All of them are BS. They either transfer X10 stuff to the PC which no one gives a **** about, or it just straight up doesn't work.
We need to get PS3 Media Server working on the X10!!! It'll transcode ANYTHING I throw at it. I stream BluRays across my house via wireless to my PS3 while my in-laws download huge movies and crap via wireless too. PS3 Media Server is amazing. I'd pay $20 or more for a working DNLA program that works with PS3MS!!!

Hi
I have read the letters DLNA in every review of Samsung Captivate. Does anybody know what it is? And or how it works. Any kind of information is helpful.

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....

I'm installing it just by clicking it in on the phone (not using adb) and it just says not installed. Any idea why? I will try twonky though, thanks guys.
EDIT: adb gives me "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" when i do this. My phone is rooted. Hmph.
EDIT2: I just tried twonky server. It works perfectly, i think its better than the samsung app, so i'll just be using that. Plus it look cool

Good question. I am a Ps3 play myself and although i have already managed to stream videos with my phone over to the Ps3....i am still curious about music. I may try it later and report back what i find.

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.
I'm looking for an android app (or even a web interface) that will allow me to:
-stream live TV
-stream recorded TV
-stream videos
-view the TV guide
-manage TV recordings (set and stop recordings)
From windows media center.
I have searched a lot and found numerous apps to remote control wmc but not the features I'm looking for.
My current setup is a HTPC running windows 7 enterprise with a ceton infinitv 4 tuner. I have used orb in the past but orb does not work with the infinitv cable card.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have heard about remote potato and the remote media center app but from my research it does everything I want EXCEPT stream live TV.
Wow orb was an option for free i don't know about recording
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Ya I liked orb. Any other options?
I don't think any android phone right now could render WMC recordings. I have WMC setup with a HDTV tuner and even my prevoius 1.8Ghz computer could not handle decoding.
I haven't found any uPnP servers that don't suck. uPnP in general to me just sucks.
Try WinTV Extend. Its now for android.

Thanks for the suggestion but I wanted an app that worked with windows media center. If it allows me to stream live TV I guess I could just use that app and then another to watch and schedule recordings on wmc
Check out the ipad version on youtube for a demo. Its made for wmc. Its doesn't seem bad for $10. If you have a dual tuner you can watch and record at the same time.

So I checked out the youtube demo but no where does it say it works with wmc. I also tried installing wintv on my htpc but it won't install since I do not have a hauppauge tuner. I only have a centon infinitv quad tuner. I'm going to assume wintv only works with their tuners.
Yep. The software interfaces only with their drivers. Tv tuner cards are super picky with drivers... be glad its not the nightmare linux is with mine

Oh trust me I know. I've tried setting up mythtv with my old tuner and it was horrible! There's no Linux drivers forvmy current tuner so I have no choice but to use windows. But honestly I love wmc and there are very few ms products I can say that about.
There used to be a plugin for WMC called webguide:
http://web.archive.org/web/20100105155914/http://asciiexpress.com/webguide/download.aspx
Support has expired (still works on XP or Vista with older version of wmc). Researching for alternatives has brought up this:
http://bigscreenglobal.com/bgproduct.aspx?PID=BSRV1
It should work via android browser. No live TV though :/
If you want live TV your going to need additional hardware (slingbox, VULKANO, hava, Broadway)
I have a similar htpc setup and was looking for the same thing. The hassle for live TV is making it way overrated for me. Streaming of recorded content seems like the best solution.
Sorry to bump an old thread. Any progress since 07/2011?
I've been using WMC + slingbox since 2009 for this.

It can only be done with 2 types of hardware:
Slingbox or hauppauge.
Otherwise you can just stream your recordings via plex or pogoplug. I am to busy to watch something live so plex works out best for me.
If your a sports fan then just buy one of those streaming season passes and split the bill with 5 people.

It does live TV over android with Remote Potato as well
This thread has been dead for many years. Now it is almost 2015.
I have a WMC on my PC and it has as a PCI turner. I get my programs free OTA and record to this PC. No cable box or dish.
How do I watch my record TV or live shows from my PC to my Android phone?
Any ideas?

I agree, you should have started a new thread, but I use Remote Potato on my HTPCs running off a Ceton InfiniTV ETH 6 network tuner. On my mobile, I use the Remote Media Center paid app to schedule and stream recordings. A bonus is that RMC has a built-in remote control screen that interfaces with Remote Potato's IR helper app...

Thank you very much! I didnt know this.
I got it working on my computer and can watch n record my show thru the webpage.
However thru the phone its a little problem. I can see my recorded show and TV grid, but I cant play it. Do I need to install a separate app for playing? The RMC app cant play movie?

You're welcome. You need a media player app, but if it's encrypted or DRM-protected content, you probably won't get it to play on anything but the device which recorded it.
I myself use MX Player. It's free.
What im trying to do is to get my ps3 to connect to my androids as media servers. I am NOT looking for an app that connects to media servers- there are a ton of those on the market. I keep ALL my music on my android devices. I would like for them to BE the media server. Though, it seems there are few apps that do this.
I tried "Remote media!" From the market. It works up to the point where I go to listen to an mp3, then times out. Otherwise, my ps3 can connect to my android and display all the right folders. But there are some bugs with actually streaming the content. Didn't get it to stream once on either of my devices.
Does anyone know of such an app? Thanks for your help!
If your device has DLNA capabilities, you can use iMedia share from the market.

I tried media, though it wasn't locating my media and seemed to be a bit bulky of an app with all the options of websites to stream to your tv. I mightily it again in a few, but really lookingbfor a simple clean app. I wish remote media would work.

Share Me - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sygem.android.shareme_free Worked okay from what I remember, but I didn't buy as I have all my stuff on my Nas - was just testing it out.
share me and remote media seem to work up to thebexact same point- until I click Olay. so this might indicate an issue that I can fix. But what issue? Upnp seems enabled on all devices. what else?
Any help?
Look out for an app called media server or something like this from Sony Ericsson. You won't find it in the market because it's one of the preinstalled apps on the Arc.
It has dlna capabilities too and worked for me when I tried to connect with my PC

blarghle!
Im very frustrated. It seems this works properly, but there is some upnp error as far as I can guess.
I have newest firmware for router,
Enabled upnp on ps3,
Servers are running on EVO/jetstream,
Ps3 shows all folders, files, and even images from the gallery,
Images show with no problem,
When playing an mp3, it says data is corrupt, when it is not.

I've exhausted my savvy knowledge to this point...
Hi. Try Skifta. It works well for me!
Check it in Android Market.

Air sync
Android device and PS3/Xbox need to be on the same wifi source.
Run air sync and you can share media to anything pretty much. Here ya go.

I have been trying to get this feature to work for a while now, Microsoft has been no help because all of the tutorials involve using media player on desktop win8. The option comes up when you select a music file in windows explorer under the Play tab in the ribbon. It is supposed to allow you to stream to dlna devices or other computers on your network. I have the proper media sharing options enabled on both my win8pro laptop and the surface, but I can not get it to ungrey going either way (play from laptop to surface or surface to laptop). The normal tutorials involve creating a playlist in media player then using the play to option in it, which is still grayed out on my laptop. The surface can see the laptop over the network, and the laptop can see the surface as well.
Later I am going to try turning on the server option in services on the surface and see if that works
Anyone else gotten this to work? It just seems like such a great idea, have your laptop plugged into the stereo and then play stuff to it remotely from your surface. I wish that Microsoft had implemented this as robustly as the play to Xbox option because I don't want to buy an Xbox just to stream music while I have other computers that could do that just as easily.
Make sure the media sharing services are running and permitted through the firewall. Beyond that, I don't know. I've never actually heard of the functionality like you describe - PlayTo is intended for devices (i.e. "not computers" where a Windows RT tablet is a computer, but an Xbox 360 is a device). There are (much) cheaper DLNA receivers than Xbxoes, incidentally.
I use the play to now and again, I stream video files to my DLNA TV. Though I tend to prefer to use my laptop for this due to its support for mp4/mkv files. Just ensure the device ur streaming to comes up in the devices part of the metro settings, and as mentioned, ensure your firewall isn't blocking it.

Unfortunately, it has to be a Microsoft-certified DLNA receiver for Metro apps to be able to share to it. There are a bunch of those, but it's not quite as easy as just getting a DLNA receiver. You can use Play To to a non-certified receiver from the desktop though.
For the original poster, to be able to Play To a laptop, you need to enable an option in Windows Media Player and have that open. The option is "Allow Remote Control of my player" under the Stream menu (in WMP12 at least).
@jhoff80: Cool, thanks for the tip, didn't know about that feature!
@Doggydude: Be aware that Windows RT doesn't include Media Player, so it may be unable to receive DLNA. The other direction should, in theory, work after enabling it as jhoff80 suggested.
Thanks for your input guys, I will continue to work on native play to, but courtesy of a pm from neoncell who doesn't have full permissions yet there is an app called play to receiver in the store that should do what I want fairly well.
@jhoff80 I have that option enabled
@feygor I haven't checked if it shows up in devices, il check that out thanks. Both my computers and router's firewall allow it I believe
@gooddaytodie I might look into a receiver, but I'd rather just use existing hardware. My stereo and tv are too old to have even basic internet support. I wish that Microsoft had implemented other device options other than just an Xbox for native media streaming in their music and video apps.
My Samsung TV is not Microsoft certified. Does that mean I need this Play To app/program to stream video from my tablet to my tv? How do I get it?
im fairly sure the answer is no, but does anyone know if it is possible to use the play to feature to send streaming media in a browser to an xbox?

That means you have to do it from the desktop. Right click (tap-and-hold) on the MP3 audio file or MP4 video file that you want to play to your TV, and it should give you the option to Play To, with a callout menu that lists your TV. That will give you a small set of controls to play the video or audio file, with playlist functionality there as well. (Looks like they just pulled the necessary parts from WMP).
