I was trying to open with Opera, IE, WMP. Don't really know which application I need to watch it...I believe there is a simple answer for the question. But, I just don't know it...
So, no1 knows?
Watched this topic?

Have you read this?
it seems that all the solutions there are for downloading, converting and then watching. But I need it to work on-fly, without downloading, the way we watch it on our PCs.
Now Windows Mobile Phones Can, so why can't we?
I know I'm getting sick of seeing those stupid Verizon adds for the EnV that shows the huge YouTube logo on the screen, and wondering why my WM phone can't. I know my phone can do hundreds, if not thousands of things, that the EnV can't, but as long as there is ONE thing that a non WM phone can do that mine can't, I feel like less of a man. Where do I sign up mfrazz's 12 step program?
and is there any way to watch p2p tv on ppc like on pc?

does anyone know how to format the window so that I can watch the whole video (on youtube) using Opera?
Orb Lets You Play YouTube on Your PPC
I use a program called Orb to play YouTube on my PPC. It loads on your home PC, then you use any PPC browser to access it. It's pretty dang sweet. I have had hardly any problems with it.
orb.com
Well, there are a lot of ways to watch you tube video offline on your PPC. For example, you can just download a youtube video using youtube grabber on your PC then convert it to avi using some endcoder, and then watch it with TCMP or Core PLayer.
However, the main point of the thread is to get a way of watching youtube video on-fly being online with you PPC.
So, far the best way of doing that is using new Opera. However, it's not a perfect way
orb is the way to go. orb does it on the fly also. check it out.

It really is. The only problem I found about it is that the PC must always run the application and be online to be able to watch video from PPC, which is sometimes a problem for me. The rest is awsome.
the other nice thing is you can also view your webcam anytime also. I use it for sucurity purposes . very nice feature.

I think downloads are the only way to watch you tube videos. Try this site: mymobileclips.com, free registration, specify the format you want your videos, and you can get Google, Myspace, Ifilm, Dailymotion, Break, Metacafe, too.
I personally believe ORB is by fair the best thing to cross streaming\PPC lines...I have absolutely no problem watching youtube on my PPC using orb, and talk about an iPhone?? Who needs that when you have an 250 gig hdd with movies, music, pictures, and then are able to watch your local cable service thats at home while your out and about on a lunch break, and then to be able to access your PC and browse and download files from anywhere............ORB IS GOD when it comes to media and mobile devices....not to mention to gain access on my xbox 360 using orb as well without switching my external from device to device, and not using the lame media center....orbs great....just thought id mention it.

I've been trying orb and im a bit new to it. But from my understanding, orb will only work if you pre-selected the videos on your PC first right?
Is there any way to watch ANY youtube video? For example if you searched for one and want to watch it, you cant use the standard browser to see it. How does orb come into play for watching videos on demand? Will it only allow us to see videos that we have pre-added on our pc with the orb plugin?

Orb defines videos, pics, audio, files, etc defined in a specifc folder....when you setup orb it then scans the folders to save the content locations onto the orb server, so what ever you put in a specified folder, orb will pull it in for you.
With youtube, just download the plugin on orbs website for IE, install.....then login into orb on your ppc.....go to videos....then it comes up with an search for youtube....google...yahoo...etc, type in what you want to search, it then show it infront of you, click what you want to watch, then click play stream.
No pre-added video for youtube, just an search as if you were at your desktop.
Has anyone have any experience using the Transformer as virtual desktop?
I would love to be able to log in via the browser via windows small business server to run all of my work apps when necesary while on the road.
I read that there was included software to help with this??? (Can't find the review that mentioned it now)
(I apologize if there is a thread somewhere on this!)
Thanks!

That will be my first project once I get mine in, test it with couple of remote desktop apps. I will update you once I write a review!
I use virtual desktop, virtual viewer and pocketcloud on my EVO and they have helped when a PC/windows wasn't available so its worth it. It would be interesting to see how these apps behave on a tablet.
there's a built in app for remote desktop. I'll report back after I get mine friday.
The app built-in (since firmware update 1) is a free version of splashtop. It works very well.
forgive the stupid question...
But with a virtual desktop app, I know you can log into your computer and make the computer do stuff (run programs, open files, etc.).
I only tried it out once a while ago on a phone and it was neat, but altogether too difficult to really use on a phone. However witha tablet, that should be a different story.
My question is, can you load a media file one the computer and will it actually display on your tablet? Could I open Zune up on my computer and play a song and have the sound come through on the tablet? I imagine that's not possible... but a guy can dream can't he?

That is the idea behind splastop but i could be wrong.. if you wait and soon we will have mobile virtualization happening on these devices.
Holy cow, thanks for the fast response. And I just went to splashtop's website... That just looks great, exactly what I would want.
Is it better than Logmein Ignition?

from the videos, it look a lot better.
If you are looking for something like RDP, then pocketcloud is good app... which I prefer over a apps like logmein which require installation on the client.

Yes it can do all that. It even streams video files pretty well. It sends the audio to the tablet as long as you set your desktop machine to stereo sound.

I've used both, on my iPhone and now on my Acer (the trial, I'm not gonna buy it when it will be free on my transformer).
If you have a strong wifi connection it's awesome.
It's awesome that ASUS includes it for free.
Since I have a captive audience..
Can you log in, play music, then switch back to the tab and still have the music playing in the background (like if I wanted to browse the web from the tablet's apps while i listen to the music from the remote log in)?

I posted a video (review II) on youtube with a little demo on splashtop
and another one (splashtop tutorial) shows how to set it up if you want to connect to your computer outside of a local network

Splashtop
Your reviews were awesome!
i just tried out Splashtop (the link is inside the Mycloud app btw not seperate logo) and it streams video and sound great. I tried it with Zune software and it worked great.
having just purchased an HTC media link for less than half the release price at £44 my next step was to check xda to see what type of hacks are available. unfortunately, repeated searching throws up little beyond the codec/filetype issues i'm likely to encounter.
is anybody working on the DG H100 firmware? am a little surprised to discover an htc product without any dev interest.
would be nice to see a minimal b+w gui & a more robust set of codecs - or is that a phone/pc problem? i'm just dipping my toes into DLNA so apologies if this is a stupid question.
any media link tips, links or suggestions welcome.

DG H100 on Desire Bravo
How are you getting on with the media link?
Your signature says that you have a Desire Bravo, are you using it with that?
The HTC site lists a load of phones that it is compatible with and the Bravo isn't on that list.
Would I be right in thinking that this just means that that phone wont work straight out of the box as it is missing the required native programs and I need to install an app to make the bravo a DLNA media server - e.g. iMediaShare Lite and that then i can *push* photos etc to my TV via the Media Link?
Any tips that you have will be appreciated, thinking of getting a media link, they look like a great gadget.
received it today and it works perfectly out of the box with my win7 pc & desire (same setup as sig).
the hotspot it sets up initially can be logged into through the pc - from where you can enter the ssid, encryption type & password for the home network. that's it.
watching a movie as i type. file is sat on the pc in the next room. selected on my desire with skifta, playing on the big telly.
in answer to your question, i've been using skifta to watch pc based files on my mobile for a few weeks, i'd suggest that if you can view things successfully using that method then it'd be worth adding the media link to your set up. from what i've read imediashare & twonky do much the same thing.
update
after a few weeks use, im considering an alternative NAS hd solution to wireless streaming to tv.
when the DG H100 works it's faultless. unfortunately around half of the media files i'm looking to view show up as unrecognised despite numerous attempts at converting to a media link friendly codec using http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/ - which allows hard coding of subtitles
Hello All,
This is my first android operating system, was always apple and windows before. I am loving my new TF700 and already found 4share.
My question is advice on apps to help me out. I have a home theater PC filled with thousands of movies, what is the best way to stream it to my tablet? Also, is there a good app for downloading things from my PC over wifi?
I saw that this tablet came with something called Splashtop, is that the best way to remote desktop? Or should I be looking for something else.
Sorry if these sound like n00b questions, I just thought this would be the best place to ask since we are all using the same device and I thought some/most of you have already found something good to fill this gap.
Thanks!
you can stream with a file manager, such as File Manager HD. I use BSPlayer to stream my blu ray collection.
you can also copy items from your pc to device by using File Manager HD as well. Just go to settings, LAN connection and scan until you find it. Then just put in your credentials. On your pc, just make sure you set the sharing permissions accordingly.
Im not sure abut splashtop, i use ubuntu, but i hear its a good app.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Sth called MyNet comes preinstalled, it uses DLNA. You can try Movie Browser HD too, for example. There's bunch of similar apps for that, search the market in case these two don't satisfy your needs.
Remember to switch DLNA on on your PC.

The best one I ever used is VPlayer, it's way better than BSPlayer which volume is significantly lower. Its UI is way better, you just swipe to right or left to get local, streaming from media servers or urls. Try it.
Servio and Plex runnng on my home server covers all my needs server side. I stream to a host of different tablets, phones, remote access browsers, and google TV. Plex is my preferred method, but also use Bubbleupnp To stream and download from the Servio server software.
the mynet one on the stock infinity turned out to be great ! thanks guys . im really intrested in buying a roku and running things to more devices now
Hi. New to XDA! Lurking for some time, but registered to tell you this. Crawled through all other MediaLink posts, but none were relevant, or had any answers/tips for further exploration. Well. This also has nothing to do with any phones, for now. Only htc media link hd, a pc, and a tv.
I'm really starting to see the potential of the Media Link HD.
First and foremost, it allows HTC One devices, and other phones, as well, (gsIII, pureview 808, google it to connect to the tv with a simple gesture to mirror or stream content.
What I am starting to discover is, it is possible to connect your PC to the tv with the Media Link as well. (My TV has no internet connection or DLNA natively, so the Media Link is all i have to help me share to my TV.) Pictures, videos and music can ie. be sent to the tv via Windows' "Play To"-function, where Windows Media Player uses the device to stream content. So the Media Link works as a generic DLNA DMR, Digital Media Receiver (i think). Try it out!
I was just wondering if you guys have had other experiences, or knew any other programs that can take advantage of the Media Link, preferrably using a browser to stream online web content, or maybe stream the whole desktop? I'm not buying another receiver or the like, now that I have the Media Link.
I've tried Twonky, and it works with MLHD! - but they have a certain 'media library' you can choose from, not use it everywhere on the web. They have an extension for IE that will let you share to your tv. They had a firefox extension, but sadly that doesn't work anymore. Imma try out XBMC and Serviio (Tried a bunch of other programs, Tversity, tvmobili, plex, mezzmo, mediatomb, universal media server, couldn't get it to work), but as i try stuff out I can update this thread with more results if you want.
Let me know what you guys have found out! And just ask me if i have missed something, and you don't understand anything of what i say..
regards from Denmark
Alright, so after having tried about 20+ programs, I've found something that works well so far!
J.River Media center works as a digital media controller right now on the computer - it sees the Media Link HD and lists it. Now I have to figure out the program, because it's filled with features, and it's very overwhelming. Anyway, I'm watching Youtube videos from the web on Windows, through JRiver, then through Media Link, to the tv - wirelessly! Talk about having a cheap wireless setup
I'll post here again if i find something more simple and easy to use.
But for now, using PlayTo for local files, and JRiver for (some) online content (though it also plays local files) is good enough for me.
As before, feel free to buy in with suggestions if you know anything.
Now, at least i know what DLNA types there are.
DMS - server - hosts content.
DMC - controller - finds content on DMS and sends it to a DMR or a DMP.
DMR - renderer - receives content, but is not able to browse content on DMS (i think)
DMP - player - receives content, and is able to browse the DMS.
So far so good. Again, ask me if anything seems odd here..
