I have a 56" Samsung DLP HDTV HL56A650.
I know the TV has wiselink but I am pretty sure not wiselink+.
I have hooked my phone into the wiselink usb slot and successfully viewed pictures and music that is stored on the phone. As far as I can tell right now, it will not play .mkv videos, but does support x264.
I also can't seem to find out how to hook my TV up to the Ethernet which leads me to believe I don't have the + with my wiselink.
Anyone else have a Samsung TV that they can do this on?
Maybe wrong forum? This is not a TV help forum.
Yeah, wiselink has nothing to do with the phone... it just uses the SD card as mass storage.
Wireless DLNA is what the SGS is all about..
i believe Kies has video convertor for the .mkv files
I have a Samsung LN46A950. I have it plugged into my network via ethernet, and when I start the DLNA server on my Vibrant it shows up as a server on my TV. I'm able to view pictures and the Avatar trailer this way, but I can't play video. Apparently my TV doesn't support the correct CODEC to play Vibrant's video files.
It's a non-issue for me since I have an HTPC connected to my home theater that can obviously handle any format. I still kinda wish my TV could play the files, though, just because it'd be cool.
Thanks dex. Thats the kinda resoonse I was lookin for. I dont particularly need help with my tv, was just interested in seeing if anyone else has had success with playing videos from their vibrant to their samsung tv.

This is probably just a standard feature of android now, but I've just come across it recently after upgrading to a smart TV. It's just so easy now to watch my vids and photo slideshows at a whim on my 50" plasma. Another great use I've discovered for my Note.
How do you "throw" videos to your TV?

Using Allshare
Do you have a Samsung TV? The only way I know of to "throw" media via AllShare is with a Sammy TV or using the AllShare dongle connected to the TV.

So, let's try to understand this... I tried AllShare as a server on my PC, I thought it sucked to I installed Twonky instead.
Can I still get content "pushed" to my (older, Samsung) TV from the tablet?
My TV is a Panasonic 50GT50. I would assume this works on any `smart ` TV as long as it's dlna certified, so that should include all of em.
When looking at pics in my photo gallery I now have an extra button visible on screen because a dlna device is within reach. When I touch that, the photo I'm viewing appears on the TV in a few seconds.
It's the same with videos.
It's great for downloaded HD music videos from YouTube, or my photo slideshows I'm making in Windows movie maker (a great program).

This is true. Dlna makes it possible. Works with my Samsung blueray player hooked to My LG t.v. I couldn't get the allshare thing working. Then I discovered the dlna way. Same thing really.
I gone to look see if this can be done with my ps3 I want that option......, lol

i use BubbleUpnp on my android and XBMC on a RaspberryPi to throw videos, music and Fotos to my TV.
If you happen to have a decent android phone with hdmi connection to tv, you can uses bubleupnp (both devices), to "throw" stuff and junk, if you dont have anything else.

With mirrop sender/mirrorop reciever app, you can do the equivalent of allsharecast(with lag), where your able to mirror your android devices, great for pics, vids, slow paced games etc etc etc...........ofcourse, ive not got my hdmi cable yet, so im assuming theirs no issues with connecting phone to tv, and mirror my note 10.1 to tv, via phone?

My t.v. doesn't have any wireless capabilities. It is an LG though. How I got it connected was through my Samsung blueray player. Which is connected Its wifi capable. But only if you plug in a wifi USB adapter. I have my router Ethernet plug plugged into the back of blueray. The Samsung player has dlna and that allshare cast. But I couldn't figure how to get allshare to work from the blueray end. So since I knew the player and the note had dlna capabilities, I played around with getting it connected. I previously had no experience using Dlna. All I knew that it was something having to do with connecting devices wirelessly or whatever.
How I got it connected? Well going into settings of blueray and in settings of the note. In your case it'll be TV settings where dlna option is at and your note. On your t.v., I'm guessing, as long as you have its wireless capabilities on or connected to your network, youngood to go on that side. On the note, you go into settings. Then more. Then in media share section press "Nearby devices/share your media with other devices" . In there, check the box that says File sharing. Depending on how much content you have saved in your note, it might take a minute or two to sync data. Then go into shared contents and make sure videos, music, and pictures box is checked. It might sync again if they weren't already checked. Then look in "allowed devices". You should see your t.v. name or whatever show up in there. I can't remember if I had to initially accept it or not. Checking the box will only bring up option to delete that device for me now. In my case, I see my blueray player name in there. In upload from other devices, I put "always allow".
Now once you have it set up on tablet side, you should be able to see the option or icon for your tablet appear on t.v. for me I have to press other devices on my blueray and ill see my tablet icon. I click on it and then they both connect. I can access all my video, music, or picture folders and view the contents. Kinda like an HDMI connection. Except dlna only lets you explore clthe content mentioned on the device only. It doesn't mirror everything like an HDMI connection. Like I can't access my apps nnor whatever. Only stored media content on device. Beware though when watching some downloaded movies. Some of these Movies have some kind of failsafe knowledge of knowing you watching a new downloaded movie. For example I have Argo downloaded. It'll let me watch it for a few Minutes. Then it'll stop and say device not authorized to watch this movie..lmfao it detects it by the device recognizing that the movie is in 5.1 Dolby or whatever. Since alot of the movies are screened versions or whatever. People on ps3 watching certain downloaded movies have same issue also. The only work around is reformatting the movie so it won't be detected. Its weird because I can play that movie on my note with no issue. I guess that only occurs when trying to watch it through a new t.v. or blueray player. It may even be built in, but I think its internet connection detects certain things in the movie and can tell that its a new movie that hasn't been released yet or on DVD and you trying to watch a downloaded digital version of it. Which is pretty smart. I can't be mad about that. Ill just watch those certain movies on my tablet which will play them regardless. Its not all downloaded movies. Only certain newer ones depending on what version you downloaded of it. Just a heads up. Experiment and see.
I also have an HDMI adapter for my note. It'll connect to this LG t.v. BUT for some reason the sound won't play through the t.v. or my home theatre setup. Its weird. I've read some t.v.'s be picky like that. I might try another HDMI cable to see if it makes any difference. Now I had another 39in. Flatscreen that I returned. As I didn't need it since I found a better deal on bigger one. But my HDMI played fine on it. Audio and video. Ill be OK though. It still connects the video to t.v. with no issue. So it'll mirror no problem. But when I play a game LR something through HDMI, the sound only comes out through the tablet itself. Doesn't come out the t.v. or theatre sound system. I wish my t.v. or pioneer system had a 3.5mm input jack for audio. As I would connect them that way, audio wise. That's how I connect my audio from my SG3 to my car stereo. I use a double sided 3.5mm male plug to plug them both up. My t.v. or pioneer doesn't have that jack. I haven't tried the coaxel method yet. But I'm not pressed about mirroring anymore. As long as I can access my media content, I'm good. I do miss being able to pull up crackle app and watch movies that way through HDMI. It ain't no good if the sound only coming out the tablet and movie picture on the t.v. lol don't want to watch movie that way. I'm looking for a bigger and newer t.v. so I'm sure my HDMI will work completely on it. But I can play games like Moddern Combat4 through HDMI and it plays fine on t.v. no lag or issues. Only thing is is that the sound to it only comes out my tablet SMH
Good luck getting yours connected. Let me know how it goes.
Thanx
It worked for me today.
Very nice.

I do this via imediashare app. Use it on my s2 and Note tab.
Will this work with netflix(streaming), or only local files?

I was able to successfully use the imediashare app. Very easy but why is allshare not playing nicely with the ps3? I'd love to use an app that I already have if I can. Anyone else have luck with allshare and ps3?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium
Maybe allshare is coded to work between Allshare enabled devices. Maybe they need to exchange a handshake code? Be good to get an allshare app for the ps3 and xbox.
I cannot get imediashare to hook up with the xbox though. In fact I can't get any thing to work with xbox.
How well does dlna allshare work when looking at a 1080p high profile movie?
If it is perfect for high profile movies I wonder why we can not mirror our tablet screen with dlna.
Hi all,
Since the price of the Nexus player has dropped considerably, I'm thinking I may get one + a HD Homerun prime for my father for Christmas, but I have a few questions. I already have a Nvidia Shield TV, so I know how Android TV works and it's limitations. The only thing I haven't done is use the live TV apps for watching TV on it.
Is watching TV on it using a HD Homerun prime pretty painless once configured? I should note that we live in Oregon and the cable provider here is Comcast. In terms of channels, he really doesn't watch much (mostly Fox News, ESPN, HBO, and local channels). The big one that is a MUST though is Pac-12 network - my sister plays softball for the University of Washington and Pac-12 network is necessary to watch all the games we can't make it to. My understanding is that DRM channels won't work with the live TV app - is there any other way to view them on the device? I should also note that DVR functionality isn't a must have feature if it's a pain to get it working.
I'm not worried about it being too tech heavy for my dad to use - he's already got Ethernet running throughout the house (this device would be connected via Ethernet) and has done OTA TV before using Windows Media Center & my Xbox 360. However, if it isn't more seamless to browse and watch TV on than his cablebox, I'm not sure he'll actually want to make the change.
How can i connect my nexus 6p to tv?
As i read, my phone does not support the mhl, but if I use an adapter micro usb to type c , then can I use the mhl to hdmi to connect the phone to tv?
Thank you!

Unfortunately I don't think itll work--mhl not supported. Your only option is probably to get a chromecast, or I have a nexus player that performs the same function--mirror display, cast.
Both can be had for pretty cheap, especially if you go with a used one on ebay. More money than an adapter, but not unreasonably more. Plus you can stay seated instead of walking to the TV.
So my only choice is the chromecast, isn't it? I have some questions about it. Can I watch on tv everything which i am watching on my phone? For example if one webpage have a video (non in youtube) and i open it via bsplayer or video gallery or something else, can i watch it on full screen on tv?
Thank you for helping.

I dont own a chromecast, and I use fire tvs as my main streaming devices (lousy casting functionality except youtube & netflix). But I have played around with casting on nexus player. Id check to make sure it does what you want before buying but rule of thumb--if you see a cast icon in an android app/within the video box itll cast that video to the chromecast device. OR if you go into settings>display>cast --you can choose your chromecast device and itll mirror your phone screen to TV. Good luck

Yes you can I can confirm this. I have Chromecast, I just mirror my phone to the screen and everything I do on my phone it shows on the Chromecast connected to the TV
I just got my 6p,i have my oneplus 2 and nexus 7 which has no problem with casting on my tv.Unfortunately google has disabled to "enable wireless display" option. I heard you can enable it if you root you're phone but for now i dont want to root my phone yet.
Hi Guys,
I try to clone Netflix be cause the mibox has a login stored (from people i don't see anymore) which i want to use on the philips tv.
Swift backup doesn't see netflix. I thought i'll backup Netflix whith Swift and restore it on the Philips TV.
If i'm correct i can't root the mibox without loosing 4k netflix quality.
Since you guys are the professionals i'm curious about your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
Well this seems wrong. Why would you want to do something like that anyway.
Well, we have one dumb TV with the mibox for watching cable TV on that TV. The mibox needs to be hooked on that dumb TV to watch television. We bever watch netflix on that one.
The other TV is smart and in the main livingroom. Everytime we want to watch something on netflix (very rarely) we need to fysically move the mibox (just for that one time).
That 4 screen UHD netflix subscription is too expensive for the occasionally viewing
