I have used the htc app to play music on my phone to my computer....but can it work the other way? There is a tab on the far right in the music app to connect to a computer, but it never connects. Has anyone here been able to accomplish this?
It works for me.My phone sees all 3 of my pc's,2 xbox 360's and a ps3.And my tversity and twonky servers.

Did you set up the sharing in media player? I guess my issue may be a firewall issue....which if so... I'd probably just give. Firewalls can be a *****.
I already had media sharing setup prior to getting the phone.

Through the regular connected media app I can see my PC which has Serviio installed and can play Video (not all formats), music and pictures. My samsung C6500 bluray player which is also DLNA enabled does not see Inspire though.
I installed iMediaShare app from the market, now my C6500 bluray can see the phone, I can browse the folders on my Inspire and can play video/music and pictures.

Yeah, I can get music and videos to stream to my pc, but not the other way. I think the media share is set up that way, but the music app seems to be able to play music from the pc on the inspire. That gives me a permission error. I have enabled all of the settings in media player, but no dice....either its cool, but wish I could listen to my pc music on my inspire.
I forget which port it was but I had to manually set it up in the port forwarding tab for my network to have it so all my devices (xbox,ps3,etc) would be able to access my full media library. Maybe the phone needs the same thing.

DLNA is a standard that ensures different devices can communicate with each other in order to stream media. Devices include servers, ie Windows computer, and players, such as a blue ray player, xbox,etc. Typically it is used over WiFi or Ethernet connections.
Examples of how it works include streaming music or movies from your device to your tv, or using your phone to control your computer to stream media to your phone, tv, or another computer.
Okay how do I watch my movies on my inspire on my television?

The Connected Media app, and a receiver for the signal like ps3, xbox 360, or any other dlna certified device.

Thank ya I noticed I have to have wifi on
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I currently have a samsung C6500 bluray player, this is a DLNA certified player attached to an old plasma, for streaming videos from my phone to bluray player I use iMedia Share app, phone shows up as a connected device in the bluray player menu and I can then select any audio/video/picture file to listen/view.
But do u have to have wifi on? Or can u use data

You need to use WiFi so the devices can communicate over your network.
Does anyone know of a way to watch streaming video on your laptop from your Thunderbolt? So lets say I am streaming video from JetFlicks, is there a way to watch the samething on my laptop monitor? Basically a monitor out.
Use the connected media app. I guess that would only work if you had it downloaded it to your phone...

or you can share your wifi connection with your laptop...or use USB tether when that runs out.

He is talking about getting the video to play, not how to share the internet connection.
I know you can do it the other way around, from a pc to the TB, but i'm not sure if there is a way to do what you are trying to do.
Can't vlc/vnc do this

What can a TB stream, that a PC can't? i.e. why stream it on the TB and display it on a PC, when you can just stream it directly on the PC?

I'm with you on that, don't understand, but its something the OP is asking about.
Yes, the TB has DLNA support for streaming from the phone to your computer or TV provided you have the phone and PCs connected to the same WiFi network.
In the media gallery click the video you want to stream, then press menu, select player, and your pc should show up if you have Windows media player open and the settings set for streaming.
You can also use an app to stream like Twonkey, but be prepared to download a PC server version to your pc as well.
The question is about displaying video being streamed to the TB on a PC. I don't think it can be done. A DLNA server on the TB (like twonkey) will stream media files to a PC (no special client needed on Win7, just use WMP), but I don't think you can pass through a stream to a stream.
oh, I see what he meant now. Technically you can stream a stream, depending on the app. For "tv streams" and "movie streams" if you stream from a server (not Megavideo) that allows you to use an outside video player you can. These are the only two apps I personally know of that allow it though.

to stream tv well i was wrongish on tversity orb might work better but tversity can stream any video file on your comp with proper setup of course .
so if you have a tv capture card and windows 7 this = DVR capability ie stream shows that are recorded not so much stream on the go.
Is there an app which lets me stream music from my ps3 to my android?? I know the PS3 is capable of streaming audio to a bluetooth headset, and I think there are apps out there that emulate a bluetooth headset.. Help?
There's an app called allshare, but I believe it's only compatible with galaxy s devices. U can try a google search though.

Is there a way to stream video from a pc to the transformer? Using something like ps3 media server?
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Being lazy I just play it on the PC and use SplashTop via MyCloud->My Desktop to watch it from my TV, or I will play locally using a file or mount (SMB/CIFS/SSHFS).
Past that, you should probably look in the MARKET for client software to deal with what your server software uses. If you don't know what the server software is, you should find out first .

SMB share and BSPlayer.
Works a great.
Look into Zumocast - there is a version that works on the Transformer floating around... Allows you watch videos, play music and just transfer files from a remote PC over the internet... Works great!
I use upnplayer and moboplayer to stream vid from my ps3 media server.
Works amazingly well and smooth.
Ill try those thanks

best streaming apps i have found so far are EMIT and PLEX. note that when you want to stream 720p you need a good wireless N signal.
