New firmware = streaming problems. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating my software version to VS98012B I am no longer abler to stream video from my Windows 7 machine. The phone recognizes and connects to the network, and recognizes and connect to Windows Media Player (under Near By Devices) but since the update it says 0 videos. Everything is fine on my PC's end as far as I can see. I repeated the steps to ensure Windows Media Player is set up correctly. Anyone else have or fixed this problem?

Media players disconnects ActiveSync

Hi Guys,
I've searched for the solution to this problem with no luck so I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I'm using Onyx's ROM, ver 4, and ActiveSync (4.5) works fine if no media player is running. But as soon as I start WMP or MediaMonkey, or any player with syncing ability, ActiveSync would disconnect. It would show the spinning green icon and say connecting in the dialogue, but never reconnects.
The same is true if I have WMP or MediaMonkey already running and plug the phone in. ActiveSync would not connect at all. My media players are able to sync my iPod w/o issue, and if I put the phone in "disk drive" mode, I can sync to it as well.
So bottom line is, w/o any media player running, ActiveSync works; with media player running, ActiveSync doesn't work. Any ideas guys?
Thanks

WMP Sync

I just wanted to post this in case someone else had this problem:
I was trying to get music onto my Epic using WMP 12 on Windows 7 64-bit as it is much easier than a manual copy/paste. Plug in phone, mount sdcard, and it shows up as a "library". A "library" is not able to be sync-ed with WMP. Went to Samsung website and downloaded the USB driver on my PC. Now it shows up as a device (sync-able) in WMP 12. Problem solved.
It seems odd that every other device you buy (video card, mp3 player, wireless adapter) comes with a driver cd or at least instruction on how to get a driver online. No so with a cell phone I guess...

Allshare with Windows Vista

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to share media from my I9000 with my windows Vista desktop (connected via LAN)?
When I tried scanning from my phone it could not find any device. I think this maybe because perhaps a wired connection cannot be connected to DLNA? Could someone let me know if there is some way to do this?
TIA
Dear friend
You can access to your mobile files and folders via Wireless lan with WEBSHARING software.
Also I am interested to know how can I share my files in my PC with My Galaxy S
Actually I am looking for streaming not just file sharing.
Is there any way to get this within Windows itself?
make sure your phone is connected via wifi in the same network with any device that runs a DLNA compatible player (such as Windows Media Player) then run "allshare" and you will see the name of the computer(s) with the player...
I hope this helped.
it doesnt work for me. my computer is connected via a cable , while my mobile phone connects wireless to the same router..
Doesn't work for me either. In the Media Player "media sharing" I am unable to see the Galaxy S.
i just tried. it's working on my windows 7 32bit.
running the latest Wmedia Player. which i believe is 11?
streaming media FROM my phone, streaming media TO my phone.
i'm using JPY from samfirmware.
oh yea i'm connected to WIFI on both my laptop and my phone.
It doesn't matter how your pc is connected to your network (wifi or cable). You should "see" the computer that runs DLNA player via allshare and choose it. After that, your computer sees the gallery of your phone and is able to browse and play media from it.
Edit: Galaxy S shows up in the media player's library

Videos randomly stop playing in Kodi

Anybody had or having this issue? I am using TVMC, and I have my video library set up with an SMB share to the Nexus. I will start playing a TV episode and it will stop a few minutes in or halfway through and return back to the episode list. I don't think this has happened with a movie (yet).
I have tried messing with Hardware Acceleration vs Software (one actually works better for streaming sources from outside of my network). Tried clearing out the cache, purging packages. None of these have made any improvements. Thinking I may try to install a vanilla version of Kodi, and maybe also try Gotham.
Did a little searching and haven't found any solutions yet.
This is probably #3 in my disappointments with this device so far along with lack of apps, the Netflix bug, SlingTV's frame rate, and the Live Channels app. Starting to wish I opted for the Fire TV.
Yep Kodi runs like sh.. on my Nexus Player as well.
But on my Shield Tv it runs without any problems.
Video not playing on Kodi
Hi, I had the same problem. My video library is hosted on a Windows 7 PC and connecting over SMB to stream a film would work sometimes but not others. After much research I found the problem to be the network connection to the Windows PC. I found this out by installing ES File explorer on my Android TV and copying a large file to the local storage of the player. The copy would usually start then suddenly stop after a random length of time, additionally the bandwidth was very low. Try this to make sure you can copy a large file to the device without any problems.
I fixed the problem with a combination of solutions. I upgraded the network card drivers of the Windows 7 PC, I purchased an OTG LAN adapter for the Nexus Player and finally I used haneWIN to connect to my media library via NFS rather than SMB.
I now have a rock solid connection.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the responses. I have found that streaming the videos to Kodi via UPnP with Emby works fine. So I am thinking that is a network issue. I have DHCP set up, so I think what I will try is setting a static IP for the Windows PC
I also have one of these Ubee Modem/Router combos, but I have been using my own router. I didn't have the Ubee in bridge mode, which I changed last night. So I will get everything set again like I had it and see if it will play without stopping.
your problem is most likely trying to stream content over wifi. i dont care what anybody says, wifi + streaming media sucks. it can work fine 1 minute and then stop working another regardless of how good your connection may be.
