Hi all,
I tried to install DlnaService.apk from Acer Liquid. All went fine but the moment I tried to share content with my Plasma Samsung 8, even if it recognized my Nexus, it wasn't able to share content.
Anyone had a similar experience?
Wow I didn't even know you can do that with the Nexus, I'm also very interested now.
twonky server works with my samsung only tried pics and music so far, I expect it will be fussy with vids though due to codec support in my tv.
might also work with ps3 dlna too, probably better codec support on that
just fire up the app and press the source/input on your tv remote and it shows up in the menu.
instant android media server
obviously you need both devices on the same network
very cool - no config
Works with the PS3! Wow this is awesome, I'm streaming my mp3s from my Nexus One as I type this =]
Edit: Also works with pictures on the PS3, I don't have any vids on my Nexus or I'd try that also.

Which one? The Acer one or twonky server?
The Acer one you posted above "DlnaService.apk" it plays a bit choppy on the music, but I think that's only because I have them both on wireless.

Ok...I have to try. With Samsung TV I have probs...
I tried out Twonky Mobile going to a WD TV Live and audio, video and music all worked just fine. Pretty nice little app, actually. Quick and easy way to show some pics you've snapped on your phone.
I know this is an old thread... but now that the Droid X is coming out and has a new DLNA app, has anyone heard of anyone locating it?
Hi,
I'm wondering if the opposite is OK. I mean I want to use my Nexus One to access my DLNA server (Buffalo LinkStation NAS) to pull contents from there and play on N1. Is there any workable solution? Thank you.
That would be good.

I'm looking for something like this too. I have a ****load of stuff on my nas with a dlna server on it, I'd like to be able to connect to it from my phone to listen to my vast music collection.
I am also interested in some kind of a dlna player app, which plays music and videos out of my buffalo NAS (now it is trying to download instead of streaming).

Andromote has a local player built in. It sees my Xtreamer Mk1 set top box but I can't play anything from it.
Also, this DNLA client above isn't seen by my Xtreamer. I blame the crappy UPNP implementation of the Xtreamer. Seems to work right on the Nexus one with my PC though.
Back to running a Samba server on the Nexus for accessing my things from the Xtreamer. Atleast that works great!

I've tested it on my nexus one and my ps3. Mp3 and Pictures were good but videos not . I couldn't manage to run videos larger than 5 mb .
Some large Mp3s were also crappy .
Can anybody provide Galaxy S DLNA apk ???

I have this app running but it works only as long as the screen is on. When the phone goes to sleep the app cuts out as well though I have my WIFI settings to be Always ON. Is there a way to have the app running though the phone goes to sleep?
Thats the sickest problem with nexus one. I hate it...
As a follow up to this thread, let's determine the most popular music player.
Lithium the best
MediaScape not included in the list.
Thread moved to D&H Android General.
Sadly, I think the stock player is the best one yet. The volume rocker and trackball controls are a nice feature. Plus, it just looks nice having the album art as a black and white background while selecting a song.
I have tried several of the more popular players and found them to be fairly ugly and plain.
I remember reading somewhere that most media players dont even have their own audio support, they just use the default/built in audio engine of the regular player anyway...
Stock is working best and with the device controls for me right now.
Subsonic ..... It allows me to have all my music without trying to fit it on my phone

Streamfurious, as I don't really use local mp3s.
Stock music player is so primitive it cannot be the best. Maybe most popular if it's good enough for many people, but I think some other players in this poll are better.

There are many competing streaming music apps (btw Rdio opened to public today). Should make a separate poll for them.
MortPlayer
I've used MixZing, MusicMod, doubleTwist and Meridian
So the conclusion is ... inconclusive. The stock music player seems to be bad enough so that people are trying out other players, but there are no clear winner among non-stock players yet.
Default stock Sense music player is best to me.
I personally prefer RealPlayer. Currently it's in the Market in Beta stage. But it's incredibly clean looking, and easy to use. Plus, I don't have to put my music, video, or pictures in set locations on the SDCard. I can put everything where I want without loss of speed.
I like the stock player on my Captivate.. but for me it lacks lockscreen control and scrobbling. I have been trying other free ones that fit my needs, and may settle on 3 (cubed) for awhile.

Id personaly love to see winamp, been using it for years and think its great.
HTC Stock because I don't really listen to mp3s on the phone (ipod), Retro Radio for streams
What is a good app in the market where you can download just about any song on your phone safely?
No pirating .... just saw some out there and not sure which is safe and actually works.

gTunes is what me and a few friends use, it works nicely.
Winamp is awesome with some really cool features, like WiFi sync. Helps if you also use Winamp on your PC.
winamp's nice
Winamp's a nice one, yea
nice ill have to try winamp. thanks

Gotta be "tunee music" it's the best of the best
Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"

Spotify isn't available for the US so if you live in the US I suggest rhapsody.
PowerAmp by miles

Ha, MortPlayer is da best, u know
Watch out with Mort player. Shuffle songs is buggy.
So after some testing I really like using my Thunderbolt for Pandora, but not too sure about trading it out for my ipod...the ipod seems to give better output, as I have to crank it up to about 50 to match a volume level of 38-40 on my ipod. Even at that the vocals are struggling and the bass seems to drown it out a bit even with the bass turned all the way down. This may not be a TB issue but maybe a player issue (I use Poweramp Unlocked version). While Poweramp is nice its not exceptional. At this point I am not sure what to do as I would like to use Google Music instead of iTunes, but I am not sure if its ipod compatible or how big of a hassle is. I am hoping a really nice music player will come out soon...what do you guys think?
I was very unhappy with the default music player.
I would suggest getting doubleTwist, I find it to be waaaaay better than the default. And after you try out the free version, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the paid version with AirSync. It offers an iTunes like interface that can wirelessly (and pretty amazingly and bug free) sync music to your phone over your wifi network.

I was very very interested in this, and now that you mention it I will try it out. The reason I didn't try it was because of all the bad comments on it in the market, but those are always a bit hard to trust anyways, I will definitely give it a shot
I'm a music geek. I have to have all of my music in 320 mp3 or lossless. And I hqvent experienced low quality with poweramp and volume plus. Just make sure you have the eq off.

Give Google Music a try. It's spectacular! I uploaded 6,000+ songs from my iTunes library and now listen (with excellent quality) on my TB. Important note: I uploaded the songs from my Music folder not my iPod. I have not tried uploading from an iPod, although that is offered as an option in the Google Music Manager. Let us know how it works.

Tried google music but 225 of my songs weren't transferred for some DRM problem, even though they are all paid for music. It looks like I will be going back to my ipod. The sound quality is just no where near my ipod when it comes to car stereo. Still turning my music a good 15+ up than with my ipod. Also, for some reason after about 20 minutes of listening the music just suddenly gets quieter...this is a huge problem and I have no idea what it is
what do you guys think? i personally use poweramp, but i'm interested to see what you guy like!

I use Poweramp Full version & MX Player Pro as my media players...
I played with poweramp for about an hour before I bought the full version. Works for me, haven't found too much to gripe about thus far.
I use Winamp PRO, because it quickly, easily syncs all my music from my computer while I sleep via Wifi. And since I don't use MP3's, my FLAC files sound fantastic. With the equalizer, dark theme, and no problems, it is by far my favorite music player.

Double Twist is by far my favorite. So many awesome options
I am a Playerpro user all the way.....Poweramp is not bad, but its UI is a bit cumbersome. I take my players seriously, and have tried many. While driving, Poweramp becomes an accident waiting to happen if your trying to find a specific song or album coming from the actual player screen. Playerpro is much easier to navigate, much better UI and its options/features are comparable to Poweramp. Both have great album art support, and both are equal in sound quality (I have Martin Logan Sequal II electrostatic speakers that I have thoroughly tested both on). You also may notice that I am only mentioning these 2 players.................no reason to mention anymore!
aight cool lol i might try out all these man lol
I use google play music since its most convenient. Just wish i could play it via another player because its a very basic player.
Really wish i had the beats audio from my evo lte tho shii soumds gooooood
we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
