The HomePipe Android Application lets you get all your content - photos, videos, music, and more from your PC from anywhere on a network. You can stream music, videos without much hassle.

I also recommend Plex, very nice player and great quality streams outside your home network.

HTC included a media server option within their Gallery App. Just click on the drop down and select Media server.
Double Twist and Google Music for Me as well
Audiogalaxy > Google Music for me. I have 320g of music on a NAS and I'd hate to find out what Google would charge me to 'cloud' all of that.
500gb of music via Subsonic
It's not true streaming - the audio is copied to your device and you set how much space to use and whether the music is visible to the system music app. Traffic can be encrypted. Win/Linux/Mac. Android App available. Web interface. Can do video too.
Twonky is nice but I don't know if it's worth it yet. Have to test it out.
Built in ability is nice but not sure if it will work over 4g.

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.

Okay I've heard dlna here and there. Whatbdo I have to do to access it? Bluetooth? Or what? In running miui right now and have no idea how to do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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...

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 been trying to find an app that will allow me to stream music and video's to my phone. I found the GMote app and it worked well for what it is, but it will not play back to my phone any video that isn't .mp4 it seems. AKA - .avi and xvid. Is there some other app that I haven't found that will allow me to steam these to my phone? I did a search through the forums and couldn't really find anything. Thanks in advance.
Bump ^^
Anyone know anything about this or does an app like this just not exist?

Orb live or plex will do it with a server app installed on the PC. The Android app costs money but the service is fee.

Well Skifta was a damn bust! Only single folders unless you load that CRAP called XMBC on your system and than it's such an awful interface I could not even get a single folder added to the videos.
Has nobody found a good solution for this yet!
Does anyone know a good subscription or a way to stream music from spotify, on the edge network. I live in a 4g area... but i work in edge area. Unfortunately T-Mobile has no 3g, but streaming on edge sucks always stopping pissing ne off ! Anyone know of a solution other than downloading songs to my phone or Pandora?
