Allshare and DLNA?

I want to stream a few movies from my tablet to my Samsung LED t.v like I can with my SGS2, but it seems as if the tab 10.1 doesn't have allshare.
I've googled it and found that it's supposed to have DLNA and allshare. What can I do?

Think it's a waiting game. Should get it from Samsung as an update. Eventually.
That's what I've heard anyway...

The gtab 10.1 came with stock HC3.1. Allshare/Dnla is a sammy product that requires the Touchwiz libraries. Expect to see it once TW4 officially drops for the tablet.

Well, just to keep this thread alive, where is AllShare? Now, even after the official release of TouchWiz, still no AllShare.

The iMediaShare app will do the same, although it's not tablet-ready. I've been using it to send TED videos to my TV this afternoon. Free.

i use skifta. it works like allshare and will stream mkv files too so long as there is a player capable of playing mkv files on your tablet.

I'm not sure about the permissions with that app?
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITYAllows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.

So long as your tablet isn't a phone I wouldn't worry about it. I've got it installed mine, and although the UI doesn't stretch to fill the big screen, the media lists do. When Allshare shows up, and if it works with my LG TV then I'll delete imediashare. Only suggested it as a placeholder until Samsung gets around to providing a solution.
Still have no idea about the suggestion by a salesclerk who stated that the Tablet could play your TV's content. The only way I get that done is if I'm lucky enough to find the same show on the network's web site and play it from there.

Media players need to know when the phone is in use so you aren't hearing asain midget porn in the background while talking to grandma..

Interesting, the market tells me that imediashare isn't compatible with my Tab?

Doesn't work. Starting services never ends

I didn't have any trouble downloading and running it, but it isn't written for tablets as the small app UI will attest. It works though, at least between my LG smart TV and my Tab.

Allshare.apk
Here you go - put it in the system/apps folder.

Hi all!
My comes with Allshare, but it works only with laptop/pc. Unfortunatelly, it could not communicate with my Asus o!play mini plus media player.
Any idea?
Thanks,

For streaming movies, photos from your PC along with several Tab resident services, (YouTube, Shoutcast Flickr, Picasa and others), check out ZappoTV. The Android version is new and a work in progress but the iOS version is pretty solid.
You will need a compatible device attached to your TV or AV Receiver. I use the WDTV Live Plus but there are a number of others that work very well. You will also need a media server installed on your PC, (I use Tversity).
With this setup, I can fire up the Tab, turn my AV receiver to the appropriate input and control everything from my comfy leather chair. I am not sure if this app will stream content stored on the Tab itself but just about anything on the PC is available.
For playing music on a stereo system connected to a media server, the Android version of ZappoTV is not as good as it needs to be. A better app if you just want to use the Tab to manage and play your PC-based music library is 2Player.
Now if someone would figure out a way to control Pandora with the Tab and send the output to a media device like my WDTV, I would be a really happy camper.

[Q] Looking for Allshare or similar app

I know AllShare is a Samsung application. I have it on my Galaxy S phone, and I have found it quite usefull for streaming music and video in my house to my phone. It is also on the Galaxy Tab, I believe, although I have never seen or used one. I would like to be able to use this sort of functionality for the A500.
Is there a pulled AllShare APK from the Galaxy Tab that works and is available for the A500? Or are there other good DLNA apps available? The only one I have found so far is DoubleTwist's AirTwist, which will share the music/video on the android device to other DLNA devices, but cannot play from other devices. Any suggestions?

check your app drawer
the acer tablet has dlna server built in..
I have used it but just to test to see if it works. and it does..
the app is acer clear.fi.. it should be in your app drawer.. it works with another app on your tablet called Media Server..
Search the android market for aVia.. its great and works with nearly all media types..

A like Bubble uPNP

I think he was looking for a client, not server.
To the OP: BubbleUPnP ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp&feature=search_result ) is apparently a very capable DLNA-client. I have not tried it myself so I cannot say anything from personal experience.

I use BubbleUPnP, great app.

Clear.fi does both. it uses the media server to share files on the tab.. Clear.fi app will find all dlna servers running on the same network.. mine will see this Notebook i am typing on right now.. Bonnie's Desktop. Our Linux Server in the basement. My Desktop in bedroom Our Samsung Smart TV. But it does have some lag time each time you start it.. I guess it does not remember the devices or content. aVIA is quick.. I Looked at the bubble one as well it seems promising but aVia looks more sleek .

I cannot get it to see any DLNA servers on my network. Not that it really matters, DLNA is a horribly broken and limited framework and really needs a modern replacement. (Again a topic I've written about on Google+ before.)

Thank you all for your help and comments! I apologize for my delayed response, I've been busy.
I have tried both aVia and BubbleUPnP, and both meet my needs quite nicely, thank you. Clear.fi or whatever does not appear to be part of the ROM I am currently using, so I never saw it to try it. I think these other two options work better for me anyway.
Thanks again for the help!

That is what I use. I have not found anything better than that.

I've tried several client software for streaming videos from my home media server to my Android tablet/phone. I found that 'Qloud Media' is the best in relation to performance. You may download a free version from the Android Market.
To make it work, you will need to install 'Qloud Media Server' on a Windows PC, which is also free.

[Q] stream videos from nas

Hello all. I have a Go flex home network storage device with loads of movies in avi format. I'm trying to find a way to stream these movies from my NAS to my nexus 10 without having to convert the files. I would also like to do this when I'm on the go, so if I'm tethered from my phone to my tablet I can use that connection to stream. Does anyone know of an app or setup that can accomodate this?

I store most of my content on my PC and use EMiT to stream it to my N7 not got my N10 yet but will let you know when it arrives also mobile data in my area sucks so i cant comment there but over wifi its pretty damn flawless

Thanks for the input. Mobile data strong here in Melbourne Florida so....I'm going to check out emit. I've never heard of it. I'll let you know how it goes.

Bubbleunpnp?

Can't you use xbmc for that? I've never done it but I thought that was a big thing with xbmc
Edit: yes grab xbmc from here http://xbmc.org/download/ you should be able to pick up your nas

App: BS Player is able to see your Nas file structure and plays almost all video codecs.

All of these are viable options but I'm not too network savvy and they don't have a lot of support for help. EMit looked the easiest to set up, and I actually got it connected, but the playback is incredibly slow. I got xbmc on the tablet, but I can't seem to connect to the network drive. I can't figure out what port the nas is using. Simply an lost trying to configure bsplayer. I'm going with xbmc for the moment, gonna google around and see what I can find. I'll post what I find.

With Bsplayer just go to menu and click LAN mode... It should scan and find you nas... Forgot about this one

Got BS Player working on my home network. Gave up on xbmc, it seemed to only work on home network. I'm trying to get it off mobile data. Still playing with BS player....

Oooh I didn't realize you were trying to get it off mobile data... Can't help ya there bro lol good luck
That's what I get for speed reading the OP lol

Thanks....does anyone know much about samba?

All I know is ES explorer will pick up anything that is using the samba protocol...

Yeah, I noticed that. I know I tried to download it, and I don't seem to be able to find an already compiled copy. Just to source to compile myself, which I don't know how to do. I know I'm missing something. There has got to be a way to stream music and movies from an nas to this thing. What really sucks is that nas came with an app on the market (goflex access), but I was broke by 4.2.2 and is no longer supported as the device is no longer manufactured.
I'm going to bed. More work on this tomorrow.

Several apps come with their own SAMBA/CIFS drivers for accessing that type of network share.
1) The fore mentioned ES File Explorer
2) XBMC (I have been using the ARM7 HW accelerated experimental version)
3) Mizuu - Movies & TV shows
4) MovieBrowser UPnP/DLNA
If you require native Samba/CIFS support for Android 4.2.2 things are a lot trickier due to multi-user support. You require a Custom ROM. Here is an explanation and a custom ROM with that capability built in.

[Q] Streaming Vids/Content from Nexus to TV/Xbox?

Hey guys. Looking for an app to use to stream videos from my Nexus to the TV/Xbox, sort of like Wifi Direct but, as wifi direct doesn't support the N7, I need something else. Preferably a wireless option, as I know I could do Usb/HDMI.

all of these should do the job just fine.

Play my movies via Wifi LAN?

When I have movies or pictures, I can use my media player that finds my laptop on the network and I can simply open or stream those files via wifi.
My question is how can I share files on my S7? How can I make my S7 discoverable on the network like my laptop does? Anyone know?
Thanks!
