HDMI out question

What exactly can I play with HDMI out? I have some .avi movies that I use arcMedia to play. If I just connect my HDMI and play it will it show up on my tv? Or does it have to be a specific format to play?

As of now, the only things you can output are gallery pictures (slideshow mode only), youtube, and any videos the stock app will play. so your avi's most likely wont play over hdmi.

Does anyone know if you can use the slingplayer app with the hdmi output?

Is anyone working on a fix for this?

Is it just me or did it seem like in the Sense2 'preview' given at the HTC show that someone linked earlier today HTC claimed you could use your TV as a screen for your phone? I believe the quote was something along the lines of, 'what shows up on your phone, shows up on the tv'. They didn't go into any further details, and they were talking about watching videos when they said it. However, if true video out capabilities are included in Sense2, that would be pretty bad ass. Something to keep an eye out for when it finally hits!

You can steam movies from this site (iphonemoviez.net/blog/) and use hdmi to watch on tv (wouldn't let me post full link but I'm sure you guys get it)

I don't think its full ui out yet.. Just wireless streaming of vid and pix...
I wonder though what they using to stream to the tv from the phone.. As well as what requirements the tv needs..

Thank you for this! I did not know this. Lotsa good stuff for my 2 year old here.

I know Cyanogen was working on full hdmi out awhile back.

That works too, thanks. Still wasn't to see that full HDMI developed though.

I use SPB TV app from android market. It is able to stream live ~100 inet channels to HDMI. Reviews are mixed though. And it costs 10 backs for android while free for iPhone, WTF. Not that it worth to pay for given so-so quality and the channel selection could have been better.

Allshare APK for CM10

Now, I know how much $h!t people give when you don't research, but I'd like to disclaim that I've looked at a lot of different posts (in xda) and other forums and am still at a loss to find allshare for the GS3.
I've tried the kyanAPPEND method, finding a stock rom and extracting it out of that, and a few other workarounds.
I'm still looking how to install the allshare framework and use it as it's intended.
Please help. Thank you.

What exactly do you want allshare for? There are 3rd party apps that do the same thing. Might I suggest imediashare or skifta.

I want to connect to my Samsung TV. It's fairly new and has allshare.

I have a Samsung TV as well. And have found that twonky video works a lot better and it let's you stream any video from almost all websites and your personal stuff

There you have it imediashare, skifty and twonky you'll find plenty of apps that replace allshare.

I personally use I media share paid version and I like how it ports to not just Samsung TVs but my apple TV. Not to mention it gets rid of that annoying allow popup.

Do any of these allow full mirroring? I think AllShare allows a full mirror image unless it is playing a video then the screen on the phone goes black to save battery.

That's a feature called AllShare Cast - different from the media sharing AllShare. There is no equivalent 3rd party option; it's a proprietary Samsung thing.
As of right now there is no way to use any of the AllShare components on non-TouchWiz ROMs... and it most certainly will never be possible.

Might I add you also have to buy the allshare cast dongle since as of yet there is no allshare cast compatible tv.

Sucks about AllShare. I have used it to connect to my computer files (samsung laptop) and i have a samsung Blu Ray player with wifi that worked with it.

Volume control?
Allshare allows control of your tvs volume as well, do these apps perform this function?
And does anyone actually know where to find allshare or are we all against the use of it? haha

Does anyone know of a similar app that will work with LG TVs?

It's not hard to find - take it from any stock ROM package. It just won't work on AOSP ROMs.
And yes, BubbleUPnP will (or at least should) control renderer (TV) volume.

I use my samsung galaxy tab to view content of my amdroid phone.. any app for this?

I like BubbleUpNP. Its on the play store and its free.
I use it with my BluRay player to stream content from my phone onto my TV. I can stream on the Xbox, PS3.
If you buy the license, I did, it lets you search through all the files on your phone and you can set up an internet server too, so you can stream to a device via the web.
Its pretty cool.

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803436 I have an epic4gtouch on cm10.1 that I'm about to try this on. I have tried all the other upnp/dlna apps and to me they are horrible and buggy even with the stock rom.. allshare has always worked great with my Samsung "non-smart"lcd tv with allshare (just has an ethernet input in the back) and my Samsung laptop running ps3media server. I hope the link helps you out, since only a couple people addressed your question and not tell you to try bubbleUpnp... Home dia is the closest decent one..

[Q] Using old EVO 4g to stream media to TV via HDMI?

I can not find this info anywhere. Most likely I can't do this. I would like to use my old EVO like this macbook>stream to EVO>HDMI cable>TV. If this can be done, can it be HD?

And this is why questions go in the Q&A forum.

Hello, I have a few dummy Evo 4gs. Not active on cell network
I want to use it to play YouTube videos on my big screen led with HDMI.
Can someone point me to a working ron that does HDMI output mirroring?
Ideally I would like a fully baked rom. Something I can flash and HDMI mirroring will work for YouTube playing.
Anyone got any recommendations?

Why would you stream from your macbook to your evo and then to the TV instead of doing the Macbook straight to the TV?? You can stream from a macbook straight to the tv OR from your evo straight to the TV but not both

I would also like to use my old EVO as a media center. I know XBMC is fairly android-friendly these days. Download and install an APK.
I went and bought a new micro-HDMI cable on Amazon so in a few days and I'll post back with my findings.
My EVO is currently running a CM7 nightly from November.

just use plex or xbmc to get things streaming to the phone
once it streams to the phone, all you need to do is download an app called hdmi win from the market, start hdmi win, start your plex/xbmc app, plug the phone into the tv, boom you're good
the audio is always a little funky though

I got my HDMI cable in and installed XBMC. Using the program HDMIWIN I am able to mirror the device to my TV. The settings allow me to output to the TV at 1280x720 and the TV confirms that it is receiving a 720P signal. In the settings of the XBMC app, I am not able to change the resolution at all from 800x400. The phone itself is stuck at it's native resolution so I don't know if it is actually sending a 720P picture along the wire.
I am thinking that for standard definition media, this would be a good use of a retired EVO but if you're looking for any HD goodness, you'll probably have to use a different device.

Xfinity Stream For Latest Shield 2017 no Root

Has anyone been able to find a version of xfinity streaming app that works with Shield 2017? I have tried a number of versions from the FireTV forum without any luck. Would really love to find a working version for the Shield being the best android streaming box, but no one seams to care about the xfinity app!

It should be a matter of time now...read that xfinity was about to release an app for Android TV, but that it would be limited to Sony TVs at first.
Once it is released for Sony, I am sure that properly working APKs will surface for any other Android TV devices.

Well...of course you have to be an xfinity customer to be able to use the app...
Is that what you mean by "Xfinity network"?
I am streaming Xfinity on my Samsung tab pro 10.1 and various PCs in the house...but I also have the STB for DVR purposes (which can be streamed all over my network). I do not have their modem/router as I own my own, and still works as expected. I can also stream from outside my home on my phone.

If anyone is still interest I having a partial working version. Channels work perfectly accept for on demand viewing.

I am very interested, can you share what APK you have working? I am tired of having to cast xfinity stream from my laptop, I want a native app.

I am also interested.

Ditto...need it on my nVidia Shield

Sorry to show up to the party so late. I have a version of the newer xfinity app. You can stream live tv and on-demand shows (obviously only channels you are subscribed to). It even has launcher support (meaning it will show up right on the homescreen). I was just bored and browsing, so if anyone is still interested I will share a link. Also, what I gathered, this doesn't require root, although my device is rooted so I cannot confirm that.

After setup, the main page that loads will be a "For you" page. Click the back button, it will load a page where you can select "Live" "On-Demand" and a couple other I can't remember. When trying to select a shoe through "On-Demand" I recommend using a mouse or mouse toggle. You can click and drag through the episodes list, so to select other episodes.

here ya go!

There isn't one for firetv... The ones from here will side load and work with mouse toggle or mouse. At the end of the threads there are ones that work. I have been using 5.1.5.014 with a mouse.

Oh wow, thanks. I really thought after googling the FireTV did already officially support it. It must have been talking about Fire Tablets instead, now that I look again.
I do already have that version side-loaded, but having to use the mouse is a deal breaker for me. I'll keep using the Roku until it comes officially I guess.
