Hi all,
I have a Plasma tv Samsung PS50B850, with its wifi USB key. I'd like to stream my 720p video taken with SGS via DLNA to the 50' tv. Actually I can do it only through a wifi router. The problem is that the router doesn't support wifi/n but only b/g and the result is not good: video are not smooth and they keep on stopping/playing.
It would be better to connect SGS to tv wifi key directly, in order to use wifi n type connection, but I wasn't able to see the tv network on my SGS. I also tried with an ad hoc connection, but no way.
Is there someone with the same equipment that can help me?
Thx so much!
Just to report that dlna is a lot bette with Eclair. I just tested it with JM5 and even if I am with 108 Mbps LAN and g class for wifi (no n class), HD video are played smoothly, without skipping.

Has anyone tested out wireless tether with XBox 360 for streaming Netflix movies? I understand the ping is a tad slow for FPS games, but I am willing to ditch my home internet if I can still stream netflix via wifi tether. I am 3G area now and know I will lose my wifi connection on any incoming calls, but 4G should be here in the late fall.
Has anyone tested the following.
Wifi tether (4G/3G) to XBox 360 (Wifi B/G/N add on or standalone) games (Battlefield BC2) Playable? (Y/N)
Wifi tether (4G/3G) to XBox 360 (Wifi B/G/N add on or standalone) games (Netflix) Watchable? (Y/N) HD??
Thanks!!
I have used to connect Wii to the tether. Worked great, no lag when I was watching. But I haven't been able to connect ever since.

Is this with the latest and greatest version? Do you think Nintendo banned the connection?
Anyone else test this out? I dont have the wifi connector yet and want to see if shelling out $100 for the N adapter is required for same room tethering.
I have a GNex running 4.1, stock. We've recently (finally) bought an HD LED TV, however not one with internet connectivity. I shall add that my brother has an XBox 360 (should prove useful).
I want to be able to stream content from my phone onto the TV. Ideally I would like the phone with me and not connected physically to the TV (hence not keen on the MHL adapter). I'm hoping for something more elegant making use of the XBox. How can I do this?
Also we do not have a router at home (currently it's me and my bro at home and we both use USB dongles for out net on our laptops, each with a data cap). Can I set up some sort of ad-hoc network at home? Will this use up my internet data?
An elaborate answer / links to an elaborate answer would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rohit
iMediaShare will do the job, there is also a free version.
Thanks,
But if I set up an adhoc network from my laptop (which I'm assuming will work for my purpose), and I stream from phone to XBox, will I be using the internet? I.E. Am I streaming through the internet or is a sort of local connection created?
Thanks,
Rohit
I have purchased a NETGEAR PTV3000 (Push2TV) device.
Device: NETGEAR Push2TV
Firmware: v2.4.26
WiFi: 2.4 & 5GHz 300Mbps 802.11
Standards: Miracast Certified
Device: XPERIA M
Phone Model: C1905
Firmware: 15.1.C.2.8 (Android 4.1.2), 15.4.A.0.23 (Android 4.3)
NETGEAR PTV3000 provides miracast(wireless) connection to an HDMI audio/video device.
The PTV3000 consists of an HDMI port and a mini-USB power port.
There is a reset button and a Push2TV side button.
One can connect to the PTV3000 for firmware upgrades, but there is no further configuration (that I know of) beyond that.
I used the following test output devices:
• Sony Bravia HDTV with PTV3000 connected via a 4 port HDMI switch (Limited HDMI ports available on TV)
• Dell 24" Full-HD IPS monitor using a HDMI port
An XPERIA M (C1905) can pair and connect to the PTV3000 easily from the Settings -> Xperia menu
There is some lag when streaming 576i TV to a Full-HD IPS monitor, but still very watchable.
To be fair, the WiFi is doing 'double' the workload in this setup.
• Stream 576i TV to the phone via 5GHz 150Mbps WiFi.
• Output audio/video to the Full-HD Monitor, again via WiFi.
Audio is passed via Miracast and is only heard at the end HDMI display device.
Any display/audio settings are changed/managed on the XPERIA M.
Streaming a video or viewing a picture is very acceptable, but the Android UI can look a bit ragged due to the resizing of the 480x854 screen.
One VERY good thing about this whole setup is that I was able to connect to the Internet via WiFi(5GHz in my case) while at the same time having video/audio steamed to the output display.
I was able to add a USB Logitech Unifying adapter which supports a Keyboard and mouse.
This effectively gave me a mini PC setup with monitor,keyboard and mouse.
Using a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard would also allow a USB power adapter to be connected.
Watch out for excessive heat if power is connected while using Miracast as the phone will get very hot..
Overall I'm very happy with the display on the output monitor and the general functionality.
Wifi direct 5ghz?
Does anybody knows if i use wi fi direct with 5ghz , intead of 2.4 ghz, could it reduce the lag while playing fast games like need for speed?
I have a MOTO X, so the only way to see the phine screen on tv is wifi direct or miracast

Yes that's correct.
5GHz in close proximity 3-5m with no walls in the way, will give you a connection speed of 150Mbits on a 40MHz channel and real data throughput up to 109Mbits on an XPERIA M(C1905)
Mostly I observe a real data speed of ~90Mbits
5GHz uses a 40MHz channel width to achieve higher speeds.
2.4GHz only uses a 20MHz channel width and has a maximum connection speed of 72Mbits and a real data throughput of approx. 35Mbits using an XPERIA M(C1905)
So in summary
5GHz is faster at closer ranges.
2.4GHz gives you greater connection distances, but lower data throughput at closer distances.
That said, you have to consider the display is only working within the limits of the Miracast/WiFi-Direct implementation of the TV/device you're connecting to.
So even on 5GHz the WiFi-Direct implementation could be considerably gimp'd.
Many Miracast/WiFi-Direct implementations only support 2.4GHz (TVs etc..)
The Netgear PTV3000 struggles to provide 720p visuals to a TV/Monitor.
I don't see this as optimal in a fast response environment like gaming.
Hi, i was just wondering what kind of wifi speeds you guys have with your g pads?
I am trying to stream HD movies with a xbmc / yatse combination however the tablet keeps buffering.
If i have the tablet 1m from my router it cannot auto negotiate to more than 72mbit and if i do a test with jPerf on a computer en iPerf from markedet i cannot get more than 15 Mbit/s @ 1m and excelent signal (-20/-30dB)
If i use a dlink n port USB dongle from a laptop it gets 150Mbit/s
I have tested with 3 different routers with the same resultall setup for speed with n only, wmm, best channel and so on)
*D-link DIR-665
*Zyxel 300mbit n somthing
*Linksys EA6900
I also tried a simple download from my NAS and speedtest.net to ensure iPerf was correct.
Has anyone one experienced the same problem on CM11 or other roms?
Thanks
My fire tv running Kodi or SPMC has the strange behavior that playing movies from a SMB share (Apple time capsule) with wired connection is buffering, but not on WiFi.
I've already replaced the ethernet cable and used another port an the time capsule, but the problem is still the same.
Is it possible that the network stack on fire tv is bad on wired connections only?
Thanks!
