I'm trying to mirror my phone screen to my TV through a Sony BDPS5200 Blu-Ray player using Miracast. I'm having some issues. Here's a summary:
I can mirror fine using a Nexus 7 tablet.
When I turn on Quick Connect on my S6, it finds the Blu-ray player but when I try to connect I get an error: "Failed to turn on Smart View. Error occurred"
Various sites suggest modifying the build.prop file by adding the line "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable". When I do this, I successfully connect to the TV and mirror my phone screen. However, when I try to play protected content it doesn't work. For example, Google Play Movies says, "Premium content cannot be viewed because the device is not protected" (or something like that). Netflix will stream the audio and subtitles but no video. When I disconnect from the Blu-ray player I can watch protected content again (on the phone).
I'm running stock 6.0.1 rooted.
Any suggestions?
Still no progress on this. Some other sites suggest modifying the /system/etc/WFDConfig.Xml file (earlier models), but that file doesn't exist on my S6.

I haven't seen a thread on this yet so I decided to test it out last night. Here are the results (TV is a Sony 60KDLNX720):
From the TV:
1) Browsing and viewing video from the phone: worked as expected.
2) Browsing and viewing photos from the phone: No photos found.
3) Music: No music on phone, couldn't test.
From the Phone:
1) Browsing and playing video on the TV: Could not connect to TV. Could not find a way to make it work.
2) Browsing and displaying photos on the TV: Worked as expected, but pretty slow with 2.5 MB photos.
3) Music: No music on phone, couldn't test.
So the result is that it works, barely well enough. You can actually display both videos and photos on your TV, but you have to use the TV interface to view videos and the phone interface to display photos. Certainly not ideal and hopefully it can be patched or a work around found.
I've done DLNA to the same TV via my PS3 without any problems.
I haven't had a chance to test the MHL port as I don't have an adapter. But I've heard from other posts that it is mostly working (but may have audio issues).
I could add to this and say I was able to stream to my Logitech Revue Google TV.
has anyone been able to make this work on a Mac? I would like to stream video/photo from my phone to my screen. I tried twonky & serviio, was able to stream from Mac -> phone, but never the other around. it always says "Device not found".

Don't have a Mac, but iMediaShare [lite] is worth a try...
I noticed something after the latest update. Players like Dice-player and other media players can no longer stream media to my Kindle.
I have shows shared via Windows file share (SAMBA). Normally I could find these and play them on home home network via kindle. After Kindles latest update, I get the message "this media is not capable of streaming". Then the program starts to download the entire file to my kindle and THEN play it.
Its effectively neutered all media except local files or Amazon Instant video.
Has anyone noticed similar behavior?

Hi all, I'm new to the android world and I need a bit of help streaming video from my Galaxy S3 to my Sony Bravia KDL-46NX810
I was able to easily stream audio and pictures to the TV but when I tried video, the phone pops up with an error message stating "Change Player - Player is not available. Check the network status connected device." The TV is fully wireless and web enabled. Has netflix built in and all.
I've tried playing an MP4 and AVI file but nothing works. This was using the stock video player that comes with icecream sandwich.
I tried using iMediaShare as well but this pops up with the error - "The specified resource has a MIME-type which is not supported by the AVtransport service.
TV is connected wirelessly to the network.
If anyone has experience with this, I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you.
Samsung Galaxy S3 GTI9300T wont stream video to Sony Bravia
Hi Guys
I am currently trying to stream videos directly from Samsung galaxy S3 to my Sony Bravia KDL- 55HX800 which is connected to my router via Cat5 cable....
I have watched and read a few youtube video tutorials and forums and have no answers after 3 day of trial and error, i have downloaded the imediashare application on my phone but i get the following error:-
"the specified resources has a MIME-TYPE which is ot supported by the AVTransport service
I have also tried streaming without imediashare by pressing the icon located above the video i get the following error:-
"Player is not available.Check the network stats and connected device
I have also checked that file sharing is enabled (enabled file sharing via) <settings> <more settings> <nearby devices> enables
Does anyone have any fixes or howto's on getting my videos to stream from my portable device to my sony Bravia
heeeelllllllppppppppppppppppppppp
Hi Folks,
I have an Ubuntu Server running the PS3 Media Server (pms-linux) DLNA server.
I have it configured to stream audio/video files out to PS3, iPad (via AirPlayer or GoodPlayer apps). It also happily streamed to my Sony Xperia Arc S via the built in DLNA app there (which pushed the stream to MX Player).
Having moved to the Note2, I hoped to continue to use the functionality, and was happy to see the stock Music/Video players plus AllShare Player all have DLNA functionality, and, indeed, the server shows in the list of local servers.
However upon trying to connect to the server, I get various error messages on the phone. Tailing the logs, I have adjusted the Android.conf file so that it's selected when the Note2 connects, I've also had it so that the same file as the Xperia Arc S uses is selected. Both, however, to no avail. The phone continues to refuse to have anything to do with PS3 Media Server, I can't stream files from it & play them on the phone.
I'm going to go looking around Google Play for other DLNA capable apps, and couple those with MX Player, to see if I have any better luck, but it would be great to be able to ge the stock apps working.
Has anyone else had any luck with this? If so, could you post your .conf file?
Thanks!
Gav.
Skifta
Well... I tried the same thing. But I couldn't. The best option to stream to XMB is with Skifta. It works perfectly for me with videos, photos and music too.
ArkMC
I use ArkMC for near the same case
It has free version with dlna renderer.
Also tried Skifta - nice design but boring usability.

Not really a GPad specific question but i would like to try and use the GPad to stream mp3's from my computer to the TV.
I have had very limited success so far. Airstream gives me access to my computers files, twonky lets me beam my videos to my tv, but i cant seem to beam mp3's, they just play on the tablet. There is no option to send to the tv like with mp4's.
Also tried bubblepnp and air droid without success.
Anybody have it working, any better apps?

It might help if you told us what TV you have and what options it has. If you TV is DLNA then any of the upnp apps should let you play music to the TV. If your TV has Bluetooth you can send using that. If you have a chromecast you can cast from Google Play Music.
Sorry its a Panasonic and it has dlna but not bluetooth or miracast.
Like I first said suggested but did not perhaps make clear the problem is not so much sharing content, twonky gives me the option to beam videos but not mp3's. Its almost like the default player takes preference over all over software. I wonder if I can cancel any associations so that when I next select an mp3 I am asked which program to open it with and twonky will be in the list.

BubbleUpnp should do what you want. In the Devices section, select your TV as the renderer, and you should be able to stream content from your tablet or any DLNA server on your network to the TV.
