Does anyone knows a method to send YouTube videos to XBMC using Airplay? The functionality I'm looking for is similar to the one available on iOS devices. I know that AirSync can send videos but not YouTube videos.

**What I have.** - Portable Projector with DLNA & Miracast functionality. - 5.1 Channel speaker with bluetooth. - Android devices version Marshmallow[6.0](Alternate devices with Lollipop[5.1] also available) **Current situation.** - Movie(Video & Audio) streamed to projector from android device via DLNA/Miracast - Stereo Output from projector to the 5.1 Channel Speakers. **Problem.** - 5.1 Channel Speakers becomes just stereo speakers. - Speaker placements dependent on placement of projector.(I want to fix them and not not move them). **What I am looking for.** - Stream **ONLY** the video playback to the projector from the android device via DLNA/Miracast. - Stream **ONLY** the audio playback from android device to 5.1 channel speakers via bluetooth. *Can this be done? is there any app available for the same?*

I would like to listen to my [Audible audio books](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.audible.application) on external speakers because the tablet's internal speakers are too weak and headphones are not always practical. In another my post, https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/190837/stream-any-audio-to-dlna-upnp-speakers , I asked if there is a generic solution to stream audio output from any app on my Android devices, if there is no generic solution then have anyone figured out a specific solution for Audible? Audible doesn't seem to support external players, so I cannot use [BubbleUPnP](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp) like I can with [BeyondPod](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.beyondpod) for free podcasts. I have nice external speakers, Panasonic SC-NE5DBEB-K by the way. When I am home, my tablet and speakers are on the same home wireless network, I would like to listen to Audible when doing household chores for example, but the tablets internal speakers are too weak, I have to move around the house, it sometimes noisy and headphones are not practical, I still need to hear other people too.

I got home from the airport today and I keep getting this "Grant access" pop-up: > Grant access > > DLNA device [MAC_ADDRESS] is requesting access to media files on your phone. Did my phone get hacked? Did some device in my house get hacked? Or am I just paranoid?

Nexus 9 currently runs Android 6.0.1 (MMB29S) with ElementalX kernel 4.05 and Chainfire's SuperSU 2.66 (if that matters); on the TV side, - it is Panasonic Viera TX-42CSR610 and it has screen mirroring function. WiFi direct finds the device, I am also able to send videos with sound from Nexus to it (as well as from a Windows 10 pc). However if I start the "Cast screen" from Nexus, it says "No devices available"; also when I invoke screen mirroring app on the TV, WiFi direct loses it. I've tried about dozen playstore apps with no avail, including Chromecast, Mirror beta, Wifi display, Wireless display (Miracast) and others, all of them failed in different ways. Presumably it will work with additional hardware like Chromecast, what I want to know is whether it is supposed to work as is, and if yes, why does not it work. I found some similar questions here, they are about some different hardware/software combinations. Is there a known common problem?

I have a home media server running minidlna daemon, and I can stream media to my android phone when I am connected to the home LAN, but I can't seem to be able to do it over the internet. I'm using BubbleUPNP and I've already forwarded the ports on the home router, but I don't see any option/setting on the app to change the server address/port.

Is it possible to scan specific folders for music files and import them to some android media player app, which could then stream the music to a DLNA device? Another challenge is that the music files are on a NAS device, so they would be accessed through an SMB share (or AFP, or NFS share, if that changes anything). I found a way to mount it to android's filesystem (using command busybox mount iocharset=utf8 -t cifs -o username=guest,rw,noperm,iocharset=utf8 //192.168.0.106/xxx /data/media/0/xxx), so apps see it as a local folder (you must have root for that I think, also the kernel should support cifs filesystem, and apparently the android device should not be in battery saving state and iocharset=utf8 is important if you have file or folder names with special characters), but the problem is that many apps rely on android's media scanner service to find music, which probably has trouble scanning the whole mounted folder and the apps do not see all the music files.

Is there a generic ways how to stream _any_ audio from my mobile or table to my WiFi DLNA/UPnP speakers? By any audio I mean any audio output from any application - YouTube, Audible, BeyondPod, any music player etc. I figured out partial solution for [BeyondPod](http://www.beyondpod.mobi) , a podcast client, and [BubbleUPnP](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp) , where BubbleUPnP streams to the speaker when it is set as "external" player for BeyondPod. It's a partial solution because it works only for applications with support for redirection to external player. YouTube or Audible has no option to use external player. And it is not ideal solution either. For example playlists are tricky, both BubbleUPnP and BeyondPod have their own playlists and they don't play along well. BubbleUPnP is unfortunately not just just audio _forwarder_, it's full fledged media player and its own broad functionality in this scenario it gets in the way :( Is there a proper audio forwarding (re-streaming, re-directing) solution, an app or a driver, which would take any audio output and forward it to my external speakers? My speakers support UPnP/DLNA, Airplay and Bluetooth.

I'd like to know what options there are for playing a movie on the Galaxy Note on my TV. The TV is a relatively recent Sony Bravia that sadly appears not to support DLNA. I gather the Galaxy Note doesn't support HDMI - so are there any other options?

What can I do with DLNA on an android smartphone? I understand it allows wireless streaming media, but beyond that I have trouble finding details. Will DLNA enabled smartphones receive data from servers? Will I be able to hit "play" on my smartphone and listen to it on my DLNA enabled stereo?

I noticed after the updated of my Nexus 7 from Android 5 to 6.0.1, that my DLNA app BubbleUPnP (Version 2.5.5.1) stopped detecting video players. I am trying to view a video from my library with VLC Player Version 1.7.2., but I just cannot select it. Before with Android 5, the player could be selected, but I don't know for sure, if it changed because of updating android or the app. I also tried another player. Not selectable, either. From within other apps, e.g. Total Commander, I can select every intalled video player. I have an other device, too, with Android 4.3. BubbleUPnP and VLC are the same versions and there it all works fine. I already asked the bubblesoft support, but unfortunately they don't have an idea, either... They claim that they tried it on a Nexus 5 running the same Android and app versions, and everything works fine. How can I fix it?

I have a qnap NAS which shares media via samba shares and upnp (dlna/twonkey). I'd like to run a photo gallery app which displays shared photos so I don't have to copy them to my tablet. No luck finding a DNA client that has a decent photo gallery yet... also couldn't find an app that lets me mount a smb share like smbfs for Linux.. any other ideas? Launching needs to be very simple.

I want to be able to play music from my android phone out of my home sound system, wirelessly. Bluetooth doesn't have a long enough range, so I was going to use Wifi. I also want to be able to connect to the internet on my phone (Spotify etc), at the same time. I was going to buy this: Amazon link But I first want to make sure that I can still connect to the internet (through WiFi router) if I am using this. I do not want to route my phone. Thanks.

I'm searching for a way to pause music playing on my DLNA sound system when a call comes in on my Android phone. Ideally, the music would continue as soon as I hang up my call. Is there a way to achieve that?

So I have this cheap MK802 android devince connected to my old TV, I want MK802 to be as a digital TV box, which could receive pushed media content from DLNA sources. Are there any good DMR app for android? I tried: * com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp * com.waxrain.airplayer Both can browse remote DMS contents and play them, BubbleUPNP can control my Windows Media Player, but they can NOT receive push pictures, videos, etc. * What's wrong with my home network? * Are there any better alternative DMR apps for android? * What can I do to diagnose the problem? Thank you all.

I have a Nexus 4 (Lollipop) & a Lumia 520 (Windows 8.1) Since, Nexus has limitations of Data size & Lumia supports a microsd, Most of my Videos/movies are stored in lumia 520's SD card. Almost all of these happen to be in flv/mkv format which unfortunately is not supported by windows phone. There are apps which claim to support mkv in lumia but have a lot of defects in decoding. I tried mkv viewer,ccplayer, moli etc. but the experience is pretty disappointing. So, I need a way to create a peer to peer network such that Lumia 520 acts as a media server & streams videos(no downloads.. all in memory as there is insufficient data space) to nexus 4(which can play these videos excellently). There is an app in Windows store (Lumia Play To) which can cast screen to other devices. Using BubbleUPNP on Nexus 4, I could get Nexus 4 to be seen in Lumia & works good. However, this approach has **two limitations :** 1) You need a separate wifi router/network to which both devices can connect. 2) Lumia Play To cannot stream mkv/flv videos. There is also an app (Easy Transfer) for windows which shows phone files via Browser. This shows flv/mkv files but it does not stream videos. Rather, it downloads the video & that is very slow. Also, a separate wifi network is needed. So I need a Way/Apps wherein I can create a Wifi direct network between these two devices & watch videos in nexus 4 without fully downloading them. (The last four words might be too much to ask but if at all it is possible, that would be good.)

I have been trying to achieve a DLNA / Media Share between my Nexus 5 and Xbox 360, so far I have been unable to achieve this and I decided to turn here to see if anyone could shed some light. What I basically want to do is stream media **from my Nexus 5 to my Xbox 360**, now what makes this all quite confusing is I have a standalone router flashed with DD-WRT to handle connections upstairs, this includes the Xbox 360. The app I am using to try and achieve this is **BubbleUPnP Pro**. The Xbox 360 has its own IP Address defined within the second router, I guess it is an Access Point as it simply connects to the main router wirelessly and then provides access through the ethernet ports. My question is, is it possible for me to stream media from my Nexus 5 (which is connected to the Main Router) through the Access Point and to my Xbox 360? If so - will it require any action on the Main Router and what are the steps I need to take to achieve it? Thank you - (I have attached a image to document how everything is set up network-wise)

The title says it all. I am wondering if I can display slideshows among other things on a computer display. I know that it has to be a DLNA compatible device, which I believe most of computer displays are not, and I also know there's this companion HTC Media Link HD device (which is a wi-fi dongle kind of thing). I have a Mac OS X 10.8.2 Macbook Air, and an old Linux laptop, and some time to kill on a cold November weekend, so what I am asking really is whether there is a way to turn my Macbook or Linux laptop into a DLNA compatible device so that I could play slideshows on 24" display without investing any extra money.

With my Sony Xperia Z1, I can use NFC to "pair" it to Sony TVs to broadcast what is being displayed on my phone on the TV screen as well. I would like to do this however I don't have a Sony TV. Is it possible to use an app or set up streaming so I can view my screen on my TV? I have a typical "dumb" tv connected to a Western Digital Live Hub which can access the videos/media stored on my phone without issues (supports DLNA) over my wireless network.

When testing a widget I created, I wanted to make sure that it uses as little CPU power as possible. After some research I downloaded Watchdog to use as a monitoring tool, which works great. When I finished my testing I set the CPU threshold at 10%, just curious to see what process would randomly go above that level. One that exceeds the 10% threshold on a daily basis, at least a couple times a day, is **com.motorola.Dlna**. I know what DLNA is, what it's used for, and how to set it up but I don't use it, nor do I have it set up on my phone. I spoke with a Motorola support analyst and asked why it would be running. The response I got was "it's possible you could have set it up without knowing it, maybe by an application that you downloaded but it's nothing to worry about".
Needless to say the answer I got wasn't very helpful so I'm really just wondering what would cause this service to use so much CPU power randomly? Most of the time it's not being used, but when it is, it shows that it's using usually between 12.5% - 15% CPU power. Do applications really access/use this service without me ever actually going through and setting it up?
