SPB TV, Netflix, TV.com, Crackle are 4 I've tried. I love Netflix and the built in Google Play movie rental system the best though.

Video Out via HTC MediaLinkHD

You should be able to stream video if you have an HTC MediaLinkHD.
This will only work with videos/music stored locally on the tablet. It will not clone your display, so no surfing the web or games on the tv. Just streaming movies and music to a tv.
I was toying with it last night on my transformer prime. I tried bubble upnp, imediashare, etc... All of them would stream music no issues, but the video would always fail.
Then I found this free app, and every video I tested worked. In most cases, this worked better then the pairing between my evoLTE and the medialink.
If you search the play store for medialink , you should find an app called Wi-Fi Media by Cavium (wont show up when searching for Wi-Fi Media). Install it, choose your movie, and set the renderer to the medialink.
profit???

Of course I don't have the Nexus7 yet. But if anyone does, and has the medialink and wants to try it I don't see why it would be any different then my prime running AOKP.
This would be an expensive option if you don't own a newer HTC device and already own a medialink. But seems the option is there at least.
The no video output was more of a deal breaker to me then the storage, and that seems to be a non-issue now. If I could just find one in stock.

we can't have an app for make a mirror screen such as htc one x use 3 fingers to mirror the screen is not possible with a mod in next rom custom ?

I've been using the the media link and the Wi-Fi media app with my nexus 7 and must say it works well. We take it with us now just in case we need to keep the kids quiet with a film. The video quality at 720p source is very good and it hasn't stuttered once.

Don't know if I would have bought one though. I got mine free from phones 4U, when I got my one x.

Will it work with games

I have one but mirroring kind of sucked and it was all that was available outside of the stock player and YouTube which actually sent the content via MediaLink (not just mirroring) on my HTC One X. I'll give it a shot with my Nexus 7 tonight. I was underwhelmed with the device using my HTC One X but I hope that it's better with the Nexus 7. Fingers crossed!

This should essentially be the same thing, a lot cheaper... once it releases.

Should have a beta out in the next 4 weeks, they are planning support for the n7.

Can anyone confirm if it works using play store movies that have DRM?

Don't think so, I've been trying to find that answer, but I think that's what the nexus q is for :'(

Can anyone provide a categoric answer on whether the HTC Media Link HD will play movies downloaded onto the Nexus 7 from the Play store that have DRM protection?
I think answering this single question will stop a lot of people hunting around and ultimately creating similar threads on the Nexus to TV issue.
Thanks.

How is this possible? At 1280x800 we have 1,024,000 pixels, at 32bit color depth that gives 32mbit per full screen image, so standard 60hz video would require just shy of 2gb/s... Wifi can't do anywhere close to 2 gigabit per second, 802.11n theoretical max is only 600 megabit and that's using 4 spatial streams which no consumer hardware supports... for most home users their max is going to be about 300 megabit/second using 40mhz channels and 2 spatial streams with a guard interval of 400ns (and even that is hard to achieve). At 300mb/s you'll get a frame rate of less than 10hz without compression.
So how the hell are they doing it?

Stream HD Netflix?

So I read that only the new nexus 7 has the updated Netflix app that allows for HD Netflix streaming using chrome cast.
I found this out because everything I streamed from Netflix (from my s4) was in standard def.
Anyone have a workaround for this yet??

I streamed from my S4 a few days ago. It was standard def for a minute or two, then went to full HD.

1: any 4.3 device streams in 1080P
2: the Chromecast doesn't stream from your device. Your device is a glorified remote. It will stream the highest resolution it can from Netflix with your bandwidth

1. I was under the impression that 4.3 devices still need the right DRM support - so a 4.3 custom ROM may not support full HD in Netflix.
2. Right, Chromecast will stream up to 1080p no matter where the cast is initiated from.
Although since my TV is only 720p, I wish I could save bandwidth by limiting the streaming to that resolution.

Is there any Netflix movie that really streams at 1080p? If so let me know which one please.
All the movies I tried on my computer didn't even had a real 720p quality even if the HD button was activated. So if it really was 720p, it definitely didn't look like so good as some 720p videos that you can find on torrent sites, youtube or vimeo...
On my Galaxy Note 2 it's even worst, the quality is similar to 480p at his best.

Streaming on your computer will be lower quality than through Chromecast. Many of the content providers for Netflix do not trust desktop OSes to provide a sufficient level of DRM, so they limit the streaming resolution. On Chromecast it streams at the highest possible resolution. However I can't vouch for which content streams at true 1080p because I only have a 720p TV.

The new Nexus 7 can stream 1080P on the device since it has a 1080P screen. It has nothing to do with streaming through Chromecast. The new/old Nexus 7 and any other Android device will stream the same exact quality through Chromecast to your TV.

When you setup your chromecast on your S4 you didn't have an update for the Netflix app? It may have just been random but when I set mine up last week on my s4 there was an update available. Anyway it streams at 1080p to Netflix really well. I'm sure there are older shows/movies on Netflix that are still in SD but I tried that new show orange is the new black and it steams at 1080p and looks awesome. The post above me seems the most logical way it would work.

1. Only the Nexus 7 streams full HD from Netflix. (When referring to android devices)
2.Chromecast will pull the stream from the internet (not your device) and stream what it can. Not sure if it does full HD though (1080p).
Edit: It seems that the chromecast will stream 1080p Netflix and YouTube, Tab-casting is limited to 720p however.

I can confirm that the Nexus 7 limitation is hard coded in the app. It specifically checks for the Nexus 7 device, not for a certain feature. I have removed that check in my modified Netflix App, it might be what OP is looking for. I have not yet tried to disable the check for Android 4.3, as I've for now simply assumed that that is actually important.

Hey Keychar, I sent you a PM regarding continuing your netflix HD hack.

[Question] Chromecast + Serviio

Anyone managed to use Chromecast and Serviio?

I had to use Avia to forward the files from serviio to chromecast

All that I tried. But Serviio has transcoding, so with the right configuration you could play anything
Note: Avia forwards the movies from Serviio to Chromecast, so if your tablet/phone becomes unavailable the playback will stop.

This would be so much simpler if BubbleUPnP finally enabled Chromecast support.

It's not difficult to create a Chromecast profile for Serviio at your computer, as far as I know. It's just that I haven't created one yet as everything played with no problems for me, with the generic profile. If I find the time, I will create one.
PS: This is a guide for adding/editing a profile at Serviio

Plex

Hello,
I would like to know if Fire 7 or 8 is able to play videos on a local Plex server with the Plex application ?
Is wifi good enough for this ?
Does the tablet support 1080p files?
Thanks

My wife uses a fire 7 tablet from 2015 to watch plex. Works on wifi with no issue.
