UPnP Client for Magician

Hi!
I am running a nice Asus Wl-Hdd
[url]http://wl500g.info/forumdisplay.php?f=78 [/url]
with twonkyvision mediaserver.
Is there a Upnp client program (like nero showtime mobile) for the Magician?
Thanks in advance!
Reflex
PS: the wl-hdd is really cool - i use it with pc, xbox and magician...
A UPnP client? How do you mean?
UPnP is the method used to allow a program to specify ports to open and forward when sitting behind a hardware firewall... not sure what application this would have on a Magician.
as far as i understand, UpPnP is used to distribute content. This content is in my case for 99% audio (mp3) which resides on the WlHdd harddisk. Twonkyvision is the server part and if you take a look at
www.twonkyvision.de
you can see the supported clients - there is also a thing called "iPAQ Mobile Media Companions". And such a thing i am searching...
UPnP isn't used to distribute content.
@elyl: Stop posting use- and senseless messages
Look at my original definition of UPnP. It ain't a file sharing program, which is what I think you think it is.
The "UPnP client devices" which that page talks about is your hardware firewall and router, not a software client, which you seem to think it is. Don't be an ass when someone is trying to help you.

TV or VGA out?

hi
is it possible to use an adapter to transfer the displayed content on a beamer, a tv or something else? I know that there exists usb-2-vga-adapters, but the question is: do they work and can you send f.e. movies or powerpoint-pres. to an external device?
thanks in advance
n
Search !!!
I searched for "vga", "tv", "vga-out" and so on - without success.
Of course, when you look for this topic in the entire board, there are a bunch of threads... but my question just is: Will this work on the Blackstone?
I found out, that the tv-out on the diamond pro only work with several apps, so i guess, it's not obvious that the available adapters will work on the blackstone.
anyway, thanks
There is no signal on the HD USB, so your only choice atm is to install the only currently available UPnP client for WinMobile, Conduit Pocket Player with UPnP plugin, on the HD, connect it over WiFi to Windows Media Player library on the desktop or a external NAS harddrive with a media server (I use Twonkymedia both on Vista and on the NAS instead because it is much faster with large libraries), and use a media extender like the Pinnacle ShowCenter 250 I use to get all your content from the HD (audio, video, photos) to your TV, stereo or home cinema.
ah, ok... thanks for the Info! I see that there is no way to watch media content directly over the USB-connector... I have to use a second system, a PC or Laptop.
Thanks a lot!

PS3 Remote Play or Location Free Player?

Does anyone know if there is an application for the PS3 remote play option as well as the Sonly Location Free player?
The PS3 Remote Play application allows you to view your content on the Playstation 3 anywhere in the world that has WIFI with an internet connection.
The Sony Location Free Player is a stand alone device that allows you to see you cable/satellite content anywhere in the world that has WIFI with an Internet connection. You basically connect the output from your cable/satellite provider to this device and use a program on your laptop or desktop to view the programming. Sony PSP's have a program built into their system which allows this to work. The original packaging for the location free player came with a disk that had 1 licensed copy for a desktop or laptop computer.
Was wondering if any of these applications might be available for the Xperia X2.
Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619137&page=3

AllShare....

How do I use this thing? I Googled it but couldn't find much info. How do I add a server? Is it all done over WiFi?
How to use All Share
All Share allows you to stream pictures, video and music to and from your device over your local wifi network. It should work with DLNA certified devices. It works using uPnP. Basically, you can use it some TVs, home media servers and gaming consoles such as PS3. That said, I don't own anything like that. There is free software the will allow you to access and play files to and from your computer with ease.
I suggest XBMC.
Once XBMC is installed go to:
Configure Sysytem -> Settings -> Network
Check the following boxes:
1) Share video and music libraries through UPnP
2) Allow control of XBMC via UPnP
Now fire up All Share on your device select play file from your phone to device. In addition to your local computer you should see XBMC, select it and enjoy the stream. I've been very impressed with the video quality. I'm sure there are other application that will allow you to stream to your PC but so far this was the simplest solution I've found.
Oh and prepare to be disappointed, Avatar was not an option, aside from the trailer. If your looking to convert your own movies for mobile use I'd suggest you start with Handbrake. It's very easy to use.

This is badass. Worked like a charm... Thanks! And can this be done over the internet? Like how would I stream it to an IP/Port?
Has anyone tried WDTV Live? All share does not see WDTV Live as media rendered?
I want to push video from phone to WDTV or vise versa?

It's intended to work over wifi only, however, this might be possible through ORB. It does recognize the device in All Share but frankly haven't tooled around with it much. I'll let you know what I find out.

I have been able to stream to my wdtv live with no issues. I don't have custom firmware, just the latest stock firmware.
However, my phone will not see wdtv as a server or nas? Which sucks cause that's where all the media is.
Playon, tversity, ps3media server and Xbmc all streamed media from a hard drive or my pc perfectly.
Playon was not able to stream, online media I.e. Hulu, adult swim.
I've been able to stream videos to my phone using AllShare from two of my Windows 7 machines, no additional software needed. I have a Homegroup setup and just have the the folders containing the videos shared with the Homegroup.

Windows 7 supports DLNA, which is what AllShare uses for media streaming. I'm able to share videos, music, and pictures over Wifi on my home network. I like to stream videos from my PCs to my phone for viewing either on my phone, or on my TV through the video out capability of the Vibrant's 3.5mm headphone jack.
Take a look at this link to enable your media sharing on Windows 7:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/e7/archive/2009/05/12/media-streaming-with-windows-7.aspx
I did have to reboot my PC after changing my Windows settings to see the shared folders show up in AllShare. I'm not sure if this step is required, just my experience.
If you have any other specific questions, please let me know.
Edit:
If you don't have Windows 7, you can install the Samsung server software (PC Share Manager) on Windows XP or Vista, available here :

(Click the Software link under then Downloads tab)

Thanks for the tips, certainly a better solution than a third party players.

I have windows 7, I created a homegroup and shared my libraries ...I cannot see the files or folders with allshare. It tell me no media. I restarted my computer and phone. I don't know what the problem is but I've been messing with it for a while now and thought I'd try and get some help
sorry had to remove the links on the quote above because i'm still new. I guess.

If you remember, what file format were you able to steam through playon to your phone? I couldn't get any files or online streams to work. Also did you use the "My Media" or the "Local Files" plug-in?
Thanks!

Figured out I was being blocked by my firewall. I got it working now

how to use allshare between vibrant and ps3?
hi guys... i've been reading all the threads on allshare but could not find an answer for the ps3 sharing. my ps3 recognized the vibrant right away but there was no content in video,audio or pictures. (yes i did choose files on the phone and added to playlist)..
any suggestions please? thanks...
** sorry for posting too soon... problem solved...
Holy shiznit....This is bad ass...I can now stream all of my TV shows from my PC to my phone while I am laying in bed. Now I can watch episodes of Burn Notice while my wife hogs up the TV.
I just tried it and it works like a charm.
Those of you who aren't sure how to do it I will explain:
-Using Windows 7, download the latest Windows Media Player
-Add your videos to a playlist
-Open up Allshare and select the second option
-Find your playlist and start watching
Can your iPhone do this?
So i can use XBMC and be able to control video on my PC from my phone, but when i try to play media on my PC to my phone the video and music library says no content. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...maybe I need my media in a specific folder? I tried my shared libraries in Win7, but nothing in those folders show up.

I had the same issue with Win7. Do you have the latest version of windows media player? If not upgrade, then make certain to select "allow remote control of my player" and "Automatically allow devices to play media" from the Stream tab in windows media player. This should to access the files instead of just seeing empty folders.
It works with an Xbox 360 using media center too.
Pretty useful for showing video clips on my phone via a bigger screen.

Still not working...I have the latest and enabled the two options listed, but when I select from my phone "play file from server on my phone" now my PC doesn't show up as an option.
The only time I see my PC as an option on my phone is if i'm running XBMC, but even then I don't see any videos to select.
Found this video that helped explain how to setup the video library in XBMC which was easy to do, but now when add any of my movies to the playlist it says it cannot play the video even though most of them are AVI...unless it can't play AVI on the phone player...if that's the case, that good sir is LAME.
Almost forgot the link to the helpful video
youtube dot com slash watch?v=bCx0XtWB37w
(can't post links yet with all my noobness)
edit: Found a WMV file on my PC...put that file in the library and added it to the playlist...it keeps looking like it's loading or something, but nevers ends up playing it was never meant to be I guess

[Q] Stream local content to big screen

Just read an article on Endgadget about it. Might be the only way to steam local content to TV screen at the moment. Have anyone tried this yet?

Try playing around with a program called Plex.
You basicly setup ur computer as a streaming server and devices can stream from it. I have a Roku and it can link to the local server and stream media. You can stream media from pretty much any android device.
Sorry this was meant for the chromecast Forum how I got here I'll never know!
