[Q] Throw feature does not find wifi dlna player - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all,
I 'm trying to connect my Z3c to a raspberry running OSMC using Throw feature but my phone doesn't find anything. I've just activated DLNA playback feature on my OSMC instance.
Anyone has succesfully tried this feature with OSMC or Raspbmc instance? Are there more requirement than simply DLNA playback function on a media center?
P.S.: sorry for my bad english.

Using Diamond as a media receiver

Guys, I would like your opinion / advice on -
I have a Windows Home Server which streams Video to the TV via a Media Centre Extender. I would like to stream Music all over the house from the centralised Server. I have an old Diamond and a couple of Kaisers lying in the house which can connect to the Server over wifi + HTC Network plugin. None of them would be having a SIM card inside. I am going to use Coreplayer as the network player to play the music files on the Server.
Is there any other solution or this is the most optimal solution.
Secondly, is there a dock which has built-in speakers or facility to add speakers as well as charging for the diamond?
Any idea / help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Chromecast video on tv audio on phone

Hi my question is is there a player except localcast which allows me to stream videos on my tv via chromecast but let the audio play from my phone? i searched a lot of websites but could not find anything hope someone can help me here
I could see this being possible by running a UPnP server on the Chromecast and diverting/mirroring the audio through that. I think you'd probably need a rooted Chromecast to do it at this stage though (which I don't have).

I actually got that to happen accidentally while testing casting from Chrome Beta on the phone. I started a Vimeo video playing on the phone, switched to full screen, clicked the Chromecast icon, the video loaded on the Chromecast and started playing, the phone screen switched to control playing on the Chromecast - but the audio continued on the phone. That didn't happen when I stopped and started again, only the first time.

No Sound when Casting Screen/Desktop to TV, assistance required.......

Hello XDA Community, I just received my Google Chromecast yesterday and so far loving it but i have ran into a very serious and worrying problem...
Anytime i try to Cast Screen/Desktop i never receive Audio in the stream but...the Audio will work fine when streaming a Chrome Tab,
I have tried all workarounds listed via Google and other users via XDA DEVELOPERS but i am truly unable to get it to work with Audio via Cast Screen/Desktop,
I have already tried resetting the device to factory default and rebooting it etc, am truly unsure what else to try
I hope some smart cookie on here who managed to get this to work can lend a hand and share anyway i can get this to work,
Kinda regards

Does Audio work when casting the entire Screen/Desktop to TV?
I am beginning to think Audio doesn't work when casting the entire Screen/Desktop
Can anyone confirm if this is a working feature? I was planning to use VLC and WMP on PC as well as Steam local Music to my TV when in entire screen/desktop mode :/
BUMP???
Anyone able to comment on this for me?
I cannot get audio to work either when casting entire screen guess thats what experimental means. But iff i cast from my phone do get audio and can control it from phone vol keys.
When you do scrren mirroing and u dont get sound but video only that means you have a low connection and your mirroing is weak and close to lose Connection . I had the same problem a millón times until i but a wifi-amplifier and then make my phone/tablet/computer and chromecast connect to the same wifi the amolifier creates by using your house's wifi and i never got the no-sound bug again.

1080/24p mode ?

Hello everyone,
Is there someone around there who successfully played a video with a refresh rate automatically switched to 24p ?
On my side unable to do that either with Kodi or other players. It is a pitty and makes the product useless as a media server...

Wi-Fi Drops using Chromecast

Hi Guys,
Any of you have experienced wi-fi drops using Chromecast Audio?, the thing is it supposed to work properly until I wake up the phone to check messages, or do something and the wi-fi suddenly drops and few seconds later it reconnects, sometimes it also happens when using Bluetooth playing music.
- It happens with the embedded Music application casting to Chromecast audio
- Also casting to Chromecast audio using Neutron music player
- Playing music on Kodi using Yatse remote control (in this case the only relation between my phone and music player software is the remote control because Kodi is playing music itself)
I tried what Sony suggested in their support webpage (except doing a factory reset) and no luck...
Any ideas here?
Thanks and cheers,
Bruno.
