My new #1 App - Twonky DLNA Server for Android

[tdog7879]

im confused??? i got it to pick up on my ps3 but it will not play any of my vids. Also how do i get it to pick up on my laptop????
Thanks

Unfortunately, the PS3 won't decode .3g format videos. The PS3 will play videos from your phone in other formats such as MP4, VOB, etc... My WD TV Live Media Server will play the .3g files.

If your PC is Vista or Windows 7, you will see the phone in WMP11 as a media server or in Windows Explorer under Network Devices - Media Servers.

You can also access the phone from any browser on your network by entering the URL: http://<IP_of_your_phone>:9000. This will give you a web interface to the phone in which you can adjust settings as well as access your media.

Thanks for the info!!! where can i find the IP address for my phone??:icon_eek: Also when i get the vids to play off my PC then i can just run my HDMI from pc to TV??? to see the videos...

The IP on your phone can be found at: Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi Settings > then select the Wireless AP that you are connected...the IP will display.

...and yes, if you can view your PC on your TV via HDMI, what you see on your PC from your phone will also display on your TV.

Thanks for all the help. I got it running. I can't seem to copy pictures from my WM11 but other than that it work perfect.

The video on the Droid is in .3gp format. My PS3 does not have a codec for .3gp. My guess is that neither does Xbox360. My WD TV Live plays .3gp formats just fine.

Some won't see the value of displaying the pics and videos taken on your Droid on your TV or your friends PC with a couple of clicks of the remote. ...others will. ...lol

The name, too, can be configured via the web interface. Again, any webbrowser can access the server on the same network though port 9000. I was able to stream a movie to my roommates mac using the webaddress of the movie and VLC on his computer. Very cool stuff.

Hi Droidman, can you post an example URL for a movie streaming from Twonky Mobile Server to a PC/Mac?

This is what I am entering as a stream URL in VLC with no luck.192.168.0.177:9000/www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqTXG1pkcY0
Thanks,
Adil

WOW.... This sounds like a cool application! Can anyone confirm if videos will work with the XBox 360?

By the way... I'm a newbie on the forums... I recently replaced my Treo650 with a Droid. I'm a LONG time Palm user, way back from when they were called Handspring, then 3Com, then eventually Palm! I'm not regretting passing up the Pre to try out the Droid! I love it so far!)

Still trying to figure out how to get it to work on my PS3 though....
