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 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:

There's a video on YouTube (link below) for mirroring a phone onto a TV using the device which may help if you haven't already seen it?

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.

Use the mirroring, Multi-Screen option from the drop down menu to connect wirelessly to your Wi-Fi TV.
I had success on connection to my Samsung with Miracast. I took 2 - 4 attempts then it connected fine.
It transmitted video and sound via 5 MHz WLAN to TV. But the quality of speed seems to be not good enough. I had drops in video but on sound.
I tried the same with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which worked well on Windows 8.1. Now on Windows 10 I get no connection at all.
So I have no alternative.
Did anyone ever succeed in connecting to TV via micro USB to HDMI cable? I'm going to be traveling soon and would like to connect it to my hotel TV so I wanted to know if I should go and buy the cable or not,
Thx
Hey All,
I do alot of presentations and show video clips using my phone and a projector. What I do is Cast my Screen. Every once in a while the chromecast disconnects.
So i was wondering if there is an app or a custom script that can check every 5 minutes to see if the phone is connected to a chromecast and casting the whole screen. If it is not connected then it will connect and cast the screen automatically.
So is something like this possible?
I am using miracast for quiet some time with my LG tv. Works mostly perfectly, but my issue is the tv of my neighbours. My miracast automatically tries to connect to a tv, if there is only one showing up. because my tv is slower hardware-wise, it does not always appear as fast as the neighbour's, which is why miracast sometimes tries to connect to my neighbour's tv automatically. I don't want this to happen.
My idea is, if it was possible to do either one of those:
1.block my neighbour's tv from showing
or
2.only allow connection to mine
My S7 is rooted and using superman rom

I'm having the same problem now. I can cast to my neighbor's LG TV and another neighbor's Roku, as well as my own Samsung TV. I have an up-to-date Windows 10 desktop computer.
