Play to

[gizziesmum]

I have got the latest update and am finding that the Play To feature is only showing refresh nothing else, is it something I am not doing?:(

The "Play To" menu will only show DLNA DMR devices (digital media renderers). DLNA DMRs are capable of being pushed files and being controlled (Stop, Pause, Seek, Play, Volume, etc.). If no devices are getting listed, then it is possible that your devices are not DMRs. For example, PS3 and older Viera TVs are not DMRs so they don't get listed. Let us know what DLNA devices you have in your home and we can check for you.

The dlna devices I have are a Panasonic Viera tv TX-L37D25BA 2011?
Two Panasonic 2012? blue ray players one is dmp bd75, the other is a SCBTT755 3D home theatre,
A PS3.
Do Ipod touch 4th generation count as dlna players?

Thank you but you have probably answered my question

Unfortunately, I think your devices are all Digital Media Players (DMPs) so they will bot be able to utilize Play To :(.

Apple devices do not support DLNA natively as part of iOS, but there are DLNA apps that you can install that can be used for DLNA streaming.

Paul, I've been trying to also utilize the Play To feature in the new Version with my XBox One. It is discovered in the media devices however it does not show up in the play to drop down. The only way to push to the XB1 is to use the Android Mezzmo App. Also all I can do is start the video. If I try to do anything else. (FF, RW, Pause, Jump to time) the video starts over from beginning. Using XB1 controller I can pause and as long as I don't wait for more than 5 minutes or so I can play again and resume from where I paused it. Everything else just starts the video over. Is this expected with XB1 or should I have all playback control ability.

I'm a bit slow to reply to this thread but 4.1.3.0 did fix the issue. XBox-One shows up in the "Play to" drop box.

Thanks for letting us know. We have made further improvements to Play To features and these will be available in the next Mezzmo release.
