[Q] DLNA Functionality - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Anyone tried DLNA functions (media streaming and servers) using stock HTC sense connected media app and with windows 7 media player on android revolution HD 2.0.10 ROM ?
I can't remember the last time it worked for me whether it was with the stock HTC or this rom i have now (Android Revolution HD 2.0.10 costum ROM) ? but today i cant seem to get it to work using 2 different PCs though .
would really appreciate some feedback about this
cheers.

Yeah I got it working in a matter of seconds. In my W7 machine I enabled sharing of my WMP library and I could connect to it from the DHD without any problems. This is was on stock 1.32 and LeeDroid 1.5.1 that I tested.

[Q] AndTV

Hi,
Does anyone have AndTV working. Do you have some simple setup instructions.
I could'nt find anything on Youtube.
I am running VideoLAN 1.1.5 and AndTV 0.3.1.
Does it work well, i.e. is the streaming back to the phone work ok ?
Is VLC Stream & Convert Pro better ?

DLNA Support

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".

[Q] sreaming via tvcatchup

Hi guys has anyone had trouble streaming? For me specifically via m.tvcatchup.com? Even on low quality option I get loading video every two mins and sometimes 'sorry this video cannot be played'. I have been using wifi as I do not have unlimited internet data.

can you try to stream video on other sites (facebook, google, myspace etc)
Via facebook videos play fine. Oh just to give more information the router is in my room and I get full signal. Downstairs my signal is weak but on other devices even on my desire hd I had full signal

I dont think you have problem with phone.
You said that youtube, facebook videos load with no problem.
I think you got some big PING or Lag with :/
Try to open on to your pc...start > run > cmd > ping m.tvcatchup.com
ive just tried pinging
it all seems normal...packets are sent and received
i think that is some problem with mobile site of that tvcatchup...
Because all other sites work properly :/

I am running ARHD 7.03 ROM on my HTC Desire HD (with nosense patch) and also finding problems ...
The display is all distorted when running the standard inbuild HTC Stream Player v1.5
If I install the ARHD 6.32 ROM it all works fine and very smooth indeed
This uses HTC Stream Player v1.0
I have tried to install Stream Player v1.0 over the top of ARHD 7.03 but this still does not work ...
Unfortunately I am new here and still not 'worthy' enough to post a comment in the ARHD developers thread
Has anyone any idea why the display would be distorted for me and if there's a fix or a HTCStreamPlayer.apk I could patch over it to get it working

We'd love to help you out mate but tiny problem. You're in the SE Xperia arc forum and not the HTC Desire HD forum.
Plus we don't have that ROM for our arc. So even if we want to help, we're pretty clueless.

Should video out via HTC cable work on CM9?

Bought the HTC micro USB to RCA cable so we could connect to RCA inputs on rear entertainment system in 2912 Honda Pilot. Burned three of the kids' movies and converted to AVI but no audio or video is going to vehicle system. Made sure I had vehicle source set to aux video input and the movie plays fine on Inc using MX Player.
Any ideas? Using latest CM9 from Drk.HD. Do I need to go back to stock software from HTC? Anyone successfully using TV/video out capability of Inc with a custom rom?

I don't know about custom Sense ROMs, but TV-OUT doesn't work on any AOSP ROMs (which includes CM9/AOKP/CM7, among others).
Thanks.
Can anyone recommend a sense rom that has confirmed functioning TV out for the DInc?

Anything based on stock firmware, ie sense 1.0 roms that are not ported from evo, should have full functionality. Some examples are mcsense, stock plus, touch of blue. Other roms that have sense 2.0 or higher may work but only the stock HTC sense 1 firmware and roms based on it are guaranteed to work.

Stuttery Netflix streaming

Hi there
I use the Netflix app on my HOX to stream TV and movies and find that the playback is very s-s-s-tuttery/jumpy despite being on a 30Mb WiFi connection (indeed, the same WiFi I use to stream to my XBox which works great).
Therefore, is this an issue that the HOX is just not powerful enough to stream movies smoothly? Does anyone else use Netflix on their HOX? I don't own any other handheld devices to compare to but I do find this hard to believe given it works on iPhones with lesser hardware.
For reference, I am using ARHD 33.1 on stock kernel - i.e. a pretty standard Sense 5 & 4.2.2 set up.
Thanks
James
I'm running a HOX+ and see the exact same problem, running a very solid Wi-Fi connection with 16Mb broadband. It's pretty much unusable, very frustrating in use.
Phone is completely stock Sense & 4.2.2.
i've used netflix on sense (stock), rev HD, venom as well as CM 10.2,10.3 and 11 using ART and delvik and have had no issues with play back.
OK thanks. At least it's good to know it's possible to have it working smoothly on the HOX. I will experiment with some custom kernels perhaps.
FYI, I installed Lyapota's kernel and I have just watched a whole episode of Breaking Bad stutter-free. Might just have done the trick.
