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.

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..
Currently 2.1 "All Share" will not play mkv's via lan.
Can a froyo user test the following methods.
Using a network file manager app like Astro, are you able to play a MKV from lan?
Via Allshare can you play a MKV from lan?
My Synology 107+ contains 3 small test files : one avi(Xvid), one mpg(MPEG2) and og one mkv(x264)
My I9000 JPK with OCLF could not play any of them!!!
I think they all worked on JM8!!!

I tried avi format with my Philipf 46PFL9704, and it works fine!
But Mkv and default video it doesen't open 'cos it hasn't good codecs..
No luck with mkv or xvid (avi) through allshare on jpk.
Also its worth mentioning that the same files I tested play perfectly directly on the phone..

It has nothing to do with codecs. Copy the same file to your device and it will play fine. It is a problem with AllShare, and it seems like it is still broken in the Froyo update. Which doesn't surprise me since AllShare is not part of Android.
Guys, as I understand, Allshare is only used to transfer files to a player. Playing mkv or anything has to do with the player's capability. Firmware won't change the experience!

I rename my .mkv files to .avi.
Media Player 11 then picks them up as shareable, and I can stream them without problems via AllShare to my i9000.
Only problem is, you cannot seek, so you have to watch from the beginning.
I've streamed MKVs from my phone to my Western Digital TV box, with JF3 and JM2...
my allshare cannot find my laptop after I upgraded to 2.2 JPM.. anyone else have this issue?
I have reflashed and it still has this problem..
I also have a problem where the phone will connect to one of my routers at home, but will not connect to the repeater bridge router in my room which has identical settings as my main router..
Along with Allshare not working, these two features were working fine before, and now after I flashed froyo JPM, it stopped working..
When I tried going back to stock firmware, it still didnt work..
Any ideas guys? Thanks!
I'm having same problems.
Upgraded my Samsung Galaxy to Froyo and now can't play .mkv files via allshare anymore. This is so frustrating, I thought Froyo was all singing and going to make the Android device the ultimate weapon. I have tried other andriod .mkv players and all have the same problem <media not recognised>
Hi,
actually, after the update, AllShare is more or less completely broken. First of all, a firmware upgrade will most likely not help, because AllShare is not part of android at all.
Regarding another post: A media server does not only offer the video to a network source, it obeys to a certain standard (DLNA), which is why you will always find your MKVs being transcoded to some sort of MPEG stream before playing. The Media SERVER has all the work providing ready-to-go video, most likely with as little compression as possible. DLNA ist not just a samba share. It is way more than that.
Can anyone confirm the MP3 behavior I am experiencing? MP3s play fine for the first 30 seconds, somewhere around that they start skipping around and finally stop when played through my PS3 media client.
Samsung Galaxy S i9000, lagfixed, JPO.
Cheers.

This is a real pain in the bum.. there must be a way to get the mkv files to stream from my server to my phone. It worked perfectly on the Android 2.1 version : (
I wonder who makes Allshare and if they are aware of the problem? Alternatively does anyone know any other program that can stream .mkv files to the Galaxy? I really don't want to start having to load an 8gb file on to the card to play it : /
There's another thread on this in the Vibrant forum. No news there either.

Hmm never tried Allshare but regarding Astro I've never gotten it to play anything from a network share, always had to copy to the SD card first. That does take an annoyingly long time so I'll watch for progress on this as well (for whenever I actually get a working SGS back in my hands ).
Try using ES File Explorer as it seems better than Astro and has its own video player which streams from FTP and file shares OK for me.

Yes, but it lacks tracking (skipping in a file) and also doesn't support MKV.

AllShare is a DLNA program. It is capable of functioning both as a client and as a server. It sounds like you want to play back PC files on your phone. For this you would need something acting as a DLNA server. If your NAS doesn't support this then you could install a server program on something else and point it to your NAS for content. This could be a spare computer, a device specifically made for this, or even some routers.
Try to use another media server like PS3 Media server or tvirsity. DNLA will not support MKV files.
Using PS3 Media server I can stream mkv to my ps3 and my Samsung LCD tv that supports DNLA.
I'm unable to play media from my PC on my Atrix using DLNA. I get a message that reads " Sorry, internal error happened. The media file cannot be streaming played." Any ideas?
I'm able to stream and copy mp4s to my device no problem from a NAS. Most likely is a file compatibility issue. I couldn't play mpeg2s, but xvids played fine. Protected content wouldn't play either but that's to be expected.
My Xvids won't play.
I was having problems accessing PlayOn through DLNA.
UPDATE: Using the PlayOn Android apps works.

Sorry, the file i was looking at had Xvid in it. It was actually an avi.

I can't use the DLNA with my Logitech Revue and with my PS3 I can only stream MP4 files. AVI's which play on my device can't be sent over DLNA yet if those files are on my PS3 they can be played.
If you can spare the CPU cycles, transcoding video through TVersity works great. So far I've had best results transcoding to WMV9. I haven't found anything it can't handle yet, and my video archive is a mishmash of containers and codecs.
I can stream an x264 mkv 1080p source to the Atrix as qhd wmv9 and it looks fantastic.
Does require a lot of CPU on the box running TVersity, so not a necessarily great solution for those currently using a nas or other embedded device for a DLNA server.

anyone able to get DLNA to work? I'm trying to stream some moves in .avi from my computer to my atrix by using DLNA, i can hear but no pictures. Does anybody know why?
What video codec is in your avi's? I was able to play most xvid avi's with other DLNA streamers like Fuppes before I switched to transcoding everything through TVersity.

Q: How did you get DLNA to play MKVs over TVersity streaming? Everytime i try to do that it says the media file can not be played. Before I had it Configured for my Xbox 360 so while the video of mkvs wouldn't show up, audio was crystal clear, now it only plays AVIs not MKVs not even audio always gives the media file cannot be played error. Can you post all your setting for tversity? I'd Appreciate that very much!
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.

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 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 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
