I just got the wireless HTC Media device.... Very cool. It says you can play a movie on your TV while doing other things on your phone like email but have not figured out how to do that. When going to the home screen while a movie is playing on the TV, it stops. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

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...

So I picked up one of the HD docks from Amazon. I am using it at work and when trying to play Netflix I get no video on the screen. I hear the audio just fine but for the life of me I can not get the video to play.
If I undock it and go back in to netflix it plays just fine. Any thoughts?
the dock is not connected to any monitors or tv, just trying to get video to play on the phone while I am at my desk. Also doing the same thing with Hulu. So I am assuming there is some setting maybe?
try disabling the hdmi setting under system settings/display/HDMI Settings.
Hi there!
I was wondering if anyone has any idea why my phone wont play videos or sound through mhl hdmi on tv?
Menus and pictures works fine, but when I try to play a video it plays it on phone but TV screen just turns dark, and hdml connection doesn't work any more until I reconnect the usb again.
I have; Xperia T running cyanogenMod 10.2.0-mint (4.3.1 android).
(so far I tried playing music, opening any videos with default player and mx player, on all those hdmi connection hangs. (black screen on tv but keeps on playing on phone).
Any help ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
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 there, I need your help. I have just bought this great phone to me girlfriend, its really great for her (small size+powerful hardware). She has Samsung smart TV and loves playing stream music, before she goes to sleep. The problem is, when she wants to show me some video in mobile, it auto starts to play also in TV, it takes some time, phone freezes for a while and it kills the music. I don't know how to disable this feature :/
She told me it was possible on her old phone Xperia U (Playing music in TV on background with media stream and at the same time watching video in mobile phone...)
Any advice? Maybe its somewhere hidden in menu, dunno.
