I have the vizio co-star, (Google tv) and was watching a YouTube video on my phone and saw a weird button. I pressed it, and bam, the video started playing on my tv. I then found there are apps to control the co-star with my phone as a remote. Anyone else have Google tv? Is there anything else you can stream to it? I tried to share my own videos I recorded on my phone, but can't get it to stream. Amy other cool things you can do with it?

Oh man i would love to be able to stream youtube videos to my tv or my parents' home theater. Right now i can only do it with audio/pics/video that i play through the stock music player or gallery.
Nothing on 3rd party apps like youtube, poweramp or pandora

I have the Sony Internet Player. Love it. I just wish there was more development for it.

Your probably using DLNA media share feature..
I can do it directly to my TV or to my parents home theater system
Its a great feature, also works for videos and pictures. Unfortunately only on stock apps...which sucks, as the stock music player lags horribly when you have so many songs as I do.

I tried using this on my ps3 and couldnt get it to work.. imma try it again..
It would be cool if google music added this feature since thats the music app I use now..

So I watching espn on my xbox and going through the pictures on my phone. There was a button at the top of the screen that said "change player" that I had never seen before, so I hit it. Boom. All of a sudden my pictures were on my t.v. I tried it with some videos and they played smoothly too. Audio and video. Anyone else try this before or even know it was a feature?

Welcome to the note! I'm pretty sure that's allshare, but I've never used it.

Yup. I found this when i had the S3. I download movies to my phone instead of trying to use the Hub, never works rooted anyways. You can stream thru a PS3 but theres a lil more work involved with settings and what not. Love the feature. Enjoy!

I'm glad I wasn't watching any porn when I discovered it. my 4 year old daughter was watching a movie on my xbox and I was looking at some videos I shot that day, saw the button and of course pressed it and boom there it was on my tv hehe. I was like oh that is cool. And my wife goes, you just wanted to show that off! But I really didn't know haha.

It's basic DLNA capability built into pretty every phone now. Different companies like calling it different things. Microsoft calls it Play-to for example.
I've been using it with my receivers for years now.
The only problem I have is the Note has issued controlling playback on other devices (play and pause don't work properly).

A few months ago, Amazon had the app iMediaShare for free and it has quickly become one of my favorite apps. It will find all available devices that your phone can stream to. In fact, I only have an xbox hooked up to my projector. It is a media extender for my htpc and then I just download movies to my phone and play them from the xbox through dlna.
I was sitting in the bedroom last night watching the game and all of a sudden a prompt came up that said something about media device. I clicked ok and a picture of my daughter was on the screen. My fiancee came into the room with her S3 and was responsible for what was going on. Nothing additional is added for this to work with her device. Why didn't HTC add something as this to there Flagship device?

Anyone know of a way to accomplish the same task without the HTC media device?

I have used an app called "AllCast" from the play store to display photos & videos located on your phone on our Samsung smart TV.

Thanks. Tried it, choppy on videos. iMediashare works great. Found it on the play store.

Chrome cast for $35 is the universal fix. Portable and works on any HDMI tv

They probably didn't add it because they don't make TVs, which is why they have the media device

htc one can send pictures, videos and music to smart tv's. if your fiancee did it with her s3, you can probably do it to.
first, your tv and your phone have to be on the same network, so you can't use 4g on your phone. connect your phone to the wi-fi router that your tv is connected to.
second, open your gallery, click on a picture or video you want to show on your tv and click on a little "play" icon in top right corner of your phone. it will search for devices and if your tv is compatible it will be shown there. click on it and voila you can play your pictures or videos on your tv. you can do the same thing in music player.
also, depending on your rom, you can accomplish the same thing by sliding three fingers up on your screen.
note: I've noticed that it doesn't work for pictures or videos that are not on my device e.g. facebook pics and such. also my videos are choppy, but it could be my tv being not fully compatible.
Just wondering if anyone else experiences pauses/jitters while watching videos from the Samsung hub on their Video player? I watched two movies now (42 and Despicable Me 2) and both would slightly pause or jitter while watching the movie. Happened maybe a dozen or so times throughout the movie. Is this just the video player sucking or is this pretty common with tablets? Thanks
Use moboplayer

I used to use moboplayer but i find MX Player the best.

This happens to me everytime I watch a movie. I would think , with the good specs of this tablet, that I could watch an entire movie without those hiccups..... I'm looking forward to root, debloat, and try some custom roms, but i am in no hurry to do it quite yet.

Ok guys I've been searching for this answer for a long time to no avail. Hopefully someone can help.
I use miracast a lot to watch movies on my big screen. The LG video app has a function called dual play which allows the movie I'm watching to play on my tv while i can still do other things on my phone like surf xda without interrupting the movie playing. Does anyone know of any other video app that has this functionality i can use on aosp roms????
Guess not lol
