How to Stream Desktop Live Streams to DLNA Smart TV?

[Telstar]

Hi,

Dell Inspiron 570 PC
Windows7
NETGEAR N600 Dual-Band Router
VLC 2.0.7
StreamTorrent
TVersity Media Server

Is this possible?

Recently purchased a Vizio E601i-A3 60" Smart TV, DLNA Enabled, and have been trying to find a method of viewing my Windows7 Desktop on the TV. I came across VLC Media Player: Desktop Streaming but this instruction is for streaming from one Desktop to another (not from a Desktop PC to a DLNA enabled Smart TV). There may be different settings in there to do what I want, but I have no clue what else to do.

Are there any step-by-step instructions on how I can view my Desktop live streams (streams source would be e.g. StreamTorrent)? I've searched the net but haven't come across any clear and concise, easy-to-follow instructions, so I'm hoping this forum can help me out if there is a methodology available to accomplish this task.

My hope is to be able to view e.g. a live streaming sports event using my StreamTorrent client, and be able to view this stream on my Smart TV.

Thanks!

VLC does not currently support streaming output via DLNA or UPnP AV. Patch welcome.

My solution to streaming my computer's Desktop to my Vizio Smart TV (DLNA) was two-fold:

1) For LIVE streams, I purchased the Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player for (at the time) $35.00. By also installing the Google Chrome Browser, I can now send to the TV the Chrome tab/window where I am viewing a live stream, OR, it can send the entire Desktop to the TV allowing me to view any streaming video seen on the computer's Desktop on a different browser, such as Firefox or IE.

2) Installed the TVersity DLNA Media Server application which enables me to view any media content/file (Video, Audio, Photo) on my TV. TVersity streams multimedia content from a personal computer to UPnP, DLNA and mobile devices (Chromecast is also supported). If you know where to look, you can get a free download of TVersity that works great. The version of TVersity that works best for me is version 2.3 (which is NOT the latest version).

For either one, a WiFi connection is required of course.

Hope this helps!

No. Nobody voluteered to do the work, and nobody sponsored it either.
