Wirelessly Mirror Android on Projector?

Does anyone know if it's possible to basically "stream" the screen to a projector? I'm thinking of an app that would have a server running on the desktop PC, where the Nook would wirelessly connect to that PC and display the screen of the Android on the projector.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or if there is an "app for that"?

i dont think the nook is suited for that kind of activity, you would need something like the droidx, which has a mini-hdmi output, then you can get an app to mirror the screen.
im not really sure of the benefit of streaming an android screen to a projector when the whole computer is there available to you? if its an issue of video content, there are a lot of other solutions that would work, if nothing else, a usb cable to mount the nook and access the video files through a desktop application

I think there are vnc servers for Android phones. If you need this for any video, it'll probably suck.

The main use case is for during a presentation, to be able to see the slides as they are shown on the projector, and potentially see the notes and such. It would be a super bonus to be able to make notations/drawings, etc., during the powerpoint if that's possible.

a more hardcore solution
not sure if this would help, but I came across a similar problem where I was doing a presentation so I wrote an air app for my galaxy tab, and one for a mac running a projector and used the netconnection and netgroup classes to send position and navigation data from one to the other. Have a look at the RTMFP protocol

Tab casting to multiple chomecasts?

well, i guess my plan has failed unless someone has a different idea. so i was planning on casting to
multiple chromecasts from the same pc. i can't get this to work unfortunately. i was hoping to do this only for football so i could have different games on each tv and with a powerhouse pc i think it could handle it, but i don't get the option in tab casting. once you start casting you don't have the option to continue casting and start up on the other chromecast.
maybe i'm doing something wrong? anyone else have a solution?
i know that i could use another pc, tablet, etc but nothing is powerful enough aside from my pc to cast in 720p without stuttering.

Not really a solution, but an "HDMI Splitter" can help in your scenario. So, instead of buying multiple chromecasts, you could cast to single chromecast and then mirror the display on all TVs.

Edit: Seems like you want to watch different games. Above is not going to help you.

Yeah....I'm looking for different content on each tv

Ok. You basically need a work around so you can run multiple instances of chrome.
Try searching for virtual desktop software for your operating system.

Here is a workaround to stream from 2 or more browsers.
1) Create a chrome shortcut (other then your current).
2) Right click the shortcut and select Properties.
3) On the Shortcut tab, edit the target to look as follows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir=D:\Chrome\ProfileName
The bold is what you will need to add, this will have this chrome shortcut use a new profile, so it will allow you to stream to a different chromecast.
My goal was to do this with NFL Sunday Ticket HOWEVER, you cannot log into the NFL Sunday Ticket from a different browser (it limits you to one login at a time...) so if you happen to be trying the same thing and find a workaround for that, I'd love to know.

[Q] Raspberry Pi B+ "Cloud"

Hey guys,
at the moment I am running Samba on my Pi to sync files from my Nexus 5 with Foldersync to an external drive connected to the Pi. I'm getting ~700kb/s while syncing and I also tried setting up an ftp server which was at ~1,5MB/s. The problem with ftp is the risk of incomplete file transfers so I don't want to use that.. But I wonder if there are any good alternatives to my setup. I also tried WebDAV but the speed is similar to Samba. I read something about Bittorrent Sync, do you think it would be faster? Or do you have other recommendations?
Greetings

Cast movies/TV shows from iPhone?

I searched and didn't find anything, so I'm asking now
Can I cast movies/TV shows I've synced to my iPhone 6 to my Chromecast? Or should I just buy the Apple TV?

I'm sure it can be done with the correct app. Although I get the Chromecast connection with OPlayer lite (videos in mp4 as per their directions), it doesn't cast. Rocket cast (? name) won't let me access my PC or RavPower streaming device without an upgrade. It does show the two macs in the house, but I didn't try to access them. Hopefully someone who has done this will tell us which app. I have Android devices which work perfectly with all my local and web streaming, but half of the family is Apple so I'd like to know (I'm the tekky).

The best way to do this is through an android device as a proxy, i.e., use AirPlay to send stuff from iOS to the android proxy, which then converts and sends to chromecast. The proxy does not display anything, just as hidden bridge.

OK. I was approaching this from DRM free videos which I'd already set up as mp4's, but I think you are talking iTunes' purchases for which Apple TV is the easy solution due to the Apple infrastructure. I think the Android proxy server idea may break you out of the Apple stronghold. I just want an app that will let me discover local then cast local (not local to the device but to the Wi-Fi environment) videos--if that's possible.

For casting local videos from iOS to Chromecast, it should be very easy, I am surprised that you couldn't find an app on that.
The approach I am talking about is more of generic one, basically AirPlay to chromecast, we are developing such an app. It is AirPlay receiver , in the meantime also a proxy to chromecast

Show site, image or file with Chromecast on TV

Hello there,
I want to use my Chromecast to view a Web site, an image or a file (e.g. HTML file) on a screen. Basically, to be informed about an Android app or website Chromecast that he opens it independently and then displays without further interaction.
According to the Google Developer Page developers.google.com/cast/docs/custom_receiver , this should be possible.
Actually this principle is already being used in media libraries or the Youtube app. Are there any specific examples or information about development?
Mfg,
Sissie

Firefox for Android can do that by its own . Also by using screen mirroing all web browsers too

Yeah thats true. But i want to tell the Chromecast with a selfmade website, show me websites from my webserver on the TV and it should refresh on its own.
After that the Computer should be turned off, so that you must configure it only one time.
I only want to now if this is possible and if i need a Chromecast App and a Website.

IIRC Vbukit can display a website. Not sure if it refreshes on its own though.
