I can get media streaming to work using DLNA with my TV. The 2D stuff is flawless. 3D videos from my EVO can be a bit wonky. Sometimes the video plays in 3D on my TV (Panasonic 55ST50) and sometimes it displays the video in SBS (yet both images are in 3D), it's bizarre. It's like my TV knows it's 3D but doesn't really detect it properly so kinda messes it up. But some other videos play exactly how they should! So I don't know, probably the TV's auto-detection. However, 3D pictures. They won't even display. I get a "Cannot open file type" error. However I checked the TV's specs. It supports MPO. So I bought the TV thinking this would work. Has anyone here had experience with this?

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that some youtube content says 3D and even displays side by side preview images but still plays in 2D.
Is this a bug? My youtube app doesn't have a play in 3D function like the video player so I can't toggle it. It just looks like a standard 2D video.
Any ideas?. Is this due to me not taking the OTA?
some videos work, some don't.
3D Youtube not 3D
Yes, I noticed this today. In fact, a couple of 3D videos I watched yesterday on youtube that showed up in 3d, are only in 2D today...hmmmm.
I have yet to see anyone confirm that the MHL adapter will output 3d to a 3d enabled tv, (since it is said to only support 2d currently in 1.0) and I wanted to check out how well it works. So I began figuring out a way to do it, and while not as simple as hooking up a cable to your phone it works and works quite well.
I have a Mitsubishi 3d tv and it worked well on it, as I am not a 3d tv expert I am not sure how or if it will work on other ones, but I would think it would.
I am using an Xbox 360 to achieve this, however a laptop hooked up to your 3d tv will probably also work.
Video has played in 3d fine across my xbox 360. I first tried using the Windows Media Center and it worked well, but WMC proved to be way to slow for me. Also my pictures would not show up. So I continued experimenting and came up with the way listed below which now displays all my content.
1. Install tversity onto your computer and configure it to run on your Xbox 360 as well as set up a folder to hold your 3d content.
2. Drag all the content you want to see from your phone on the 3d tv into the folder. I simply named a folder 3dcontent so I could easily identify it on the Xbox.
3. Download StereoPhoto Maker I am not sure what XDAs policy is on links but just Google StereoPhoto Maker it is the first result.
4. Open StereoPhoto Maker and then add a photo to it by going to file open stereo image. This will give you a split stereo image from your .mpo file which is what your phone saves them as. Just simply hit s, and a dialog box will come up in which you just hit save. You end up with a bunch of stereoscopic image jpeg's.
5. Access tversity on your Xbox 360 and browse to your pictures folder that holds the stereoscopic 3d photos once you start viewing the pictures simply switch your 3d tv into the left right mode, turn on your glasses, and you should now have your photos in 3d.
If you are having trouble with the videos simply go into tversity under settings then trans coder and set to always trans code.
Hope this helps those of you wanting to watch your 3d content on the big screen.
Great post, I have been courious
I don't have a 3d tv yet but with this phone makes me want to have one. Will the phone stream 2d to a tv as well?? The only info I saw on the HTC site was about 3d video.
There is an even easier way....
I turn on the Media Share option (DLNA Server) on the 3VO and then with my ps3 play back the movies directly off the phone and make sure my TV decodes the 3D video as SBS (Side By Side).
I have a 65" PAnasonic Plasma 3d TV and it did not detect the 3D video automatically when playing it through the PS3 but once I forced my TV's 3D mode to SBS it worked perfectly.
EDIT: This method only works for movies recorded on your Evo 3d not pictures as the PS3 does not recognize the .mpo format.
I just got an new 55" LG 3DTV and it has WiFi builtin. DLNA works great with just the TV and Phone but just like the PS3 it will not do 3d pictures because of the format (.mpo or .jps).
So the phone does actually save 3D images and video.... Has anyone tried using something like TriDef (DDD) to play the 3D files? I'm considering picking one of these up as I got a 3D TV now as its cheaper than an actual 3D camera and quite frankly it would make my adventures look awesomer. Anyone care to upload sample files I could try out?

Googling EVO 3D Images returned bunch of 2D images :/
I Have a few movies downloaded in 3D in the Side by Side Format. I was wondering if there is any player out there that will play the file in Full Screen 2D.
Like getting rid of the right image and stretch the left image to fit the screen instead of overlaying the two images.
No, that's the format. It has to be reformatted first

i was actually curious about this too because if you record something with the phone it lets you switch and if you transfer that to your computer or play it in another player its a sbs video so im thinking it has to be something simple like a tag that the phone reads.... i did notice that if you view it with the phone and long press "detail" then it shows mp4-3d so if there is a way to make it see your movie like this i think it would work i just havn't yet figured it out as im still playing around with 3d movies and such
Im having some trouble transcoding and im not sure if its the Evo 3D having issues, or if its the way its been transcoded (settings or the program itself).
The videos play fine on the Evo 3D screen, but when i use the MHL out and stock app to playback the video, its jerky...some parts lag and stutter. Ive tried numerous settings, 720p, 1080p, average bit rate (1500-5000), constant quality(20-30).
Ive tried using Handbrake 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 and neither has an effect on the issue.
Just to be clear, im not trying 960x540 because i want it to be at least 720p for the HDTV. My Evo 4G played some of these files fine. Im wondering if this is an issue caused by the Evo 3D using mirroring instead of an app controlled HDMI out.
Anyone having any luck encoding 720p or higher video for the Evo 3D without any issues on TV out?
Does anyone know a good app that can stream 3d movies on your pc to your evo 3d?? I can't seem to find one. I've tried plex, skifta, gmote and it wont play in 3d. I think the only player that can allow you to play in 3d is the Evo's native video player which gives you the option to 3d. Otherwise you have to place the 3d movie on your phones SD card which takes up a lot of space. So I am trying to store it on my computer and just stream it through DLNA. If anyone knows that would be great.
Try zumocast. Havent tried it for 3d movies but i dont see why it wouldnt work.

I actually had the same thought and tried zumocast but it just plays the movie sbs. I think it must use a default player that doesn't support stereoscopic.

Have you tried from VLC direct Pro? According to the app, you can stream from phone to pc and vice versa. I emailed them about it, but they have yet to respond. A lot of the movie files I've seen are over 4GB, which is the limit for either android or my HTC evo3d (forgot).
EDIT:
Also, MX Video allows me to play all the 3D videos I've recorded. I prefer this app to the native for movies because it has convenient controls using swipe gestures.
