SE Media Server - DLNA app - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

this is the Media Server app from the Xperia Arc.
I can install and open it but i cant tell if it works because i have no other wireless enabled devices on my house right now, but it should work.

I've been searching for a native SE DLNA app, cheers. Will test tonight. Hope it's better than the 2 DLNA apps I have previously used. They both had limited success. Most of the time I would lose connectivity whilst streaming video.

Well, I tried this app but when activate the media server, the app closes and nothing happens.
When I open the app again, the checkbox appers selected but the status of the media server shows disabled.
I tried this app with the CM6 3.2.1b rom on my mini pro but it maybe works on the 2.1 stock rom.

Yeah, same results for me too.

Maby its because its for Arc, its works for the Big X10I,

[Q] DLNA

So, I'm sure I'll get ripped to shreds here if there does exist such a thread already, but I've searched high and low and cannot find anything about this yet...
I have an xperia x10 running the stock 2.1. all indications were that with the 2.1 update was supposed to be some variation of the remote play app.
i am a bit frustrated with finding out what happened with this. even using 3rd party apps (twonky, iMediashare, etc) cannot play videos remotely from ps3, whereas my sony ericsson elm could...not even a smart phone?!
If anyone has any information on this would be greatly appreciated!
It does make me wonder why people start their threads [Q] but don't think to post it in XPERIA X10 Q&A.
I think DLNA will be available in the next update. how i know? well... in the new firmware .435 in the mediascape if you long press a track an option pops up shaowing to 'play on phone'. This shows there will be option to play on DLNA enabled devices as well.
Can i just ask what is DLNA? and what is it used for?
thanks

Interesting about mediascape. Honestly hadn't used it to play media very much. Mostly use Zimly. I guess the most frustrating part is that I keep seeing the x10 popping up in reviews listed with dlna as a "feature" but have yet to see it implemented by sony. I know it's possible, just wish it was something they cared enough about.

Anyone using ORB?

I've got ORB installed on my home computer and the ORB Live app on my handset. So far I'm able to use my handset to connect to my home PC, view the contents, and stream audio. The problem is that I cannot stream video whatsoever. When trying to stream videos, live tv, or my webcam the handset sits there connecting, but nothing ever streams. Eventually I'll usually get the "failed to stream" message on my handset.
Anyone else using ORB? I'm wondering if I'm suffering from a bandwidth issue, or if my carrier, Mobilicity, is blocking something on their end.
Which browser are you using, stock android or third party from the market?

Stock browser, but the client on the handset is an app called OrbLive.
Screw ORB, go with Plex. It works flawless but it lacks the the ability to stream live tv at the moment

I've been using orb for years on my mobile devices. The ports can not be blocked, not sure which ones orb uses but make sure your router has permissions for the right ones. I did buy the orb app for android and it works good too.
The port blocking may be at your home end or it may be your provider. If it's your provider, check for alternate apn's that may have more access.

I used to use orb, haven't for a while but when I did I just logged in through Skyfire. Not as convenient as an app I suppose but I just saved as a favorite. Never had any issues using it that way

Tried Skyfire, didn't work for me. Android mode just constantly kicks me back to login page, can't access anything. Desktop and default mode puts me in a login loop between http and https and eventually throws an error. Tried Androrb too, no good, nothing streams at all.
Got no port blocking going on at all over here atm, just a direct line from the PC to the intarweb, with nothing but windows firewall in between.
Downloading Plex at the moment, will give it a try, but streaming from my tv tuner would be really nice. I'll take what I can get though I guess. I'll let ya know how plex works out for me.
Well, got plex and my handset refuses to connect to the plex media server. *sigh*

yeah, setting up orb was a pain, kind of hit or miss, to get video to work, but once it does work, its pretty good
check the badly organized orb website and their just as badly put together forum
there are some pointers there that, like me, just might get you to get it working
to be honest, it seemed like i did everything i could, it wasnt working, i uninstalled/reinstalled everything, and then it was working
weird stuff
I have been using ORB for a long time (from Windows Mobile) and it's a very easy way to have access to music, photos, tv, videos and documents... The problem is that the OrbLive app does not work with 2.3 and no update has been made to the app...

BBCi Player App - No live content? UK

I know that their are issues with the BBCi player and ICS update that means the app doesn't work on the Prime but, I found that in practice I can play recorded content from both t.v and radio but not receive live content. In fact their is no menu option to chose live t.v or radio in the app, well not that I can see.
Is anyone else seeing the same scenario? Is it just the Prime or indicative of all ICS powered equipment? Any ideas? Rumour of updates etc?
I know about the get-a-round vis the desktop version from a browser. I am just wondering if it is only my Prime that semi-runs the iplayer app or if this is just a result of the bbc not getting it's app update act together?
I have installed the iPlayer and all it does it to take me to iPlayers web site. The app does start with iPlayers black screen but immediately transfers me to the browser. It seems its trying to do something and then gives up.
I repaired phone software yesterday and worked fine prior to that but now when downloaded it requires bbci media player giving the impression it is about to work and then goes to black screen.Reloaded Adobe flashplayer .apk but to no avail.Trying to source BBCI player .apk and try work around.Such a pain.

droidmote
I managed to root the device. But running droidmote is still an issue. I got the server up and running, but when using the client it just doent give a response. When starting the server using the huge button it sometimes doesnt run. Just when using the button several times it goes to status started.
Im using server 3.0.7 and client 3.4.4.
I read something about uinput. My device has the sys/modules/uinput folder. But it just has one file called version. So i think i probably miss you right uinput files. Can somebody help me to compile such a file?

you have uinput. you must only use the last version of the server and the last version of the client otherwise not work.
last server version at this date and time is 3.1.3
last version client at this date and time is 3.4.4
the protocol between the server and the client is changed for that reason you need the last versions.
If you buyed the server why not update ? only if you not buyed you can't update
Hi Zulu99,
Yes it works now, i updated to the latest version.
Which "mediacenter" application do you recommend with this device? I installed XBMC but its terrible slow. I also tried a combination of XBMC nightly build with MXplayer. Playing the videos works fine now. But i think the interface of the Nightly build isnt that great. I prefer the interface of the official XBMC.
I also buyed the full version of Archos player. This player plays everything fine, but the problem with Archos is that it keeps scanning my whole HDD for new media, and i just want to select an folder which should be scanned. Any idea how to fix this?
Or do you know a better solution?
Thx
The best solution would be using the android standard video player in combination with XBMC. Till now the only player which displayed Avatar SBS 3d flawless was the standard android player. All other players like, MOBO, BS player, MX player lagged alot.
Does anybody know how to disable the bottom banner of mx player during full screen. I read something about Gesture applications, but this is more for touch devices and this isnt the case for me.
I use XBMC with MX Player.
I love MX Player for another reason. In combination with DreamDroid, i receive the tv streaming from my satellite decoder DreamBox.
I see all tv channels in any room on my Tablet or on Minix Neo G4 attached via hdmi to any tv. and control it with DroidMote.
I like the zoom-in functions for the video in MX Player and is full compatible and controllable with DroidMote.
look this video, especially the last part:

[Q] Best 'Screen Mirroring App' ????

Hi Everyone,
I was just trying the different apps for Screen Sharing from the Tab (SM-P601, Android 4.3) to a Windows Laptop/Desktop.
I came across 2 apps:
1. MirrorOp Sender for Galaxy
However, this needs to Install receiver device (additional Receiver software) on the computer, which is not always possible, when i am in someone else's office on a desktop locked with Admin password.
2. Screen Stream Mirroring trial
This app enables to broadcast to 'Google chrome' or 'VLC Player' or even on 'YouTube'. On VLC Player, it can even be recorded. But at the present moment, on Android 4.3, it gives me error on 'Hardware Rendering Format'. As a result, the broadcast is very slow and laggy.
However, both these apps require that the Tablet and the Computer be connected to the same WiFi Network.
Does anyone has any better options/ideas ?? A better App ??
Try shou
Side Sync 3.0
Is there any reason your not using this ? I mirror my Note 10.1 and Note 4 to my Windows 8 laptop this way just fine.
Did you ever get this to work? I have not been successful with my note and HP laptop. Do you have any notes about your setup? Versions of the client and server?
thanks
Try teamviewer, download teamviewer on pc and quicksupport teamviewer at play store, then just connect, or alternate use mobizen. Both tested and working.
Goodluck...
