[Q] Android Streaming to PC - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
I have a Desktop PC as a home media center.
Could you tell me if there is any app using which i could use my Speakers connected to my PC for streaming music on my Android through WiFi?
Thanks in advance.

Well I don't know much about streaming, but you might be able to set up a vnc server for your device
Setting up a vnc server allows you to control your device from your PC, so if you play media on your android, it will play on the PC
This might be a good app to start with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schumi.vncs&hl=en

Need a software for PPC to control music on it over WIFI

Hi all,
Today I decide to move my stereo system away from my computer. I have an old pocket Pc with WIFI and want to set up music from my computer and PPC to play it.
I think that mp3 broadcasting is the way and from my winamp will control everything .. and PPC will receive and play stream.
Can you offer my software or better way for this.
thanks in advice.
a way
you can do this by doing remote control over your pc from the ppc and play the music on the ppc.

[Q]stream media from pc?

Juus wondering if there is a way to stream media from my pc onto the tablet?
Look for a program called UPnPlay in the market. Works good with my Windows Home Server.
I downloaded it but cannot get it to see my computer anything special I need to do there?
Well you have to have a upnp server somewhere. My Windows Home Server does, I also use a program called Playon that it sees. I have a Windows 7 computer that it sees. I think Xbmc can do it too..
Try Orblive.
Well I tried with the upnp and windows media center but no luck.
I tried orb it will connect then say it can't play the video. Then crashes on the computer its located. On
Windows Media Center doesn't have a upnp server in it that I remember. Just for fun maybe try setting up Playon, or XBMC on your pc. Playon lets you watch lots of things from the internet and works fine for me with the UPnPlay program. If that works then you know you are communicating with your pc. Then you just need to figure out what to use for a upnp server on your pc if you want to stream from it. XBMC should be able to do what you want and it is free.
try Gmote and select PlayOnPhone

DLNA - How to?

I watched a video not long ago of playing music with your HTC sensation through the Playstation 3 via DLNA. I've had no luck on setting it up. Has anyone did this and if so how?
No idea how to setup DLNA with a PS3, I am having problems with my Sony BDP-S570. Any help is appreciated.
I was wondering this too, when i use connected media app and select video my Tv shows up , but when I select it as a player it always state that its unresponsive, tv doesnt show the phone as a media server either
Download Twonky app from market. Open app, go through settings tv/other device should pick up phone. Any probs let me know...
Not sure about ps3 but i have used 2 player (free market app) to play music on a variety of DLNA devices.
Oops didn't see this was an old thread that got bumped!
Use the app "Connected Media"
I am using Imediashare from market, easy to setup.. work with music, photos and videos
Great!

Works like a charm!!!
You can even share online content
Has anyone had any luck sharing media to an Xbox 360? I can stream photos only, using the connected media app, via WMP on my Win7 notebook.
I'd like to know if it's possible to share stuff (photos, music + videos) directly to my XB, using DLNA or not, either way.

I use doubletwist with airsync, it allows you to airshare to ps3 and xbox360 and i think a few others too
I've. Used all apps here but no one of these are working on a Samsung home cinema system.

It's dead easy (when you know how, and for Microsoft's definition of "dead easy")
First, you need to set your Xbox up as a Media Center extender, so with both the Xbox and your computer on the network and no firewall blocking anything between them:
1. On the 360 start Media Center, it will give you a numeric code
2. On the computer start Media Center and add an extender (tasks, then along to the right)
3. Enter the code the 360 displays and you should now have the 360 accessing the MC of your computer (you can close MC on the computer)
4. Open Connected Media on your phone and select the type of media you fancy streaming
5. Select the media (for photos, it starts a slideshow starting from the pic you select, if your pics are too large then they won't show for long due to their loading times, but you can pause them on the phone and manually go through them), you should then be taken to the player screen where you can select the "Xbox 360 Media Center Extender" and done
See? Wasn't what was required obvious?
Oh you'll need your computer on whenever you want to use the 360 as a MCE, but you don't need to log in (with W7 at least - the MCE logs in with it's own account in the background).
Basically, the 360 doesn't enter DLNA mode unless it's acting as a MCE, of course there's always the chance MS will release an update that allows DLNA without needing MC on a PC, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

[Q] help! connected media and dlna? i dont get it

I've had enough of staring at the media content I've got in Zune on the pc.
How can I stream this to my phone? I've gotbit to stream to my Xbox and assume to the phone should be simple enough....
Or is it?
Try this: http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/sharing-media-dlna-htc-desire-z-and-desire-hd-windows-media-player (this is for Android but for Windows Phone is the same settings in Windows Media Player)
Connected Media and similar DLNA server apps are for streaming *from* your phone *to* another system (it could be a computer, or could be a stereo setup, etc.). Are you looking for a way to use the phone as a DLNA *client*?

[Q] Streaming from android to PC

Hey guys,
I know it is quite common to stream media from PC to android or stream content from android to a smart TV or Chromecast etc; but is there any even reasonably elegant solution to stream media to PC.
I am well aware that I could use VNC (or similar) to control the PC or access files on my tablet from my PC using an FTP setup, however I am looking to playback media through PC from my devices.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance,
