You cant stream netflix. Netflix uses sliverlight for the browser and thats not on any mobile phone. Netflix doesnt even offer a app so welcome to android your SOL.

DLNA

So ...
I know how to use dlna to stream videos pictures and music to play on my tv and I'm not interested in that
WHAT I DO WANT TO KNOW.
Is there a way to stream my phones actual content to my tv over DLNA ? Like I want to be able to come home, switch on dlna , and see my phone's homescreen on my tv and then open up a video game like Final Fantasy 7 and play it. All streamed to my tv of course.
In my opinion that is what would make DLNA awesome.
Everything I search just mentions how to stream my phones content to my tv ...I want to actually mirror my phone.
And don't mention the mhl adapter I have that and it is a hassle ....

Slimport & Play Movies

Hi
If I use play movies and a slimport adapter them movie is only played on the TV in full screen. No letterboxing or shrinking etc.
If I use MX Player then the image is compressed.
Is there anyway around this without rooting ?
Can Play Movies be used to play local my movies from the inbuilt memory on the TV in full screen ?
When I've tried it opens my default movie player and I have the letterboxing / compression.
Thanks

Thanks I was hoping to use the slimport adapter as this works well but changes the resolution.
In Play Movies the resolution outputted via the slimport to the TV is fine.

There's no way to adjust the Android mirrored resolution without root.
Play Movies handles it buy handling the second display as a seperate workspace rather than mirror.
Other movie apps can make use of this feature, but the developers need to build in the support. Secondary display management has been available to developers since Jellybean 4.2: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.2.html#SecondaryDisplays Root isn't needed to use this feature, but as I said, developers need to code for secondary displays. Otherwise you can only mirror the app, which is a function of the OS. Unfortunately, the only way to manipulate the OS resolution is with root.

Sort of off topic, but you seem knowledgeable about Slimport: can any app be mirrored? thinking of grabbing an adapter just for Nexus 7 + Ps3 controller emulation to the TV.
Thanks!

Yes, everything is mirrored.

[Q] live streaming sports apps

I've read that android doesn't support HLS streams and yet both the MLB & NBA apps on the firetv suggest that they support DVR type functions during live games. Can another confirm if this is the case? And, if it is the case does anyone know how MLB & NBA are making this work?
Thanks.

my guess RTMP + RTSP or even html 5

NBA game time (with league pass) does not allow seeking on the firetv for live games. Plus, it doesn't take up the whole screen, with black borders all around. Terrible. But there's no nba for chromecast

Wow Ziddey, their tech support bare face lied to me. Thanks for the update. I sure hope Google addresses this soon.

Sorry, I assumed you were in the US. International league pass supports Chromecast now

Ziddey I am in the US. not sure what relevance that is though. And I'm hoping to see HLS work so I can use my FireTV, not a chomecast.

LiveTV and PopcornTime Alternative

Just found out some apps that I didn't know about, so I will share because they work perfect on the Fire TV.
First it's LiveTV from various channels live Fox, Showtime etc. Go to Mobdro.com website and grab the apk. Play around with it most channels are 480p but it's free. Works inside and outside the US.
Second is CartoonHd which is like Showbox or PopcornTime but is limited. Most movies and cartoons here are 720p and 1080p. Download the apk at CartoonHdapk.com
Hope these apps help. If you have more movie or TV apps that you can share please let me know.
If links don't show up, check the url on the screenshots posted.
Both apps work with the stock remote.

Mobdro has been around for a while. Its basically just filmon, but the only good thing about it is that it has all the UK channels that are missing/geoblocked from all the other filmon apps. To get the UK channels on filmon you have to have a subscription to UK TV or satalite service, but mobdro has them for free. They can be found all over the internet too, but its always good to have an app.

Good find! And I was surprised to see it works with the stock remote (takes some getting use to) but I prefer it over needing to use a mouse. Thanks!

Not really similar, but if you're a sports fan, "World Sport Streams" is a great app for streaming HD sports channels. The links are auto updated. I have actually had channels stop and 10 seconds later a new link would be posted, so its a great app. You have to install MX Player and XMTV Player, cause some streams work with MX and some work with XMTV. It says to install MX and OXY players, but I think they stopped using OXY Player for their streams and switched to XMTV Player, but haven't got around to changing what it says on the app. It has a few TV channels too that are not sports related, all the sky movie channels.

Does not work with the fire tv. It shows sideways for me on half the screen

it works. however, currently need a mouse to fullscreen the video, the remote works everywhere else in the app. i have already requested that they fix in a future update, as well as show more titles on the selection screen., more should do the same, since it is new and in active development it will likely get fixed, the more of us that ask should also help.
