I have a Internet & Multimedia Box called Freebox Revolution. Inside, a 250Go Hard Drive can be accessed with the uPnP protocol, like A Wifi Nas
I would like to see a movie with my Iconia wich is stored in my Freebox.
Is it possible to do that with clear.fy ?
Is there a tuto about this operation ?
Thanks a lot !
As long as the movie is in a format the Iconia can play, the answer is yes.

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!
Has anyone here been able to get the DNLA function in their Desire HD to actually work?
I have tried sharing photos, videos, and music via the "Connected Media" app that comes preinstalled on the device, but its not working. I have my DHD and a PS3 connected to my wifi router, and I can stream from my laptop to my PS3 no problem. I had hoped I would be able to look at my photos and videos on my TV via the PS3's DNLA capabilities.
Connected Media was not working, so I then tried installing and running an alternative media sharing app, TwonkyServer Mobile - but again, no joy.
I can see the DNLA Android service running when I go into Settings->Applications->Running Services, so now I am wondering, is there something wrong with that service?
HTC's own website advertising the Desire HD states :
"Some moments you never want to forget. So capture them with HTC Desire HD’s high definition video camera. Then relive and share every detail in HD on your TV, long after the memories have faded."
So far, I have not been able to do anything of the sort
From what I can tell, in terms of recieving streams from other devices, it *does* work, but is VERY limited in terms of what content it can play back.
However, in terms of playing back content from the phone - it requires a very specific device (i.e. HTC's Hub) in order to be able to play back content. Poor move by HTC.
I thought the HTC Hub was for TV's that don't support DLNA?
i can get mine working with xbmc in linux, some pictures seemed to crash it though.
Mine works very well.
It streams from connected media to my DLNA enabled Samsung TV or DLNA enabled Sony Blu Ray. It has also worked well streaming to Windows 7 pcs. Very quick and very clear.
I've not had much luck playing divX files from my DLNA nas on my phone though, music plays fine.

I thought the whole idea was that it meant videos/photos taken using the Desire HD could then be displayed on TVs via DNLA. PS3s are DNLA compliant which meant a lot of people out there should already be able to use that as their DNLA client. I was looking forward to seeing my new 720p videos on my TV via the PS3.
NB Streaming from other devices to the Desire HD I am not that concerned with.
If anyone has been able to successfully stream from their Desire HD to their TV via a PS3, please let it be known

How do you setup the phone and win7 pc to stream music/fotos/videos from the pfone to the pc?
I want this because I have a mediacenter HTPC connected to my tv in the livingroom
Thx
It should work, because DLNA is a standard protocol. It would be stupid of HTC to come up with a proprietary protocol and label it as "DLNA".
To the OP: are you sure you are connected to your internal network? If you install ES File Explorer, or Android SFTP, can you connect to a PC from your DHD?
edit: both HTC Desire Z & HD are DLNA Certified Products, so they should work with any other DLNA device => http://certification.dlna.org/certs/REG46355642.pdf
In this certification document, apparently only IMAGES are certified as media that can be streamed, so only pictures, no music or movies.
edit2: comparing DLNA certificate of the Galaxy S, which has more certified media types: http://certification.dlna.org/certs/REG70753643.pdf

I definitely have the DHD connected to the internal network (by which I assume you mean my wifi router?). I checked on my router's admin webpages and the phone is being allocated an IP address etc ok so I dont think there is anything wrong on a TCP/IP level.
I will install Android SFTP later and try connecting to my laptop, but I'd still love to hear if anyone has had any DHD->PS3 success.
Yeah if anyone can get it to work with the PS3 that would be great.
Also you could try install Twonky Mobile and see if that works.
Ok, I tried using Connected Media on my DHD in conjunction with Windows Media Player on Windows 7...and it worked perfectly!
Perhaps PS3's are not actually fully DNLA compliant, or there is some obscure setting hidden somewhere in the PS3 that I havent switched on (I doubt the latter however) ?
In any case, I think this proves that Connected Media does in fact work. Thanks to whoever suggested trying it against something other than a PS3.
As always, if anyone actually does get it to work with a PS3 - please shout!

It all runs through Windows Media Player.
Open it up, choose 'stream' from the menu and choose 'allow remote control of my player' and then it should work.
If it doesn't then you have to fiddle with the streaming settings in 'more streaming options'
is it possible to access shares in the network and make a share so other pc's can access this on the DHD?
I'm able to stream content to my ps3 over dlna. Not through the default application but twonky mobile. It works perfectly watching a 720p movie without any stutters.

Check the file you are trying to stream. It has to be .mp4 with h264/aac encoding of the video/audio streams. The bitrate should also be reasonable (2000k works for sure)
You actually have different types of dlna devices : It depends of the capabilities of the sending device and the receiving device...

Is it possible to do network file sharing with Windows 7?
I already have a HTPC/Media Server that is on 24/7. Right now, it's super easy to watch streaming movies off it from our laptops/HP netbook.
Will it be possible to use RockPlayer to read files off a network drive and play them?
There is an smbshare program and airtwist will do DNLA.

Hmm, not familiar with either of those. Did a quick search, found these:
https://market.android.com/search?q=SMB+File+Sharing&c=apps
AFAIK, these let you download files to your SD card, but is it possible to them directly from the network drive?
Also, it sounds like AirTwist DLNA lets you stream from your handset to a TV:
http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2011/02...r-media-streaming-to-its-android-airsync-app/
But can it stream from your computer to your Xoom/handset?
For now Xoom itself does not support DLNA (afaik), also... even if you could stream from your NAS drive you will not be able to watch 99% of downloaded stuff as Xoom only plays very specific format :-(.
Plenty on that subject already.
Sorry for bringing bad news :-(
I have been looking in to this, as my Xoom comes in tomorrow, and Im just wondering if someone has been successful in streaming video to their Xoom.
I have a Tversity server running on my PC - any apps that can browse and stream from the TVERSITY library?
I have seen an app like gmote 2.0, and UpNp app - do these work to stream movies and TV shows from my computer server to the XOOM?
Sorry if this is already discussed elsewhere, I did a few searches but nothing is specific for the xoom that I saw.
I dont care about 3g streaming - just want wifi streaming.
Basically - recommendations for MEDIA SERVER ON PC (like tversity) to stream movies onto android.
I'm assuming your pc is on your home network (duh) and you are willing to share the folders. Use cifsmanager and mount the shared folder to the xoom, then with any media player on the xoom it will see the folder, open it and can play the files. No need to set up a server, just have the pc on. It will even work off a nas. Thats how i'm running it, you can find a thread started by me on this subject with how I got it working.

Thanks for the reply
Was wondering if the CIFSmanager works without rooting? I dont think im gonna root right away, and I wanted a solution in the meantime
UPnPlay works great for what you are looking to do.
Interesting Problem!
I started the Plex Server on my Shield TV, configured everything as described.
All my media files are stored on my WD My Cloud NAS (I use Kodi).
All content is sorted and named based on Kodi requirements / best practice - and Kodi works fine.
But Plex does only find and display photos - no movies, no tv shows, no music.
It finds the folders and I can see them - but with no content.
Did setup the Plex server a couple of times now - no difference.
Do I need anything special or do I need to "activate" Plex anyhow to find .mkv, .mp4 or .mp3 files?
I´m lost.
best regards
Dietmar

The movies are there,the problem with plex is. It picks up all the artwork and shows it along with the movies. I Had to create a folder with just the movies and let plex download artwork. Make a Folder call it movies and just put your mp4 or mkv's in there and then let plex scan to get artwork.
Here's my issue..... I have the Shield but can't get it to find the WD MyCloud on the network...... IF I run KODI, it finds it fine and works.... But to add it as network storage in the Shield settings, its a no go.... I have tried ip setting and everything... anyone?
Thanks for all your help. Rearranged folders and shows and movies...and whatever else.
And now it works smoothly.
After days of testing with my cable modem and router, I also have internet access now to my collection!
Like it.
