I don't know if anyone can help me but I figured I could ask. I have a LG BluRay DVD Home theater System that has DLNA ability that is hooked to my HD tv that is not. My home theater reciever is not currently hooked up to my wireless network but I see that the receiver does have a ethernet port in the back. I am mainly trying to connect my galaxy s3 to my tv to stream video etc. Does anyone know if I direct connect the DLNA capable home theater receiver to my wireless router, which will connect it to my wireless network, will I then be able to send info from my galaxy s3 to my theater system which will show up on my TV? Sorry for the noob question but i got to start somewhere.....Any information will help based on my situation of not having a DLNA capable TV lol
Unless i am wrong i dont think you can stream video from your device to the tv. IT has to be content loaded on y our device. Like a movie, song or picture.
Hulu and Netflix and anything you can watch on your device via streaming method will only display on your screen or if you have an MHL adapter.
By using the DLNA app it acts as a media server so you can use your tv/bluray device to brows certain media types on your phone and play them on your tv.
My PS3 is hooked up to my router via the RJ45 jack, and my phone is on the same network via WiFi. They will see each other.
As long as its the same network and the devices are DLNA compatible you should be able to get content off your phone and onto the TV.
Would I be able to connect my note 2 to a TV wirelessly to steam iplayer and films from Google?
Would I need a particular tv. Special adaptors etc...?

I think if you wanna mirror your phone onto the screen you need the Samsung all-share cast dongle..
You can also use a multi-media dock which uses HDMI input so nice 'n' HD
Your last option from what i can think of is passing the movies in to the phone or an SD Card and using the stock gallery app u can mirror it to the TV wirelessly. (Samsung TV's ONLY)
I can see my TV in the "Wireless Displays" menu and also the YouTube app offers to stream to the tv but it wont connect for some reason.
Anyone using their Samsung Smart TV as a wireless display for the N7 flo?
I read people are using push2tv devices such as the Netgear PTV3000 but doesn't the smart tv have that technology built in? I am able to stream video content to my tv over wifi with apps like BubbleUPnP.

I have a Note2 but with Paranoid android means it doesnt have any Samsung features but offers Miracast instead.
Unfortunally Allshare Cast is modifyed Miracast and i think thats the point (its not working for me too)
and unfortunally Miracast from Windows 8.1 does not work too.
I also flashed the stock Rom to get all Samsung features but strangely i get a disconnect even with real allshare Cast , i think i have to write the samsung support maybe the tv has some sort of mailfunction
Has anyone been successful in getting the DirecTV app to stream live TV to this tablet? When I use the Direct TV app it does not show me any channels that can be streamed. The tablet is connected to my DirecTV receiver because I can change channels and use other remote controls from the tablet but streaming is not available. Is this tablet just too new and not listed in the DIRECTV system as being compatible with streaming yet?

It's the same with me, everything works but live streaming. It must be an issue with the device being so new, I can stream Live TV via the Directv App just fine on my LG Optimus G Pro.
Edit-I found out why we can't stream live tv on our new Note 10.1's, they don't support streaming on Android tablets yet-
"Please note: On Demand video streaming is currently available on iPad. Coming soon to Android tablets."
http://www.directv.com/technology/mobile_apps/ipad
There's a difference between on demand streaming and live TV streaming. Take a look at the DirecTV app for Android tablets in the Play Store and the second sentence says "now you can watch live TV in the room with your home." There is a separate app for smartphones and for tablets for DirecTV.
I just got my Galaxy Note 2014 yesterday and haven't tried it yet. I was replacing a old Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 that I got from AT&T, and my old tablet streamed live TV just fine. It also worked fine streaming NFL Sunday Ticket. Just make sure that you installed the Directv Tablet version. I'll repost again once I give it a try.

Irrespective of what their website says, the text within the description of the DirecTV tablet app in the Google Play Store says, without any ambiguity, the tablet apps supports streaming live video. There are plenty of other customers with Android tablets that currently have live TV streaming. Their website is simply not accurate and not up to date.
I can stream live TV through my DirecTV receivers onto my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

Here's something I noticed. I have no idea if this means it's an app issue or a directv issue or both but...
I have a rooted galaxy note 2 and a stock note 2014. When I was initially setting up my note 2014, I used the Helium/Carbon backup app to selectively sync certain application from my note 2 to my note 2014. Mind you, this was before I found out directv has mobile phone version and a tablet specific version of the app.
At any rate, when I use the phone version on my tablet it would allow me to stream most channels live. However, when I uninstalled the phone version and installed the tablet version, live streaming become broken for all except 5 channels
My suggestion is to use the phone version on the tablet until directv makes the necessary update on their side allow live streaming on tablets.
Thougth I would provide some new information since it appears much has changed since the last post.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet is fully rooted. Both the DirectTV Live TV Streaming app and the GenieGo apps work great. I have the Wifi only version. Anywhere I can get a WifI connection I can watch stream either live or recorded shows.
My Galaxy Lite is a different story. I rooted it in order to change the opening/closing animations and to remove the startup/shutdown sounds. I used Titanuim Backup to "freeze" all the bloatware. GenieGo worked but Live Streaming did not. With Android 4.2.2 and the latest firmware update I am able to "freeze" all the bloatware from within the application manager in Android. I no longer needed Titanium Backup. After restoring a stock ROM and verifying that I could stream live and recorded shows, I started monkeying with the phone to see exactly what "broke" streaming. Turns out with Super SU installed, streaming was broken. Uninstalling Super SU magically allowed streaming to happen. So, I put in place a custom recovery image, booted to recovery mode, used the file explorer (which had root access) to remove the startup/shutdown sounds as well as replacing the startup/shutdown animation. After booting into the phone (which is NOT rooted at this point) I was able to shut off all the bloatware using the built in Android application manager. I now have no startup/shutdown sounds, custom startup/shutdown animations, all the bloatware is disabeled AND all the Directv apps work great, either through Wifi or 4G.
Just thought I would share.
(General question to choose between firestick and chromecast 2)
My main need is to be able to
1) stream/cast music and movies from both Android smartphone and Windows 10/Linux(Ubuntu) to the firestick or chromecast WITHOUT NEED OF ACTIVE INTERNET CONNECTION PREFERABLY . I have my music collection mainly in my android smartphone. i want to cast directly from music player/YouTube/soundcloud or through any other music app directly to firestick or chromecast and same for videos too with proper audio sync and no lag.
2) Able to screen mirror the smartphone/Windows 10/Linux(Ubuntu) to the firestick or chromecast without lags or frame rate drop or out of sync video.
3) To be able to connect Bluetooth headphones so i can listen to audio wirelessly through headphones and video on TV, where content is being played by firestick or chromecast through desktop or android smartphone.
4) Can connect external USB devices such as wirelss mouse,usb drive (can be accomplished on firestick with usb host otg as saw on a youtube video for ver.2 of firestick- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vSwYeJd5fI)
5) Able to use JioTV/JioCinema/HotStar by out of the box or by some mod or something.
i am confused between two.
Currently the amazon firestick is available on amazon for just 2900 with offers and Chromecast for just rs.1800 from flipkart with offers.
so about Rs.1000 price difference roughly.
What should i choose ?
Please reply ASAP as the sale ends on 16th may and so will be the cheap offers.
BUMP !
what about a miracast dongle? cheap and you can stream from win10 and android devices
but back to your question.
chromecast is not as good as a miracast dongle (both are just able to stream. chromecast you´ll need internet, miracast you won´t).
firetvstick should fit the most of your needs but only a few. you should be good with a fire tv box.

well, fire tv isn't avaialble in India and can you suggest some good miracast dongle ? How about some popular chinese android tv box on aliexpress ?
chromecast dosent have bluetooth AFAIK
go with fire stick as it is better or spend a little more for mi box 3 to get best of both
Fire TV has out of the box support for most streaming services and otherwise it supports Android TV and phone apps. You can use AirPin to get AirPlay support for audio and video. Other apps like AirScreen have options for Chromecast and Miracast but neither worked when I tried them out for a short while. However, the Fire Stick is grossly underpowered to run background services while ensuring a smooth interface. I imported the AFTV3 though Amazon only sells the Fire TV Stick locally. The Fire TV box was too expensive when imported and I needed 4K at 60 FPS with no gaming requirement.
Chromecast is good enough for mirroring from Chrome and casting apps but requires a working WiFi connection to operate. Moreover, it can be extremely laggy when mirroring high definition content depending on local WiFi network and the streaming device. Another thing to note is that content protected apps block any sort of mirroring and hence Chromecast might not work even when mirroring the entire Android device.
The best offline wireless solutions I had researched in the past that worked with almost all phones and Windows was the Screenbeam Mini 2 as it is Miracast and WiDi certified, but I suppose you will have to import that as well at a higher price.
