TV out, Miracast or anything like it?

It's driving me nuts. The only thing that stops the the Nexus 7 being nothing more than a toy or glorified ebook for me is the fact I cannot find any form of big screen streaming for it. My 2 year old phone has MHL abilities which is okay but someone must know if there are any plans for the Nexus 7? It seems to be ridiculous to have such a powerful device and not be able to use it on a bigger screen.
I've searched back 10 pages on this subject and found nothing so welcome any fresh perspectives on it.

+1 to BubbleUPnP...
Though screen mirroring is not possible in BubbleUPnP, you can throw any media from it to your TV or other
DLNA enabled devices...
Luckily, my TV has WiFi dongle and Wi-Fi direct feature...
so, once my device is connected to the TV via WiFi-direct, launch BubbleUPnP and select the TV as renderer, I can
throw any media to the TV...
I'm also hoping and wishing for the screen mirroring...

Hi I will look at BubbleUPnP, I've been using Skifta for the time being which does DNLA quite well.
I use my PS3 as a receiver but it doesn't support many file formats.
It's a real shame the Nexus doesn't at least support MHL.

Except mkv files, right?

With a raspberry pi and tassadar's android transporter rom mirroring is possible with reasonable response times

XBMC chromecast

Curious if anyone has any solutions yet for XBMC streaming on Chomecast?
Read about Koush aircast but dont think will support XBMC. BUBBLEUP was trying to develop app
Any ideas?

In theory, if you have a universal playing app like VLC remote or Yatse for Chromecast, it might work...

Been hoping for the same thing! Waiting for Chromecast to cast any video stream to my TV. Including my 1Channel app on xbmc

If you want to stream videos to XBMC using Chromecast technology then XBMC will need to embed Chromecast display/render functionality which may be difficult to impossible to include DRM which might make it useless. The other way around does not make any sense for XBMC as it does not transcode and act as a library, it's a self contained library and renderer. I've messed around with XBMC, My Movies, Plex and all have their advantages. I'm really hoping for Plex support so I can browse my movie library on my phone and cast it to the Chromecast just like youtube, google movies, etc.

XBMC does not transcode and by design is a renderer so unless XBMC completely changes their goals and design it just won't happen. Look at Plex it's designed this way, to have a back end media server transcoding to stream to basically any device. All they really need to do is define a transcode type for Chromecast then implement the front end controls into the Android app.

Thanks will try plex do they actually have an app ?

Plex gets installed on your PC (media library and transcoder) then you can run any number of Plex renderers (on PC, Android, Roku, etc). It should be relatively easy for Plex to add Chromecast support as it's designed to work just like Chromecast works. However I would rather use a Chromecast then a Roku...

Could swear I read somewhere that plex is going to add Chromecast support.
Edit: " The makers of the Plex media center are also hinting strongly at plans to support Chromecast, and code found by Chromecast hackers seems to stem from efforts to bring HBO Go to the platform"

Not a guarantee, but cant see them passing it up.
Then again there is this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...es-stream-any-local-or-cloud-file-to-your-tv/
Wouldnt be limited to plex or xbmc. Could use any dlna/upnp server.

There is a lot of talk about it and Plex offically says they are highly considering it or something like that but they have not officially committed to it. I really have no doubt that they will, it's a perfect fit!

On the Plex website there will be a Plex Media Center and Plex Media server. The Plex media center is the windows renderer otherwise for the platforms just search for Plex in the Play Store, App Store, etc...

The only reason I'm more in favor of Plex over Bubble is that Plex does transcoding while Bubble doesn't. So I can play MKV files with Plex while with Bubble I can't. I would like to be able to stream every format I have instead of just the select native formats that the Chromecast can serve. Plex has an awesome transcoder so I really hope they can release this.
(edit: NM I'm an idiot. Plex runs as a DLNA server so it will do the transcoding through Bubble. Either way it looks like Koush seems to be close to including this feature into Allcast).

Hi,
It's now possible to cast xmbc over chromecast through Avia Player ($2.99 charge for Addon). Video tutorials up on YouTube explains how.
Using Smartphone - XMBC can be watched over Chromecast through Avia Player which costs $2.99. YouTube Video shows how.

The URL input would be awesome.

Oh and widgets for the home screen. Local weather and a nice clock, to be more specific

Local streaming is my #1 by far. Essentially cutting my need to run a HDMI to laptop is the main reason I bought it lol.

As simple as 24p output from netflix, 60hz is terrible! Or am i missing something when 60hz is only I get...?

As the Chromecast picks up the URL of e.g. YouTube or Netflix and takes over the stream, it is unlikely to be able to stream audio to your phone at the same time.

Here is a list of Apps that are already working on CCast support
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromecast
As for what I would like to see....
1 - I would like to see the XBMC remote programs allow you to cast to Chromecast as a Target. But I think they would have to add transcoding to XBMC to do it well....
2 - Would like to see a good SCREEN CAST app which I think may in the end not require an APP because it will be native to Android.
3 - The Ability to leverage HDMI-CEC capabilities of Chromecast in an App to enable CCast to act as a Remote Control via IP. (But better would be an IR blaster port in the next generation CCast so those without HDMI-CEC setups can use it as well)
4 - Screen Mirroring support for PC outside of Chrome (Not really an App as much as a program for PC)

Twitch, undoubtedly my app I'd use the most.

aVia streams from Dropbox!
I doubt that Dropbox would add casting to it's own app.
Whats funny is I looked at the DIAL homesite and saw the Bittorrent and uTorrent name registered in their database...So soon your Bittorrent client like Azureus or uTorrent may get the capability to stream to CCast.
Check out who has registered names and prefixes for DIAL support.

twitch
lovefilm
blinkbox

BBC iPlayer and LoveFilm.
Although I understand they're both UK and the ChromeCast isn't out in the UK yet...so probably not going to be soon.
I do wonder how many Chromecasts are "live" in the UK though!

Good news for you...BBC has already registered the iPlayer with the DIAL Registry.
TBS has a bunch of names reserved as well one of which seems to be for NBA!

Would love to see VUDU, Amazon as well.
Lets hope google will read this forum.. /)

Would love to see a support for MX Player.

Amazon prime , so i can stream movies.

With Avia, every app that uses external player and supported file format automatically gets Chromecast support. Even BubbleUPNP can play through it. I am not even sure if I really need anything else.

Great Article! As great as the Chromecast is....It is the DIAL protocol itself that is what makes the device exciting and the Potential to change the way we do TV in the future.
Just imagine TVs with Two Way DIAL support...Whats on the TV can be sent to a second screen...
Or content from any device that supports DIAL can be sent to any TV.
No worrying about the Manufacturer keeping their smart Apps up to date anymore.

V-get along with the official vlc media player beta

This is by far the best combination of apps for streaming any media directly off any android chrome site, and I've tried every combo I can think of. I still have no true way of rendering unsupported formats to stream off of native apps without getting a PC involved...any ideas???
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

What does adding VLC in the food chain buy you? Have you tried going directly to Web Video Caster?
Have you tried the Chrome Beta and going to chrome://flags and casting directly?
No phone-only solution exists for transcoding unsupported to supported codecs.

Very true. I didn't like the chrome beta too much but web casters pretty cool. I guess I just have high hopes for possibilities to where vlc on android with streaming could lead to.
