I currently use either Skifta or imediashare combined with moboplayer. As long as you share out a directory with files on your PC over the network you should be able to see and access the files. The A500 is DLNA compatible. It is one of the reasons I purchased it as I saw the xoom was certified.
thanks for the info

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.
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

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

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!

Hello,
at the regular computer I use Windows Media Player to watch IPTV from the Internet.
Which app would you recommend to use instead for Acer Iconia A500?
Thanks!
I found it by my own.
If anybody else is interesting...
To watch mms streaming we could use Vplayer (from market).
Hi,
Is it possible to make the tab as DLNA tv? so we can play movie/photo on tab, while data on laptop.
Currently it is possible but we have to browse which movie to play. What im asking is the media is pushed from laptop or other phone.
Thanks
Not ssure exactly what you are asking, as you say it's possible, which it is, so I'm not sure what you want.
However, I recently installed Skifta and I can now stream movies from my desktop over my home network to the Tab. It works well with Rockplayer

I would like to know that as well, I've read you can stream via DLNA/Allshare to a Samsung TV, but it seems those apps only stream a local file. Also I wonder whether the Nexus 7 is capable of downloading the stream whilst streaming it along to the TV.

Too expensive i think. What I will try out is a Samsung MHL cable (see Amazon) and attaching a WiiMote to the device. This should transfer the screen/audio while giving me the freedom to control it from the couch.
As of now, I have testes Plex Media Server in conjunction with the Plex App on the Nexus, which is really impressive on its own already, since I can for example link every YouTube Video I like (via myplex) and stream that from my PC to the TV (even without the Android App, since the TV recognizes the Plex Media Server on its own via DLNA!). I can also stream my Video Folders to Tablet and/or TV whenever I like. The only downside of this is that I have to have the PC running.
For streaming videos from the Google Play store I think iMediashare will be sufficient, since one can select whichever file residing on the tablet and stream it to the TV. I could not test it with Play Store Videos yet, since I get the error that I have downloaded the complimentary Transformers 3 to the maximum of devices already (which I haven't) whenever I click the download option in the Google Video Player. But from what I gather, it should be possible to download a video (rent) and instead of viewing it via the Google Video App, open it in iMediashare and stream that to the TV. Using the WiiMote App, it should also have a remote then.
In case one can't open the rental video outside of Google Video App, it should still work using the MHL Cable.
If you check that out, let me know whether it works for you
I will be able to do further testing when my replacement Nexus arrives, since I got and 8GB instead of 16GB version, I will have to wait until I got it swapped.
and therefore do not pile nexus 7...NO HDMI :/
I wait for acer a110
