Is there a way to send media to client.

by **Lowlander** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:45 am

Note that a new Media Server (MediaMonkey Library) was created and thus any conversion rules would need to be setup for it too as it is used when sending media to a client.

Thanks. I had no idea. That's awesome.

And it's working great for music but not for any of my videos. I'll search further to see if there's any information on that before posting for help.

Thanks again.

Just wondering if "Play To" is still planned for MM4.1. I'm really hoping so. I just downloaded the 4.1.0.1626 dev build but I can't find it implemented if it is.

But I'm admittedly also not very good at this stuff. I was finally able to get DLNA working to use the TV functionality to find and play music from the MediaMonkey source. But I can't seem to find a way to select music from MediaMonkey on the PC and send it to the TV.

The ability to "Play To," like what is found in Windows Media Player, would be a really nice addition to MediaMonkey. For general use, the PC interface is so much better than the really cludgy DLNA interface available through my Samsung TV.

Thanks,

There is a "workaround" way to do it but it requires an alternate device. iOS and Android both have Control Point software packages you can install on the phones/tablets and use it to control your DLNA devices. For android I recommend BubbleUPnP.

No, this is still slated for MediaMonkey 4.1 which is not available yet.

Hello all, I am new to the forum, hopefully I am not repeating the same old questions but, Please, Please, Please

I am in dire need of an updated and current answer (Nov 2012)to the question, can I push or play music from media monkey to my apple TV2 with XBMC installed on it in any way?
If media Monkey supports it that would be great!
If not; is there any kind of work around or method to make this happen, it seems like this would be highly useful and appreciated by many with the same kind of set up.

I would truly appreciate your answers, suggestions or any bits of information you could flow my way...

Thanking you all in advance

But if it could where would you find simple effective UPnP/DLNA/WiFI(WLAN) DACs or small boxes with audio out to connect to your good 30 years old HiFi system. My question is when MM is good to go where do I find quality dongles as above?

I am aware that I could by two or more boxes from Sonos, Logitech(Squeezebox), Apple or others..
But they all want to control my life (and wallet) when I am looking for a simple solution....

Anyone knows about simple DACs that are quality UPnP/DLNA/WiFI(WLAN) clients wihout being a complete amplifier or server system??

I'm sure there will be better/cheaper but the HTC Media link HD is supposed to be a DLNA reciever and is under £100,

If anyone can reccomend a dirt cheap audio only device... < £20 ideally I'd love to know!!!

If this was included so that it can be used with party mode I would be happy to pay for a gold liscence,

make sure when the remote device stops the current track that MM does not skip to the next track which is what happens on WMP.

Thanks,

Mark

That's not entirely true. MediaMonkey can stream to clients when the clients are asking for media to stream (ie you use the client to navigate and play your media). MediaMonkey can't yet push media to a client (ie in MediaMonkey you tell it where to play your media).

You might want to have a look at UPnPlay, BubbleUPnP or 2Player.

It probably won't be possible to control the iHome wifi Speaker because it looks as though this device doesn't support DLNA.

I would like to throw my support behind this enhancement.

I have an Andriod phone and installed the plug-ins and remote software to control and search for songs in my library and play them on the PC. The next step would be to direct sound to my xbox and play through the house Stereo without the need to move a laptop there. (and it sucks because the ALLSHARE tool that came with my phone can direct MM to xobx - but I cannot search for an control songs.. weird, all the pieces are there, just not together the way I want).

I love MM - Love the remote control (with search and everything!!).. now I just need to be able to play to my xbox, Pioneer XW-NAC3 or my iHome wifi Speaker!!

Keep up great work!!
