Anyone have ideas for the best, cleanest way of displaying pictures and videos stored on Moto G on an Xbox 360 connected to a TV.
I've heard reports of this feature being integrated to some android phones via a button in the gallery. This doesn't seem to be showing up on the Moto G. Would be great. Suggestions?
Also, what apps integrate well between android and Xbox? Similar to how well the youtube app works between both platforms.
Be great to hear peoples' ideas.

I noticed in Gallery I could play videos and pictures on my TV, which was awesome because it was wireless. But how do I, if it's possible, just show the whole phone on the TV. Or if not the whole phone, apps like emulators.
You can guess my main goal would be to play the amazing n64oid on my bigscreen, but having the ability to steam anything to the tv would be amazing. Note: this is without the need of adapters/dongles. Since it works for gallery I assume there is a way to do it with the phone or other apps.
Thanks!
Edit: Apparently it's called Wifi Direct and it is not enabled on our phones, yet.
Hey all,
Before you point me at other threads, I've looked and this is something else.
Right now, I play video through my LG GPad 3 8.3. The video goes to my TV thanks to a cable that converts micro-USB to HDMI. As I live in France, where there's no Netflix (as yet), I'm running a proxy service to show me as in the UK (where there is Netflix). All hunky-dory.
The only blight on this happy scene is the fact that if I want to pause the video, change the volume, add subtitles and so on I need to get off the sofa to do so - what is this? The 1970s?!
What I'd really like is for a remote application on my Moto G to talk to Netflix on the G Pad and communicate my desires to play/pause and so on. Do you guys think that's even possible? To get an app on one device to talk to one on another like that? I don't even know if there's an Android API available for Netflix. Bear in mind, I'm *not* running Netflix from my PC to the TV, I know there are apps for that with servers running on the PC and so on.
Any ideas?

Hi getting a Roku box next week and I have a lot of movies and shows that I watch on my phone. I'm pretty sure that the Roku box supports DLNA streaming. In the past I have tried to use DLNA apps from my LG Volt to my Xbox 360 and the video was blurry and chopped up. I would like to know what the best App that can be used. Plus I need to know what I need to download on the Roku box and what I need to download on my android phone. All help is be appreciated. (Feedback will determine which Roku box I will need to buy)

Have a Moto G 2nd Gen dual SIM. I believe that it doesn't support HDMI out on its USB port so what way can I get stuff from Moto G to display on my Smart TV?
I'm talking videos mainly, taken on the phone, and also streaming from apps, websites etc.
On YouTube I can cast to my TV fine as there's a specific button, but what about other apps?
Thanks

The Chromecast app lets you broadcast whatever's on your screen, but it only works with certain phones. You could give that a try. I'd post the play store link but I'm still under 10 posts so I can't.
Check the Moto G FAQ - Miracast screen-mirroring is supported with build.prop edit.
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?
