I just bought a movie from the samsung media hub and transfered it to my computer. I know I am able to watch it on my tab, but I was wondering if anyone here has heard of a program that can play a pyv file so I can watch it on my computer and possibly also on my tv.
Thanks

If vlc doesn't play it then your probably out of luck...

I tried vlc player and even that doesn't work. Apparently the built in video app on the tab works though...

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a free video converter to convert media (wmv, mov etc) to play on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Thanks
convert
I use Format Factory
converts to anything... you may want to ask which file format is best for the Tab... as I don't know.
I convert to 720x480 MP4... and it works well on mine... somebody on here may know a better size/setup
-shawn
You can also use vplayer. Plays everything without the need to convert anything.

EncodeHD is good if you want something simple. Just choose the XBox or PS3 profiles.

I like DVD Catalyst 4. It encodes according to the profile you select so you can choose the Tab 10.1 or the Nexus S or whatever other device you have.

For Free go handbrake for $10 go DVD Catalyst

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try Handbrake but it completely screwed up on the conversion.
I am trying Kies now (I didn't know Samsung had such a program available until last night) but if not, I might just use a player that plays everything. It makes the most sense.
Thanks again

I really enjoy using Plex as well running on my WHS. They have made some really great improvements in the last couple updates.
I use a DVD Catalyst if I need the files to be stored on my Tab and Plex to stream.
Is there any way we could stream content to a TV using dlna or something like it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
There are dlnA apps in the market that will work. Just search for dlna in the play store.

Just to clarify, cause I'd really like to be able to use the NQ to stream media from my NAS; here's the scenario
If I was playing an MKV file using Dice Player (which is streaming it from my NAS via SMB) on my Galaxy Nexus, I can have the Galaxy Nexus communicate with the NQ to have it displayed on my TV?
Any help with this is greatly aprpeciated
So basically, all i want to do is stream my mkv's to my windows 8 tablet.
Would be awesome if there was a plex client in development for the store. I did try an app called media8? But has limited file/codec support (but did detect my plex media server).
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi
Please help me with this -I've a Samsung galaxy s3 and a new Samsung LCD TV.
So most of the videos I can stream from my s3 to the TV via dnla as long as they're in the same WiFi networks.
Now I just got my new nexus thinking I'll be able to do the same. But chrome starts play inn these videos directly
On the webpage and I don't have any way to stream this to the TV.
On s3, it used too play it on the video player that comes with the android os.
How do I do this on nexus? The wireless display doesn't find my TV at all
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
N7 supports miracast. You need miracast support for wireless.
So do I need to buy miracast dongle?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Chromecast dongle could be another choice?
Look for "Pixel Media Server" on Playstore.
I use it to stream via DLNA to my Samsung tv, since my S4 is running on AOSP.

solved...!!
I figured it out finally..quite easy..
On chrome itself when its playing the flash video, there is a share button and i downloaded a program called Twonky Beam from playstore,,and click on share via beam..
Bingo!! it straight away beams whatever is playing in my browser on to my samsung TV in clear HD!!..no messsy wires..I assume there are similar apps to beam as well..
Thanks guys!!
I'm thinking of getting a chromecast dongle for my tv and just wanted to check some info first.
1. I want to wireless send video to my TV
2. I use showbox & mobdro and mxplayer will these work and is it smooth?
3. Will it also wireless play audio from poweramp?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev

I think in general you're barking up the wrong tree. The way chrome cast works is it pulls content directly from the Internet. What you're describing is like Apple Air Play (or some such thing).
Chrome cast is great, but really your device acts like a controller, that's why only certain apps are supported, because the chrome cast has to run them "onboard" so to speak. I use it with Netflix a lot.
Hope that helps.

Never tried poweramp but showbox will stream to it. Just make sure youe media player is allcast or Avia. Never had an issue with either or showbox
