Ok so I tried to do a little research and couldn't come up with much... I think our phones support dlna I'm just curious how to use it and what exactly we can use it for, sorry, I'm kinda noobish on this topic... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...thank you in advance

It would be used to stream media content (videos, pictures, audio) to DLNA compatible home theater things. Such as displaying videos from your phone on your tv. No idea how it works, or if it even works for us currently.
The stock allshare app is a dlna app, I believe.

iMediaShare is an alternative app on the Market... works really well, if not better than AllShare. Both work "automatically" with Samsung wifi TV's which also is pretty cool You just click the available device and the app does the rest.

Is there any way to use the Epic as a mini monitor? I'm assuming not but I figured I'd ask anyways. Would it be possible at all?
That's actually a very good idea but I don't think its possible.
epic
No HDMI in for the simple reason that there is no hardware support.

Doesn't really make any sense since our resolution is so low the HDMI input video would look horrible. Also, considering we can't even get the standard video out to work I seriously doubt the reverse is going to work.
Not wired, but there's this app: http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=idisplay&platform=android
Theres another that I can't find right now (magic something I think). Both are based on VNC mirror display drivers, do you need a pc, a server app for the pc and the client software for your andoid.
Good luck.

Right, this is really beginning to bug the hell out of me.
I want to stream stations from here:
http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/mp3.asp
But Winamp/Built in player refuse to even try and play them, where as my Nokia N900's crap built in player wouldn't even bat an eye lid, and even plays the AAC streams on their site too!
Am I missing codecs or something? (Can you download a codec pack for Android?)
Have you tried using Tunein Radio?
Perfect. Thank you. I got pro as well.

Glad I could help. It's a great app!
In VLC and most desktop video clients, the program allows you to browse the file system of a network share when attempting to open media of any sort, be it audio or video.
Does anyone know of a honeycomb app that can browse network shares and play videos contained within without a janky sync process or desktop client software to install? I heard about uPnPlayer, but its UI is far from tablet optimized.
Please don't tell me I'm the only one nerdy enough to have a streaming only video collection

Here's hoping touchwiz doesn't ruin honeycomb, then.
Instead of looking for a network video player look for a network file manager like ES FIle Manager. Go to the folder you want and open the video file. The default player will play it.

It should be noted that AllShare is a DLNA app and isn't exactly what the OP is talking about. This is probably the best solution though, imo.
In the meantime there are some applications that will do the same thing that AllShare does, albeit with a lot less flare:
uPnPlay - similar to AllShare. If you use this - download Rock Player. It has much better Codec support and uPnPlay will allow you to select your video player of choice.
ES File Explorer also has a built in video player that will play some codecs directly from a fileshare. You have to setup the share through ES File Explorer.
Hope this helps - if someone else has any better solutions than these - please share!! I would love to see how others achieve this.
I've been using Plex for my video streaming needs. Not exactly what your looking for but does a pretty good job for the time being. Www.plexapp.com
I use upnplay as stated above... it works...

My experience with Allshare is with the Epic 4G and it is crap really. You can't seek forward or backwards, and it's really limited on options, formats and features.
I wish Android has an app like "Air Video" on iOS. That app is killer.
try buzzplayer
UpnPlay is the easiest and best way to go.

Thanks! That doesn't play MKVs, is there one you know of that does?

Rock Player will play MKVs. Last time I used it to play an MKV it didn't parse any of the subtitles out, however. Worth a shot either way.
I too have a media server in my home. On my phone I just use V Player and enter in the URL to my server.... I haven't done anything on my tab yet. I imagine that would work... provided VPlayer is optimized for a tab. I haven't tried yet.
Hi guys,?
I've been using my iconia for a few weeks now and i m starting to quite get along with the Android world.
Im using a FREEBOX for router and it now has AIRMEDIA, compatible with apple's airplay (again, dont throw rocks...just asking)
It made me wonder if there was any tweaks to choose the speakers i wanna use, like airplay.
Lets say i want to use gmusic and send sound to my hifi system from the tablet, how could i do that ?
Thanks forward

Yes I did. And there are alternative wireless setups you can purchase.
Last time I was at Radio Shack, I saw a unit that you plugged into your headset jack, then plugged the receiver into your stereo which allowed wireless transmission from one to the other. I don't remember how much they cost, but I remember it wasn't too pricey.
Thanks, i ll look into it

Found a solution for this?
I have the Airplay DLNA speakers from Bowers & Wilkins, the Zeppelin Air. Currently I am streaming thru Twonky mobile and this works perfect on my Galaxy TAB.
I also tried Honey Player and DoubleTwist, but both of these apps do not do the trick...
Nevertheless am I searching for a way to stream Radio and Podcasts....
Who can help?
MP3, Radio and Podcasts now via Honey Player (new version 7th of July) working with my B&W Zeppelin Air speakers!! Apple Airplay on Android.. nice ..
Works fantastic...

I was reading this article on gottabemobile.com About XDA porting the Netflix HD app to the Galaxy Nexus..and I thought, umm why don't I try that on my Note....Installed the APK from their link...OMG BEAUTIFUL. I started up the New Star Trek Movie, awesome, the old Star Trek, awesome again...the interface is a bit small as its made for tablets I guess, but just pull your stylus out and there is no problem here!
On one small note. I used Chrome to Phone to send myself the APK link. After I got the APK link I also got bombarded with spam links via Chrome to Phone on my notification bar. I had to uninstall Chrome to Phone after 12 notifications about "Hot Girls" I'm guessing this is almost like uncontrolled. pop ups on the server that was serving the APK file. Hopefully I can re-install it with-out the spam, as I use Chrome to Phone a lot!
Edit:
Just connected it to my LCD...it does not look like 1080p when compared to running a youtube 1080p video
Well darn...
I actually can't stand the interface. Without the stylus it's very hard to navigate. Very hard. I wish I could switch it back but still keep the high res video.
The normal netflix app on the Note was also very small as I remember from the handful of times I used it before I installed this APK. Though the actually interface does seam just a tad different.
OP are you sure about that?
I was under the impression that Netflix HD only will stream 720p content to OMAP equipped phones at the moment.
I tried the APK on my Note and movies look exactly the same as the regular Netflix App, still looking standard definition to me.
I have no way to confirm that it is actually playing HD. They look great to me. Though I must admit, I only used it a handful of times previously. The APK works and it's functional. I'll try and use the HDMI Out Cable and see if there is any improvident....

don't discount this app just yet. It definitely plays video better than the app i installed it over. I watch a lot of space docs on netflix, and they have looked terrible because of the black "blockiness" problem with the note. This version of netflix looks amazing on the note compared to the one i had downloaded from the market. this fixes one of my only disappointments with my phone!
and it also gives me hope that the video issues can be fixed by software alone!

Can you tell me which APK you are using? I am sure we are using the same one and the picture is not any different to me than the stock. This is definitely not 720P. am I the only one who feels this way? Also I keep seeing people refer to HD content on Netflix. How can we tell which it is? Thanks.
