I cannot get my Windows7 PC to show up in MyNet or UPnP. I've read the threads here and my PC's network, streaming, and sharing settings are configured exactly how the various guides have suggested. (And other non-Windows devices appear and can stream also [e.g., WDLiveHub].)
The TF shows up as a Media Device in my home network, but that's it. I can access my computer via ES File Explorer and GMote, so it's not like there's no connectivity. I downloaded UPnP from the Market, but my computer shares still don't show up.
Interestingly, when I first tried out MyNet, my computer showed up briefly then disappeared...
I've tried everything and, for the life of me, cannot figure out why neither MyNet or UPnP are working. Any help?

Did you try to install TVersity on your PC?
You need to install a UPNP server like XBMC, TVersity etc.
TVersity is supposed to transcode your videos on the fly.
But I never could get MyNet to play anything.
Try the app UPnPlay. I managed to play stuff but it wasn't smooth.
Couldn't get UPNPlay to use MoboPlayer which is supposedly good.
Edit: TVersity only transcodes as the PRO edition. Which sucks.
Anyone know of a free good transcoding server?

Try TV Mobili.
TV Mobili does not transcode...
If you load up Windows Explorer does it show under networks (Media Devices)? If not load up Windows Media Player, click the stream tab and tick 'Automatically allow devices to play my media'
Sometimes it doesn't work for me and I have to reboot my router and then it shows up.
maybe firewall issue?

I use a combination of UPNPlay and VPlayer Trial. Works so good I'll drop the $5 to buy the unlocked VPlayer.
I'm not using any transcoding software on my PC, and if I'm out and a friend has some files I can access I can..
It does kind of choke when 720p quality video. I think it's just that it's transferring slow (wifi).

It's not free, but Plex does a good job. The windows server application is free, but it costs 5 bucks or so for the android app. It also works remotely if you forward ports.
I use plex for when I am not at home and want access to my video library. Otherwise my Windows Home Server works with DLNA/UPNP apps. I don't have my TF yet, but mynet did work on the honeycomb rom for my nook color. Home Server doesn't transcode yet. We will have to wait for a working moonlight/silverlight implementation, so probably never.
MyNet now NoNet
MyNet worked in the previous firmware. Was able to steam multiple video files formats from my QNap file server.
Now with the 3.1 update it is broken and can not see $h!7. It can not see the WDTV Live Hub, either of the 2 QNaps or any of my 3 Systems (2 PC, 1 Mac).
):
kinda upset personally
I wrote Asus with this problem and they told me that these problems to connect with the PC through MyNet were probably related to the new Android version. They told me that they were working on it, but I wouldn't expect much from them... Tis is what happens when companies try to be funny and put junk over Android... We'll see...
BUZZ Player works great for me (streaming from Win7 UPNP)

Is there anyway to stream local media (video/music/images) from your home pc to the HD2 when both of them are connected on the same network?
My N82 and N97 did that flawlessly, (by media server), was wondering if I can do something similar via Tversity installed on my pc.
Thanks.
I'm not aware of a DLNA client for windows mobile, but TVersity comes with a web interface. Why not just use that?
Or, you can use pocket player with the uPNP plugin to stream audio, I am not sure how well video streaming works though as I never could get it to work satisfactoryly.
download tversity for your pc and get tcpmp player for your phone. I have to look into starting a post about this if there isn't one
I am also interested in this feature. I don't understand why Windows mobile doesn't have some sort of media sharing or media extender feature natively. I would like to be able to connect to my wireless network, turn on file sharing, and play a media file on my TV via my Xbox. I know that the HD2 does not have a video output method (such as the Nokia's, Incredible, Evo, etc), so I would hope to at least be able to make up for it wirelessly.
I was doing this exactly last year with my HD1, using the Network Plugin + CorePlayer/TCMCP so it is possible.
Just browse your network on your HD, find the file, and click Play.
For people who also have a Home Theartre set-up powered by a PC, check out GRemote as a great program to browse files on your HD2 and then launch them/control playback on your TV.
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?

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 :

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
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...

it wont work. the only thing you can transcode too is mpeg2 which the transformer cant do over upnp. mp4 cant be live streamed over upnp only over rtsp or rtmp, if you really want live transcoding look at vlc media player and vlc s+c for android. it takes a lot of tweaking but does work.
can you provide some more information about the transcode capabilities such as the lackof mpeg streaming

I have had no problems streaming mpeg2 even to the native player with Mediatomb. In fact, you can directly play mpeg2 files from an internet site (internet archive) if you have enough bandwidth. Even the matroska format will stream, although without sound and at an unpredictable framerate. Still, I think that problem is on the encoding side.
So what your saying is you can transcode with PS3 media server?
IE: if you were to take a video gotten from a generic source, lets say via bittorrent you can stream that with the PS3 media server?
Any video I try does not work. it only works if I transcode it with handbrake first.
any tips would be greatly appreciated.

If I was you I would go and get a WD media player. They go for about 60-90 bucks. I used the PS3 for about a year and I gave up. Mkv is not support on ps3 media server. Videos that it cant play you're pc will need to transcode before sending it over to your display. I ended up getting a dedicated media player. There are tons to choose from. WD, boxee, popcorn hour and dune players. No issues streaming 20-30GB blu ray movies when I had the WD player. PS3 sucks for streaming IMHO.

Though it should be worth noting UPnPlay doesn't send a "streaming end" HTTP header to the UPNP server, so after you play one video PS3 media server doesn't know you stopped watching the video and will be stuck in the "streaming mode", causing any other video not to load until you restart PS3 Media Server. This problem only persists iwth PMS, Serviio works fine if you set the transcoding profile. I wish PMS worked as it is the only Server with full softsub support.
Edit: Opps accidentally pressed "Quote" instead of edit...
Just wanted to make sure i am trying with the same player as you.
I am using the "my Net" and selecting the ps3 media server from there.
With the new settings, when I go to play it it just hangs with "please Wait" previously it would just immediately end with "fail to load"

Did you edit Android.conf with my profile and then restarted the server? Also, use Upnplay combined with MoboPlayer.
I did edit the file with your settings and restart the server. Will download Upbplay (already have mobo installed).
Update in a few minutes
That does seem to work. I am able to play non HD videos.
I was able to play different video's back to back without restarting, I tested with three different videos, watch 1 min of each.
I tested out a topgear episode that is 720p. My PC says its being trans-coded, but moboplayer just says "loading". After 1.5 minutes i cancelled out by going "home"
I then restarted the PS3 media server and reloaded upnplay and tried the video again. my PC still says transcoding and serving but mobo is stuck on loading.
Under Transcoding settings, i don't have Avisynth/FFmpeg or Avisynth/Mencoder available as they are marked red if that means anything
Any suggestions?
Thanks for being so helpful. I really appreciate it.
I know this post is asking about ps3 media server, and I have tried to use it also, but what I have found is a media server called PLEX, there is a mac/windows/even Linux server version, then you get the client on the app store for $5. I can not believe how well this app allows me to stream VOB/MKV/MPG,etc, and it allows me to do this all the way up to HIGH PROFILE 1080p MKV, oh and it also allows me to do this on a remote wifi connection or even on 3g, it really is amazing what these guys have pulled together. The other HUGE plus is it is a branch off of XBMC, so you have the same similar interface with all scraping, etc automatically, it can also do music and supports plugins. Anyways I would suggest you try it, server is free to download, and the app is so worth the measly $5, just suggest you get the server all setup and working before you buy the app. but even if you don;t like it the plex team will refund your money if you are not happy so there is really no remorse checking it out. Hope this helps, I am off to watch a 1080p high profile mkv on my transformer >
I think OP is trying to get PMS working so he can watch media on his PS3 too without running 2 servers. As to why HD vids don't play, maybe it didn't detect the need to transcode it, I need to look into this again after exam's over (maybe that'll explain why my videos didn't play properly when I tested), feel free to use the PS3.conf and try different things. It doesn't matter if you have ffdshow/avisynth, it uses bundled mencoder to re-encode. All that matters i that your PC can play the video fine in DirectShow players like Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, Zoom Player.
I tried the above .conf file settings and still when running an HD video
it won't limit the video size
is there a way to transcode down into say
800x480
I tried this
MaxVideoWidth=800
MaxVideoHeight=480
RobH79: Thanks for the information. So far I am most of the the way to my end goal. The last hold out being the 720p video's.
I believe the OP (like myself) do not want to run 2x renders, one for the PS3, one for the tablet.
Frosty:
The video does play fine on my PC using VLC but not with Windows media player ( I anticipate this is why all my below troubleshooting did nothing based upon your last response.)
I have done some more testing and tried a few different settings in the config, such as
MaxVideoWidth=800
MaxVideoHeight=600
and MaxVideoBitrateMbps=3
so far nothing has worked.
The video does play fine on my PC using VLC. I still see PS3 Media Server using the transcoding buffer, and Mencoder is using varying amounts of CPU and the java memory size is increasing as time goes on (I assume filling up the buffer)
**Update Since I started typing**
I went to: http://matroska.org/technical/guides/playback/windows/index.html and found out that i needed the CCCP pack, i usually dont install it on my system from a bad experience many years ago.
However I installed it and now it plays fine in windows media player.
I loaded up PS3 Media server and tried streaming again from my tablet...
And no luck, same issue as before. I went through all the other variations of the tweaks above and also no luck.
Any other suggestions?
I also tried to get myNet working, but i found this.
myNet uses AwoX as UserAgent name. So copy Android.conf and rename the file and change from:
UserAgentSearch=Android
to
UserAgentSearch=AwoX
But all upnp clients that you can download in the market use Android.conf. I know so far that only AVIs/WMV are working. However no MKVs.
ok... just my 2 cents
I have a tonido plug running ubuntun 9.04 and mediatomb as a server, no transcoding eneabled.
I installed UPnPlay from market as a upnp renderer (audio only, but support to stream video with external palyer)
I got DicePlayer (paid app) and am able to stream mkv, avi, mov, mp4 containers, even some movies that have srt or sub subtitles, however if I connect my tablet to a TV via HDMI I only get the video and not the subs... MyNet app gives a lot of trouble working with m3u playlists and can only render a file at a time, meaning if you want to play continous audio/viedo you need to go one by one manually.
So far I'm happy with this setup, planning on upgragind my local WLAN to "N" standard byt so far 54gb are good, not exellent
On the down side, I haven't got the time to tweak mediatomb to present in a convinient way video files, it throws everything regardless of the folder structure you have on the server hard disk
Edit, if you know how to hard encode and stream subtitles info is appreciated, also if you know to send subs via HDMI to tv I'll be grateful
Can anyone tell me the best way to view files,video(movies),pics,music over y wifi network. I've tried various apps like upnp along with mobo player and codec add on but it only plays certain files most of my media is not accesable.
I used to use a laptop and watch everything perfectly from my pc downstairs using the windows library share if only was as easy with my xoom. when i try to acces the library the xoom see's the library but only short video content of all my video camera clips nothing is organized as is on my pc. Please help as there doesnt seem to be any info anywhere, Thanks.
Assuming your server is a Windows PC then your best bet is to share the folders your content is kept in then use ES File Explorer to access the network shares. Just opening the files will stream them over wifi for you. I use Dice Player but I'm sure other players work just as well.
(There are also other file explorers out there, I'm just advocating ES because I know it works with streaming).
I can't thank you enough as es explorer is just what i was looking for as it shows my files from my windows pc as a laptop would.
The only problem i have now is that it wont open my movie files when i go to these files i get a message 'login failure this may be caused by : -the account has no permissions, any advice would be great thanks andy.
Fofgot to mention i can play all my music , pics, and smaller vieo clips which is a lot more than before it's just the files with my movies in that i cant access without the above error message.
Yes !!
for me i use this:
- PS3 Media server on my Computer (share all media from your computer to all devices by network wifi/lan)
and i can play simultany on my play3 & Xoom
-Skifta on my Xoom (DLNA client/server) it does both
-DICE Player (play mkv 720p) only who work fine (but it's paying)
but i've used before MOBOPLAYER who work fine too but no sound in mkv
MX Video PLayer it's ok too
I still get the error message when i try to play my movies some are avi and some mkv but i dont even get as far as seeing the video file , i dont get passed opening the movie file itself, surely someone out there knows please help. Also i looked on google and apparently if you turn off the anonymous function and use a user name and password from my pc it will work but where do you find the username and password as i didnt realise i had one on my pc.
As I told someone else, plex media server plus the android app works like a dream if you have all your movies/tv shows in one spot.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will probably be because of Windows file or share permissions. In ES File Explorer, you can edit the server properties and put in your Windows username and password. It may also require the domain field to be filled in, which if it's just a normal home PC and not connected to a domain, would be your PC's hostname.
P.S... use the thanks button
I use ES Explorer for streaming from my server while on my home network and Plex for streaming when I'm on a different network (i.e. 4G, someone elses WiFi).
Zumocast.
There is a version floating around on the xda forums that is compatible with the xoom.
Nobody here mentioned it and I don't know why.
It allows you to stream and download files from your computer over any network.
It's speed is dependant on your connection.
Best of all. It's free
Stop reading and download it.

im still trying to figure this. I run Nero media home on my server and my ps3 and n900 pick it up fine, anything on my xoom doesn't see it.
PS3 Media Server
I use PS3 Media Server and the free UPnPPlay app on my Xoom (as well as other Android devices), and RockPlayer Lite to watch the video, which works great.
PS3 MS is very configurable so I can use it to serve up videos to the TV, PS3, Xoom or other Androids at home, at varying levels of video quality, all from the one Windows box.
I use Skifta. Its free - just install on both PC and xoom. Simple config and uses your favorite player

zumacast works fine
I would second that suggestion about zumacast. It works fine on the xoom.
I use Es Explorer just add your pc like server, not able to play 1080 but 720 play really smooth

Why not just use File Manager HD it supports SMB
create a shortcut to your smb share
and install bs player or something
Thats how i do it
even though i have upnp servers in the house
Qloud is free and works over wifi and 3g/4g.....amazing program
