I wanted to make a DLNA app where you can send pictures, image or audio to the tv and you can control the video, is that possible? By using web1, activitystarter and more
Thank you
Not a trivial endeavour.
Suggest you search around on github for what is required.
i did and no results
if you know how to, please tell me, otherwise its ok
This is one of several I found
Search for android dlna server
i dont see a code or a extension and its my first time in github and i cant download anything
Was really just to show you how difficult it would be to do so.
Plenty of third party apps that do it, and you also have cast.
or just copy content from your phone to a device running a DLNA/uPnP server.
so its super difficult for you to send image via wifi to tv?
No, it is easy with cast.
mines doesent support
is it that hard to use it as a web?
use what as a web? Do you mean your phone as an http server? You could install termux and run an http server on there. There are some methods for setting up an http server within Appinventor, but these are limited and/or i have had little success with them.
yes, to use it to connect the tv and send files or control video
Thank you for saying that.
What are you attempting to do ?
Do you have a web server running on your device?
Are you certain that path is correct ?
In companion app, use Do It to find out.
If you want to view a local image file in a browser, then just do that.
What im attempting to do is to send a picture to the tv so it displays the image
Yes in companion app
What is the ip address for, your phone or the tv ?
This should display your image in the device's default image viewer:
For the television,
To search the ip and get it
As previously advised, your TV will need built in screen mirroring (or similar) or an external Chromecast or other suitable external device in order to display either your device screen or device files. You could just plug your phone into a spare HDMI port with a suitable cable...
Does your TV run a fully fledged web server for sending files to it and then offering display options ?
My device doesent support MHL
Which is connecting your device to television
And my tv is built in screencast
