I think I am getting poor quality from Plex when connected to the TV its pretty pixelated... anyone else have that? Or is it an option I haven't played with

Too little information to give you a good answer. But yes, there are options for streaming bandwidth for example that can affect quality.
On the main settings page on the plex app on the xoom, you can change bandwidth that it uses over local, over wan, and over 3g (not useful on wifi xooms). Above 2mbps and all my HD moves and tv shows look 100% HD on the xoom with no jitters, stutters, blurring, nor fragmentation. Couldn't be happier. I'm pretty sure that is the one major setting which will affect quality. That and the quality of the input video of course
edit: Also, I'm pretty sure there is an option to down-mix DTS to stereo on the server through the web browser interface. I would definitely recommend enabling that for playback on the xoom.
Ok all settings were on auto. Changes local to 5mbs but what is remote WiFi... when you are on WiFi but the media isnt?
Thanks

Remote Wifi is when you are still on Wifi, but a different network from your server (at a friend's or halfway across the world). The most important factor here is the upload speed capability of your server. I keep my Local at 5mbps, remote at 2mbps, and don't have 3g so can't comment on the last option (mobile broadband, 3g, or whatever they have it labeled, cant remember).
edit: Check out the Plex wiki on their website. It will answer pretty much every question you can think of. Extremely informative.
Looking better already! Odd that auto doesn't set itself pretty good when its local!
Also anyone have issues with video freezing when going into settings or pausing and the screen locking?

Since when does auto work right on anything?
No issues here, everything works perfectly.

The developer mentioned somewhere that the auto detection is pretty poor and that they would be working on it more in the future. The other advice about tweaking for each connection type is spot on as well

This works externally on any wi-fi service. You do not have to be connected to your home network to connect to your music. You can get it from any wi-fi. On your phone, this will allow you to stream your music anywhere on 3G or wi-fi

I access my music in gmote on 3g from anywhere in the world i just forward the right ports from my ip address and access all the files without needing wifi on my droid at least, since there is no 3g on the gtab maybe i will try this program. thanks for the info.
There is almost zero setup on this application. Download the app to your android device, then download the app on your PC and just point it to folder you want it to watch and magic-tastically it shows up on your android device.

sweet, ill have to give it a try when i get home later.
You should be able to stream video if you have an HTC MediaLinkHD.
This will only work with videos/music stored locally on the tablet. It will not clone your display, so no surfing the web or games on the tv. Just streaming movies and music to a tv.
I was toying with it last night on my transformer prime. I tried bubble upnp, imediashare, etc... All of them would stream music no issues, but the video would always fail.
Then I found this free app, and every video I tested worked. In most cases, this worked better then the pairing between my evoLTE and the medialink.
If you search the play store for medialink , you should find an app called Wi-Fi Media by Cavium (wont show up when searching for Wi-Fi Media). Install it, choose your movie, and set the renderer to the medialink.
profit???

Of course I don't have the Nexus7 yet. But if anyone does, and has the medialink and wants to try it I don't see why it would be any different then my prime running AOKP.
This would be an expensive option if you don't own a newer HTC device and already own a medialink. But seems the option is there at least.
The no video output was more of a deal breaker to me then the storage, and that seems to be a non-issue now. If I could just find one in stock.
we can't have an app for make a mirror screen such as htc one x use 3 fingers to mirror the screen is not possible with a mod in next rom custom ?
I've been using the the media link and the Wi-Fi media app with my nexus 7 and must say it works well. We take it with us now just in case we need to keep the kids quiet with a film. The video quality at 720p source is very good and it hasn't stuttered once.

Don't know if I would have bought one though. I got mine free from phones 4U, when I got my one x.

I have one but mirroring kind of sucked and it was all that was available outside of the stock player and YouTube which actually sent the content via MediaLink (not just mirroring) on my HTC One X. I'll give it a shot with my Nexus 7 tonight. I was underwhelmed with the device using my HTC One X but I hope that it's better with the Nexus 7. Fingers crossed!
This should essentially be the same thing, a lot cheaper... once it releases.

Should have a beta out in the next 4 weeks, they are planning support for the n7.
Can anyone confirm if it works using play store movies that have DRM?

Can anyone provide a categoric answer on whether the HTC Media Link HD will play movies downloaded onto the Nexus 7 from the Play store that have DRM protection?
I think answering this single question will stop a lot of people hunting around and ultimately creating similar threads on the Nexus to TV issue.
Thanks.

How is this possible? At 1280x800 we have 1,024,000 pixels, at 32bit color depth that gives 32mbit per full screen image, so standard 60hz video would require just shy of 2gb/s... Wifi can't do anywhere close to 2 gigabit per second, 802.11n theoretical max is only 600 megabit and that's using 4 spatial streams which no consumer hardware supports... for most home users their max is going to be about 300 megabit/second using 40mhz channels and 2 spatial streams with a guard interval of 400ns (and even that is hard to achieve). At 300mb/s you'll get a frame rate of less than 10hz without compression.
So how the hell are they doing it?
Ok so when I received my Nexus 7 I had a lot of issues with streaming media on my ISP router. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out and thought maybe it was a hardware issue with my device. So what I did was simple. I downloaded Wifi Analyzer app from the Google Play Store. Open up the app and click on Settings. Once you get into the settings you'll see "Channel Settings" option. For 2ghz all of the channels for mine were already checked. Click on the 5 GHZ option if you have it and scroll all the way to the bottom. Make sure the higher mhz channels are checked. Exit out of the app and test to see if media streams better. If not you might have to mess around with the "Scan Interval" settings. Hope this helps it helped me a lot!
What software are you using for streaming?
Not sure what you mean. For movies e.g. transformers I use the stock video app and YouTube and that's about it. Works great now after fixing it this way.

I thought the Nexus 7 was 2.4ghz only?
I believe that available channels setting only affects the channels the Wifi Analyzer app will look at and display in the Channel Rating view of the app.
Interesting, not sure how I fixed my issue I was having before then

yeah, me too (confused). i'm not 100% sure but i'd be mighty surprised if a wifi analyzer app changed the frequencies on which your device was looking for a signal. great app by the way, it has helped me in more than one wifi situation.
i just started combing these forums as i plan on getting a nexus 7 in a few days :-D
Here's one way to help with streaming... gets your own router and don't use those isp owned ones.
This one is great for all needs, even has built in upnp and 2 usb ports for hard drives.

Hi, Guys
I am using "[DEV/ROM/4.1.2] [Dec 21 2012] CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.0 for N1" this rom.
However, I met a problem that Youtube is not working on my phone while I am using 3G mobile data connection, but it works well when I am using WIFI.
Anyone has the same problem? Could anyone help me with this?
Cheers,
I did not have the problem. Perhaps your 3G connection is slow. Which ROM are you using? Vijendrahs ROM ?
Yep, I am currently using that one. I have tried other roms as well, they did not work either. I also tried other YouTube player like Tubemate, sometimes I could load the video or ads when I chose low resolution, e.g., 320x240. My 3g speed is actually quite decent, can up to 200kbs. I am wondering it has something to do with the operator or internet setting?

By looking at the App comments for the latest update, it looks like many users are facing this problem (Buffering/Video failing to load). Can you try putting an earlier version of Youtube and test?
btw, Youtube is not blocked in your country right?
Hey
When I "cast" Plex from my phone or tablet the sound is rubbish. Almost like back in the day when you watched a video on the internet.
But watching Plex via my set top box is fine. Any solutions?

Without some Media Info and info about your setup it will be difficult to answer...
One reason could even be as simple as a dirty connection between the CCast and the HDMI input...
But more likely is that you are streaming in some form of Multichannel that your TV doesn't support or is set incorrectly to deal with it.
CCast should take into account what your TV will accept for audio but on some older TVs this may not work properly.
It could also be the way it is transcoding in Plex for CCast that is the difference because your set top box may not require transcoding.
So many things it could be that it is impossible to solve without a lot more information to draw from.
It's been fine recent weeks. Up until a few days ago. My set top box accesses the same media PC with no issues.
