[Q] Music stored on Phone, Stream to HTPC Over BT/Wifi

I'm trying to find an app or a way to browse the music that is stored on my phone and then stream it to my htpc (Windows 7) and then play it on my surround.
I have figure out how to browse the music the htpc has on the phone with xbmc remote and gmote but that's not what i want. Bluetooth or Wifi should both be fine.
Also if i would like to stream pictures and videos too, it would be a bonus but not really important right now.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You should be able to pair your phone with the htpc via Bluetooth at which point it should be available as an audio input device. This shouldn't require any third party drivers or anything, have you tried this yet?

Most people do it the other way around, I'm sure it requires third party software

hmmm ok, this is not what i'm looking for.
So here is the lay out:
1. Music on the phone
2. Phone connects to PC, preferably with WiFi but i will take BT if need be
3. PC is connected to Sound System
4. Phone streams music on the pc, sound comes out on the sound system connected on the PC
5. Selection of songs happens on the phone, next, forward, pause etc
6. Monitor on the pc is off the whole time
I also have a PS3 ... so instead of PC it could be that.

That's what's going on with my set up, all it does is play everything your phone speaker would through your computer speakers... right?

My way, it automatically connects to my phone without asking.
I play whatever music I want on my phone and my computer plays the sound
You can try and find third part software but for WiFi they only function as remotes

Yes, that's correct. And you can select tracks on your phone? If that's the case then you saved the day!
I'm having issues with pairing my phone at this point, it says paired but not connected.

Try skifta. its free and steamship through WiFi.

Under the Choose a Media Source i get no media sources found.
EDIT: After i restarted the phone the sources showed up. After i went through the documentation i figured it out! Man, this is awesome thank you so much bullet catchet. Also, thank you superchilpil for your input.

Thanks, see the post above everything is sweeeeet!
Oh and BTW this works with XBMC, Win7 Media player and possibly the PS3 but haven't tried that yet.

Use this app "wifi file transfer" ... i think t may help...
Cheers

Can the 4g touch sync up with a computer?

I was told that the touch can sync up with the computer, share files, get music etc. Not just outlook, but real files. If so, how can you do this?

Can Allshare be used in tge same way, or is it only for media files?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I downloaded Kies and I connected Epic 4G touch through USB and it doesn't recognize it.
It's always "connecting..."
and nothing.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Windows 7 could not find/install a driver either for this phone.

Yes and speaking of AllShare I downloaded it today and installed it on my HTPC and it worked like a charm. I can sit back on the couch and play what ever media I have on my phone on the computer.
I have a HTPC and its connected to my NON Samsung 42 inch 1080P tv. Now my phone cant talk to the tv but it can talk to the PC by having Kies and AllShare installed.
Kies is good to manage the phone via wifi and AllShare is good to play your media on your phone on the NON DLNA supported tv's ( via pc ).
Worked great, played a 1.5 hour movie today and not one skip, hicup or anything using AllShare. Also tested using pictures and music, all worked like a charm.
If you have a DLNA compatable tv from Samsung then you will not need AllShare installed on the pc. The phone will talk directly to the tv.
If you want to "manage" your phone ie sync, copy and move or just do managment type things I would use Kies. If you want to play your media on your tv then use AllShare.

Fyi, if you want to do the traditional usb connection sync, usb debugging in the application development settings must be enabled. Odd, I know, but it is the case.

On xp pro it shows up as a mobile phone and then allows me to open my phone storage or sd card. I didnt downlod kies or keis...however you spell it
My epic just showed up as removeable storage.

You'll need a upnp server on your PC and upnp app on your phone. I use Serviio on my PC and BubbleUPNP + MX Player on my phone.

Use SGS III as 'Mp3 player' via USB?

I thought we should be able to have our SGS III's show up as a media or mp2 player. It seems no matter what USB device I plug into, it is not recognized as a media player.
In particular, I have tried in the USB of cars: a Lexus, and a Mercedes. I have also recent purchased a Pioneer BT Car radio for my old '56, and it too does not recognize it.
Do I need to have my music in a particular folder or something? Any ideas?

Dunno about you, but mine does. The icon looks like a mp3 player with headphones in explorer on windows 7.

Have you tried to open media player with it plugged in ?
I run mine through Bluetooth on a Highlander but haven't tried connecting it to a USB device too stream media.

I don't know that Windows is a problem. Don't use it through Windows (same music already available on the PC). But never has worked for me on any device such as listed in the OP.

Confirmed. I tried with the media player open, still no go.
I have my music in a folder on my external SD. I don't recall what the regular folder on the internal SD is. Was wondering if I had music there if it may work.

App to control music on pc

Several phones ago I had an app to control the music playing in my pc and can't remember what it was. I have my pc hooked to my Sony surround sound system which has its own wireless radio that stands from the base. I want to be able to have the wireless outside and be able to listen to my music. Any suggestions on an app?

okay so you are trying to control your PC or your radio if your trying yo controll you pc- like itunes - there an remote for itunes app you can purchase, if you trying to control the radio ive never personally seen that done

Control my pc's music player. I have it hooked to the radio and can stream it outside. Just need a way to control the music inside.

If your using iTunes use the app I told you other wise the next best option is a remote desktop client

WinAmp had this feature with the phone app and installed on the PC obviously. Haven't had it in quite awhile though so I'm not sire if it still works.
