Hey everybody. I just got my Galaxy two days back. It's amazingly fast
However, I've been having problems with the DLNA software. I cannot get a single file to play either on the galaxy or on a pc.
I've tried three different software solutions on my server (PS3 Media Server, Tversity and FUPPES) and non of them worked and neither does streaming from the galaxy to WMP. It just says "Unable to play"
Any ideas?
Darkstriker, you are not alone, as a number of people have been having problems with DLNA. I have streaming working from one machine and not the other and yet they appear to be pretty much identitcal on the same network.
The second machine had been working, but then stopped. The only difference was an Office installation, and I cant see why that has any bearing on it.

This is not really a workable answer.... especially when you are trying to use DLNA with a TV.
I have had and continue to have problems connecting to any DLNA devices.
Basically the Galaxy S doesn't show any Media Devices in the list to choose from.
TravUK above has tried many times to help me sort this out but despite checking this, that and the other the GS just does not want to show any devices.
I managed to view video's and photo's from my iMac through DLNA, using MediaLink (PS3 UPnP server)
It didn't work with all video's, but the Samsung Galaxy S sample video's linked in another thread streamed fine.
Hi,
I've managed to get wmv's and divx avi's to play on the PS3 through allshare but can't get it to connect to the xbox 360 whatsoever. It won't play the vids captured with the phones camera and also it seems picky about exactly which version of wmv the clip has been encoded with.
Cheers,
Mike

Do you mean that you can't stream to x360 at all? or you mean the file formats, codecs?
Streaming to the x360 requires running it on extender mode.. you need to have Windows Media Center on your pc and use the code the x360 gives you to complete the set up with it.
X360 has an optional media update that will allow it to run more formats. you can find it under the videogames marketplace>Game addons.
Hiya,
I can stream\browse the phone from the PS3 directly but it's quite picky about the formats.
Can't see the phone at all on the xbox360 and couldn't see any way of locating the phone from the xbox interface although the phone can see the xbox when you try to share a clip. I was surprised that the xbox was supposed to support the phone sharing but it's been mentioned in several reviews of the galaxy s so thought I must be doing something wrong.
Cheers,
Mike

I don't know if you can push media from the x360 to SGS. The problem however doesn't seem from the SGS.. its probably the X360.
Agreed, although i'm trying to stream from the SGS to the xbox I think it's still most likely the 360 having the issues..
I'm having a similar problem. My Galaxy can see the xbox 360 but the 360 can't see it. Plsk1n, could you give a bit more detail on the steps you used to get it working?
Failing that, I may just buy the TV out cable for the phone

The Xbox doesn't come as DLNA ready device out of the box. You need to setup a Windows Media Center Environment on it and on your PC and then use the xbox360 as an extender device to the PC environment.
Note: you don't need to keep windows media center running if you want to push media to your xbox360.
Here are the steps
1- Install Windows Media Center on your PC.
2- Run the Media Center setup on your xbox 360, when you start it it will tell you to write down a code for installation with your PC... write the code down.
3- Run your Windows Media Center on your PC and go down to tasks>add extender... you will use the code you wrote from the xbox in the process.
4- Complete setting up the xbox360 as the extender then check the options/preferences to allow the x360 to accept pushed media from other devices.
On my side, the PS3 ca see my phone but I didn't manage to play anything on teh PS
I tried divx, mp3, jpeg photo and it can't play them
I can stream from my QNAP nas to the GS almost everything, except 720p HD videos (tv shows). Sometimes however the GS simply can't see the nas, even with a strong wifi signal.
I can see my MacBook Pro and my DirecTV DVR through All Share but haven't been able to get antying to download, play or stream. I'd really like to be able to download media from the DirecTV DVR and take it on the road to go.
I can see my laptop, but can't actually see any files. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? It's annoying, as I know it's probably something stupid that I am doing (like not setting up sharing properly on my lappy). I haven't even tried it the other way around (laptop streaming from phone).

Whats not being made clear is the fact that you have to BE in windows media center mode on the XBOX360 when you use allshare. What will happen is that "xbox360 media center" will show up as a device in allshare AND THEN you can push media FROM your phone TO your xbox360.

It's not working that way for me. The Xbox360 option disappears from AllShare when I'm in Media Center Extender mode on the Xbox (connected to the Media Center PC). Where are the options he's talking about? On the Xbox, or on the PC?
DNLA works fine here! not with PS3 media server but with the stock "streaming" option in windows media player! i can even control the player from my phone!
And i can see the DLNA server from my laptop!
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.

Hi everyone, just got done setting up my new Shield TV with Kodi to stream media files from my unRaid NAS! I purchased the Shield because my old WDTV Live was dying and there did not appear to be many options for media boxes that could stream network content without transcoding with Plex or similar. My unRaid server uses a very old Atom CPU and doesn't have the horsepower to transcode 720p video or above.
Setting up Kodi was pretty easy, although it wasn't able to install it from the Play store. I had to go the route of loading the APK from a USB stick. All of my networked media seems to play flawlessly!
So now onto my question, what is everyone using their Shield for? I've got mine in the bedroom and I'm curious to see what else I can do with it. Out of all my Android games (I have a lot because I've gone through 3 android phones and 2 android tablets) only Wayward Souls was available for Android TV. I some experience with PS1 and SNES emulators from my tablet, but it seems the Shield is much more capable.
My general household includes 2 android phones, an android tablet, a gaming PC with an nvidia graphics card, the unraid server, and an HTPC in the living room. Solid AC Wifi connection between the Shield and the rest of the network.
Throw some ideas at me - what else should I do with the Shield?
Welcome.
I'm using my Shield as a main media center hooked up to my TV in the living room.
I do some android gaming sometimes, but there aren't enough titles i like (hoping this will change)
once nop releases the NTFS and samba kernel, i'm planning to use it as a NAS with a 2.5" usb 3.0 hdd connected to it.
RetroboxTV is pretty sweet for game emulation.
We use our Shield as our primary media device. It does everything we want minus native WatchESPN. We have an hdhomerun prime that we use with the Live Channels app for live TV.
We have a 2 TB external HDD hooked up with movies and TV shows that we watch through Kodi.
What else are you looking for?

Get sideload launcher, it will give you a wider range of apps you can run. You can also install amazon underground (first download and install the Chrome .apk to browse to it). IMO, ES file explorer provides a lot of the network search functions that I used to use Kodi for, so that removes some software layers. MXPLayer seems to be the most capable video player I've tested.
Mount as fileshare

Hey can you help me out? I cannot figure out how to mount a network share into the filesystem.. ive tried using cifsmanager and tutorials but to no avail. can you please help?
just ordered my Shield TV
Relatively new here, roamed forums and maybe posted once or twice. Just ordered my NVidia shield tv and cant wait to get my hands on it! One question that I have yet to get a concrete answer to is can you run amazon prime video on it? Currently have an AFTV second gen and love it but always wanted more power out of it. Think im good with the shield tv but I do need to have prime video. Can someone give me a concrete answer? I've read through tons of threads out there and seems some people say you can while I've read others who say its a no go. HELP PLEASE!!!
P.S. thank you in advance!!!!

You CAN run prime video. However, the current workaround will not give you you 1080p (or 4K). You'll be limited to 720p. http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/amazon-prime-video-demand-android-tv-t3278778
OK everyone so I've been using my Shield for a bit now and here are my quick thoughts. I haven't rooted or installed ROMs or done anything else. The most complicated thing I've done is put APKs on a flash drive and clicked "OK" in ES File Explorer to install them. I've also had to use a computer with the Play store to install a few games/apps.
1) ES File Explorer is OK but the user interface is very difficult to navigate (not intuitive)
2) Getting a PS1 and SNES emulator up and running were easy
3) Netflix, PBS, and CBS Sports are the only native video streaming apps I can get to work because I have Comcast/Xfinity and they hate Android TV. However, CBS Sports is only clips, not full programming, I find that pretty useless.
4) HBO Go and Showtime Anytime work with built in app casting functionality from my Android phone
5) Fox Sports Go works by casting my phone through Android (not within the app)
6) There are very few games in the Play store that seem to support Shield TV. So far I've only got Wayward Souls and Reaper.
Questions:
1) I've got Retro Arch and Arc Browser installed because I read about them a lot. However, I can't figure out what to actually do with either of those apps.
2) What other Android/play store games?
3) What other video streaming services (I have Comcast/Xfinity)
4) What emulator next? I'm thinking PSP would be good... anything else?
5) Any other apps or cool uses I should look at?

1) There is a touchpad on the bottom of the game controller. It's hidden, but if you run your finger over the gray area above the volume control it should respond as a mouse pointer. That should help you navigate some apps easier.
2) Implosion (play store), Sonic CD & Goat Simulator (Chrome.apk -> Amazon underground -> amazon Apps), and some of the more ambitious MMO like War Thunder and Vendetta should work well.
3) HBOGo should work from your phone by casting, as will a lot of other video apps. FoxNow, WatchESPN, NBC, xfinity TV Go are some others I've tested successfully.
4)
5) sideload launcher if you don't already have it. Kodi is good for live TV from external devices (i.e. HDHomeRun Connect), but I've always found its navigation to be more complicated than it needs to be.
So i'd like to sideload a game onto my Shield TV, is this possible? I know it's possible with Apps, but this is a full game. Thanks! (Game is Witcher3)
if its an .exe no but if its in a format that can work with an emulator then you can test it.
In case of an exe, what you can do is stream from your PC the game using an app like Splashtop (it supports hardware accel) to remote control your PC or if your have a compatible Nvidia Card on your PC you can use the Gamestream feature by Nvidia in your Shield TV.

I don't know about Splashtop, but the native way to stream on the Shield TV is using its native app GameStream, if you have an nVidia Card.
Beside that, you can't sideload an .exe on the Shield, and generally on Android. And you wouldn't have the computational power to run a game on it like The Witcher 3, natively.
Have a nice day
was this a serious question?
First of all, you can't run windows games on Android devices. Second, this device doesn't even have the performance to run that game.
Third, the shield tv is equipped to stream windows game from your computer to your device, or from the cloud to your device. You can only stream PC games to the Nvidia Shield (tv). Windows Applications won't work either. Unless there's some x86 emulator somewhere.
