Video Sites that work on the TAB? - Galaxy Tab General

Just wondering what sites you guys have been streaming movies and shows successfully on the TAB?
http://www.southparkstudios.com/ -- streams and goes full screen =)
http://www.i4iphones.info/ -- streams fine and downloads fine
Netflix -- NOPE
HULU -- NOPE

I was trying to take a look at the Boise st -Fresno st game on espn.com via wifi and video was horrible not fluid, no i do not have 3g. Any ideas?

Not a site but check out the mediafly app in the market. Video blog/website aggregator. Also if you want hulu on your tab use the PlayOn software on your pc and then allshare on your tab.

Mine works, I played some torrented tv off of mine not too long ago.
I should say I played video on my PS3 streaming from allshare on my tab

I haven't tried AllShare, but after my experiences with DLNA client on my Samsung TV I will not bother and try to find another DLNA client for Android.
I've streamed from my Tab to a Windows Media Centre PC and it worked fine.
The only "oddity" is that in AllShare, I can select the "Server" ok, but but I can't seem to actually select the "Display Device" so that I can press the next button. However, Media Centre can see the Tab, and can stream from it.
Regards,
Dave
Your best bet for a DLNA server is Tversity if you need transcoding.
If you don't, Samsung released their own DLNA server, the Samsung PC Share Manager, for their TVs. This server works fine to stream over AVIs and content that will play natively on the Tab anyway.
PS3 Media Server transcodes to streams not supported by the Tab.. it's a poor choice as it's tailored so specifically for the PS3.
Tried tversity still no luck with this allshare app. Would be nice to get this working.

Tried PS3 Media Sever and no luck. Basic media sharing on my WHS and my win7 box allows me to stream avi's but not MKVs. MKVs do play natively though so its the default player that is having the issue I think.
I wrote a quick "how-to" a bit ago here.

What is the error ? "an error message" makes diagnosis difficult.
PS3 Media server uses reasonably standard DLNA protocols, the main problem with most formats is just allshare being _very_ limited in the codecs that it supports.
You're better off getting CIFS working via threads elsewhere in this forum and mounting your media share as a local folder on the GTab. The native video app even plays .MKV files much to my amazement.
"sorry this video cannot be played" thats the message , ill take your reccomendation and check out cifs. I thought that the all share app would support the same vid files as the native player but i guess not.

[Q] Megavideo on Galaxy tab?

Hello,
I just ordered my galaxy tab today and I'm looking for good accessories for it.
I watch a lot of videos from megavideo and I wanted to know it works good on the galaxy tab so I could buy the TV out cable and watch it from the tv.
Can anyone tell me if megavideo works fine on galaxy tab? Because I had another tablet with android 2.2 and the sound of the videos had different timing compared to the video itself.
also anyone knows if the Flash player works fullscreen using the tv out.
Thanks.
yes it does work. i use it all the time. it just depends on your connection. i get a lot of buffering which is annoying as hell but once its going its.....gone! after a lil it works just fine. i use it to watch my anime and i use the video out and it works good.
have you guys tried the Megavideo application? it's still a beta version, but it should work without problems..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11621885
please, check it out and let me know your feedback!
The megavideo app works ok... but there is a app "TV Shows Stream" it is very good, check out the trial
If you want to watch movies too on megavideo, use the Megavideo app... and with chrome2phone you can send the links from the Browser directly to the tab and it automatically detects megavideo links
It downloads in flash format... not original Format AFAIK, but good to watch though
I watch quicksilverscreen via TV out just fine

Good app to stream downloaded videos from PC to Tab

I have heard abt PLEX but cant make it to work. Can anyone provide step by step instructions to get it to work.
Or some other app which may work better than Plex?
never tried plex, but I use subsonic which has not caused me any issues. The app is free but requires a donation to get the video streaming

Thanks. Any free application?
PS3 Media Server works well for streaming media. Asumming you're sharing the correct format and resolution. It's free and very easy to setup.
Upn in the market along with rockplayer or moboplayer also in the market. Along with HDMI cable works great.

I convert my videos with handbrake for my A500 and then access them via Tonido. There's an android client on the market. Works great, videos buffer for a bout 5 seconds over wifi then start playing.
http://www.tonido.com
My set-up. PS3 Media Server on the PC. UPnPlay and MoboPlayer on the tab. It works for me.
+1 on subsonic.
great thing about subsonic is you don't have to be on the same network to use it. i stream to my tab while i'm at work sharing the net from phone. i have to admit the quality isn't great. but it gets the job done.
for the DLNA setups i'm pretty sure you have to be on the same network.
I've never used plex since i'm a linux user.
has anyone tried orb yet? that might be another one to look into.

DLNA

Hi
Does new Galaxy 10.1 WiFi only 16GB come with DLNA connectivity (like Tab 7.0) or not? Not able to understand it even on samsung.com site...
the 10.1 comes with stock android 3.1 so.. no, it does not have dlna support out of the box.
Here you go: http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...T-P7500UWDDBT/detail.aspx?atab=specifications
DivX support Yes (This feature is available in Q3 with a software update.)
And I think I saw it somewhere associated with DLNA.

as far as I remember DLNA was going to come later (probably when they push TouchWiz)

DLNA comes with the Allshare app, which is part of TW afaik.
I plan to use it to both send and recieve media from my XBMC box. Saves me from buying a HDMI adapter
I'm using imediashare to stream videos from tab/youtube to TV through xbox/NMT player. Not sure how it connects (uPnP or DLNA) but it works
I downloaded the imediashare app and it works like a dream with my PS3. 1080p? No lag, no problems whatsoever.
maybe try to install the Allshare apk from the SGS 2 ?
Anybody else try out imediashare?
It tells me it is not compatible with the GT 10.1.
I've tried netFront connect
I've tried the following so far:
ALLSHARE - does not even start!
AMEDIA CONTROL - can reach the dlna server and browse the directories but video don't start.
SKIFTA - reach the server,browse directories but video don't play. Just images if paused.
NETFRONT - reach the server but more often than not it freezes.
It seems DLNA compatibility is not possible so far.
BubbleUPnP works everytime - content from Host (Ubuntu) or USB stick in the back of the router.
try plex for android and imediashare

Video Player for KF ICS CM9 streaming over DLNA.

Trying to figure out how to stream content from my desktop using PS3 Media Server (DLNA Service) to my Kindle Fire running CM9. I have found a couple of apps which will browse the DNLA content from my desktop, but they require a video player to hand off to. I have used a few video players and can't seem to get any them to work, they sit there acting like they're loading content but nothing happens in a few minutes.
Anyone have any suggestions on a setup that would work?

What I do, and it works perfect for me, is that I use two programs. Skifta and MX player. Skifta is what delivers the media, and MX player plays it. You can even use skifta to play your media if you are on another network. They are both free in Google play. If you are looking for a dlna program that would let you download your media from your server, then I would use bubbleupnp.
