How to stream content from my PC to the Experia Z tablet?

Just picked up the tablet today and I'm trying to figure out if I can stream content (music or movies) from my PC to the Tablet..
I enabled media sharing in the settings but it's not detecting my Media servers like Windows media server or PS3 Media server.  Any help would be appreciated. 

There are other applications such as ES File explorer that would allow you not just stream media content but browse all files including pdf's etc.

  • How to stream content from Mac or Ipad to ATV  Gen 1

    I have an unlocked ATV Gen 1 ( just bought 2nd hand ) and I want to stream content from either my MacBookAir or my ( Jailbroken ) Ipad 2 to the ATV which is connected to my nice big TV.
    I can view all the integral stuff in ATV and also view/listen to movies/music in Itunes.
    I really want to view BBC TV which is streaming on my MBA or Ipad onto the ATV.
    How can I achieve this?
    I've dabbled with Airshare ( a Cydia app ) on the Ipad but that doesn't seem to work.
    Of course, I can run a HDMI cable directly from the MBA/Ipad to the ordinary TV and throw away the ATV but I want to do it wirelessly.
    Surely this is achievable with ATV?
    Thx,

    Mr Churchill, I assume that you are talking about "live broadcasts" when  you assert that I can't stream 'anything'?
    Of course, I can 'stream' videos/music/podcasts/photos which are in my Itunes library of any of my devices to the ATV .
    I'm pretty sure that I have read postings where content displayed on an IOS device can be mirrored in Audio/VDO to the ATV.
    If this only realates to content contained within ITunes then confirmation will be regarded as the correct answer ( if not the one I wanted ).
    Can someone pls assist

  • How to stream content from Macbook Pro to Samsung SmartTV

    How can I view photos from iPhoto on my Macbook Pro on my Samsung SmartTV?  Samsung offers software only for PCs.

    If you have satellite/cable TV and your box has an ethernet port and you have a DVR it's also possible to stream content from your Mac to a tv.

  • How do I stream content from my Lucid3 to the TV?

    I was told that streaming from my phone is as easy as plug-n-play, no luck so far. Any help?

    I have an LG G2. I also have a Samsung Smart TV that supports DLNA. I can run a program like iMediaShare from the Playstore, and I can send video and pictures from my phone to the TV. I can also load this program onto an HP Touchpad running Android and do the same.
    My TV also has a YouTube app which will let me pair with other wireless devices like my phone or my HP Touchpad, and select and play YouTube videos to watch on my TV.
    With KitKat, your phone and my phone should have Miracast (Settings | Share and connect) which you can enable. My TV is not Miracast ready (I would have to purchase a dongle that would attach to an HDMI port on the side or back of the TV). Then I guess, I could stream content (compatible with Miracast) to the TV. If your TV already has it, you wouldn't need a dongle... but I don't think you'd be able to stream any content with Miracast. You'd have to research it more.
    There may be other options depending on your TV. Hopefully, this will get you started.

  • How to stream content from laptop to apple tv?

    Hello everyone,
    I want to purchase a Apple TV but have want to know a little more before purchasing. If I am watching something on my laptop from a website or whatever it is, am I able to stream this content from my laptop to Apple TV?
    I am not sure how this works and need some help.
    Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can mirror your desktop, if your computer meets the specifications.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

  • Stream content from iTunes to AppleTV and Airport Express

    I have an Apple TV in family room which is wirelessly connected to my home network. I also have a PC connected via Ethernet to my network. All my music is stored on an external drive connected to my PC (I don’t store any media on the ATV, as my music is well over 400GB). This setup works great, and allows me to stream content from the external drive to my ATV which is connected to a stereo.
    Next, I purchased an Airport Express, connected it to a second stereo in my basement. After spending 3 hours trying to get it connected to my network, (I had to disable all wireless encryption, and use MAC filtering to keep network secure), I am now able to stream media from iTunes on the PC, to the stereo connected to the Airport Express.
    What I would like to do now, is be able to select a song from the Apple TV (using ATV remote, or iPhone Remote), and have it play in both places. Since the media itself is coming from iTunes running on the PC with the external drive, and it gets streamed from there to Apple TV, how can I also stream the same content to the Airport Express?
    The folks at the Apple store say this is a feature, but no one seems to know how to make it work. I have also read hundreds of posts online, and some say you can do this, others say you cannot. All of those who say it is not possible, state you cannot stream from ATV to AE, but in my case, the media is not on the ATV, it is on the PC, and I just want to use ATV to select the song. From there, it would be iTunes that would send the content to both the ATV and the AE.
    Can someone help myself and many others put this question to rest - can it be done, or not?

    Thanks for the reply. Just as you indicated, I figured out how to use iPhone remote to tell iTunes on PC to output to Express, Apple TV and PC, and that works great - I can even turn on/off any of the speakers from the iPhone - this is so COOL!
    While you answered the question, I am curious about the architecture of all this...If the media is actually on the PC and is controlled by iTunes, isn't the Apple TV doing the same thing as the iPhone Remote - just telling iTunes what to play, and iTunes sends the content to whatever speakers are defined? Keeping that thought, if you can control iTunes via iPhone Remote, and the content will play on any speakers you select, then it would make sense that you could do the same thing with the Apple TV menu - tell iTunes what to play, and let iTunes send to whatever speakers you have selected.

  • I have a 120gb Classic that has no space left on it. i am going to buy a larger gb capacity ipod as soon as i get clearer instruction on how to get the old ipod content to the new ipod. How do you get content from one ipod to the other?

    how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help

    If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
    Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

  • How to migrate content from BW 3.1 to NetWeaver 7.0

    Hello all out there,
    For a couple of years I have been successfully using SDN, finding always the right answer to my questions, however in my late assignment things have not been running that smoothly.
    This is my first posting to SDN and I hope any of you out there can give me a hand.
    <b>My Case:</b>
    We are planning to upgrade from BW 3.1 directly into NetWeaver 7.0
    <b>Our previous research within our planning phase has taking us to read:</b>
    •Everything under the Marketplace NetWeaver Upgrade portal (https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/upgradenw70)
    •Upgrade Master Guide
    •Many docs in SDN
    <b>My Question:</b>
    Based on our research, we have a good understanding about the technical upgrade path and the creation of a new landscape. However anything we have read explains about how to migrate our actual Queries, ODS, Web Templates, Infocubes, Update Rules, InfoObjects, etc to the new environment.
    <b>Could you please point me to the right literature, how to guide, migration path, etc; explaining how to migration content from BW 3.1 to NetWeaver 7.0</b>

  • How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

    How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
    Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
    Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
    There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one
