stream phone video to atv2
#1
I was wondering if there was a way to stream my videos from my android phone direct to my atv2 xbmc setup? I remember that there was a way to send video to xbmc however I dont see that function anymore or maybe its just for online videos? I found this thread but it really doesnt give much information.

There is no way to push data to xbmc but you can tell xbmc to stream from the phone. IIRC there is an app which sends a play command and starts a HTTP server on the phone. Some phones have upnp servers also, which also would work.

Cheers,

can be done with an iphone/pad via airplay but i don't believe android supports it.

Airplay is actually possible from an Android phone via at least two applications from what I've seen - doubletwist and Twonky media server. I'm using doubletwist myself and can stream videos from my phone to my appletv without problems.

It doesn't stream to XBMC though via airplay, topfs2's suggestion is probably better in that case.

Install upnplay from the market and you're in business!

You can play videos on xbmc from any source you can find through upnp or local files. Just make sure you have the upnp settings enabled in the xbmc settings. You can even stream videos in the xbmc library to your android device. You'll require Rock Player or Mobo player installed on your android device. Tried and tested on Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire HD and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v.
