hello to all! one question.. i want to buy a nas for save my photo - mp3 - documents from my note to it. do you know if it's possible? how can i do that? thank you
Look into the synology devices. They have android apps for music and photo.
So i could upload file to my nas with an app for android?

I can highly recommend a synology too. If you get one check synodroid if you're into torrents.
And yes, you can upload from anywhere to it. I do it via ftp.

just use something like andsmb in market, and use whatever network share or nas...
Id agree synology have always satisfied my needs great value great frontend great compatibility

All recent NAS are DLNA compilant. Of all known manufacturers.
The best known manufacturers are Synology and QNAP. I own one of both and I actually prefer the QNAP to the Synology, QNAP seems more "adult", more serious, than Synology with all the flashy and glimmery interface. Unfortunately my TV did not work well with the TwonkyMedia server QNAP uses in their products, so I had to use the Synology as my main NAS.
Every NAS known to me offers FTP and SMB access. Android can do both with the right tools at hand, so you can even chose what kind of connection you'd like.
You could check out Foldersync from the Market. It can sync with a lot of services/protocols incl. Webdav and cifs. I use it to autosync some stuff every night from my phone to my home pc. It also have tasker support, so you also could start the sync right after you come home and it connects to your home wifi...
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 am thinking about getting the raspberry pi and load xbmc onto it. I will probably be buying a WiFi dongle. How do I exactly setup up the WiFi for the pi? Do I need to hook it up to an Ethernet port first or no?

Fortunately it's pretty simple to set up the WiFi on the RPi, all you have to do is plug the WiFi dongle into one of the USB ports and then connect to your wireless router WiFi network through XBMC and you should be good to go. You shouldn't have to hook the RPi up to Ethernet first to get internet setup. My other recommendation would be to check out this guide if you run into problems http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals and this list of WiFi dongles that have been tested and verified to work with the RPi.

Hi,
Setting the WIFI dongle up is fairly easy you will need to load XBMX onto your PI and boot this up with the ethernet cable attatched. Go to settings and find the PI's IP address. Write this down.
Plug your WIFI dongle into the PI also.
You will then need to download a program called PUTTY onto your pc or laptop. You should start a SSH session on the IP you have wrote down.
Login in using username:XBMC Password:rasperry
Once you have done this go into settings and find WLAN. Click on this and put the the SSID of your internet service provider and your PASSKEY. then end PUTTY.
Reboot your PI and hey presto your WIFI dongle will be working
If this helps please hit thanks. If you get stuck I have a youtube video with the SSH session on XBIAN (same thing) just PM me
Peace

So it is not required to book the pi up with an Ethernet cable first if I understand you correctly right?

Yes thats correct. Boot the PI up with the ethernet cable plugged in, obtain the IP from the settings in XBMC. Then on a pc or laptop do the putty SSH session using this IP and log in and enable WLAN and input the SSID and Passkey
Hope this helps
Also if I plan to use xbmc do I have to buy any licenses? I am confused about that as well. If so which ones?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Hiya. I believe if you use raspbmc which is a Linux distro there is no licensing, same with xbmx and xbian. I Do however believe you have to buy mpeg2 licenses.
Hope this helps and best of luck maybe post a pic of your finished pi project for us all to see I'm still tinkering at the moment but I would recommend a powered usb hub it has been my saviour the past few weeks.

Oh and something else that is awesome if you go for a xmbc raspbmc or xbian openelec etc.
Download an app called yatse. (for the record I bought the full version) this allows you to control the pi with your nexus I use it all the time just scan for the pi once your wireless working and do it from your phone haha

What exactly does the mpeg-2 license allow me to do exactly?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I didn't buy any licence and I have no problems playing anything. It would all depend what format your media is. Most of my stuff is h264 aka mpeg4. I don't think I've even ever seen a file encoded in mpeg2 as it is older and less efficient then current standards

So if I am just streaming stuff off of xbmc plug-ins like 1channel I would not need the licenses?

I doubt it. If you find you do have issues you can always purchase the licence at a later time

I have another question. I have seen people getting Pandora and Hulu getting to work on their raspberry pi running xbmc. How can I install/ get both of those add ons

If your looking to install Hulu on XBMC I would recommend taking a look at this guide, it involves mainly installing the Bluecop repository. For getting Pandora working I would recommend taking a look at this guide here.

For the Pandora add on, how do I make the necessary edits?

You actually don't have to make the edits you can download the .zip file containing the edits already made for you here. Once you have downloaded the .zip file extract the contents and place them in your addon folder.
Suggestion: go on eBay and search for "ew-7811un". Save yourself a lot of headache and BUY ONE lol. It's an Edimax wifi dongle. It's tiny, and works with Rasperry Pi right outta the box, no setup required. You'll need a wireless mouse just to pick the router and enter your wifi password, etc.
Another suggestion: get a *powered* USB 2.0 hub, and plug it into the Pi. Use only one of the USB ports on the Pi, for the hub, don't use the other one. The Pi is severely underpowered, and the USB hub will solve that for you (if it's a powered hub, of course). Plug the wifi dongle and the wireless mouse into the hub.
Final suggestion: get the OpenELEC distribution of XBMC for Pi. It's AMAZING, especially with the ACE skin (which you can download right from the Pi in the Settings menu after installing - see attached pic). The only downside is that OpenELEC is a locked distribution, meaning you can't add repositories that are not listed as "add-ons" via the gui itself.
What I have is the above, plus a large external hard disk connected to my network via my internet service provider's wireless modem. Basically, it shows up as a network drive on any device connected to my wifi network. It allows me to download (ahem, I mean "purchase") movies, music, videos etc through my laptop, directly onto the network drive, and then instantly play them via the Pi as a SMB share.
Hope this helps.

anything with artheos chip should be fine, there are good drivers for this kind of dongle
You could also while on Ethernet download the Wifi Tool in the Raspberry XBMC repository and then you have a GUI for configuring your WiFi device within the XBMC interface as long as you have a supported adapter.
I appreciate all the responses about the wifi dongle but I have already solved that problem and got my wifi to work.

Hello everyone.
I am currently residing in Canada and watching lots of Netflix and Downloaded torrent shows and movies. For now my laptop is connected
directly to my tv via hdmi cable and that's how i watch all my shows. I am using chrome browser and mediahint extension in order to get US netflix in Canada and its working great! My question is what is the best way to resume that once i get my chromecast? I found this article
http://thestreamingadvisor.com/2014...e-with-experimental-full-screen-cast-feature/
Has anyone done this and does it work? Is there another way of doing it?
Thank you!
Is this what you're looking for?

Real player used to support RTSP (probably still does) but that doesn't mean it will support Casting to a CCast.
I saw that tiny cam pro has chromecast support, but I can't get my cameras to pull up on the app so I am not waisting my money on the pro version. I just tested on the lite free version.

Seems everyone is charging for the CCast support these days! LOL
Yeah I would be sure it will work before you buy and if it can't do it in the app itself no way it will work with CCast.
