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
I have a nexus 7 in my van that I am using as stereo. The tablet is permanently fixed so I can't remove it and connect it to a computer. I also can't disconnect the power cable and connect a usb cable.
I am using the default google music and video app to play back my media. If I upload an album to my "mymusic" account and then download it (select to store on the device) to the nexus, it shows up no problem in the play music app. Before I fixed the nexus into my van, if I connected a usb cable and connected it to my computer and copied music over it found it no problem.
The problem I am having is the nexus doesn't have a memory card slot and it's not really convenient to connect it to my wifi to download the music so I have a kingston wi-drive that I can connect wirelessly to the nexus. If I copy music from this to the nexus it doesn't show up in the play music app.
If I browse to the folder using a file manager I can see the music, it just won't show up in the play music app.
This is the same for any videos I copy over. They do exactly the same thing.
I've tried turning the tablet off and on again, I've tried putting the media in different folders. I've also tried selecting refresh music from "google play server"
Does any one have an idea how I can force it to find the media?
thanks

Does anyone have any help with this?
Hey guys, I got the nexus player yesterday and I've been seeing mixed results for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm simply trying to view movies off of a USB flash drive using an OTG cable on a non-rooted Nexus Player. Is this possible? I've sideloaded ES File Explorer and I can see the USB Flash Drive listed under the 'Local' panel of ESFE. When I click on the Flash Drive nothing happens. There is also a eject icon directly beside the text of the USB Flash Drive. I've tried 3 different flash drives 8gb, 16gb, 32gb, and formatted as exFAT, FAT32, and NTFS.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the exactly the same problem.
I just saw a video that claimed that you cannot click on the USB using the nexus player remote. You will need to use a mouse to select the USB drive in ESFE. I haven't been able to test this as I do not currently have a USB hub. I'm ordering one today and I will report back if it works.
So my powered USB hub arrived today and using the mouse to click on the flash drive worked!
I also discovered that you can add the USB to the favourites menu on ES File Explorer to get around the mouse requirement. If your USB shows up as usb2006 or 2007 or whatever, simply add usb://200x as a favourite folder. This will allow you to bypass the requirement of using your mouse. The only negative is that the USB number seems to change every time it's re-plugged in. I got around this by making favourites for usb://2006, usb://2007, etc..
I have it working right now as a FAT32... But I can't to see what file systems are supported. It would see it with ExFAT, but nothing would work. FAT32 works, but has obvious limitations. Does NTFS work? Has anyone tries Ext4?

I connected a USB hub to my NP so I was able to use my NTFS formatted external drive and my mouse at the same time. I found my video files on HDD by ESFE but there is no any media player app that plays 1080p MKV movies correctly. I tried ESFE's media player, V Player, MX Player... unsuccessfully.
Playback was always laggy and audio problems occured pretty often.
Does anyone know a good option/app for that?
I can't post links but search for the kodi android app and sideload that apk. It works flawlessly.
Download VLC to play movies when you use a external drive or save them to the NP. That's what I do and it works great.
I'm sure there is a easy answer to this and I wasnt sure where else to ask. I use a western digital media player to play all my media at home. Normally I have a my hard drive connected to it and use my PC for downloading. My PC has kinda crapped out so I've been using my Note 3 for all my downloading. I'm just wondering if there is a way for me to plug my phone into the media player as a thumb drive to playnmovies off of. I'm sure there is a easy way to do so, also is there a cable I can purchase to transfer files from my smartphone to my hardrive without a PC ? I'm currently running cm12 nighlties if that helps at all. Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this question. Thanks for any help I can get. Cheers.
You need to enable USB Mass Storage, which was removed from Android in 4.1.2.
Not sure if it can be enabled in CM; someone else might know.
As for transferring files between your phone and a drive, you need an USB OTG (On The Go) cable.

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?
