[Q] Stream Music in NAS to Samsung TV via DLNA? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Back when I was still using Galaxy S2 on Gingerbread I was able to browse music files on my NAS over DLNA using a Samsung provided app (I think is AllShare) and play on my Samsung TV but I cannot find that app anymore.
Seems like Samsung replaced it with Link but I fail to understand if that use case is still even supported by the Link app in Note 3.
Or would I now need to use a third party app for this, say Bubble UPnP?

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

Allshare and DLNA?

I want to stream a few movies from my tablet to my Samsung LED t.v like I can with my SGS2, but it seems as if the tab 10.1 doesn't have allshare.
I've googled it and found that it's supposed to have DLNA and allshare. What can I do?
Think it's a waiting game. Should get it from Samsung as an update. Eventually.
That's what I've heard anyway...

The gtab 10.1 came with stock HC3.1. Allshare/Dnla is a sammy product that requires the Touchwiz libraries. Expect to see it once TW4 officially drops for the tablet.

Well, just to keep this thread alive, where is AllShare? Now, even after the official release of TouchWiz, still no AllShare.
The iMediaShare app will do the same, although it's not tablet-ready. I've been using it to send TED videos to my TV this afternoon. Free.
i use skifta. it works like allshare and will stream mkv files too so long as there is a player capable of playing mkv files on your tablet.

I'm not sure about the permissions with that app?
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITYAllows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like.

So long as your tablet isn't a phone I wouldn't worry about it. I've got it installed mine, and although the UI doesn't stretch to fill the big screen, the media lists do. When Allshare shows up, and if it works with my LG TV then I'll delete imediashare. Only suggested it as a placeholder until Samsung gets around to providing a solution.
Still have no idea about the suggestion by a salesclerk who stated that the Tablet could play your TV's content. The only way I get that done is if I'm lucky enough to find the same show on the network's web site and play it from there.
Media players need to know when the phone is in use so you aren't hearing asain midget porn in the background while talking to grandma..

I didn't have any trouble downloading and running it, but it isn't written for tablets as the small app UI will attest. It works though, at least between my LG smart TV and my Tab.
Allshare.apk
Here you go - put it in the system/apps folder.

Allshare
Hi all!
My comes with Allshare, but it works only with laptop/pc. Unfortunatelly, it could not communicate with my Asus o!play mini plus media player.
Any idea?
Thanks,

For streaming movies, photos from your PC along with several Tab resident services, (YouTube, Shoutcast Flickr, Picasa and others), check out ZappoTV. The Android version is new and a work in progress but the iOS version is pretty solid.
You will need a compatible device attached to your TV or AV Receiver. I use the WDTV Live Plus but there are a number of others that work very well. You will also need a media server installed on your PC, (I use Tversity).
With this setup, I can fire up the Tab, turn my AV receiver to the appropriate input and control everything from my comfy leather chair. I am not sure if this app will stream content stored on the Tab itself but just about anything on the PC is available.
For playing music on a stereo system connected to a media server, the Android version of ZappoTV is not as good as it needs to be. A better app if you just want to use the Tab to manage and play your PC-based music library is 2Player.
Now if someone would figure out a way to control Pandora with the Tab and send the output to a media device like my WDTV, I would be a really happy camper.

I would like to know that as well, I've read you can stream via DLNA/Allshare to a Samsung TV, but it seems those apps only stream a local file. Also I wonder whether the Nexus 7 is capable of downloading the stream whilst streaming it along to the TV.

Too expensive i think. What I will try out is a Samsung MHL cable (see Amazon) and attaching a WiiMote to the device. This should transfer the screen/audio while giving me the freedom to control it from the couch.
As of now, I have testes Plex Media Server in conjunction with the Plex App on the Nexus, which is really impressive on its own already, since I can for example link every YouTube Video I like (via myplex) and stream that from my PC to the TV (even without the Android App, since the TV recognizes the Plex Media Server on its own via DLNA!). I can also stream my Video Folders to Tablet and/or TV whenever I like. The only downside of this is that I have to have the PC running.
For streaming videos from the Google Play store I think iMediashare will be sufficient, since one can select whichever file residing on the tablet and stream it to the TV. I could not test it with Play Store Videos yet, since I get the error that I have downloaded the complimentary Transformers 3 to the maximum of devices already (which I haven't) whenever I click the download option in the Google Video Player. But from what I gather, it should be possible to download a video (rent) and instead of viewing it via the Google Video App, open it in iMediashare and stream that to the TV. Using the WiiMote App, it should also have a remote then.
In case one can't open the rental video outside of Google Video App, it should still work using the MHL Cable.
If you check that out, let me know whether it works for you
I will be able to do further testing when my replacement Nexus arrives, since I got and 8GB instead of 16GB version, I will have to wait until I got it swapped.
and therefore do not pile nexus 7...NO HDMI :/
I wait for acer a110

[Q] App that allows you to stream Android to Android

I am looking for an app that will allow (for example) my Galaxy Note 10.1 to see files (specifically video files) from my Nexus 7.
I would then like the Galaxy Note 10.1 be able to play those video files from my Nexus 7.
I know how to do it from said device from a PC but another android device I dunno yet.
Anyone have any apps to recommend?
I use skifta, mainly for playing files from the server on my network at home, but also for streaming files from the tablet to a DNLA player (ps3)
I have tried it from my N7 to a mates N7 so I do know it should work android to android.

DLNA not working right.

DLNA used to work perfectly with my Vizio TV using my HTC Inspire. The built in DLNA is bad from what I've seen, I can't get the videos to play or even show errors, it does nothing (and I must have the files on the internal storage it seems, plus, they have to be in the video, music, etc., folder respectively). With BubbleUPNP, which worked perfectly with the Inspire, I'm getting video and audio coded errors with files that played fine when transmitted from the Inspire.
Man, I used to be able to plug in my Inspire with USB and watch anything on it on my TV, sadly the S4 has MTP which is super bad. And now DLNA doesn't work either.
Just making sure, you are using the "share with local devices" right? I used the default DNLA share app on the S4, and get perfect reads on my PS3. No problems at all streaming them. Perhaps the player on your Vizio can't read the video files properly due to older codecs? Have you tried it on any other device, say, a laptop/PC?
