Is there any Android app that you can stream pictures from your PC? A similar app for IOS is called BlinQ, used to be CinQ that you install on your pc that runs a server so your device can connect to it and view pictures stored.

I have recently bought a Tablet with Android 2.2 OS and I want to stream my 1000+ movies compressed with divix and h264. All have the AVI file extension. They are shared on my home network. My goal is to be able to stream these files to to my tablet. After searching most the day for which app to use I have come to the conclusion that there are many different way to accomplish this, some good, some bad.
I loaded Skifta on my PC and tablet and can now see the files but it says It cant play the file. Best way to accomplish this as google turns up 20 ways from sunday to stream AVI but which is best. I do like the fact that Skifta can access ones videos even away from home in a wireless hotspots. I was also looking at VLC but don't want to purchase something that won't work.
How to get videos from android to the wii (hacked of course). I have tried to just plug in a usb cord in the back like I do for my psp but every time I go into an app for watching movies it wont show my phone. I know I can just take the sd card out but its a real pain to take the back off my phone and the case I have on it too.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am now wondering whether it will be possible for me to stream an Android Game to my PC from my phone?
The thing is, that my PC is not so good in terms of gaming specs, so, I am unable to play good quality games on it..
But! My phone - HTC One X, on the other hand is quite good. (Few titles on Android are really enjoyable!)
So, can I, without using any DLNA, HDMI cable (Reason - My PC Sucks) stream the game?
I just want to use my PC Monitor as a larger screen. I dont want Keyboard, Mouse Controls...
the Android Browser is not streaming the video, it forces it to download it first to play it in the Android Player or some other video app I have on the phone (The Daily Motion website won't even play videos, it shut plays audio). On my old iPhone, I would touch a video and it would stream through the browser, Chrome, Dolphin, Safari, etc. But with Android, it always wants me to download or try to play through an app which doesn't work or it just doesn't work. I have tried, Dolphin, Boat, Chrome, Opera, Baidu... none of them just play the video with problems. I didn't have this issue with iPhone, and it's kinda upsetting that I have such powerful hardware (Galaxy Note 3) and stuff just doesn't work like it should.I thought it was just my phone, but i tried it on my friend's HTC One and got the same results, so it must be an Android issue.

My wife wants a TV in the bedroom, but I am wondering if a tablet would be better for our situation. It would allow her to watch TV in any room she wanted, plus all the other great features of having a tablet.
I stream music from Pandora and an app for local radio (tune in) quite a bit. But I've noticed a very annoying clicking/popping sound while listening. I've tried adjusting the stream quality in Pandora and the buffer amount in tune-in to no avail.
Tune-in has an option to change the current stream for the station if available (in my case aac to wma) and wma does not have the clicking sounds. My best guess is that Pandora uses aac to stream music.

I have my primary android phone (Nexus 4) and an old android phone (MyTouch 4g). I would like to set up an "AirPlay" like system on a nice (but outdated) stereo system using DLNA. I was thinking about doing this by using my primary phone as the Digital Media Server (DMS), and my old android phone as the Digital Media Player (DMP).
See Digital Living Network Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for more info on DLNA.
The primary phone - DMS, would be used to send the music to the old phone - DMP, which would then output the music via 3.5mm jack into the aux on my stereo. The only downfall I can think of to this setup would be the fact that I would have to dedicate a phone to the stereo, but that's not a problem because I don't use it anyway!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'd like to install an Android device (tablet, smartphone, computer or whatever) into my car.
The purpose is to listen to internet radios and to be able to switch between those radios using my toyota car player which handles bluetooth/A2DP/avrcp .The app I would use is xiialive. This device would have his own sim card and should stay in the car. I don't want to plug the device each time I enter in my car, push any button or whatever. I would just like that the fact to put the key in my car would connect automatically to a webradio.
In fact I don't really need to see the screen, the device could stay hidden somewhere inside the car.Here are the features I would like :
- auto boot when I turn on the car, which means when the device receives power from the usb port (my car has an usb port)
- plug an external antenna to get a better reception while driving. I'm thinking of a small android computer with a 3G stick plugged in. I have a 3G stick with an external antenna slot. Or any smartphone with an external antenna slot, but I haven't found one so far.
- eventually auto power down when I turn off the car, but If the device shutdowns when the battery is empty, it could be ok too
I've been working with Android relatively well for the last six or so months and have been utterly shocked by the complete lack of mediaplayer software that will play streaming radio. I have two .m3u files and one .pls that I've tried in the stock player, Meridian, Astro mp, WinAmp Mobile, StreamFurious pro, and RadioHeart, but none of them will play it. Any media player or even a standalone program for Android that will play streaming radio files?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking for an app that can remote control my phone from my pc without streaming the screen.
I have an Xperia that connects to my TV via HDMI & I don't have any wireless mouse/keyboard. So I need a way to control it from my PC with a decent speed. I just need basic nagivation buttons, home/menu/back or mouse support if possible...
I've been looking around for a solution to this - and so far have only found Gmote to be close to what I'm looking for. Actually Gmote hits it on the head, but I wanted to see if there were other options. Here's the setup:
We have a soundboard and speaker system. I would like to hook up a small PC (running either windows or Linux) to the soundboard so that whatever is playing from the computer will come through the speakers. And to control what gets played from the computer, I would like to use my Android phone.
I would consider streaming from my phone if it was reliable enough. I had first looked into streaming to the system via bluetooth - but that wasn't quite stable enough and dropped out too many times.

It gives me 2 options to open it. "ASTRO Image Viewer" and "View picture". For me to use it as a background I have to pull it up in "View picture", BUT....no matter how many times I try and pull it up that way, it shows me the first picture in my camera album. If I click "ASTRO Image Viewer", I can always see the picture I selected, but under menu, I only have the option to "share" and nothing else. Can you tell me why the selected picture won't show up in "View picture"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a rooted Nexus 7 on 4.2.1 and (I think it happened since the last update to 4.2.1) have a total impossibility of playing ANY media files over my local network... Whether it's a movie or even an MP3, every single one of my players tell me "sorry this video cannot be played". I can see the file on EF explorer (tried also with a bunch of other explorers, same problem), I can copy it onto my tablet over wifi, but impossible to play the damn file directly like I used to 2 or 3 weeks ago...
I bought a Kobo Arc for my girlfriend (on ICS) and it has no problem streaming anything instantly, even 720p 6gb movies... but when I get my Nexus 7 , nope can't do it anymore
I've tried tons of players (MX, BS, Dice, VLC...etc), tons of files explorers, looked through the file explorers settings...etc etc, but nothing that could get me my media streaming over wifi again...
It's not a huge issue or anything, but it's rather annoying to have to transfer every single media file on the tablet before actually being able to watch/listen to it..
any Android music players that stream from FTP? The only ones I know are Dice Player and ES File Explorer. The former has no playlist capabilities whatsoever, while the latter's playback capabilities are fairly restricted and clunky.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhich of the following hardware components is used to stream a video over the internet on a smartphone?
- SOC
- RAM
- GPU
- Modem / Radio
Device 1) Samsung Galaxy S3, Quad Core A9, Mali 400
Device 2) iPad 3, Dual Core A9, PowerVR 4 core
Networking: Dual band router (situated 1 metre away), gigabit server plugged into gigabit switch
(I can stream 1080p on my PC and Macbook Pro fine (due to stronger CPU's vs ARM design?))
Both mobile devices can stream 720p fine
I get issues when trying to stream 1080p. Obviously the Galaxy S3 only has a 720p screen anyway, but I still wanted to see if it was possible
I have tried multiple programs on both devices. At 1080p, the iPad can only stream the audio. No picture. The Galaxy S3 is able to stream both audio and video, although the video is choppy
What is the bottleneck here? Is it due to poor software? Or are the ARM A9 CPU's too weak for this kind of thing? I know they can play local 1080p content perfectly fine, but there seems to be issues with network content.
Is it possible to listen to FM radio bringing some mobiles (eg S3) using bluetooth headset? I know it takes physical headphone cable antenna to do. I have no problem to plug some wire if that is necessary.But I want to listen to the radio (not streaming with apps like tunein) via bluetooth.
With the application of native MP3 music player on my S3 I have a choice if I want to output to the external speaker or Bluetooth. How hard is it to do something similar to the radio? Is there no cooked ROM to do it?
