[Q] Video streaming over Wi-Fi

Hi,
Is there any device that let me stream Video or Mirroring over Wi-Fi from my TF101 like Allshare Cast Dongle from samsung? Some similiar device?

I'm not sure of your question exactly... Are you looking to receive video from another device (like Sling) or are you looking to send to another device (like a DLNA source or like AirPlay on Apple devices)?

Maybe you should use EMIT. It streams to the tablet quite nicely but not sure about projecting on HDMI.

[Q] noob note 10.1 screen mirroring question

HI
I recently got a galaxy note 10.1 wifi model and wanted to mirror the screen on my lg smart tv. I understand that both these devices are capable of mirroring but they don't seem to play nice together I contacted samsung customer support and they said look for a 3rd party app that might do it.
I have been doing exactly that since but all i can seem to find are apps that allow file sharing not live mirroring of the note 10.1's screen onto the tv. I understand that samsung have some sort of dongle that might allow it to work but i would prefer not to fork out another $100 for something that seems like it should just work without it. I would prefer to simply use an app that would allow me to connect it via the wifi. Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks

Allshare Cast dongle or hub is the only way to mirror afaik. I think some newer Samsung tv's might have Allshare built in but not sure about other brands.

Dongle:
samsung.com/se/consumer/mobil/mobil/mobiltillbehor/EAD-T10EDEGSTD?subsubtype=multimedia-and-general

Damn was hoping not to have to buy one of those. I thought with Alshare, dlna and WiFi direct a least one option would just do it. The tv has all those options except allshare it has LG smartshare I believe instead.
Is the Samsung dongle the only one that will work Belkin and HTC make one as well don't they?

I got samsung smart tv with all share cast too, and looking same as you for a way to mirror my screen to it through wifi... its not possible only images and video no screen mirror.
So I guess the the dongle is a must....

I thought that should work due to the tv and the tablet being the same brand and both having allshare cast. My problem is that my tv is an lg tv and the tablet is samsung

Unfortunately Sammy TVs right now do have ONLY AllShare PLAY not AllShare CAST !
Hope AllShare CAST will be added with the Smart Evolution Kit for Sammy TV by March 2013 though.
Right now no mirroring w/o Dongle ..........

One more question about screen mirroring and the need for allshare cast dongle. What exactly does the dongle do that can, t be done with an app? As I understand it with what little knowledge I have is that allshare is based on miracast and so is the dongle, LG's smartshare is based on the same they just both have their own skins overlaid onto miscast technology so you have to go out and spend more money on their hardware to make everything work? What I am wondering is why can't a general app be made that just does the screen mirroring o onto tv's if Both devices are miracast capable, dlna capable and wifidirect capable surely one of these options should allow screen mirroring on a tv without the need for a dongle That costs another $100 or so to purchase on top of the tablet just to get this function. I hope this all makes sense, if someone could explain all this so the dummies like me could understand it that would be awesome. Oh and there seems to be many options for screen mirroring with your pc why is this different?
Thanks

The only way i know of, if you have a capable android phone that you already have hdmi connection to tv, is to use mirrorop sender/reciver app, two apps, one on the note one on the phone, allows you to mirror one android to another vice versa. Ive not managed to get a working mhl/hdmi for my s3, so i dont know if there is a limitation to then hook up the phone via hdmi to tv, wouldnt mind a confirmation on that one my self
Pro
Ive mirrored my note to my s3, anything static it does ok, pics, browsr, pdf, slow/static games
5 minute trial, restart app to reset
Cons
Doesnt transmit sound [i guess the dongle trumps that]
Fast paced games have lag, specifically game controls
Picture quality options at the sake of speed
5 minute trial, restart app to reset

Ive heard of raspber pi project on this, but last time i checked it was for a nexus line and you needed custom firmware

Yeah I looked into Mirrorop but seen as I only want to mirror my galaxy note 10.1 onto a tv it's of no use to me. Funny thing is, is that the LG smart tv I have used to come with a mirror op receiver app p re installed but for some reason it was removed from the model in all countries except China. Sounds like money grabbing on LG's part if you ask me.

One suggestion if you decide to grab the Sammy dongle: register your note on the Samsung web page and you'll get a $50 coupon for the Samsung store. That's how I got mine. Cutting the price in half makes it a little easier to swallow and it does work well certainly glad I got mine.

That sounds alright just one thing is that valid for Australian customers? Also does anyone no which Aussie stores stock them? I went onto Samsung's au website and it seems to be greyed out so I don't no were they are stocked .
online I guess any one know who has the best price?

I've a further related noob question. I have owned my Note 10.1 for 4 days now and have found it great, but I would love to be able to mirror it's display. I actually want to project it (I'm a teacher), but have found a workaround with an iPad where I mirror the iPad to my laptop and display the laptop as normal. Is anything like this possible with the Note?

Hi, I am a teacher as well and am using the Note 10.1 in my classrooms.
I use the Allshare Cast dongle, connected to a HDMI-VGA converter, to the projector. Don't use the converters that don't have a separate power supply; the display will cut in and out because the dongle cannot supply enough current.
Alternatively, you can try using the Netgear push2tv device. The recent beta update enables compatibility with Allshare devices.
If you have rooted your Note 10.1, you need to triangle away to clear the flash counter.

Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if there are more than model of Allshare Cast? Prices seem very variable - Amazon go from £30 to £107! I haven't rooted my Note - I'm not really sure what the benefit is - although I seem to have read that it may allow me to access my email through the school proxy, which I can't do at the moment. Can you recommend a HDMI-VGA converter that works?

Do you guys get sound when you conect using the mirror cast not using the dongle I get picture and no sound

I bought new Samsung TV series 6, and it have bulid in Screen Mirroring but in menu options on my Note 10'1 from 2012 i dont have this options.
There is some one hack or addons to my tablet to get this options?

Miracast Query (WiDi adapter)

Hello,
I'm not too sure where to place this thread. However, here goes.
I'm looking for an adapter for my TV that supports Miracast + intel Wi-Di as my laptop supports it inherently.
Which of these three models support them?
Netgear PT1000 or PTVU1000 or PTV3000? I'm looking for the cheapest deal.
Kindly assist.

You can check out this one too, says it support both Miracast and Wi-Di(most recent) plus it comes with a usb dongle and software for Win 7/8 machines that are not Miracast/Wi-Di compatible.
http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=298#.URFh7KXTJYY
Can be had from Amazon for around $80.
http://www.amazon.com/ACTIONTEC-SBW...TF8&qid=1360093799&sr=8-1&keywords=screenbeam
I have tested this on a laptop with the usb dongle and it works. Screen res of the machine needs to be 1920x1080 for it to look good. There was some video lag when playing HD youtube in full screen. Have not tested Miracast/Wi-Di on it.
Looks like the Netgear stuff can be had cheaper but reviews on any of these devices are less than stellar including the Actiontec one.

The PTV3000 works perfectly (I've tested miracast with beta firmware) , and I've heard Widi also works. There's a thread in this forum called "Wireless Display Adapters (Miracast)" which has info about the ptv3000

Miracast with Samsung BD-F5900 / BD-FM59C bluray players

Hi
I just purchased the Samsung BD-FM59C bluray player from Costco for $120. The player supports AllShare Cast and Miracast.
I tired it out a display version at Costco (they hooked up the display to a tv and let me play with it). I went to the screen mirroring option and it said to connect my "Allshare Cast or Miracast device" and I was able to successfully mirror with my Nexus 4 (CM 10.1 Linaro nightly). Satisfied, I bought it.
I went home and updated the firmware (v1003 to v1007). Now it no longer mentions Miracast on the Screen Mirroring option and my Nexus 4 never connects.
Anyone have experience with mirroring on this model? Any other ROMs work better with Miracast? Also if you are interested in this player for mirroring, maybe hold off on updating the firmware.

Update: Stock rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III does not work either with Allshare Cast. It connects then quickly disconnects without mirroring. So it seems to be a bad update. Or I possibly have a lemon.
Does anyone have this model or the new Panasonic models (BDT230 AND BDT330) with Miracast? I'm looking for a decent bluray player with Miracast, DLNA, and Amazon Instant Video. So far, these players seem to be the only ones that do this at least at a reasonable price

We also just got the Samsung BD-F5900 bluray player. Although I did try to do mirroring with my Galaxy s3 before it self-updated (also from v1003 to v1007). Before the update it mentioned Miracast and after it did not. However, I haven't gotten it to work before or after the firmware update. I am speaking with Samsung now to get it resolved and they told me they would call me back in a day or two.
Can you go back to Costco and see what version they are running in the store? If it is working with the older version, you could reset your device back to the stock device and disable software updates form inside settings. Or, perhaps Costco would work with you on setting up your system mirroring with your phone, in their store?

I've been looking into it more. And contacting Samsung Support, with no resolution so far.
I'm assuming Costco was running v1003, since it was the version mines came out of the box. They just had the blu-ray sitting with the price tag and it wasn't connected to anything. I asked them to plug it into a TV and they did and they grabbed the remote for it. The blu-ray player at the store wasn't ever connected to the internet and I was able to Miracast with my Nexus 4. I would downgrade back to v1003, if I could, but I don't think the player would allow me to even if I could somehow find the firmware file on the internet.
The player at home, I updated immediately to v1007. And it no longer worked with my Nexus 4 (and removed reference to Miracast).
For Allshare Cast device (GS3), it looks like people are having issues with the Allshare Cast Hub dongle (that costs $100) and rooted devices, such as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089479. Since you could never use the mirroring, I wonder if it's because of rooted / flash counter status?

After more attempts, I was able to use Screen Mirroring with my Nexus 4 on the v1007 firmware. It took many connecting disconnecting some restarting but it finally connected and paired and I was able to start mirroring. Again this is on the CM 10.1 Linaro nightly, so it could be something related to the ROM making it difficult to start mirroring.
Ironically, still no luck mirroring with Allshare Cast on stock rooted Galaxy S III...possibly related to root status.

v1007 is ok?

It looks like it. It took many efforts to get it I tried again after, and it did not connect again smoothly, so it seems tempermental, at least for me. But it all in all, it does work with Miracast on Nexus 4...eventually. There is about 1-2 second delay in the mirroring, so fast-paced gaming is not ideal.

I just got the BDT-330 specifically for the Miracast feature. It does work, however it's not really ready for prime-time. DLNA works pretty well, though but not with the default Windows dlna server in Windows 7. I downloaded Serviio and it works really well.

Today t-mobile pushed an update for the Samsung S3, we now have Android 4.1.2 and allshare cast works as expected. My phone hasn't been rooted, so I've never messed with the flash counter status.
My blu-ray player also has the v1007 firmware. It connected on the first try this afternoon.

I have the same BD-FM59C player with 1008 firmware (before that it had 1007) and it NEVER worked with my stock Nexus 4. Not only that but the player itself (forget about miracast) sucks sucks sucks. I'm taking it back to costco. Sony is by far the best in similar low cost players

It looks like stock may not work on Nexus 4. Not sure if it's related to software or even TV, but I only got it to work CM 10.1 with the HDCP off option enabled. I'm running Paranoid Android on the Nexus 4 and it's doing what my GS3 did where it would connect then disconnect.
I tried fully stock GS3 and it did not work either but Kitzy said it works w latest GS3 update from T-Mobile.
Maybe the common problem with All share Cast and Miracast failing is HDCP related?
Also I did like Sony's player (I had the S590) for usability since it allowed more apps to use keyboard/mouse and had better navigation, but it also had a lot of problems with DLNA. This Samsung has its problems with being too Samsung centric (the remote only works with Samsung TV's and isn't universal!) and horrible navigation but it also has a lot more features. Such as good YouTube app (with YouTube Tv support from mobile), better web browser, miracast (which may or may not work) and better DLNA support. It's even better for DLNA by using bubbleUPNP and screen mirroring also works with Intel WiDi. So I think it's the better bang for the buck right now.

Question Miracast Driver

This is about a Moto G Stylus 2020, but honestly I don't think it matters for this question. When it comes to wireless casting, Motorola says "use a Chromecast" which is fine for the most part. But there are millions of existing devices & TVs that natively support the Miracast protocol without needing a Chromecast dongle.
Does anyone know of a 3rd party app or driver that supports Miracast on Android 11? I believe Samsung phones come with something like this.
I'm just shocked that my Moto phone doesn't support Miracast when my 4 year old Acer tablet with Android 8 can cast to damn near all TVs & devices that have a basic casting option. Feel like I'm missing something.

Isn't miracast an old and deprecated protocol?
Either way, just use any miracast apk which makes your phone the transmitter.

I think your right that they killed the "Miracast" name, but Wifi-Direct as a technology is still thriving as far as I can tell.
So what are the alternatives to Chromecast if you think Miracast & Wifi-Direct is dying? My rebuttle there would be all the TVs in my house & hotels I stay in that support Miracast. Those will be around for a long time.
