I've been looking into WiFi drives recently (with a particular eye on the "HyperDrive CloudFTP" to make use of a couple of external hard drives). Are these supported by Windows Phone 8?
Has anyone tried one with a WP8 device (presumably the web-based support works at least)?

All WP7 devices had a UPnP/DLNA Client on Board so you will be able to access the data using that route. The Web App should work as well. Aside from that the device seems to support FTP and SMB as well. There are Apps on WP7 that allow accessing those although they will have to be updated for WP8 before you can use them to share data they retrieve from the WiFi-Drive in other Apps.
The system itself has no direct support for Windows Explorer like functionality.

The only dedicated app I've seen (so far) is the Western Digital "WD2Go" which only supports about 3 devices.
Presumably there are more generic DNLA apps.

The HTC one is called Connected Media. The Samsung one is called AllShare. I don't know at the moment what Nokia calls theirs but there is one as well.

Curious if there are any torrent apps for the WP platform and, if yes, your favorite?
What do you mean by "torrent apps"? uTorent remote controlling apps or torrent downloaders? Torrent downloaders can't be implemented now because of OS limitation (probably), also they have absolutely no sense because of handsets limited storage capacity and access.
There are few uTorrent remote controllers on the marketplace but I can't recommend you any (I'm using BitComet)

Downloaders.
I torrent quite easily on my 16GB no SD card GN. For something that makes "absolutely no sense" it works quite well.
I dont know of any that will download to your phone.... but i have seen a bit torrent (to computer) cue device.
what exactly are you trying to download? music? or other things?

GN - Google Nexus? Yes, Android file system (emmc or storage card) can be accessed by third-party apps. Situation is completely differ on WP7: app can't access different apps isolated storage files, and have very limited ability to share data with the others (only pictures). So, as I've said before, standalone torrent app have no sense... Otherwise it should include universal media player (to play all possible file types).
Has anyone found out if there is a File Manager? One which can access network shares on a wlan? Or one available as an app?
If no, sticking with Android...
There is no local File Manager. Apps that can access remote Network Shares are already available on WP7.5. Given that WP8 allows Apps to launch other Apps that support certain file types you could use one of those Apps (when they are updated to WP8) to grab a Video from your NAS-Box and launch it in the built in Video Player.

Great, thanks for the info. Could not find it googling. And you guessed what I'd like local and/or network share access for: playing media at home from the NAS. Will need to check out Windows Phone 8 at a store, maybe upgrade the phone hardware soon.

Most NAS boxes currently support UPnP or DLNA servers. This can be played through various software. Before jumping in I'd still wait to see if the required Apps are updated to allow for a seemless transition because at release the Apps are almost certain to not have been updated (given that the SDK was just released yesterday). So the possibility is there but at the moment the Software isn't really.
Might be worth checking wether your Media Files are currently stored in a format supported by the phone, given that similar to iOS WP is pretty picky when it comes to file formats.
I'm looking for a video player/server app for WP8 that will allow me to play locally stored files (MP4) from my phone (an HTC 8X) onto a DLNA-capable television. So far I've not found anything that seems to be able to do this, although I thought it would be quite simple (my Nexus 7 has at least half a dozen players that can do it).
Closest I've found was Nokia Play To (set up after spoofing the store into thinking my 8X was a Nokia 925). That app runs OK, but fails to find any DLNA devices, even when connected directly to their hotspot. Also found MyMediaHub, which works fine as a DLNA controller (playing to the renderer from an external DLNA server) but can't play local files. Moliplayer can act as a local renderer (to play files from an external server on the phone via DLNA), but what I want is kinda the other way around, to play from the phone rather than to it.
Are there any players out there which can fulfil this role which will work with the 8X, or am I limited to filling my tablet up with films rather than using my phone for the job (which I'd prefer as they are on there anyway for watching whilst travelling).
The WP8.1 update is supposed to have this ability baked into the OS. Just hold out a few more days, ok a week..

It's a corporate phone, so I may have to wait slightly longer than that, knowing our IT crowd. But it's good news anyway, thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep a check on what does get released with the update, with fingers crossed
There's also Share Box from Samsung (DLNA client that can stream images/videos/music over WiFi). May require proxy trick. Not tried on a non-Samsung phone.

This one also doesn't work on HTC (I've already tried, app failed with "Media service not started" message). Looks like you're out of luck (say "thanks" to HTC for the "great support" and never buy HTC's junkphones again )
P.S. Theoretically, there is no "rocket science" in DLNA server functionality; the only showstopper I see now is the API limitations to access local videos. Hope, with WP8.1 update, some third-party DLNA servers will hit the store...

The OP needs a DLNA server, not a player (there are few DLNA players available at the store).

Not for Windows Phone 8, that is only for WP7.X: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/connected-media/d154a04b-d3ad-47dd-bfc9-a1022e409af6

As I mentioned in my first post - I tried that via a store-spoof to make it think my 8X was a Nokia 925 and serve me Nokia apps for install. The app installs and runs, but it can't find the DLNA renderer, even when connected directly to it. The webpage that details the spoof (using Fiddler2 on a PC as a proxy man-in-the-middle for the set-up process) also reported the same, that Play To installs and runs but can't detect DLNA devices.
As noted, I can find options for DLNA controllers (e.g. MyMediaHub) and DLNA players (e.g. Moliplayer), but what I'm not finding for WP8.0 is a DLNA server app that can see locally stored files. With luck 8.1 could fix this by baking it into the OS, so I will wait patiently until it filters down through our IT boys and their testing.
Hi there
like the title of this thread,
i want an application wich allow me to Mirror my android phone screen to another android tablet or tv box
i search on the Play store but i don't find what i need.
so can anyone help me !!!
regards
Samsung devices can do this via SideSync. I went out of my way to get a phone and tablet so I could use the mirror/remote call/file transfer functionality. Recently LG copied this, so if you have an LG phone and tablet you may also be in luck.
You should probably check the list of devices that support the Chromecast, or consider MHL for output of your phone to a television via an adapter cable.
Sent from my Galaxy S5
After long search i think that it's not possible to mirror All the screen of the phone to another android device beacause
it's should be a protocol like ,DLNA or Miracast ... wich is possible with a dongle wifi display.
but i found two applications wich allow us to share content between devices:
1_ the first aplication is Screenshare:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.springdesign.screenshare.browser.server
2_The seconde application is EZcast screeen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionsmicro.ezcastrx
you can watch the video to know how it works
If both devices are rooted you can get full Chromecast functionality (well, mostly. a few things like Netflix don't and likely will never work) using the Cast receiver port that's on this board along with the Xposed module to disable the signature date check on the device that's sending the Cast, works for me.
Thank you but i don't understand very well
can you please explain what shoul i do step by step?
Regards
I can recommend to use my app Screen Stream Mirroring :angel: , here is the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
I recommend it not only because I am the developer, but because the app was initially made for this.
You can use VLC for Android as receiver or any other RTSP player.
I will also release very soon a player for Android with good additional features.
Just ask if you have any question.
How it works?? there is no instructions!
please explain step by step what i should do?
Download allcast receiver to your tablet and allcast to your phone.
vnc method (root)
Try droid vnc server from the play store(this requires root access) on the device you want to mirror and get a vnc viewer on the device that you want to connect to the vnc server and this will mirror your screen
hi i owned galaxy note 3 phone and recently just bought galaxy tablet note 10.1.

search yueye and download two apps called limitless remote and limitless server. The server app will host a server so every devices on the same Lan can pair up with, but you need to root your server device or the display will be blank, the client device which is the controlling side do not require rooting. You can also download a limitless.zip from the original website to install it in any window os, you can even remote control your pc when you host a server there

If you have a quite recent Android version it should use hardware encoding so you should be able to stream any game... up to 60fps since Android 4.4.
You can check in app preferences if hardware encoding is enabled.

I was going to try your app, but the reviews on Playstore are dismal. Possibly the most negative reviews I've ever seen for an app. So I won't bother, because as in most apps, there are dozens more.
You really should consider trashing the app, fixing it (apparently you have an insane number of ads in the free version) and re-releasing it under a different title. Word of mouth, or in this case, thumbs is everything in the dev world.

I just tried the screenshare app on my Samsung Galaxy tab SM-T350 and a cheap little LGL15G. It works perfectly. I only tried it on my home wifi network, but it streams fast, installs easy and best of all, its free with NO ADS

Hi all,
I am registered to a TV cable company in my country that has 2 different apps, one for mobile, and one for TV.
The 2 apps don't work the same - some channels can only be viewed on the android TV app.
I tried installing the apk for androidTV on my phone, but it doesn't work. (I can't even see the app after installation)
Is there any way I can use xposed (or Magisk) to fool my phone into thinking it is an androidTV?
Thanks in advance,
Efraim.
