Hi there,
I want to make an app suggestion. I hope that this does not count as cross posting as I already put a question, if such an app exists in the Q&A section of android. Since I did not get an answer, I suppose that there is no app like this:
Please see my original post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379161&highlight=Audio
I want to summarize the general idea of the app:
I think it would be great if you could output all (or most) of your android audio via wifi to the PC. If you could create an app, that would work like the bluetooth headsets or car radios, you would have something like airplay for apple (at least for sound). This would be really different from using dlna or upnp solutions or remote controls and would have several advantages, because you could switch between listening with your ear plugs to going to the hifi system coupled with the PC without a break (or at least very little). You could output all sounds like music apps which are using streaming services and don't offer remote controls.
As I posted in the Q&A forum before, I am no developer. But I want to make the suggestion here. I think, a lot of people would love an app like this. Perhaps something like this could be done, if you fool android to believe that it connected to a bluetooth device, but in fact it is the app which is rerouting all the audio to the client on the PC.
I would be happy to hear, if you think this is a ****ty idea or if you like it. Is it even possible on a rooted phone. Or is fooling bluetooth to much of a hassle?
Best regards,
Bel.
Perhaps I did not properly explain, what my suggestion was?
In a short formula it would be: (fake) a2dp but with wifi and not bluetooth.
Something like this possible?
Bad style....
I know this maybe bad style, but I wanted to push this thread up again. So I am writing this message. --> "Push Up"
Did not want to bug you with my threads, but I am really curious if something like this is possible.

Its possible but you need two diffeent apps. one for phone/tablet, one for computer. i havent looked at the android SDK much when it comes to audio, but if you can grab the audio source, whether its hardware or software, then you can just write a quick portion that uses udp packets and a companion java app or whatever for your pc that grabs those packets off the network and plays the sounds in the packets.
Not to be rude but I suspect the reason nobody has replied to this is because it is really not desirable. If I am correct, you want to enable your android to stream music through your wifi to your computer which sends it to your speakers and causes sound. The only reason I can think you would want to to do this is if you wanted to here streaming internet radio from your android play on your stereo. Why not just access the same streaming radio on your pc via the internet? If you have no internet, just tether your phone.
I am currently experimenting with ftp serving. By setting my verizon DSL modem/router to "DMZ Hosting" ENABLED and installing "andFTP" on my phone and "serv-u" on my pc, I made my pc an ftp server which shares files with any device that has the proper credentials to access it. Currently I can access files on my pc from anywhere I go, but I have as of yet not been able to transfer streaming media. I am now looking into "UPnP" but don't know if it will work over a WAN (internet)

Setup lamp/wamp (webserver) on your pc, and install ampache media server. Works great and has a couple android clients already.
You could also setup a webdav for filesharing, and ssh for remote io. Ssh is much better than ftp for security, especially combined with keys.
If you run Linux setup mpd, and port forward to the server to allow access from anywhere. The Mpdroid android client will stream to your phone too.
Hope this helps.

I am looking an app that can stream any audio to Samsung Smart TV. Just like HTC Sense music player does with music. I've found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.airaudio but it streams only to airplay devices.

Have you tried using the app called Skifta. Sorry i cant give you the link at the moment not at my PC

I find the OP's app suggestion desirable. I have been searching for an app/program that will do just this: send all my phone audio to my WiFi speakers and/or HTPC. This option would not only allow me to switch to WiFi speakers from my headphones when I am returning home, but also to receive call/text audio notifications in a timely manner when I'm not near my phone, which is often.

Simply run the free AirPlay-receiver "shairport4w" on the PC and everything should be fine
Hi guys,
I just published my first app on Google Play, it's called Weezzler and it lets you play the music in you phone in any brower using wifi. No need to install anything on your computer, just control your music from the browser once you are conected. The only requirment is to be connected to the same wifi network in your phone and the computer.
Sorry I can't post links, I'm new at the forum. Soon I hope to create a special thread for this.

Ok, I use TVersity/PS3 Media Server to share my media to my TV/PS3/360 for viewing on the TV, and now i'm using PlayON to eventually replace it.
I was wondering if there is an app that anyone knows of for Android that will play DLNA shared content (over 3G/Wifi)
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated
now i just have to find a set of TV cables for my Incredible
Twonky works for PS3 but not 360.
sorry, i should have clarified, I want to be able to see my media server content on my phone, not from my phone to my PS3/360.
Thanks though, i may have to look that server up
I think I recall reading the Samsung Galaxy S will include a DLNA client and server app.
simply google samsung dlna, there was a posting on phandroid about it. (i would post the link but new account, first post, etc)

Free player that works on Galaxy tab
Try Vplayer (free) that was just released on the market. If your server or NAS has basic http viewer (Twonky or otherwise) you can navigate to your media files through a browser and long click on your file and select vplayer as your preferred player. This has worked flawlessly on my galaxy tab.
Also if you have access to the pay market I've seen that Plug player was just released that should be able to playback videos straight of the server without the need for browser access.
This was the last thing my tab wasn't able to do so now it's complete and perfect..
supply this link for you: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/dlna+player
this site lists dlna player for android, hope you can get you want
Hey I know what you're looking for, however no great solution for Android yet, the following is a list of programs which will work, but none are perfect, a lot have some features not all, and 3g streaming is sketchy, anyway check em out see if any work for you.
Qloud video
RedDONUT
PLEX
MIRAGE
VLC Remote
I am still hoping airvideo will someday become available for android, this is the perfect app for this in iOS
Look up upnplay on the market. I've been using it for a couple months now and it works perfectly for me.

That app is used to watch videos through the browser such as Skyfire in Android mode rather than Desktop mode.

they have a dlna player on the Droid X. i might be able to pull it from it tomorrow. you can see if it works from that.
A lot of these streaming bundles are a specific server and client pair...
I installed a generic DLNA server - TVersity and then installed one of the many DLNA browser/player apps from the market.. My Samsung Charge already has one on it - allshare..
On my tablet I settled on bubbleUPNP. It allows me to browse the video audio etc.. and play the media on the media player on the my choice - MXVideo..
No specific player/server combination is needed.

Try Skifta.
PLEX Update
PLEX has just been updated and the latest server version and client allow you to stream all your media to your phone via 3G or WIfI, best of all, all you have to do is login to your account on the server and on the phone and it just works. I have been waiting for an app to do this on Android for a long time, PLEX is now my number one program on my phone.

watch on tv what's on the phone's screen
hi guys,
is there any way to stream through a dlna server what is showing on the phone screen? it would be nice to sit in front of my tv and surf the internet on a 56" screen instead of a 4" screen.
Another option
I set up my videos folder on my HTPC as a network share, and installed esfilexplorer and mxvideo apps. I just connected via wifi in esFileExplorer and select videos and play them back with MxVideo works great. I am doing this on a Lenovo IdeaPad K1.
I also run tversity and can connect to htpc via web interface if I am not on home network, works but web interface is pretty basic and load times can be long on large files.

Bubble is great and it controls the volume on my tv yaaaaaay
Skifta is probably the best for DLNA client/server on Droid that is free (if you want you can setup their PC server for playing the media on your comp anywhere via 3G/WiFi even at a friends and if you want you can even remote access your home DLNA server from your friends house then use your Droid as a bridge to any DLNA client on that wifi network. It's pretty cool.
If you're a TVersity fan/lover, just enable web access and use their flash or mobile relay interface to watch over 3G or Wifi (but you'll need a streaming player like MX Video or alike to watch remotely instead of downloading then watching).
I myself use Skifta only on my phone and combine TVersity on my PC with web portal activated and MX Video to watch everything.
(Twonky is good if you have an Internet TV but costs money and their help desk is ****).

Android to Audio Stream
Is there a solution yet since I am also looking out for something like this.
I don't know guys if you are interested into, but there is an application that allows you to stream video and audio and see your picture via Wireless on your computer using your web browser...
Websharing file 1.6.1 apk
Nextapp is the company who create it, I use regularly everyday and is a good one!!
AFAIK, there's currently no way to do a raw audio stream from Android over the network; and I can almost guarantee you it won't be possible at all without root. Closest you could get would be getting a Bluetooth audio sink (like this or the official Nexus home dock) and hooking that to your hifi. There are apps to stream local content via DLNA, but there isn't anything to stream arbitrary audio in Android.
EDIT: Some PC Bluetooth stacks may also be able to receive A2DP audio as well, but it's not a universal feature.
Check out mecanto, it's an app that syncs your music to the cloud and then you can stream it from the cloud and play on your phone.

I'm amazed that there's no interest in this. I'm sure I haven't searched enough and so probably should pick on a more current thread. But it seems a no-brainer to me to want to go this direction. Everyone discusses streaming from PC to phone. Why would I do that instead of just listening to the PC? Now if I could stream from phone to PC... I have many phone apps that let me listen to unlimited tunes and radios from all over the world, which of course I use outside the house. But using it in this way in the house, my phone would not only be the source, but the "remote" -- the controller. Walk around the house w/ just the phone. Beats my carrying my Squeezebox "portable" radio, as I do. Or maybe I need to pay $150 for the Squeezebox solution, their remote controller... Just don' get it.
yes. i also think this is a great idea. there a heaps of pc to android threads.
usage scenario i am thinking.
walking around with device. the device contains song files and player. if that player had a button like stream to ie desktop, home theatre speakers, etc etc. that would be great. sorta like wmp 12 stream to button if anyone is familiar with that. bluetooth has the restriction of range so ideally wifi would be the better solution. curious to know if anyone has come across any updates to this.
I use 2 apps because im undecided which is best firt one is called 2play dnla
and the other is upnp. search in the market for both :-D
THAKS DREA!!!! wow I have been wish exactly the 2play app do... I like to play music on my Android tha I can listen from my large PC speakers!!! COOL!!
Streaming from Android To SERVER STREAMING
Is there any application also in beta test to let the android phone act as Media encoder to stream to a Server what's coming on your phone?

Would be nice to have one similar on Android phone

Theres an app called Twonky which acts as media server on your Android. It lets you stream upnp to whatever device you have capable such as Apple TV, Playstation etc. I have an AC Ryan Playon HD player which is hooked to my local network and I am able to recieve and play media through this to my HD TV from my Desire over wifi.
Any suggestions on the following then:
I would love to find a program that can both send audio and video without transcoding that can manage both IOS and Android
Im currently using PS3 media server for the PS3 and StreamToMe for sending to my iphones/ipads. They both work excellent. Was also amazed with the lack of streaming programs.
A simple solution that worked for me from a windows pc to android was was using ES File Explorer (free), choose LAN from dropdown (top left), add new server, scan - it should then pick up your shared network.
Then navigate to your chosen movie, play with moboplayer. Voila.
If it doesn't play straight away make sure moboplayer is set to soft decoder.
Sometimes you may have to press and hold your movie icon, open as video, choose moboplayer.

As far a i can see, this has the same limitations as iMediashare that i mentioned earlier. It cant play from Spotify/Google Music.
Does anyone know if this is even possible on Android? I am considering trying to develop an app to do this myself as i really miss this possibility both on my tablet and phone.
I second that request
I also really need this feature, What airfoils does for windows, i need on my 3.2 tablet and 4.0 phone.
the ability to grab sound from any program running, and sent it to any DLNA compatibly unit on the network. Airport express, windows media player and so on.
Like Mixy says, all the programs that i have found a limited to share the content that they can play.
A Android Airfoil remote, would do the trick in my case. So that my windows server, running XBMC was the source of the sound, if i only could remote turn on Airfoil speakers from my phone.
I would recommend all interested to send a mail to Rogue Amoeba (dev of Airfoil), saying you are interested in this app. I've done so, but showing increased interest would be good.
I'm interested too ! Looking for something like the sonos solution but using a wifi network connected device and operating through something like airfoil for android. Any reply from Rogue Amoeba ?
I just sent Rogue Amoeba a message, will let everyone know there response.
This is what i got the last time i mailed them:
Hi Fredrick, As far as sending audio FROM Android out, it's unlikely we'll be doing that (though we'll see). We do hope to introduce an Airfoil Speakers (the receiving end) client for Android - we'll see what happens in the future.
-Paul
EDIT:
I should also add that I am playing with the idea of making something like this myself. I dug around in the Android SDK and could not find anything to get audio-stream from other apps. This is due to security of apps and their content. Spotify does not want their stream to be able to be recorded etc.
I'm no dev, so my research is slow, but from what i can tell this app would require root, and possibly also injection of code into the ALSA library used by Android.
I also received a response:
Thanks for getting in touch with us. Currently, our mobile development plans are only to improve upon Airfoil Speakers Touch for iOS devices. However, we're evaluating interest in extending Airfoil Speakers to other platforms, so this sort of feedback definitely helps. So, stay tuned for updates from us and do let us know if you've got any other questions or issues.
Mixy your finding makes sens. Maybe find a equalizers program, they also must grab the sound from playing apps, right ?
But then a again, what i really need is the ability to toggle playing sound unit.
I wrote this trough Rogue Amoeba support page.
http://getsatisfaction.com/rogueamoeba/topics/airfoil_for_android
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849097
I like to toggle speakers playing on a windows airfoil from my android.
and second i like a airfoil grabber for android, so that all sound are transmitted.
So the windows server can see that transmit and you can from your android unit, control the windows server and on that server's airfoil speakers press receive from android unit.

What about emulating a Bluetooth speaker ?
Still protected by SDK limits ?
All sounds are passed through to the speaker, can it be grabbed here and sent to a dnla unit ?
---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------
This is the answer from Rogue Amoeba, disappointing answer. So i guess its time to look for another program, that does what airfoil does but + android support.
Hi there,
At this time, we have no plans for Android versions of any of our software, but we'll see what happens.

Hi guys, I'm very interested too with an app that allows you to send Spotify to an Airplay receiver ... I heard about a plugin for Doubletwist that allows you to stream what you're listenning with this player to Airplay ... So maybe you could check for this to allow streaming every audio programs that are played ? I'm not a dev so ...
Good luck if you try to make an app by yourself, I really hope it'll be working and I would be the first owner !
Its true that you can play mp3 files to an airplay reciever, but that is because the program "owns" the music.
In the case of Spotify, the Spotify app owns the music, and thus it would have to hijack the audio-stream
I’d like to introduce DreamStreamoid.
DreamStreamoid is an android client for enigma2 receivers (e.g. Dreambox, VU+, IPBox, QBox).
The focus is on the streaming of TV, radio and recordings.
You can easily stream channels and recordings, switch channels, browse the EPG, choose bitrates and scalings via the mobile phone and much more.
It is possible to stream your audio and video content to your phone where ever you are, if you have at least a 3G internet connection (over a VLC server).

Hey
Very cool app - works great!
Great, works well - any chance you can add support for SSL?
Possibly!
The problem is, that VLC doesn’t support https!
And using the enigma WebIf over https, the way other tools (like dreamdroid) are doing that, doesn’t seem much more secure!
In a other thread, I’ve found this:
The problem with https is, you can never be sure, that the box you are talking to is your receiver.
Because every dreambox has the same certificate! Or am I wrong?

That’s certainly right!
It would be most secure, if you create a own ssl certificate and exchange it between phone and receiver.
I could imagine to write a ssl proxy running on the VLC-PC or receiver.
The challenge is to make it easy to use.
We will see…
If anybody has a different opinion – please, let me know!
Hello
It seems, that several users have problems to configure DreamStreamoid, especially 3G streaming.
So, I’ve improved the help pages on

Hey
Meanwhile, it's available in version 1.0 and in a cool pro version!
Hi...
I tried this and I have to say that this is quite cool but...
I can live-stream and watch also recordings but:
- I cannot watch all recordings... it seems that short ones are ok but longer not
- Also DreamStreamoid Server this is not even running and these are working??
- DreamStreamoid Server.exe crashes when I am trying to start it?? (windows 7 ultimate 32 bit)

This shouldn't be a problem.
Perhaps, you've tried to stream HD recordings.
HD doesn't work very well!

DreamStreamoid Server is only used to shutdown the computer from your phone and it does work only with the pro version!

They are not HD recordings but about 50% is working after second trying...
I do have .NET framework and approximately 10% starts is working - 90% crashes.
However is there any tweaks at VLC-side to get DVB-subtitles working?
That's all very weird!
I've never heard of such problems!
Must be something with your pc.
Subtitles are not possible with DreamStreamoid.

Tool to restart the vlc service process?
Hello Torsten,
First of all, thanks for this great tool!
But I've got 2 questions:
1) After I've watch one channel via 3G and I want to watch a other channel then 9 out of 10 times I only hear a sound chip and then nothing happens.
After I restart the VLC service process (which is allot faster to do then to reboot the whole machine (which by the way; the pro plug in works great ) then I can watch successfully to a other channel.
So can you upgrade the pro plug in so that the user can choose to just only restart the VLC service process or the server?
(My config; Latest VLC version (v1.1.11) and Win7 64-Bit).
2) Is it possible to use fast forward (or skip to xx:xx time frame),etc, when 3G and VLC is being used to watch recordings? (This seems only to be working locally when using Vplayer).
Thanks in advance!!

Until now, I've never heard of this problem.
It looks like your computer is a bit too slow.
Do you try to stream HD channels?
If you want, you can send me the VLC logs.
Perhaps I can find out anything.
(Messages-Dialog/Level 2)

I've implemented that a few weeks ago.
But I haven't published it, because VLC has problems to keep audio and video in sync. I haven't found a solution for that

ZAP not working
I have dreamstreamoid up and running over 3G just great - BUT - when I select another channel (zwap) the reciever does not change channel so streaming fails.
Any sugestions?
For the time beeing I use anoter app to change channel then request stream - OK
Hi matsene
DreamStreamoid doesn't switch channels on your TV.
If you use a receiver with only one tuner, you can turn your box into standby.
That will solve your problem.

ZAP not working
OK - then i suggest that you add functionality so that I can control what channels to stream from the dramstreamoid - avoiding the need to use e.g DreamDroid to switch channels.
Best Regards
Hi! i am strugling to get the enigma plugin to work, i ahve vu+ duo and copied the dreamstreamoid folder to extesions folder. set passwords and port and opened ports in router. but i do not know if it is running or not ? I can not turn on vlc pc, so something is wrong...
Can someone help?
Hi praun
The plugin runs in backround.
You can't see anything!
Sometimes I will enhance the plugin with a log window or something like that.
It is probably a problem of the configuration of your PC.
You have to enable WOL in the BIOS and Windows.
Perhaps, you try a WOL Client from a second PC or try a WOL-App on your phone.

it possible my pc on work as a vlc server pc ?
im new here i like this software from all other apps because it the only one can stream to 3g.
the problme is that i dont whant to use my pc on my home as vlc server so my question is
if it possible to use my pc at work as a vlc server ?
(my pc at work is online 24/7 and i have control to open any port there it behind fortiget firewall)
if it possible how to do that ?
Hi avinaimi
It could be possible, if you have a very high upload bandwith at home.
I would say at least 7-8Mbit/s. And you should use a VPN. Otherwise it is not secure.
You could use the PRO version. With that, you can switch your PC on and off from your phone!

I have htc sensation and galaxy 10.1 tab.
If I start allshare in galaxy and want the video to be shown in htc sensation,
what applicaition do I need to install?
Is sensation a server only DLNA device? so it can only provide media to others.
Thanks.
Pretty sure its only a server.
Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
Sensation is a streaming server. You need a client, like a DLNA enabled TV (like the latest Sony Bravia LED TVs) or Windows 7/Mac OS enabled machine with streaming on to play back the videos.
You also need to be on the same network (like home or office LAN). Sensation detects all playback devices automatically and starts streaming.
It's pretty cool too, I love this feature. Gives me the option of not buying a stereo dock, I can just use my TV to playback music.
Thanks. can I make it a streaming client?
e.g.: others with sensation could just watch what is from streaming server.

Unfortunately, I haven't tried that. But how it should work - if it supports playback from other DLNA devices - is that you should be able to find your "Sensation Z710e" in the list of streaming clients in Windows Media player (for instance). I can, for e.g., find my TV in that list. Same should be true for the Sensation.
Let me get back to you on this, I'll give it a try.
But logically you should stream from a smaller screen to a larger so everyone can see what you have on your hand-held. Can't think of a scenario why you'd like to do it the other way round - cell phones are more personal .
Just a general question.
e.g. there could be a situation where 10 people with sensation and want to share a media or picture. In this case one of the sensation could be the server and others could be the clients.
I have galaxy tablet 10.1 with allshare. I could not connect sensation with tablet. Seems that they can only be the server. odd.

Don't know of any real-time collaboration features in the HTC Sensation, but would be nice though. DLNA is not the choice of protocol for this though.
Your solution would need a server maintaining lists of clients (or one of the phones could act as one) and the rest would connect and get shared content from them. Haven't seen any app on the Market that does this kinda P2P.
P.S., tried the Windows Media Player stream list, HTC Sensation wasn't listed there among the set of DLNA clients that can play the stream. Sorry, bro.
thanks. Now understand a bit more about DLNA, something so so.

Actually the Sensation does also have a DLNA client - I can log on to my Serviio server and stream from it
When in the music player, tap the arrow in the top-right and you get the option to find a server on your network.

is it possible to stream to a ps3 or Xbox ? And this may be a Dunn question but when is streams does it send the file or does it just output ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I ran into an issue with this still don't quite understand it. But I was able to get it to work once on my pc. The pc had to have the media player open before ny sensation was able to find it. But now I can't get it work at all. No settings have been changed since I was able to get it work. So Idk hopefully HTC will come out with a fix. Or maybe someone can come up with a definitive answer to all these questions. DLNA on the sensation seems to be an issue for a lot of users
maybe someone can make a quick tutorial?
I would love to watch photos and movies from the sensation on my PC without cable.

Bro, you got it the other way round. What you're explaining is the Sensation being the server (since it is streaming) to the clients (which are playing back the stream).

The guy above has done it pretty nicely, though he had his client-servers mixed up. Also, the playback quality on my HD TV was outstanding, no run-time compression (come on, it's a mobile phone, who are we kiddin ) and the playback had no lags. Also, I can play it from anywhere in my home - even outside if I can get a decent enough signal on my WiFi.

No. What my graphic shows is the Sensation's DLNA client logging on and streaming media FROM my server. Trust me.

It can act as a server to an Xbox 360 for instance, but the Xbox must be in Media Center Extender mode for it to work, meaning you need MCE running at the time.
Now with W7 the Xbox will log into the W7 computer as a service account and start MCE for you (once you've done the initial setup of course), not sure about Vista.

You can do the same thing from the Gallery app to allow you to stream video FROM a DLNA device (via Windows Media Player on Windows 7 PC in my case) to the Sensation.
Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. My girlfriend can do the same on a Sense 2.1 ROM I put on her Desire, but I couldn't work out how to do it on my new Sensation (now I have INXS in my head) because the 'Videos' app of old is gone. Now Santa can buy me a nice big NAS for Christmas and I can put all my film/tv shows on it and watch them in bed! Unfortunately I doubt 'santa' is reading this because she, I mean he has a life.
By the way, if it helps anyone, in Windows Media player on a Windows 7 pc, click on the 'Stream' drop-down menu on the Library page (top left of) and choose the options you want to enable. For me it's 'Allow remote control of my player...' and 'Automatically allow devices to play my media'. If your Sensation and your PC are connected to the same router, you should now be able to stream media from your phone to the PC, AND also view media from your pc on your phone : )
