I want to watch movies on my TV in the bedroom using the HDMI output of the phone and getting the movies wirelessly from my PC?
I already have the NHL adapter and the HDMI cable, so what would be the best solution for getting the movies to the phone?
p.s.
are there any advantages/disdavtanges of downloading the movies on the phone directly VS wirelessly getting them from the PC?

Install allshare on your computer and then use imediashare or similar dlna app to show it on your phone/tv.

theres an app, skifta, which does that.but for that your tv has to be dlna compatible.
Heres my setup. I have dlna server on my mac, TVMOBILI, where all my vids are. I open skifta, select it as source and play it on my dlna certified LG LW5600 TV.
Other options, I am not very familiar with. To play from MHL(HDMI), it mirrors the screen of your phone basically. So yes, technically, you could set up a dlna server on your pc, then use skifta to play it on your phone from pc, and then connect MHL so that the output gets mirrored on the TV. This solution is in case your TV is not DLNA certified.

So, what I said ;-P
Imediashare let's you select which device to show it on (ps3/dlna compatible tv/phone).
It also supports windows mediaplayer, so if you have that set up you don't need allshare.

oops, you just got it before me...anyways, its not skifta, its imediashare. my bad, i messed up the apps.
Yea, imediashare is pretty awesome.
I use TVersity to stream movies from my PC to my tablet, phone, and GTV. Works nicely, but you have to access the movie through the browser, which then opens it in whatever media player you want.

Personally, I'm a pretty big fan of Plex. Although I did already have everything set up on my media server so I suppose I'm a bit biased. Seemingly working fine via MHL to HDMI adapter. :]

i think best solution is skifta:
you only need a Se7en running pc(where you have all yours 'shared' multimedia stuff), your galaxy nexus and a wifi net.
Open skyfta on yous GN, select your pc as 'source' and your nexus as 'player', browse your movie and play it! (i suggest MX video player on Galaxy Nexus)
if your tv it's dnla certified, connect it to your wifi.... then from skyfta on nexus, select as 'player' your tv

I wonder, is it possible to connect the Note to a TV set without NHL or other wired setups? Is there any kind of dongle one can connect to the TV to receive audio/video by Bluetooth or wifi?

U can, if the TV do have DLNA and just connect it wireless.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEFdjqmgngA
Do you want to stream content from the phone or see the phone screen on the TV?
DLNA would cover the 1st option - the built-in Allshare app turns the phone into a DLNA compliant server.
For the 2nd option, you could either use and MHL cable with a wireless HDMI setup or use something Android VNC Server from a PC attached to the TV.
I use imediashare from the market to stream to my apple tv2... works great. Works with an Xbox and lots of other things too.

Allshare works fine. I have connected my PC, LED and phone. Cool thing to show off as well.
Thanks, the latter.I might use one of my Nokia internet tablets to setup vnc and hook it to my TV. Won't be quick enough for gaming and streaming, though.
The wireless hdmi setup requires too many things attached to the Note to be comfortable.

The Allshare works great, running with a Samsung UNC55D8000. Images video crisp clear and very fast sync.
Is there any wireless Mirroring on the horizon?

Allshare works fine between TV and phone, but the PC client has difficulties with shared folders. It keeps delisting my media folders, and now even unable to add any folders at all.
Try Qloud Media Free in the market

Plasma TV without DLNA
Hi guys,
I have a LG Plasma TV without DLNA but with USB ports and HDMI ports.
I know I can connect my Note with the MHL cable but would like to explore the wireless options.
1) If I try to plug a wifi usb stick to the Plasma TV, will it work ?
2) If not, what are the other available options ?
thanks

OK, but will it work if I plug in a wireless usb dongle on the LG Plasma TV (which does not have the DNLA) ?
Please can someone confirm which app you guys are talking about to stream to the ps3 for movies download from my phone.
Thanks guys

Unlikely, the USB port on your TV is likely only for connecting a USB memory stick or hard-drive to display photos and possibly videos. If your TV's firmware had support for a wireless USB dongle it would also likely be DLNA compliant.
Hi thanks. I have heard about HDMI (one side) to wireless (the other side) connection for example for HTC (HTC Media Link). Do we have similar things for Samsung Galaxy Note?

Well, there's the HTC Media Link for starters!
However, this only offers DLNA streaming, not full display mirroring.
The HTC Media Link HD does offer display mirroring, but only when partnered with an HTC One X or S.

Dave
OK,
So what are the available options for me (owner of the galaxy note and a HDTV without DLNA but with HDMI).
Is it only the MHL cable then ? Any other options to mirror or wirelessly stream ?
I saw an adapter for the Galaxy III which connects to the phone through wifi direct and to the TV set through hdmi cable. It's exactly what I wanted.
Hope out works for the Note, too, when it's available.

If your TV doesn't have dnla, Then get a dnla ready home theater / blue ray player
Those are your only two choices for wireless streaming from your Note to your TV. And it works really well.

Through DNLA or some other method can you output your Galaxy SIII screen to your TV Through a PS3?
I have installed Skifta and my PS3 see the files that i share. but anyway that i can stream my screen to my PS3?

Yes, it would; but the only thing the PS will be 'picking up' is whatever media it's streaming from the phone. It would never actually show the phone's home screen or whatever as DNLA only allows one device to browse and play the media stored on another device.
The absolutely only way to display on your TV exactly what's showing on the phone's screen is via a direct HDMI cable connection from the phone to the TV.
I'm not sure why you would want to?
Take out the middle man and output straight to the tv...
Hi all.
I don't know why this seems to be such a difficult thing to do but I can't seem to get a straight answer.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, my wife has a Sensation XE and we both will soon have Nexus 7 and/or Nexus 10 - possibly. What I want to achieve is a way to send video content including things like netflix from our devices to our TV wirelessly.
I don't want to have seperate receivers etc for each device but I am happy for a software solution if a hardware one is not available.
Thanks
im not sure about netflix and stuff because i don't use it, but when you have any videos theres a button on the top with like a small tv and 3 lines or so all together like a little symbol, your tv provided its a samsung, should be connected on the same wifi as your phone and all you have to do is clack that button and it should work.
As for youtube which is what i sometimes use, i just pair it with the TV and it connects straight away.. really simple
This looks similar to what your after .

I've tried that with an app called 'Skifta' to a laptop running xbmc (for testing purposes) but it only supports local content and a select few stations/channels of which netflix isn't one. My TV is a 6 year old Bush LCD IDTV so no DLNA

yes allshare cast works on older tv which are not smart tv.
if your samsung tv is new it would be dlna or smart tv so you wont need that allshare cast

Sorry, what I meant was, does allshare cast work with non-samsung phones/tablets (see OP).
I don't have a samsung TV nor can I afford one.
Well, it's a hardware solution, and right now is a lil bit on the pricey side. Gigabyte skyvision ws100.
The advantage, you can use it with whatever devices with hdmi i/o capability. It seems it pretty much works flawlessly and without lag, if I had came across it couple of months before I might have bought one instead a 30m+ HDMI cable than runs from my PC to the TV in the living room. If I had, now I could easily switch between PC (gaming), laptop (movie watching), and now phones (occasional viewing of photos and stuff). And, I could use it to stream av to the projector in our bedroom.... might still consider this Christmas.
Best regards.
The device is called Allshare cast dongle. It works with any TV with HDMI port. Plugs in to the hdmi port and you connects your to galaxy device over "wifi direct" (you dont need a wifi network for this to work). Its not sold in North America (thanks to apple) but is widely available on amazon and ebay for under $100.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I shall investigate. The problem with cables however is that the devices have different HDMI outputs (if at all) hence wanting wireless solution.

I'm aware of the allshare dongle but I need it to work with more than samsung devices (see OP)
Would ANYBODY know ?
[/B]Does anybody know if it's possible to mirror the phone onto a smart tv without the use of a dongle????
and i don't mean videos, i mean complete mirroring???[/B]
I spent my entire day to figure out the best way to connect my xperia ZL to a HDTV. What I want to do on my tv is:
a)Play all my music, tons of Mp3 in my phone.
b) Plays youtube video, sometimes I have friends over and its fun to watch music video or even dance with them (lounchign playlists)
c)Browse the web on the tv.
At first I thought to buy a smart tv, but then after reading all the reviews it is not really worth it. Cause people say that browsing the web with smart tv is a pain, and most of them do not have an hard drive where I can store my music to be played, and the utube app does not have the option to add adblock in order to play a youtube compilation seamlessly when I have a gathering/party. Therefore I decided to buy a standard tv and mirrow/share my phone screen to the TV. The available options are:
1)Connect by cable. Here I need to buy an MHL to HDMI Adapter + an HDMI cable. This seems like a good solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHa56Dm2j_8 . Wireless mouse and keyboard are an extra, I might just buy a 15 feet long HDMI cable that goes from the TV to my couch and use the phone. Do you have any experience on this? what MHL to HDMI Adapter works for the ZL (the one one the youtube video works for Z not sure for ZL)
2) Connect via the Throw sony feature. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRV1u6qLWg I need either bluetooth or wifi on the TV, and it only works for 3 applications (walkman, album and video). You cannot throw youtube video. It could be an extra fast option to throw my music to the TV in case I am walking around the house but it would not be the solution for all the three a), b) and c) points I posted above. So this is excluded.
3)Using Chromecast. Seems like a good option. I dont know how fast and responsive it would be but it allows you to share the internet chrome browser and play utube video. But does not allow playing music I guess. And I guess no option to launch ad-free utube playlists since it would use the chromecast app to play video rite?
4)Using a android mini PC.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvozNRIms78. I did not dig into it too much. It has an harddrive where i can copy my music...but im not sure its convenient.
5)using the mirroring screen capability under settings-> display-> screen mirroring.It seems like I need a Miracast wifi gadget to add to my TV, like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgCDlrzqgdM . Cons: in the comments of the video it is said that you cannot connect to the wifi while you are mirroring, only 3G/4G I guess. What do you guys think?
6) Using NFC. Here is a ufficial video, but guys I have no idea what TV i should buy for doing this.
For what I have understood the easiest way is the old way via cable (point (1)). The only thing I am not sure of is: how can I charge my phone if the micro USB outlet is used buy the MHL to HDMI Adapter?? In 1 hour of browsing my phone will die!! could u enlighten me please?
As for wireless options, I like Miracast, but not sure if the fact that I am stuck on browsing with my 3G/4G network might be a problem. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks
A.
I'm using Chromecast, it's amazing for YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Movies and Music (for while)!

Yes, i can watch the video stream, frame rate is normal, if you have enough internet speed you might watch too.
With this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionsmicro.ezcast&hl almost everything are possible!
You need only wireless access point, TV with HDMI and Wi-Fi Dongle!
I have tried to watch video in filmon.com via ACE2 today - result you can see here - http://yadi.sk/d/4--hK3zhMa4ts
I even can watch mkv files in HD quality via smb server.
You only can't play in games on TV because ACE2 hasn't screenmirroring option.
