also wifi and thus through dlna i am able to view pictures and music from my phone directly onto the tv. sadly the 3gp format of the video recorded by the sensation doesnt allow me to view the videos made from the camera on it. but other videos on the phone can be viewed on tv.
another nice feature is that videos which ppl post on your facebook wall can be streamed to the tv directly from the phone using an app called twonky server.
if you dont have both wifi or wired connection on the tv then do you have an hdmi cable input in your tv? if so you can buy an adapter which will connect to the usb port of the phone and to the hdmi port of the tv.
hope this helps.
hi
thanks for your response
My tv has LAN and hdmi connection so it means I am able to do wired network but I don't know how to do it. I don't have much technical knowledge but I am able to do that. I only need some hints at key areas.
I want to know both ways to connect. I have wireless internet modem/router with 4 wired port connection at my home. I have laptop, windows mobile 6.1 and latest sensation also. all of them is wifi enabled.
I heard somewhere that regular micro usb to hdmi cable will not support to the sensation. So what sort of hdmi cable or connector do I use?
Furthermore I tried both TeamViewer as well as Remote Web Desktop.
Both works very good between my Sensation and my HP Laptop.
I know it's inappropriate to ask here but if u know about app like TeamViewer and Remote Web Desktop for the windows mobile pls let me know.
Thanks again

To connect the Sensation to the television get an MHL adapter (this is how it looks in practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-o_VCYd9NA )

DLNA & OSX

HI guys can you help me with problem.
I can see all my photos and movies on my phone via dlna on WIndows 7,
and i can play and pause it right on the phone, I can use my phone as a remote,
all works well.
But I cant find the same thing for OSX,
i can only share files from my Imac, i cant use it just as a screen like on a PC.
Does anyone know how can i solve this mystery?
I have HTC Sensation,
Tnx,
Marko
Well first off, are you running any DLNA or UPnP app on your Mac? You'll need one. Some good examples are Playback, Rivet, Plex, Connect360.
I'm not too familiar with the Sensation, but does it include or have a DLNA client built in?
yes i have connected media, it works fine with windows

Stream pictures and videos to tablet from Mac?

So I was wondering if there was a way to stream my pictures and videos from my Mac to my Transformer. I have google music for my music so that isn't really an issue, however I'd like to be able to hook my tablet to any tv and view the pictures on my Mac. I know it's probably easier done over LANwifi but it'd be nice if I could do it anywhere.
I assume once I get my mini hdmi cable it will be easy to hook it up to the TV, but getting the media is where I am stuck.
I use Subsonic (http://www.subsonic.org) to stream all my music and video's to my phone and tablet (or any other device)...
The server can be a mac, you can access your media via the web or via an android, iphone, pc widget/app... there is a lot out there...
It doesn't support image viewing (by default), but there is a mod which enables picture viewing support...
You can take a look at http://media.schattorie.nl, apps are available in the market...
does it cost monthly?
So I just got Plex, seems to work thus far. 4.99 for the app and the server on my mac is a free d/l. Just need to see if it works over 3g now...

[Q] Media Streamer / HTPC / Media Centre

Hi folks,
I am very confused regarding the world of media centres / htpc's / media streamers.... so confused in fact that I don't even know the right name to call them.
Anyway at the moment I have loads of videos on my HTC one that I want to be able to watch easily on my TV. Obviously my TV has HDMI and perhaps not so obviously a USB which it can play videos through but it isn't a smart tv.
Since my HTC One only has 32GB then I would like to be able to transfer videos onto the HDD (via my wi-fi network so either plugged into router or into another device) and then play from that or if not then to play directly from my phone onto my TV.
I have been looking at the Now TV box with Plex on and also the Raspberry Pi with XBMC on but I am not sure if either of these can do what I want them to do. Does anyone on here have a home cinema setup along those lines that can advise.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
