There is a DLNA server app "Connected Devices" (Verbundene Medien, I use German Sense), but I could not get it to work on the network to show up as a server for i.e. Windows Media Player. But the free Twonky Server http://androidandme.com/2010/01/news/twonkyserver-mobile-media-server-in-your-pocket/ from the market does the job just fine! There is also a fine paid app Remote Media that can act both as a DLNA server and client (streaming to the Desire).

Hello
I would like to know if there is any app for Desire with which i could use my desire as remote control for my PC (via bluetooth?)... espacially Volume up down or Play/Pause on VLC/PowerDVD/Media Player
thx
gMote claims to be a remote control program. I am not sure that it works via Bluetooth though.
VLC Remote is really good. Use it all the time on my Linux and Windows machines.
VLC gets my vote!
Hi you can remote control your mac from Iphone using actymac. com ActyMac DutyWatch Remote.
Media player classic has it's remote control app which works great for me.

I've used several apps for this feature but I always go back to myRemote. It's main function is as a Windows media remote but it functions perfectly well in normal Windows as a trackpad + keyboard

I use PhoneMyPC - i find it a great app, and very fast + only a few KBytes to download.
Hey guys want to know if DLNA function is only available in Sense - based roms, because i use CM 6.1.3. but can't find it there. In a sense rom i just have to click on a picture, mp3 or video and choose player and then my PC or TV, which are connected to the same wifi station, and the files are streamed. I hope someone could give me some help for this.

I don't remember that DLNA even works on HTC default ROM

Off-Topic: It works on stock ROM. Just enable WIFI. Connect DLNA-Device to Router. (connecting it over PC to Router doesn't work, device won't be dedected by DHD)
Then Start stock video/picture/music app and go to menu "change player".
Hi
I know that with DLNA you are able to stream media files only to DLNA compatible devices such as TVs and sound systems. What I am looking for is a way to view my Desire Z screen on my TV, in ANY way. Maybe an app that use DLNA features or something.
I mean, something?
You could install a VNC server on your phone ("droid vnc server" from the marker free or paid doesn't matter) and install some sort of vnc client on your computer. by doing that you can display your phones screen on your computer.
Then you can connect your computer to your tv.
there might be easier ways that i am not aware of but this the only thing that i can think of.
XBox 360 and Playstation 3 are DLNA compatible. Do you have either of those hooked up to your TV?

twonky server and skifta work good. i use them to play music on my ps3 and xbox.
Hi,
I have Samsung smart TV at home. My other Android device (Samsung Galaxy S3) is able to stream on demand to the TV with the Samsung app named Allshare. But that's a DLNA application and we have other DLNA apps for non-Samsung devices like Nexus 7.
For example, iMediaShare is a good DLNA server app. I can connect to my Nexus 7 from my TV, when I run DLNA app on the NExus 7.
However, I can't send photo or video to the TV on demand, as in the Samsung DLNA app (Allshare)
Is there a good DLNA app for Nexus 7 which could do what Samsung Allshare does ?
Thanks.
Maybe Skifta is what you are looking for

From what I read about skifta, I understand that it's not DLNA but uses a proprietary protocol, which works with only it's own server-client software. I need plain DLNA which works with TV's DLNA client.
Why dont you try twonky? Works fine for me

does it have the capability of pushing a file (photo for example) from the Android device to a DLNA player (TV) ?
You can try BubbleUPnP. It sets your tablet as a UPnP server.

already tried. it's not what I'm looking for.
I need a DLNA server. But a DLNA server with push abilities.

skifta can do all you need i'm using it on my gnex and N7 and connect great with my samsung smart tv es8000 allshare app.
you can send photo/video/music to the tv from n7....(open skyfta, select ource N/, select player smart tv, then browse your file and tap on the desidered )
or if you want to act from tv: open skifta on your n7, it will trasform your android device into a multimedia server named 'skifta'; open all share on sammy tv and you will see 'skifta' server, select it, browse your n7 files and play it! very easy man
after skifta installation, in the 'share menu' of your N7 will appear the entry 'skyfta' you can use it to share from gallery, file browser etc
sorry, it's only in Italian, but you can easly see how skifta work

I HAVE A samsung with all share . bubble up will do the following ..
with bubble up connected to the tv thru wifi .. i can send video from my desktop pc wired to the same network. thru the tablet and output on the tv wireless.. it Just works... I do have custom kernel.. not sure if it has anything to do with it or not . Not tried it on stock.. I discovered this to work with my acer a500 . one day when i went to connect it i thought i had plugged in the cable watched a move then realized it was NOT Plugged in ..
SO im not sure how but it JUST WORKS. the all share does not really show where the connection is coming from.. Guess it would be in the settings but i have not really looked .
there is one called Via that also worked on my acer not installed it on the nexus
---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------
Just tried using bubble up on my vizio tv .. dlna..
it works just the same. The reason i was able to stream movies to my tv thru the tablet was . ES FILE Browser launched before hand with the network drive MOUNTED.. way Bubble up sees the files as local on the device .. pushing them to the tv is easy just browse the menu on the tv . it will show the mounted resource.. on my tv it shows /mnt/bonniespc/m/movies..
the files are on the network on bonnies pc on a seperate drive called m in a directory called movies.. On the pc we have the samsung media share server program running under windows 7 64 bit.. The M drive is a 2 tb seagate drive all of this is connected thru a 45.00 netgear router. with a dlink 8 port switch.. the pc in question is on a dedicated ip as it also host our website and ftp...
anyway GOOD LUCK GETTING it to work . it can happen ..
Thanks.
Skifta really worked for me.
It can detect the TV and push any file (photo/video) to it.

Just wanted to share my experience today I bought this app since I own HD Homerun while having it on Kodi with PVR was nice it required a server computer to be running while watching.
Just wanted to let all guys know that the app costs 2.99$ (it's not mine of course I wish I was that skilled) everything works amazingly with fire REMOTE there is only one small issue in order to hit PLAY you must use mouse, I emailed dev asking him about this so it might be fixed soon!
How it works? it uses MX player or VLC media player to play the live channel ( my ISP is Verizon fios ) and channels stream usually around 18 mbps on lan in HD.
My Setup is:
Ethernet Cable
Homerun TV
VLC Media player (newest extracted from playstore) sometimes screen gets black it might be VLC issue (did not try with MX Player)
I'd say it's worth 2.99$ quality over VLC media player is great as well!
Update Feb 06 2015
Small Tips:
In order to play channel you must USE mouse to point it to "play button"
Set VLC media player to "Full hardware accelaration"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zaren.HomeRunTV&hl=en
Stream live TV from your HDHomeRun device to your phone or tablet. (Unprotected, copy freely channels only)
This application will allow you to stream live TV to your android phone or tablet. It can be streamed to your device in 1 of 2 ways.
1. Directly from the hdhomerun to your device. This requires a strong network connection to your device (wireless N recommended) and a powerful enough device to decode 1080i video.
2. Through the HdhomerunStreamServer. This uses VLC to transcode the video to a lower bandwidth.
you're telling me you can stream HD smoothly with this app? It's been a couple months since I tried it when it first was released for the Fire TV, and any HD channel caused severe stuttering. I'm on a wired GBe LAN as well. That'd be great if an update to the app fixed this.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I was referring to the app released by Silicon Dust themselves.

Yea the silicondust app is very laggy.
This one streams without a SINGLE lag because it uses MX Player or VLC.
Make sure to sideload VLC media player.
I asked the dev about placing the play button somwhere else. We'll see what happens.
Streams perfectly.

If you don't mind me asking, what setup were you using with Kodi (e.g. server OS, server software, HDHomeRun configuration, etc.). I've got the HDHomeRun Plus / Extend and have not had a lot of luck settings things up.
I tried using TVHeadEnd on an Ubuntu server and Kodi running the TVHeadEnd plug-in. It streams fine only some of the time, but I get frequent crashes, especially when changing channels. In addition, I could not get any PVR functionality to work, nor have I been able to get h.264 transcoding from the HDHomeRun to work.
I then tried using MythTV, but could not get the Kodi MythTV plugin to work -- it would show the stations, but not be able to connect to the streams. (I also had trouble getting the MythTV server configured with the HDHomeRun, but that's not really related to the Fire TV.)
Thanks.

I don't use any PVR's I simply use Homerun TV and watch it via the app (I added shortcut in Kodi) so it's faster to open it.
I have a HDHomerun plus, adding the dlna server source of the HDHomerun to the files under videos is by far the best quality live streams I have gotten.
Regarding PVR with the Hdhomerun plus, I tried the same things. I finally said forget it and got a simple TV for $100 on woot with lifetime sub. It actually works much better than the reviews led me to believe. I access the recordings through plex.

I saw it being offered free not to long ago (lifetime sub)
I'm missing something. I have it installed, but how do I play a stream? When I click on the channel it takes me to a stream diagnostics screen (signal strength, etc.) How do I play it? Thanks!

Here is the trick... you must use "mouse" to point it to play button.
I emailed the DEV and asking him if he can somehow in future make it "play-able" via REMOTE.
Every other part of the app works fine with remote.

Thanks! Well that's why I couldn't get it to work. So plug a mouse into the Fire and I should be good then?

I found out a few days ago that you can adjust the quality stream in the actual HDhomerun view app. When the app is open just keep on pressing the menu button rapidly until the settings comes up then you can select the stream quality.
Also I had a Amazon gift card to burn so I actually bought InstaTV Pro. It comes up as a free app but it is by no means a free app. It cost $10 (which bites) because it has to download codecs. However it works very well.
