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.

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?

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?
Hi friends;
I have LG Smart TV 2013 model.
TV has miracast function .
I want to buy HTC One.
Has HTC One Screen mirroring function like Samsung Galaxy S4?
Galaxy S4 connect to tv wirelessly without using any adapter/dongle.(e.g. Netgear)
I want connect HTC One's screen to my LG TV wirelessly.
Up
According to this video, yes the function does work.
the built-in gallery app offers limited support for mirroring photos and videos; I am using skifta which does a better job imo, not only that but you can play content from another dlna source

You mention about DLNA.
With DLNA i only watch videos , pictures on my tv wirelessly.
I have HTC HD2 and already i can use DLNA
I want to see HTC One's screen on TV without any addional device(eg; Netgear, HTC Media link)
This is screen mirroring or miracast
For Example: In this video you can see miracast function LG optimus G between LG LA smart TV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts6kP-qFgAo
then there's only mhl or dedicated miracast device via wi-fi

I use mine through dlna all the time works through my Samsung tv and house internet it's great because you play the video and can still use the phone at the same time I also use a otg cable and plug my 64gb Usb stick in and transfer files to and from

yeap, dlna's fine but miracast or airplay allows you to mirror your screen on the TV. think racing games, presentations and so on

As a result; I think I can't watch HTC One's screen on Tv wirelessly without any additional device
If you want wireless display(miracast) ; HTC says "Buy Media Link"

Hi, I just want to bring good news: Miracast has been fixed for HTC One! The 4.3 update brings Android's native implementation of the technology, and now I can mirror my phone screen to my Sony KDL42W653 tv (did not work before)!

Hi, Can you let me know how you managed this? I am trying to mirror the display on my HTC One (Jelly Bean) to the Sony KDL-50W656A TV via Screen Mirroring function on the TV.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've read somewhere that miracast it's not working on custom roms WITH sense for HTC One (I've tried ARHD with no success). This means that miracast might work with GPE roms. As I said I've tried ARHD with LG and Sony TVs, no good, The TVs see the HTC One but when they're about to connect it fails. I can use DLNA though, but it's not what I really need.
so i tried playing some netflix through miracast but i got no video, just the sound and subtitles. does anyone know why and how i can fix it?

I'm curious as well. I wonder if the galaxy S5 has the same issue. If miracast works on the S5, then it could be addressed in a ROM update
lg g2 doesn't have the issue...

come on people. seriously?! XDA can solve the complex "where is my power button" issue, or the "how do I run an app" problem, but it can't help me with a miracast issue? a feature standard in all kitkat androids?
who has a solution or idea? or where can I find a real android forum

I'm also having this problem on an HTC One m7 but it works just fine on an LG 8.3 v500.
Really interested in a possible solution. I've tried various HDCP settings to no avail. Does it have anything to do with HDCP?
What roms have you tried? What kernels? What miracast dongles?
Roms:
viper 6.2.1
slimrom 4.4
Kernels:
stock viper
stock slimrom
I ordered the offical HTC Media Link HD H200 to try out so we'll see how that works.
So far the Belkin ~$50 one doesn't work (HDMI 2.0) returned and can't remember the model. FD something maybe.
Also might be worth trying this (I haven't yet): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13952221&postcount=722
Stock and gpe. Stock 1.651.10 didn't display netflix even though everything else works, gpe 4.4.4 didn't connect to miracast at all. I have the netgear push2tv and my old lg g2 had no problem casting netflix it's just this phone
I've yet to try with 2.x.x.x my miracast dongle is with the rest of my household goods getting speed at the moment
Also what they talk about in that link doesn't seem relevant

The link is partially about DRM from my understanding but yeah I think if its showing on your phone at all, it's not a DRM issue.
Sigh... HTC Media Link HD was a waste of time - couldn't get it to connect at all. Chromecast works perfectly however.
Ordered 2 other miracast dongles to try out but likely won't matter since it's something with the phone.
According to this: http://iezcast.com/bbs-en/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=862 - a firmware update to a dongle seems to have fixed the issue for a nexus 7 user.

HTC Media Link won't show picture from netflix while streaming now since I've updated the os.
Just wanted to add to this a little. I'm seeing the exact same thing on a verizon M8 with the push2TV miracast adapter, and with the miracast functionality built into a samsung TV. Seems like the problem is likely on our end.
Submit a ticket to HTC. Anyone having this problem should.
Any update on this? I modified the build.prop to get miracast working on my Nexus 6, but Netflix still displays a black screen with audio using my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. It works fine on a friends Note 4. What's up?

Had the same problem, if this answer is not too late, found my solution, video plays again from my Sprint HTC One m7 and have another download link for a mod on Netflix's app, raising the bitrate tremendously!!!!

yes
manually Boot an older version of Netflix, turn off auto updates.
I have the same problem with win10 tablet, win 10 laptop, redmi note 2, 3, ulefone power, Samsung galaxy Tab 3 and every other device I could find to miracast Netflix. Everything is ok untill I press play, then...black screen, sound and subs.
I guess it has something to do with Netflix.
anyone else got their media link and its not doing dual screen? only mirroring?..let me know what i gotta do...or sense 6 is not supported
I haven't used mine with my m8 yet, but it mirrors the screen unless you're playing a video. Only when playing video to the TV can you then use the phone for other things while it continues playing on the TV.
I'm not aware of any other dual screen functionality.

Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has found out how to get Netflix working at better than 720x480 @ 1750kbps on our S6 Active? I can't imagine that our phone can't support 5800kbps 1920x1080p. I was testing on my 300mb/30mb WiFi that easily supports 5800kbps playback on my laptop and Apple TV.
I've tried the discontinued APK on XDA from Keychar. The app crashes after logging in. Is there another APK that works?
