Yes, only if your computer is running XBMC at the time and yo have UPNP sharing turned on.
However, you don't need the XBMC program on your tablet to stream music or videos from your XBMC library on your PC; You can use UPNPbubble from the Play store to access the shared library and MX Player (or any other player) to play them.
i have an iomega nas drive and its streams great from it to the nexus 7 ... the only thing with videos its still software decoding not gpu yet
pretty laggy

Hopefully we get Teg3 support on XBMC when it hits beta. There is definitely not going to be Teg2 (h/w decode drivers) for XBMC Android, but theres a chance we could see Teg3 fully supported. :>
That is fantastic! Can't wait to try it.
They really need to work on a touch friendly skin for xbmc though, I can see him struggling to hit list items.
theres two skins cooked in to the (precompiled apk) download build, confluence and a touch friendly theme for smaller screens

Not true. I've been using a beta version I found somewhere around here, and it works exactly like XBMC on a PC. You can add sources from several kinds of network shares or local stuff on your device. I stream all my stuff from simple windows/smb shares, with no special sharing program running on the PC, and it works great.

Is there an apk out there for this yet? I saw that source code is available, but that's a bit beyond me.

I installed the APK from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772433
It struggles with 720p MKVs right now, but I don't think it's optimised for the Tegra 3 chipset yet.
yup, it's software only decode for now.
even so, it's still a very awesome build for a pre-alpha :>
Tried it out last night and work really well streaming from my Nas.
Anyone have a link to getting LiveOnlineFooty on XBMC

There's no HW decode for Tegra3 NEON yet..
i never understood the whole point of XBMC .. so it allows you to stream movies/music to a device correct?
yup, that is kind of the best bit of xbmc, means you can store your movies on a central server and access them on multiple devices throughout your house. Mind you the awesome plugins that stream from external sources is a very close second.

I use XBMC as my main media centre in my house, usually I use androids and iphones as the remote controls for my TV with XBMC running on it, this way is a bit around the wrong way but I can see it being awesome for things like the nexus Q and TV's with embedded android who can suddenly grow full featured media centres

It`s like a self made Nexus Q.
The Raspi is essential.
Every Screen would work which has a component or HDMI interface.
I think as long no Miracast or Nexus Q is available ìt`s awesome.

Or is the Projector essential also?

Is it really the same as the Nexus Q? My reason for wanting to buy a Nexus Q (which isn't available in the UK), is as a party jukebox music hub, but reading the Android Transformer website, it doesn't seem to do much other than movie streaming...
The closest I have found is PlayMySong Android app.

However it's in rather a poor state of repair, the dev, a hipster it seems, focusing on Spotify...
Anyone know any alternatives?

No projector needed. Any display with hdmi would do it too. Even old tv`s would work bacause of the component interface of the raspberry.

No it`s not the same as the Nexus Q. It`s just streaming the screen content from your nexus 7 to a display.

Great thanks bud, currently bidding on a Raspberry Pi as we Speak
why do i need an extra firmware on my N7?
some software for windows/linux would be fine - already have a htpc.
I prefer using the YouTube app on the ps3 control by the nexus 7
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
You need extra firmware because they are trying to get the lowest latency possible so it just being an app wouldn't do. Although they didn't mention gaming in the youtube demo so I assume in it's first version it isn't capable of that yet.
I'm hoping they (or someone) can make a patch for other roms and I also hope this becomes a common feature for all roms.
Yes this is very similar to miracast and they even said when the miracast spec is finalized, they will modify this to be in spec.
Yes you currently need a raspberry pi, but they might write a linux client down the road. Hopefully other projects start on that, maybe a windows client too.
cant you just twonky your photos/vids onto your tv

Ah ok, thank you!
I talked to the devs a couple months ago when it was only working on the Nexus S. They said you can capture the stream using VLC as well, but it is complicated to set up.
When I get my replacement N7 I'm definitely working on that!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm surprised some people are dismissing this. The nexus Q only streams content that you have in google play, it streams nothing from your actual device. Twonky et al stream stuff to a media capable device (e.g ps3) in formats that the receiving device support. Your ps3 can't play that mkv file? Well it's not playing. ps3 doesn't support the subs you have? You're not going to see them. Want to stream a game to your ps3/tv? Not happening.
Think of this more like wireless hdmi. Whatever is on your device you can stream to your large display. It's basically miracast but it's available now. In their earlier demos they demo'd streaming games but I guess/assume they haven't gotten the latency low enough yet.
And as another mentioned, you may be able to stream to a pc with vlc or another player. The main thing is hardware decoding on the pc end for lowest latency. Not sure what decoder chip the pi has but if that was in a pc already, it would make a port easier. So down the road, a pi wouldn't even be needed, not for streaming to a pc hooked up to a large display anyway.
Two things bugged me about the nexus 7: no hdmi and no sdslot. This would solve one of those issues.
Again, I hope this spreads to the other roms and becomes a default option that all of them have.
I was reading more on their website and the current transmit time is around 200 ms which is a little disappointing for games anyway. But another cool featue is it utilizes android beam to stream to another android device.
I have the same functionality with my Galaxy Note 10.1 to my Samsung LED TV... It's a cool feature.
I've already got two Raspberry Pi's... will be looking at this tonight.
See it clears the Nexus 7 but not sure if that is the unlocking of the bootloader (which is already done by me) or also the software. Will look when I get more time.
Got the RPi's for this function originally!
this is cool right now i send youtube/etc from n7 to my rasbpi xbmc using the yatse remote app...
hope they build this into one of the pi xbmc builds...
Sent from my Nexus 7
This cements my decision to buy a Rasp Pi, don't forget to update the firmware to allow official overclocking!
http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2008
Lastly, does anybody know if it upscales to 1080p, or is limited to the Nexus's default resolution?
It would be interesting if it could upscale to a higher resolution but I kind of doubt it. My understanding is it's basically making a video on the fly of whats on your screen and then decoded on the other end. So I would think it would be 1:1 regarding resolution. However, it would be nice if there was a option to lower resolution to try and lower latency or increase framerate for gaming. Might not hurt the image too much although text might appear more fuzzy. But there may be a performance penalty simply by scaling the source image.
I don't currently have a pi yet but if anyone has tried it let us know how it went.
Oh, and I didn't notice you can already use this with vlc
vlc rtsp://<Asus-Nexus-7-IP-Address>:9000/android.sdp.
Too bad it doesn't transmit sound yet. Hmm, I do wish it was an app but understand why it's built into the rom. Given this was released same day as 4.1.2 I assume this is built on 4.1.1 but I don't see that mentioned on their site.

Not yet. RaspberryPi.org have announced 4.0/4.1 is working, but they're waiting to release it until they get audio working properly. So far it's been a few months and nothing. All other projects currently can't access GPU and are slow as molasses.
If you can hold off on getting a smart TV, I think that we'll soon see Android working smoothly on the Pi. Hope this helps!

Actually, those "usb media centers" you're talking about, are full-fledged Android system with it's own processor and chipset. Of course it'll work with Raspberry Pi, as long as it can boot externally from the usb. Fortunately for you, a $79 usb system is already available with specifications similar to Samsung Galaxy S, plus Mali-400MP GPU.
And Smart TVs, are in fact, not dumb. They were made for people who are either very rich moneybags, or people who likes to slack off doing nothing besides looking at the TV.

I know nothing about Android TV software, but I'm interested in buying an Ouya (already pre-ordered) for the sole purpose of installing Android and using it as an Android TV with gaming capabilities. This may seem like quite a stretch, I'm not sure.
Does Google share the source code for Android TV? Is anyone else interested in this or something similar?
Well, someone can try to port the Android TV Apps to Ouya, but we need the sources...
Hey ... i think about the same Project.
First of all we should wait if the first Ouya Devices shipped because i think at these time they will release the needing Sources.
If not we have "GPL Violation" .... so we should wait.
I will perfom the integrated "XBMC" with now support Live-TV in Combination with "tvheadend" Server but need help to get tvheadend compile and run under "Android-Kernel" (Tegra3). If some developer will help it would be great !!!
XBMC is already working on supporting OUYA so no worries there. It will probably be ready by the time OUYA consoles ship out.

I know it but for getting xbmc work like live tv you need server with Communication to your dvb device over USB. I actually test some dev porting and compiling of tvheadend server for Android Kernel but got some Problems because Most libs doesnt work .

I guess there's no playback control other than backing out?
I am thinking of releasing an app that can mirror any android devices (starting from Android 2.3 up to android 5.1) to Chromecast receiver.
Since google's Chromecast app can support quite a lot devices, I am not sure if there are still enough interests to mirror android devices with old versions？or to mirror new android devices that Chromecast app do not support?
I did develop such an app, but never released it to public, it's working quite well actually.
Please let me know if you are interested in it, and I can post free versions here.
Please , go ahead. and Let us have a look at it .

Have a rooted Nook HD+( on CM12.1 - lollipop 5.1 ) and chromecast 2015(new version). Regular casting works fine, but there is something preventing mirroring . When hitting casting selection the screen abruptly disconnects. I've tried a program called Mirrorenabler and it also will not mirror. A report by someone using CM11 and some custom rom reported mirroring working fine on Nook HD+ so its not a hardware issue. Does anyone have any thoughts ??
Thanks,
Al
In order for Chromecast app mirror to work, google play services must be installed into system partition. Your android most likely does not have it.
Our Chromecast sender app does not use Google play services, so it should work, please visit this thread later for the apk.
Hey,
I can also confirm that unfortunately on Nook HD+ on CM12.1 mirrorenabler doesn't work, nevertheless on cm11 latest built mirror enabler works great. But still both CM11 and CM12.1 for me are unstable, actually cm12.1 is worst for me getting a lot of download and apps installation slow down, on cm11 I get a lot of keyboard droppings when typing in the browser but gennerally the experience is a lot better.
So would love to test on stock (4.0.4) your app apparently with root.

My CM12.1 on Nook HD+ is not as good as 5.01 that I previously had. If you get Trickster Mod ( to increase responsivness ) and increase read ahead buffer 768 and get Glove Xperia ( to adjust screen sensitivity if needed ) you might like CM12.1 better
