Hi,
I am trying to get HTC Connected Media to display some photos on my Sony BDP-S370, however it's not playing nice!
When I come to the player selection, it will not show the Sony BR player... When I do a diagnostics on the BR player, I cannot see my Sensation. I can hit refresh or whatever, but the only device I ever see in my player list is the Sensation itself.
However, my BR player is showing my PC based DLNA server fine, and if I install Twonky on my Sensation, it instantly reflects on my BR player. I can only think that I have screwed up the HTC Connection Media config - if only I could see a config!
If anyone has had luck with HTC Connected Media or knows what I am missing out on, pls let me know

I've got the same BD player and have the same frustration. I can stream server to BD, server to phone, phone to PC but not phone to BD. It would be nice if somebody has a fix.
Try this app it's works for me on my Samsung blu ray player.

Ok, I'll try iMediaShare and see how that goes. TBH though, the device advertises it's DLNA serving capabilities, so it's pretty poor form that it doesn't work as advertised!

Thanks, will give that a go. Though as airzone says, it should 'just work' out of the box.
Get imediashare as airzone said. I can now stream music to my Xbox 360 as my phone shows up now.

Hi all,
I tried to install DlnaService.apk from Acer Liquid. All went fine but the moment I tried to share content with my Plasma Samsung 8, even if it recognized my Nexus, it wasn't able to share content.
Anyone had a similar experience?
Wow I didn't even know you can do that with the Nexus, I'm also very interested now.
twonky server works with my samsung only tried pics and music so far, I expect it will be fussy with vids though due to codec support in my tv.
might also work with ps3 dlna too, probably better codec support on that
just fire up the app and press the source/input on your tv remote and it shows up in the menu.
instant android media server
obviously you need both devices on the same network
very cool - no config
Works with the PS3! Wow this is awesome, I'm streaming my mp3s from my Nexus One as I type this =]
Edit: Also works with pictures on the PS3, I don't have any vids on my Nexus or I'd try that also.

Which one? The Acer one or twonky server?
The Acer one you posted above "DlnaService.apk" it plays a bit choppy on the music, but I think that's only because I have them both on wireless.
@irajames1176
Ok...I have to try. With Samsung TV I have probs...
I tried out Twonky Mobile going to a WD TV Live and audio, video and music all worked just fine. Pretty nice little app, actually. Quick and easy way to show some pics you've snapped on your phone.
I know this is an old thread... but now that the Droid X is coming out and has a new DLNA app, has anyone heard of anyone locating it?
Hi,
I'm wondering if the opposite is OK. I mean I want to use my Nexus One to access my DLNA server (Buffalo LinkStation NAS) to pull contents from there and play on N1. Is there any workable solution? Thank you.
That would be good.

I'm looking for something like this too. I have a ****load of stuff on my nas with a dlna server on it, I'd like to be able to connect to it from my phone to listen to my vast music collection.
I am also interested in some kind of a dlna player app, which plays music and videos out of my buffalo NAS (now it is trying to download instead of streaming).

Andromote has a local player built in. It sees my Xtreamer Mk1 set top box but I can't play anything from it.
Also, this DNLA client above isn't seen by my Xtreamer. I blame the crappy UPNP implementation of the Xtreamer. Seems to work right on the Nexus one with my PC though.
Back to running a Samba server on the Nexus for accessing my things from the Xtreamer. Atleast that works great!

I have this app running but it works only as long as the screen is on. When the phone goes to sleep the app cuts out as well though I have my WIFI settings to be Always ON. Is there a way to have the app running though the phone goes to sleep?
Thats the sickest problem with nexus one. I hate it...
is there a media player app that can play music directly from your computer over network?
gMote 2.0 has this feature though it is very buggy and a pain to use sometimes.

Depending on your device and what software is already installed on your computer, "UPnPlay" will add universal plug and play to your phone if not present, allowing you to connect to many different UPNP devices over wi-fi. This allows my Droid to connect to Windows Media player to play just about anything (audio/video) in my library. Should have been included in all 2.2 builds in my opinion.

Audiogalaxy for sure. Its amazing.

Plex is pretty good for video streaming
Audiogalaxy does audio well but is less perfect from the video streaming point of view
DLNA
I'm using J. River Media Center with the Android Gizmo app to stream media (it's free on the Market). So I can use my Desire HD as the server or client and send media anywhere in my home over wifi. Solid app but takes a bit of setting up to start.. and the Windows client is not free.
Winamp has such a feature as long as you install winamp on your system and setup it's network player it should be really easy.

I've tried them all. I gave up my zune since I didn't want to update it or delete music for new stuff. I'd rather have access to my music anywhere.
Audiogalaxy- first thing I tried. It didn't pick up all my music regardless of how many times I redid the library. The audio quality was ok but it was a really basic app and website.
Homepipe- useless since it only streams if the app is active. Hit home and you're sitting in silence.
Subsonic- didn't try it too long. Another basic app.
Jukefly- still using this. Love it. It installed on my htpc no problem and the app is nice outside of having to manually force close the service. Quality is adjustable by network type. It picks up my music, and adds new stuff without having to refresh the library. The Internet app is great foo. If your server is off it will still display your library but stream the audio from youtube. I highly recommend it.

I usually just mount my music network share with cifs manager, then any app can access the files on the share.
I see that the thread is relatively old, but maybe some of the people still have their setups working.
Did you do something special to the setup on Windows, because I would like to do more or less the same, but neither my computer sees my phone nor the other way around.
I have another UPNP-server in my Wifi which can be used by my phone as well as my computer, but what I would love to do is tell my computer to play what's on the server using my phone as remote. It worked nicely with mpd and mpDroid, but I would love to have this setup also work with Win7...
Any hints?
Is there any devolper who wants to devolpe that kind of app that can stream all computer audio to the android device?

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.

Just bought a new DLNA compliant TV, and successfully got pictures from my gallery to show on the TV.
But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to play movies. I would rather not go out and spend movie on another HTC device, so is there a way to do this directly? I was hoping for a system where I put movies on the phone and play them on the TV without having to pay additional fees.
When playing music or a movie, bring up the menu, select the SELECT PLAYER, option, if your TV and Phone are connected to your home network, you should see your TV model pop up. Select it, now you should get a pop up on your TV, enable and you should be good.
I have only been able to get the music to stream, keep getting error trying to play video on my Samsung LED TV.
T-MobileUS HTC One S
Thanks for your response. It got me to thinking that I missed the obvious. So, through the gallery, I went to a video, played it, selected the player, and it appeared on the TV. BUT, it also gave me an error message that stopped the video after I tapped "OK". So, I am thinking I need some specific video app that would handle videos properly for DLNA.
Any suggestions?
From phone no, I always just stream the movies off my laptop.
T-MobileUS HTC One S
Duh! I never thought about that. I want to Vuze, and the TV was connected to my home network and handled the movies just fine.
Thanks for the redirection.

I'm using Plex to stream videos (movies/tv shows) to my Galaxy S3, Note 10.1 and Note 2.
Only downside is it doesnt supporr subtitles.
It's not great but it does the job.
I havent tried Plex with any music.. I might give it a try some time and let you know.
You might want to try to change your sharing settings for Public sharing on your Win7 since the device is not part of your Windows "private" network.

Any idea where? Windows7 sharing options are a pain in the ass!
So, PS3 Media Server and MedaHouse app work fine for Music and Video Streaming. But Reconverting doesn't work... Trying 840x480 Videos works fine. but 1920x1080 isn't streaming well. Seeing 1 picture for 3 seconds, some sound noises and then maybe a next picture.
Some1 tried a fullHD video on the Tablets Memory ? Does that work ?

- Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings
- Under Public - Media streaming you will find "Choose media streaming options", click on that.
- From there you will see "Show devices on:" choose All networks.
- If your device isnt listed there by name, then it must be marked as an "Unknown Device" and is Blocked on the right, Allow them one by one and see if it shows up on your device.
But i have some bad news, when I tested that myself and doing this makes it show just fine using my Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 to play Music or Videos on my machine, but not Galaxy Note 10.1 for some reason!

Tzzzzzz Seems like Samsung ****ed up! Lets hope they bring JB Update soon!
it works!
No Idea why! But i startet up Media Player on my Laptop today and then used media house for remote control! don't ask me why but I also startet up normal media player and pressed "find near" it found the laptop and worked!!!
gotta test if it works on my normal pc too...
Edit: NO it doesn't ! But only the Music library seems broken! Pictures and Videos do work!
Installed Twonky 7 now... that seems to work!
Oh well. i've tested a few DLNA/UPnP Apps on my tablet.
Twonky Beam (outdated) and BubbleUPnP Are my favorite atm. Mainly because they support DMR so you can play stuff from any other DNLA device ON the Tablet! Twonky beam is better because you can play music from Tablet to computer and also at the same tame from phone to the tablet!
If you try that with BubbleUPnP it stops the laptop playing from the Tablet!
But on the other hand If you use Twonky Beam to stream Youtube Videos to the Laptop you can't minimize it! BubbleUPnP works fine minized
BubbleUPnP also has a Player control on the Lockscreen and in the notificaton Menue. And it's easier to use chose server/Device and Library.

I really don't understand whats the problem...my galaxy 10.1 finds and plays all my music that is shared over the network (either from desktop pc, laptops or other devices connected to wifi. Stock music player works flawlesly and finds all music if i choose nearby devices. Another option is allshare that finds and plays media from computers, wd tv live hub and other phones/tablets. So either I don't understand what the problem is, or you are doing something wrong. I can even get music to note from my network server over wifi and then stream it to my dlna sony hifi. It works flawlessly. My only complaint is that apparently dlna doesn't support mp3 tags so you can't filter music by artists, albums, ...

I currently using mediatomb for mp3. Note 2 stock player can connect to it. As for movie Qloud also a good choice. easy and play fast. also can play using 3G.
It was a Problem with Windows 7 Media server!
Btw, Using Synology DSaudio ... You need a Synology NAS as Source but you can stream it to any DLNA player. Has a nice interface.
