Is it possible to make a DLNA app?

Then why not use that?

Im building an app which only sends image or video to the tv

Because some device doesent support screen cast miracast

It’s similar to dlna

I strongly know its complicated, i just want the solution, that’s it

I'm going to see the ChatGPT again and i will get results once I'm finished.

Please post here the answer ( from chatgpt )

Alright here’s the result

Me : Make me an app which is similar to dlna (which sends the tv image or video and plays it) in mit app inventor,

Say the blocks only

Chatgpt :

Alright here it is :

Components:

Button_Select

Button_Send

ListPicker1

Web1

ActivityStarter1

FilePicker1

Notifier1

Blocks:

When Button_Select.Click

→ call FilePicker1.Open

When FilePicker1.AfterPicking

→ set global filePath to FilePicker1.Selection

When Button_Send.Click

→ set global link to join "http://000.000.00.000/" + get file name from global filePath

→ set ActivityStarter1.Action to "android.intent.action.VIEW"

→ set ActivityStarter1.DataUri to global link

→ set ActivityStarter1.DataType to "*/*"

→ call ActivityStarter1.StartActivity

(Optional)

When Screen1.Initialize

→ set ListPicker1.Elements to make a list ("TV Browser", "DLNA App")

When ListPicker1.AfterPicking

→ call Notifier1.ShowAlert "Open the link on your TV to play the media"

Shall I add this to

?

As long as you want

If somebody knows how to send picture video or audio to the tv, just please tell me, ive been searching alot for it.

Thank you

Not sure if possible in MIT directly. for that to work you need to have admin accessibility to your network and MIT will need to read and transfer the data of connected devices to your device while encoding and decoding the data.

what did you say

I cant open that image

but you could do it though a web browser in a app. :person_shrugging:

webviewer

not sure at this moment let me mess around for a min and figure out

You can use @Juan_Antonio 's Terminal extension to run ping requests on your local subnet. This can take up to 6 minutes to complete the entire range from 1 - 254. Here are the blocks I used on my local subnet of 192.168.1.* Returns only those IP addresses that responded.

Assumes that your phone/device has an IP address on your local subnet!

The terminal command is:

ping -c 1 -W 1 '192.168.1.*' &>/dev/null && echo '192.168.1.*'

(I got 12 back, and that was with most of my devices turned off! Best do some tracking down!)

Always worth a look: 3 phones, 1 computer, 3 NAS, 2 Smart TVs, 1 Router, 1 Wifi Extender, 1 Google Nest, A Photo Frame, A Fridge, A Shower !!
