Does anyone know if the HTC Evo 4G LTE can stream to any DLNA receivers or is it just the one produced by HTC? I have a WD Live that supports DLNA. Is that going to work? Thanks guys! Here's to my first Android forums post! (I had to move on from WebOS)
I've connected mine to my PS3's DLNA client. I'll provide instructions here since I had trouble figuring it out.
To connect your HTC Evo 4G LTE to a PS3 via DLNA, start Media Share on your Evo, and select the files that you want shared in the button near the bottom of the Media Share app screen. I haven't looked into it, but I think that the PS3 has trouble looking at files outside of the Music, Photo, and Video folders -- similar to when you connect a USB hard drive -- so you won't need to click many of the options. For instance, I had mp3 files in the amazonmp3 folder that displayed as empty on the PS3, but when I used AirDroid to move them into my music folder, they displayed just fine. I assume that the other folders work the same way, I just didn't have a need to share images or videos since I was trying to play my phone's music over my home stereo system via my PS3.
Anyway, once you turn on Media Share on your phone, go to the PS3 network settings (both your PS3 and the Evo need to be on your wireless network). Click on the custom workflow in the network settings option, and turn on your wireless if it isn't already on. I'd also disable the UPnP option.
Next, find the option in the PS3 Settings XMP for enabling media servers -- and make sure that it is enabled. (This isn't the Remote Connection option for PSPs, etc.)
Next, use the XMB to navigate to the Photos, Videos, or Music option, and you should see the option to search for media servers. Click on that and your PS3 will then search for available media servers on the same network. Once it finds it, go back to the XMB for Music, Videos, or Photos and you should see "HTC Media Share" as an available source. Click on that and view your phone's media contents (the folders that you enabled inside of the HTC Media Share app).
Hope this helps.
