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

Hey,
I can't figure this out. First thing I did was open allshare. I selected "play media from phone on another device." It couldn't find any devices. I then checked out my PS3. I tried going to the remote play settings to register my device.
It gives me a number to input during device registration... but this is where I get stuck. I don't know where to go from here. Allshare doesn't have an option to "register a device."
Someone has to know how to do this... seeing as EVERYONE says DLNA works with a PS3....
Not sure if this is gonna help, but the PS3 streams media through a particular protocol, (UPnP), I don't believe the epic streams media in that protocol. Which means that avi, or most movie files wont play, however, I have gotten the PS3 to play songs and pictures from my epic. On the flip side, I have a Dlink DNS323 streaming to my PS3, and I can access the files on the epic, but not the movie files, just photos and pics. Not sure if movies streaming from a third party app will stream correctly either. If I am not mistaken the DLNA protocol is typically used for newer televisions with wireless enabled devices, ie Samsung LED TVs.

Videos DO work
I did some more digging through the PS3 menus. Under video, you can select sources to play media from. My PC was listed seeing as it has a wireless connection. I figured I would try something. I opened allshare from my Epic and selected "play media from phone on another player." I selected about 5 divx AVI files (How I Met Your Mother.... yay) and then it started looking for devices. It couldn't find any, but I left the Epic on this screen.
Going back to the PS3, I went under video again and this time "samsung mobile" showed up. I selected that and my list of movies appeared. I selected one and it started to play on my TV. SWEET!
Unfortunately, 720p MKV files won't play on the PS3. They play on the Epic though beautifully.
I don't get the point really. If I'm already at home, why not just stream my TBytes of media from PC to xbox/ps3/wd tv live/whatever? Why go through the hassle of transferring media to phone and then trying to stream it back from phone?
If you already have a ps3 at home (and I assume you're at home trying to stream from Epic to ps3), why not just run ps3 media server on your PC (or playback if on a Mac) and stream all your media that way?

because now you dont have to be at your house to share a video.. as long as it isnt an .mkv file.
or you could record a video on your epic and then instantly stream it to your tv wirelessly.
is everyone gonna use this... nah not even 50% of people id say.. but its a nice lil option.. not sure if id prefer this over hdmi out or not.. its close.
anyone have any links to any DLNA converter boxes or TV's that possibly carry it. I could only find Sony's(expensive) with DLNA.

You dont have to select anything in all share just opening it will make it apear in the ps3 video list. Also maybe I am wrong but since the ps3 is doing the playing only media supported by it will work and mkv is not supported on the ps3.

What if you already have a ton of media on your epic, it does come with a 16 GB sd card. I personally have about 8-9 gigs of media on there right now and the ability to stream direct to anything is great.
was anybody able to get video shot on the epic out onto PS3? When i try this it says it's an invalid video format. Works great on samsung tv's w/ DLNA though.
I was able to get it to work, but not from the epic. I had to get it done through the pc for the video to stream. Everything else works fine through allshare

I have a Samsung Vibrant and this worked perfectly for me! Thank you!
Also, MKV's stream from my Mac to my PS3 just fine.. haven't tried streaming from Android to PS3 though..
I'm tryin to set up my macbook as a media receiver so i can stream videos from my phone to the screen on my laptop but i've been unsuccessful. laptops are set up for media serving out of the box now a days. i dont have a dnla tv or anything. nor is my xbox wifi. i've used it on a friends ps3 but was unable to use the beam option as my phone didnt read his ps3. his ps3 read my phone and he just d/l the movie onto his ps3.
i'm just wondering if any1 is or has an idea to stream video to a laptop from a phone.
Well, AFAIK, it's all in the software. On a PC at least, you need to have some sort of media player running and in the foreground. For instance, Windows Media Player and XBMC are DLNA-aware apps. I'm not familiar with what media players have such clients built in on the OSX platform.
RAWR! Please post question in Q&A section. Thank you
Out of curiosity, I just tried this. It works fine. Music, Pictures, and videos work perfect. I'm using windows 7 ultimate. Media share found my laptop right away.
I have been looking in to this, as my Xoom comes in tomorrow, and Im just wondering if someone has been successful in streaming video to their Xoom.
I have a Tversity server running on my PC - any apps that can browse and stream from the TVERSITY library?
I have seen an app like gmote 2.0, and UpNp app - do these work to stream movies and TV shows from my computer server to the XOOM?
Sorry if this is already discussed elsewhere, I did a few searches but nothing is specific for the xoom that I saw.
I dont care about 3g streaming - just want wifi streaming.
Basically - recommendations for MEDIA SERVER ON PC (like tversity) to stream movies onto android.
I'm assuming your pc is on your home network (duh) and you are willing to share the folders. Use cifsmanager and mount the shared folder to the xoom, then with any media player on the xoom it will see the folder, open it and can play the files. No need to set up a server, just have the pc on. It will even work off a nas. Thats how i'm running it, you can find a thread started by me on this subject with how I got it working.

Thanks for the reply
Was wondering if the CIFSmanager works without rooting? I dont think im gonna root right away, and I wanted a solution in the meantime
UPnPlay works great for what you are looking to do.
I'm downloading movies on my Acer a500 using aDownloader.
Some of the movies are a little choppy when I got to play then with the MX Video player.
So I want to transfer then to another source to play them.
My PS3 would be ideal, since its already hooked up to my TV.
How would I go about doing this?
Is it even possible?
Thanks!
You Could use some sort of mediaserver app and stream movies to your ps3. As long as the ps3 can play the format it Should be ok.
Otherwise use a usb drive and just transfer the files onto the ps3. Just remember to use å format the ps3 can play.

You can use the stock media server that comes with your tablet. Your PS3 should recognize your tablet then and be able to stream. At least mine does. Make sure though on your PS3 you go to Videos tab to stream videos. You can not stream videos under other tabs for Pictures or Audio even though you can see the files.

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
