HTC media link - HTC EVO 3D

hi all, its any other device that works like HTC media LINK? i was thinking buy the HTC media link, but i want support to more codecs and so on, something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Android-1080P-Full-HD-Network-DLNA-MKV-Bluray-ISO-Media-Player-Realtek-1186-/250947964440?pt=Home_Theater_in_a_Box&hash=item3a6daa0e18#ht_18971wt_1037
anyone knows any device working like this? or i should buy htc media link? what can or cant do with media link?and lets say what happen if in the future i have another phone, htc media link will work for something?
Thanks a lot

If you're referring to the media link they announced with the HTC one, this ebay item it completely different. The media link is hdmi mirroring but wifi. It isn't out yet and htc hasn't released much info yet so not sure what else it might support. It could be only available for the htc one.
The device you found on ebay specifies Dlna. Dlna is similar to the media link in the sense you are sharing content from your phone to the tv, but it's not mirroring. It would only work with what you have in your gallery. So streaming netflix for example or playing a game wouldn't show on your tv.

Dont forget to klick thanks
Just looked up DroidTV on the MArket. Sounds like an amazing app, but it lists Archos tablets as not appropriate. Thats a shame as it would have looked great on such a big screen ....

Yap Tv Show Stream is quite nice, you can see all series but the disadvantage is that not all movies are in there (maybe because that app is quite new)
You can find it in the market or here

Use HDMI and DLNA to mirror movies without cable

I was curious to find out how the hdmi works with our phones so when I went to the sprint store the get my defender case swapped out for a commuter case, I asked about it. Basically DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) allows for a person to easily share their videos, music, and photos. I never knew our phones had this feature, so I download the "Double Twist" player app(its free) and "Air Sync" (its not free, you can figure out which way you want to get it) and when you open double twist, go to settings>air twist & air play and check the box next to it. Now if you have an internet cable tv, xbox 360, or ps3, you can stream and mirror your movies on their with NOOOO LAG!!!!!! You can also view your pics and stream your music as well. I love this feature. I thought I'd share.
Doesn't the phones "Media Share" application do the same thing?
Or are these programs better than that?

However, as of right now we are limited to formats that the hardware support. Hopefully RockPlayer or Vplayer will include this ability so that any movie format can be streamed.
Is it possible to mirror what is on the device using DLNA and Media Share? If so, how can it be done?

What do you mean by "what's on the device?"

It's just a preference. With double twist you use it as a media player also on the go. Being able to share media is a big plus and that's what matters.
Sorry if I was unclear. What I mean by "what's on the device" is complete mirroring. (being able to see everything that is being done on the device)
I would like to be able to do that over some sort of wireless connection to my TV.

Nope. I believe that won't be possible to do without root.
Too bad :-(
Thanks for the help!!

The EVO3D does do full mirroring.
Maybe not over DLNA but it does over HDMI.

Really?!?! You just made my day.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
DLNA doesn't give mirroring. Think of it more like turning your phone into a media server. It doesn't play the media on the server, but rather is just a host so your other devices can stream the media to them.
I've used DLNA already quite a bit through my ASUS O!Play HD2. There is a little bit of delay in starting the media, but everything streams smooth once it starts.
Anyone know how to do this with a Samsung TV with All Share? I spent some time last night but couldn't get it to work. My TV can't see my phone and vice versa. But my laptop can see my phone and play its content.
Anyone know if this is possible using a Wii?

Yes, I had a Samsung led 3D, swapped it for an LG passive 3D. Go into the media share app while connected to WiFi and check the box to share your media. Check music, pics, and videos. Now go to "set shared folders" and pick the folders off your EVO 3D you want to share. While on all share on the t.v. while connected to.the same network it will find your phone. If not, don't use the all share app on t.v. just go to the media play app and it will be there. Or. On phone go to connected devices app, choose the media you want to share and then your t.v. and it will play if its supported content.

How about a set top box for non connected monitors

Look for a media server option on your wii. Or a share media option. I dont have a wii so im just guessing.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
Thats pretty nifty. Hooked it up to my sammy led and it works really well.

Can we run Media Link like the One X?

Okay so since I don't have a dlna tv I haven't really wondered about this, but is it possible to stream our rezound screens to the tv via the media link on some of the sense 4 roms? I've seen some apps that can do your pictures and stuff, but haven't found anything to actually stream the screen to the tv.
I want to know if this can be done wirelessly.
Im sure someone knows that answer.

[Q] make my ps3 or tv recognize and play media from my phone over wifi

My PS3 and my smart tv pickup my windows computer over wifi enabling me to show pictures music and videos on it. Im assuming this is a windows feature that allows it to show up like that. Is there any type of app that can fake the tv I to thinking my phone is a wi dows media?
I may be using wrong technology terms here but hope what I am saying makes sense
Hey,
There are many apps for that in Google Play, the technology is called "DLNA", just look for that in Google Play.
I use imediashare for displaying videos and pictures on my Sony TV. But with this app you normally send your media to the TV, and not the other way round.
Just try it!

Ill give it a try, im away from my tv for a few days. what im assuming is my vizio tv that i can access my videos via submenus on the vizio tv app "Vmedia" i would be able to see my phone up on it. Or is this needing an extra thing connected to the phone or tv?
just bumping the question

[Q] HTC One MAX and media link HD not streaming??

Has anyone tried using the media link HD with the one max?? I cannot get it to stream. it will only go into mirroring mode. Working with HTC but they claim it should work. All updates to phone and media link are done. Just want to know if anyone else has had trouble or i will swap the phone.
Thanks,
(i have two other HTC phones that it works on so not the media link HD. Its a one max specific issue)
i can confirm the media link hd only mirrors on the htc one max. i have the sprint version. stock not rooted.
when i went to the media link, it prompted me to update its firmware. as you mentioned, that did not help.
i know on the htc one and other devices (the lte 4G for example as well) whenever I would play a video or some other file and i was around my media link hd, i would get a prompt asking if i wanted to stream to the tv.. with the max, i get no such notification.
whats cool is my blu ray player, the sony 5100, picked up the pone and i can stream through that whilst i do other things on the device. i did not know the phone could talk to the player.
so yeah its not your phone its more likely a bug that needs removed.. :good:
Ok thank you for checking. I'll will mention that to HTC tech support.

Ok so if anyone actually reads this don't waste your money on the HTC media link. The roku box or most decent blu-Ray players do the same thing and more.
Sent from my HTC0P3P7 using xda app-developers app
agree. thanks to your post i fired up the media link HD and at the same time had my blu ray player running. the max saw the blu ray player and the streaming was lovely.
i picked up chromecast and its been doing well. if someone is on the fence about getting the media link HD, id also suggest holding off. pick up a chromecast first as its much cheaper.
maybe htc will update the media link hd later....
