Tried the actions in the linked thread ....

the download failed to find anything, and the DNLA compliance website did not identify the phone ....

However i have found an app on Rim's app store called waveroom which allows media streaming to the phone ... you do however have to downlaod there server onto the PC

So it would appear its possible, if we know the required settings ..

would there be anything obvious on the phone that would help?

I have the phone now BTW

From http://www.gsmpedia.net/review-blackberry_torch_9810_review-57.html

  Code:
The music player remains the same, so does the gallery. But now it's able to play 720p videos in MPEG-4, DivX and XviD formats, with ease. Audio  and video quality is pretty good. Unfortunately the Torch 9810 lacks multimedia sharing, DLNA or a HDMI port.


Even tho it does not look like there is built in DLNA, I did find a app on the balckberry app store.

  Code:
Item Description
Connect to TVersity

Tested on OS2.0 and OS2.0 compatible.

**NOTE: This applications was not developed by TVersity and is only designed to connect to their server software**

This connector allows your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ to connect to a TVersity server. For more information on setting up a TVersity server please refer to: http://tversity.com/

What does it do?

This lets you stream your Audio, Video and Pictures from your PC to your BlackBerry® PlayBook™. The TVersity Server is free to install and use. And is also compatible with:  XBOX, PS3 and Wii.

Does it work over the internet?

Yes, you can configure TVersity to connect over the internet by IP address or a DNS.   

Do I need to buy this app to use TVersity?

No, there are other ways of streaming TVersity to your devices.  TVersity is a DLNA compliant sharing server - and this is just one of several ways to watch the videos.

Am I limited to only TVersity?

No you can customize this application to connect to any standard web server that can transcode video to flash.  You can customize the IP and Port.  TVersity however is one of the few servers that will convert the videos for you so they are compatible with your BlackBerry® PlayBook™.



By reading this, Serviio can be used with this app, but it looks like everything needs to be transcoded to flash. I am not sure that serviio supports transcoding to flash at this time.

This is exactly the opposite, “Media streaming FROM blackberry torch”, it is a free DLNA server for Blackberry OS. However I think some of you will find it interesting….
