DLNA

Hi
Does new Galaxy 10.1 WiFi only 16GB come with DLNA connectivity (like Tab 7.0) or not? Not able to understand it even on samsung.com site...

the 10.1 comes with stock android 3.1 so.. no, it does not have dlna support out of the box.

Here you go: http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...T-P7500UWDDBT/detail.aspx?atab=specifications
DivX support Yes (This feature is available in Q3 with a software update.)
And I think I saw it somewhere associated with DLNA.

as far as I remember DLNA was going to come later (probably when they push TouchWiz)

DLNA comes with the Allshare app, which is part of TW afaik.
I plan to use it to both send and recieve media from my XBMC box. Saves me from buying a HDMI adapter

I'm using imediashare to stream videos from tab/youtube to TV through xbox/NMT player. Not sure how it connects (uPnP or DLNA) but it works

I downloaded the imediashare app and it works like a dream with my PS3. 1080p? No lag, no problems whatsoever.

maybe try to install the Allshare apk from the SGS 2 ?

Anybody else try out imediashare?
It tells me it is not compatible with the GT 10.1.

I've tried netFront connect

I've tried the following so far:
ALLSHARE - does not even start!
AMEDIA CONTROL - can reach the dlna server and browse the directories but video don't start.
SKIFTA - reach the server,browse directories but video don't play. Just images if paused.
NETFRONT - reach the server but more often than not it freezes.
It seems DLNA compatibility is not possible so far.

BubbleUPnP works everytime - content from Host (Ubuntu) or USB stick in the back of the router.

try plex for android and imediashare

[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.

DLNA Working?

Is DLNA working on the Nexus 7?
Do you need additional software to use it?

i haven't seen DLNA mentioned anywhere in official specs or reviews so i don't think it has it.
as far as adding it, no idea, don't think it can be done.

All you should need is an DLNA enabled media player from the app store and access to/from network. DLNA is software certification not hardware. Or do you want to stream from the Nexus rather than to it. Try Bubble UPnP or there's Mediahouse and others.

What would be an example of a good DLNA enabled media player to access media files from the network?
The 2 files Bubble UPnP and Mediahouse would then only send my media from this tablet to a DLNA enabled device?
(I have a WD Live Plus DLNA device).
I assume until someone tests these software on the Nexus 7, there might me initial computability issues?

I would wait until you have your device in hand then try the free versions of them to see which is best suited to your needs. As I haven't received mine yet I can't say what works with it.

Install Skifta, that'll do DNLA Server or Client. Combined with MX Player I've never had a problem with using it on any of my Android devices.

Trying to find the same answer. I was pairing a bluetooth headset with my tablet and noticed my TV showed up...but when I click on it, it says something about an incorrect PIN even though there was no prompting for a PIN. Would love to stream to the TV...not sure why I see it under bluetooth either because I'm pretty sure bluetooth can't handle that much data.

DLNA works fine, I use the Plex DLNA server on my HTPC and BubbleUPNP client on my N7. Great combo.

Share video over LAN with miniPC

Hi,
I just got an T-R42 Android miniPC.
I want to use it to share some video files from my PC (over LAN not Wifi).
I want it to be as easiest as possible for my young kids to explore and find the files to play.
I think I have to install XBMC on the miniPC, but I'm not sure what to install on my PC in order to safely share files.
PS
Most of my files are not HD.
If possible, I want one folder to be protected with password as kinds can not play it....
Thanks,
Danny

Dont know
I am sure you will be able to share files by Wifi, lan . but not sure whether you able to make your folder as password protected. If got solution pls share

Use esfile explorer and swipe to the lan page then create new lan connection using your desktops ip and your login info. You may have to set your file share permissions on your desktop to allow sharing. I have my mk808b, note 1, note 2, tab 2 and 3, kindle fire, 2 laptops and a desktop all lan'd together this way.
Useing the desktop as the main media storage device as I have 4t space on it and another 4t external I just watch whatever off of that to keep the space on my other devices for other things.

One option: DLNA
on the PC: Serviio
http://serviio.org/
Edit: If you have windows 7 or higher, you can do this with windows media player.
on your android: Vplayer DLNA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.abitno.vplayer.t.plugs.upnp&hl=en
Edit: The EHomeMedia app that comes with Rockchip devices can be used too.
Works great for lower res media, struggles over 54G wifi for HD content.
Will be much better over a wired connection.

Both of the above will work great. Just to add another suggestion. Try skirts in the app store. Very easy DLNA app. Will work across both android and windows. Kid friendly too.

Sorry about the damn spell check error. Its Skifta. Not skirts...Lol. I do not know who or what is saying this combo is not better. But everyone has their favorites. Skifta works cross platform perfect. Then MX player for android and vlc on windows.....no problems!

Streaming movies from my PC to my Shield

I was wondering what free app does this? Both the Shield and the PC are connected to the same network via LAN.
Cheers

I highly suggest just running an FTP server of any sort (many in the market, sideload the apk) then use filezilla on the computer to move them over. Simple enough, though if you have any other questions, feel free to ask about anything.

Not sure but vlc and kody can have a media server built in?
But the computer need to have media sharing ability.

..

Wow, totally wasn't awake when I read that. Streaming, yeah. kodi does well streaming in my experience, I used an ssh server to do that and it worked pretty well, even on a raspberry pi.

SSH Server? I understand my PC would have to be on but yeah i dunno

If you stream movies from your pc, it will have to be on. You can also use it for file transfer.

..

You can try the Playback Player, which will cast media from computer to the shield's Chromecast endpoint.

I can recommend two options. Setting up an ftp server on your pc and using a video player app to stream contents from the ftp via file manager. Or just use plex like someone suggested above. I don't agree on transferring the actual files over ftp to the shield but instead STREAM the files from the shield.

You can create a shared folder with the video files on your PC and use Kodi on the Shield TV to scan the folder and play the videos on the Shield TV.

es file explorer does this with ease.
