- What promise? I never saw a DLNA promise. I really don't see what the functionality is that is so important with DLNA. So you can view stuff saved on your playbook? Can you also view websites from the playbook. Mirror the screen on a DLNA tv? If not, then what is the point? Everything on your playbook is most likely already on your network. I guess it would be nice, but it isn't that big of a deal.02-21-12 11:22 AMLike 0
- It was promised last year it would come and they still were not able to put it in OS2

So much for that.
Anyway, I've switched to a Samsung Slate and my Playbook can now catch dust.trickykid likes this.02-22-12 08:19 AMLike 1 - It was promised last year it would come and they still were not able to put it in OS2

I was just stating the facts. Besides, that we still do not have DLNA does not have anything to do with me switching to another device.
The Slate is just much better suited to what I need to do compared to the Playbook, that's all. You know, sometimes people migrate to other devices because they are just better suited for the job than the old one.02-22-12 08:51 AMLike 0 -

I've been spreading the word that it might come with OS2, for three reasons :
1. RIM is now (for a week or so) listed on the DLNA site as a member
2. Leaked os 7.1.0.267 for my 9900 includes this feature.
3. DLNA Facebook page replies to my direct question in a vague way but acknowledged that RIM was active into DLNA.
I should bite my tongue ... but
I won't be surprise if DLNA was just around the corner. I guess whe have some surprises to come, since they weren't embedded in initial OS2 release. This is the magic of OTA.

Last, please put its coat on, and load it sometimes, or I call the WSPPB*, you brute !

DLNA could actually be referenced in the 7.1 leaks. Since it is not officially there yet, it is still "coming soon". But the Playbook will get DLNA. The 3g/4g versions are launching with it enabled (according to what I have been told). You are correct though, wont be difficult to add via OTA with incremental updates.02-22-12 09:09 AMLike 0 - Wow, calm down man. No need to vent off here.

Sorry for the aggressive crack back. It just seems like, no matter what bb does, it's never enough.
I totally agree that "what ever works" best for the individual. I like to think of myself as a glass 1/2 full kinda guy and the incessant smack thrown down RIM on gets old. (some of it well deserved)
No harm no foul.....Peace bro02-22-12 09:09 AMLike 0 - Yep, we have that feature since quite some time. But what DLNA really means is that you can take your PB and have movies or whatever else streamed from a DLNA server (like a NAS or multimedia server). So you can watch stuff without having it to download to the PB (like a TV show you've recorded on your media center).02-22-12 09:27 AMLike 0
- For those the at want to steam from their movie lib.
I have since day 1 used my PB browser pointing to my Twonky managed movie / picture library (2.9 Terabyte) running on a Linux server. I use the web interface to select the movie I want to see and whala, I can go full screen etc. I can even attach my hdmi cable and pump it to my big screen, plays my HD movies just fine. I let my boxee and ps3 consoles also connect to my Twonky library.rcm1301 likes this.02-26-12 01:16 PMLike 1 - While on the topic of DLNA can someone help me out.
I have a non DLNA Panasonic TV and I want a solution to stream content to TVs and home audio setups in my house.
I have a wifi router setup. Is there a product which can plug into my TV using RCA jacks or HDMI and connect to my home network and then stream content from my PB, BB and laptops?
Any suggestions would be welcome.02-26-12 02:09 PMLike 0 - Warming up this thread ... any News on DLNA on Playbook?
It's the almost only device at my home not able to do ... I can stream media to/from WinXP PC's, 2 Samsung bada Cellphones, Samsung Smart TV and from Fritzbox WLAN Router.
With PB I miss the most to send media
Playbook --> TV
Computer --> Playbook
Computer --> TV with Playbook as DLNA-Remotecontrol Agent (not sure if that's a Samsung-only feature ... my cellphone can do that ... just the media selection is too complicated there)
Is there any progress in 2.1 beta? Any app that now works now?
