Is there anyway to play media on the TV? HDMI,DLNA,or any other way?
You can use Twonky from the market.

If you have a DLNA-capable TV or other renderer, the Connected Media app that comes with the phone is a DLNA server.
Other than that, I'd say any of the other DLNA/UPnP servers from the Market, but that also requires a DLNA-capable renderer.
If you don't have any of the above, I don't believe there's an HDMI cable available for the Thunderbolt yet.
Edit: Had to check my facts, turns out I was right.
Will any of the DNLA or UPnP servers do a full mirror? Or is it just strictly for media stored locally on the device like with the HTC dnla hdmi server?
Or at minimum allow me to stream straight from slacker, youtube, vulkano, or the web.

Far as I know, there aren't any apps that will mirror the display. The DLNA server(s) will only allow you to render content from your device onto a renderer.
The built-in server (Connected Media) will even allow you to render content stored on another DLNA server through your device to a remote renderer. I'm not sure why they would do that, since you must already have a DLNA-compliant server and renderer... Why wouldn't you just render the content directly instead of through your device...?
Cool, that's what I thought, but I thought I would ask and hope someone saw something I didn't.

I didn't see it posted anywhere here, but if you install the Twonky DLNA client, you can stream every piece of media that is on a Windows 7 Media Center PC. I just installed it, and watched several movies, listened to music, and could see all my photos. Didn't do anything at all to the Win 7 box. It just worked...
Cool thanks for sharing. So many projects I could be doing... where do I start? Ha!

Ok, then I have downloaded the right one. Are you running anything on win7 media center at all? My tablet can't find my window 7 share.
Twonky didn't look for Windows Shares -- it connected via DLNA. I don't have my content shared via SMB shares on my HTPC. Twonky saw the HTPC, connected to it, and lets me browse via DLNA...
I'm running vegan on my gtab. Don't know if that matters or not...
Twonky
Dudeinmyrtlebeach...do you have an xbox or other device setup to stream to? The mediacenter PC might not run the server if no extenders are setup.
Make sure u have wmp with the option to stream over the network. Only then u will see your pc in twonky
Thanks. I will try that.

Have u checked the allow streaming option on windows media player? I had to let it finish the library scanning before i could see my htpc on gtablet
It works fine on my gtab. Doesn't work at all on the X... No idea...
If you don't like Twonky, there are other options as well.
Upnplay is really good and free as well.
2player is a dlna/upnp client but more focused on music. I like that it can play Windows Media Playlists.
Eyecontrol and Andromote are dlna players that also allow you to control where your media is playing to - so for example you can use it to tell your PC to play something on your TV, or your phone to play something to your radio - etc. etc. etc.
Great DLNA or Streaming software examples are TVersity, which you can put on your PC - share everything you want to share to and it will automatically convert the file if necessary to whatever you're using to stream from it.
PlayOn is like Tversity but the free part allows you to stream only from your local media collection. If you pay for a license, it allows you to watch Hulu/Netflix etc. on your DLNA client. I don't know if this works.
Orb is like a mashup of Tversity and Upnplay in that it streams almost anything to your device - the main difference is that you can achieve the functionality of doing it through the internet at default, whereas the other products are geared primarily as in-network solutions.
Twonky is finicky at best. I have it on my Mytouch 4G and sometimes it works great while at others it stops randomly. This is what lead me to looking for alternatives.
Good Luck.
Twonky
Thanks for the tip, Dude... it is working now, I can see my pics/music and videos... now my desktop is useful again (as a media server for my GTab!)

I have done that on Windows Media Player which has all of my libraray in it, but still can't see the list using TWonky or other DLNA player. I have enabled WMP to stream, and still don't see any libraries.
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.

Is there a way to stream to WDTV Live or Tivo Premier?
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.

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.

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?

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 tried setting up a upnp and it worked fine over wifi but doesnt seem to work over 4g and im not sure what else i can use to setup a working stream.
if you have the option to set up an ip address in your upnp player, you could try a service like dynamic dns to give your server an outside IP, you'll have to forward the ports in your router, but instead of connecting to 192.168.1.100, you'd connect to myserver.dyndns.com in your upnp app.
how are you getting 4g to the transformer? some sort of myfi?
evo 4g. with the filter proxy to get better speed

Hello,
I'm trying to stream video to my asus eee pad transformer with upnp (ushare) and my tablet is not able to play video even over wifi.
What app did you use on Android as client? Is this a player which can connect directly to your upnp?
Thank you in advance.
Dorgan
upnplay and mobplayer. file were hosted through windows media player. currently look at a render to use to stream
Thank you for you reply.
I hope you'll find a way to read your stream over 4G.
I was having similar problems, my TF can see the movies on my shared drive, but when i click them it cannot play them using the 'my net' app.
I have installed 'PLEX'
http://www.appbrain.com/app/plex-for-android/com.plexapp.android
(and the server on my PC.)
you use the server program and add the folders you want shared, then you use the app and you can stream lots more formats than the 'my net' app and you can specify the transfer speed/bandwidth etc.
the server app grabs meta data for the files you add from the net and adds DVD cover art to your movies as well.
I didnt need to do any port forwarding or anything complex with it installed on Windows 7 home premium, it just works.
It also says it will work over 3G/4G but I havent tried yet.
Also, just discovered, the app UPnPlay http://www.appbrain.com/app/upnplay/cx.hoohol.silanoid is very good, it allows you to choose the app that you want to use to play the streaming movie with,
so you can use rockplayer moboplayer or vplayer etc. I havent found a single file format that wont stream yet using a UPnPlay-rockplayer combo.
still no luck on finding something that would work over 4g beside myCloud.
I have gotten TVersity to work as a server to my transformer running My Net as the client.
I was wondering if there might be a better combination to play my video files on
the transformer?
First try with the keyboard/dock, the delay is driving me nuts.
Luck;

I use Plex on mine which seems to work well.Coming from an iPad and Air Video this program works well and it says it'll work out of your local network as well on the net, though I haven't tried it yet.
I use PlayOn at home and it will send video to my iPad, TF, PS3, and most other devices. It works great for Netflix for me since we don't have the Netflix app working on the TF.
Edit: I know it is a pay for app, but I've been extremely happy with it.
I find upnplay to be great. Basically it just streams the file into another video application of your choice so it supports whatever your player does. I like moboplayer personally, but to each their own.
Serviio works for me...
Confused
Okay, I'm sorry for the newbie question
But everywhere I go to look for Eee Pad and DLNA related topics, i keep reading about people who stream videos from their PC to the Eee Pad.
but that's not what I want.
What i want is, HOW do I steam a video FROM the Eee Pad to the Television, wirelessly, using DLNA.
what app does that?
I haven't bought a DLNA enabled television yet, but i'm thinking about getting this DLNA streaming client for the TV
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...CODE=GOOGLEBASE&cm_mmc_o=VRqCjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE
i haven't bought that DLNA client for the tv yet.
because before i buy it, i need to figure out, how can i DLNA stream a video from the tablet to that DLNA client.
if anyone could please tell me which app definitely works for that on the Transformer, i'd be most appreciative, please, and thank you !

Hi Ken,
Maybe my experience will be of any use to you. So here it goes.
I am (also) mainly interested in using the stock player (MyNet) for videos. For various reasons, primarily because of hardware acceleration. Unfortunately Android audio/video codec support is "pathetic" as well as container support. Probably those are choices due to licensing restrictions. If one does not have files in the natively supported format(s) the only option for on-the-fly transcoding is MPEG4/AAC in Transport Stream. WEBM could be a viable option but MyNet has no support for WEBM, sigh. Unfortunately Android explicitly states that transport streams are NON SEEKABLE (even locally).
I have tried: PMS Server, Mezzmo, Isedora, JR Media Center, Plex Media server, TV Mobili, Serviio, Twonky, Wild Media Server. Apart from the fact that some are not free only a few have support for transcoding into H264/AAC. Some are more configurable than others. Some have features that I am not very interested in, like automatic download from the INet of the covers, metadata etc. The ones that I played with the most are:
PMS Server: can't transcode to H264, free, very configurable, stable
Mezzmo: can transcode to H264/AAC, not free, very configurable, has some stability issues
Serviio: can't transcode to H264, free
Wild Media Server: very configurable, can transcode to H264/AAC, stable, very strict licensing (per MAC address of devices)
All of the DLNA servers that I have tried (even the non free ones) use third party FFMPEG or MENCODER for transcoding. And all exhibit a bug when transcoding the audio into AAC - half of the times the audio is transcoded with a very low bitrate (~6kb), despite correct transcoding settings, that MyNet doesn't want to play.
As you can see "native" client support for Android/TF101 is very limited. I have experimented also with transcoding to MPEG2/AC3 or MP3 in Program Stream container (or TS) and using other players (like UPnP + vPlayer). The results seem better but not without issues (sometimes not fluid, sudden closures of the player etc).
Hope it is of any help to you.
Cheers.
ArkMC is working well for me, basically as good as upnp player, lets you choose a 3rd party player to play your media.... but the gui is MUCH nicer than upnp player.

Hello,
I'm using the free application iMediaShare from Bianor available for free in the market.
this application makes me able to stream all the media from my tablet (Asus TF101) but also from my HTC Desire, on my SAMSUNG DLNA compatible TV, with no cables.
It was also possible to stream others media (like youtube directly from the android devise).
hope it was helpful.
PS : My tv is connected directly to my router with Ethernet and my devices connected to the router via WIFI.
can give skifta a try, it's free from the market.

Thanx for the tip, first time that I hear of Arkuda.
Tried the free version of ArkMC last night and indeed the UI is pleasant. Has a few quirks but it seems to be an early release so eventually they should be ironed out.
+1 for ArkMC
I've been using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953084 for long time. It works perfect for me.
