I have Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile on a Lumia 950XL, and even Win 8.1 on Lumia 1020. I also have a Groove Music Pass, used very little since the days of Zune music pass. I recently bought a Sony wifi speaker to evaluate DLNA streaming on my home wireless network. I can make everything work well enough on Windows 10 pcs by using Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player. However, I haven't succeeded in finding a working DLNA player for Windows 10 Mobile on my Lumia 950XL.
I have downloaded VLC for Windows Mobile and the Lumia Play To apps. The Windows Mobile VLC app crashes. Even when it doesn't, I can't see an option to stream to or cast to. I suspect the app needs a Windows 10 revision...
The Lumia Play To app will generally not discover the Sony wifi speaker. Even if I connect the speaker via Ethernet to facilitate discovery, it posts an error that the media type is not supported. I almost think that some of this has to do with digital media rights, but I suspect my ignorance to be an equally dangerous part of this.
Does anyone have some experience and/or recommendations on how I can do wifi streaming from Windows 10 Mobile while we wait to see if Microsoft ever builds cast to into Groove Music?
Thanks,
RicketyTiger
