I bought a Hi763 Miracast from Focalprice mostly for the DLNA feature because I want to stream wireless audio to a receiver. Setup is pretty easy and the device can switch between Miracast and DLNA mode. I am in DLNA mode and the device is connected to my home network just fine.
With the device connected to my network, when I browse "Network" via my Windows 7 PC, I see the device shows up as a media device titled HI763-8B8182-DMR however I do not get any option to connect to it. When I right click a music file, I also do not get the option to "Play To" the device like I would on other DLNA connected devices.
Thoughts on how I can stream audio to the device via Windows 7?

If you open Windows Media Player, you should be able to stream to your dongle via that. But you need to make sure that media streaming is enabled first (go to the network and sharing centre in the control panel, then select "change advanced sharing settings" from list on the left hand side. Choose whichever profile is appropriate for the wifi network you are on and then check "media streaming" (4th item down) is set to on).
The "Network" browse you refer to (presuming you mean the one under Windows Explorer) is for file shares (Samba or Windows shares) and isn't what you want for actual media sharing/streaming (it will presumably be showing up for management connection via web and/or telnet interfaces).
Once things are set up, you should be able to play your file via the stream menu that should be there. You may need to tweak a few settings in media player too though - see the link below for some guidance:

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this Miracast device just does not show up as an available streaming option. I know that the device is connected to the network properly (I can see it and browse the device webpage).
I am basically out of ideas now as I've tried everything.

How are you trying to stream to it? Using which Windows program?

Windows Media Player. My experience with DLNA streaming is that you first have to "install" the device first. Such as with my Onkyo network receiver. I right click the device in My Network, then select the "install device" option. Then I can stream to it. But this Miracast does not have an "install device" option when I right click it in My Network.

Hmm, my experience is different - the DLNA renderer should just be visible to a suitable source and/or controller (such as Media Player), without any need to install anything, once it is connected to the same network as your laptop (the one with the Media Player, or whatever you are using as a DLNA server).
As you can see the device on the network and browse its webpage (I presume you mean by connecting directly to the device using IE or similar via the IP address it generates on the screen) then it's on the network properly. I would suspect that your laptop isn't set up correctly for streaming out to the device. There are details about that on the web, such as the link below (it also depends which version of WMP you are using, only v11 and upwards can do it) for Win7 and Win8:

I just received mine this morning, and having quite a few problems with it too.
My phone won't detect it in Miracast mode, looks like 4.4 Roms have many problems with screen casting.
My tablet detect it, but it lags a lot and resolution seems to be the same as tablet screen so not 1080p at all, I want to stream Netflix on my TV, tried several HDMI adapters but it's very expensive and often break after a few days, so screen casting is way better to me.
DLNA seems to be working with the Google Play app, but I can't stream Netflix with it
So I was wondering if updating firmware will resolve some problems, or if anyone knows how to activate screen casting on 4.4 custom roms or anything else that will allow me to stream Netflix in HD on my TV lol.
PS : Hey un Clermontois ! lol, je suis de Vichy.
Have you switched on wireless display sharing in the detection?

On my 4.4 phone, when I'm in the screencast settings, I need to press the menu button and check wireless screen casting in order for the phone to detect the dongle. maybe this helps.

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!
Ok, I am trying to fully utilize my lovely Android technology, and I need some help... Let me explain what I am looking to do...
Devices:
-Android Tablet
-Several Android Phones
-Wireless Media Server - NOT hooked up to a TV
The hook up:
-Android devices will be hooked to each TV in my home, via HDMI. This will also essentially give the TV's WiFi access...Kinda...
-The Media Server is locked away. And is also Hard-wired to the internet, and is the main hub for WiFi access for the rest of the house.
-The tablet is stand-alone (Able to access WiFi when needed)
What I want to be able to do:
Here's the scenario... Sitting on the couch, and nothing is on TV. So I grab my tablet, and access my media via my network... I find a movie I want to watch... But I don't want to watch it on the Tablet... I want to watch it on the TV in the living room, where I am currently sitting. So, I touch the picture of the movie cover on the tablet, and tell it to then broadcast from the Media Server via WiFi to the phone hooked up to the TV I wish to watch it on.
Now, here's the kicker...
* I would prefer that this streaming media is NOT ported through the tablet... I prefer the tablet to simply be the remote, so to speak.
* I DO NOT want to hook the Server to any television at all.
* The Media server MUST be password protected
* If it's possible, I'd like the option of Ad-Hoc, no actual internet connectivity needed..
So the question is this... Is this possible, using only Android devices and a Media Center PC running Windows 7??
Thank you in advance to all who reply.
What's up all.
So here's my thought... Is there a device out there to plug into a TV's HDMI port that will let me send video files wirelessly to it from my phone/computer so that I can watch the videos on the big screen instead of my phone/computer screen?
A few ideas:
- Is there a HDMI-to-bluetooth adapter/dongle that I could plug into the TV and send the videos bluetooth-ly to?
- Is there a HDMI-"SmartTV-creating" adapter (I've seen things like "Android mini pc"s on the 'net) that I could use to transform my TV into a SmartTV or an android "tablet/computer-like-device" and then send the video files from one device to the other? i.e. - devices like this one... http://www.amazon.com/UG007B-Quad-C...d=1389321213&sr=8-13&keywords=android+mini+pc with a wireless keyboard as well of course, and using either bluetooth or a wifi signal to send from my phone/computer to either stream, or transfer the file then watch.
- From what I know the Chromecast device at this time cannot do this, and only works for specific apps like HBO GO, Netflix, Hulu, etc., not for sending straight video files stored on a phone/tablet, but are there other such devices out there that do what I am looking to do?
Thanks all in advance for the help!
Apart from all the other proprietary sets on the market, the wi-fi (802.11/...) USB dongle appear to be an easy way to connect your mobile/laptop/TV to the TV set. The disadvantage is the short range of about 10 feet, unless you use a wi-fi access point to extend the distance range.
On the TV side, attach a HDMI dongle
On a PC, attach wi-fi USB dongle. I think you will need a streaming software.
On a tablet, attach a OTG (On-The-Go) mini-USB-to-USB adapter and then the wi-fi USB dongle. Again, I would think you need a streaming software.
On a mobile phone, it will be more of a challenge. You could do wired-wireless combo:
Phone-to-computer using screen capture application (wi-fi, USB or Bluetooth), then Computer-to-TV via the wi-fi USB option above.

Thanks for the ideas, and I agree that link was an interesting read.
After thinking, I think the way I'll go about this is using Google Drive and an Android mini pc TV adapter. I can drop the video files (or whatever) into the drive on my computer or phone, then sync my TV Android to get the files to play.
Hey everyone, can you test your screen mirroring feature on your phone and tell me if it works? I can't find many bug reports about it. For me it doesn't work.
My OnePlus 6 can presently cast the screen directly to my Roku stick and Roku TV without any issues.
I bought a 7 Pro (Oxygen OS 9.5.3 GM21AA) and enabled "wireless display" and this is what happens:
- I select Cast from the drop-down notification bar
- It searches forever without finding anything
- I click Settings
- It finally finds and shows me my available Roku device (or any TV that has screen mirroring)
- I select the one I want
- It says connecting
- instead of connecting, the list of eligible devices, including the one I am connecting to goes blank
- The list gets reset and nothing is connecting
Any attempt to try again, after I reset my phone, restarted my modem and my WiFi etc gives me the same situation.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I hate when older devices work great and newer ones don't. Both are running Android 9.
No? Just me? Lol
Hi, for me it works. Chromecast, shield tv, google home or integrated cast.
BUT, there is an issue with the resolution, my tv is 1080p, source too, but I have black margins around..
@cainman
1. You must have WIFI enable to be able to use Screen Mirroring.
2. Go to Cast setting and tap the 3dots and enable it.

I have a cheap cinese tablet (a teclast P80X, see http://www.teclast.com/en/zt/P80X/) that does not directly support screen sharing/casting, wireless display or whatever else is that called.
I'd like to mirror the display to a Samsung smart TV but I'd be okay also to mirror the display to the Windows HTPC that is connected to the TV.
Any reasonably working options? Most of the apps available on the Play Store are just wrappers around the built-in wireless display support that is not available on this tablet. TIA.

There are mobile app/PC program combinations that work together to share the screen to your PC if they are both on the same wireless network. If you have a PC or a laptop, you can use these app/program combinations to share the tablets screen to the PC or laptop then connect the PC or laptop to the smart tv via the PC input port on the tv and the PC or laptop's screen will be displayed on the TV.
It's a bit of a roundabout, but, given that your hardware does not support screen sharing, you will not find a software solution to achieve this, you will have to use some kind of external hardware.
If you can find an app on the tv that has a companion app for your tablet that work together in the same manner as the mobile app/PC program combinations.
A Google search for
"Share android screen to PC over Wifi"
Should find many android/PC screen sharing solutions. Find one that works and that you are comfortable with, use it to share your tablet display to PC/laptop then connect the PC/laptop to the TV. I do this myself when the need arises, it works for me when needed.
So i ended up using scrcpy (https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy) which is just great. The only catch is that you need adb/usb debug which was not a problem in my case.
