Hi All,
Does Xperia Play support DLNA, because I see it as listed in gsmarena but nothing in Google on how to configure and stream via DLNA.
Anyone tried it and use DLNA to stream video / game / photos.
The phone is awesome but lack to HDMI or TV Out means the only option is to stream via DLNA if it supports, can someone confirm.

We have an app called Media Server ("Servidor de Medios" for me) and I believe it let's you play movies/music/images. I haven't tried it once since I stream directly from my PC to my PS3.
But forget about games, it's been discussed a lot that people is disappointed because we can't play our games in a bigger screen.
So yes, we have DLNA but it won't let you stream your screen. It'll let other devices connect to it and play media files on your phone.
Hi netorino,
Thanks for the reply, so we can stream movies and photos is it, that is still good enough.
Where I can try this app, I couldn't find it in the Android market.
I would want to try this and see how it works.

It's pre-installed. I'm not 100% sure on the english name but that should be it.
The way I do it on PC-PS3: Activate software on PC to let streaming. Go on PS3 and look for videos and search for new devices (every time) then it'll show me the hard drive and I'll browse through the folders.
I'm thinking it's the same thing. Open the software on the phone to activate it, it'll probably have some instructions on what to do. Hope it works for you!

You were right, it's just called media server
@maddy- which version of the play do you have?

Mine is Xperia Play R800i, it does not have either "Media Server" installed.
Is it only available in the US versions?
BTW, mine is an Unlocked from UK and running 2.3.4.

Used to be called Media Server (in 2.3.3) but now - for me at least on an unbranded/sim-free UK R800i on 2.3.4 - look for an App installed called Connected Devices
We can also stream to our phones (from say a WD TV Live, or a PC) - use "ES File Explorer" (lan - and search for your WD's IP) and stream via "VPlayer".
I use this method to stream .mkv files from my WD TV Live in my living room via my router to watch movies on my phone in my bedroom - works great .
The only issue I have is that vplayer is not free, and you can't stream via MoboPlayer (I don't think it buffers, it tries to download the whole movie). So if anyone knows any free media player that lets you strem (buffer) .mkv files then let me know.
I you want to stream from your phone to another device there are various free apps you can use; BubbleUPNP, Connected devices (preinstalled), and softMedia player
Thanks
there is a Connected Devices thing, I will give it a try today.
Try this http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...our-images-in-a-big-screen-with-vscreens-com/
but you can only view images and videos..
It is great, but if the TV does not have the WiFi then it wont work fine, but for Laptop and to stream to desktop computers this is great indeed.
Doesn't look like this has been addressed previously, so here goes:
Is there a way to use my Xperia Play as a gamepad for my PC, preferably over BT? I know there are lots of apps that let you use an android for input on a PC, usually for media players or laggy text entry, and there's that one app specifically designed to let you use a phone as a gamepad for a tab, but is there any solution that will let me use the Xplay as an honest to goodness, responsive gamepad for my PC? Touchpads aren't necessary, but would be nice if available.
There's a free app in the market called app.pcon (pc controller) or something but mite be over WiFi instead of Bluetooth. Apart from that you could use either kainy or splashtop which even though will stream the video from pc to play you could use just as an input for pc. Not sure about any Bluetooth ways have a look at droid-mote think that's Bluetooth but to another droid, very much doubt he made a pc app for it
Hope this may help

Is there an app/driver available to make our phone a pc gamepad?
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I couldn't find anything on it.
I want to play some windows games but using the keyboard gets in the way of the fun.
Oh... I should add that I have the app "app.pcon" but haven't been able to do anything with it, as either the devs website is down, or it is blocked in my country, and I cannot get the pc counterpart program.

I was wondering if it would be posible to make my PC play music from a player or streaming site after it detects that I am home. I was thinking it would detect my phone is on my wifi network then start playing music. I tried Google but maybe I am just not using the right keywords.

You can do a lot more than just play music when you get home. Must have app for anyone with root.

I have rooted Kindle Fire's in my classroom (because it was the cheapest way to get devices in the hands of my students!) but at school I cannot download apps from the Google Play Store (Appstore works fine). I used Root Junky's Super Tool and I'm wondering if there's something with how it's running that is causing a security issue with the school's wifi, as I can download the apps at home and I can use the school's wifi to download apps from my phone.
If so, how would I work around this? Since most of the apps I use are from the Play Store and it's really cumbersome to have to bring them home for installs/updates, etc. And now the school is purchasing a ton more and I'm in charge of helping set them up... I don't want to have to bring home 100 devices to update/download apps. Please help!
I rooted them myself but am generally clueless about how things work. I'd appreciate any suggestions!
