[Q] Streaming to Xbox - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi there,
Is there anyone who gets their HTC Flyer to stream anything to an Xbox 360? I have been trying to use the build-in feature for doing that, but the Flyer does not seem to find the Xbox, though I would expect it should be working as the devices both use DLNA.
The guide does not supply any extra information, and neither does the internet.
Does anyone know how I could configure the Xbox correctly?
Thanks!

make sure they are in the same network

You can sync photos and videos in these formats:
Photos: *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpeg, *.jpg, *.png
Videos: *.3gp, *.3g2, *.mp4, *.wmv

sync or stream?

I think that the XBOX is here the problem because the XBOX must find your Flyer and not vice versa. I can't try it now but you have to re-install the WiFi (or other) connection with the Flyer connected to it. Hereby the XBOX must find the Flyer as media stream device and you can open the source on the XBOX.

PS3/XBOX connectivity?

Hi all,
I'm new to Android and am now a proud owner owner of the SGS2 (bye bye Nokia N97 ).
Is there any way my consoles can see the S2 folders when connected through USB?
Many thanks in advance.
The PS3 could read the file system on the SGS1. I haven't test it with the SGS2 but it's easy enough to test. Just connect the SGS2 to PS3 in USB mode then go to music/video and select the USB storage (triangle->display all).
I have tried to connect to both, the PS3 says usb device not recognised and xbox sees that a device is plugged in but cant find any files...
Whilst not totally what you're asking for you can actually stream video and audio to the Xbox and PS3 through DLNA. Samsung have bundled the AllShare app for it and it seems to work pretty well.

On your phone go to: Settings > Wireless and Network > USB Utilities > Connect storage to PC
Or use doubletwist airsync

How is this done on xbox? Do I need to add anything or do it via laptop?
Will it stream mkv and avis via xbox?
The XBox has a DLNA client, so you should be able to stream direct from the phone to the XBox using AllShare or similar.
The XBox will only play formats that it can play itself, though. DLNA streaming just streams the file, the phone won't do any format conversions.

PS3 is the same. Unfortunately it won't play videos shot by the SGS2 as they are 3GPP.

The filename on mine say that as well but when it is buffering to stream it says 3gpp which IIRC is a profile of mp4.
Thanks for the replies guys...
Connected to both with USB using Bawezy's answer and they both recognized the S2.
The Xbox show videos as mp4 and the PS3 won't play them at all, I guess the latter sees them in their 3gpp format.
Couldn't get the Allshare to work with the Xbox, the S2 sees the Xbx but I don't know how to see shared files, not yet tried with PS3.
I'm looking for a program that will convert videos made on GSII to playable on PS3
Any idea ???
Of course - working on GSII
What format are your videos?
Ps3 Quick way: Enable usb debugging on phone. Connect to ps3. Once connected, enable mass storage on phone.
Then Go to Videos on ps3, and press triangle on the USB, click 'display all'.
You have all your folders to see. The files that aren't compatible won't be displayed.
So far I've not been able to play MKV files. Not sure about 3gp.
And about DLNA streaming. You could try that with downloading iMediashare or Skifta from the market for free. I use iMediashare.

program that allows streaming audio/ video from DLNA sources???

so, there used to be a program called ORB that allowed you to stream audio/video/pictures from your home network devices to your evo4g; they stopped updating it awhile ago, and, it no longer works with 2.3.3
has anyone found a system/program, that allows you to stream stuff from your home DLNA compliant sources, to the EVO3d?
preferably, via 3g/4g, so it would work when you are away from your home wifi..
thanks so much!
Yes, it comes preinstalled on the EVO.. its called media server... When you click on gallery, you can touch the top bar and pick media server and it will search for available content...

unfortunately, it doesnt show any of the videos on my 2 DLNA compliant NAS boxes...
anyone else find anything?
thanks!
Try using iMediaShare, its a free app that works well on my PS3.
imedia share shows the nas boxes on my network, but, wont play any .mkv files, which is how I encode my bluray movies...
I guess I need a media player that plays .mkv files over the network...
I used iMediaShare with MoboPlayer and it plays mkv from DLNA sources. It stutter a little.

how do you get imedia share to use moboplayer?
I can't seem to get imedia share to see that I want to use moboplayer to play vids..
thanks!
I didn't have to do anything, it switched to MoboPlayer when I pick a mkv movie.
is the .mkv file on your phone, or on your home network server?
I need to see stuff on my home network server..
thanks
mkv is on my WDTV Live player. I'm streaming DLNA from the WDTV Live.
I was trying to stream with SMB to the Evo 3D but couldn't get it to work without it downloading the whole movie before it plays. My Archos 101 have no issue streaming 720p mkv through SMB.

I wish I could get Imedia to see my NAS drives, where I keep all my media stuff..
I used to use a program called Orb to stream stuff from my NAS boxes to my phone, and it worked like a charm, via 3/4g and wifi..unfortunately, they never updated the program to work with 2.3...
Oh well, I guess I will keep looking. thanks for your suggestions!
I'm still looking for a solution to stream 3g/4g. Currently I can only stream on the LAN. Let me know if you find something.
its not DLNA, but you might try subsonic

partly solved: could be done via Miracast, if THIS would be possible.

Cast MKV with subtitles and DVD files from network share

Hi guys,
Previously I'd all my videos on my Macbook and I was using Videostream to cast everything to my Chromecast (with the Videostream app on my Android phone as remote), that was working fine but didn't work with DVD files and my Macbook had to be on when I'd like to watch something.
Yesterday I came across a old 400GB SATA harddisk of mine so I thought: what if I connect that drive to my TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND router which does have a USB port and build-in network share and dnla/upnp support. So I've connected everything with a cheap sata/usb adapter from Ebay, connected the network share to my Macbook and PC and copied some videos to it.
I can't run any applications on my router like Videostream or Plex so I need a app on my Android phone which can stream from my network share to my Chromecast. I've searched around and tried Allcast and Localcast:
- Allcast, I can't find a way to access the network share.
- Localcast, works great through samba and dnla/upnp! But... I can't get subtitles working which are builtin my mkv video files. I didn't try dvd files yet.
Also I'm looking for a functionality which can keep track on what movies I've watched.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
try airflow app
Airflow is only for music...
Don't tested with Chromecast, but Bubbleupnp is a nice streaming app. Give it a try.
