I'm looking for an android app (or even a web interface) that will allow me to:
-stream live TV
-stream recorded TV
-stream videos
-view the TV guide
-manage TV recordings (set and stop recordings)
From windows media center.
I have searched a lot and found numerous apps to remote control wmc but not the features I'm looking for.
My current setup is a HTPC running windows 7 enterprise with a ceton infinitv 4 tuner. I have used orb in the past but orb does not work with the infinitv cable card.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have heard about remote potato and the remote media center app but from my research it does everything I want EXCEPT stream live TV.
Wow orb was an option for free i don't know about recording

Ya I liked orb. Any other options?
I don't think any android phone right now could render WMC recordings. I have WMC setup with a HDTV tuner and even my prevoius 1.8Ghz computer could not handle decoding.
I haven't found any uPnP servers that don't suck. uPnP in general to me just sucks.
Try WinTV Extend. Its now for android.

I have a tuner from them but have to pay still...

Thanks for the suggestion but I wanted an app that worked with windows media center. If it allows me to stream live TV I guess I could just use that app and then another to watch and schedule recordings on wmc
Check out the ipad version on youtube for a demo. Its made for wmc. Its doesn't seem bad for $10. If you have a dual tuner you can watch and record at the same time.

So I checked out the youtube demo but no where does it say it works with wmc. I also tried installing wintv on my htpc but it won't install since I do not have a hauppauge tuner. I only have a centon infinitv quad tuner. I'm going to assume wintv only works with their tuners.
Yep. The software interfaces only with their drivers. Tv tuner cards are super picky with drivers... be glad its not the nightmare linux is with mine

Oh trust me I know. I've tried setting up mythtv with my old tuner and it was horrible! There's no Linux drivers forvmy current tuner so I have no choice but to use windows. But honestly I love wmc and there are very few ms products I can say that about.
There used to be a plugin for WMC called webguide:

Support has expired (still works on XP or Vista with older version of wmc). Researching for alternatives has brought up this:

It should work via android browser. No live TV though :/
If you want live TV your going to need additional hardware (slingbox, VULKANO, hava, Broadway)
I have a similar htpc setup and was looking for the same thing. The hassle for live TV is making it way overrated for me. Streaming of recorded content seems like the best solution.
Sorry to bump an old thread. Any progress since 07/2011?
I've been using WMC + slingbox since 2009 for this.

It can only be done with 2 types of hardware:
Slingbox or hauppauge.
Otherwise you can just stream your recordings via plex or pogoplug. I am to busy to watch something live so plex works out best for me.
If your a sports fan then just buy one of those streaming season passes and split the bill with 5 people.

It does live TV over android with Remote Potato as well
This thread has been dead for many years. Now it is almost 2015.
I have a WMC on my PC and it has as a PCI turner. I get my programs free OTA and record to this PC. No cable box or dish.
How do I watch my record TV or live shows from my PC to my Android phone?
Any ideas?

I agree, you should have started a new thread, but I use Remote Potato on my HTPCs running off a Ceton InfiniTV ETH 6 network tuner. On my mobile, I use the Remote Media Center paid app to schedule and stream recordings. A bonus is that RMC has a built-in remote control screen that interfaces with Remote Potato's IR helper app...

Thank you very much! I didnt know this.
I got it working on my computer and can watch n record my show thru the webpage.
However thru the phone its a little problem. I can see my recorded show and TV grid, but I cant play it. Do I need to install a separate app for playing? The RMC app cant play movie?

You're welcome. You need a media player app, but if it's encrypted or DRM-protected content, you probably won't get it to play on anything but the device which recorded it.
I myself use MX Player. It's free.
i have a ps3. i used to stream movies saved on my desktop to my HD screen through ps3 using a program on the computer called ps3 media share.
Can i do the same using my galaxy note over wifi. I am asking both ways like working as a reciver and a server. can i make ps3 play movies on my note wirelessly.

i acctually found aVia. I managed to watch movies stored in comp on the nice note screen. it has problems with fullHD movies ones larger than 5Gb. but not a big deal i can live with it. i think mobile wifi connection is a bit slow and this is the reason.
2nd i tried to browse mobile content from ps3, ps3 found a device call note but cant see any files inside. i really care for the first more, but why not make it all work

I use eyeTV a small dongle that lets you receive a digital tv signal, but you are perhaps looking for a streaming solution.

Slingbox is what I use. It streams my dvr from my house to my phones/tablets. I can view live our recorded programs. Granted its not free, but once it is set up, it really is nice.

i use tv catchup
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
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
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..

Thought i would share my find i recently got goggle cardboard and found a app called trinus vr that let's you view your pc on your phone! Windows 10 let's you play xbox on your pc so as long as your in the same room using this app you can view your xbox thru cardboard!
http://trinusvr.com is the website or search in the playstore I'm not the creator or any how associated but thought this was freaking awesome and had to share my find.
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
wow...that is a great find! thank you for sharing.
Trinus-Xbox streaming has the limitation of not being able to do the head tracking, but I have been told there's a workaround using a Cronus Max adapter. This would convert mouse movements to right analog stick movements from a controller.
PS: I am the creator of Trinus
loxai, first off all great app! so xbox is not compatible with headtracking, but how about PC games? Alien Isolation for example? Thank you for creating such an awesome app.
Are there any tutorials on how to set this up using cronusmax for streaming Xbox via trinusvr?
