This is probably just a standard feature of android now, but I've just come across it recently after upgrading to a smart TV. It's just so easy now to watch my vids and photo slideshows at a whim on my 50" plasma. Another great use I've discovered for my Note.
How do you "throw" videos to your TV?

Using Allshare
Do you have a Samsung TV? The only way I know of to "throw" media via AllShare is with a Sammy TV or using the AllShare dongle connected to the TV.

So, let's try to understand this... I tried AllShare as a server on my PC, I thought it sucked to I installed Twonky instead.
Can I still get content "pushed" to my (older, Samsung) TV from the tablet?
My TV is a Panasonic 50GT50. I would assume this works on any `smart ` TV as long as it's dlna certified, so that should include all of em.
When looking at pics in my photo gallery I now have an extra button visible on screen because a dlna device is within reach. When I touch that, the photo I'm viewing appears on the TV in a few seconds.
It's the same with videos.
It's great for downloaded HD music videos from YouTube, or my photo slideshows I'm making in Windows movie maker (a great program).

This is true. Dlna makes it possible. Works with my Samsung blueray player hooked to My LG t.v. I couldn't get the allshare thing working. Then I discovered the dlna way. Same thing really.
I gone to look see if this can be done with my ps3 I want that option......, lol

i use BubbleUpnp on my android and XBMC on a RaspberryPi to throw videos, music and Fotos to my TV.
If you happen to have a decent android phone with hdmi connection to tv, you can uses bubleupnp (both devices), to "throw" stuff and junk, if you dont have anything else.

With mirrop sender/mirrorop reciever app, you can do the equivalent of allsharecast(with lag), where your able to mirror your android devices, great for pics, vids, slow paced games etc etc etc...........ofcourse, ive not got my hdmi cable yet, so im assuming theirs no issues with connecting phone to tv, and mirror my note 10.1 to tv, via phone?

My t.v. doesn't have any wireless capabilities. It is an LG though. How I got it connected was through my Samsung blueray player. Which is connected Its wifi capable. But only if you plug in a wifi USB adapter. I have my router Ethernet plug plugged into the back of blueray. The Samsung player has dlna and that allshare cast. But I couldn't figure how to get allshare to work from the blueray end. So since I knew the player and the note had dlna capabilities, I played around with getting it connected. I previously had no experience using Dlna. All I knew that it was something having to do with connecting devices wirelessly or whatever.
How I got it connected? Well going into settings of blueray and in settings of the note. In your case it'll be TV settings where dlna option is at and your note. On your t.v., I'm guessing, as long as you have its wireless capabilities on or connected to your network, youngood to go on that side. On the note, you go into settings. Then more. Then in media share section press "Nearby devices/share your media with other devices" . In there, check the box that says File sharing. Depending on how much content you have saved in your note, it might take a minute or two to sync data. Then go into shared contents and make sure videos, music, and pictures box is checked. It might sync again if they weren't already checked. Then look in "allowed devices". You should see your t.v. name or whatever show up in there. I can't remember if I had to initially accept it or not. Checking the box will only bring up option to delete that device for me now. In my case, I see my blueray player name in there. In upload from other devices, I put "always allow".
Now once you have it set up on tablet side, you should be able to see the option or icon for your tablet appear on t.v. for me I have to press other devices on my blueray and ill see my tablet icon. I click on it and then they both connect. I can access all my video, music, or picture folders and view the contents. Kinda like an HDMI connection. Except dlna only lets you explore clthe content mentioned on the device only. It doesn't mirror everything like an HDMI connection. Like I can't access my apps nnor whatever. Only stored media content on device. Beware though when watching some downloaded movies. Some of these Movies have some kind of failsafe knowledge of knowing you watching a new downloaded movie. For example I have Argo downloaded. It'll let me watch it for a few Minutes. Then it'll stop and say device not authorized to watch this movie..lmfao it detects it by the device recognizing that the movie is in 5.1 Dolby or whatever. Since alot of the movies are screened versions or whatever. People on ps3 watching certain downloaded movies have same issue also. The only work around is reformatting the movie so it won't be detected. Its weird because I can play that movie on my note with no issue. I guess that only occurs when trying to watch it through a new t.v. or blueray player. It may even be built in, but I think its internet connection detects certain things in the movie and can tell that its a new movie that hasn't been released yet or on DVD and you trying to watch a downloaded digital version of it. Which is pretty smart. I can't be mad about that. Ill just watch those certain movies on my tablet which will play them regardless. Its not all downloaded movies. Only certain newer ones depending on what version you downloaded of it. Just a heads up. Experiment and see.
I also have an HDMI adapter for my note. It'll connect to this LG t.v. BUT for some reason the sound won't play through the t.v. or my home theatre setup. Its weird. I've read some t.v.'s be picky like that. I might try another HDMI cable to see if it makes any difference. Now I had another 39in. Flatscreen that I returned. As I didn't need it since I found a better deal on bigger one. But my HDMI played fine on it. Audio and video. Ill be OK though. It still connects the video to t.v. with no issue. So it'll mirror no problem. But when I play a game LR something through HDMI, the sound only comes out through the tablet itself. Doesn't come out the t.v. or theatre sound system. I wish my t.v. or pioneer system had a 3.5mm input jack for audio. As I would connect them that way, audio wise. That's how I connect my audio from my SG3 to my car stereo. I use a double sided 3.5mm male plug to plug them both up. My t.v. or pioneer doesn't have that jack. I haven't tried the coaxel method yet. But I'm not pressed about mirroring anymore. As long as I can access my media content, I'm good. I do miss being able to pull up crackle app and watch movies that way through HDMI. It ain't no good if the sound only coming out the tablet and movie picture on the t.v. lol don't want to watch movie that way. I'm looking for a bigger and newer t.v. so I'm sure my HDMI will work completely on it. But I can play games like Moddern Combat4 through HDMI and it plays fine on t.v. no lag or issues. Only thing is is that the sound to it only comes out my tablet SMH
Good luck getting yours connected. Let me know how it goes.
Thanx
It worked for me today.
Very nice.

I do this via imediashare app. Use it on my s2 and Note tab.
Will this work with netflix(streaming), or only local files?

I was able to successfully use the imediashare app. Very easy but why is allshare not playing nicely with the ps3? I'd love to use an app that I already have if I can. Anyone else have luck with allshare and ps3?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium
Maybe allshare is coded to work between Allshare enabled devices. Maybe they need to exchange a handshake code? Be good to get an allshare app for the ps3 and xbox.
I cannot get imediashare to hook up with the xbox though. In fact I can't get any thing to work with xbox.
How well does dlna allshare work when looking at a 1080p high profile movie?
If it is perfect for high profile movies I wonder why we can not mirror our tablet screen with dlna.
HI guys,
I just wanna know, how can i connect my device to tv?
Is there wired connection? what about wireless connection?
What are the things i need?
For example, my tv is Samsung LED Series 5?
What are the things i can do after connecting:
- can i access my device as a storage device?
- can i play a movie to my device and have it displayed in my tv?
Thanks in advance
With the app Mediahouse (pro) you can stream movies from your tablet to you tv (netwerk).
you can choose to stream content to your tablet of from your tablet to your tv (if i'm correct)
New or old n7? This is easily found anywhere online. Old n7 can't mirror it's screen to the TV except with a mod for miracast (this mod is new). This mod doesn't work on 4.3 yet and requires supported hardware on the TV too.
What does work is dnla or upnp, which sends local media to the TV - movies, music, photos that are stored locally not streamed. Many apps support this and lots of hardware does too.
New n7, you can use slim port cable to mirror the screen

I have the old one, there is no something like adapter, converter, cable that can connect the device to the tv? i cant seem to find any on mr. google, and yeah i saw that the new nexus 7 is capable of that, thanks
Chromecast may solve your problem if you can get your hands on one.

I just bought a Samsung 32F6400 tv, wich has screen mirroring that is designed to work just with samsung phones/tablets.
I turned on wireless display on my phone, it connects to the tv, and after that i get a 2-3 sec black screen on the tv, and then it says Screen mirroring off/disabled...
Did anyone get this to work on a samsung tv ?
problem with Samsung
I also have a Samsung TV 2013 edition and when I try connecting via miracast it says connected then the TV stops and exits miracast mode, however the nexus 4 did work with my freind's lg smart TV and my brother's note 2 worked on my TV so I'm guessing that the problem is with Samsung not the nexus. And I was using stocl android 4.3 ....:crying:
I'm hoping there's a port to make it work with Nexus phones.. Anyone?

Just replaced my Android TV with a Samsung series 5. How can I enable casting to it?
I've found loads of threads about enabling Miracast, but these focus on screen casting. I just want to be able to cast the BT Sport app.
I have a Sammie TV as well. I ended up just getting a 4k Chromecast. Makes life so much easier. I use Videostream app to stream PC movies to Chromecast from another room and control playback controls on my phone.
