[Q][APP] phone media to DLNA renderer - General Questions and Answers

Do you know of any app allowing to play media playing on the smartphone to a DLNA renderer?
By media I mean output of an app for example, other than media files actually present in the phone storage ... An application acting as a gateway between the phone's audio output and the DLNA renderer...
Thanks!

DLNA is a standard that ensures different devices can communicate with each other in order to stream media. Devices include servers, ie Windows computer, and players, such as a blue ray player, xbox,etc. Typically it is used over WiFi or Ethernet connections.
Examples of how it works include streaming music or movies from your device to your tv, or using your phone to control your computer to stream media to your phone, tv, or another computer.
Okay how do I watch my movies on my inspire on my television?

The Connected Media app, and a receiver for the signal like ps3, xbox 360, or any other dlna certified device.

I currently have a samsung C6500 bluray player, this is a DLNA certified player attached to an old plasma, for streaming videos from my phone to bluray player I use iMedia Share app, phone shows up as a connected device in the bluray player menu and I can then select any audio/video/picture file to listen/view.
But do u have to have wifi on? Or can u use data

You need to use WiFi so the devices can communicate over your network.

[Q] Watch Streaming Video on Laptop from Thunderbolt?

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.

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.

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.

[Q] WM as Upnp Media Renderer in Networks

Hi,
I've an old WM6.5 device that I'm not using anymore, because of a few defects. I'm now using an Android Device with the App Bubble upnp. In this App it is possible to stream media AND also to send it to a remote media renderer. Is there any App I could use only to receive the media stream I started from my Android(or any other device with this funtionalaty) Device? Than I could use my WM as a Wireless Sound decoder, that is connected to my Sound System. It would be really nice to have my Media controlled only by using wifi. I've tryed Pocket Player but it doesn't have this special receiving option.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks.
