[Q] Play on device PS3

Hi,
I have a PS3 and Xperia T. I can connect from the PS3 to LT30p media server and stream the content. However, I cannot push the content to the PS3 using Play on device feature. Am I doing someting wrong? have you tried?
Thanks,

I've been trying but without success.
Some forum posts I've read suggest the PS3 implements DLNA media player (DMP) but not media controller (DMC) functionality. If that's the case then we will only ever be able to pull from the phone which would suck because being able to do Airplay style remote control would be great.
The Xperia T help guide is a bit vague about how you can link the two.
I'm going to keep experimenting with it though.

Update: I've managed to push M4V files and MP3 to my Samsung Smart TV now so I know the functionality in Movies and Walkman apps works.
Something to note though is that the phone doesn't do any transcoding so the target player must support your audio/video codec natively.

Let me know if you manage to do something. Also when playing from the phone media server HD content the stream is not smooth, it's interrupted. It's maybe because my wi-fi network? or what?

Playing HD across a WiFi network is often going to result in stuttering. WiFi often can't retain a high enough constant bit rate to stream HD video - due to signal strength of the transmitting and receiving devices and interference. Also, WiFi often has other devices on it sharing the bandwidth which just makes things worse.
The only way I've been able to reliably stream HD is via my 200Mbps Homeplug adapters or over a wired connection.
The other option (if you aren't fixated on streaming) is to get a MHL (HDMI output) cable for your XT and watch your phone directly on your TV!

No, you have to buy one. They aren't expensive and you can get an official Sony TV dock (which will probably be ridiculously overpriced) or you can buy an after-market cable from Amazon or somewhere similar for about €5. (got mine from Amazon)

I don't think so - if MHL cable is plugged in you get HDMI out and phone charging and that's it.
Back on topic though, I foundthis:

If you scroll down to the bit about the PS3 it says BubbleUPNP might be able to push content to the games console.
Unfortunately my wife has hijacked the TV and I'm out after work tomorrow night so won't be able to test it for a few days myself.

The dock only has a HDMI port and plug for USB power. The keyboard and mouse were probably connected via Bluetooth.

I checked both apps, same behaviour. I cannot push the content from the phone, only from ps3.
After updating to .195 firmware (official one through PC Companion): "Connected devices" program dissapeared and play on device was replaced by "throw". Media server can be started from control panel

Finally had a chance to install BubbleUPNP and Skifta. Both are good DNLA apps. I preferred Skifta but BUPNP was great to use too. I'm leaving them both installed.
To answer the push to PS3 question - neither of them do it. Couldn't get Skifta to work with the PS3 at all in the short time I played. BUPNP did work as a media server with the PS3 pulling content but we were managing that before.
In summary: we can't push media to the PS3 for now, so hopefully Sony will realise they dropped the ball there and fix it soon!

Showbox

I don't know how many of you have used or own or owned jailbroken apple stuff but one of the best apps on apple was/is . Well they came up with an app finally on android and its awesome especially on the HTC one. Its like Netflix but a thousand times better and you don't need to sign up and pay monthly. enjoy all the latest movies and TV shows updated daily and on this beast phone. O and its an app just forgot to mention that!

Good find, thanks for sharing! There's lots of stuff on there been wanting to see.

Sweet! I was able to sideload onto my Sony Google Box and am streaming on my HDTV! Beats the hell out of Netflix!

Nice find.
Anyone know how to integrate this to use with my ChromeCast? I mean without downloading the video & using strictly the streaming feature.

Really cool man. Thanks

I know on some tvs if you go from your phone you can choose third party player and it will stream. Also if you have Google TV Gmail the app to yourself and you can install it on your Google TV and it works that's what I did also. Now apple fans have one less advantage over android haha and you don't have to root your phone unlike the iPhone! Haha when using the third party player choose chomecast if you have to use an app if not you can always try the app cheapcast but that usually goes to another device ie. Phone to tablet but I don't have a ChromeCast to test it on I may try to go to my friends house and test it for you

WOW showbox has this season of "SONs of anarchy" which I dont think netflix or hulu has and one reason why I couldn't ditch my outrageous cost of direct tv. If this showbox lasts, maybe I can finally CUT THE CORD!!!
And with my LG smart internet tv, I just "play to TV"

You know they're gonna pull the plug on us soon...this app is too good to be true! I would even pay for this one!!

This app has been on iPhone for a long time I doubt they will pull the plug.

I just downloaded a movie using apps download feature (use high quality setting) . Its in a folder on the SD (showbox folder) using usb I transferred the download to my computer then watched it on a computer hooked up to a 65inch flatscreen. You can also use HDMI from phone to tv.

This phone has an HDMI port? my phone has been in an otter box since day one, and there's no cut-out in the case for one...
Anyways... Anyone have a link for this app?

Yes, I have an MHL adapter. Haven't tried it yet with this, but I'm wondering if you can send it to the TV wirelessly from the phone without downloading the movie. I can do that in the Gallery by choosing the LG TV under Select Player.

You can try sending it over Dlna to the TV with the flipps app (formerly imedia share). I haven't had much luck with that in the past though. Miracast adapter should work wirelessly too though. There are a lot on the web, htc 's is the medialink

Will my note link to my xbox360

Is there a way to have my xbox360 connect to my note. I would like to stream movies from phone to xbox360

No problem. Your x box is a dlna compatible device. As long as the file is playable using the stock player, you can stream to the xbox.

I have accidently sent photos to my son's 360 when I first used this phone. Did not know what the icon was in the gallery hit it and the next thing I know my son is yelling at me to quit sending things to him.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Is there a setting or something I need to turn on. Even when I open my photo gallery I don't see the icon to send to xbox360 or tv

Nope, if you are using the stock gallery, the icon is right on top when you open an image. It's the icon next to the 'share with' icon. Make sure your xbox and note are on the same wireless network and that you're not in a game.

Of so that's the problem..I have the xbox hardwired to router

They just need to be on the same network. It doesn't matter if one is hardwired and one is wireless. That is how my Xbox is setup and it works with it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Both are are the same network. Here is what I try. xbox is on and connected to xbox live I open gallery on phone and I don't see the little icon to let me switch over.

Barnacle wireless tether worked great on my HTC. Try it out for root user's only

Be careful if you plug your phone into the xbox, mine grounded within and right now it is a brick. I tried it with my iPhone about a week ago. I think I plugged it in at the wrong time or something, I read it's an issue with the 360.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Barnacle works great with x box

Go to settings>connections and enable "Nearby devices" to share media over DLNA.
I remembered seeing tis option when I was first playing with my phone. I don't have any DLNA devices, aside from my Note 3, so I don't really no if this will fix your issue.
hope that helps.

Guess my xbox is screwed then. I open settings share with nearby devices and it does not find my box. My xbox is only few months old.

[Q] live tv on chromecast?

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone had managed to find/get live tv on chromecast.. I have showbox and cartoonsHD streaming fine with avia but just can't find an app that has an option to open with. I would love tv catchup or filmon. To be able to cast.
Cheers

The BBC iPlayer mobile app lets you stream, via Chromecast, live TV in addition to the usual prerecorded programmes. Oddly you can only Chromecast prerecorded programmes via their website.

XDA frowns upon mentioning apps like Showbox, since it is considered a pirate app. With that being said have you tried to cast a tab with a live program from chrome? I have no idea if it would work, but it's worth a shot.

You can try this but it needs Bubble UpNP Server (In a PC) for transcoding : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W02V0Y_Bq0&feature=youtu.be

Well this problem with the cord cutters may soon be solved...
US Supreme court heard arguments in ABC vs Aereo and if they rule in Aereo's favor I would expect them to expand their launch into many more regions than they are in now.
May not help those outside of the US but those within who want to cut the cord will be able to do so because Aereo has plans for CCast support.
It may even have it now I don't know as I am waiting for the court decision before I sign up.

Seems it can be done with the filmon app

You could try PlayOn (now available with free Chromecast!). But PlayOn relies on your PC to do the streaming and transcoding. For some other platforms like Roku you can use USTVNow to get a live feed of eastern time-zone networks, but it's a a fairly expensive subscription - and doesn't yet support native Chromecast.

Filmon has Chromecast support. There are many free channels. Some are good and some are crap. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmoncom.android

I'm also having this problem on an HTC One m7 but it works just fine on an LG 8.3 v500.
Really interested in a possible solution. I've tried various HDCP settings to no avail. Does it have anything to do with HDCP?

The link is partially about DRM from my understanding but yeah I think if its showing on your phone at all, it's not a DRM issue.

Sigh... HTC Media Link HD was a waste of time - couldn't get it to connect at all. Chromecast works perfectly however.
Ordered 2 other miracast dongles to try out but likely won't matter since it's something with the phone.
According to this: http://iezcast.com/bbs-en/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=862 - a firmware update to a dongle seems to have fixed the issue for a nexus 7 user.

HTC Media Link won't show picture from netflix while streaming now since I've updated the os.

Just wanted to add to this a little. I'm seeing the exact same thing on a verizon M8 with the push2TV miracast adapter, and with the miracast functionality built into a samsung TV. Seems like the problem is likely on our end.

Submit a ticket to HTC. Anyone having this problem should.

Any update on this? I modified the build.prop to get miracast working on my Nexus 6, but Netflix still displays a black screen with audio using my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. It works fine on a friends Note 4. What's up?

I guess it has something to do with Netflix.
