Folks,
If, like me the only downside of the Razr i is the lack of flash (without rooting etc) and not having access to Freeview channel apps like TV Catch up then check out mPlayer. It does streaming TV and works very smoothly on the Razr i.

Anyone tried this with good results?
My results:
I use the free "device check disabled" version of the Netflix app, and it operates great on my stock unrooted DroidX. Watched entire movies over 3G with no problems. Works over WiFi too.
Got myself a HDMI cable for the phone to TV (less than $4 incl. shipping, from Amazon)
I've tried using the free "Xternal Display for Droid X" app to send output to an external HDMI monitor.
Works for a couple of minutes, then quits.
I suspect the "Xternal Display" app is getting swapped out by the Android OS, and that kills the TV output.

There's an app in the market called realhdmi that works I haven't tested it on netflix yet but it works great with youtube videos

I purchased the hdmi app from the market. Afterwards Netflix started right up on my tv. No luck before that. It is somewhat of a pain to use. What you see on your tv is not what you see on your phone. Takes some time to get use to.
This makes the DroidX the smallest Netflix streaming device for a TV?

I've been using the same app and ut works it just randomly stops working alot and I have to reopen the xternal app. But you could try using the paid app realhdmi, I haven't had any issues with that

sorry, i think iphone 4 and ipod touch 4g are smaller, and officially support tv-out with component, vga, and hdmi (with proper cables/dongles). i wish my droid x officially supported hdmi out for anything useful.

I'm hearing real hdmi doesn't work under Gingerbread yet. Can someone confirm?
Also, under Froyo, has anyone watched an *entire* Netflix movie using real hdmi without any problems?

Realhdmi works on gingerbread as of a few weeks ago.

Real HDMI will do the job, but because netflix is a mobile app, the picture quality is passable when it is highest, but not watchable if your connection slows and the video quality drops.

Is there any way we could stream content to a TV using dlna or something like it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
There are dlnA apps in the market that will work. Just search for dlna in the play store.

Just to clarify, cause I'd really like to be able to use the NQ to stream media from my NAS; here's the scenario
If I was playing an MKV file using Dice Player (which is streaming it from my NAS via SMB) on my Galaxy Nexus, I can have the Galaxy Nexus communicate with the NQ to have it displayed on my TV?
Any help with this is greatly aprpeciated
Hi
Please help me with this -I've a Samsung galaxy s3 and a new Samsung LCD TV.
So most of the videos I can stream from my s3 to the TV via dnla as long as they're in the same WiFi networks.
Now I just got my new nexus thinking I'll be able to do the same. But chrome starts play inn these videos directly
On the webpage and I don't have any way to stream this to the TV.
On s3, it used too play it on the video player that comes with the android os.
How do I do this on nexus? The wireless display doesn't find my TV at all

N7 supports miracast. You need miracast support for wireless.
So do I need to buy miracast dongle?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Chromecast dongle could be another choice?
Look for "Pixel Media Server" on Playstore.
I use it to stream via DLNA to my Samsung tv, since my S4 is running on AOSP.

solved...!!
I figured it out finally..quite easy..
On chrome itself when its playing the flash video, there is a share button and i downloaded a program called Twonky Beam from playstore,,and click on share via beam..
Bingo!! it straight away beams whatever is playing in my browser on to my samsung TV in clear HD!!..no messsy wires..I assume there are similar apps to beam as well..
Thanks guys!!
Hi, I have the Amazon Prime Streaming Video service, and I was wondering if there is a app, or a way to watch it on my S4,and my Nexus 7 2013? Thanks

The only way I have figured out is to load flash player for android from the adobe archives and then use a browser such as Dolphin to access the prime streaming movie page.

Red is right.
Amazon has not released their app for the Android market.
Many have tried to extract it from the Kindle Fire & HD to use on
other tablets or phones, but it has not worked. Kind of bad since
Amazon has released the Amazon Instant Video App for IOS.
So, the only way to watch is to set your (flash capable) browser to desktop, load flash
and then log on to Amazon and watch the video through the browser
it works, but not as well as the Amazon Instant Video app. . .
Unfortunately flash is dead in Android 4.4, so this is a short-term solution for everybody, unless you stick with your current device and never upgrade it.
I understand why they might have wanted to keep instant video a kindle exclusive. But once they released it on iOS, it should be on android too.
I'm thinking of getting a chromecast dongle for my tv and just wanted to check some info first.
1. I want to wireless send video to my TV
2. I use showbox & mobdro and mxplayer will these work and is it smooth?
3. Will it also wireless play audio from poweramp?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev

I think in general you're barking up the wrong tree. The way chrome cast works is it pulls content directly from the Internet. What you're describing is like Apple Air Play (or some such thing).
Chrome cast is great, but really your device acts like a controller, that's why only certain apps are supported, because the chrome cast has to run them "onboard" so to speak. I use it with Netflix a lot.
Hope that helps.

Never tried poweramp but showbox will stream to it. Just make sure youe media player is allcast or Avia. Never had an issue with either or showbox
