[Q] Watch Streaming Video on Laptop from Thunderbolt? - Thunderbolt General

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.

How would you use tversity to stream tv streams or jetflicks to your pc?

I use ims media share to stream to my ps3. It has tv stations in the app and you can stream any music and movies you download.
but have not tried to computer.

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.

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.

HDMI out

I was told that you could hook up this phone to a TV to stream content? Is that true? What kind of cable is needed?
newalker91 said:
No cables. You need a DLNA certified TV or some sort of console/peripheral to hook up via your home network in order to stream phone content.

I know that the Xbox 360 is supposed to be DLNA compliant, but I've never been able to figure out how to stream to it.

Use a free app called iMediaShare to stream to 360 or PS3
I tried twonky, a free app. However, I'm only able to view photos by accessing phone. It has a beam option (videos, YouTube, etc) which I haven't figured out yet. My tv is DLNA compliant. Will play around with it more when I get a chance.

Your going to have to be more specific, either that or you just dont realize how dlna work. Dlna does exactly what you said, stream music so you can "hear whats on comp on android", and upnplay is a dlna app. I used 2player. Just throwing it out there Air Bubble turns Android into an airport (iOS). So can you elaborate on why dlna will not work for you?
I think VLC can be made to stream anything the PC is playing to another device on the network.

its your lucky day.*I'm not advertising* Splash top is on sale for $1 on the android market. Just search for it. Its like VLC but streams audio and video from the pc to your phone.
I think the guy is asking for an app that acts like a bluetooth A2DP headset, so the desktop OS can connect and output audio via the 'headset'.
Its streaming, but not application specific!!
What i mean is that if i play a game like HoN or GTA IV or playing music on my computer i want all audio to come out to my android device like an wireless transmitter and reciver.. So i just can plug my galaxytab or desire hd to my stereo and hear my computer audio/sound.

DLNA

I was curious as to what apps you all use to stream from your phone to another DLNA equipped device. In my case it would be my ps3. I tried imediashare from the market and it works but not for the videos my phone records. It says the format is not supported. I want one that is easy to use and will stream all the info from my phone to the ps3
Allshare is built in...
It still doesn't seem to play the videos correctly....the ones my phone recorded...i wonder if its an issue with my ps3 or the Dlna sharing program?

It sounds like the ps3 doesn't have the right codecs to play that file. All DLNA does is allow your ps3 to access the file over the network. It still has to be able to open that type of file, just like if you were to copy the file directly to it. I don't know what codec the video recorder encodes its files in, but you should be able to copy it to a computer and analyze it to check (don't have time to do that right now myself). I'd suspect it's 3GPP, which I believe does not work on ps3 - this is all from memory, but it should help you to do some google searches to find out more info.

Streaming video

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.
