Hello all,
i've searched around but couldn't find a definitive answer...
Sony recently released their new android phone called Aido, and it has a remoteplay feature to control PS3(not sure if its via blue tooth or wifi), does that mean that feature can be ported to other android powered devices???
from my understanding that should work, because PS3 alowes for blutooth remotes, so its just a matter of creating an appropriate app for android, correct?
i think its only matter of finding the app but i would like to know how 2
I couldn't find any apps for this. I would LOVE to be able to use it too. Sony Ericsson said there will be DNLA compatibility with the X10 soon, much like their Aido.
PS3 Media Server would be PERFECT as well on the Android. It encodes ANY video file on the fly and works perfectly. I stream BluRays wirelessly across my home with no effort at all.
Here's to hoping!
The handset was the Aino, it's not 'recently released' (it reached the market October of last year and is already all but discontinued) and it's not Android.
What app did you use for the phone?
Hi,
I am sorry if this topic previously has been discussed, butI have googled it for some time and haven't found any solutions.
I need to be abla to beam music from one android phone to another, i.e. use the phone as media renderer. I have two old android phones which I use only for sound in my bed room and living room. I would therefore want a way to control these phones from my primary phones. There are some ways to use them as media servera, etc., but I cant't the solution.
So, please help wouldn't this be possible? I guess a lot of people out there have old phones, which could be awesome to control from remote.

Nice idea!
Hi, this is actually a interesting idea! I have an old G1 and if it can be recognized as a renderer I
Could plug it to external speakers and beam music to it from my Desire.
Result : cheap wireless speakers system!
I'm sure that someone must have tried this before.
Any experience to share?
BUMP
no news on this?
Will Skifta work? (Its on the market)
Thanks for your answer, but Skifta works exactly as other Android streaming apps - the music on the tv/computer can be controlled, not the other way around. I want to remote control the music on android from remote (e.g. from another android device).
Have you tried twonkey media?
It should do the trick... need to install it on both phones, then set one up as the library and the other as the output.
No, I have already tried Twonky player, but it does not allow me to beam the music from on android phone to another. If have two phones, A and B, I want to be able to control the music player on B, which is connected to the hifi in the livingroom from phone A, which is in the kitchen. Twonky, and other options allows me to stream music from phone B to A, but I want to control the B player, which I am nowhere close to. Does that make sense? It has to work like Gmote, where it is possible to control music from the phone on the computer, but here I want to control the music on B instead of a computer.
Ah, I see. You have a phone connected to your stereo playing music. You want to be able to control that phone with another one wirelessly.
I think you are SOL... I haven't heard of anything like that. You may be able to cobble something together with Tasker and gtalk/sms messages (ie. send a message like "next song" to the other phone that Tasker picks up and performs the action).
I've been looking for this as well to repurpose my HTC Hero and have finally found it!
An app called ArcMC Media Server and Player (market link) can turn any phone into a DLNA receiver. You can then use your other phone as the server with Twonky or similar. I almost made an additional hardware purchase for this but now my old phone does it just as well.
The app looks new which might explain why no one has found it and the bad review average so far. Also it requires 2.2 which may be a limitation for some. Installing a custom rom can fix that though.
edit: sorry, I may be confused. I want my new phone "play to" my old phone. For that my old phone needed to be a receiver, which Twonky does not do. The media lives on and is controlled by my new phone, I just use my old phone to receive it and output it to the speakers.
BubbleUPnP
FYI
I just found this app, which looks promising...

I will install this on my HD2 that is connected to my outdoor speakers and I will then hopefully be abe to control the music from my Galaxy S2...

Here's one for ya... i went from an iphone 4 to an Atrix (woo hoo!) and would like to control my iphone music from my android. it is jail broken.
I know it's a long shot but figure'd it's the XDA forum, ya never know.
I can push YouTube videos from a phone that has Twonky Beam installed to a phone with ArkMC installed. I tried it with Samsung Infuse and Samsung Captivate.

Of the apps mentioned so far in this thread, BubbleUPNP is the one I found the most stable and most useful.
I'm using it to stream from my PC, from foobar with the uPNP plugin. Winamp is my preferred music player but foobar just works so smoothly as a control point for uPNP that there's not even a choice!

ArkMC now supports YouTube as well. It's possible to subscribe for YT channels and share them to DLNA/UPnP device in local network.
Android Renderer
+1 for Arkmc . Using it for almost 1 year as a renderer on my old HTC.
Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck
Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.
I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?

Hi Guys,
so i bought an Android TV a while ago (Sony Bravia KDL-50W805C) and im quite happy with it.
Now i would like to be using Skype, which unfortunately isnt officially supported. I installed the regular Skype APK manually and the App itself works very well. I then bought a UVC-compatible Webcam which doesnt seem to work properly with any app i tried on TV.
Using Skype, i can establish a connection and the webcam is turned on (can tell from the LED flashing) and the webcams microphone is also working. However, no image is coming. Im guessing its some access restriction. I dont see any technical reason why this would not work.
The Chipset of my TV is some Mediatek ... i can tell you better if this should be of importance. Maybe anyone here is able to help me out or point me in the right direction.
Thanks already!
Same issue here, but maby on something
Hey
I have the same issue as Idle_King, but i have begin to do some research. My tv is a sony bravia w80c and I use a logitech c920 as webcamera.
I installed/side loaded skype from my sony experia z3+ with Ez file explorer. Then i relized that the camera and mic dident work,
My first tought was that the webcam dident support otg, so i insertered my otg cable in my z3+ and connected the camera... Nothing happend
The otg camera app found nothing.
After a bit of investigation i found that is a function that need you to identify the usb device, so when I done that, it showd up in the app, so now I know that the camera works like a otg device
I sideloaded the same app to my bravia tv, and it is the same issue here, so i sideloaded an other app (easy otg checker). Maked a search for otg devices and it found my conected webcamera.
So i think that sony must have some sort of usb identify filter that denies the camera to start/connect. So where should i begin to search? Or is it someone that have a solution to this problem?

hi, i'm having the same problem here, did you solve it?
Hi. looking for the whole forum I came for someone to help me with the same problem but I see that nobody has been able to solve it. I have a samsung smart tv and I can not connect it with Skype. If there is someone who knows the solution, I ask you to help me please.

i am using cam of older bravia cam to new bravia (android) ...didnt work1
Don't know if it helps.
BUT
I successfully use a camera called Canyon CNR-WCAM513G1 (1.)
with WhatsApp on a userless Android X86 running on a VM in order to scan QR codes from WhatsAppDesktop
This VM is a device that has WhatsApp Android app installed and connected 24/7 to the internet, so I can use WhatsAppDesktop on all paired computers without messing around with my phone
Good that I do not use WhatsApp at all, maybe now I start using it, lets see. Side effect the picture that is transferred to the main camera of Android on the X86 is mirrored horizontally
Further I found this: The homepage of app Webeecam has the inofficial most complete compatibility list of webcams running on Android:

Is there any way to cast media from an app, specifically Google Play Music and YouTube, from a Nexus 6P to a Nexus 7 (2013), similar to how a Chromecast casts those apps?
I'm trying to get a tablet head unit install working elegantly, and casting GPM/YT from my or my passenger's phone while still being able to use Maps navigation natively on the tablet would be the most elegant solution I can think of. If anybody knows of a way to do this or something similar, let me know! I'm willing to pay for an existing app or to incentivize the development or release of a new one. Thanks
I have the same question. I've been searching everywhere for a similar solution with no luck. I want to cast youtube music from my android phone to a nexus 7 tablet on the headrests. (Not just screen mirroring, that creates a sound lag.) Did you ever find a solution?
In other words, how do turn my tablet into a youtube "sink" or receiver?
