As most of us dont have a Tv-out plug on our phones, Would it be possible to have the android phone to transmit video/audio over wifi to a wifi video receiver box connected to your Tv?
Ive allways wanted to be able to hook up my HTC Desire to the Tv and play some Snes emulators on it, And unfortunatley it doesent have Tv-out like the Incredible or Evo.
This idea cant be to crazy right? Wifi is capable to send video/audio and there are loads of wifi video/audio receiver on the market.
Noone thinks this can be done?
you must be ****ing sick freak but genius to have it done ! the idea is ****ing crazy and i think its not possible!:S
I'm not sure what you mean by "wifi video receiver box", but if you mean a UPnP/DLNA media player, check out Twonky Server Mobile and AndroMote.

Yeah exactly, If you search for "TV Output on DROID Incredible by HTC" on Youtube you will see what I wanna achieve, But I want to do it through Wifi instead since most phones dont have a Tv-Out plug.
Apparently I missed the part of the question that says that you want to play some Snes emulators, sorry. As I already typed the following before I re-read your question, I'll post it nevertheless. UPnP media servers are only for media files, not for showing the screen of your phone.
TwonkyServer Mobile is a UPnP media server. It reads the media files on your phone and delivers it to UPnP media renderers, i.e. a box that you can connect to your TV and receive UPnP media streams. Some TVs already have a UPnP media renderer built-in. There's also software that acts as a UPnP media renderer, so you could connect a HTPC to your TV.
AndroMote is a UPnP control point, i.e. a remote control that tells your UPnP media renderer what it should play. The files are served by your UPnP media server (e.g. Twonky Server Mobile). AndroMote is also a media renderer (to play videos on the phone screen), but you don't have to use that.
You could also ignore AndroMote altogether and use the UPnP control point (remote control) that probably comes with your UPnP media renderer.

These seem quite cool, Tobad that they dont support playing back programs/emulators running on the phone or they would be perfect.
HTC itselft promotes this little box ist called "HTC Link"
Review is here http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/30/htc-media-link-dlna-streamer-review/
I know the international version has DLNA support does the vibrant have it? I think the International version uses an Allshare DLNA app or something, I'm not to familiar with it.
I can confirm that the Vibrant does have the allshare DLNA app also.
I didn't even realize it had it until I read your post and took a peek for myself.
I just tested the Vibrant DLNA sharing feature on my PS3.
Played music my Mac using MediaLink. It seems to work nicely.
PS3 sees the new server and plays files from it.
The one thing I couldn't do is push a video to the PS3 and make it play. It seems the PS3 needs to be the one requesting to play the file.

How were you able to get your PS3 to play the video type? I was able to access the videos on my internal memory (16GB), but not my SD card (Avatar). But then it just said Unsupported File Type or whatever.
Is there a way to get the PS3 to play other types of video files than what it comes with stock?
you wont be able to see avatar because of copy right... anything copy written can not be seen over dlna.....
n00b question here, but where and how do I use DLNA on the Vibrant? I just got the phone and I am new to XDA... plz be gentle. LoL
Edit:
N/M Now I feel like a total n00b... found it. "all share"
Sorry, I should have been specific. I played music, but Did not try video.
Use the allshare app to use DLNA.

allshare - That's the name of the app in your phone
Is there DLNA software we can download/install to the PC, to turn the PC into a DLNA server and send files to the phone over my home wifi? (Windows XP Sp3) ... Be easier than having to plug in the USB cable.
thx

you should be able to use windows media player to share content. I'm not sure this method allows you to push content back to your pc
Open Windows Media Player > Library > Media Sharing and mess with settings there
Hey, any1 using the DNLA yet ?
if so, how do you get it to work ?
Mine can't find the destination media, only the phone show up.
What are you using? I use my PS3
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Connected yes, actually play anything with any watchable quality no.
I used Media Player 12 in window 7, but it doesn't work.
I've also used it on my PS3 but it tends to have some issues from time to time.
Working great through wifi using iMediashare tool on my Desire and LG BD390 bluray player. No special options though.

Yes, fully functional.

Using nothing more then the media sharing capabilities built into win7 + divx. Using twonky I am able to play anything shared on my main library to any device running win7 and the built in windows media player with the appropriate setting.
in win7, just make sure you have your libraries shared. With that, your phone, using twonky, should see the upnp/dlna server and be able to play music. I have a collection of mostly divx video, this u cannot play on the phone. I am still hoping for a divx/xvid codec..
If you have a mediacenter/server setup. Ensure your win7 libraries are shared on the library and you can see these shared libraries on your win7 mediacenter. If you can, run windows media player on the mediacenter. Under the Stream menu button check the option to "Allow Remote Control of My Player". Confirm this option and you will now see it on your phone using twonky. You will be able to play music/movies to your mediacenter because it should have the capabilities of decoding the video.
Going further, I have internet access enabled on my media. I can access everything I have from anywhere I have. Haven't tried to do this on my phone yet.. But I prob will sometime. I think the solution may be as simple as a vpn connection to my home network.
Let me know if you have any specific questions...
I did samething you told me to do in win7, but i got error " No permission to access server/service"
I can see it in my phone now.
Works perfectly with my WDTV Live player...
But I'm certainly interested in what nicholasb has to say about the streaming home content via VPN.... if I'm not mistaken.
Was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this combo yet, I've tried and while I can access my home computer's media share on the ps3 can't seem to see the phone's. Is it just not supported yet? I thought DLNA was a pretty open standard and the ps3 does support it.
Is DLNA working on the Nexus 7?
Do you need additional software to use it?
i haven't seen DLNA mentioned anywhere in official specs or reviews so i don't think it has it.
as far as adding it, no idea, don't think it can be done.
All you should need is an DLNA enabled media player from the app store and access to/from network. DLNA is software certification not hardware. Or do you want to stream from the Nexus rather than to it. Try Bubble UPnP or there's Mediahouse and others.

What would be an example of a good DLNA enabled media player to access media files from the network?
The 2 files Bubble UPnP and Mediahouse would then only send my media from this tablet to a DLNA enabled device?
(I have a WD Live Plus DLNA device).
I assume until someone tests these software on the Nexus 7, there might me initial computability issues?
I would wait until you have your device in hand then try the free versions of them to see which is best suited to your needs. As I haven't received mine yet I can't say what works with it.
Install Skifta, that'll do DNLA Server or Client. Combined with MX Player I've never had a problem with using it on any of my Android devices.

Trying to find the same answer. I was pairing a bluetooth headset with my tablet and noticed my TV showed up...but when I click on it, it says something about an incorrect PIN even though there was no prompting for a PIN. Would love to stream to the TV...not sure why I see it under bluetooth either because I'm pretty sure bluetooth can't handle that much data.
DLNA works fine, I use the Plex DLNA server on my HTPC and BubbleUPNP client on my N7. Great combo.
