1. is it possible to connect your phone (like usb mass storage) to your computer via wi-fi through my network? if so, how? i can sort of get streaming to work through allshare and windows media player but i can not move files , only stream.
2. i have not used samsung media hub yet because i dont want to sit there and watch a movie on a 4" screen. so my question here is , if you rent a movie on the media hub, can it be played on a computer either by usb or streaming?
to help answer these questions, heres my set up:
phone: sprint ( usa) samsung epic. no mods have been done to my phone, everything is factory.
PC: quadcore cpu , geforce gtx 275, 4gb ram, running windows 7 64bit. my pc is hooked up to a westinghouse 47" 1080p monitor.
Search for "xda samba android" in google. Should be like the first link.
I use Websharing and WiFi File Explorer. Look them up.
those apps you mentioned work great for photos ive taken or videos ive recorded, however it does not work with media hub. i tried streaming and it will not find the movie on my device , i hooked my phone up directly to my pc and the movie file is not supported by windows. so im still looking for a way to watch media hub files on my computer. any suggestions?
Nope..Media Hub has the DRM :/...and All share is not compatible..so that ends that.
Hi guys,
i'm currently quite confused. My TV has a USB port that I can playback videos stored on a memory stick. This also worked with videos stored on micro sd card in my HTC Sensation when I plug the phone into my TV via USB.
However, when I plug in my Nexus 7, it can't find anything.
I tried it on a Sony N100 media player. Again nothing.
I then tried it on a WDTV Live. Again nothing.
I then plugged it into my laptop, went into the folder on my Nexus 7 where i store my movies, and clicked to play it on my laptop.
Instead of playing it, it began to copy the video file to somewhere on my laptop.
What is going on here? Is there anyway to get it to playback via USB connection onto a TV?
My Nexus 7 is unrooted, and am hoping for some kind of work around.
Whilst I primarily bought the tablet to watch programs on the train whilst commuting, I also wanted to be able to load some videos on it, take it to a friend's and play it back on their tv.
As it always worked fine on my android phone, I just assumed it would work on the Nexus 7.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

The Nexus 7 isn't a UMS device. Which means that when you plug it into something, it DOESN'T look like a USB flash drive (no FAT/FAT32/whatever filesystem). In order to access files on it, you'd need a host device that supports MTP (or PTP). Windows has this support built in, but I imagine most devices that don't run windows are lacking that ability. My MacBook won't even read files off of my N7 without "Android File Transfer" (and there's no MacFUSE driver available).

I take it that even rooting the N7 wouldn't help here then?

I remember seeing an advanced option in some CM9/10 builds on my Nexus S to enable UMS, but I can't comment as to whether that feature exists/works on the N7. I'm (shock!) running unrooted stock.
Does anyone know how I can stream video content (.avi or MP4 or even the occasional MKV) from my nexus 7 to my Mac HTPC and watch it on my TV? I used to just connect HDMI when I had an Asus TF700T OR if I download something on my Macbook Air laptop I can connect wirelessly Mac to Mac.
I have tried a couple things I thought might work like Skifta but I can’t get it to work for me and it seems like it is a one way stream from mac to nexus. I know I can download from nexus to mac (both wired and wireless) and then play but it would be nice to just stream and delete the file on the tablet when I am done.
Any ideas?
Nobody? Cant be done apparently.....
HI guys,
I just wanna know, how can i connect my device to tv?
Is there wired connection? what about wireless connection?
What are the things i need?
For example, my tv is Samsung LED Series 5?
What are the things i can do after connecting:
- can i access my device as a storage device?
- can i play a movie to my device and have it displayed in my tv?
Thanks in advance
With the app Mediahouse (pro) you can stream movies from your tablet to you tv (netwerk).
you can choose to stream content to your tablet of from your tablet to your tv (if i'm correct)
New or old n7? This is easily found anywhere online. Old n7 can't mirror it's screen to the TV except with a mod for miracast (this mod is new). This mod doesn't work on 4.3 yet and requires supported hardware on the TV too.
What does work is dnla or upnp, which sends local media to the TV - movies, music, photos that are stored locally not streamed. Many apps support this and lots of hardware does too.
New n7, you can use slim port cable to mirror the screen

I have the old one, there is no something like adapter, converter, cable that can connect the device to the tv? i cant seem to find any on mr. google, and yeah i saw that the new nexus 7 is capable of that, thanks
Chromecast may solve your problem if you can get your hands on one.

Has anyone tried connecting an external USB BluRay/DVD ROM drive to Nexus Player via OTG? I have Kodi installed on the Nexux Player, would this configuration allow me play DVD or Bluray? Would Nexus provide enough power to the drive?
