So, i searched and could not find was i what looking for...
Here is what i would like:
1) PC with movie on harddisc (and for instance tversitiy)
2) stream to galaxy tab (have it working with skifta/rockplayer)
3) connect galaxy tab to tv with HDMI connection
Result --> play movie from pc on tv via wifi
O, and what would be great even greater --> use my HTC desire android phone as a remote control (like pausing and fast forward)
What do you guys think.... is this possible????
you could do that with ES files Explorer
- install ES
- select the folders you want to share on Windows
- open ES files and click LAN then MENU--> NEW--> SCANNER--> it should display your computer with the local IP as name (no need to wait for the scan to end just click BACK)
- click on the media file to open and choose stock player to read it
- you know the rest !
if a file doesnt open with a simple press, just make a long press and select "open as" and select whatever it is
not exactly what i ment.

1. You would need an HDMI cable that you can connect to your tv and tab. But as far as I know and can find out the Galaxy doesn't have or support HDMI output.
See the specs here: http://gadgetian.com/10288/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-specs-price-2/
It could be possible to do if you can find a HDMI mirroring app like the one I use for my eVo4g, as far as I know their isn't one that would work on Honeycomb.
2. As for using your Desire as a remote, you'd have to find a app that could control what ever media player you use, either through wifi or bluetooth. You might be able to find one on the market. You could also try one of those remote desktop apps on the market.

If your tv supports DLNA push then you can use Skifta to stream to tv without any wires.
I don't have a tv with DLNA support, so i connected my tv to pc as a secondary display and i use Skifta basically as a remote control. I use windows built in media server, it supports DLNA push on win7.

and where do you controle skifta? from you tablet and then let it push to the tv?
Not sure if this is exactly what your wanting, but I use VLC Direct pro to play videos from my sg10. 1 or my android phone to play on my computer. The program also let's you control the player and let's you play the videos on your computer. It wasnt that hard to setup just google it.

Skifta is on my tablet, i use it to browse my movie library (it's on my PC) and select play to PC (it outputs picture to my TV). Hope this makes sense, English is not my native language so it's hard for me to explain it.
Basically i sit on my couch, holding the tablet and using Skifta app to control whats playing on my TV.

You will need to purchase the HDMI dongle that samsung offers. It attaches to the bottom connector of the tab. Just like how the IPad's do.

I have the AV cables and can get my home screen of my phone on the TV. My question is it possible to get Netflix to go from my phone out to TV?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
unless the netflix app limits that ability. everything should work just fine. although not sure why you would want to with all the other sources we have now days for netflix. google tv, xbox, playstation, etc
Maybe he or she wants to use the TV out cables on a DVD player which uses A/V in? I would love to find out how to enable that capability on my phone since I have a 5" PSone monitor in addition to using Crunchyroll.
FYI: This is for Pre-Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (not 4.1 Jelly Bean - yes it's confusing) devices. 4.2 now has a much better feature for screen mirroring!
I'm just wondering if anyone else has thought of this. I know that it's not EXACTLY the same thing, but the principles are similar.
If the Nexus Q is just a media viewing device for $300, why wouldn't you just buy an Android tablet with MHL or HDMI out?
I happen to have the TF101 (original Nexus tablet IMHO) with Mini HDMI out. Newer Android tabs have Micro HDMI out. A lot of Android phones have MHL/microUSB-HDMI out. I did a quick google, found this and installed a VNC Viewer and VNC Server on both by HTC Sensation phone (running Android 4.1.2) and my TF101 (running Android 4.1.1).
I was able to remote control the tablet from my phone.
So since I have the full app catalog available to me through my TF101 (including Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, Pandora, Google Music, etc.) and I can use my Sensation to remote control it while connected to my LED TV - and also take it with me if I decide to go on a trip - why would I want to buy the Nexus Q???
Nexus Q main feature is the built in amplifier for passive speakers.

I thought the main feature was that it was a media link to your TV. What the heck else would people really buy it for?
I use my Droid Bionic with dock that has USB, micro HDMI and a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard as an extra HTPC in my other room. Works great for all media content.

The possibilities are endless. It gets even better as the 10/100 LAN support and NFC makes a connected home pretty easy.
The Nexus Q main feature is that it is a social media device. Sharing music and movies is the prime feature.
What VNC server?
As of 4.2.1, all VNC servers are broken, and there is no information about when (if ever) there will be a fix. Can your family handle a multi-month disruption of their media-viewing ability?
How can I connect my N9 to my TV at work. Chromecast won't work due to work Wi-Fi security and I can no longer hotspot my phone since my MotoX gen 2 isn't too table.
Looks like the microusb doesn't have a video out.
I work at the fire department and it would be nice to load movies on my tablet so we could watch them at the station at night.
If your TV is DLNA compatible, you can use AllCast to play movies. Or if your TV supports MiraCast, you can apply this mod to enable MiraCast on your N9 (which will mirror your screen directly to your TV using WiFi Direct) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2941396
