I have a Nexus 7 and I want to stream some of the videos I have purchased through the Play Store to my TV using dlna. The problem I have is that when I "pin" my content so it stays on my device the movies do not show up in the video folder so dlna apps can play them. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Is there some workaround to allow streaming of Amazon Prime HD videos from Amazon.com?
I can stream Amazon Prime movies in SD with no problems at all, but when I try to stream any HD content, I get a window popup with the message:
'You can not playback this HD movie via the Amazon.com website. HD movie playback is limited to Kindle Fire HD, Xbox 360, PS3, Roku, TIVO or other Amazon Instant Video HD Compatible devices. Would you like to watch the Standard Definition version instead?'
Anyone had any luck getting this to work?
Seems pretty obvious that Amazon reserves HD streaming only for users of their authorized devices. What's not to understand?
I use Firefox beta and run amazon on desktop and it gives me hd streams
Sign up to Dropbox using my signature and we both get an extra 500megs free http://db.tt/YZjXmjTT

Click to expand...

If you had read my post, you would realize I was trying to find out if there was a way to get it working on the Nexus 7
I'll give Firefox a try as another helpful poster has suggested.
It works
For some reason none of the Xperia Z tablets are not compatible to stream HD videos from "amazon instant video" I checked on amazon.com comptible devices and says all android devices.
Does anyone know a way to stream HD content from amazon video? My iphone streams HD content from amazon flawlessly except Xperia
Its a Amazon issue..
I have a similar issue with Vudu..
My tablet Z running Lolipop 5.1.1 will download as well and stream Full HD movies from Google play movies , but with Vudu I can only stream Full HD movies but cannot download them, I get the message this device in not compatible which it clearly is and reverts to SD downloads only.
Hey guys, i'm looking for best android apps to stream videos to chromecast. The problem is that most of them only support mp4 files. I found only one that supports all file formats, it transcodes the file on the fly on your phone and streams directly to chromecast. its called Megacast. Does anyone know anything similar?
Try using Plex... It's a paid app, but free from time to time in Amazon App Store
Megacast - Chromecast Video
This isn't strictly a Chromecast app, but rather than Android one that you'll need to download on your phone. Regardless of how you get it on your TV, through, Megacast is an excellent Chromecast player that has real-time transcoding support, allowing you to play files from your phone or tablet that aren't supported natively on your individual Chromecast device. This includes AVI, MKV, 3GP files and more. It can also automatically pre-load subtitles or let you add your own, making it one of the most flexible video streaming apps around
The Google Chromecast lets you display video, photos, pictures and other media content from supported apps on your big-screen TV, using your Android or iOS device as a remote control. You can also send content straight from a Chrome Web browser on your computer. There are hundreds of apps that take advantage of this unique technology, which Google calls "casting," to offer a new way to link.
Try BubbleUPnP
BubbleUPnP, many video + audio options, local transcoding, supports configurable subtitles and transcodes only when necessary.
Plex always transcodes when using subtlitles, always thanscodes if audio is Dolby/DTS to Stereo, and does not support AC3 passthrough as BubbleUPnP does.
Plex is a hog.
+1 for BubbleUPnP, amazing Android app. With a good media server running on the pc (like Serviio) you can stream everything to your Chromecast (transcoding is done by the pc).
Not a huge fan of BubbleUPnP, when I download something off ttorrent, its a roll of the dice of it will work with it. I'd have to say my go to is local cast. Worst is allcast
Allcast isnt bad. I mainly use it to stream Showbox
Plex by far.

Emby all the way. Its,s free, its for, its better than plex
BubbleUPnP also works with DLNA and transcoding on the fly. With a powerfull device is amaizing. Slow devices work with hickups. Waiting for a while for Mxplayer to chromecast but still no go.
It seems even this smartphone has hdr10 screen recognized by prime video and YouTube, but Netflix Is limited to HD streaming.
Is it supposed to be like this ?
Same here.
I believe that the Netflix app needs updating to release this function.
