Looking for Bluetooth/UBS device for TV

[anon(8106053)]

I've seen a lot of HDMI plugged devices (Google Chromecast, Roku, Anycast, various "dongles" and adapters) that allow me to stream video, pictures, etc. to my non-BlutoothTV.

My TV and blu-ray player both have USB ports (I have used a USB memory stick in the BD player to play vids and music). Is there a USB plugged device I can pair with my Smartphone, then plug into the TV (or blu ray player if nothing else) and stream video, youtube, etc. from the phone?

Mainly it's easier to get to a front or side USB port rather than a rear HDMI port. I'm just not sure if the USB port on a TV will allow this kind of thing.

Welcome to Android Central!

There are not USB sticks that I know of for TV's. The best thing to use is a Chromecast in my opinion.

I wouldn't mind a USB type one that I had to use in the blu-ray player. I know that USB port allows this kind of import.
Barring a USB one though, I definitely want to try one of the others.

I don't know of any Bluetooth adapter for video for Android phones but, as itguyjax said, Chromecast works well. Just plug it into an HDMI port, plug the power into it (it comes with a wall wart) or use the cable to power it from the TV's Bluetooth jack (which is the way I do it, to eliminate another wire going to the power strip), use Chromecast to mirror the phone and you're done. (It takes the Chromecast device up to half an hour to update itself once you plug it in and get it connected to your wifi signal. But that's a one-time thing.)
