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)
I am trying to stream a 163 mb MP3 over A2DP - to my parrot carkit. I am running stock Froyo.
After 10 minutes, the app that streams the mp3 crashes without any notification or error msg.
To rule out the obvious i have tested the following:
* tried several apps: standard streaming media player / winamp / mixzing.
They all crash after aprox 10 minutes without notification
* stream does not crash on "normal" streaming (so it crashes only on A2DP)
* tried 2 bluetooth devices (Parrot mki9000 and Voiis Stereo), on both devices stream crashes.
- i increased the buffersize to rule out buffer problems. Same issue occured.
is there maybe a 10 minute streaming limit for A2DP?
I attached the log of my phone of the time when the stream crashed. From the log, I cannot clearly tell what's going on.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
I'm using poweramp player with A2DP streaming via Bluetooth to my sony carhifi. I also use big/long files and never get a error or fc like u.
Maybe it's the file? Try another kbit/s like 192 or somelike...
But I don't think this is the clue... because I use 320 kbit/s files and it's working for me...

Do you mind sharing the link to the mp3 you are streaming, so i can try if it works for me?
Just for that we don't misunderstand each other (because my English isn't perfect...)
U are playing (big) local mp3 files stored on your SDcard in a player on your phone while connected via Bluetooth to your carkit (A2DP)?
Right?

No, i am streaming an MP3. So the MP3 is on the web.
Oh sorry... I meant streaming from phone local files to car...
In your log file it says "disconnect to pid4860" this is the player. Then it says, that there is a bad keycharmap and then its loading default querty keyboard... strength... do u use any modded keyboard? I don't know if it has anything to do with that, but it's in the log...
Greetz
U connect with mobile network, or over WiFi?

I connect with 3G because the purpose is to listen in my car.
And yes i do use an alternative keyboard, SlideIT.
Mhh... maybe try to uninstall the keyboard...dunno if it has an effect, but u can test
I had issues in older android versions and it helped to deactivate the HFP-profile in the Bluetooth-settings for your parrot device. There are 2 options, just check only the box called like "use audio of phone via BT", not use for call's.

im not sure exactly what its suppose to do i thought it would stream media on my devices to like my laptop or ps3 back and forth and vice versa but its not working or so it seems
has anyone been able to get it to work and know exactly what it is this does? im on a htc trophy
Yes it is to stream media to or from a device..... I have used it a few times to test it out and it works nice with xbmc ..... With windows 7 you can use windows media player click the tab on top stream and make sure media stream with work group is on and you should be good to go..... On connected media you can slide tab and change output to phone ect.....
i cannot find my htc trophy on my ps3 when i search for media servers only my laptop shows on the ps3
when i go to the htc connected app videos show up but no music i can play the movies on the phone but i cant play music or pick up any pictures from the computer on the phone i dont know why
and on the ps3 i cant pick up my htc trophy at all
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
Thanks kotag82 for your help.
It was my Antivir In our last link i readt about that ...
Thank you very much !!!

Hi, I have a Home Server setup that feeds all my media (.avi .mkv .mp3 etc) to all my enabled devices around my home. Now I have a shiny new HoX I am looking for an App that will allow me to remotely connect (while I am away from home) to my server and play what ever media I want. Is there an app that will do this, or a combination of apps ? Thanks in advance
For music subsonic is by far the best solution that I have found. I have heard people have had success with plex as well, so you might want to look into that as well because it supports both music AND videos. Subsonic claims to support movies but I as of yet have not been able to figure out how to get a video to play on the Android client.

Plex. It's the greatest app in the world. Not only can you stream via your home network it allows you to stream over a 2-3MB HSPA connection remotely. To get the most out of it you'll probably have to do some file renaming on the server but it's worth it once you see how your media displays with cover art and descriptions. I use it on my phone, tablet, and all my Google TV's. PlayOn also allows you to access your own media but it's not as sleek as Plex.
Thanks, Ill look into it. If i remember right, my old samsung bluray player had plex in it .....
