I don't know if this has been posted yet. I had searched and didn't find anything.
I am trying to stream movies from my PC with windows 7 to the 3D. Every time I search for media devices, it says no devices found. I think I have everything set up on the computer right but it still won't connect.
Thanks in advance!

I thought you can only stream from your phone to PC and not the other way round.
when i'm at home, i just use cifs manager to mount my windows shared folders.
this allows me to play (stream) the videos via wifi as if they were on my sd card
Try to use SimpleSync or Skifta. they seem to work
Make sure that media sharing is on on your computer

PC-> Evo streaming
This isn't exclusive to the evo but Plex is an application that can do it. Just install the computer and android version. After it catalogs your desired folders or entire hard drive it will stream it.
Awesome! Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate all the helpful responses!
Now, are there any apps that will allow me to stream movies from my PC at home to my phone at work? Both are connected to wifi.

You could try Orb. Not sure what quality you'd get, not used it for a few years but if memory serves me right it transcodes on the fly to flash format so you can watch movies on your phone via a flash enabled browser. I used it for a bit on a wii before homebrewing it.

Would this allow 3d movies to be steamed? That is really the only thing I would want to steam and I have a ton of them. Way too many to put on my 32GB sd card. I have already filled twice and had to delete a bunch of stuff.

Yeah, I know what you mean about not enough space on a 32gb SD
Thinking about buying one of those 64gb cards.
Tbh I've not tried tversity with this phone yet, but i believe it transcodes to flash, so might work seeing as we can view 3D YouTube vids *shrug*

I was curious to find out how the hdmi works with our phones so when I went to the sprint store the get my defender case swapped out for a commuter case, I asked about it. Basically DLNA(Digital Living Network Alliance) allows for a person to easily share their videos, music, and photos. I never knew our phones had this feature, so I download the "Double Twist" player app(its free) and "Air Sync" (its not free, you can figure out which way you want to get it) and when you open double twist, go to settings>air twist & air play and check the box next to it. Now if you have an internet cable tv, xbox 360, or ps3, you can stream and mirror your movies on their with NOOOO LAG!!!!!! You can also view your pics and stream your music as well. I love this feature. I thought I'd share.
Doesn't the phones "Media Share" application do the same thing?
Or are these programs better than that?

However, as of right now we are limited to formats that the hardware support. Hopefully RockPlayer or Vplayer will include this ability so that any movie format can be streamed.
Is it possible to mirror what is on the device using DLNA and Media Share? If so, how can it be done?

It's just a preference. With double twist you use it as a media player also on the go. Being able to share media is a big plus and that's what matters.
Sorry if I was unclear. What I mean by "what's on the device" is complete mirroring. (being able to see everything that is being done on the device)
I would like to be able to do that over some sort of wireless connection to my TV.

The EVO3D does do full mirroring.
Maybe not over DLNA but it does over HDMI.

Really?!?! You just made my day.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
DLNA doesn't give mirroring. Think of it more like turning your phone into a media server. It doesn't play the media on the server, but rather is just a host so your other devices can stream the media to them.
I've used DLNA already quite a bit through my ASUS O!Play HD2. There is a little bit of delay in starting the media, but everything streams smooth once it starts.
Anyone know how to do this with a Samsung TV with All Share? I spent some time last night but couldn't get it to work. My TV can't see my phone and vice versa. But my laptop can see my phone and play its content.
Anyone know if this is possible using a Wii?

Yes, I had a Samsung led 3D, swapped it for an LG passive 3D. Go into the media share app while connected to WiFi and check the box to share your media. Check music, pics, and videos. Now go to "set shared folders" and pick the folders off your EVO 3D you want to share. While on all share on the t.v. while connected to.the same network it will find your phone. If not, don't use the all share app on t.v. just go to the media play app and it will be there. Or. On phone go to connected devices app, choose the media you want to share and then your t.v. and it will play if its supported content.

Look for a media server option on your wii. Or a share media option. I dont have a wii so im just guessing.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
Thats pretty nifty. Hooked it up to my sammy led and it works really well.
I understand the "Connected Media" app lets you play video from your phone to DLNA-compatible devices. I also learned that the Xbox 360 should be DLAN compatible.
I spent some time fiddling with it but I couldn't get Connected Media to show my Xbox -or- get my phone to show up on the xbox. I'm a little unclear on how this is supposed to work. Has anyone done this? Would you mind giving me a step by step? Is there something I need to enable on the xbox end or something else I may have missed?
Thanks
Use the media share app, not connectededoa app. I use it on my xbox everyday. Both phone and xbox.must be connected to same network. On media share app, check the share button then select which folders from your SD card to share on your xbox. It will work, if not, must be some firewall issues on your home network.

Just take your EVO3D, plug it up through usb, select disk drive from the notification bar then you could listen to music & watch videos without any app.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
Thank you both for your suggestions - the media share app works great and I'll try out the USB share thing.
One thing, the media share app doesn't show all the directories (such as DCIM) as available to share. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi,
My eve 3d can detect my TV just fine but i can't seem to get it to find the xbox360. Is there anything that i need to do on the 360 to enable DLNA besides being on the same wifi? The media share app you're talking about is IMS correct?
Thank you
I have the same issue. My phone finds my Sony Bravia TV and can send media to it, but does not find my PS3. I used the media server. Worked wonderfully. Although I'm sure with some quick searching I could find the answer. Just wanted to say I experience the same thing.

my Galaxy S II without a networked Blu-ray player?
I have
1. Legitimate copy of the movie
2. The activation code
3. A Blu-ray drive in my computer to access the files which seem is a 1.3GB .dc file
4. The Pocketblu app on my SGS2
My PS3 is jailbroke so I will not network it and my laptop runs Linux only so no actual proper Blu-ray playback software.
google blue ray video converter, then convert it to a suitable format for your device. eg - divx.
thats it

I can't even do that yet since the new version of BD+ used on the disc has not been broke yet. Which sucks since I wanted to copy the movie to my HTPC running XBMC, since I can't stand sitting through the opening warnings and Fox logos.
I can only get the digital copy to play on my computer. Won't play on my Infuse. I'll give my ipad a try tomorrow.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't the purpose of including a "Digital" copy of the movie to be able to play it on the computer and portable devices?
ok so i was wondering if there is a way for my rooted galaxy s2 to be picked up in itunes???? or if i can build playlist on my computer and have the saved playlist show up already as a playlist on my phone??? (hope that makes sense..) i am getting annoyed of building and naming them on my phone.
thanks.
Nope. You can thank apple for that. Nearly everything Google has done works with Mac products in one way or another. Nearly nothing from apple works with anything else.

You can use Songbird on your computer as a replacement for iTunes. Install Device addon to specify what formats your phone supports and to where to sync (in MSC mode). Then create playlists in it and sync with your device. Another option is Winamp but it wasn't good for me.
Edit: You can even use WMP if phone is connected in MTP mode, but WMP has limited format support.
Or if you want to use iTunes, use something like iSyncr.
thanks guys imma give this a try later today.
ok so double twist is what i need and anyone else who wants to transfer there playlist and not have to rebuild them manually on their handset. you can download it here for your computer.
http://doubletwist.com/
and download the player in the market (free) and works great so far.

Okay, so as i learn my new Evo3D, I came across the ability to stream music from my laptop (wireless) and thats just awesome however I was wondering if there is a way to stream videos from my laptop to my phone. I have a bunch of DVD's on my laptop, and think it be great to stream them over to the phone.
What would i need on my phone in order to play them? Im sure I would have to convert them down (no biggy), but on the phone side how would i get them to play? If all i need is that Watch app, then im SOL, cause i removed that by accident.
I am not rooted, and sorry no plans to either.
Thank in advance for any help
Search for zumocast in this forum or on the market mate. It works well for video apart from 3d ones.

Thanks, the zumocast isnt compatible with the Evo 3d, Im reading up on the Plex, and I also came across QLoud. Videos on my laptop are DivX, AVI so im looking at the apps that will either play them, or convert on the fly.

Thanks everyone.
The VLC, is a little over top my head, with the set up.
GREAT NEWS though...
I got Zumocast to work just fine, thank you very much Bebida
Now if i could just get the Watch app reinstalled after i removed it for no reason, id be very happy.

You can stream medias from PC to phone with Connected media. No need to install other apps..
How about PSM(playstation3 media server) it is a DNLA server, there's one for win/mac/linux, it is pretty much a 1-2-3 setting it up, it streams and if need it mux on the fly, so if lets say the evo doesnt play nice with "example" ACC it will mux the audio to mp3 codec on the fly(cpu heavy on pc). On the evo dont have to download anything, just go to the gallery and there's a lil arrow on top right corner, hit it and navigate to Media Server, and you will see PS3 Media Server, and... bOOM! you get your list of media(you configure the folders on the psm [email protected] side), Google PS3 Media server....pretty easy! been using it to stream all my media to all my DNLA devices!
Edit: If you use Handbrake to add some line-tag to the 3d videos(if you have any), the PSM will stream 3D and your Evo WILL play it on 3D mode automatically with the stock player!! no need to download any apks on the phone, just PSM and Handbrake. Been using that with ubuntu/windows7 flawlessly. (nocturnal 2.5.2 - chad's kernel(new#2) )
