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...
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 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.
Hi all, this is my first post. But I wanted to ask what is in your opinion the best video player for xperia play.

Ive never seen Mobo Player go out of synch.
Did you try changing hardware/software mode and trying that?
Mobo player is the best so far imo.
I agree. Mobo Player is the only one I've been able to find that I can stream video with my Tversity media server. Been able to play everything I've thrown at it so far.

Im using rock player, it played EVERY video file i have asked it to run.
try diceplayer
Rock/Mobo/Vital/vPlayer can not use hw decoder when playing file that isn't supported by system like MKV(+DTS/FLAC).
Diceplayer can play MKV/M2TS files using HW Decoder.so
diceplayer use almost same power as stock player. sw codec base player need more power.
Xperia Play have QSD8255. it can play 720p High level 3.1~4.1
I had issues with RockPlayer on my XP, can't remember if I tried MoboPlayer.
I'm using arcMedia Player and that has played everything I have thrown at it.
Android's media playing capabilities definitely seems to be weaker than that of iPhone and Windows IMHO.

You just access the media server address in your browser and use the web interface to find the video you want that way. Then choose Mobo Player to play the video.

Thanks for mentioning of diceplayer - i tried it and seems good for everything but cannot play WMV files - it has an option to play them stock but regardless of what I set it too does not play them.
you dont need a DNLA server such as ps3media center or tversity to stream your media.
Install the cifs/tuns modules (or flash my system.img with it all built in) and use cifs manager to map your pc's network drives to your sdcard.
You can now stream video,pictures and audio over your wifi network without any extra software running on your PC.
and if you wanna get tricky you can run a vpn to your pc and connect to it and stream music while away from your house ;D

Thanks for the recommendation on arcMedia. It worked flawlessly with .avi, .div, .divx, .srt subtitles in spanish failed with accented letters and non-english characters but japanese subtitles worked perfect, and they look really sharp.
Even though MoboPlayer was recommended by a lot of people and someone reviewed it (I searched for that thread but I couldn't find it again), .divx wasn't recognized as a video file, .div closed after a split second and .avi's audio was out of synch like hell. I didn't even check if subtitles were supported.
Mobo has worked the best transfered plenty of BR Rips from PB and they look amazing on the xplay. People at work are like wtf.

don't know about vpn but get "File Expert" from the market and you can map network drives (including NAS drives, i.e. PC can be off) and stream video via wifi (dice player or other players supporting your formats will be needed, otherwise your are limited to MP4 format) - I mapped my NAS device using internal IP address - don't know how secure it would be if you enable external web access to it through external IP and not sure if it would work as an FTP or something for downloading only not streaming possibly.
I use upnplay for streaming over a network in conjunction with moboplayer works great (probably the 2 best free apps iv ever come across).
Im interested in setting up a vpn to access my content whilst out and about or through someone elses wifi. Might have to invest in a sling box

I use Wyse PocketCloud from the Market to access two machines at work - one via remote desktop to take control of it, one with UltraVNC to share with other people on it. But if it's file sharing not just using your PCs' desktops - one of the guys here uses remote desktop to put files he needs into the Dropbox remotely, then picks them up in the Dropbox on his mobile. I don't use Dropbox yet - want to try setting up external access to the network files first to see how they work in File Expert if at all. Maybe TUN/CIFS modules are better for that but I haven't tried them out either.
Mobo Player the best!
and for audio FYI, i'd go for PowerAMP!
I'm using rock player, no issue for me so far.
Wonder if this, Live Channels for Android TV, will help us watching Live TV (from IP-based solution) via Nexus Player?
I use tvheadend as IP-based server for viewing Live TV from XBMC and the app tvhguide.

Has anyone managed to get the apk? I've tried both the evozi site and browser extension, but seemingly nothing has worked so far. It's strange that the Google Play site doesn't let you send/install it to the Nexus Player when it is currently designed specifically for Android TV.
Probably because the Nexus Player doesn't support MPEG2 hardware decoding.

Read comment above yours. It will be visible if you install, for example, HDHomeRun view.
I read that if you run tvheadend 3.9 (unstable branch) you can do transcoding. If you transcode to h.264 this should at least provide a stream that NP can play.
https://tvheadend.org/
I originally had the HdHomerun Dual tuner (uses antenna, no native transcoding possible). It worked with nexus player using the HDhomerun view app, but wouldn't work in the live tv native app (which I think is the app this post is originally about).
However, I recently upgraded to the HDhomerun Extend (uses antenna, but CAN transcode). It now works in the native tv app, but still not 100% reliable. I'm very curious in how to get the PIP and other features shown in the live tv app listing on google play.
Could this be the foundation for hardware that has HDMI passthrough and puts an Android TV UI overlay over the top of your cable or satellite video source like the Xbox does?
Pretty much the opposite, they want to avoid using HDMI passthrough by having broadcast TV done over the Android Player instead of the TV.
I use tvheadend as well, if anyone obtains apk let us know see what we can do with a bit of transcoding. I use xbmc with the TV icon which is alright and works well enough but would love official solution....
Turns out the apk is in /data can anyone rooted obtain and upload it here - to work upon?
