Hi, I wasn't too sure of where to post this, since it's not a device-specific question, but I hope you guys can help me out.
I need to setup a wireless security system that uses a CCD camera, but instead of having to buy a display monitor, I'm wondering if I can use an AV to HDMI/USB adapter to stream the video feed on my Nexus 7 with some sort of 3rd party video player app.
Anybody know if this can be done?

The device can't be used as a display like that, but there are several IP camera apps on the market if you want to go that route. Good luck!

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.

Is there any way to do a screencast on an Android device... in particular the Nexus 7? I'm trying to put together a video and I wanted a clip that showed the U.S. and it zoomed into a specific city. Problem is, on the computer Google Earth is somewhat choppy despite having nearly brand new hardware, and Google Maps just does an instant snap to that location. Google Maps on my N7 on the other hand works JUST AS I WOULD LIKE... but I'm not sure how to capture it?
Any idea?

Screencast captures your phone screen at high frame rates into a high quality MPEG4 video with audio. It can also take snapshots of your screen by holding the search key on your phone.

I want something like this, not to record a screencast, but to use as a way of having video out in lieu of not having hdmi. I have a pc hooked up to my hdmi display and was looking at the options. This app sounds like the best but doesn't work yet with tegra 2/3.
How fast is it with other devices? Like could a game be played at a smooth frame rate? Does it allow to stream live and not record a video?
Are there any other ways of doing this?
I've been searching for a while now with no luck. I record gameplay on my GNote with the afore mentioned app but seeing as the developer has all but vanished I'm guessing we won't be seeing Tetra support.
You'd almost think Nvidia would make an app to do this just so Tetra fans could make gameplay videos, thereby promoting their devices.

There are some demo videos of stuff coming... Nivdia has one showing a playbook to a TV that has the Miracast protocol
and ESR labs has the following
Hopefully soon...
Unless you already have a TV with it built in, you will need a some some sort dongle that has WiFi and s HDMI output. I just got a raspberry pi to be used with the ESR labs Android Transporter when it come available.

I just stumbled upon those videos yesterday. Very interesting stuff. I think I may grab a couple of raspberry pi's. I'm in Canada and I couldn't find it in stock right now. I wish they would build a cheap enclosure for it. I put a post on their website if they plan on making a linux client and not just for the pi. I would think it wouldn't take too much to make a generic version. I also noticed some hdmi outputs on tablets don't provide 1:1 mirroring. For ex, acer tablets cutoff the bottom menu. This I believe is for video playback, which makes sense, but I hope it's an option or in the spec of miracast to offer 1:1. I saw a TI demo of miracast as well, and they make mention of the display showing one thing and the tablet showing something different typical of normal wired hdmi outputs. Nvidia also has demo's of miracast as you linked, but I hope they make a windows client. It'll be a ways off before it's standard on TV's and it sounds like there will be dongle's available, but a lot of people have computers hooked up to their displays so it would be nice if there is a complete software solution as well.
Android Transporter for the Nexus7 and Raspberry PI
Hi all,
the video you showed in the one post is our old demo video.
Since yesterday we have a public preview. please see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/

No, it's not possible. you need root or a pc (actually the root way to do it does not work atm)
Android 4.2 is supposed to include native support for Miracast devices. So we just need the Miracast set top boxes.
Does anyone know if Miracast carries over Audio?
I just installed Screencast on my N7 with CM10.1 grouper nightly 12182012.
When I try to screen capture video in landscape or in portrait the audio saves properly, but the video is a static hodgepodge of TWRP Touch recovery in a purplish sepiatone
yo b1LL did you bother reading Screencast app description? doesnt support Nexus 7 nor any tegra 3 based devices
Here's one
There's another thread that has one, and it works for screencasting but it really only gets 1-2 fps. So if you're desperate:

Hey all,
I've been using CM for a while, but I always have a lingering regret of going back to stock for the sole purpose of having the TV app. The greatest thing about it was it had a simple TV favourite interface with remote controls and access to other media systems.
Has anyone discovered any apps similar to this? Meaning to take advantage of the IR blaster for the one and have a nice interface with cable TV.

I use the Highly Customizable remote (IR Blaster) called "smart remote" I'ts a little pricey but I believe its well worth it, you can set up anything and everything with it. I have my Denon receiver, BlueRay, Directv, Panasonic Viera TV, and my HD streaming box all connected to the app and if you set it up right you can usually turn all devices on with click of one button, including switching inputs on TV &/or receiver at the same time..here it is on the play market...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy~~~~~it's made for the HTC One, Hope this helps you!!!

I am using Smart Remote. Also a little pricey but it controls everything I own and even things like HVAC units. Nice interface and easy to set up.

Hi!
If you have an experience with UWP programming (i.e. you have Visual Studio installed and know how to write and debug UWP apps on C#), you're also own LG smart TV, and have time and ability to help people, please contact me via PM!
Thank you!
You better think a litle to my old question: can be mortscript ported?
Why do you think it's "better"? I don't need that mortscript and don't care about it at all.
All I need is to find incompatibility between my "Cast to" app and LG smart TV's
Lg is miracast capable. And i guess, your app is aircast.
My app is DLNA and Miracast capable and perfectly works with most of TV brands except LG. My goal is figure out why.
Its complicated... http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/product-help/CT20098023-1348676620463-file-sharing-dlna

No, it is not. By customer reports, app crashes right after (or before) displaying the very first picture on the LG smart TV. All you need is start solution under VS debugger, connect to TV, try to display first picture, get an exception and tell me what is going on. But the key point is LG TV, I can't buy TV set just for testing.
But looks like we have a lack of developers or LG TV's here (or both )
Good morning,
in the house I have three TVs Samsung, LG, Hisense.
I have three mobile phones Xiaomi mi 12 pro, Oneplus 10 pro, pixel 6 pro.
only from the pixel 6 pro, when I press on the toggle "screen mirroring" I can't find my TVs, while from the other phones I find them and I use them in mirroring quietly.
Where am I wrong? Or is it another Pixel limitation?
Thanks a lot to everyone.
You can only use Chromecast.
Mirror or screen sharing by MiraCast like you see on Samsung etc is not supported on the Pixel.
Miracast was removed from Android when Marshmallow was released, if your other phones have been able to do it then that is down to that manufacturer adding their own solution.
That's right but I always couldn't believe that nobody made a magisk/lsposed module to enable/ add this feature to pixel lineup since marshmallow..

No idea if this works Cast Enabler for Android 12+ [XPOSED]
Disregard. Only for volume.
All cast is great for casting files that are stored on your device give that a try
I hear a lot of great features that are coming out of wifi 7. I'm getting tired of having to deal with a Chromecast, Smart TV, Apple AirPlay to cast between devices. Wi-Fi 7 has enough bandwidth that you can use a Wifi direct protocol to share or stream 4k and 8k movies. I am hoping this is the case in the future instead of having to use a router as a middle man or a streaming device.
Can also use Samsung smart things on your pixel 6 pro I have that app and it works I also have all cast to

Yep, used those as well. The reality is, it needs to be a standard, intuitive, and easy. We have a CPU, a hardware acceleration with the GPU and video encoder/decoder chip that can do x264 and x265. Use the 320 MHz bandwidth and low latency tech in wifi 7 protocol to make things easier similar to WiDi. Right now they are all proprietary and it's ridiculous.
EDIT: I understand Miracast is making gains in the space. Time will tell if this is a good standard with wifi 7, but Chromecast is not the future IMHO and Google needs to take a better approach when it comes to casting.
