Xbox connection
As long as you have a wireless network setup at home, an iOS/Android device and Xbox, you can use MyAudioStream to wirelessly stream media to your TV set. It’s extremely simple, and can be done by following these few easy steps:
Step 1. Download MyAudioStream (the free version works just fine), and launch it.
Step 2. Turn on your Xbox, and make sure both it and your iOS/Android device are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Step 3. Your iDevice should pop up on your Xbox under the Music tabs, and you should be able to navigate through your content on either your Xbox or using the MyAudioStream app.
Step 4. That’s it! Select which media you want to stream, kick back and enjoy.
If your device doesn’t populate in one of the above-mentioned tabs, navigate to Settings > Network Settings > Media Server Connection on your Xbox and make sure that it says “Enabled.” You can also manually search for media servers in the same menu.
I have PS3/PS4, could I playback music with it?
1. Connect your PS and device to your Wi-Fi
DLNA operates over Wi-Fi, so it’s essential that the devices you want to connect are both using the same Wi-Fi network. If you have multiple wireless routers in your home, you’ll need to make sure that phone/tablet and PS are on the same network. Once you’re done, load up the MyAudioStream Application.
2. Configure your PS for media sharing
Fire up your PS console and scroll across to Settings. Scroll down to Internet Settings, and then down to Media Server Connection. Make sure this is enabled — if it isn’t, your PS won’t be able to ‘see’ your phone/tablet.
3. Playing your music
Once the connection is established between your console and phone, the media on your phone/tablet becomes listed in the relevant section of the PS’s media bar. Scroll across to the Music section and expect to see your phone appear as one of the available folders. It should be listed as ‘[Mobile]’.
Once you open up the phone, you’ll be (confusingly) presented with folders for all of the available DLNA content — Audio. You’ll be presented with a long list of all the songs currently stored on your phone’s internal memory. Clicking on a song will start streaming. You can use the PS pad to pause, rewind and fast-forward through the musical tracks — just like a proper remote control — even though the actual footage is stored on your handset.
