Streaming YouTube video from Android to Samsung TV with AllShare API

Question

Question: I want to develop an app to stream the youtube video from ANDROID DEVICE to the Samsung Smart TV.

Already tried: I have been successful in developing an app which is streaming the local contents of the android device to the Samsung Smart TV using Samsung AllShare.

Problems: Using Samsung AllShare development API "youtube video" is not getting streamed to the Samsung Smart TV. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

For those who don't know: AllShare is the API used in developing app which is used to stream the contents of your android device to the Smart TV.

Answer 1

Youtube doesn't use AllShare (DLNA) to share to Samsung TV because that's will break some laws (license maybe) you maybe see also when using Screen Mirroring/AllShare Cast/Miracast that some VOD application won't mirrored to TV.

Youtube using DIAL as the share protocol with TV and it makes the TV to launch the Youtube installed application in the TV to play selected videos, so the streaming will be done by the TV, with this mechanism there will be no issue in media license for mobile and TV.
