Playing Google play movies on tv - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

So I've got an old (4years) Samsung TV. I can stream YouTube videos to it without issues. However I can not stream purchased content, either via the play app or YouTube app.
Is there a way to hard wire the xz to a hdmi port on the TV?

(Q) is there a way to stream video or video out?

For example using PlayOn. Is it possible to stream YouTube or netflix to another device? I know this phone doesn't have HDMI out, but is there a way to output video or a hack possibly? I know you can wireless stream your gallery... so there should be a way to stream YouTube netflix hulu ect.

No there are no ways of streaming media due to no hdmi port. I thought the same thing but I did my research on it and there is no way that you can do that. Unless its wireless.

[Q] AllShare to Panasonic TV

My Panasonic Plasma has DLNA in the Viera tools... is there any way to share my note screen onto the tv without an accessory for the Note?
Not possible at the moment. Hdmi adapter or allshare cast dongle still needed.

AllShare is Samsung's branding for everything related to media sharing. You can output media to any DLNA device from within the stock video and audio player. An icon with what looks like a TV in motion appears when a device is available. It's how I connect to my HTC dongle. You can mirror the Note with Samsung's dongle but it's not necessary just for DLNA media output.

I think you can, depening on what you want to share.
I have the latest Samsung ES8000 TV but I almost never use Allshare. Instead I use the iMediaShare app (paied version)on the Note and S3.
With iMediaShare I can show albums, videos, play music to the tv.
But what I use most is submitting movies from a DLNA-disk connected to my router. When, with iMediaShare on the Note, I choose a movie on the DLNA-disk I want to see. IMediaShare lists up DLNA-devices including Local Android(The Note) and I can choose where I want to view the movie. If I choose the TV the movie will play, without showing the picture on the screen on the Note. But I can control start/stop, wind/rewind and sound volume from the Note.
For some reason, unknown to me, playing movies on the TV plays more formats than using Allshare on the TV. Serveral times I have experienced that Allshare on the TV says it can't play the format. But with iMediaShare most of them works fine.
And the funny thing is that I can power off the Note after starting playing a movie. The movie still plays on the TV.
So for people with a DNLA-enabled tv and the Note I would highly recommend you to try out iMediaShare (unpaied) from Google Play,
PS. My TV has 5Ghz WIFI and I have no lag or buffering problems playing BR-movies form the DLNA.disk.

[Q] Video Streaming in TV from device Apps

Is there any way or app which i could use to stream videos from my device to TV without any cable? I know there are UPNP/DLNA apps which can do that but problem is using that.. TV uses its own video player to play the files and we dont get much of functionality. I'm looking any app which could use MX Player/VLC or any other Android player to control the video in TV. Any help?

Is Chromecast support broken?

Just got my U11 today, and I can't cast anything to my Sony 850D Android TV. It says can't connect to TV. Miracast works. Google play music and youtube, or anything with a cast button doesn't.
Anybody have a fix?
Edit
Casting audio to my sound bar works fine.
No problems on mine - first Gen chromecast. Can cast youtube n Netflix movies easily

Tested this morning. YouTube was fine. I think it's because I was trying to cast 4k video. The TV doesn't support casting 4k. So problem solved.
pornhub casting fine

I know that you can use wireless projection and basically cast the phone to the TV at least that way you can use things like Huawei music/spotify, in addition play your apps? whether that would be a fix?
