Hello
I have been looking a lot for an app that makes airplay or dlna work like on iPhone.
On iPhone you can enter iTunes and chooce a receiver. After you have done that everything plays through the receiver. You can enter spotify or Youtube and it will play through the receiver.

Hi mentio,
I've spent a lot of time looking myself, I searched "airplay site:forum.xda-developers.com" and everyone gives an answer but not the one you and I are looking for. There's also nothing in the wiki for airplay.
In the forums, all answers are, use an media player app that sends that apps audio to airplay. What I'm after and what I think you're after is the ability to root the whole devices audio through Airplay. The sames as when you use Bluetooth.
I really can not find a solution to this problem, if it exists yet, does anyone know anything more comprehensive about airplay?
I'm an android stuck in an apple family
Thanks for any help in advanced guys and gals!

[REQ] EVO as DLNA reciever

If such an app already exists, I would appreciate the help tracking it down, but does anyone know if there is a way to use the EVO as a DLNA reciever?
I have a xoom, and it would be kind of cool if i could 'beam' media from it to my EVO connected to my TV. Also, it would make my EVO useful after i upgrade and get a new phone down the line. Maybe it is more complicated than something an app can provide?
Anyway, if anyone knows of a way i could accomplish such a feat, you would become my new hero! <3 !!!!!1!!!1!!!!
Sounds like you'd need an infrared transmitter /receiver...

The best thing I have found is vlc stream and convert but it requires a PC running vlc and it works with hdmiwin. I've been waiting for something that works with ps3 media server, but haven't found anything...

i could be wrong here, but i think it's a hardware thing.
There are apps to do this on the market place. But the only thing I don't like is that they don't transcode.

App to play YouTube audio? (Music)

Just looking for an app that I can use to search YouTube for music, and play its audio only. Theres a lot of music I listen to on YouTube, but don't want to deal with buffering the whole video, keeping the phone awake etc. Found an app called UMusic, but it has been removed from market and can't find an apk anywhere. Anyone know of any alternatives? Thanks

There was an app called "Ghost town" and rather good it was too. But it also shared the same fate, and was removed. It's obviously Google clamping down on certain licensing laws.
I use these now, they run from the Grooveshark Databases, but are free, and are rather good.

heh, i was looking for the same a couple of months ago. i tried most (all?) of the apps i found to do this (or something like this), some of them worked with flash and others didn't, but i found none of the apps really reliable, as in they all gave me issues sooner or later... ranging from connection problems, major buffering issues, app crashing, to no music found, etc. etc. none of them worked as well as the default youtube app, if only it would work in the background! So would love to hear if there is a simple and nice alternative that showed up recently!!
Yeah ghost town is dead... shame someone can't modify the YouTube app to do this..

Yea, +1 that my friend!
ghost town is here: http://ghosttownapp.com/
I wasn't able to download it from the ghost town site. I found an apk for it but it will no longer play music

Airplay for android

Is it possible to stream music using apple's airplay so we can use the cool docking stations with android too?
Yes we can!
But we have to use honeyplayer app. It can play just music on airplay devices. No video.
Maybe with another app we can play video? I dont know
Yeah that looks good thanks, but you can only play music files which are one your phone and with that (crappy) player, and not with for example PowerAmp. And TuneIn Radio won't work either :/

Hi, do you know of any app that you could stream music from PC with Poweramp?
Actually, I use imediashare lite from the market... its free and I stream movies to my apple tv2 from my phone, play music through my speakers, its freakin great. No PC required, no extra programs to download... I don't know why anybody would use anything else...

I've already tried iMediashare, but my Bowers&Wilkins Zeppelin Air unfortunately isn't recognized. I just wanted to know.if.there is any tweak to stream all sound that would go through your speaker with airplay, so that you can use poweramp etc. too...

Okay well then I'll give it a try today again
Androids are crazy
Actually, I use iMediashare as well and it will stream to any device that is on the same wifi singal as your phone. examples are ps3, xbox, wii, and even pc's.
I can watch any movie on my phone that is on my pc as long as im in wifi range.
I can play any movie or song from my phone on my tv via my ps3 or xbox. No additional software required. Just start imedia player on your phone, go to the movie section on your gaming device and select imediashare.
Actually the gaming system doesnt need to be on wifi. As long as it is connected to the router hardwired or wifi you can share media files with any other device connected to said router.I highly recommend this.
There is also software that will let you use your phone as a remote control for your tv or direct TV box, and remote view your pc. Teamviewer is also free. You can see a live image of your pc from anywhere and control it with a virtual mouse and keyboard all from your phone. Even turn it off.
Androids are crazy... lol
It still doesn't work for me. I will simply use a 3.5mm jack cable, thanks anyway

Will iMediaShare allow me to stream music from any app on android to an apple tv? I'm thinking specifically from rdio. This is a feature I really like on my iPhone, but I'm looking to jump to a Galaxy Nexus.
Does it support also subtitles in srt format?
Player for .MTS format
Hi!
For those of you that have been searching around for a player that supports the .MTS format (files from among them Sony videocameras), I found after some time the BS Player. It is a free application in the market that also supports hardware acceleration! Other players I have not found that supports this format, only converters.

No, you have to go into imediashare and it locates saved media on your device and streams it... it also has a couple dozens apps to stream from internally ... it may have radio come to think of it.

How do I mirror video and audio from Android to a PC/TV?

What I'm looking to do with my SGS3 is WIRELESSLY mirror the audio, and video of my phone to a HTPC/Mac. Apple via "Airplay"allows for this in iOS and it works BEAUTIFULLY using a client on the pc/mac like AirServer, or Reflection. I find it difficult to believe that this is not available on an Android platform. The problem is, searching for such an app almost always results in finding remote desktop apps n such. Watch a video using Airserver or Reflection, and you'll see what I'm looking to do. I've seen media player apps that'll send videos/audio, but not by mirroring the actual Android device. I know I've gotta be missing this somewhere.
There's an app called MirrorOp Sender that sends the video to a connected receiver/client, but it's VERY slow, and does not support the transmission of audio. MirrorOP Sender also requires the device to be rooted. Not like that's a huge deal to me, but perhaps to someone else.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Here's the video I think you might have been talking about. I was unawar that TeamViewer allowed for the control of a phone FROM a pc. I thought it was only to control a PC FROM a phone. Thanks! But it should be known, though this is a seriously cool option. Audio still does not transfer over the wifi, only two-way video communications.
And so the hunt continues for something like AirServer and Reflection on Android. Don't necessarily nee to control it from a pc/mac, but would really like a wireless audio/video presentation platform for Android.
Bringing this post back to life in hope someone has a new idea. Can someone please explain to me why the ability to mirror audio and video from Android to a PC/Mac isn't available yet? Thanks

I am looking for the same, Although the other way. I think there are bunch of apps to mirror your Display but audio is not possible due to some limitations in Android framework.

I too was looking for an app like this and honestly sat there and started to wonder why i actually needed it.. can you explain a senario where this make sense and why an app that beams audio/videois not a good enough solution. hell i am with you on having more options including a featuer like airplay mirror, but maybe untill such application exists i can suggest good enough work arounds because like you i spent MANY MANY hours trying to figure out how do do this mirror thing with no dice. but i did find nice workarounds..
Holy hell, finally I think we might have a solution. I haven't tried it yet, but clearly, we aren't the only ones in need of this feature.

Looks promising. SplashTop 2 works other way round but is too damn pricey.
Just reviving this thread because I am also looking for the same thing. That app posted in the last post, BQScreen, as far as I know doesn't differ from the one the OP stated. Both apps don't transmit any audio, they just mirror the screen. MirrorOp is kinda cool because you can control it both ways, you can also use your mouse to click buttons on your computer to control your phone. Keyboard also works so you can reply to all your whatsapp msgs from your computer but at the end of the day it doesnt transmit any audio.
I use a galaxy note 2 and have never had the need to do this before because both the tvs in my house that get the most use happen to have a computer in the same room and I have them set up to just send the computer's screen to the tv screen and use unified remote/xbmc remote to do whatever I want, thus ending the need for allshare cast/apple tv devices which in my opinion offer an inferior experience than a full fledged HTPC.
The problem is that I have a tv in a room in my house that is getting more and more use lately and it doesn't have any way of showing netflix or youtube or all the files I have in my media server, etc. Basicaly, no access to the internet and I bought the tv right before all the smartv craze started. I am now on the search of a way to mirror my phone's screen (or anyones) to that tv in order to give that tv some added value. Of course I would still need to have some kind of reciever in that tv to get it to work so I really don't know what I am searching for. In the end I will probably end up purchasing an allcast dongle and use it specificaly for that tv, that way all tv's in my house would have access to all the media in my house and the internet but if anyone here has another option, I am all ears.
I have google tv and youtube connects nicely, i'm not sure if that's what your looking for though. I just connect and it plays the video on my tv.
Reviving this i case the 4.3 framework has changed to allow this functionality. If someone with knowledge of such things can chime in that would be great!
Bumping this topic, years have gone by and still no solution?
mirror from koush is the closest thing ...
it's meant for airplay so you can just install airserver on your pc
Chromecast
Google Chromevast
Looking for the solution. AirServer works on Windows and promises Google Cast support but it looks like it only casts audio from Chrome desktop tab. Google Play Music app discovers the chromecast device but music doesn't start

Anyway to pair my friends iphone to my android

I have music on my android and have a workout partner with an iphone. I use doubletwist on my android (also available on the iphone) is there a way for him ti listen to the same music I have through a pairing, or better yet allow me to transfer music to his device? Not a big bluetooth user, but this sounds like something that should be possible no?

It might be possible with an app called Bump - available both on Android and iPhone, BUT:
- it uses internet data (potential additional costs)
- I'm not sure if it works with music files, I know it works with photos and contacts.
if you wanna try here's a useful link I googled:
