Interesting.... i own a Mozart 7 and was using a Sony ericsson K810i before. Today i wanted to try a new update with the SE K810i and launched its pc server (Media Go). At the same time i connected my WP7 to zune as well.
When i connected both, they all showed up on Media go's directory sort of like a file explorer system. I could access what's on my HTC Mozart 7's content (music and picture) with the sony ericsson pc server like a usb device.
As i know, thats currently not possible, file exploring on WP7 isnt suppose to be avaliable yet.
Is this unusual?
There are hacks to enable file system access on WP7 phones. Will try the Media Go thing later today. Would be fantastic if this works.

First of all thank you guys for such a great apps environment you created for our lazy WM platform.
Second of all I hope I am posting my request in the right place. Could someone start developing an application similar in functions with AirVideo for iphone. Its a basic app with a server(PC) - client(device) side that allows you to play on the phone any video stored on the PC (and any other storage media connected to the PC) without having to actually transfer the video on the device itself.
For more info please check : http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
It would be amazing if someone could achieve this. I would gladlly pay for such an app as I oftenly like to review my video courses I have stored on my PC from the convenience of my phone.
PS: I gave up the iphone platform 6 months ago and I am so much happier with my HD2.

Try orb. i use it on my HD2 and it works great. There's no need for a client app either! Just a browser (built in IE will do).
10x for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this software.
Does it provide access to my content through my wireless router (under a local connection - PC and phone using the same WIFI) or do I have to stream everything through my broadband and their online servers?
All you need for airvideo is that the phone and the pc are connected to the same WIFI. All the streaming is done using the local connection which is good for privacy and there is also the option to convert a video file on the fly.
This sort of functionality I would like on the windows mobile platform if a developer would like to give it a go.

Orb basically turns your PC into a media server. You just use whatever means you want to connect to your PC. I have a use one of those services that gives your PC a name, and I just connect to it via that, so I can do it via my internet connection if I want to, or connect via wifi and use the local IP address (192.168.x.x) to connect that way, but I don't tend to do that much, as I'm obviously in range of my PC if I'm in range of the router
Orb gives you access to specified folders on your PC, and all the media within them. It does images, video and music, so it really is a great addition to any device.
This is somewhat expected as its a natural, but its still very cool.

Microsoft should release something similar for Windows 7.
hm nice, im goin to try it with 30 day trial server in a vm
Seems very nice. I'll try it when I get back
might have play with it when I get some spare time
Using it for a while now. It is ok for checking on backups and client pcs. However, streaming may strongly vary. Mine is very slow. I really hope that they enable connection to the server over Lan. I am using xbmc for this right now as there is a wp7 app for that (works as remote control as well).

WP7 connector
I have been using this for a few weeks now (I started with the Beta).
It is a neat tool, and will work on a couple of other versions of Windows server.
Easy to check on alerts and manage user accounts.
I have tried the streaming of both video and music seams to work quite well IMHO.
So I have a Dell Venue Pro running WP7.5 and I'm also a Mac user running on Lion 10.7.3. I noticed that whenever I try to "sync" my MP3s from iTunes using Windows Phone 7 connector for Mac I can no longer download MP3s and podcasts from Marketplace.
Is this just me or is this a bug? And does anyone have the same experience? I tried looking a similar thread but the closest I got was someone who cannot sync mp3s from iTunes.

How would itunes do it without mass storage access ? I didn't know it was possible.
Well, the Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac has the ability to sync music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts from existing iTunes library to your WP7 device. The only problem is that (at least for me) once I sync music or podcasts (haven't tried movies and tv shows) I cannot download music and podcasts from marketplace...
Can anybody attach or point direct link to DMG file of WP7 connector? I hate that AppStore not letting me to download it, getting stupid error "can't verify your computer...". I can't find anywhere this file.
I don't have a link to the DMG file since it is mostly available in the Mac App Store for free, but I do have the file and I can package it for you in a DMG file if you want one. You just have to change the .MAS Receipt file with your own.
Hi guys,
When I connect the Xperia ZL to my Windows 7 64bit PC (WiFi), the Walkman app on the phone let me browse the folder on the PC, so I choose a song, mp3 and if I choose the Computer as output, the computer start to play the song. If I choose the phone as output, the vinyl animation still rotating and to finally show "can't play the file". Same thing if I choose to download the file on the phone.
Can we stream our mp3 to the phone via WiFi ? Do I miss something somewhere ?
And it was one out of five that the phone can connect to the PC the first time without to plug the usb cable to pairing them.
Or do you guys have a better solution to have my phone on me in the house, having my little Jawbone Jambox speaker near me and have access to the music on the PC ??
Thank you for trying to help.

p.s I forgot to write that the Sony PC Companion is open and show that the Xperia ZL 6506 is well connected on the PC.
update
just an update, my second computer in the basement is a Windows 8 64bit Enterprise Edition and even if it was on the Windows Network (the one with the weird password) I have to configure what to share on the network and also tell which device is allowed to be part of the sharing.
So, after allowed and configure the Network Shared things in Windows 8, I can now browse with the Sony Xperia ZL Walkman Application the content of the music on that computer and PLAY the songs !!! Just great !! And i just tried the video and YES, I can play my whole XXX video collection in hd directly on the Xperia ZL screen !!
Think the little device is coming with us in the bedroom tonite

Dear all,
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y750 with windows 7. I tried to send music from my Sony Xperia ZL using the Throw feature. But the phone says "could not connect to the device". Both Laptop and smartphone are on the same wireless network. I followed the instruction here http://tech2.in.com/how-to/lifestyle/how-to-set-up-dlna-on-your-devices/294842/1#story and after pressing the Start button and then typing Media streaming options my phone is not on the list of devices.Any clue which is the problem here?
thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. I ll try them out. But do you guys have any idea of what is wrong with the "throw"feature? That is by far more convenient, I just click throw on my phone and I can instantaneously see videos, listen music or see pictures on my pc. No need to install app on the phone (moreover you have to install something on the laptop). Moreover you can also throw to a wifi TV. It is written on the Sony website that the laptop has to be DLNA compliant. How can I check that on my laptop? It is a pretty recent laptop with windows 7, I thought it should be DLNA.
Laptops are pretty hard to setup for DLNA actually throw feature is used for. DLNA certified products like music system, bluray players...etc etc..so fr laptop better use some app they work juat fine
