Searching for "Video Out" answers

Wi-Fi Media lets your Nexus 7 play movies on any screen via HTC's Media Link HD (hands-on video)

 

There's a protocol called MHL that allows video output to be sent out through a USB port, but the N7 doesn't support this so the micro-USB to HDMI cable you mention wouldn't work.

There isn't an easy way to get video from your N7 to a TV. You need some sort of adaptor for the TV like the one Visa Declined mentions or the one mentioned in this post.

 

Do you have a SMART TV, with wifi? if so try the apps in the line by these guys.

I use this with my samsung tv and it works well. The UI is rubbish, but it works.

 

You can also use an app called imediashare to stream through your PS3 Playstation to your HDTV.

 

you can also output to a roku box via juice for roku and plex

 

I have a pretty cheap tv but it has an ethernet port and dlna certified network adapter, so I can use skifta to make the N7 into a sort of media center. I can browse through my videos on my tv interface. Also looks like crap, but works well enough if your tv supports the video formats. In order to play each and every format, you'll need something like mentioned above, an android tv interface that can install mx player or the likes.

 

Hi jlindemann,

I've tried several of the DLNA free and paid-for players and the best one in my opinion is BubbleUPNP.

I use it mainly for streaming audio files (not just from the N7 itself, but also from network shares located via ES File Explorer, and Google Music in the cloud). It works flawlessly.

The other day I was tempted to try the video streaming (playing to my WDTV Live) and I have to say I was really impressed with the picture and sound quality over my wireless home network. I'd say forget about the lack of HDMI and crack on with BubbleSoftUPNP (paid-for version).

Just a little aside - if you plan to upload your music to the Google Music cloud service you may need to enable the proxy server setting within BubbleUPNP to make it work. It took me ages to discover this, hence I thought I would point it out in case it helps.

There is a free version of the software you can try in the marketplace as well.

Good luck!

 

Twonky seems to play nicely with my xBox as far as upnp goes.
