I would like to use VLC for mobile (or other media player) to do the following:

1.    Download videos from PC to iPhone and play them to iPhone.
2.    Play videos from iPhone to PC monitor wirelessly.
3.    Play videos from iPhone to Sony Smart TV (old one) wirelessly.
4.    Play videos from PC to Sony Smart TV (old one) wirelessly.

All that without to use gadget like Chromecast. Just using the wireless and router. If it’s possible of course.
I would appreciate a step by step guide.

Thank in advance!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year 2021!

You can achieve this by installing a media manager like Emby or Plex so you would need the server variant on your PC and the client which you can download in the Apple app store for your phone. You'd have to check if Emby or Plex can be installed on your Sony TV before you decide which server to use, at worst case scenario you might have to enable DLNA in the Plex server so you can view media files on your TV through the DLNA method on the TV if it does not support Emby or Plex apps and casting to it.

 

As a last resort you might need Kodi if that is available for your Sony TV to connect to the Emby or Plex server, there are plenty of walkthrough guides on the internet for each of these servers and I personally use Plex which has a wizard to help setup the server (your PC).

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
