        This should work like the 'share' option in IE that allows you to send a website to the Xbox.

        Windows Phone 8 sorely needs a DLNA implementation lik ewindows 8 has built into the Devices charm. A good idea would be to expand the "Share" feature to include detected DLNA devices.

        Airplay compare. DLNA Play To fails in mot cases.
        So, good DLNA or Airplay!

        Look at Airplay. It is great. That is the single reason for me to use iPhone ab Spotify at home.

        Needs to be integrated so all apps can take advantage of this. Other nice-to-haves:
        - Server, so media can be served by the phone
        - Client, so the phone itself can play media from a server

        DLNA should be integrated in the OS. That we could stream music, videos, youtube to a tv like the airplay function in ios.

        I have DLNA playback ability with my Nokia Lumia 710 and my 800. I don't know if other manufactures will provide support but if not I'm sure someone could just write an app that would do it.

        Luckily Lumia 900 just added this app, I suspect there are other WP devices and apps for DLNA as well...

        I had tested an iphone... Airplay is great : I want the same with DLNA and Windows phone. I want DLNA integreted in the system.

        Just like Allahare on sgsII. We need the ability to stream to the phone from the media server. Killer app!

        Native support in Zune player so synced songs/playlists, marketplace songs and Zune pass songs can all be streamed to a renderer

        DLNA should be baked into the OS much like it is baked into Windows 7. In Windows 7 it is extremely easy (2 clicks) to setup your device as a DLNA media server.

        On WP7 you can get the app oneShare to use your phone as a media player (you can stream to your phone) but the phone can't act as a media server with this. And the software UI/UX is subpar.

        DLNA should be a 1 to 2 tap feature anywhere in the OS to be a server or player

        Need to be able to consume media from DLNA sources, not just push content to DLNA receivers. SmartShare does the latter but not the former.

        dlna could be very useful..i don't want just xbox or w7, i want full dlna for music, pictures and videos

      • Caspet JensenCaspet Jensen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        being able to stream audio/video from apps to dlna enabled devices. I want to play audio from my Spotify to my Denon reciever...
