I did have the media sync working before, but it would only work occasionally, then I got it to work when I would restart my phone. Now it doesn't work at all. Also at first the music I would sync would also display the album art, now it only displays the green music note.
The reason I want to use the media sync is so that I can play the DRM music I have through my zune pass. if it wasn't for that I would just use the disk drive.
any ideas or any resolutions?
65 views and no one else has this issue?
Well i wiped all drivers and downloads on my computer and plugged in the phone let it download the adb driver and now it seems to work.
For some reason I have to restart the phone to get the music to sync (which isn't to bad since I have to still restart to be able to do the media sync or the computer will see it then disconnect it after 2 seconds) and it still does not show the album art in the stock player but i downloaded mixzing and it is showing up, but that might be because it is set up to download album art. I'm going to turn that off and see what really happens next.
I'm thinking about a pico projector that connects to an android phone, and then streams either the screen (good for demos or web surfing) or a media file on the phone itself. I've found projectors that have the ability to receive a file from the phone via bluetooth, but not stream it from the stored file on the phone. Anyone know of anything like this?
Hello!
I bought HTC Media Link HD and it works very well with my One S. However if I have understanded it correctly I should be able to hook it up on to my PC as well and play videos from there. I just cant figure out how to do it.
I have a desktop computer and windows 7 on it. That is connected on my router which has a wifi. And the Media Link seems to have connected to it since I can see the name of my home network in the idle screen from the Media Link when my phone isn't connected to it.
Do I need a certain program to my PC or how do I set it up?

I'm trying the same thing. As of now, I have tried using the Windows Media Player "Play To"-function, and it works really good!
You can share images, video and audio to the media link. just right click any file, and it should be in the menu, i guess. It shows up here!
Next step is to share the desktop or share from browser, or something. I'm working on that. I wanna stream youtube videos and much much more to the tv screen! Twonky is so far the only solution that works 'kindof' the way i want it to.
Do you not have a flat panel hd tv? I just connected everything and can display "desktop" and YouTube video play fine.
Why would you want to connect to your computer? Just curious

Sure I have flat TV, but the problem is that computer is bit far from TV in another room and I would need about 30 meter long HDMI cable to connect it to the TV. So thats why I would like to get it working wirelessly.
I managed to get it working with windows media player like embql said, but the problem is that video is not running very well. And Iam not even talking about any Full HD clip, but just a DVD quality one. Speed of the video keeps changing, sometimes it runs bit too fast, then it slows down and sound gets out of sync more and more the longer I let it play. Same thing happens if I play the video from a phone. Funny thing is that if I play youtube video from phone it runs great even with HQ quality or trailer from the IMDB app with 720p.
But my TV broke couple weeks ago so I got a new one which has DLNA and by using it I can play videos from the phone or PC without problems.
Help with this setup
Hi,
Could you please tell me how you connected to your Media Link HD through WMP? I activated streaming of media and keep trying to detect it with no luck. The Play To button says no media devices detected. I tried doing that both when my phone was connected to the media link and while it was not. I also connected directly to the Media Link HD's network on wifi but it still didn't work.
Thanks,
Mohamed

Do you have the media link connected to your home wifi?
I have my computer connected to my modem by cable and media link is connected to it by wifi. Then all I need to do is to use the "play to" option from wmp and media link shows up in there.

Ok it just turned out that it was having issues, tried it again today and randomly everything worked beautifully! I just wish WMP gave us a better interface to the Media Link where I could control volume a little better and maybe even skip tracks with the shortcuts I have set up. I'll give video and everything else a try soon!
Ok, I am trying to fully utilize my lovely Android technology, and I need some help... Let me explain what I am looking to do...
Devices:
-Android Tablet
-Several Android Phones
-Wireless Media Server - NOT hooked up to a TV
The hook up:
-Android devices will be hooked to each TV in my home, via HDMI. This will also essentially give the TV's WiFi access...Kinda...
-The Media Server is locked away. And is also Hard-wired to the internet, and is the main hub for WiFi access for the rest of the house.
-The tablet is stand-alone (Able to access WiFi when needed)
What I want to be able to do:
Here's the scenario... Sitting on the couch, and nothing is on TV. So I grab my tablet, and access my media via my network... I find a movie I want to watch... But I don't want to watch it on the Tablet... I want to watch it on the TV in the living room, where I am currently sitting. So, I touch the picture of the movie cover on the tablet, and tell it to then broadcast from the Media Server via WiFi to the phone hooked up to the TV I wish to watch it on.
Now, here's the kicker...
* I would prefer that this streaming media is NOT ported through the tablet... I prefer the tablet to simply be the remote, so to speak.
* I DO NOT want to hook the Server to any television at all.
* The Media server MUST be password protected
* If it's possible, I'd like the option of Ad-Hoc, no actual internet connectivity needed..
So the question is this... Is this possible, using only Android devices and a Media Center PC running Windows 7??
Thank you in advance to all who reply.
I bought a Hi763 Miracast from Focalprice mostly for the DLNA feature because I want to stream wireless audio to a receiver. Setup is pretty easy and the device can switch between Miracast and DLNA mode. I am in DLNA mode and the device is connected to my home network just fine.
With the device connected to my network, when I browse "Network" via my Windows 7 PC, I see the device shows up as a media device titled HI763-8B8182-DMR however I do not get any option to connect to it. When I right click a music file, I also do not get the option to "Play To" the device like I would on other DLNA connected devices.
Thoughts on how I can stream audio to the device via Windows 7?

If you open Windows Media Player, you should be able to stream to your dongle via that. But you need to make sure that media streaming is enabled first (go to the network and sharing centre in the control panel, then select "change advanced sharing settings" from list on the left hand side. Choose whichever profile is appropriate for the wifi network you are on and then check "media streaming" (4th item down) is set to on).
The "Network" browse you refer to (presuming you mean the one under Windows Explorer) is for file shares (Samba or Windows shares) and isn't what you want for actual media sharing/streaming (it will presumably be showing up for management connection via web and/or telnet interfaces).
Once things are set up, you should be able to play your file via the stream menu that should be there. You may need to tweak a few settings in media player too though - see the link below for some guidance:

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this Miracast device just does not show up as an available streaming option. I know that the device is connected to the network properly (I can see it and browse the device webpage).
I am basically out of ideas now as I've tried everything.

How are you trying to stream to it? Using which Windows program?

Windows Media Player. My experience with DLNA streaming is that you first have to "install" the device first. Such as with my Onkyo network receiver. I right click the device in My Network, then select the "install device" option. Then I can stream to it. But this Miracast does not have an "install device" option when I right click it in My Network.

Hmm, my experience is different - the DLNA renderer should just be visible to a suitable source and/or controller (such as Media Player), without any need to install anything, once it is connected to the same network as your laptop (the one with the Media Player, or whatever you are using as a DLNA server).
As you can see the device on the network and browse its webpage (I presume you mean by connecting directly to the device using IE or similar via the IP address it generates on the screen) then it's on the network properly. I would suspect that your laptop isn't set up correctly for streaming out to the device. There are details about that on the web, such as the link below (it also depends which version of WMP you are using, only v11 and upwards can do it) for Win7 and Win8:

There's a video on YouTube (link below) for mirroring a phone onto a TV using the device which may help if you haven't already seen it?

I just received mine this morning, and having quite a few problems with it too.
My phone won't detect it in Miracast mode, looks like 4.4 Roms have many problems with screen casting.
My tablet detect it, but it lags a lot and resolution seems to be the same as tablet screen so not 1080p at all, I want to stream Netflix on my TV, tried several HDMI adapters but it's very expensive and often break after a few days, so screen casting is way better to me.
DLNA seems to be working with the Google Play app, but I can't stream Netflix with it
So I was wondering if updating firmware will resolve some problems, or if anyone knows how to activate screen casting on 4.4 custom roms or anything else that will allow me to stream Netflix in HD on my TV lol.
PS : Hey un Clermontois ! lol, je suis de Vichy.
Have you switched on wireless display sharing in the detection?

On my 4.4 phone, when I'm in the screencast settings, I need to press the menu button and check wireless screen casting in order for the phone to detect the dongle. maybe this helps.
