How to stream videos\audio\photos from your PC to WP8

[TechAbstract]

There are only two steps :evil:
1. Install Tversity Media Server on PC
2. Install Streaming Media (free) app or Yxplayer WP8 paid app (Note: Yxplayer has best compatibility, it literally plays every video with full sound that I have thrown at it). You'll need to find out the IP address of the computer hosting Tversity for Streaming Media app. IP address is not needed with Yxplayer app. To find out the LAN IP address, use "Command Prompt" or go to Run and type in cmd, then press Enter key. You should see a window that says something like cmd.exe, now type in ipconfig and press Enter button. Look for the IPv4 Address, example 192.168.0.2

Settings for Streaming Media:
Make sure to enable Force Profile in Settings. Exit and restart the app to take affect. Go to Connections and add IP address of Tversity server.

How much does Yxplayer cost?

$4.49 for the WP8 version and $2.49 for WP7 version. Streaming Media app is free 3rd party client for Tversity but some videos won't have audio.

Hi, sorry to bring up this old thread, but is there anyway to stream video without a server app on the windows pc? An app that can access the shared folders in the home network?

ShareFolder | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

IMPORTANT: Note that ShareFolder is NOT intended to be a streaming player.

...which probably means you can expect some playing issues when playing video's directly from the share...

How about the other way around?
