[Q] Can an app be made to share screen via dlna? - Android Apps and Games

I upnp/dlna is just a file transfer protocol, but what if we could use that to share android's screen?
App captures screen cast into a generic video file, dlna device sees the file, file is streamed, we have screen share over dlna.
Is this a possible idea? Anyone with some skill care to try it?

i know im not the only one who wants this app
Does it install and if so does it crash?
If so, post the logcat.
doesnt install
but do i need to put that odex file somewhere first?
From what I have read you need to push the Dlna.apk and Dlna.odex to /system/app/. I did that and it doesn't list in applications. I am a newb.
make a shortcut to it

Apparently we need to deodex the Dlna.odex and re-odex it with the proper files specific to the evo?
I am not sure, breaking new ground here myself and not a lot is returned in search results.
I am getting BOOTCLASSPATH errors when I try and deodex with smali. Have to keep digging.
nice work mchlwvr614!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know there are better dlna apps in the market.

Not the best, but i use andromote for my player and twonky for my server app.
TwonkyServer is already in the market, free, and serves up pics, vids, and audio over DLNA pretty easily. Works with PS3 and 360 and I'm sure other DLNA devices. Why not just use that?
Twonky server doesnt work on my evo and many others. Its documented.

I just found something else I am going to try called apktool. It's hosted on google code. Anyone know of any other tutorials on porting applications?

Media server, good as dlna. Works with ps3 and my samsung 52" lcd.
Andromote is good for receiving from media servers.
Web Share is good for internet based sharing, like orb

None of the alternatives mentioned allow playback of video files on our handsets from a dlna/upnp client.
I'd like to stream my movies/shows from my PC to my evo instead of needing to use my TV and PS3 or other media player.

Seconded for VLC Stream and Convert. So, far it is the closest thing to AirVideo if you're familiar with iOS.
You can find setup instructions on the developer's site, http://traveldevel.com/
And adding some VLC command lines to a startup shortcut, you can have it automatically start and minimize to the system tray on boot up.
Something like this:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http
and you can also specify host/port by adding this line
--http-host=192.168.1.3:7070

Stream Videos, Music, Pic from PC to Phone

OK, So i have read the related pre-existing threads and none of them answer my question.
I have tried apps like Emit, Gmote, VLC stream & convert but none of them are able to play media on my phone. They basically act as remote control to play media of PC using mobile (Emit can stream videos & music but not pics). I want to play the media (including pics) available on my PC, on my phone. How do I do that? My phone is not rooted.

Motocast

This does what you are looking for, allows you to stream movies, music, and pictures... and allows you to download any file you have on your pc to your phone!

That was the first thing i tried. That is the worst choice. It requires internet to stream. Why do I need internet man? It's like if someone want to go to south america from north america, he goes to japan first, then antarctica, then south america. Thats the motocast way.
I mean, I have tethering and bluetooth. I want to use that to stream and not waste my precious internet bandwidth to stream things which I already have on PC.
i use file manager as well as zumocast. filemanager for me only works when im at home on wifi, so im not 100% sure if it uses data or not. click the network tap, scan for networks, and log in with the same user name and password that you use on your pc. you can also move files from your phone to your pc this way, and delete, move, and change files on your pc from your phone as well. full remote control.
I use TVersity. It allows your phone to view/stream anything you have in its library. With port forwarding set up and a static IP (i use No-IP) you can set it to stream either via wifi within your network, or remotely via your data or wifi connection if not at home. The navigation is a bit clunky but it streams nicely.
PS3Media Server on your computer with UPNPlay on your phone. Works great!

I get what you're saying, you are trying to do so while home.
Wouldn't anything you use require internet? Lol whether wifi or mobile? Even a dlna manager would require internet.
I guess you are looking for a wireless Bluetooth transmitter. Not sure I can offer much help, sorry bud

DLNA doesn't require internet, just a network. Streaming from PC shouldn't require any internet connection,as long as you're on the same network, obviously.

How do i use DLNA with Atrix 2? The atrix 2 website says following, but there is no app called DLNA or Media Share in my phone !!
"The ATRIX 2 offers two applications to help you share your media with other DLNA devices:
Media Share: The Media Share app is a DLNA connection wizard that will guide you through the easy setup steps for connecting your phone to other DLNA devices. If you're new to DLNA devices and how they work, start here. Media Share makes using the DLNA app simpler.
DLNA: This app lets you expand the ways you can enjoy your photos and videos on a DLNA Certified HDTV or monitor, using your own Wi-Fi network. The DLNA app is what enables your ATRIX 2 to connect to other DLNA devices"
When u go into the my music app and press the button to bring up the menu there it is dlna servers

Just use ES Explorer, scan your PC IP, then type user name and password and you can access all of your partitions
I use UPnPlay for DLNA..since I am on Linux,I use Rygel on my linux desktop to add the folders to be visible in DLNA app.

[Q] Which apk allows streaming from tablet to TV (any website with no restriction)?

i've been using similar apps like Skifta or twonky beam to serve videos from my tablet to my DLNA smart TV.
one limitation i realized is that they either only stream LOCAL files (on tablet), or stream from selected websites only.
is there any app that allows true mirroring of the tablet screen to my TV? i.e. there should be no restriction in the website i want to stream from.
i'm using HP touchpad on the latest CM nightly build.
TIA!
anyone knows?
I would like to know but as long as I've searched I didn't find anything that would mirror ur phone screen to TV, maybe vlc (the way it's fine one computers)
As for streaming any website it may be possible but no app as of now

seeing how Airplay is a huge success on apple devices, i'm confused why android doesn't offer a similar solution. still on the lookout for an app that can mirror anything that i stream from a website, from tablet to TV.
Imediashare is great. Not sure if it can do any website though..

Thanks in Advance

Not via cables, but it might be possible via some wireless streaming stuff e.g. Twonky Beam - works with any DLNA compatible device, or over bluetooth, or via AirPlay (i.e. to an Apple TV box). Of course this all depends on you having a compatible box connected to your TV to stream to.
Also, I don't think it will stream whatever is on screen, I think it just works for videos.
^Yes it is only for videos

Reverse cast?

Would it be possible to cast whatever is on your tv to your phone? Looking at vr headgear and wondering if there is a way to play xbox on my tv, cast to my phone then split the image in half so i could play vr xbox one idea sounds simple but wondering if it would be possible. And sorry if it has been asked before or if I come across as a noob but simple question.

Unless you have 300Mbps Internet access for your phone and your Xbox, you'll be limited to playing it within 20 meters of your Xbox with a ping of 2 seconds. This is a terrible idea in real life, but theoretically you could get a video capture card to a pc to get your output from your xbox into a pc which could then broadcast the video to wherever you want.
I simply want to stay in the same room as my tv and stream whatever image or video is on my tv screen to my phone screen. A reverse chrome cast i guess. Then once the video stream is on my phone simply cut the screen in half and have both portions run the same stream. So you could place your phone in the Google cardboard and have vr or 3d of whatever is on the tv. Would you need a transmitter on the tv or Bluetooth maybe or thru wifi. Hope what I'm saying makes since

Found app trinus vr in app store. Install it and then install on your pc. Allows you to cast whatever is on your pc to your phone so you can view in vr on the Google cardboard. Windows 10 allows you to hook your pc up and stream xbox to your pc. So this app is doing exactly what i was looking for. Figure i would give a heads up to anyone interested.
