anyone??..
According to specs, Xoom supports DLNA, so it should be possible. Try Twonky, in fact I will give it a try also.
Edit: it seems that Twonky doesn't work on xoom
OK, I found a way to stream music from my DHD to Xoom.
You need Twonky mobile on your phone and 2player on your Xoom. Also works with windows 7 media server. Unfortunately 2player can only play audio.
I wanted to know if using the splashtop HD (not sure if it comes loaded with or not) But I wanted to know if this does allow for gaming or not, just simple gaming nothing harcore.
Doesn't come loaded with SplashtopHD but MyCloud does the same thing and it's preloaded on the TF

Really, if can do the remote desktop thing so you can do basic point and click games?
Haven't tried to play any games but if it's basic point clicks should be do able if speed is not a factor.
sorry to disappoint you but clicks in games are very clunky at the best...Not sure why but my first guess would be there are some fundamental differences between inputs in windows api and DirectX api.. and in many (not all) games, a single click seems to only trigger a mouse-over event and you have to double click really fast and precisely in the same position to make it registered as a mouse click.

well for the moment it doesnt matter as I cant see my pc with it.
tried last night with Splashtop... the standard free version only lets u get 1024x768, while HD can get u 1280x720(extra 80 pixel taken by the bottom bar)
i tried launching Mass Effect from it, and it says failed, cos it doesnt support full screen application...
another thing worth mentioning is that the mouse control(or touchpad) is very awkward to use... it's the same control as android, right click = back, where the actual Windows right click = Hold Left Click..
also, the stream is rather laggy, i tried watching video on it.. it's not smooth, i guess it streams less then 24 fps then.. not yet practical, but got its potential, do hope Asus would improve it in the future

My problem is still at getting it and my pc to see each other, but last night I had some network issues. (First could ping other pc's but no one could ping me and also I didn't even show up on the router as there) But after 4 hours and such I think I just want to figure out how to get a refund from them for the HD copy I got since it just doesn't work for me.
Even after I got my PC to show up on the network and everything else, it still doesn't show up. Load it on another pc boom shows up first time.
Damn, i installed the desktop version and showed me webpage to download splashtop for android. Did this and after 5 minutes it disconnected and showed me a paid app for full functionality. I buyed this, but now after 10 days is see it is included in mycloud. So i asked for a refund and they say: too late! this can only be done in 7 days!

Welcome to the ****ed over club then, I bought the HD and normal one. One for my phone and one for my tablet, and after 5 days of fighting with it I still can't get any of them to see my PC and all they do is shout port forward like I am to stupid to have done that first. The site they have also has limited support.
The one that came with the mycloud stuff I think is the old one and HD is the newer one.
Has anyone used it to stream Netflix from their PC? Youtube seems A-ok.
Got it free with mycloud... paid for the HD version. Best RDP software I've tried and I've tried a few

I haven't tried Netflix, but I've streamed live tv from my PC with a couple of DVB-C cards. This works fine and channel changes are almost as fast as when viewed on the PC directly, so I don't see any reason why Netflix shouldn't work too.
In order to play any game you have to set it to windowed mode. I played SC2 the other night. it wasnt bad but it's hard typing and playing at the same time unless you have the dock with mouse
Splashtop HD supports full-screen, so you can run games and watch videos in full-screen now. As to why your PC isn't detected, have you tried manually adding the internal IP of your PC? Did you try setting up Static internal IP? What kind of router are you running, I know some cheap routers have issues with routing properly even with correct settings.

I've had the problem where it was working and then stopped being detected. A reboot fixed the issue but for those that did get it working and it stopped working, this is what I had to do..

Aye I did, it's a netgear one. My pc has a set internal ip of 192.168.1.100 and at first no other system could see or ping me, never needed too so the problem was never noticed. I fixed it so now I can be seen and such but the app still won't find my pc, even when I manually add it to the program.
I went to the router and already forwared the ports it needed to .100 on my end and that is the only advise they keep drolling out at me. I know this works and was livid when I installed it on a pc wired into the router and boom found it right away, I know the issue is on my pc side just not sure what.
Hi all,
It's my first time posting here.
Got my TF fro about 2 weeks now, generally quite happy with it but have some problem using splashtop as some of you here.
I wanted to use TF to control my laptop at office. I was able to control my laptop if through local network but when try to control it from outside internet, I have done all the proper portforwarding (setting port 6783~6785 linked to my laptop static IP) I always failed
My laptop connect to office router (WAG200G) through wireless though. Could that be a problem?
Thanks
I can play games with Splashtop HD and they run great (even games like Crysis2).
The only problem is that I must use the same WiFi network.
If I connect my PC from a different network, it's very slow to even just browse my PC, not to mention playing a game.
@liorry how do you connect to PC on different network?
Hello!
I bought HTC Media Link HD and it works very well with my One S. However if I have understanded it correctly I should be able to hook it up on to my PC as well and play videos from there. I just cant figure out how to do it.
I have a desktop computer and windows 7 on it. That is connected on my router which has a wifi. And the Media Link seems to have connected to it since I can see the name of my home network in the idle screen from the Media Link when my phone isn't connected to it.
Do I need a certain program to my PC or how do I set it up?

I'm trying the same thing. As of now, I have tried using the Windows Media Player "Play To"-function, and it works really good!
You can share images, video and audio to the media link. just right click any file, and it should be in the menu, i guess. It shows up here!
Next step is to share the desktop or share from browser, or something. I'm working on that. I wanna stream youtube videos and much much more to the tv screen! Twonky is so far the only solution that works 'kindof' the way i want it to.
Do you not have a flat panel hd tv? I just connected everything and can display "desktop" and YouTube video play fine.
Why would you want to connect to your computer? Just curious

Sure I have flat TV, but the problem is that computer is bit far from TV in another room and I would need about 30 meter long HDMI cable to connect it to the TV. So thats why I would like to get it working wirelessly.
I managed to get it working with windows media player like embql said, but the problem is that video is not running very well. And Iam not even talking about any Full HD clip, but just a DVD quality one. Speed of the video keeps changing, sometimes it runs bit too fast, then it slows down and sound gets out of sync more and more the longer I let it play. Same thing happens if I play the video from a phone. Funny thing is that if I play youtube video from phone it runs great even with HQ quality or trailer from the IMDB app with 720p.
But my TV broke couple weeks ago so I got a new one which has DLNA and by using it I can play videos from the phone or PC without problems.
Help with this setup
Hi,
Could you please tell me how you connected to your Media Link HD through WMP? I activated streaming of media and keep trying to detect it with no luck. The Play To button says no media devices detected. I tried doing that both when my phone was connected to the media link and while it was not. I also connected directly to the Media Link HD's network on wifi but it still didn't work.
Thanks,
Mohamed

Do you have the media link connected to your home wifi?
I have my computer connected to my modem by cable and media link is connected to it by wifi. Then all I need to do is to use the "play to" option from wmp and media link shows up in there.

Ok it just turned out that it was having issues, tried it again today and randomly everything worked beautifully! I just wish WMP gave us a better interface to the Media Link where I could control volume a little better and maybe even skip tracks with the shortcuts I have set up. I'll give video and everything else a try soon!
I posted this same topic on the Nvidia GeForce forums but also wanted to see if anyone here has input. Any thoughts are welcome on the topic:
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...sion/wmc-compatibility-with-shield-streaming/
After doing some testing today I have narrowed down some problems I am having with Shield Streaming to using Windows Media Center with Xbox 360 extenders.
I have streaming setup and working just fine on my Windows 7 64 box with a GTX 760 - no issues. Once I connect an Xbox 360 as a WMC (Windows Media Center) extender everything still works fine. I can watch TV while streaming Bioshock Infinite - no issues at all.
The second I disconnect the Xbox 360 Extender (and the associated RDP session used by WMC is killed) something goes wrong. The streaming tab disappears from the GeForce Experience Preferences tab - my PC is now listed as offline from the Shield.
I have tried changing the language as well as restarting the streaming service from services.msc - nothing will get the Shield to connect once I have connected and disconnected a WMC Extender session from the PC. The only fix is rebooting - and things work fine again until I connect/disconnect with a WMC Extender.
Can anyone help with this? I am hoping there is some kind of work around or fix that can be made to resolve this issue. Since the PC for the Shield needs to be online all the time having it also act as a HTPC running WMC is a natural fit - so I really would like to avoid the expense of having to dedicate a separate PC to act as a HTPC and another for Shield streaming.
I see the exact same issue with Win 8.1 and MCE. SHIELD tab / GameStream only works when a 360 extender is connected, once no extender is connected the SHIELD tab is not present and GameStream fails.
hey guys,
thought id share that splashtop 2 now supports controllers, mainly the xbox 360 controller but ive been testing with a ps3 controller (bluetooth) and it works surprisingly well, the ps3 controller seems to have an issue with deadzone with the analog sticks (ive contacted suppot) but other than that latency is low and very playable, ive been testing it on a 801.11n 2.5ghz network about 20+ meters away from my router and it was still playable.
To enable controller support, you need to install a driver,
open cmd with admin permissions an run cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Splashtop\Splashtop Remote\Server\GamePad" then install_driver64.bat (or install_driver.bat for 32bit e.g.)
Restart splashtop and it should work, still the fullscreen game limitation but most games support borderless and/or windowed mode.
Enjoy

I'm having a little trouble with this. I've seen a few other people online with the same problem, just no answers yet. I did everything just as you said there, just as the splashtop website says, that is. I had it say "echo off" and then a few seconds later, windows asked me if I wanted to install the driver. So I did, it installed, and I restarted splashtop. I even restarted my pc, when that failed. Either way, when I plug my Xbox 360 Controller for Windows into the usb of the dock of my ASUS tf300t, it just blinks the green circle and the only control I have is the left analog, and maybe like one other button. Any ideas?

Hmm are you using a custom rom? with my tests i used a ps3 controller and sixaxis app to access it, also does this happen on native android games? try recreate a driver using usb/bt control app

No custom rom. I do not have the tablet rooted at all, which disables me from being able to use the sixaxis app to test my ps3 controller or the usb/bt app. However, you are correct, both the PS3 controller and the Xbox360 controller for windows work perfectly on native android apps like GTA:Vice City and various emulators. So I guess that just leaves Splashtop. I'm nearly 100% certain that the Splashtop software the tf300t comes pre-loaded with is Splashtop 2. But I could be wrong.

Yeah, I did that too. lol. Still no go. I then went back and uninstalled and reinstalled all the software. Still no go. I was now thinking I'm just going to have to use a ps3 controller connected wirelessly to my pc upstairs, but that would require me spending another 15 bucks on a bluetooth usb adapter. I don't want to do that. lol.

Maybe time to switch to CromiX and try? im actually surprised there are people who haven't yet its far...far better than the laggy stock firmware
