Stream Videos, Music, Pic from PC to Phone - Motorola Atrix 2

OK, So i have read the related pre-existing threads and none of them answer my question.
I have tried apps like Emit, Gmote, VLC stream & convert but none of them are able to play media on my phone. They basically act as remote control to play media of PC using mobile (Emit can stream videos & music but not pics). I want to play the media (including pics) available on my PC, on my phone. How do I do that? My phone is not rooted.

This does what you are looking for, allows you to stream movies, music, and pictures... and allows you to download any file you have on your pc to your phone!

That was the first thing i tried. That is the worst choice. It requires internet to stream. Why do I need internet man? It's like if someone want to go to south america from north america, he goes to japan first, then antarctica, then south america. Thats the motocast way.
I mean, I have tethering and bluetooth. I want to use that to stream and not waste my precious internet bandwidth to stream things which I already have on PC.

i use file manager as well as zumocast. filemanager for me only works when im at home on wifi, so im not 100% sure if it uses data or not. click the network tap, scan for networks, and log in with the same user name and password that you use on your pc. you can also move files from your phone to your pc this way, and delete, move, and change files on your pc from your phone as well. full remote control.

I use TVersity. It allows your phone to view/stream anything you have in its library. With port forwarding set up and a static IP (i use No-IP) you can set it to stream either via wifi within your network, or remotely via your data or wifi connection if not at home. The navigation is a bit clunky but it streams nicely.

PS3Media Server on your computer with UPNPlay on your phone. Works great!

I get what you're saying, you are trying to do so while home.
Wouldn't anything you use require internet? Lol whether wifi or mobile? Even a dlna manager would require internet.
I guess you are looking for a wireless Bluetooth transmitter. Not sure I can offer much help, sorry bud

DLNA doesn't require internet, just a network. Streaming from PC shouldn't require any internet connection,as long as you're on the same network, obviously.

How do i use DLNA with Atrix 2? The atrix 2 website says following, but there is no app called DLNA or Media Share in my phone !!
"The ATRIX 2 offers two applications to help you share your media with other DLNA devices:
Media Share: The Media Share app is a DLNA connection wizard that will guide you through the easy setup steps for connecting your phone to other DLNA devices. If you're new to DLNA devices and how they work, start here. Media Share makes using the DLNA app simpler.
DLNA: This app lets you expand the ways you can enjoy your photos and videos on a DLNA Certified HDTV or monitor, using your own Wi-Fi network. The DLNA app is what enables your ATRIX 2 to connect to other DLNA devices"

When u go into the my music app and press the button to bring up the menu there it is dlna servers

Just use ES Explorer, scan your PC IP, then type user name and password and you can access all of your partitions

I use UPnPlay for DLNA..since I am on Linux,I use Rygel on my linux desktop to add the folders to be visible in DLNA app.

Android app DNLA Client???

Hello. I fount, that I can serve the media content from android phone through Twonky server to my PC. But I want retrograde app - the android DNLA media CLIENT - to play the streamed video or audio on my Android phone - from my PC media library.
Any idea?
Thanx!!!
rooomish
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.

DLNA in Samsung Captivate

basically you can share stuff over a network or wifi to yer mobile device...that is what AllShare is for.
For example... I can stream (via WiFi) videos from my Windows 7 computer to my Captivate. I can also do the reverse and stream videos from my Captivate to my computer's Windows Media Player or my hacked WDTV media player.

I don't have a PS3, but if you have and want to try it over Windows 7:
For Windows 7->Captivate, you'll need to go to "Network and Sharing Center" and turn on "media streaming" somewhere in there. The files must be added in Windows Media Player's library. In the Captivate, select play from a server.
For Captivate->Windows 7, the Captivate's name shows up in Windows Media Player's left side. Click it and it shows the list of what's on the phone. In Captivate, just start All Share (nothing else).
anyone know how to have All Share NOT stretch the resolution of the incoming video and keep the aspect ratio of the file?

Annoying, isn't it?
In the actual "Video Player" app you can control how the video gets stretched - but not in the AllShare player. Why Samsung would choose to torture us like this is beyond me, but it makes me hate them so very much.
I will pay anyone who can figure out how to hack that size/aspect button from the video player to the allshare player.
Interesting....

If your Ps3 and phone are connected on the same network then they should "see" each other fine. If you scroll down on your Movies category on the Ps3 you will see your phone listed there.
Well, I can see my phone in Movies, Music and Photos on PS3. I can even see the songs and the photos I have on my phone. However, when I try to play a track I get DLNA 2104 error. I can see the thumbnails of the photos but when I try to view it I get a "network error". Is it possbile that this happens because my Netgear router is not configured as an Access Point?

Oh ok. I got that same error as well. Basically you want to make sure that:
A) Your Firewall (whether its 3rd party or just windows xp/ vista/ etc) is set to allow your device (ps3/ phone) to stream and share files.
B) Allow "network and sharing" center's Discovery mode and "file sharing" within Windows (or whatever OS you are running).
c) Also tell your net-gear that your Ps3 and phone are allowed to share files as well. I'm not quite sure how Netgear has their firewall setup. You may have to open DMZ (wouldnt recommend it tho).
I think theres more....ill have to post back when i remember all my steps...lol
a) What the Firewall on my computer has to do with the connection between the phone and PS3?
b) Similar to a). It's about the phone and the PS3 not the computer, right?
c) I'm not sure how do I do that.

[Q] Streaming from Android to PC

Sorry if there is already a thread for this.

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.

[APP REQUEST] Android DLNA WAN Player

I've got a UPNP DLNA compatible plugin going in foobar2000 right now.
http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_upnp
I just wanted to know if anyone has seen an app like this (with WAN compatibility)?
Orb seems like the closest thing, but thats a pricey $10 and it doesn't interface foobar.
Try "Twonky Server"
Im using it with my PS3 to stream.
You completely misread what my intentions are.
I need an application that is a UPNP DLNA PLAYER that lets you access the server from OUTSIDE your local network
I have no desire to:
1) stream to a tv
2) use wifi
I wish to:
1) Listen to all the music stored on my computer (stream via foobar2000 rather than some other 3rd party software)
2) not use wifi
You could use winamp remote on your computer as the server, and then just go to http://winamp.orb.com from your phone and stream the music you want.
Winamp remote is Orb...
It'd be easier if the remote end would mirror whatever i have existing in my media player (playlists, playcounts, etc), rather than have them separate and different.
I'm still looking for something to interface foobar's UPnP server over WAN

Did you try Andromote? It's been a while but that may only still be for LAN.
For streaming my music over 3g I use subsonic (www.subsonic.org) and set up two profiles on my phone. One for wifi and one for 3g. You may have to trigger port 80 in the forwarding section of your router.

Chances are low you will actually find an DLNA-over-WAN solution, as DLNA/UPnP use multicast broadcasts to interface with eachother.
Maybe you could try setting up a VPN connection from phone to your home and go from there?

x2... i hadnt thought of that. VPN tunneling into your local network would probably be the only chance of something DLNA actually working over WAN.
I'm actually trying to achieve the same thing. I connect to my home LAN via VPN on android 2.3 but all DLNA apps (and I've tried loads in the marketplace) close after stating that I'm not connected via WiFi. Is there a fundamental reason why VPN isnt a suitable connection to consider when building an app? No one seems to have thought of this... shame. Who will be the first to amend their app? Please let me know if you have something to try.
If you use a server that doesn't require user+pass the app "UPNPlay" is absolutely lovely. And it works perfectly over mobile connections and from remote places.

[Q] Way to stream desktop iTunes on Nexus 5?

I want to be able to listen to my entire itunes through streaming onto my Nexus 5 and I know there's apps which do this like Doubletwist. But the problem is my desktop does not run through wifi, its a wired connection. So I was wondering if theres an app which doesn't need the same wifi on your Android device as your desktop.
Thanks
Have you tried the apps? Usually if the computer is connected to the same network by Ethernet it'll work for apps that use it, I know things like WiFi mouse etc do. Or ditch iTunes and upload your music to Google play, it'll take a while but you'll save hours by not having to use the worst piece of software in existence.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can control and listen to iTunes, even though the desktop is not on the wireless. My home system is like that (the primary desktop mac is a wired ethernet into my LAN and has its wifi card turned off).
In order for your N5 (any wifi client) to work this way requires your wireless (wifi) router to be in access point mode (which is NOT the default), not in normal router mode. How easy this is to do depends entirely on your particular wifi router, and your skill at configuring it.
(When your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can use AirBubble on your N5 to receive the audio from iTunes on your desktop machine, and you can use Remote for iTunes to control the running iTunes on your desktop. Works very well).

You could try subsonic. it wont interfere with itunes ( ugh ) and it will convert your flac and ogg and movie files on the fly too. Then get dSub for your android and you will never use itunes again. Subsonic is a free open source media server you install on your pc that streams to your phone or any device, no clunky uploading to the cloud. Dsub is a pay for app but I have paid for it twice its that good and dev works hard on it, constantly updating it.

So far, the problem I'm up to I think is the port forwarding. Seems the custom URL for your name doesn't connect and possibly due to not successfully port forwarding. I am also using my university's wired connection. Could that be why?

Go into your router settings > Go to port forwarding > Give it a name Music Streaming > Enter the port and forward it to the internal IP.

Scratch what I wrote. I didn't see you were on a university network. Not sure you're going to have much luck with port forwarding.

How about just downloading the Google Music Manager, uploading your library to Google Play Music and stream it anywhere on any network...

Why , Dear deity, would you take the huge time/BW to upload what you already have digitally and could serve up to yourself at a cost of no time at all?? And still stream it anywhere on the net and keep control of it yourself ?
I hate being evangelistic but this is really a no brainer once you understand how Subsonic works
