A working DLNA server for HD2

I found a version of a DLNA server for a Samsung omina 2, messed around a bit with it and it works on my HD2, connecting from Windows7.
Although I'm sure the server app allows you to conf. the setting via http I can't get into this. When you fire up the server it creates an html file to access the setting but I can't get the browser to connect. (hopefully someone my have better luck)
Anyway I have configured it manually in the samsung-mediaserver.ini file and moded the network adaptor list for the HD2.
Just copy it to your storage card and launch the SamsungMediaServer.exe.
It is set up to get the media from \Storage Card\My Document

Dear Mcc05,

if you need to change the location of your media edit the samsung-mediaserver.ini file in the DLNA directory.
Once on your phone simply use file explorer to launch the samsungmediaserver.exe.
Now to get it seen under windows 7, make sure you wi-fi is on and your phone is connected to the same network as your win7 pc.
If so simply go to start/network and you should see you hd2 in the list of media devices, click on it and it sholud open WMP as show the content of your media library on your phone.
Hope that helps.

Are you still using this program? I would like a DLNA server for my TP2. I think everyone has forgotten about DLNA on a windows mobile phone.
Thanks - works well. Needed to adjust the ini file but instructions provided are helpful.
Nice find!
Now, how do you disable it? I extracted the files, started samsungmediaserver.exe, but then I got nothing on the screen. I found that a process called samsungmediaserver was running (and taking 11-14 % CPU), but I couldn't kill it using that particular task manager (the default HTC task manager).
I was just going to check what the application looks like, and I didn't have WiFi turned on on the phone, and neither a Win7 PC available to check if I could connect to the phone.
Should there be some kind of a GUI on the app?
What about a Windows Mobile DLNA client?
I'd like to access my media served by a Windows 7 PC.
Thank You,
Bye

WaW, nice! Is it possible to make / mode this for XPERIA X1?

Good app but I haven't worked out either how to switch it off - once enabled it keeps the wifi & CPU active and starts chewing through the battery.
haven't tried it or anything - but a soft reset should kill the app?
PocketNow did a brief write-up & review of this app, including a basic "How to:" guide.

Right, but slightly inconvenient wouldn't you say.

The samsung-config.html is referring to h t t p://x.x.x.x/setup.htm.
Any change to obtain this setup.htm? I will do a search on an Omnia device.
Thanks
Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work with the xbox 360. It does not pick up the HD2. My archos 5 media tablet does and it streams great just not the Xbox.

streaming video to hd2?

I purchased a Lacinema Classic hd, (cheap nas drive), and i have it connected to my home network. Can anyone tell me how to stream video from it to my hd2? if it is possible.
any help appreciated

Hiya
I connected my HD2 via WiFi to router and i can stream movies from my pc (with Win XP, connected to router with cable) to my phone without problem, they runs smoothly and I watch them in coreplayer, its ok for me, so maybe try something lika that, good luck
yeah thats what i want to do but without using the pc. It must be possible to stream the content straight to my phone just dont know how.
i am not personally experienced with "NAS drives"...but i've always assumed these drives would be available to other network machines/devices as shared folders, accessible from windows using the "\\MACHINE\SHARE_NAME" syntax.
please verify my assumption. if such is the case, then look for "schap's htc network plugin" and download and install it. this little tool will let you map shared network folders onto the \Network folder on your HD2. once the mapping is complete, all applications on your device will be able to see and use the files on the shared folder as if these files are on your storage card. so you can then fire up coreplayer or pocket player or what have you and enjoy!

The easiest way to start using Allshare

Go here http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...XAA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
to download the PC share manager software.
Install software and setup the file on your computer you want to share, the software is kinda slow so this may take a bit.
Turn the server on and open the Allshare app on your phone and click on playvfiles from server on phone.
Go to the PC share manager software on your computer and click on share and then device policy.
You should be able to see your phone, your phone is labeled SGH-T959, click accept.
Then go back to your phone and if the server is not showing yet click refresh and you should be set.
Now you can watch and listen to all your movies and music on your computer from your phone.
i went to that link but i wasnt sure what to click or download. can somebody help me out? thanks.

You running Windows 7?
Software version shows Xp/Vista...
Just checking if any1 knows if its compatible
There's and even easier way if you don't mind using Windows Media Player
If you click on the 'Library' drop down menu your phones server name should automatically show up, even if the allshare app isn't activated. From there, just find the folder where you stored your media and you should be good to go.
NOTE: You have to have, If you're using Windows 7, your media sharing enabled in the network and sharing options in the control panel.
EDIT: or u could just connect allshare to windows media center lol btw, i just figured ou how to use ALLSHARE WITH XBOX360!!!
The first thing I tried was the Windows Media Player and on XP it does not see my phone so I can't give access to my phone and even when I click share with all my phone does not see the WMP.
i could get the samsung app for my pc to work correctly on my phone however i can confirm, Windows media sharing works great

How far away can you be from your pc?
Just got back from my brother's house and his network with WMP does not work on his or my Vibrant.
Are you using XP ?

any one know how to do this with ps3???
You don't even need to use WMP if you are on Windows 7. All you need to do is go to Control Panel > Home Group and check the libraries you want to share. I'm sharing my pictures, music, and videos folders. Then check "Stream my Pictures, Music,....."
and hit "Save Changes" on the bottom.
Congratulations! Now your stuff is shared with your phone, Xbox 360, PS3, other computers, and anything else on you network. No software needed.

I use the AllShare app on the phone, but no software on the PC side.
My N900 supported file streaming from the stock media player as well.
I guess I'm a moron. I have XP at home and I couldn't figure out how to enable sharing via Media Player.

The PS3, Dont have to do anything it will see the phone. It will be under video, and under the PS store. It worked great.
I was told you can do this from your Xbox360, but could not get it to work.. Any help would be great.
What kind of file can the Vibrant play? I have a lot of xvid video but it says "sorry, this video cannot be played"
I cannot connect any of the ways described above. I don't know if I'm missing something but when I turn on allshare, it says no media. First I tried the way of the first post but I when I click on share and set device policy, I get nothing. Then I tried streaming a file through windows media player and i have streaming enabled but don't get anything on my phone. Then I made a homegroup with windows 7 but still don't see any shared media in allshare. My phone is connected to my wifi so any clue as to what I could be missing?

[Q] Ubuntu and DLNA?

Does anybody know of a good DLNA server for ubuntu that's fairly easy to use and configure?
I tried mediatomb but could not figure out how to set it up properly to work with the phone.
I then tried PS3mediaserver. It only worked one-way. I was able to see shared media from the PC but could not see the PC on the phone.
I gave up trying and ended up getting Estrongs Explorer and transferred the media files over wifi :-/
FWIW I just use xbmc - had it running already, and it showed right up. 90% of my videos play fine.
That is probably overkill for you but fwiw it works if you want a media center..

DLNA

hi everybody,I moved this question from Q andA section,no one replayed ..maybe here and sorry for posting same thread again ...
I have tried to share my files in the DHD with PC using DLNA with Windows media player and there was no problem to see PC files in DHD., but can't see any from DHD on Media player... any ideas why DLNA works only one way? Thanks... (same with Nero mediahome too)..
You will need to select the files on your phone you wish to share on your network. Media Player on your PC has already configured media to share.
Go to android market and search for DLNA or media share to find programs that will allow you to do this. Once shared, files will be visible from your phone.
Hey georgito,
Which program are you using to connect to PC and vice versa?

...the default one-connected media..and skifta too...both same results,files are playable only on phone...
You can play files from your DHD on your computer using the Windows Media Player (on Win7 it works, I think Vista should be fine too, not sure for XP though - you might need to update the WMP). You have to enable "remote control" on the player settings and then you can play files drectly. There is no way without a third party software to get DLNA on the DHD working like a media shared folder (the way the DHD can see the files shared on your computer).
..yeah..I did everything necessary to set up connection..and still can see any change to play files from phone on PC..still just having only phone player on menu...no windows one..I thing,there is an issue with 64bit vista..

Try this. If it still isn't working, maybe you can try to disable the firewall / antivirus just to check if that's the problem (don't forget to turn them back on ).
