Recently I’ve been enjoying a lot more music than movies in my Bassment. Much of what I listen to is menu driven either from the disc source or an external HDD plugged into my Oppo 105. Problem is I have front projection with an expensive bulb burning just to select & listen to music. What I would like to do is screen mirror my Oppo’s menu to a device other than my Panny 8000 projector.
At the simplest I could just get a smallish 20” TV/Monitor, set it on the floor & run HDMI to it. I think this would be aesthetically unpleasing & distracting when watching movies as the best placement would be underneath the big screen.
The solution I’m looking for is to mirror screen the Oppo to my Android cell phone. What seems simple is not. I have scoured Parts Express for a gadget to do so & come up zilch. Before posting here I searched the Google Empire & found others wanted to do this. All the various replies in other forums seemed confused responses. So to clarify: I do not want to stream from my cell phone to my Oppo/projector or TV. I do not want to make my Oppo accessible outside of my home LAN a la Slingbox. I do not want a wired connection via USB to my cell phone. I just want watch what’s on my Oppo to my cell phone wirelessly.
The closest solution I can find is called Airtame & for $400 it’s a no go. There’s such a depth of knowledge as well as width on this forum that me thinks someone has already explored this and figured it out. Me thinks there is somewhere a reasonably priced gizmo that will work but I just haven’t found it yet.
Any tips or info much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
