I want to watch movies on my TV in the bedroom using the HDMI output of the phone and getting the movies wirelessly from my PC?
I already have the NHL adapter and the HDMI cable, so what would be the best solution for getting the movies to the phone?
p.s.
are there any advantages/disdavtanges of downloading the movies on the phone directly VS wirelessly getting them from the PC?

Install allshare on your computer and then use imediashare or similar dlna app to show it on your phone/tv.

theres an app, skifta, which does that.but for that your tv has to be dlna compatible.
Heres my setup. I have dlna server on my mac, TVMOBILI, where all my vids are. I open skifta, select it as source and play it on my dlna certified LG LW5600 TV.
Other options, I am not very familiar with. To play from MHL(HDMI), it mirrors the screen of your phone basically. So yes, technically, you could set up a dlna server on your pc, then use skifta to play it on your phone from pc, and then connect MHL so that the output gets mirrored on the TV. This solution is in case your TV is not DLNA certified.

So, what I said ;-P
Imediashare let's you select which device to show it on (ps3/dlna compatible tv/phone).
It also supports windows mediaplayer, so if you have that set up you don't need allshare.

oops, you just got it before me...anyways, its not skifta, its imediashare. my bad, i messed up the apps.
Yea, imediashare is pretty awesome.
I use TVersity to stream movies from my PC to my tablet, phone, and GTV. Works nicely, but you have to access the movie through the browser, which then opens it in whatever media player you want.

Personally, I'm a pretty big fan of Plex. Although I did already have everything set up on my media server so I suppose I'm a bit biased. Seemingly working fine via MHL to HDMI adapter. :]

i think best solution is skifta:
you only need a Se7en running pc(where you have all yours 'shared' multimedia stuff), your galaxy nexus and a wifi net.
Open skyfta on yous GN, select your pc as 'source' and your nexus as 'player', browse your movie and play it! (i suggest MX video player on Galaxy Nexus)
if your tv it's dnla certified, connect it to your wifi.... then from skyfta on nexus, select as 'player' your tv
Hello,
I have a pretty good setup on my Fire TV, but I am always trying to make something work. Anyways, I would really LOVE it if I could stream movies from my PC to FireTV through VLC. This is mostly for DVD's, while I have my DVD drive mapped through SMP it would be great if I could pop in a DVD and start streaming. A few easy options, of which I only tried one.
1: VLC Direct Streaming Pro Free, VLC Streamer Free, etc
This seemed to be the EASIEST option, but I get an error message saying sharing is not allowed on the FireTV. Any work around?
2: KMPlayer: Another option I haven't tried..however was wondering about DVD support and see if someone could try the app.
What are your thoughts?
Can Amazon Fire TV Stream any video to my TV? Such as my guitar lessons stored on my laptop? Thanks.
Can the Fire Stick TV Stream local 1080p MKV on Kodi app without any buffering issues? I'm thinking of getting one mainly for Kodi use?
It's going to depend on your wireless. My stick is about 25ft from my router, diagonally through one floor/ceiling, and the best I've measured with the Speedtest.net app is about 52Mbps, but my router is kind of flaky and the worst I've measured is 1-2Mbps.
If you know the stick will be very close to your router, I would go for it; if it's going to be a couple of rooms away and you are thinking about full bluray rips (20-40Mbps), I think you will see buffering problems.

I tried a 1080p mkv on my Fire TV Box with 1GB LAN and for me it sometimes doesn't play smoothly or while in the Movie it starts to get out of sync with Audio. When I pause the Movie or rewind/fast forward it might be in sync until the issue happens again when using Kodi.
This might depend on how the mkv is decoded? I tried one mkv with 1080p and a dts Audio Stream. The experience might be worse with Wifi but I guess it really depends on how the mkv is decoded. Maybe if it's with Stereo Audio, etc. then it would work smoothly?
On the other hand I don't have those issues with Netflix or Amazon Instant Video but I assume mkv needs a lot of encoding power (Fire TV hardware and network).

Do you wanna transfer MKV videos into XBMC? As to dealing with MKV videos, the best software I have used is Brorsoft MKV Converter, which is fully support MKV videos into common video formats for playing and editing. In addition, it can keep the subtitle for your MKV files if your MKV videos contain subtitle information. You can have a try. Good luck!
i have plex and xbmc installed but they can't see the subs which are on my local macbook drive...?
is there a way of getting subs acrss and access them? do i need to use an external player like vlc or something...
i store all my video files on my macbook which i access via xbmc or plex which finds it over the wifi etc
