Hi,
Anyone using any android device connected to hdmi TV to stream wireless video/screen from S3 to TV
Any suggestions? What software is required on the Android device?

You could try it with BubbleUpnp.
I am using ES File Explorer to access Movies/Music from my D-Link NAS box on the local network, I haven't hooked up HDMI, and I have only tested a few movies but seems to work ok.

What audio codec? At a guess I would say it is DTS audio, which recently became unsupported in MX Player due to "licensing issues" (same thing occurred in Dice Player too). Try to get an older apk for the app and see whether audio works if it is DTS audio.
That would be the first thing I would look at. Make sure what ever your using (app) supports the audio format your trying to play. If it does not you can simply convert the file to something else. There are many programs out there to do it.

Most support streaming via dlna type protocol. Ffound an app that does screen mirroring MirrorOp but lags.
A hw/sw solution xbounds looks amazing but no mention of availability yet.

Im guessing nas is network attached storage.... I had the same issues going from my computer through dlna router to tv with those same type files.... it's because nothing had proper codecs... ended up installing divx codecs and allshare to fix it... don't know what your fix is, since its stored on external storage and i thought the s3 could play those files... but this search looks promising
Softmedia Player is what I used on the Samsung Vibrant for this purpose. I'll have the GS3 tonight and this will be one of the first things I'll be exploring. It's a bit overkill, but there is now an xbmc for android that I've tried on my wife's GS2. It works well and can use UPnP sources.

Softmedia Player is working well for me for UPnP. I also installed MX Video player as well and when Softmedia Player asks, I use MX to play the videos. MX uses hardware decoding where possible and otherwise reverts to software.
I am looking for peoples opinions on what the best media streaming app is that is capable of streaming music, movies, pics and all and of any stream content in HD quality?

So cool to see that 3 years ago the app I am using also worked for someone. I adore ArkMC cause it has all features I need. It is compatible with PS3, PS4, Xbox360, Xbox One, HD TVs, what is really important for me as I like to stream my music to my PS4 when having a party. Secondly, it supports Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound what not many streaming apps have. And finally, all media formats are ready to use without conversion.
Anyone successfully played a 720/1080p file over their network?
Ive tried all the players but just seems to stutter like crazy!
Used to use diceplayer on my HOX with the dts plugin and had no probs.
Anyone got a player/settings thats working?

VLC Direct
When you say playing over the network you mean accessing the share via dice or play stream via upnp?
I assume you mean the first. I too use dice with plugin and noticed indeed reltively frequent stuttering when acessing share from dice but using buble upnp all is fine against an xbmc server without any transcoding and dice so that is what I use and it is fine for me.
Also compared to gtab 7.7 less powerful HW I noticed wifi on note2 to be more sensible; I mean if I watch mkv covering fully the device with my palm I get problem. Of course cant really do that with the 7.7
So other than that all is quite fine on my side. I really do suspect though accessing cifs gives bad throughput somehow. I use omega 3 and cifs.ko copying stuff from a share is abnormally skow for me.

Use es file explorer and play through stock player.

Actually tried playing though the bsplayer app itself and its much improved although its struggling with 1080p
Will give your tips a try, thanks

Skifta is a good alternative.

Some more free options for streaming files from Android device to dlna-Tv, mediaplayer, etc.
Wondershare especially and Twonky Mobile (not Beam) almost have excellent video codec support. IMediaShare and UpnPlay good but only few videocodecs. For only mp3 2Player good and mentioned UpnPlay probably more audiocodecs but for certain mp3 and flac.Wondershare and Twonky M. certainly even more audiocodecs. Imediashare only mp3 .Wondershare (local media, refresh) ,UpnPlay and 2Player (both internal file browser) easiest finding media on your device. Others find media only in their own app-folders and Android a/v folders..
Tested with a Samsung Smart Tv and WDTVlive
Nb.
Nas/WDTV Live/Windows Shares (smb) free streaming to Android device (ability to add shares in app):
1.Video: DicePlayer, Archos Video (also codecpack!) and BsPlayer
2.Audio: ArmAmp, BsPlayer and Es File Manager. XenoAmp streams good but terrible UI.
Is it possible to use Chromecast on our GPro? I plan to use it to play video from MX PLayer and view it on TV.
Also, if it is possible, what are the things needed to set up the connection?
1. My GPro installed with MX player and Chromecast app
2. Chromecast, plugged to TV?
3. Wifi modem
4. TV with HDmi input
Am I missing anything else? Like a cable or something?

Chromecast works for pretty much any Android or iOS device and PCs. MX Player will not work unless there's something new I'm not aware of. Right now it only works for YouTube, Google Play content, Netflix, Hulu (I think) and Chrome browser on PC will cast anything you can play in the web browser. Pr0n and all that lol.
Just plug the Chromecast into your HDMI port connect the power and setup here. The chromecast app just enables chromecast specific functions in the apps mentioned above. Not sure when we'll be able to play our own content. They say eventually. We'll see. I love mine I have 2 one in my bedroom and one in the living room. It also comes with everything you need.
It works

Mine will not connect to it, never finds any thing. Works on one of my Nexus 7's

That's good to hear. Sounds pretty cool though. Unfortunately viewing own content is my main concern using the device. Finding a cable here is quite difficult. They are all MHL to HDMi.
