Hey,
I am about to buy the Tablet S and have searched google for a while but haven't found any real world experiences with using the DLNA to XBOX.
Has anybody done this and what were the results?
Does the Tablet just come up as a media server on the XBOX?
Thanks!

In my experience the DLNA on the tab is client (incoming) not (server) outgoing. i.e music sever set up on laptop I can play song on tab, or from xbox i can stream from laptop.
BUT NOT from Tablet Itself. So unless theres a media server (or similar) app then not possible with standard software???

There are a number of DLNA server applications available on the Google Play Store which can be used to turn the Sony into a DLNA Media Server. I don't have an Xbox to test, but it should then appear.

Just wondering if there is anything similar to AirVideo for iOS. For those of you that are unfamiliar, it streams/converts video from your PC to your phone.
Yes please, Ive tried using other alternatives but they simply dont work as well.
Well the included Allshare DLNA application will stream compatible video from a DLNA compliant server over wifi (XBMC, Xbox360, PS3, MediaCenter)....
I use XBMC on my home media server, and it streams fine to the phone. Not familiar with AirVideo, so I cannot compare how "functional" it is relative to what's built in to our phones.
there is some free ubuntu software that works with this too. VLC I think and Tomb media player is what I am using at home. You can stream videos to Tomb and and connect to tomb over the phone through allshare.
Hi
I see the sgs2 has AllShare which would appear to be able to send media to a DLNA server?
I want a box that I can stream photos/music to and it needs to play it through the TV. I was looking at the Western Digital TV Live hub media centre but then i figured an XBox360 would do the same thing and more anyone got any advice? both are below £200
Thanks
So you have taken some pictures and a movie on your new PRIME and you want to stream the slide show or show the movie via your HTPC (of course connected to your TV). You don't want to connect your PRIME to the TV via an HDMI cable. You don't want to physically upload the multi-media to your HTPC, just stream it.
So what app are you using on the PRIME?
What software are you using on your HTPC?
Is the connection WiFi or Bluetooth?
So who has done this and what is your solution?
I am ONLY looking for working solutions that you have had success with.
Me too! I want something like the splashtop app but reversed.

Thanks everyone for your input.
The MirrorOp product line (software & hardware) from AWINDINC looks exactly what I want for WiFi projection from my PRIME to a HTPC. They support MAC's and PC's with their software.
Basically you need their sender software on your PRIME tablet and their receiver software on your PC. The MirrorOP Photo Sender is FREE and does not require ROOT. The MirrorOP Sender software cost $10, requires ROOT, can project video but NO audio. Also your PC must have WiFi or be on lan network that has Wifi. You also need to visit their website to get your PC or MAC software to be able to receive your video.
BubbleUPnP is going to take a little time to play with to see if it will work.
I am going to try the MirrorOP software this evening and report back tomorrow.

The MirrorOP Sender works GREAT. You get about 5 minutes FREE usage. If you want more then you must pay $10. NO AUDIO and about 20 FPS according to their test program.
The MirrorOP Photo Sender works and is FREE but there is a problem with colors so not recommended with the current release.
Both of these apps were tested from my ROOTED PRIME.
The PC Receiver program is FREE and works with both apps.
My quest was to find an app for the PRIME and software for my HTPC to stream video or pictures FROM the PRIME to the HTPC via WiFi. With your help I have found the software to do that job.
Now I am looking to add AUDIO to the upload from the PRIME to my HTPC for the perfect combination!
Any suggestions for that perfect combination would be appreciated.

Since you mention an HTPC as a client why not use DLNA/UPnP? Most pads have a DLNA server, ASUS adds for free MyNet, use that to share your media files with your HTPC client.
Just launch the media player on your HTPC (for sure it will support DLNA/UPnP) search for a server (the MyNet on your TP), browse for your media and .... play.
You might want to enable Digital Media Server under the settings of MyNet. I believe it's on by default, I have it always off.
The MirrorOP someone suggested you is basically a remote desktop server (needing a proprietary client) which replicates your local TP screen to your client. There are very few remote desktop solutions that support sound as well.
Use Skifta (free on android market).
It's an DLNA enabled player that let's you pick your DLNA source and render target.
Using the TF201 as the source and my HTPC (XBMC Eden Beta 3 / Win 7.. be sure to enable "Allow control of XBMC via UPNP" in Network Settings) as the target, I was able to stream over wifi.
Short movie clip I made from TF201's camera worked with both video and audio. I also was able to stream RIO.mkv from TF201 which surprised me. It's 1080p h.264 (encoded full profile at CQ19) mkv with 5.1 sound. I only watched about 4 minutes though.
I tried to bypass the HTPC and use my TV (Ethernet DLNA enabled Samsung LN46C750) as the DLNA target but playback wasn't smooth. It would play for 3-4 seconds, buffer, resume playing, buffer again, etc.,.. Going through HTPC worked much better.
Thanks for the post, as I had not thought to test Skifta this way. Normally, I just use it pick music on my NAS (10TB Synology 411J) for playback on the HTPC.
I think 2player and bubbleupnp(not free) should also work like skifta.. but I haven't tested them..

Thanks for your input. I want to play music and video from the PRIME to my HTPC.
I am aware of several apps for my PRIME for DLNA server functions:
Skifta
UPnPlay which requires a 3rd party player for video.
BubbleUPnP
The questions is what is the best software for my Windows 7 PC to be a DLNA CLIENT?
I am not using XBMC but MediaPortal for my HTPC functions.
There is an XDA forum for BubbleUPnP - UPnP/DLNA Control Point and Renderer.
The BubbleUPnP Server site. BUBBLEUPNP SERVER IS NOT AN UPNP AV MEDIA SERVER. It requires at least one working UPnP AV Media Server (Windows Media Player, Twonky, Asset UPnP, ...) to do something useful.
I will try BubbleUPnP tonight.
Awwww man, i thought this thread was going to lean towards mirroring.

My Desktop PC has a TV car in it and I record and watch shows through it, at the moment I can stream the recorded TV shows and other videos to my Nexus 10 using ES File Explorer.
However I am curious to find out if there is a way of streaming the live TV as it plays on my Desktop PC, over the wi-fi to my Nexus 10?
I know VLC player has some streaming capabilities with TV cards.. don't know how effective this will be?
Is their an easier way, other programs designed for this?
I do use TV Catchup app on my tablet to watch live TV sometimes but I would like a solution that is just utilizing the wi-fi and not the internet connection!
Cheers.

I would think a media extender app would be more useful. Like the how the xbox 360 app works. That would take care of the storage issue and the copy protection. Anyone know of one or a reason that wouldn't work?
1. Remote Media Center App + Remote Potato: Have not tried it and it may not be compatible with jellybean 4.2 according to the reviews.

2. XBMC will connect to hdhomerun tuners but you will need to provide a file with a list of channels for your particular cable provider.

Xbmc can connect to various backend tv servers (android app are still beta), like mediaportal tv server, and you don't need any additional files provided that you setup tv server right. Other option are using mediaportal and ampdroid app, but you have to setup mediaextender program in addition, on pc.

Hi all,
I have a network drive with my media library attached to the router (belkin 600 play). Also I have Xperia z tablet and dlna enabled Samsung TV. Router is not a dlna media server.
I need a player for android that can
1)see not just servers but all shares of the local network. (bs player can do this the way I would like to)
2) play all formats is "a must"
3) cast playback to TV (as a dlna server)
So as for now there are tons of players with different combinations of these features, but none combine them all. I wonder if bsplayer pro can play to TV, but not ready to pay 7$ to get Answer))))
Thanks
