[Q] Xperia Streaming mp3 from pc - Sony Xperia ZL

Hi guys,
When I connect the Xperia ZL to my Windows 7 64bit PC (WiFi), the Walkman app on the phone let me browse the folder on the PC, so I choose a song, mp3 and if I choose the Computer as output, the computer start to play the song. If I choose the phone as output, the vinyl animation still rotating and to finally show "can't play the file". Same thing if I choose to download the file on the phone.
Can we stream our mp3 to the phone via WiFi ? Do I miss something somewhere ?
And it was one out of five that the phone can connect to the PC the first time without to plug the usb cable to pairing them.
Or do you guys have a better solution to have my phone on me in the house, having my little Jawbone Jambox speaker near me and have access to the music on the PC ??
Thank you for trying to help.

p.s I forgot to write that the Sony PC Companion is open and show that the Xperia ZL 6506 is well connected on the PC.

update
just an update, my second computer in the basement is a Windows 8 64bit Enterprise Edition and even if it was on the Windows Network (the one with the weird password) I have to configure what to share on the network and also tell which device is allowed to be part of the sharing.
So, after allowed and configure the Network Shared things in Windows 8, I can now browse with the Sony Xperia ZL Walkman Application the content of the music on that computer and PLAY the songs !!! Just great !! And i just tried the video and YES, I can play my whole XXX video collection in hd directly on the Xperia ZL screen !!
Think the little device is coming with us in the bedroom tonite

WP7 connected to Sony ericsson PC server

Interesting.... i own a Mozart 7 and was using a Sony ericsson K810i before. Today i wanted to try a new update with the SE K810i and launched its pc server (Media Go). At the same time i connected my WP7 to zune as well.
When i connected both, they all showed up on Media go's directory sort of like a file explorer system. I could access what's on my HTC Mozart 7's content (music and picture) with the sony ericsson pc server like a usb device.
As i know, thats currently not possible, file exploring on WP7 isnt suppose to be avaliable yet.
Is this unusual?
There are hacks to enable file system access on WP7 phones. Will try the Media Go thing later today. Would be fantastic if this works.

[Q] DLNA in Xperia Play

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

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.

My Windows 8 PC does not see my Sony Smart Headset Wireless Pro. Any advice welcomed!

Hi everyone!
My Windows 8 PC does not see my Sony Smart Headset Wireless Pro that I use with my Xperia T..... I recently upgraded from Windows 7..
I have re-installed the firmware for the headset and tried connecting it with the usb cable with the headset switched off and also with the headset switched on..
I have also rebooted the PC..
I was hoping to transfer music using Sony PC Companion. I do know that I can just use a card read and transfer from the PC that way, but I get the feeling that PC Companion would convert my iTunes files to MP3's.
Any advice welcomed.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ll try them out. But do you guys have any idea of what is wrong with the "throw"feature? That is by far more convenient, I just click throw on my phone and I can instantaneously see videos, listen music or see pictures on my pc. No need to install app on the phone (moreover you have to install something on the laptop). Moreover you can also throw to a wifi TV. It is written on the Sony website that the laptop has to be DLNA compliant. How can I check that on my laptop? It is a pretty recent laptop with windows 7, I thought it should be DLNA.
Laptops are pretty hard to setup for DLNA actually throw feature is used for. DLNA certified products like music system, bluray players...etc etc..so fr laptop better use some app they work juat fine

Transfer data wirelessly?

Hello, When i had the Xperia Z3, i could transfer data via red/wifi, but with the Xperia Z5P i only can transfer things via usb..
I know there is the DLNA but thats sucks, recognizes the device as Windows media player, instead, with the z3 the pc recognized it as disk drive and was amazing.
So anyone know how to connect the z5p as disk drive?
Try apps like shareit. Files can then be sent through WiFi.
