[Q] Runnymede 5.1.1 Sense Mediaserver question - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to use my Desire in Win7 network to stream music and pictures from the PC.
I know about ES File Explorer on the Networkrelease of Win7, but I would like to know whether you can access through the existing media server from Sense?
I didnt find Informations about the Mediserver from Sense what i can do with it.

stock music player can do it...I'm using that to stream my music from laptops... Running same AIO as you have

I search for howto`to enable Win7 streaming, but my HTC Desire search with Stock Music Player for Server but can`t find my Win7.
Streaming to other PC in the Network is ok, but in the local Network streaming list i didnt find my Desire only other PC`s in my Network, what i do wrong ?

I'm running Vista... Did you check WMP settings to allow to share music?

I do http://windows.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows7/Getting-started-with-media-streaming
Streaming Works with my Sisters Laptop in my local Netwok ...
I use Win7 64Bit Home version.

Did you setup permision for sharing more info see here

Sharing .mp3 or movie via home network

Hi, i use VM Net Browser to see files into my PC, and i'd like to play musics or movies from PC into my HD. But when i start the playing music, so the music is very often stopping .
musis 128KBPS
wifi WLAN g support at HD and on wifi router as well.
Do someOne know how to play music or movie without stopping effect??

If you want to stream MP3/Video/Pictures/TV from a PC to Mobile then Orb is great. Works over the internet (and HSPDA if your network supports it) while automatically transcoding your files to an appropriate bitrate depending on your connection speed.

You have the same problem like anyone else with the Touch HD.
Most people just dont realize it. I started a topic about this, but got no help with that.

[Q] Sorry this video cannot be played

I'm not sure how much people have tried this out yet, but has anyone managed to successfully play videos via dlna (connected media tab in galleries)
eg. i can play an avi file perfectly locally on the device.
but everytime i try to stream it via windows media server/orb media server, i get the message 'Sorry this video cannot be played'
anyone else?
maybe something htc needs to fix?
Tried resetting your router? Maybe thats it.
I tried this and had mixed results: Tversity on win 7 would serve up the videos but none would play. Normal shared folder would let me play .mp4 but not .avi
Ooer!

I am trying to figure out how to enable a 2nd player in the unit, on first run it pops up and asks me which player to use, but only the supplied mplayer is available, if i could get it to see say rockplayer, then these issues would go away

I agree, I'm feeling this is another bug, mainly because the local video playback using htc video player (or whatever its called) is intermittently useless. sometimes it works, sometimes it plays the first five seconds and stops, sometimes not at all. All on the same video at different times.
vplayer works fine though..
also it seems unlikely that resetting the router will help, as airvideo via my iphone works fine, but i will try later on when at home again.
Haven't tried this yet, but have you checked that you have all the right codecs installed on your pc? I know windows media player has a hard time with certain codec's and file types where as vlc player doesn't, yet i don't know how this would sit when streaming video.

I think this is an issue with playback of videos on the phone, not on the computer...
If the file plays back fine on the computer, then it's not gonna be a codec problem (from the computer's side anyway).
Having this problem too. Is someone going to contact HTC?

I have very similar results. Using Windows 7's Media Player Streamer I can browse all my videos , music and photos , but none of these can be played (the server works ok,'coz I still can play videos and other media from other PC). I've some better results with XBMC's media stream (UPNP server) the photos works fine, but still can't play other media.
I can't manage to open the DHD's video, audio or images using DLNA connection.
At the beginning I think that the problem is with codecs, but since this media is opened with no problem once it copied on the phone I'm sure there is a problem with the player playing content over UPNP connection.
I had that kind of issues with an old ubuntu install, but all was fixed when installed VLC Player, so I hope someone can make a good port of VLC to android.
I've managed to playback mp3s and looked at pictures stored on my computer via my phone, so that part is OK, but videos are a no-go, which is a shame.
Very simple answer to this people.
The Desire HD and Z does not support "Play To" Receiver
Because of this AVI wont work.
Just check DLNA's website.
Compare it to bluetooth,
Both are very sensitive to compatibility and such
Never mind...

Well that's just stopped me buying the HTC Media Link, like htcsense.com they big this up in their adverts and then can't deliver.
Avi seems not to work, but I've managed to stream to my phone .mp4 files.

some avi files have actually started playing. most stop within a few seconds though.. if it can do this, why not the whole video?
Also i did check DLNAs website, and they've actually certified the Desire HD as a M-DMP device. I know they've only tested it with images (according to the certificate) however the description of a M-DMP device is:
These wireless devices find and play content on a digital media server (DMS) or mobile digital media server (M-DMS).
Examples: mobile phones and mobile media tablets designed for viewing multimedia content.
So it must be a HTC bug? (based on the fact that it DOES play the start of some files and that it is M-DMP certified..)
EDIT: well it must be a codec thing.. rockplayer plays all these files fine.. even locally the 'Videos/gallery' app can't play them all. Maybe HTC should use ffmpeg like rockplayer.. then it might just work
I spend many hours trying to figure this out , all but streaming video don't work ..any suggestions ?
Me too, but if only

Me too, but if only there was a way of making vplayer (since that plays everything so far) the default player when a video is clicked on from the connected media view
Same problem here.
1. Connected Home on Samsung Omnia 2(Win6.1/6.5) works
2. Doest work on Samsumg Galaxy Tab (froyo 2.2)
3. Doesnt work on Desire HD (pic, music, video)
So can I assume its something to do with Android?
same problems here with the HTC Media Link. far too many video files play ok on my htc desire from win7 pc using Skifta.
i've been attempting to find successful filetype/bitrate settings through freemake video converter (which allows hard-coding of subtitles) with little success when pushing to the media link.
Q. does anyone know a guaranteed filetype, bitrate, size which works through media link?
Q. are there any XDA devs working on a rom to fix this thing? excellent hardware in need of a little homebrew tweak if ever there was
It works fine on my DHD with Sabsa Prime V16 no issues at all. (Audio /Video/ Photos)

[Q] Network music

I have just ripped all my music to a second (non system) drive in my PC.
I have set all the PC's in the house to access it over the network.
Can I set my Desire (Bravo) up to see the music files also?

You could try this program, this should do what you want.

Can I not VNC in some way?

[Q] Windows Networking and UPNP rendering

Yes, this is not a Desire-specific question, but the greatest minds are all gathered in this forum, so...
I have a USB hard drive connected to my AVM Fritz Box, acting as a UPNP media server. I can access it with my Desire using any free UPNP player in the market I've tried so far, like 2player. I can also access it using the Windows Media Player on my computer running Win7 x64.
What I would actually like: Use my Android Desire to control the WMP on my computer. Theoretically this should be possible. I've activated all streaming and remote control options on the computer I could find, but 2player (and the expensive PlugPlayer) don't find the WMP, neither as Renderer nor as Server.
Any hints?
Thanks a lot!

[Q] media server

Im always download a movie on my computer
and watch on my phone streaming from the computer via htc media server app.
After i update my phone to v1.28 it seems the htc media server dont recognized a video file on my computer anymore.
It recognized only the music file.
have u guys also a problem with htc media server?
I have this issue as well, worked fine on my Senastion running ICS - Sense 3.6. I think it is a bug in the software.
Download bubbleupnp. U can even set it up to watch ur videos using mobile internet, or even another WiFi to which your media server on. Used with mx player it can play almost all files.
Very good app, I stream music and videos off my home media server when I'm in work 20 miles down the road.
