Hey,
Never really thought of this until now.
Basically, I have a router with 3 PC's and a TV connected to it. I can open Windows Media Player on the computers, enable streaming, and the TV can watch videos, play music and view pictures from the PC's.
Now I was wondering if the HD2 is capable of allowing the TV (or PC's) to connect to it so they can view/play the pictures/videos/music off it...
Its a long shot, and I dont have a clue how the app "Streaming Media" works. But as the HD2 has Windows Media...
Thanks
There is a post that answers this recently added. You need a program which handles DNLA which was pulled off of a Samsung and it works very well.
I'm tryin to set up my macbook as a media receiver so i can stream videos from my phone to the screen on my laptop but i've been unsuccessful. laptops are set up for media serving out of the box now a days. i dont have a dnla tv or anything. nor is my xbox wifi. i've used it on a friends ps3 but was unable to use the beam option as my phone didnt read his ps3. his ps3 read my phone and he just d/l the movie onto his ps3.
i'm just wondering if any1 is or has an idea to stream video to a laptop from a phone.
Well, AFAIK, it's all in the software. On a PC at least, you need to have some sort of media player running and in the foreground. For instance, Windows Media Player and XBMC are DLNA-aware apps. I'm not familiar with what media players have such clients built in on the OSX platform.
RAWR! Please post question in Q&A section. Thank you
Out of curiosity, I just tried this. It works fine. Music, Pictures, and videos work perfect. I'm using windows 7 ultimate. Media share found my laptop right away.
I would like use my GT7510 to manage streaming content to my WDTV Live Plus. I can do some of what I would like to do now, by using Apps such as ZappoTV which allows me to send music, movies and photos stored on my PC to my AV Receiver. In order to make this happen, I have to use a media server such as TVersity. There are some limitations but basically this marriage works OK. I am hoping for something better.
I would really like to stream content from apps such as Pandora, AudioGalaxy, Google Music or even iTunes to my AV receiver without having to turn on my TV in order to access the WDTV UI. I have a projection TV that takes a few minutes to warm up so I would like to avoid this step if possible.
In a perfect world, I should be able to fire up my AV receiver, select the input assigned to WDTV box and send a stream that I can view or listen to in my GTab to my TV or stereo. Is this possible?

.. What are you hoping to do exactly? Your post is so unclear!
View content from your PC on your tablet?
View content from your WDTV on your tablet?
View content from your tablet on your WDTV?
Control your WDTV over your tablet?
"In a perfect world, I should be able to fire up my AV receiver [are you talking of another device, like a Satellite Receiver or Cable descrambler?], select the input assigned to WDTV box and send a stream [from the WDTV?] that I can view or listen to in my GTab [I understand the request, but shouldnt you be asking on a WDTV forum for an Android app? What does it have to do with the Tab? ] [wait, there's more; ] to my TV or stereo. Is this possible?"
From my understading this has nothing to do with the GTab; you are asking for WDTV device remote control support under Android OS (and much more, for that matter).
Go ask WD. And your AV receiver, TV, and stereo manufacturer as well...

There are Android remotes that will control the WDTV. There are more functional apps such as ZappoTV that allow you to use an Android or IOS device to send music or video to the WDTV. The problem is that none of these apps have their own way of viewing the WDTV UI so the TV screen has to do the job. I just want more.
What I really want to be able to do is to somehow send whatever I can view or listen to on my Tab, to my WDTV and eventually to my stereo or TV. This includes the output from apps such as Pandora or Audiogalaxy. If I can get whatever Pandora is playing on my Tab to the WDTV, I can listen to or view it on my AV system. Basically, I am trying to eliminate the WDTV UI as a middleman and just send stuff from the Tab.
I am not a dev and have no idea how to write code but the logical side of my brain says that this should be possible. Hopefully there are some smart folks out there who can figure out how to get it done

Ok then no, its not possible.
What you are asking for is a wireless HDMI-like output.
..How do you think all these devices would get the feed, anyway? Can your TV/stereo stream stuff over wifi directly (UPnP/DLNA)? If it does, then yes, using a UPnP/DLNA server app, you can share content from the Tab to that device.
But you'll never be able to share/see an app output (well.. anything any Tab displays) without HDMI.
I think what you need is a simpler solution. Buy a good bluetooth audio receiver and connects it to your Stereo/pre-amp linein. Then connect your tablet/mobilephone to the BT receiver. Open up your favorite apps, e.g. Tunein, 2Player (can play music stored on your NAS or network drives).
I myself use Logitech BT audio receiver. it sounds great.

Interesting. I've used Allshare and other DLNA apps to pull content from the network onto my Tab. I've never tried pulling anything OFF my tab to play on a TV or other Computer.
I'm pretty sure the WDTV can use DLNA to pull media from the network. I'm going to have to see if I can pull media from my Tab with it.
Your correct though that its a pull action and you can't PUSH media out to a device for viewing. At least as far as I know.

If you are talking about DLNA, a DMR (Digital Media Renderer) does exactly that. It receives "pushed" media from a DMC and plays it. The DMC itself gets the media from a DMS.
The tablet would be the DMC in that scenario. But I have no idea if the WDTV can act as a DMR or if it is just a DMP.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance
Home Network Devices:
Digital Media Server (DMS): These devices store content and make it available to networked digital media players (DMP) and digital media renderers (DMR). Examples include PCs and network-attached storage (NAS) devices.
Digital Media Player (DMP): These devices find content on digital media servers (DMS) and provide playback and rendering capabilities. Examples include TVs, stereos and home theaters, wireless monitors and game consoles.
Digital Media Renderer (DMR): These devices play content received from a digital media controller (DMC), which will find content from a digital media server (DMS). Examples include TVs, audio/video receivers, video displays and remote speakers for music.
Note: it is possible for a single device (e.g. TV, A/V receiver, etc) to function both as a DMR (receives "pushed" content from DMS) and DMP ("pulls" content from DMS)
Digital Media Controller (DMC): These devices find content on digital media servers (DMS) and play it on digital media renderers (DMR). Examples include Internet tablets, Wi-Fi enabled digital cameras and personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Wow thats a great bit of interesting information. Thanks for digging that up.! :good:
Hello ! :highfive:
I'm looking for a solution to use my "unlocked (thank you )" Surface like a remote of my HTPC which is running W8 + Media center ?
Both devices are connected to the same private network.
any solution ? I could be very happy to replace my harmony remote
@+
Quite a few metro remote apps in the Windows store. Reviews are less than stellar.
I use Ceton companion on my Window Phone which works very well and they have an RT version in the works.
What about just using Remote Desktop or TeamViewer?
why not..
but I think the remote desktop app don't allow you to Stream video !
but you can stram farcry 3 .. ? funny !
but it's not what I want !
Only two remote app on the store but nothing free ( for the moment)
Um... the Surface (and all Win8/Windows RT devices) have the Remote Desktop program (mstsc.exe) built in...
ok but no streaming of the media-center video (tv) with mstsc.exe
vlc is ok bug with lot of lag
I think I need two different apps:
one to control MCE like a remote.(only)
- two apps available on the store (nothing free)
A second to Stream MCE (tv, videos) on my surface.
my dream-> an app to Stream MCE tv on my surface (first screen) and for my part I play farcry 3 on my tv (second screen)
But I think it's only a dream !
Ceton just added their app to the store. I recommend it over any others I have tried. No trial but it's only $4.99
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/f44a44e4-6cce-4f81-928f-897cb5263dce
it look so great :laugh:
it's possible to Stream the video of media center too with this app ?
tv for example !?

GDTD, this is what I was trying (badly!) to get across on the other thread. Yes that works, and there are dozens of remote control programs, but ive yet to find one that is an exact "clone" of the screen content and maintains the fluidity, its possible to do one with out the other but ive yet to get both!
a 1280*1024 res pumps out about 900Mbps of RAW data, so you'd need on the fly compression / decompression to get that down to a more manageable 5Mbps using h.264 which will introduce an element of latency.
what im looking for probably doesn't exist, I foresee some wireless HDMI/USB combo before we get to that, the BT could replace wireless USB until that's released.
but the concept of having a tablet device, cloned to a main computer in quality and fluidity is pretty dam handy!
mstsc.exe is very laggy.
the app "Bureau à Distance" is really better ans free (fr).
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/f...op/051f560e-5e9b-4dad-8b2e-fa5e0b05a480/m/ROW
but impossible to Stream video correctly.
"""""
for the remoting I have just purchased the app of CETONCORP "My Media Center"
seem to be a good app.
For the moment I met a problem for launch my movies:
mce say me "unable to find this loction file".
so :
for remoting -> ok
for Stream the tv flow on my surface -> still waiting for a solution !
thank you for your help
hi sifu, just wondering is there any app that can scan through the network and found laptop with build in camera, than can see through it through android phone.
No. But you can use GPP Remote Viewer. But server need instal on pc.
This might help. iCam - Webcam Video Streaming. It's on the play syore.
