I don't know much about Android...
...but I'm interested in getting an android phone, probably the HTC Desire.
Can't you just link your phone into your home network, like I've done with my WM6.5 phone? That way, you can just browse to the relevant media folder on your network from your phone and play the file via the relevant app on your phone. I do that for video and music on my WM phone.
Or does Android not allow you to link into a PC network?

Linking to a PC network over SMB/CIFS is not straightforward AFAIK:
You can browse and copy files with applications such as ES File Explorer, but that is not integrated into the file system for all applications. And You can use xyflash to stream from the network using certain protocols such as http and ftp, but not in a very user friendly way.
I'd love to see something being able to browse and stream using DNLA/UPNP or mount a SMB path in the android file system, but I haven't seen it yet. Though the latter may be possible if you device is rooted, I haven't checked that out...

Are you looking for something like AndroMote, or to go the other way around?

Just saw this post; I've been using this for a while (originally just to test it) it works well with my Buffalo Linkstation's Media server.

As I can see, there is no news about video dnla app client - only audio is possible now :/

Not necessarily.... If you have a UPnP server on your PC (TVersity, Playon, etc...) you can use PlugPlayer (plugplayer . com) as your client...

I've spent some time recently to look for a UPnP stack solution for android, so perhaps my exploration can be of use.
I found out that EyeconTroller is a nice media renderer. I only tested audio but EyeconTroller is supposed to handle videos as well.
I've tested it with two android devices: the first one runs iMediashare (media server), the second one runs EML UPnP-AV Controlpoint to act as a remote controller, and EyeconTroller runs on both devices. Using EML I was able to stream from iMediashare to EyeconTroller on both devices.
Next step is to stream from my linux box, but i don't expect any issue here (granted it is on the same subnet, which it is not for now), considering that EML discovered the iMediashare and all EyeconTroller instances without problem.
Note that for now EyeconTroller is free but might not always be (see eyecontec site).

I have a lcd tv samsung C550, they have dlna with name 'allshare', they can display music, photos and messages, but I think this only work with galaxy S, would be nice if any android phone can send text message to tv.

skifta is a great dlna client
i search for a audio only dlna client, they are all audio and video and i just want a small case to plug to my audio mixer.. without any drive i wan't to stream music directly from my phone as i can do on my tv with any NAS and skifta.

DVB-T on the transformer?

does it possible?
i saw this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871391
and this one:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/18812-howto-dvb-usb-support/
is it possible to make it work on the tf101?

There is already one thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261074
Theoretically it is possible, we jusd need the drivers and kernel modules

As davebugyi already mentioned, I guess this depends on availability of drivers and kernel modules.
At home, I have my tablet connected through wifi to my Windows 7 mediacenter PC running Media Portal TV-server software with an USB Anysee digital-TV tuner with DVB-T card (Dutch Digitenne, Standard resolution), also capable of DVB-C. Through the aMPdroid app I'm able to stream Live-TV, switch channels, watch EPG, record and watch recorded broadcasts on my ASUS, stream other audio/video content, some remote-control functionality to control Media Portal software on my PC, et cetera. You need BS Player Lite with the ARM7 plugin (and aMPdroid) on your tablet to be able to watch these streams. The video quality is quite good, but aMPdroid needs some development. The best thing is, I can watch a certain channel on my TV-setup and simultaneously record or watch another channel on my tablet using a single TV tuner!

thanks ..

Thank you for your kind word! What would you like to be added in the next version for you?

wow nice... so cool

Thank you! What would you like to have in the next version?

Versions for iOS and Windows Phone are coming soon

I appreciate the enthusiasm you seem to have for this app, and I applaud your dedication to soliciting feature requests from the community. However, I'm having a hard time recognizing the benefit of your app over the competition. By your own admission, Camera Stream is a less feature-rich clone of the more established IP Camera (which I already use). Can you help me understand how you plan to set your app apart? What grand vision made you say "I can do better," and kept you up at night toiling away at this project of passion?

Please, take a quick look at the short video review to understand the benefits of our app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRuODkzeowU

Do you like our app?

Your thoughts appreciated!

The new app version is about to arrive.

Hey J.walsh, anyway to live stream while the phone is asleep? I do hear sounds BUT no video. Also, anyway to save the video clips locally?

Please, download the new version of Camera Stream app with video stream being fixed on many devices in this thread or at Google Play! We'll make these features you asked in the next version coming soon!

It works like a charm, thanks for this app, the streaming it's really fast, almost 0 delay.

Thank you! The next version is coming!

The app is actually pretty nice, but I must use my browser to get the stream.
For example, I stream the camera from my tablet with your app, and use the web cam viewer app
Foscam Viewer Lite on
my mobile phone. It is not able to connect. If you could just connect to the stream like to any other "real" ip cam, this would
be really great!
Cheers

We'll work on it!
What would you like to additionally have in the next Camera Stream app version coming soon?

Please, order new features for the next version

Native webcam support

I'm looking at using otg to connect a webcam so that I can use that webcam during video calls using WhatsApp etc. Effectively I am looking to create my setup a bit like the Facebook portal tv - stream the phone screen to my TV, either by casting or by hdmi and having a webcam on top of my TV connected via the otg.
My question is does android natively support this? Will I be able to select the camera in WhatsApp or settings to use it in those apps?
The logitech c270 says that is compatible with android 5 or higher...?

PC alternative to Web video caster?

Hi all, using WVC on an android phone -
Although generally it works well, I get it stop every 10 minutes, I have to open the app, restart the stream and restream it. I am 99% sure its due to Androids aggressive battery optimisation, I have done as much as I can but cannot get the behaviour to change and now giving up on that.
I am wondering if there is any PC based alternative that has the same capability? Web video caster doesn't cast the browser tab, it finds the video stream in the page and sends that directly over wifi to the app which runs on the TV, its full screen and high quality and doesn't use Chromecast.
The TV's built in browser doesn't work for video sites, (probably missing a lot of plugins) and cast tab to the builtin chromecast doesn't work as it only works for "specific sites"
Any suggestions?

Do a Google search for "PC alternative to Web video caster?". You'll get dozens of findings ...
