Plex for Android looks incredible on the 7.7 and works perfectly! I'm running the Plex Server on my MacBook Air over a WiFi n network.
thanks for pointing this out. I am using a boxee box but this seems like a fantastic way to stream my media to the tab!

I was looking for a boxee app because I had that running on my Mac for iPad streaming but there doesn't appear to be a Boxee client for Android. Anyway, Plex is much better - it does iPhoto as well!
Im missing some options. Like an option to select subtitle and symc the subs. Is it there and im missing it or does it lack this option

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.
BubbleUPnP and make a DLNA server, I use it to connect to my TV and Xbox.

+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

I haven't tried mkv files yet...
I will try it out...
Apparently, it's not possible to natively cast YouTube LIVE streams via Chromecast to your TV. Are you serious Google ?! C'mon...
Lolla?
Yeah YouTube live streams are weird. You cant stream them on the Xbox either. Only mobile and straight up pc.

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.
I have uploaded many videos to Facebook.
How can I stream them to my TV via. Chromecast?
If you cast your screen you can play to your TV via Chromecast.

There is video lag when you stream the whole screen. The framerate doesn't keep up.
