Was exclusively an HTC user for probably the last 10 years, but decided to change it up this year and went for the S8+ . HTC had came out with "HTC connect" which could connect to both airplay and dlna devices alike. It did it in a way where all of my phone's audio would play wirelessly through my receiver, sort of like a wireless aux cable, but at the same time including all of the benefits of Dlna.
What I'm ultimately trying to do is connect to my receiver and play music which my phone is streaming from services such as: YouTube, Spotify, Amazon music, etc. Whenever I connect to my receiver with my phone, it wants to only play files that are located in my phone, which is not what I want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a new Pioneer Elite receiver showing up soon and I also picked up the bluetooth adapter for it. What i want to do is be able to stream music from the TF to the receiver from outside (using my zone 2 outdoor speakers). Since the receiver is inside this would allow to play music from outside which would be ideal. However I cannot get any good info on what is really possible. I tried Pandora last night and got no option to stream? Will options show up once I make the bluetooth connection? Anyone who has paired multimedia devices to the TF please chime in and let me know how your experience was. Thanks!
so have a note2 and enjoying it... issue is getting media to my other devices. Currently I have an ipad1 sitting under my audio receiver connected via usb and it allows me to control spotify with my universal remote as if the receiver and ipad were one. I am thinking about buying a nexus 10 but I use my tabs for mostly media and ebooks. I want the sound and possible video (all streamed... spotify, netflix, google music, pandora) to somehow make it to my receiver and if it is video obviously make it to my tv. My receiver is a yamaha rx-373 (have a rx-473bl in the mail with networking abilities)
The solution I am looking at would preferably be something close to airplay or being able to connect my device through usb and control it with my universal remote or connect via hdmi but still charge my device. Ideal solution is being able to output everything over wifi to a receiver (maybe samsung allshare dongle) attached hdmi to my yamaha receiver. I just have no clue if that dongle will work with non samsung devices and if it will completely mirror my device.
Anyways this is what I am looking for and wasnt really trying to spend a bunch of money in trying things and paying return shipping on multiple things for what kind of knowledge probably is available here.
Hey guys,
I recently switched to an S6 and I like it very much.
but i got a question.
I have at home a denon AV receiver, without wifi, but connected over etherned cable to my router
With my htc one m7 it was enough to slide 3 fingers over the display to connect it to the receiver and sound frm youtube, deezer, whatever came through my sound system.
I don t care about video, but more the sound.
Somehow I dn t know how to do this with the s6 for youtube or deezer.
I read in some forums, found out about quick connect. The s6 is my first samsung phine. I can use quick connect and it connects to the denon but I can chose obly to play from the gallery or music app.... what I want is youtube,deezer etc. With htc it didn t care what app...
Even when I open youtuve or deezer and I click on share with quick connect, it will not play...it works only with the music/galery app from samsung... what do I wrong or what do I need to do so that it works?
Thanks
So after reading a bit more, I figured out that htc implemented 3 yrs ago sth called htc connect as alternative to airplay and it did its job... streaming spotify,youtube etc...
but if I m right, samsung has nth similar to this? I consider this very poorly...
This is almost unbelievable.
I want to simply open "Music" on my phone (where I have 32G of music stored), and have it play on my Android TV box device through my Home Theater, so that I can lounge with phone in hand, and change the track, etc.
In my car, I have an FM Transmitter (no Aux input on the radio) which connects to my phone via Bluetooth, and my music plays perfectly on my radio.
Why isn't there this basic solution for doing the same for:
Phone to Android TV Box
Phone to Phone
I can pair my phone to my TV Box, and even send files over Bluetooth, but they wont connect when I try in Settings, Bluetooth-- I suspect because no software is making the "gesture" from the TV Box to the phone (like I assume what happens in my car with the FM Transmitter).
Same thing for Phone to Phone..
Any free solution to what I want to achieve?

Have you tried connecting via the Wi-Fi Direct settings from your phone?

Never seen that before. Not sure what to do with that.
How do I utilize that?
It's under your advanced Wi-Fi settings. Once you get there you can search for connectable devices.

That might just work if the tv supports wifi direct.
well, I got it to connect to the "MBox" in Settings, Wifi, Wifi-Direct...
..but, what's unclear is what app(s) would I install/utilize to now stream audio from my phone to my "MBox"? (as an aside, the "Mbox" was already connected to my LAN via wired Ethernet, so now it's also direct connected via its' wireless to the phone)
I already tried to open Miracast on the "Mbox" but it says "Waiting for user to connect", or some such thing, and I can't see what I'd do on the phone to complete that.
The phone is running LS KitKat and there is a section in Settings, Display called "Cast Screen" but all that says is "No nearby devices were found"
?
Hello fellow XDA'ers,
My question is simple. Is there any way to sync/stream literally all my phone's playback to my PC ? I see all kinds of methods where audio/video files could be streamed from Phone to PC and some methods to stream audio from PC to Phone (like SoundWire), but I would like to be able to do the opposite.
Example Scenario: I listen music quite much via my PC, on a (some would consider) very high volume, chilling on my balcony, which prevents me from hearing my phones notification sounds & ringtone. I would like to be able to stream/sync those sounds to my PC so it plays the sounds through my speakers, connected to my PC.
I've been searching my *behinds* off on Google for this, also I looked (not thoroughly) through the forums here for any similar threads, but couldn't find one. I now depend on your wisdom as XDA'ers hehe.
Any kind of solution is welcome (via App, Server, Client whatever).
BTW: my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 , GT-I9505) is rooted (OmegaROM v42.1 - XXUHOF2) with Android 5.0.1
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Well the way i do it, which in my case i consider to be the easiest way is: if your PC has bluetooth you can sync it to your phone and every sound from your phone will come through your pc speakers. If your pc has no bluetooth you can buy a bluetooth dongle 4.0 for about $20. And if i want extra all i do is connect my pc to my 7.1 sorround sound system.
