I don't know if anyone can help me but I figured I could ask. I have a LG BluRay DVD Home theater System that has DLNA ability that is hooked to my HD tv that is not. My home theater reciever is not currently hooked up to my wireless network but I see that the receiver does have a ethernet port in the back. I am mainly trying to connect my galaxy s3 to my tv to stream video etc. Does anyone know if I direct connect the DLNA capable home theater receiver to my wireless router, which will connect it to my wireless network, will I then be able to send info from my galaxy s3 to my theater system which will show up on my TV? Sorry for the noob question but i got to start somewhere.....Any information will help based on my situation of not having a DLNA capable TV lol
Unless i am wrong i dont think you can stream video from your device to the tv. IT has to be content loaded on y our device. Like a movie, song or picture.
Hulu and Netflix and anything you can watch on your device via streaming method will only display on your screen or if you have an MHL adapter.
By using the DLNA app it acts as a media server so you can use your tv/bluray device to brows certain media types on your phone and play them on your tv.
My PS3 is hooked up to my router via the RJ45 jack, and my phone is on the same network via WiFi. They will see each other.
As long as its the same network and the devices are DLNA compatible you should be able to get content off your phone and onto the TV.

As the title goes really can you send a TV signal down the socket througha home made adapter lets say to display video from phone to TV? Something similar to what the N95 did via the audo jack?
No.
You could always use DLNA to stream stuff from your phone to your tv (if your tv supports it)
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 have a Panasonic TCP50S30 plasma TV which supports DLNA and is connected to my home network via wired ethernet. On the Panasonic I can use it's DLNA browser to browse content on my PlayStation3 and Computer and even on the Galaxy S3 if I turn on DLNA file sharing. Shouldn't I be able to send videos and photos to the TV from my Galaxy S3? When I click that TV icon in the photo or video browser it only shows my WDTV Live Player and nothing else. When I look in Fing it shows my Panasonic TV on the network and the TV is powered on.
Has anyone been able to send content to a DLNA capable 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

Does allshare cast work on non-samsung devices? I'll look at WD LiveTV

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 can see my TV in the "Wireless Displays" menu and also the YouTube app offers to stream to the tv but it wont connect for some reason.
Anyone using their Samsung Smart TV as a wireless display for the N7 flo?
I read people are using push2tv devices such as the Netgear PTV3000 but doesn't the smart tv have that technology built in? I am able to stream video content to my tv over wifi with apps like BubbleUPnP.

I have a Note2 but with Paranoid android means it doesnt have any Samsung features but offers Miracast instead.
Unfortunally Allshare Cast is modifyed Miracast and i think thats the point (its not working for me too)
and unfortunally Miracast from Windows 8.1 does not work too.
I also flashed the stock Rom to get all Samsung features but strangely i get a disconnect even with real allshare Cast , i think i have to write the samsung support maybe the tv has some sort of mailfunction
