I know there is no MHL - even tested to be positive and it doesn't work - however, wondering what other options potentially exist for screen mirroring to a TV?
Not interested in DLNA (I've used Skifka/similar and it's good) but I want to mirror so I can stream anything from the N7 (games, Hulu, etc.) to my TV.
Thanks!

Roku juice if you own a Roku for some content, I don't think games, but I haven't tried...

"Android transporter" with a raspberry pi may be an option in the near future. I already have a RPi, so this would be awesome for me.

Does it support Hulu or other streaming services, or just media that's on your local device? If the latter then it's the same as DLNA/Skifka.

if you have a Roku hooked up to your TV already, there are separate channels for things like Hulu and Netflix. You would stream to Roku direct over wifi from internet, not through the android device. The Roku juice channel and application just enables you to stream media from the android to the TV through Roku. I have only tried it for pictures, and not with Jellybean yet at all. I doubt it works unless the media is located on your android. I can test tonight when I get home, I'm at work now.

I am not sure if it will even support WiFI Direct Display mirroring as has been demoed on the OMAP 4 series chipset. As, that was one of the advantages the OMAP4 had over the Tegra 3. In either case we haven't seen a lot happen with that either.
Just an update to my post, I tested the Roku juice demo on the nexus 7, it seems to work for local media and had a podcast option I didn't know what to do with. But no streaming of games.

If i get install the Nexus & with the plex app and use it to stream the content to the roku box ( $50) version would that work always for audio video and images? And when I have the roku and the tablet set u on the same wifi network...would streaming from my nexus to the roku use my data or bandwidth?

You would install Plex server on a PC, and the Plex media channel on the Roku, and/or Plex media app on the android device. With this setup, you could stream videos from your PC, or from the Internet (if using Internet channels like Hulu) to either the Roku, or to your Android device. The Roku uses your wifi network, android devices can use wifi or cellphone data.
If you are trying to stream a video saved on your android device to your TV, then you don't use Plex. You would need Roku juice installed on the android and on the Roku box too. Note, I only tried this with their demo app, which is limited to the first video and I did not see the Transformers video in the list. I don't know if that is a demo limitation, or if the Roku juice app can only stream videos you record on your android device.

DivX is not a (generally) DLNA-approved standard perhaps?
You will need to check the manual/website for your particular TV. For example:

Hey Guys,
I have been reading a lot and noticed that there are hacks to play local files.
This sound old school but do you think there is a way to play/cast a dvd disc from my PC?
Thanks!
Your video would be transcended and look horrible. The hacks that you speak of are not available to the mass yet. Well at least the apps that will not transcode your video. Waiting on Google to approve SDK. Basically if the cool apps that may even stream your DVDs was released now,
... It wouldn't work on your device.

In theory yes, you can stream the PC screen while you are playing a DVD on screen to Chromecast, but its a beta feature and its not as smooth as casting from the chrome browser.
I can say that I have streamed the desktop screen and it works, but can be jumpy depending on what's being displayed. Results will vary depending on your router / LAN/ Wifi / PC speed.
How do you cast your screen? I thought you could only cast you're Chrome browser tabs..?

Hello,
I recently read on Tech Crunch that Google added an update to Google Glass that allowed it to play video.
Does any one know what types of video formats Google allows to play on Google Glass?
Thanks

not entirely sure, but i believe it's touting it's ability to play videos from YouTube and such. which it does incredibly well.
Has anyone else noticed you can't stream or download HD movies from Google Play with the Z1? Is it just me?
This phone is far superior to my old N4 which could. Is there a fix? Does anyone know why we can't?
Thanks for reading.
