Hi all
I'd like to be able to stream videos which are on my desktop PC to my phone possibly via some server/client set-up and the wireless network. To my surprise I haven't been able to find anything in the marketplace which advertises this ability. I'd very much like it if VLC could be used as the server but that's only incidental.
Thanks
try using ORB
orb doesn't support wp7, and on their forum they said maybe in the future...
If you serve up compatible (ie MP4 or WMV) files via http to the WP7 browser then these will apparently open the Zune player on the phone and the content will stream. I have not tried this yet myself however.
What I am planning on doing this weekend though is trying out TVersity (google is your friend). From what I can see, this software runs a server that allows you to access all your media (music, photos, video etc) from phones, other PCs, media players etc. It has the major advantage of optionally converting file formats on the go.
What I'm hoping to do with this is:
1. Set up TVersity server on my home HTPC
2. Browse my media collection using the TVersity server with IE on my WP7 (this tutorial suggests this should be possible)
3. Clicking on MP4 files should play them natively with the Zune software on the phone, and other formats should be converted to MP4 on the fly by TVersity (need to look into TVersity to make sure it can actually do this!)
4. Play files
5. ???
6. Profit!
I'm going to try this with the free version of TVersity first to make sure it works as I think it does. If it does, great. If not, I'm stuck converting my AVIs to MP4 and copying them to my phone. Also try out "Send to WP7"; the latest update allows you to right-click an MP4 on your desktop and send a local link to your phone so you can stream directly over Wifi.
But really somebody should make a server / app combo for WP7 that serves up media nice and easy.
EDIT: I've actually tried the above, and it works. You can access TVersity if you're connected by Wifi with your IP address (http://192.168.1.9:4321 or whatever) and you are provided a file browser to browse all your media. Selecting a video file automatically transcoded the AVI to WMV which looks pixel perfect and very good quality (widescreen and all) on my HD7. It opens in Zune player, so all you can really do is pause / play, fast forward and rewind. No scrubbing or anything.
Positives:
-Allows you to play any AVIs / divx videos in your library without converting beforehand
-Streaming quality is perfect and smooth
-Possible to stream over the internet (3G) if you want (you can set a username and password)
Negatives:
-TVersity menu looks poor on the phone and is difficult to navigate; some text is huge while other text is tiny
-Once you start streaming a TV show / Movie, there is no way of stopping the transcoding at the server side. ie If you start watching a 40 minute 350mb show but decide after a few seconds you want to watch another one, TVersity doesn't seem to have any way of telling that you've navigated away from the show. Which means that the server computer running TVersity and doing the transcoding (which is my case is an oldish laptop in a cupboard) will continue to transcode the entire episode for the duration of the show. This has the very unwelcome side effect of almost maxing out the CPU on the server for those 40 minutes. And if you start watching another episode, that starts transcoding too... server is crippled after a while. The only way to stop transcoding is by manually restarting the TVersity service on the server, which cannot be done remotely.
In fairness the issues here are not caused by WP7, they seem to be TVersity issues. I thnk they would be easily fixed with an official TVersity browser app that would solve the navigation issues and would tell the server to stop transcoding when you quit watching a video.
On the other hand, we wouldn't have these issues if WP7 would just support AVI / divx like they promised they would originally... ;-)
I was actually tinkering with this tonight.. I was about to hit the hay when I saw this thread.. so i will chime in..
I went as far as to install a WAMP setup on my Media PC / Server. Then in my doc root I would structure my videos, mp3's photos, etc..
I did some port forwarding on my router and poked some holes in my firewall so my Media Server could listen on port 80.. so my laptop pulled server good..
I also own the HD7, and what I also confirmed was that i could hit the server from IE on the phone..and stream .wmv's successfully.. kewl..
Now all I need to do is develop a better webpage to house the content and make it look good.. possible MetroUI look.. scroll to the right or left instead of up and down.. I am also trying to include ffmpeg so I can have the functionality of the website taking a thumnail of the video upon upload and using it as the img src for the link to the video in my WP7-web-app..
Makes it even better that PHP is compiled on the server so i can do some trick things for the website..

Try PS3 Media Server instead of TVersity. I've found PS3 Media Server to be more welcoming to various devices (as well as being more stable).

I already use ps3 media server for my ps3, but how can I use it with my HD7?
You could try Smart Potato. It does interact with WMC.
As far as I can recall, TwonkyMediaServer supports a load of devices as well as streaming over the interweb.

Why can't my Samsung Focus connect?
Hey, I just recently got TVersity and got it to work fine on my ps3...however, I am unable to connect on my wp7... I tried to go to the localhost url in IE but to no avail. Would creating a podcast of the info and adding that podcast to my Zune player work?

How the hell did you get the files to transcode into WMV??? I tried setting it up but it was only transcoding into MPG. What settings did you use in TVersity?
My transcoding settings are:
Only when needed
Video Resolution: 640 by 480
Image Resolution: 1280 by 1024
Use DirectShow: Windows Media Video 7
Quality
Wireless G - Connection Quality High
Decode media as fast as possible
I also set the Media Playback Device to Auto Detect. Should I change this to a different profile?
JukeFly is the best streaming app for music....
What would be nice is if they allowed VPN connections. Then i could vpn to my home network and browse to my server and use an app (yet to be created) to launch videos from my server. Did it on my android phone. Kind of miss it =(
While not an option yet, Microsofts next version of Windows Home server is going to have Windows Phone 7 integration. The next public release version that is suppose to support this functionality is rumored to come out some time in February. From using earlier builds of Vail (code-name for new version) it will do transcoding of media files and hopefully some of the issues that I experienced in the early beta versions will be resolved when the near final release is available.

I've had some success streaming to my phone using Tversity when transcoding to WMV8, it's worked pretty well.
I'm in the process of coding up a rudimentary UI for the phone instead of using the browser.
I would be interested in your progress... also.. can you share your setup using Tversity?
I am getting slow streaming using http over WLAN.. it works.. but is choppy at times..
I've got an app with full media streaming in the works also, just need to iron out some of the transcoding issues - but with the right settings I've had flawless video (more or less) even over a normal 3G connection.
Let me get this straight..
what you guys are doing is having the video transcoded on the server as the device requests it on the fly?
Hi,
I have got several android devices (HTC Legend; Asus Transformer) and also a media player box (Freebox) that supports both AirPlay and Upnp.
I am very disappointed to see that Android (out of the box, or any app) does not support streaming the raw audio output from this devices to the air (Wifi).
I mean, there are (billions) of apps out there that pretend to be able to share your media with DLNA.
They work more or less.
But it seems not possible to send the very output of the sound card other the Air.
Hence, it is not possible to stream Spotify,Grooveshark,SoundCloud,Youtube .. music to my nice Wifi devices.
iPhone/Pad users are able to send their audio through the Air, since AirPlay is built-in iOS.
Why couldn't I ?
After some research, I found why there is no such app on Android market :
It seems that the Android API purposely prevent from recording / accessing the low level audio output.
It might be to prevent people from ripping / downloading music that is only streamed to them.
So my question is :
Is there some work done to enable output audio capture / streaming for rooted devices ?
Either with an App or in alternative mod (Cyanogen ?)
Please point me to some resource, or advice me where I could post
a feature request for Cyanogen.
Thanks in advance,
Raphael
Thanks Raphael,
Not to steal this thread or anything, but I've spent soooo much much time trying to figure this out as well. The closest I've come to a STABLE solution is Twonky's ability to stream music that's stored on my phone to my WDTV Live (DLNA), but that's not what I want. I've practically given up on this, so if any one out there knows anything, please help!!!
Check out ArkMC, it's DLNA certified client, can subscribe to YouTube channels, stream YouTube content to DLNA/UPnP devices, and has feature ""Send to external player" - allows to share current playback to other renderers.
ArkMC on xda
Before I switch to android, I was using an iPhone. and today, the only feature I really miss is airplay. I can't understand why google didn't yet implement a system wide streaming service.
AH HA!
after hours of searching I find I'm not the only one searching for this!!!
I too would love to have this function, I currently use the Last.fm app on my phone but would love to sream it to my upnp/dlna hifi, I used to use the xbmc last.fm addon but since last.fm made changes to their api it no longer works
Still, I will keep searching and if I find a way I'll let you know, it seems such a simple idea, surely a missing link.
In the mean time you CAN share Soundcloud with a dlna device from your android, using skifta, its a bit limited but does work well..... no if only they would add a last.fm channel.
Cheers for listening

I just wanted to add that I'm also looking for this. I want to send my Audible audiobook sound to some DLNA players (my squeezebox radios in every room). Audible doesn't support DLNA, so I need to redirect audio to some DLNA bridge app, A2DP style.
I also looked for this feature in my Android.
I too have been testing app after app, looking for the same functionality.

Background: I have a friend who owns an Android tablet and currently plays via DLNA/UPnP music on his TV. What I know: he currently can only play his own MP3s from his home network and he found a solution to play Youtube videos.
My problem: I wanted to listen to artists on Soundcloud or Spotify the last time I visited him. It seems that for Soundcloud there is an solution according to what noddymini has posted already

I'm going to recommend that to him. I can't test it myself, that is why I hope you might take a look at it, as well. But besides Skifta I also found a possible solution today. I know I know. Signing up as a new user and the first post is about an app recommendation looks suspicious. But it isn't. Here is what I found with Google (google. com/search?q=Android+Soundcloud+DLNA) and (play.google .com/store/search?q=UPnP+OR+DLNA+soundcloud+&c=apps) today (besides these comments here) is this app named Eye-C Taglists created by Eyecon, via a news article written by Joe Sirianni on talkandroid .com. I'm not allowed to post links as a new user, so I'm quoting their article and the descriptions from the Google Play Store:
talkandroid.com said:
Stream Playlists Of Videos, Pictures And Music To DLNA Devices With Eye-C Taglists
At any point, just push play, and the feed comes to life – on your phone, TV, Apple TV (even from an Android phone), PC and more.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1 – Find videos, pictures and music you think are interesting in YouTube, Facebook, Picasa, and now SoundCloud.
Step 2 – Play your picks on your mobile phone, connected TV, Apple TV or other Airplay and DLNA devices.
Step 3 – Play content individually or as taglists. These lists can come from your friends, or they can come from users tagging a video with a certain term, like #startaparty.
Step 4 – Easily add another video, song, or picture to that list, by tagging it #startaparty – and watch your playlist change and grow as people interact with it.
So if you’ve been looking for an app to supply an endless stream of content from multiple users and platforms like YouTube, Picasa, Facebook and your own personal music playstist, Eye-C Taglists can deliver. The application will work on most Android devices but can also play on hansets supporting DLNA (wireless push content).

[QUOTE="Eyecon" app on Google Play Store]
Eyecon - The only app that allows you to search, preview and stream videos, music and photos from local DLNA/UPnP media servers and the internet, send it to your networked TV, audio device or UPnP renderer for a shared experience! Eyecon turns your Android device into your home media manager remote control.
[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE="Taglists by Eye-C" app on Google Play Store]
Eyecon - Called "automagical" by Gizmodo, Taglists™ lets you create and share playlists that mix free music, videos, and photos from multiple places, including Facebook, YouTube, Picasa, and SoundCloud.
- Create a Taglist by tagging songs, videos, and photos with the same hash-tag
- Share Taglists on Twitter and Facebook automatically, and let friends add to your playlist to build your own shared channel that others can watch on any computer
- Play Taglists on your Android phone or use Airplay or DLNA to play them on connected TV, A/V receivers, iPod docks, stereos, Apple TV and more.
Tech Specs (the geeky stuff)
Eye-C plays on your Android phone with an OS Version higher than 2.1. It also plays on other screens and speakers using both Airplay and DLNA standards, which means it can play back on devices including A/V receivers from Pioneer, Denon, Yamaha, Sony and more, connected TVs from Samsung, LG, and Panasonic, set top boxes including WD (Western Digital) and Popcorn Hour, as well as Xbox 360 (with Windows Media Player enabled. Make sure it's on and THEN look for other players. When it works, give us 5 stars – this was hard!).
Note: Taglists now supports Airport Express on Android versions greater than 2.1. It doesn't work well on some Android tablets or some HTC Android phones (Eris and Hero) – we're working hard to correct this, and we expect improvements in the next few weeks.

And there is an app called "Private Dancer" from 'Apps by Ken'.
Private Dancer said:
Private Dancer is a UPnP Media Renderer for Android. It is designed to be used on a device attached to speakers and power. Unlike other UPnP Android applications, Private Dancer is designed for always-on (headless) use. It contains no flashy UI and its only purpose is to provide a rock-solid, dependable wireless audio service for your home network.
What is a UPnP/DLNA Media Renderer?
The name is awkward but Private Dancer essentially provides wireless speakers for your network. It relies on the UPnP* protocol to communicate with other devices on the network. Many devices support this protocol and there are many Android apps available that can be used to send audio to Private Dancer.
What is meant by 'headless'?
While Private Dancer can be used on any Android device, it sports features that make it ideal for a tablet or unused Android phone that can be connected to speakers and power. The service can run on boot and aims to be always available, and generally once setup does not require direct user interaction.
How does it work?
Install the application and run it. Select startup options and enable the service. Once enabled, a notification appears and the UPnP/DLNA service is available on the network. Connect to the service via a supported UPnP client, such as Samsung's AllShare media application to play music from your phone or other UPnP device.
Feature List
-UPnP/DLNA Media Renderer
-Configurable to start automatically on boot (survives loss of power)
-Configurable to prevent device from entering sleep mode (always on)
-Configurable to allow or prevent clients from changing the volume
-Configurable the name of the service
Testing
Private Dancer has been tested with the following UPNP / DLNA players:
- 2Player v1.1.07 (Android)
- BubbleUPnP 1.3.1.2 (Android)
- UPnPlay 0.0.62 (Android)
- Samsung AllShare 2.6.114 (Android)

As said, I can't link to this stuff directly as a new user, just search for it. And as said I can't test it myself. Going to recommend it to my friend next weekend and I hope one of these solutions plays Soundclound quite well.
Too bad.
With Taglists broken, there is no more solution to stream spotify / Soundcloud to Airplay !
I have found a thread on Android Support Forum :

(Since I cannot post URLs due to stupid anti-spam rules, please update the link above)
Please comment / add your voice to make it change.
Or should we ask to XDa developpers to work on this feature for alternatives firmwares ?
I switched from Ipad2 to Nexus10 and I lost 50% of my tablet use! No (good, neither average) app for making music and no airplay. I tried everything but it's clearly impossible to stream audio output on android.
Google does nothing to support airplay and developers say that this is currently impossible because of Android software limitations. Pathetic.
There is only Cyanogen which can save us one day
as far as I know, streaming overall system sound linke Bluetooth is not possible on iphone. But more apps do: Spotify for iOS has airplay integrated
Android can do it but not without help. Vanilla builds (cm) just don't seem to have the native support that HTC and Samsung have. Both of which have native UPnP built-in
I'm currently using deezer, and 'd like to be able to stream the audio to a Raspberry Pi (airplay, upnp, whatever), but didn't find any possibilities

I'd love to be able to stream the audio from my Netflix via Airplay. I don't want to have to buy a Miracast box.
I also wish one day it is possible to stream to apple TV or Samsung smart TV
let's start with a decent android dock to play music with a remotw
So I'm not the only one!
Currently I'm using Bubble UPnP to select and play music on my popcorn hour. But I'm looking for a way to stream all media-output to a dlna supported/wifi device. (for youtube, grooveshark and spotify)

I'm also searching for it. For Youtube you could use TwonkyBeam, but this is not possible for only-audio-receivers.

I downloaded it and tested, here are my 5 cents:
1. Add your app as one of the share options. This way I can open my phone gallery and share a pic to the TV.
2. Just list photos and videos as default when opening local device with an option to browse other locations. I guess most people wish to share something from the gallery, nothing else.
3. When sharing, allow to swipe to another image instead of forcing user to press on-screen keys.
Still thanks for another nice app.
Thanks for your suggestions, we will fix it and keep inform you when done.
