So I've tried several DLNA apps, including iMediashare, and most of them work fine as far as sharing videos I've downloaded. But no video I actually filmed with my One ever plays right. It's either really choppy or audio only. I've tried filming in 1080 and 720. Has any one had success streaming to another device using your own videos with an app like iMediashare?
Yes to my TV using iMediaShare. By choppy do you mean with interruptions?
If yes this is related to your TV or wifi router being capable to handle high stream. The 1080 (which has high bit rate 60) filmed works fine on Samsung LCD but not so well on my Panasonic one, sometimes it's played with interruptions (tough the 720 can handle it ok)
The 720 doesn't work either. I've tried iMediashare with Windows Media Player and VLC Direct with VLC. I at least get a picture with VLC, but just sound with WMP.

I recorded a video on my HTC Hero, The audio works fine when i played the short video i made on my phone, But when i put it on the computer, The Audio Did Not Work. What's the issue here? The video plays fine so I'm guessing my computer has the correct codec to play it but why isnt there any audio.
Hi.
I have a very strange setup in head and I need confirmation before doing anything.
First of all, I wanted to know if I can cast videos using VLC or MXplayer (Or other ?) ? But not local videos, streaming videos (Using wifi).
After that, Can I use a Bluetooth Headset connected to my device without having trouble with audio coming from the cast ?
And finally, Is there better alternative to G Chromecast for what I want to do ?
Thanks for reading.
You want to stream from a local drive on your wifi system and cast to your pre-wifi/ethernet tv via Chromecast? Since I have my tv connected to my router, I don't normally cast local. However, Plex will allow you to create a library of your videos and the app allows casting. Fire stick also uses Plex. I'm sure there are other set-ups, but my local streaming is direct. In fact, I usually use Playstation media server (without the Playstation) via DLNA TV input. As for bluetooth, once you cast, audio is transferred to the viewing device. I have my audio running through an ancient 2-channel Onkyo receiver. I have a bluetooth transmitter in the headphone jack. I use Sony bt phones quite successfully.

Thanks for the audio on bluetooth help.
My files aren't on a local drive. Actually I'm playing streaming video from Video hosting service (Like Youtube, VideoMega, etc...) using HTML link in VLC or MXplayer.
I often use Chrome to cast a video stream to my Chromecast. I am playing with a Win 10 laptop to a TV with the Chromecast plugged into it.
Sometimes, it comes through as screen mirroring (the video plays on both laptop and TV) and sometimes it casts directly through the Chromecast (the laptop switches to show a message that the video is casting, and the video only plays on the TV). I cannot figure out what triggers screen mirroring vs direct streaming through the Chromecast. Sometimes it will stream directly and then suddenly switch back to mirroring on the same video stream.
I would prefer to have the video stream directly through the Chromecast. The picture quality is better, less chance of audio lag, and less stuttering. Also, the laptop does not have to do all the work of rendering the video so it saves quite a bit on battery.
Anybody know how if there are ways to control this?
Try playing a movie or show with ac3 audio. I can only hear one of the audio streams and usually not the voice stream. My other mono speaker phones just pushes all the audio streams into the one output but for some reason on the Nubia z20, it doesnt do this. Can others confirm?

I am not experiencing an issue with Plex playback of AC3 audio. I have a global Z20 with global ROM.
Very odd. I have no problem with the audio if I tell Plex to use an external player like VLC but when using the internal Plex player it doesnt play all the tracks.
I have just yesterday made a setup with Chromecast to my Denon AVR 1911 (upper limit 1080p) to a projector (upper limit 720p) . Nothing comes to the projector. I can go to my Denon and see under HDMI information that it receives 1080p and outputs 1080p (no go). So the problem is the handshake between Denon and Chromecast allowing for 1080p.
I have tried changing all Denon settings to lower resolutions in all places I can find but the problem and 1080 input/output remains.
I have found no possibility to force the Chromecast to output 720p. Do you know whether this is possible by any means?
Thanks.
