Question From: https://forums.plex.tv 

Last year i bought a DS212j for my storage and i was planning to stream movies on my smart TV when i buy one. Yesterday i bought an LG lb650v on a discount. Now that i got all the parts i open my NAS and install the PMS. Meanwhile i try to find in LG store Plex client but there is no App. I tried though TV’s Web browser and i got “this server does not support transcoding”. Tried on my laptop, the same.. I searched and found that there is not enough cpu power in 212j to do the transcoding! Could you please tell me what alternatives i have in order to get the plex working at least on my browser on my TV. Thanks in advance.

Stream Any Video from Your PC, Mac, Android or iOS Device to Chromecast



The setup and use of Chromecast is not complicated. But considering so many different devices (PC, Mac, iOS devices, Android phones/tablets…) may be involved, you would need some help on how to setup Chromecast for your own devices and use it in your living room. Read on this how-to guide to learn the way streaming video to Chromecast from mobile devices. (Also you can learn how to stream video to TV viaDLNA or LAN

Chromecast Video from PC/Mac Computer to TV
  • You are also allowed to cast videos to Chromecast through the Chrome brower. Which means you have to install the Google Cast extension for the Chrome browser on your PC or Mac.
  • After downloaded and installed the Chromecast app, drag and drop the video you want to wactch into the Chrome browser.
  • Press the Cast button in the Chrome toolbar of your browser. Once the video is played in Chrome browser, you can send it to TV through Chromecast using the Google cast extension.
Chromecast Video from Smartphones and Tablets to TV
  • To cast videos to Chromecast from mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, the Chromecast app is essential. Namely, first of all, you have to find and download the Chromecast app and have it installed on your Anroid or iOS devices.
  • Then just launch the Chromecast app on your device and click Cast Screen button.
  • Play the videos you would like to see on your devices, then you can get videos play in full screen.




Preparation
- One app currently accessible with Chromecast is Allcast for Android, which allows you to stream personal videos, music, and pictures straight to your television. But there’s still a few kinks to work out in it, and it’s only available for Android, leaving iOS 7 devices out in the cold. 

Thankfully, another app has been added to the Chromecast family called RealPlayer Cloud, which best of all, lets you stream from both Android and iOS 7 devices. 

Streaming Personal Videos Through Chromecast 

With RealPlayer Cloud, you can stream any personal videos on your device, or uploaded to RealPlayer’s cloud, and stream them through the Chromecast HDMI dongle on to your television. 

All you have to do is sign in (or sign up if you don’t have an account) and all of the videos on your device will appear under the My Videos tab. As well as personal videos, you’ll be able to stream web videos that are popular, as well as ones shared on Facebook (if you use the Facebook login option). 

Casting from iPad, iPhone, & iPod Touch 

To stream videos from Apple devices, make sure you install the RealPlayer Cloud app for iOS. With it open, just tap on My Videos and then select All Videos from the tab at the top. Now tap on the casting icon on the upper right and select your Chromecast device. Once it connects to Chromecast, select your video and you’ll see it stream to your television.Chromecast Video from Web to TV
  • You can use a smartphone or tablet to watch or listen to content from several sources, including Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, HBO Go, Google Music, Vevo, Plex, Hulu Plus, and Google Movies & TV.
  • In each of those apps, you simply press the “Cast” icon and select your Chromecast, and the video gets sent to your TV.


Note: Easy-to-use and convenient as it is, Chromecast is very limited in the input video formats. In other words, chances are that you have stored tons of videos, in formats like AVI, FLV, WMV, MPG, MOV, etc, that are not supported by Chromecast, then you have to convert those videos into Chromecast compatible ones for streaming. 

Here Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is a top Chromecast Video Converter which can easily convert various formats and tons audio files to Chromecast supported video format for sharing with your family or friends on TV. Mac version is here. Free download it and start to steam all supported and unsupported videos from computer or mobile devices to your Chromecast.

Play DVD on iPad, Backup DVD to Wireless Plus for streaming to iPad



Wanna find an easy way to watch DVD on all your iPad? Read the tutorials to learn how to convert DVD to iPad supported format or backup DVD onto Seagate wireless plus hard drive for streaming to iPad without any problem. 

Question: 

Hi! I'd like to know how to legally copy original Disney DVDs inside my ipad, I can't even use them with my Mac!! I'm sure there must be an easy way and not illegal, otherwise, I'll have to use a ripper or a pc... Thanks to all from sunny Spain! 

Best answers: 

If you want your children to access the DVD movies at all iPad models when travelling, you might consider BDMagic for Mac. We haven't used it, but user reviews are very good. 

Plus, another definite work-around is a wireless external hard drive like the Seagate Wireless Plus. Wireless is built-in so it's load up all the videos, re-fully charge the hard drive and go! It's one more thing to carry, but if you're looking to keep children entertained on long trips or even on shopping trips, this could be a great help. Check it out on Amazon or whatever you might use for electronics. 


As above, the following post shows you how to get DVD movies to iPad or backup DVD to Seagate wireless plus hard drive for streaming to iPad. 

iPad is a popular iOS device which can be taken as a media player that could store and play various HD movies. But as we know it doesn't support DVD playback. So when it comes to playing DVD movies to iPad on the go, you may consider to get an iPad optimal format to play or backup to Seagate wireless plus hard drive for easily syncing. 

Personally I recommend Pavtube BDMagic for Mac for newbies that are blown away by format settings like codec, resolution, bit rate, frame rate, audio channels, etc. The app, unlike most BD/DVD ripping software, features intuitive interface and provides users with presets for all popular iPad models. (yet it allows you to adjust the bit rate, frame rate, etc of preset formats as long as you like). 

You are free to try free trial version (Pavtube BDMagic is for Windows users). 

1. Load DVD video files to Pavtube BDMagic for Mac. 

Run this Pavtube DVD to iPad Ripper, click the top left icon, you can choose to import DVD from ROM, DVD folder or DVD ISO/IFO. It will check the main title by default; moreover, ISO files could also be recognized automatically so that you no longer need to run virtual drive to mount it. 
 
2. Choose MP4 for playing on iPad or storing on Seagate wireless plus hard drive. 

Under "Format" menu, there are lots of video formats. Move your cursor to "iPad" category to choose "iPad Video H.264(*.mp4)", or you can try the small search box on the bottom right corner and select the exact output formats for your iPad. 

P.S. If you want to copy DVD onto Seagate wireless plus hard drive, select "Common Video > H.264 Video(*.mp4)". 

 
3. Start conversion. 

Click big "Convert" button to start conversion. It won't take much time for conversion and then you will get the converted mp4 once completed. Hit "Open" button you will go to location of generated files. 

Now you can directly play DVD on iPad on the go or fully enjoy your DVD streamed from Seagate wireless plus hard drive whenever you wanna. 

More features in BDMagic for Mac: 

* Full Disc Copy can 1:1 backup the whole Blu-ray/DVD disc with original structure including chapter markers. 

* Directly Copy will backup 100% intact Blu-ray/DVD main movie with all the multiple tracks excluding menu. 

* You can edit the BD/DVD video before conversion including trim, crop, effect, etc, add *sst and *ass subtitle into video part and so on.
