Hi, was wondering if its possible to stream what appears on the device's screen to a tv through wifi. I mean the same way you can use a MHL video cable. I got a dlna tv and I can stream video and music, but I would like to stream what appears on the screen cause I would like to use my workout app through tv's screen instead of sgs2's screen.

I think there is a Samsung app for some Samsung TVs.
Unfortunately, I do not know a dlna streaming app which will connect the SGS2 to any dnla tv via wifi.
If you find a solution, let me know (via PM).
You should have a pre-installed app called AllShare on your phone that lets you stream to any compatable device from your phone using wifi.But must be compatable obviously.

My Desktop PC has a TV car in it and I record and watch shows through it, at the moment I can stream the recorded TV shows and other videos to my Nexus 10 using ES File Explorer.
However I am curious to find out if there is a way of streaming the live TV as it plays on my Desktop PC, over the wi-fi to my Nexus 10?
I know VLC player has some streaming capabilities with TV cards.. don't know how effective this will be?
Is their an easier way, other programs designed for this?
I do use TV Catchup app on my tablet to watch live TV sometimes but I would like a solution that is just utilizing the wi-fi and not the internet connection!
Cheers.

I would think a media extender app would be more useful. Like the how the xbox 360 app works. That would take care of the storage issue and the copy protection. Anyone know of one or a reason that wouldn't work?
1. Remote Media Center App + Remote Potato: Have not tried it and it may not be compatible with jellybean 4.2 according to the reviews.

2. XBMC will connect to hdhomerun tuners but you will need to provide a file with a list of channels for your particular cable provider.

Xbmc can connect to various backend tv servers (android app are still beta), like mediaportal tv server, and you don't need any additional files provided that you setup tv server right. Other option are using mediaportal and ampdroid app, but you have to setup mediaextender program in addition, on pc.

Hello Community!
I use video-streaming via AllShare to my Samsung TV. It works just great. Atm i am using the AllShare Cast Dongle by Samsung.
The problem is while streaming i can't use my mobile because the videoplayer for example has to be in the foreground. As soon as I switch to another program like Taptu the video stops streaming.
Is there a possibility to use video-streaming in the background just as the musicplayer does? Because while streaming music I can use my mobile as I want.
Thanks for any help.
MX Player supports Background Play for videos. But for audio only :/
Nope there isn't as far as I know. I also got the Dongle and it mirrors the screen 1:1.
Maybe it would work if you pop out the video and use it as overlay, but not sure.

Thank you. Tried this alrdy but this feature isn't available whole streaming. This feature would be just a great thing.
AllShare Cast is for mirroring your phone screen so use it for playing games or browsing internet.....
AllShare Play is for streaming audio/video/pictures to your TV. Phone can be used as normal in the meantime.

Yeah, thank you, but AllShare Play is an online service. I have to register an online storage and a PC first. That's not what I want.
And I don't want to share my movies with dropbox or Samsung. Or did I totally misunderstood something?

I think you understood right. The Dongle supports only AllShare Cast and not AllShare Play, hence it won't work that way anyway if I am not wrong.

From your post I understand that whilst streaming video to tv I can use my phone/tablet as normal.
I have tried this numerous times but as soon as i try to switch from allshare play it closes.
Could you explain how to get this feature working.
I am using samsung galaxy note and samsung galaxy tab 2 7inch, both have the same issue.
Thanks

Its not screen mirroring he's talking about. From what he explains from he's post he can only watch movies, listen to music and watch pictures from sony's apps.. What that explains to me is that he's utilizing the throw function, not screen mirroring witch is making any DLNA certified device into a network player.
Screen mirroring is basicly the same as connecting the tablet to a monitor with HDMI. Showing a mirror image from the tablet (Hence the name "Screen Mirroring") except it sends the signal through the wireless network and to the tv instead.
I can do the same as the OP can through dlna (throw fuction), but screen mirroring is, for me, only viable through a MHL adapter since my tv is an LG tv.
But in case you need to know how I use throw, then here's how I do it. (Its quite easy):
Under settings, got into Xperia.
Tap throw settings.
Tap Throw to choose your desired output (Ie. TV, PC etc. Must be DLNA compatible)
Tap "Add new device"
Tap ok and wait for the device to search your network and lookup your desired device.
Choose your device from the list.
Once the device is added you can tap throw again to make it active.
Enjoy your videos etc on your tv.
Once you have set this up you can enable or disable throw whenever you want from within the apps (Album, Movies, Walkman)
I'm sure everyone is somewhat familiar with Samsung's AllShare Cast dongle that's used to wirelessly "cast" media from a Samsung device(your Note 3) to the AllShare Cast hardware dongle/device attached to any compatible TV... What I'm curious about is does anyone have experience with any of the other hardware devices used for screen mirroring or "casting" directly from their device to an attached dongle or TV? In your opinion, what's the BEST out there? I've already got a Chromecast and it works well for what it's supposed to do...it streams NetFlix, Youtube, Hulu Plus, Google Play Music, Google Play Videos, but it DOESN'T stream directly from a mobile device....YET. So it doesn't fully meet my needs right now. I know the Roku is an option, but I was just wanting your opinions on any device you prefer.
Thanks guys!
I recently got the Chromecast and wish it did everything, but only time will tell.
This is probably in the minority, but I use my server/htpc with XBMC to play everything else. XMBC allows DLNA devices, so I can stream local content on my phone to the computer. I also use it to stream some other content. For example, I use Anime Plus app to watch some anime. It gives me the option to use external players, because of this I choose the default Samsung player and then click the AllShare icon to send it to my computer. If there are other apps out there that allows you to use the default video player, then you should be able to do the same.
For music, I use Subsonic since it's also on my htpc computer, but I rarely play music through my TV.
Whenever I connect through Dex on my monitor with either Netflix or Amazon prime for video and pause in about three seconds it disconnects to where I have to unplug usb c and reconnect. it only happens when I pause. Anyone with similar?

Only with netflix and amazon prime? Not on stock video player, YouTube, etc.?
Then it could be a "feature" of these apps.
If you have a PC attached to the monitor, stream the videos from PC instead of from your tablet.

I have found an interesting quirk of these apps, If? I download the movie to then be able to play/pause without an issue, but if I stream and pause will disconnect the Samsung Model Number SR75 UHD 4k monitor attached to Samsung Model Number EE-MG950 HDMI Dex Station. Strange that it only disconnects while streaming?? YouTube streaming is fine and I will try others to see if same occurs? IDK? maybe is a Netflix & Amazon Prime video anomaly because of connected through monitor versus tablet screen? I just can't figure out why? I know only one other person with a Galaxy Tab S7 and we tried with his in same issue.

I rarely use my PC anymore since my first Galaxy Tab S4 used thru Dex station. The Dex allows me to use my tablet easier than my Windows PC laptop. I only use PC when Windows is required versus Android/Dex.
