So tonight my wife and I were watching a movie on my laptop when my phone rang (rooted only, stock rom) and i answered it. The movie playing in VLC paused itself and when i hung up the phone it started playing again.
Has anyone else experienced this? I know you can use the VLC Remote to control it but i do not have that installed on the phone. It is also not connected to the laptop via bluetooth but they are connected to the same wireless router.
Update: Conducted a few tests. It does not pause when i watch something on a desktop or any other wireless devices that play movies. I am able to duplicate it as many times as i want to with the laptop though.
Lol.

I've done some googling to no avail. Hopefully someone here might know the answer. Is it possible to stream audio from my PC to my phone? To be specific, I would like to listen to the audio coming from my PC i.e. if I'm watching a movie I'd like the movie's audio steaming from the device, not music. I'm also not talking about watching movies from my PC on the device i.e. Orb. Thanks for any help!
could you clarify it a different way? do you mean play just the audio on your phone while watching a movie on the pc?
i use subsonic to play music on my phone that resides on my pc with a server app on my pc.
you could also use streamfurious if you have a shoutcast playlist stream set up already
seeing what you guys were talking about, i remembered that i have winampremote instaled in my pc at home, and went to get the aplic from the market to use in my N1 (went also to another site to get the server app to install in my pc. it all worked well and i get access to my library at home. i see the names of the music, etc etc. the only thing that is not working is the sound (I can't hear anything ) is it possible the N1 phone couldn't play this kind o. streams?
if some of you could give a tip i would be much appreciated. i'm trying over the net and not kn my lan...

Basic question: Can the Cappy be paired to the PS3 via Bluetooth?
What got me thinking about this was seeing some newer A/V receivers that are offering Bluetooth music streaming from your Smartphone/iphone/pod/etc. Since I use my PS3 to stream some music from my computer and I use my phone for Pandora, I was wondering if maybe it'd be possible to stream Pandora from my phone to my PS3.
try to pair it. if it pairs, one step is down.
next depends on what bluetooth profiles are available. look at any "connect to" options on the phone AND ps3.
with my phone and windows, they paired fine but the phone didnt have the headset option until I tried "connect as headset" from the computer side first, now the option is on the phone. MY POINT... it may take pairing them and switching on and off options on the phone and on the ps3 for them to discover all the bluetooth services that are available on eachother...
pandora dont matter, just get the phone connected as headset, or AV receiver, ect. to ps3. IF YOU CAN....
simply put. .. try. and play. and try.
Yes I have done it using allshare

AllShare works well, but the OP was asking if he'd be able to stream Pandora and I don't think AllShare would help him do that. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
@OP you can stream from content stored on the phone via wifi. You could also stream from the pc to the ps3 and use the phone as a control iirc.
I have liquidsmooth rom and wen i try downloading allshare it wnt let me install says same applicants with same user id any help
Hi xda'ers
I couldn't really find another place to ask this so I thought I would try here.
When streaming music from Google music to the chrome cast I find that when the song is very long (say a live dj set mp3) and i seek somewhere to the middle all audio cuts out. Both the chromecast and the android devices both think they have buffered the new area of the song and say they are playing but no audio comes out. Furthermore if after I start a long song I wait 3-4 mins (enough time for the full 100-200MB mp3 to have fully buffered on the chromecast) then seeking works fine.
Is anyone else noticing this behavior? I also noticed that the same thing happened when streaming to the nexusQ but i ignored it because that was an unreleased product.
I have had trouble with podcasts. If GPlay Music loses the connection there's no way to reestablish it without losing my place in the podcast. However the third party app Remotecast seems to work for seeking even after having resumed a lost connection.

Hi my question is is there a player except localcast which allows me to stream videos on my tv via chromecast but let the audio play from my phone? i searched a lot of websites but could not find anything hope someone can help me here
I could see this being possible by running a UPnP server on the Chromecast and diverting/mirroring the audio through that. I think you'd probably need a rooted Chromecast to do it at this stage though (which I don't have).

I actually got that to happen accidentally while testing casting from Chrome Beta on the phone. I started a Vimeo video playing on the phone, switched to full screen, clicked the Chromecast icon, the video loaded on the Chromecast and started playing, the phone screen switched to control playing on the Chromecast - but the audio continued on the phone. That didn't happen when I stopped and started again, only the first time.
Hi Guys,
Any of you have experienced wi-fi drops using Chromecast Audio?, the thing is it supposed to work properly until I wake up the phone to check messages, or do something and the wi-fi suddenly drops and few seconds later it reconnects, sometimes it also happens when using Bluetooth playing music.
- It happens with the embedded Music application casting to Chromecast audio
- Also casting to Chromecast audio using Neutron music player
- Playing music on Kodi using Yatse remote control (in this case the only relation between my phone and music player software is the remote control because Kodi is playing music itself)
I tried what Sony suggested in their support webpage (except doing a factory reset) and no luck...
Any ideas here?
Thanks and cheers,
Bruno.
