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.

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

Wireless Mirroring

Hello y'all,
I'm a school teacher and the school just bought me a Nexus7 and I LOVE IT! I'm here because I use Power Point everyday and I was wondering if there is an accessory or a way to connect my Tablet to my HDMI projector wirelessly, so I can slid through my solids on my tablet. Any help would be great.
Thanks Guys!

Mirroring just isn't possible on the N7 currently :crying:

can you use the bluetooth to do a remote desktop with a laptop that is hooked up to the projector?
just a suggestion

I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for but if you can get a computer connected to the projector and the n7 on the same network there are several good PC remote apps. I used andremote for a long time and was happy with it.

Just a protocol, you need software and hardware that uses it.
Lot of good suggestions so far but they all require another expensive computer or tablet. The easy solution that being a simple hardware device that listens on WiFi and connects to an HDMI video device without another computer that the Nexus 7 can talk to.
For a teacher, business, home user, you plug this device into any HDMI video device and play, images, video, whatever you have on the screen.
It's coming, but not here yet.

Tegra 3 already supports miracast, just needs to be enabled in the FIRMWARE. Most tvs in 2013 will support it without hardware dongle but a dongle will be a available for your HDMI slot. No different than using mhl cable with HDMI cable except, oh wait, this solution is wireless...

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.

Ideas for the Raspberry Pi

Sup? I'm planning to start some projects for the Raspberry Pi in the spring. The project I have my eyes set on is an tablet/emulator box type thing. I would like to get a Model-B Raspberry Pi, put BerryBoot on top (so I can have a media center and an emulator box all in one), find a decent looking handheld case, have a lightweight and easy-to-install emulator distro, and finally add some controller support and a battery pack. I have always been curious about the Raspberry Pi and I think that this would be an easy and fun way to jump into the many possibilities that it comes with.
On this thread, I want to see the creativity of the tinkerers and modders here at XDA so you can post any ideas you want as long as they have to do with some warm and toasty Raspberry Pi.

Network monitoring screen.
Get a cheap TV and a Raspberry Pi and write a little script that opens a link to Nagios or Pandora monitoring page.

CheapCast in Google Play Store

https://plus.google.com/107130354111162483072/posts/bc1TZChjhRE

Installed it on my NeoTV Prime and it works great with YouTube videos cast from my Samsung Galaxy S3.
EDIT: Well egg on my face. Seems it was not CheapCast that was sending YouTube to my NeoTV Prime. YouTube will cast to my NeoTV Prime without CheapCast even installed. If anyone has Netflix and NeoTV Prime could you confirm this as working for you?
EDIT. The new update to CheapCast will not run on NeoTV Prime. Causes Force Close.
Waiting on Chrome Tab support now.
EDIT. Chrome can see any device that I have CheapCast running on (Galaxy Tab 2.7 and MK802IIIs) and both respond to a Cast from Chrome but nothing plays and Chrome errors out shortly. Both the Tab and MK802IIIs are running the updated CheapCast.
EDIT. I can cast YouTube video from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7 to my MK802IIIs most of the time. Sometimes complains about taking too long to play but for the most part works OK>

Emulate a chromecast on other android devices.

Since it's beta I figure you want feedback. Here is my setup: Source: Galaxy Note 2. Server: Galaxy Tab 10.1
I started sending a YouTube video. It started but after 20 seconds I got a continual spinning circle on both the source and server.
So, I shut down the server app on the tablet by pressing the stop server button. However, even though it was shutdown on the tablet it would play that 20 seconds of YouTube over and over again. I couldn't figure out where it was playing. It didn't show up in the app, it didn't show up in the YouTube app, nowhere. I could just hear that video playing in the background. I finally reboot the tablet to stop it.

Think it through. Most of us have an extra, old Android phone laying around. Just buy a $5 MHL cable and connect to your TV. Now you have a Chromecast for $5. If nothing else, it will hold you over until Amazon gets them back in stock.

It depends on your usage scenario.
For instance, I have an old Android phone plugged into the aux input on a stereo, which I use to stream music. The phone is less-than-accessible, so it'd be great to be able to control it remotely from my phone.
In my living room, I have an old Google TV (The Revue), which Google isn't going to be adding support for casting to. Being able to queue up music and such from my phone would be nice, but what will be nicer is when apps that don't have Google TV versions add Chromecast support. HBO Go, for instance. I think that's the place this helps the most, allowing you to use phone/tablet media apps on older Google TV devices, and some backwards compatibility scenarios (Imagine HBO Go only supports Jellybean, and your tablet can only run Ice Cream Sandwich).
Imagine having this app on something like a Kindle Fire, where it might allow you to stream media from an application that's unavailable in your sandbox (which is really the same situation as Google TV and outdated versions of Android).
Also, considering Chromecast can be added to iOS, imagine there are apps available only for iOS that support Chromecast. You could use this to get whatever they provide onto an Android device. Essentially, it's useful in a number of various situations where (1) the target device doesn't support something your phone does (2) the target device is less accessible than your phone is (3) the target device is more visible than your phone is.
Heck, it's even somewhat useful to be able to send media to a tablet without having to pick the tablet up. I have a Nexus 7 sitting in a stand, plugged into the charging cable, paired with some Bluetooth headphones. The charging cable on the Nexus 7 is very, very short, so I have to unplug the device every time I pick it up. So, there's some small convenience to be had even in the phone-to-tablet scenario.

EXACTLY! I only got one Chromecast before they were sold out. But I have an Android stick/dongle on the other TV. By turning that on, I can cast to it OR the Chromecast on the other TV. Can't wait to try it!

I am curious if this emulator is hindered by the same API restrictions as the actual Chrome Cast? If not, that would make this very interesting.

I am guessing it will probably be hindered instead by lack of proprietary binaries... Netflix and so on. It should be easy to support non-Google-approved features like what Koush has been working on, though.

In my opinion the nice thing would be to have the ability to cast content instead of stream content.
What I mean is that aside from sending a movie from our phone/tablet/computer to the "cheapcasted device" (streaming), it would be nice to open a movie on netflix/youtube/vimeo/ on our phone/tablet/computer and tell the "cheapcasted device" tablet to download it directly from the servers of the video site (without needing to stream anything from one device to another)

Can anyone confirm whether Cheapcast used UDP multicast to identify it on a network? I have an Asus tf700 that doesn't show up on my main router(linksys e4200v2). Ifi connect to my secondary router I can see it if my phone is on the same 2nd router. Chromecast works fine on my primary router and is visible from both devices. It is only visible from devices on my secondary device if it is directly hooked up to the 2nd device.
Do note my primary router works as the dhcp server while the second one is a reapeter bridge.

Unless I am totally confused my your post you have it backwards. When you cast something, for example you are in Youtube, select a video then cast it to Chromecast (or CheapCast) your phone is just telling the device to stream it from the Internet. You phone is basically done at that point. Once the SDK is offical there will be apps that allow you to cast a local video in which Chromecast (CheapCast) will stream it from your phone...
