I know the international version has DLNA support does the vibrant have it? I think the International version uses an Allshare DLNA app or something, I'm not to familiar with it.
I can confirm that the Vibrant does have the allshare DLNA app also.
I didn't even realize it had it until I read your post and took a peek for myself.
I just tested the Vibrant DLNA sharing feature on my PS3.
Played music my Mac using MediaLink. It seems to work nicely.
PS3 sees the new server and plays files from it.
The one thing I couldn't do is push a video to the PS3 and make it play. It seems the PS3 needs to be the one requesting to play the file.

How were you able to get your PS3 to play the video type? I was able to access the videos on my internal memory (16GB), but not my SD card (Avatar). But then it just said Unsupported File Type or whatever.
Is there a way to get the PS3 to play other types of video files than what it comes with stock?
you wont be able to see avatar because of copy right... anything copy written can not be seen over dlna.....
n00b question here, but where and how do I use DLNA on the Vibrant? I just got the phone and I am new to XDA... plz be gentle. LoL
Edit:
N/M Now I feel like a total n00b... found it. "all share"
Sorry, I should have been specific. I played music, but Did not try video.
Use the allshare app to use DLNA.

allshare - That's the name of the app in your phone
Is there DLNA software we can download/install to the PC, to turn the PC into a DLNA server and send files to the phone over my home wifi? (Windows XP Sp3) ... Be easier than having to plug in the USB cable.
thx

you should be able to use windows media player to share content. I'm not sure this method allows you to push content back to your pc
Open Windows Media Player > Library > Media Sharing and mess with settings there
I heard somewhere that u can use xbox 360 to dlna with epic. Is this possible? I tried google but cant find anything. I didnt think the 360 had dlna but i read everywhere that u can dlna with ps3 and xbox 360.
PS3 uses a special DLNA protocol, UPnP, and I don't thing the PS3 uses that particular protocol. Look at the specs on the Dlink DNS 323, it has an auto stream compatible with PS3 and XBOX.
any way to use dlna between epic and xbox without the dlink? or is the 360 not compatible?
You could always give the Twonky Mobile server app a try.

First off, are you running the Allshare App on the Epic and trying to configure it from there?

I just want to know if the 360 even supports dlna before i even try. i thought 360 doesnt, but i keep reading that ps3 and 360 both can do dlna. I tried googling but to no avail. I dont have the wireless adapter for the 360, but if it can do the dlna then i might consider purchasing it. So if anyone with a 360 and the wireless adapter for it can try it would be appreciated. I'm not sure if im ever even going to use the feature since my laptop has hdmi, but it would be nice to show it off
I just messed around with this for a few minutes. How I got it to work was :
1. Open windows media center on pc
2. Turn on 360, push the windows circle on the middle of the remote and to to the tab that has media center on it. Open it, you will get a code for setup after a step or two
3. Get the code and go to pc
4. Go to extenders on the pc media center and enter the code
5. It should be set up now
Then go to your phone > all share and let it do its thing. Select the appropriate option and play list items then select xbox 360 media center and it should play.
I played some mp3's without issue. I didn't try any video yet.

Not sure about dlna but upnp for sure.
Thanks Aridon, that was helpful and I have it working now! Now that it is setup, I do enjoy using the DLNA. The phone acts like a remote control which is sweet. Also the sound comes through my surround sound setup instead of the whimpy TV speakers.
on My Desire HD i can Stream to XBOX360
but only in the XBOX360 Media Center Extender Menue...
here what i have done...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794578&highlight=xbox360+dlna&page=6
i also tried mobile Twonky Media Server,
this works in normal XBOX Video Photo or Musik Medu (no Media Center Extender needed) but it dont play my Videos recorded with my Desire HD on my xbox360
Xbox supports dlna but it is only active when connected to a media center. It doesn't make sense dlna should always be active but its not. but that's how I stream from windows media player from windows 7 and epic.
To xbox.

I tried to run install twonky on OSX 10.4.11 the server starts up then shuts itself down and I can't connect to the config page in the browser, it's very frustrating
Just in case anybody is wondering this works fantastic on a ps3 and without needing a pc.

I meant use the twonky app on your phone, it will show up on your xbox as twonky server as long as it is running on your phone and will play any supported content without needing a pc

It is really to bad, I like to use my ps3 to watch media.
I will say I have a samsung tv and the dlna on it is horrendous, nothing works.

Has anybody tried plugging their phone straight in using usb cable?
I tryed pluging the phone into the usb ports and the xbox doesn't detect it. I just recently had to reformat my external hard drive, into Fat32 format, to make it xbox compatiable. I'm guessing you must do the same with yours phones memory card.
Where do I get. this Twonky Media Server?? I searched the market and google,but I can't find it
:edit: I found it in the market,just search twonky not twonky media server, it works pretty awesome streaming to my xbox music works fine, some pictures don't show up and videos I haven't bin able to try because I don't have an internet connection now.
thanks!
sweet. thanks guys.
so to summarize for future readers, go into xbox 360 media center & get code then go into computer media center -> extender -> add code. then, to play from dlna phone (epic, fascinate, etc.) go into xbox 360 media center then use allshare on dlna phone.
worked for me!

DLNA works "above" the connection so it's not dependable on the network hardware. As long as the end devices support it and there is a connection between them, it works. If you want to stream videos from your phone to your PC you'll need a software that suppors it. WMP supposedly is capable of receiving videos from the phone, but you'll need to enable remote control of the WMP.
its kinda like bluetooth but a totally different tech altogether.

you can share media from your phone using the CONNECTED MEDIA APP..
you need to have a DLNA enabled/capable tv to use it.

It would help to know at least your Windows version. Assuming it's win7 you need to open Windows media player, then click on 'stream' button and allow remote control of the player. Then open 'connected media' application on your phone, select the video you want to play, then it will search for DLNA players on your network and hopefully it will find your pc. You might have to disable the firewall on your computer and you must have WMP open while you search for DLNA players. As I said in my previous post, DLNA works regardless of your network hardware. If there is network connection, it should work.

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could help me find if there was a way to stream content that's from the web (e.g. Chrome/Browser) over to a device that supports something like Airplay and similar services. I know TouchWiz on my S3 can do this already, but is there a way to get this on my N7?
I've searched on Google but find nothing.
Thanks!

I'm not sure about how Airplay works. But You can try AirDroid, Wifi File Transfer.
Let me know if it works for you.

I think these are for file transfer. I've actually used AirDrop to transfer files between my Mac and S3. What I'd like to be able to do is send audio/video I'm streaming from the web on my Nexus 7 onto say my Xbox 360 or a set of network enabled speakers.
My S3 can do this as TouchWiz has AllShare built in to it. So really I'm looking for an alternative to AllShare that will work with my N7.
Thanks

Why don't you just use something like Chrome to mobile or Dolphin connect and send share the link to your N7 and enjoy the music.
Check iMediaShare app. I guess this is what you are looking for

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.
