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.
Ok, here is what I want to be able to do:
Setup:
-Have a Revue googletv connected to my Denon receiver which is connected to the TV. Wife and me have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Denon is not networked, but am open to replacing the receiver (it is old, no HDMI switching etc.) with a networked one.
Question:
I want to be able to listen to pandora or Google Music app triggered from either of our SGN's playing through the living room speakers connected to my Denon receiver. I want to make it as simple as possible, so I don't want to power on my TV and then use Revue's Pandora or Google Music app. I want to be able to use the SGN phone's app. I know I can control the Revue with the Android app on my SGN, but without the TV being on, you can't see what's going on...
It would be great if google had airplay like functionality, so I wouldn't need to switch on TV, I can just goto the Pandora app (or Google Music) and select the Receiver to send it to and it would play it on the speakers connected to my receiver.
Any ideas?
So this is not possible then I guess?
Install Bubbleupnp on your phone's and the Revue. You will need the paid version. Set the Revue up as a renderer. Set your phones to use the Revue as a renderer. You won't need to turn the TV on, just pick the music on your phone and play through the Revue and Denon. You can even use your PC as your media server...
I am sitting at my desk with a Linux computer, the TV is mounted on the wall. I don't really need a tablet when at home so I would love to just plug it into the TV and use it as a video player (1080p local files), remote controlled from my laptop. The only VNC server that showed some promise, VMLite is not working yet http://www.vmlite.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=158&func=view&catid=20&id=11606 . Any ideas on how to do this? (I have a SlimPort adapter, yes.)

Hi,
I have Fire TV 2nd edition and Samsung Series D and Soundbar. The way it's connecting:
FireTV ----> HDMI ---> TV
TV ----> Optical Cable ----> SoundBar
As the soundbar doesn't have HDMI input, I must use the Optical cable. Seems even the source playing with DTS and/or Dolby, the TV is sending only 2 channels (stereo) to the soundbar. However when using application in the smart TV (which is not external), i'm getting 5.1. I read the manual of the TV and it seems it's by design:
When the receiver (i.e Home Theater) is set to On, you can hear sound
output from the TV’s Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV (air)
signal, the TV will send out 5.1 channel sound to the receiver. When the
source is a digital component such as a DVD player and it is connected to
the TV via HDMI, you will hear only 2 channel sound from the receiver.
I read a lot about it and it seems it's because EDID that Fire TV is sending to the TV and in case i'll be able to overidde the EDID, it'll work properly. I understand the Microsoft did something similar in Xbox console.
Any idea if it's possible to hack the EDID? Is there any software solution for this? I see that I can buy audio extractor and it'll solve my problem, however I prefer software solution.
Thanks.
Can i turn my oneplus 7t into tv remote control? If yes how to do it?
Remote as in how? IR blaster?
You need to buy an external USB C one.
Or you can do it through WiFi.... If you have a smart tv... Well if your tv supports it. For instance I have a Vizio TV. They have a remote control app on the play store.. Just connect the TV and the phone to your WiFi and boom.. works like a charm. Even gives you more options than the remote that comes with the TV.
