I recently switched to CM7.1 and would like to have an app that does DLNA media streaming similar to what the stock rom had. Anyone have any suggestions? Any feedback would be most appreciated.

it works great, i use it all the time
I tried twonky, I like imediashare a bit more, seems to have a decent about of options

I love imediaShare. I have zero complaints. Twonky didn't work as well with my hardware.
Skifta is AMAZING. Very user friendly.

whats the difference between the paid and free imediashare app? can anyone tell me i cant find it
I've also been looking for a good alternative to the stock DLNA since it doesn't work with ps3. Then again, nothing much works on the ps3 since the network is down. anyway, I tried imediashare, but it didn't seem to work either. Is the ps3 DLNA technology just to outdated for the Thunderbolt?

I confirm imediashare works very nice with ps3. I love its feature where you can
1. stream youtube and many many sites directly
2. I like the way you can search for videos on your mobile and see them on ps3
3. I love its inbuit channels,very useful
4. Reliable and always works, no jerks no crashes.
5. plays HD content
6. Youtube quality is extremely good compared to the ps3 browser youtube.
7. Suppprts UPNP features of my ddwrt router.
It does not play my mobile(3gp) videos because none of these software can transcode, and ps3 can't play 3gp directly.

Does anyone know of a DLNA app that works on the Vivid?
The one that came with my old Atrix worked pretty slick. I was getting used to pushing out songs, pics and video to the TVs connected to XBox.
Isn't there one built in? I haven't used or tested it, but when watching a video in the default app it appeared as if the option was there.
Looks like iMedia Share is a winner. I tried BubbleUpnP and it just didn't have the features or GUI that iMediaShare has.
The stock music and video players do it.

The pre-installed HTC "Connected Media" app works great for me.

I've been mainly using the built in DLNA. That third party app is mainly for redirecting web streams.
Now I just have to figure out how to change the Host name for XBoxes set as Media Center extenders.

Curious if anyone has any solutions yet for XBMC streaming on Chomecast?
Read about Koush aircast but dont think will support XBMC. BUBBLEUP was trying to develop app
Any ideas?

In theory, if you have a universal playing app like VLC remote or Yatse for Chromecast, it might work...

Been hoping for the same thing! Waiting for Chromecast to cast any video stream to my TV. Including my 1Channel app on xbmc
If you want to stream videos to XBMC using Chromecast technology then XBMC will need to embed Chromecast display/render functionality which may be difficult to impossible to include DRM which might make it useless. The other way around does not make any sense for XBMC as it does not transcode and act as a library, it's a self contained library and renderer. I've messed around with XBMC, My Movies, Plex and all have their advantages. I'm really hoping for Plex support so I can browse my movie library on my phone and cast it to the Chromecast just like youtube, google movies, etc.

XBMC does not transcode and by design is a renderer so unless XBMC completely changes their goals and design it just won't happen. Look at Plex it's designed this way, to have a back end media server transcoding to stream to basically any device. All they really need to do is define a transcode type for Chromecast then implement the front end controls into the Android app.
Thanks will try plex do they actually have an app ?

Plex gets installed on your PC (media library and transcoder) then you can run any number of Plex renderers (on PC, Android, Roku, etc). It should be relatively easy for Plex to add Chromecast support as it's designed to work just like Chromecast works. However I would rather use a Chromecast then a Roku...

Not a guarantee, but cant see them passing it up.
Then again there is this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...es-stream-any-local-or-cloud-file-to-your-tv/
Wouldnt be limited to plex or xbmc. Could use any dlna/upnp server.

There is a lot of talk about it and Plex offically says they are highly considering it or something like that but they have not officially committed to it. I really have no doubt that they will, it's a perfect fit!

On the Plex website there will be a Plex Media Center and Plex Media server. The Plex media center is the windows renderer otherwise for the platforms just search for Plex in the Play Store, App Store, etc...

The only reason I'm more in favor of Plex over Bubble is that Plex does transcoding while Bubble doesn't. So I can play MKV files with Plex while with Bubble I can't. I would like to be able to stream every format I have instead of just the select native formats that the Chromecast can serve. Plex has an awesome transcoder so I really hope they can release this.
(edit: NM I'm an idiot. Plex runs as a DLNA server so it will do the transcoding through Bubble. Either way it looks like Koush seems to be close to including this feature into Allcast).
Hi,
It's now possible to cast xmbc over chromecast through Avia Player ($2.99 charge for Addon). Video tutorials up on YouTube explains how.
Using Smartphone - XMBC can be watched over Chromecast through Avia Player which costs $2.99. YouTube Video shows how.

Here is a list of Apps that are already working on CCast support
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromecast
As for what I would like to see....
1 - I would like to see the XBMC remote programs allow you to cast to Chromecast as a Target. But I think they would have to add transcoding to XBMC to do it well....
2 - Would like to see a good SCREEN CAST app which I think may in the end not require an APP because it will be native to Android.
3 - The Ability to leverage HDMI-CEC capabilities of Chromecast in an App to enable CCast to act as a Remote Control via IP. (But better would be an IR blaster port in the next generation CCast so those without HDMI-CEC setups can use it as well)
4 - Screen Mirroring support for PC outside of Chrome (Not really an App as much as a program for PC)
Twitch, undoubtedly my app I'd use the most.

aVia streams from Dropbox!
I doubt that Dropbox would add casting to it's own app.
Whats funny is I looked at the DIAL homesite and saw the Bittorrent and uTorrent name registered in their database...So soon your Bittorrent client like Azureus or uTorrent may get the capability to stream to CCast.
Check out who has registered names and prefixes for DIAL support.

BBC iPlayer and LoveFilm.
Although I understand they're both UK and the ChromeCast isn't out in the UK yet...so probably not going to be soon.
I do wonder how many Chromecasts are "live" in the UK though!

Good news for you...BBC has already registered the iPlayer with the DIAL Registry.
TBS has a bunch of names reserved as well one of which seems to be for NBA!
Would love to see VUDU, Amazon as well.
Lets hope google will read this forum.. /)

Would love to see a support for MX Player.

Amazon prime , so i can stream movies.
With Avia, every app that uses external player and supported file format automatically gets Chromecast support. Even BubbleUPNP can play through it. I am not even sure if I really need anything else.

Great Article! As great as the Chromecast is....It is the DIAL protocol itself that is what makes the device exciting and the Potential to change the way we do TV in the future.
Just imagine TVs with Two Way DIAL support...Whats on the TV can be sent to a second screen...
Or content from any device that supports DIAL can be sent to any TV.
No worrying about the Manufacturer keeping their smart Apps up to date anymore.

It's a double-whammy because AVIs are container files (it has nothing to do with the stuff stored inside), and the compression within AVIs tend to not be streaming-friendly.
A lot of commonly-used CODECs for AVIs store essential decoding stuff at the end of the stream. Not a problem for file-based playback, but horrible for streaming playback since devices can't forsee the future.
Unpacking the AVI container isn't too bad, it's the other stuff - and making sense of the FourCC CODEC identifier at the other end that's the challenge.
What is the best piece of software that will convert avi to mp4?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I could have sworn that I've streamed Avi files, the problem is the codec, which are usually not compatible.
You can even test this by changing the codec and leaving Avi as a container.

I suggest A's Video Converter if you have a newer Intel CPU or AMD graphic card, it utilizes them for fast encoding without slowing down the computer much. For a fast computer it could take 10-15 minutes to convert a full movie instead of an hour or more. It's a batch converter so you can add your files and let it run over night.
http://bluesky23.yu-nagi.com/en/AsVideoConv.html
You have to set up a few things in the app like set Encoder to AMD VCE or Intel QSV. Also the correct formats to be compatible with Chromecast (MP4 container, H.264 video, AAC audio).
If you have nVidia graphic card you can use CUDA for fast encoding, but most programs that utilizes it cost money, such as Badaboom.

RealPlayer Cloud is sort of like a "cloud Plex" - their SureStream feature makes sure the requesting device gets a stream that it can play - even if the source file isn't normally playable. tl;dr - RealPlayer Cloud does the transcoding for you - as long as the media is on their cloud.
