What I'm looking to do with my SGS3 is WIRELESSLY mirror the audio, and video of my phone to a HTPC/Mac. Apple via "Airplay"allows for this in iOS and it works BEAUTIFULLY using a client on the pc/mac like AirServer, or Reflection. I find it difficult to believe that this is not available on an Android platform. The problem is, searching for such an app almost always results in finding remote desktop apps n such. Watch a video using Airserver or Reflection, and you'll see what I'm looking to do. I've seen media player apps that'll send videos/audio, but not by mirroring the actual Android device. I know I've gotta be missing this somewhere.
There's an app called MirrorOp Sender that sends the video to a connected receiver/client, but it's VERY slow, and does not support the transmission of audio. MirrorOP Sender also requires the device to be rooted. Not like that's a huge deal to me, but perhaps to someone else.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Here's the video I think you might have been talking about. I was unawar that TeamViewer allowed for the control of a phone FROM a pc. I thought it was only to control a PC FROM a phone. Thanks! But it should be known, though this is a seriously cool option. Audio still does not transfer over the wifi, only two-way video communications.
And so the hunt continues for something like AirServer and Reflection on Android. Don't necessarily nee to control it from a pc/mac, but would really like a wireless audio/video presentation platform for Android.
Bringing this post back to life in hope someone has a new idea. Can someone please explain to me why the ability to mirror audio and video from Android to a PC/Mac isn't available yet? Thanks

I am looking for the same, Although the other way. I think there are bunch of apps to mirror your Display but audio is not possible due to some limitations in Android framework.

I too was looking for an app like this and honestly sat there and started to wonder why i actually needed it.. can you explain a senario where this make sense and why an app that beams audio/videois not a good enough solution. hell i am with you on having more options including a featuer like airplay mirror, but maybe untill such application exists i can suggest good enough work arounds because like you i spent MANY MANY hours trying to figure out how do do this mirror thing with no dice. but i did find nice workarounds..
Holy hell, finally I think we might have a solution. I haven't tried it yet, but clearly, we aren't the only ones in need of this feature.

Looks promising. SplashTop 2 works other way round but is too damn pricey.
Just reviving this thread because I am also looking for the same thing. That app posted in the last post, BQScreen, as far as I know doesn't differ from the one the OP stated. Both apps don't transmit any audio, they just mirror the screen. MirrorOp is kinda cool because you can control it both ways, you can also use your mouse to click buttons on your computer to control your phone. Keyboard also works so you can reply to all your whatsapp msgs from your computer but at the end of the day it doesnt transmit any audio.
I use a galaxy note 2 and have never had the need to do this before because both the tvs in my house that get the most use happen to have a computer in the same room and I have them set up to just send the computer's screen to the tv screen and use unified remote/xbmc remote to do whatever I want, thus ending the need for allshare cast/apple tv devices which in my opinion offer an inferior experience than a full fledged HTPC.
The problem is that I have a tv in a room in my house that is getting more and more use lately and it doesn't have any way of showing netflix or youtube or all the files I have in my media server, etc. Basicaly, no access to the internet and I bought the tv right before all the smartv craze started. I am now on the search of a way to mirror my phone's screen (or anyones) to that tv in order to give that tv some added value. Of course I would still need to have some kind of reciever in that tv to get it to work so I really don't know what I am searching for. In the end I will probably end up purchasing an allcast dongle and use it specificaly for that tv, that way all tv's in my house would have access to all the media in my house and the internet but if anyone here has another option, I am all ears.
I have google tv and youtube connects nicely, i'm not sure if that's what your looking for though. I just connect and it plays the video on my tv.
Reviving this i case the 4.3 framework has changed to allow this functionality. If someone with knowledge of such things can chime in that would be great!
Bumping this topic, years have gone by and still no solution?
mirror from koush is the closest thing ...
it's meant for airplay so you can just install airserver on your pc
Chromecast
Google Chromevast
Looking for the solution. AirServer works on Windows and promises Google Cast support but it looks like it only casts audio from Chrome desktop tab. Google Play Music app discovers the chromecast device but music doesn't start
V1.5.3
1. watch later order reverse
2. can change default open menu
3. add no repeat option
4. more languages support

2. Background playback, with notification to quick return to player
3. Floating window playback, with a small playlist after popup
4. Repeat playback, repeat playlist or repeat one video
5. Playlist manage, create new playlist, update video in the playlist
6. Video search and many video discovery options. Filter video by time, order by view count etc.

Now I upload APK file as attachment.
I am glad i have occassion for downloading this application, from attachement, as it was since beginning of xdadev, before android era.
Two things after quick test, as I see it:
- no 480p for 480p screens in quality options(-1, okk we all know, that rich people have htc one, or just feeble s4, and 480p suck(especially while used on 480p screens used by majority of poor people without s3 or h1)),
- no skinning(even light/dark), (-1, we all know, that we DO like charging devices' battery all the time, and we all do like white ffffff color as GUI at night, as we are Walmart consumers uisng device in bright light only, shout with me: NIGHTIME SUCK!).
Third, and forth thing:
+ works,
+ feels snappy.
So, when we could expect r2?

Hi, I add 480 support now. Only available on android 4.0+, YouTube only provide 480p in webm format, which means only can use software decoder. Please update the APK from attachment.

What's up,
So I've had my Tablet Z for just about a month and the only real complaint I have is the YouTube app video quality is pretty bad! What little setting adjustments there are don't do anything to help. It looks like my player is playing lo-res 480p video on an HD screen even when HD is highlighted as the play option.
Netflix, Sony Video player and inline/embedded videos all look great so I know it's specific to the YouTube player.
Hoping that the update that's due out this week will alleviate the problem, part of the update addresses the YouTube app. I didn't know that manufacturer's had their own versions of the Google core apps, learn something new everyday.
Anybody else?
Thanks.
They don't have their own version of the apps. They can't. Youtube, like many other apps, is closed source. The fix includes something in the file system related to YT, but not the app itself. I guess the update is related to videos most of the times stop working in the middle of it for no reason. Embed with a browser, and other apps, work just fine.

Check out the app called viral it solves the problem plus you can use it in floating mode or minimize it to play while screen is off when I started using viral it could go to 1080p which looks gorgeous on this device but for some reason I can only choose up to 720p but it's not tacky like it is on the official app

I think it runs at least 720p on supported videos... I think there is a hack to force use 1080p, not sure...
So I uninstalled the most recent update and the video quality dramatically improves! I'll stay with 4.5.17 until they have another major updates.I'll miss some of the cooler navigation features of the new version, but is rather have the picture quality back.
I'm surprised I'm there's only one this affected.

You're not the only one.... Same issues here, as well as on my dad's XTZ and my Nexus 5.... Seems like the new version of the app doesn't upscale from 720p to 1080p very nicely at all.....

Whats the difference between this app and "screen mirroing " of chromecast apk

Click to expand...

Differences are :
Chromecast mirroring is only one of the features of this app (you can also mirror to many other kind of target devices, broadcast to Internet, and record)
Official Chromecast mirroring gives better latency
It's works for some devices for which Chromecast mirroring is not possible with Google's app
You can choose to stream with internal audio OR microphone audio OR both
You can change many settings such framerate, bitrate, and resolution to tweak quality
Software encoding provides many live video effects
probably few other differences but I think I told you most important
VLC

Galaxy s5 audio issues

It might be because of the ROM you are using, but I am not sure.
I'll try to check if this is a problem related to this device, but it would be great to know if it is the same with Samsung's Lollipop ROM...
I can only get it to have Su access like 1 out of 8 times. But Su actually grants access evertime it just seems the app doesn't know. Then when it does work I can't get it to actually stream to twitch. It just says "Mirroring is paused" when I press play. Then if I press stop it automatically goes back to the opening screen giving me instructions for if i'm not rooted or Android 5.0.

2.- I select record on local file option.
3.- I start the recording.
-its recording well if i don't start the camera app on the desktop.
If I do that it crashes or doesn't save the video or saves but doesn't play the full video.
My version is 2.1.5 .

Hi Sloosh,
In the quest of helping you fix this problem , I will send all the details of the device . My device android version is 4.1.2 and its on a samsung camera s3 . For what i saw , I needed the code to run it on root that you guys provided(start service.sh) .I think the problem lands on the class you used for the recording on the application . Once it starts the screen recording and the camera app at the same time there could be a conflict on the class or the resources.
*Updated my app
I did all the process and at the end when i open the camera app it looks like it works well. When i see the video the video is just damaged , it doesn't play the full video and stops each 3 seconds . I have to play it again and again and the camera part doesn't show .
I would like to help you more but the Screen Stream app is driving me crazy . With all the bugs and the publicity it takes me like 5 minutes to run the application . If i want to use it again the next day, I have to run startservice.sh again.

Hi, I'm having issues with the audio, if I have it set to internal and enable it to play on my device as well it will echo really bad on the stream (using it to stream on Twitch). Its not so bad if I don't have it play on my device, but I really like to have it play on my phone as well when playing a game.

Camera uses a lot of things, it might also be an opengl issue because it uses opengl for video effects.
So if I understand well now the camera works well, but you have troubles with recording a good video file, is it correct ?
If so, can you please let me know the settings you are using ?
Have you tried to enable hardware encoding option ? It should be disabled by default with your device because it is running Android 4.1, this is a quite old Android version now and causes some troubles...

What do you mean by it will "echo really bad on the stream" ? Do you mean it cuts audio or produces scratches on the stream side ?

On the stream side, it sounds like its playing the audio twice, one is faint but you can for sure hear it. It almost sounds like it my phones microphone picking it up, but I do not have it set to mic/internal (mixed), I only have it set to Internal and then check the "keep on phone" option. If I do not have that option selected it works fine.
Has anyone been able to get PIP to work on this device? According to Sony (https://support.sonymobile.com/sg/xperiaxa2ultra/kb/8019307455ff6184015e92f63324005926/#gref) it should work out of box but it doesn't. At least not on mine.

It only works on apps like youtube or if you video call someone, you can use chrome while maintaining the video call. Same with youtube, you can watch a video while doing something else.
From my understanding, this feature is specific to Android Oreo 8.0 and higher, which means it should work on any device that has Android 8.0+

I wonder if you have tried it yourself because, as I said in the original post, it does not work. For example when I play a video in chrome and make it full screen and then hit the home button (these are Sony's instructions) the picture in picture doesn't happen. In case of YouTube it isn't supposed to happen anyway because it requires a premium subscription.

Yes I have tried it. It's especially useful during video calls, but it also works with youtube Vanced (which is basically hacked youtube.
It does indeed work I use it almost everyday in fact.
