Dont know if its been posted here yet but I can wire my HD2 up to my DLNA Samsung tv and watch any movie I have stored on the card.
If only all hotels had DLNA tv's it would save me having to take my Archos when I travel.

Are you saying you can, or are you asking if you can?
dlna
I say I can.
Its a DLNA thing.
Through the tv i can browse all media stored on the memory card and play through the tv set.
how you can where is the dlna service in hd2
dlna
The DLNA part of the tv sees the phone as just another external drive and can access it.
Thought if ppl were looking for a new tv they might consider a DLNA one, it has added benefits over non DLNA ones.
For example, I store loads of movies on an external hdd and play them back on my tv with no need for any other hardware.

that is indeed interesting, alas i have just bought a new tv.
Is it possible to use the tv as a remote like in the manual? Or to allow text messages and such to the tv?

That is not DLNA, that one is just USB HD support.
What you mean by (I CAN WIRE)? DLNA is a wireless service.

Is it possible to do network file sharing with Windows 7?
I already have a HTPC/Media Server that is on 24/7. Right now, it's super easy to watch streaming movies off it from our laptops/HP netbook.
Will it be possible to use RockPlayer to read files off a network drive and play them?
There is an smbshare program and airtwist will do DNLA.

Hmm, not familiar with either of those. Did a quick search, found these:
https://market.android.com/search?q=SMB+File+Sharing&c=apps
AFAIK, these let you download files to your SD card, but is it possible to them directly from the network drive?
Also, it sounds like AirTwist DLNA lets you stream from your handset to a TV:
http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2011/02...r-media-streaming-to-its-android-airsync-app/
But can it stream from your computer to your Xoom/handset?
For now Xoom itself does not support DLNA (afaik), also... even if you could stream from your NAS drive you will not be able to watch 99% of downloaded stuff as Xoom only plays very specific format :-(.
Plenty on that subject already.
Sorry for bringing bad news :-(
I'd like to stream all my content to my tablet/pc's/phones, I was going to buy a QNAP TS-110 but first I wanted to make sure it's compatible.
I don't care a bout a specific model if you have any hints let me know (about 100/150€), 2TB should be enough for me (mainly streaming music and tv series)

Any DLNA server should work
I use a buffalo NAS with UPnPlay + Moboplayer
HD Streaming works like crap over DLNA on this device for whatever reason.
If the device supports HTTP server, use that for HD streaming.

unfortunately this does not work properly (upnplay won't stream its content) that's why I was asking
I use mindlna with IMS from the market works great
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I am using LaCie Network Space MAX with UPnPlay + rockplayer and got no problems

I strongly disagree.
The stock DLNA client/renderer, MyNet, works very well for all the audio/video formats that the Android platform supports.
Transformer with UPnPlay + Moboplayer works great with my Synology NAS. But if you only use it to stream videos, this is a bit of an overkill.
As a great home NAS with DLNA bonus video streaming it works great

The one thing to consider with DLNA is which formats are configured on the host and which are allowed on the client.
My personal DLNA is my Win7 PC with an attached USB HDD. I can use this to stream any file to my TV or my TF. I have noticed some of the video titles not appearing on one or other device but this changes when using something like uPnPlay as the client.
Whatever DLNA NAS you get try the Skifta app, it seems to work well and lets you choose the video player on the Transformer. I have Moboplayer and Vplayer, sometimes one plays better than the other.
UPnPlay looks interesting, I'm going to give it a try. I fear that Skifta may charge once it's out of beta.
I am very interested in this subject and want to report my results, but do not know how to get DLNA working. Can someone describe how I can test my NAS's (ReadyNAS Pro) DLNA capabilities from my TF? What do I have to configure and what app(s) should I run.
I love my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 (upgraded from an older NV+). It will stream 720p just fine to my Samsung TV, 1080p is too choppy though. Pretty sure that's an issue with the TV, not the NAS.
I could have sworn I fiddled with streaming from the NAS to my Transformer using DLNA, but don't remember any of the details offhand.
If you get a new router that supports TOMATO with USB ports, you can attach a hard drive and stream movies directly from it using UPNPPLAy and MOBOplayer...
I'm running Tomato on the ASUS RT-16N router with a 500GB USB2.0 hard drive attached. It work great, I stream all my movies from there.
Best part: Low Power Consumption!
This one is compatible, and you can see HD content too

I use WD MYBOOKLIVE 1T. No problem there.
I can access all my media files even by just using the File Expert.

I have had a synology Nas for a few years, they are hands down by far the best nas for home use on the market!!
Also if you use ES file explorer you dont need DLNA, you can stream media files directly from a file share!! The latest version was updated two days ago and it works great on both my phone and my tablet!

i have a hdtv adaptor, however, i just dont like cables hanging around...
i have seen some video about all share on youtube and i have a couple of questions.
1. does it only work with samsung tv or i can use it with any DLNA enable device like the WD tv? (i rather buy a wd tv hub or change my LCD tv lol)
2. how long will it take to load a 2 gb file? (it took about 10 sec to load a 50mb file when i watch it on youtube will it be similar or it will be significantly longer?)
3. does it only work with stock player or there are other player is available?
Thank you

1. It should work (should being the operative word) with any DLNA device to either send or receive.
2. It streams the file, rather than caches the whole thing...so, not any longer than a 1GB file, really.
3. If you're streaming from a DLNA server to the Tab, then you should be able to use other video apps.
If you have a DLNA enabled TV now then give it a try! My Panasonic TV doesn't play every type of codec but for the most part works well enough.

thanks for the reply! Not longer than 1 GB file that really is not point for this technology as most 720p or 1080p video is over 1gb

No, I meant that it won't take any longer since it's streaming. It's not caching the file.
It's much faster than loading a youtube video, since that can only use your connection's bandwith. DLNA streaming's speed is limited to you network speed, so it should be pretty fast.
Also you don't have to load the entire video, but only the beginning. The rest streams while watching.
I use the Samsung app almost daily to stream to a Samsung TV, but it also works with my computer as a receiver. Which files and codecs work for you depends on your TV, but generally it works.
My tablet pc has a micro HDMI port and the quality is super with my TV. In Windows 8 Pro, is there any way to send the tablet display to the TV wirelessly like AirPlay? Thanks!

If your TV is a Microsoft-certified DLNA device you can open the video in the video player, swipe up from the bottom to bring up the context menu, and select 'Play To'.
You can also swipe from the right in and select 'Devices' to get to the same menu.
Are there TV's like that, I mean MS certified - I have never seen info about it in any shop, regarding any TV.
Since I will be buying one soon I'd love to know some examples....
Or any DLNA TV will be able to do it...?

Any DLNA TV should be compatible, yes, but Microsoft added a restriction that only MS-certified ones would work.
I can't give any examples as I haven't looked into it. I do know that if you set it up right you can play to Windows Media Player as a DLNA player.

I habe a Sony 46ex720. Ans a Samsung ue40d5000.
My Sony is ms certified, Samsung is Not.
So maybe this can be said in general for Sony/Samsung tvs?
I have a brand new panasonic TV streamer (DMP-MST60) that does miracast and DLNA, and also a roku. I want to be able to mirror my S4 to one of those devices, but I cant seem to make it work. I know youre supposed to buy the samsung dongle but that seems like a waste of money. I CAN use an app called ' Twonky Beam' that will let me choose online videos from youtube, vimeo, or any other website and stream them to my panasonic TV streamer or roku. So I know the S4 can see and stream content to both devices, but I want to be able to stream my entire phone and not just videos. Does anyone have any idea of how I would be able to do this? I am rooted. I would VERY much appreciate any help.
Edit: stream to my TV with sound.
