Ok, we know that the 2.3.3 ROM for the X10 was missing DLNA support. I mentioned in a previous thread that I was attempting to use the one from one of the other Xperias;
Well, I've finally had a chance to test the DLNA app from the Xperia Play on the X10 and can confirm that it does indeed work.
So far I've used it to stream a video recorded with the X10 camcorder to my Windows 7 PC. It didn't pick up an AVI I had however (divx format), however this is probably to do with the X10's codec support.
I'm going to have a look into the video apps on the Sony Play/Arc as there doesn't seem to be one preinstalled on the GB x10 rom - hopefully that might sort out the codec issue.
For now, here's the apk from the xperia play - enjoy!
I have a question...how does it work?
i was playing around with this last night, i was able to get my windows 7 pc to see pics on the phone in wmp, however, it would not see video or audio files on the x10.
also, does it work both ways? could i stream media from my pc to my phone? i removed dlna because i couldn't figure this out, and i want to stream from my pc more than i want to stream from my phone
can you explain me how do I use it?

wow.... its working.... I am accessing my x10 via Laptop....

I don't mean to sound whiny or aggressive, as this is not my style,
but since Bravia Engine works (for photos at least) and now DLNA too,
it occurs to me that SE willingly did not include those features in the X10.
On the one hand, I get it. They have to sell their newer models,
this is not uncommon in the mobile industry and it's how things work.
On the other hand, didn't they expect that we will eventually find out that they
work, since it's that simple as pushing some files onto our phones?
I found out why I cant get the xbox to see the x10 - the client has to initiate the connection to the x10, then you have to select it in notifications and select "allow". Xbox can't do that as it can only poll devices that are already presenting themselves. I'm sure I'll figure out a way around it (add a client, then manually editing its record to match the xbox's mac should do it) but it's not a priority.
The non-x10 recorded a/v i'm looking at - wondering if it's something simple like placement on sd card (video camera saves files in another location to where my avi files are kept - i.e. not sdcard/media/video).
I agree that it's stupid and annoying that they've left stuff out that could have been added in 5 minutes- I'm convinced we can get the bravia engine working by amending that existing library file - the one on the x10 is likely just missing the entry for be_video, but we can't use the arc one because it uses different calls to the video architecture (it has a different screen to the x10 doesn't it?).
Possibly a good old fashioned 'diff' on the arc .so file and that of the one currently on the x10 might show up some insight as to what needs to be added? I'll look later - phones on charge and I've got to prepare for a job interview in an hour!!
thanks, it's work perfect .
Does anyone can gimme some hints that i can stream the videos made by X10 in 720P?
I have a Samsung TV and a PS3 and both say that the format is incompatible although both are able to play MP4 format in which the vids are recorded.
It is curious because with some roms it is working. But there the videos are recorded with the Stock Android Camera where you can choose between different formats.
Does anyone uses a mediaplayer where the videos made by Stock SE Camera can be streamed without converting them?
Thanks
you can also try an app called Skifta, i use that to stream content from my laptop to my phone or my tv aswell as from my phone to tv
its on the market and its free

Well, "we" are a pretty small group of people. I've met others with the X10. None had updated or much less knew about things like rooting, flashing, recovery, etc... Even among my techie friends who own droid phones, none have done the things I've done to my phone. I don't think SE is particularly concerned about what we try. If anything, it seems like they've lifted some of the things xda devs have done into the GB update.

True.. but i do believe they stated that it is possible with 3rd party apps.

because XDA community is still small compare to rest of the world, not everyone root and flash their phones once per 2~3 days like some of us here
Tnx

Sony's mindset is that you want your phone's stuff on the tv (preferably a Sony tv) and that you want to watch with a bunch of people without the hassle of cables- So this is a media server rather than a client.
That said, there is an excellent simple app called 2Player that works well with it's own DLNA client for music. I have a NAS with 14K songs that will serve to the phone. There are some other apps that will do both music and photos in the market such as iMedia which also work with the devices such as a NAS as well as Windows Media. FWIW, Windows Media has limits on what type of material will be shown, that is, not all file types will be shared.
All that said, only my Panasonic BluRay player is DLNA enabled, so to watch phone's stuff on the big tv..... and yes, it does work with my DLNA bluray from Panasonic, shows right up with the rest of the stuff. Have streamed photos, getting not valid media on the video, since it's not in the right format.
Thanx .. gonna donwload it
Nice job man!thx

I've noticed on any Android phone I used, the ability to stream media over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to any supporting device.
Now, it would be awesome to have a TV device to which I can stream photos, videos and YouTube from my phone through Wi-Fi. Live screenshare would be nice too. Any idea what products are out there? Google searches do not seem to give me what I'm looking for.

I have a Samsung phone and TV and I stream photos, movies etc from my phone to the TV via wifi. I use Allshare to do this.
hmm interesting however my Sony Bravia doesn't offer such a feature.
I continued searching and found this, http://www.lg.com/us/tv-accessories/lg-ST600-smart-tv-upgrader
Anyone has experience on it? Or anyone is using anything similar? I'm still scouting for a good yet not so expensive product. If I'm not mistaken I can use this box with my Android.

I have been using the Shareon video.
You can stream all your media from smartphone to DLNA supported TV directly.
Actually, I think it's better than Samsung Allshare Service, bcoz shareon video supports most of manufacturer.:good:

Sony Made a new Update for Xperia T. this includes a mirroring app that works via Mirracast. the apk can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952716 in the attachements under NewSmallFiles as mirror (at least i suppose that.)
the Problem is that I can't install that apk on my note! any idea how to get that working?
You don't need it , all share cast is based on miracast standards so we already have miracast

so i assume my connectivity Problem ließ with the yellow triangle...
Hello Gentleman, a friend and I were looking for the ability to screen mirror on the Note 5 but cannot find it, is there somewhere I'm not looking or is it disabled?
I have found a way to mirror Pictures and Videos from the gallery, but not a way to share my screen like I could on my older galaxy note devices. Thanks for your help
I take it you have a samsung tv with mirroring capabilities. If so, go under settings, and other connections.. If not get cromecast.
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Free mobile app
They screwed it up on one of the updates. To cast your screen currently go to a picture in gallery, hit share and select the screen mirroring option at the bottom. If your on a 5ghz wifi it will pass even mobile video to your TV. In my case a roku3. I just make the video go full screen on the phone. My Chromecast works like normal.

Hello everybody,
I have bought new MATE 9 and i have discovered problem to connect it to my TV Philips 55PUS7181 via mirrorshare.
Both devices are connected to the same wi-fi, also googlecast function with youtube is working, but I cant connect it together via mirrorshare, that I can see mobile desktop on the TV.
It started to look for aviable devices, but my TV is not visible there. I have also tried to install some aplication from Google store for desktop sharing and there it is working, but connection is not stabil, for example video playing ist clicking.
I tried to ask Philips and Huawei customer service, but without answer.
Im really angry because I bought a phone for 700 Eur and i cant use it for sharing !
Has somebody the similar problem or can somebody help me ?
thanks a lot.

What exactly are you trying to Mirror? Videos to play from your phone or watch movies? Or are you trying to just show your screen to show pictures, etc? If it's videos, download Bubble UPnP. It works very well for casting. Click on the left pull down arrow where it shows Local Renderer and select your Phillips TV as default. Then try playing a video to cast.
I have same problem with Sony TV. 4k video have problem. Pictures show only black screen. Mirror screen when working not show in horizontal orientation. On my another phone Nubia Z11 works everything. Mate 9 very bad experience.

Yes it is Android smart TV Philips 55PUS7181.
Have the same problem with Sony Android Tv, using MirrorShare option from taskbar
Even if your Android TV says there are no updates available try opening the PlayStore and searching for 'Google Cast Receiver'. I did and sure enough there was an updated version.
This might be totally unrelated to your problem but it did fix some issues I was having casting from my Mate 9 to a brand new Sony Android TV.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA Labs
Mate 9 definitely works with Chromecast protocol so if TV works with Android TV it should work
I have the same issue with a Philips 55PUS6561/12 TV and with a Huawei P9 phone. Youtube's Cast for example works perfectly fine, but the phone's Mirrorshare function cannot find my TV. Has anyone found a solution to this?
