[Q] Media player/ DLNA app like Sony Tablet - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi - I've been looking for an app for my phone that will allow me to "throw" media to a DLNA compatible device (TV/ Laptop etc) so that I can control the content being played from my phone..
I've seen the demo of the Sony Tablet app that does this.. but I'm not aware of a generic app that will do the same on my arc? It doesn't have to be a "throw" action.. just want to be able to select a device to play the media on, from the phone..
something slick, if possible!..
Cheers.

I would love to play whatever I have on my cell on my tv. I can play stuff from my sd card. But I can't just play youtube or share what's on my internet. (I have hbo go and would like that to play on my bigs screen) if I get an hdmi cable would it work?

Any way at all?

Is there any way at all to connect the xperia play to a hd TV? (hdmi)? Without adding your own port in. Could you use an app to stream the play screen to another Android device which has hdmi and go from there?
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not even with the streaming idea mentioned above?

That streaming app can only be used for music and pics doestn have the power for video plus theres no real way to do it our device isnt powerful enough the xbound might work because its a gpu on a hdmi connection which you send data to and it does all the work. We are still waiting for the release.

Streaming from my PC to the Note 2

Hello there, I'm wondering if there's a way to stream my multimedia content from my PC to my Note.
I don't really like using Dropbox or other online storage services.
Is there a way to directly stream?
Thanks.

Just share the folder on your network then access it using es file explorer or some other explorer that allows lan file discovery
If you want to actually stream the content, not just make it appear in es explorer and such, look into upnp/dlna.

Tversity always works great. Moboplayer(play store free) will stream if the phone doesnt do it by default.

Try remote media center (play store). You can access your content while on your home wifi and also over the mobile data network. It is used along with remote potato server that you install on your pc. This setup works flawlessly for me.

I believe Plex also allows. Access outside the home does it not? But one would assume that using streaming in that matter outside the home must devour your data.

Xperia play as controller on pc

Hi there!
Sorry if this was asked before. I can't find it
Is it possible to use the xperia play as a controller on the PC? I don't need the XPlay, because I have got a new phone, but I don't want to give my play away. Is there any solution? Via Bluetooth, USB, Wireless?

I have not tried this myself but perhpas if you combine this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nemex.nJoy&feature=search_result
With this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard&hl=nl
You might be able to map the touchscreen locations of the 1rst app to hardware buttons with the 2nd and controll it that way?
PS: To propery use the 2nd app your phone needs to be rooted, not sure about the 1rst app.
Kind regards, Stefan.

This one worked for me. But your phone have to be on the same wifi network as PC.
