Hi recently i bought a buffalo NAS which come with DLNA support, so now i try to play my music using AllShare. However, i just discover that this samsung Allshare just a piece of junk:
1. I cant do other thing when using allshare, this software just cant run at background!
2. This allshare just keep my phone screen ON ???
3. There is not option to select all music files at once!
I know i should point these problem to Sammy, but can someone recommend me a program that can play network folder music files so i just can throw this allshare into the recycle bin?
Thanks in advance

I am relatively new to android from a blackberry. I have a verizon galaxy tab and I have downloaded ttorrent in the market and when I download movies (so far I have tried avi and mp4 format) and try to view them they do not play with the media player and I do not get an error message it just goes to a black media player screen and doesnt play. I have tried implayer and arcmedia media players in the market and when I try to play the files it plays but with no sound and says I need to download coral player at real.coralplayer.com which apparently is a media player for a comp. Am I doing something wrong or does anyone have any advice on what media player to use. Or if anyone has any recommenda rt ions on apps that allow you to download movies and watch (preferably free). Thanks

Generally i dont encourage piracy so i will assume that you legally own these movies (read forum rules). Bottomline you cant watch this movie until you convert them into friendly format for the galaxy tab.
Follow this guide: http://www.thetechjournal.com/how-to/convert-and-watch-movies-on-samsung-galaxy-tabhow-to.xhtml
It should play just fine, no need off a other player, the stock one is as good and even better then the one's you find at market.
Just be shore that it not have DTS,DD audio, because Galaxy tab can't handle that audio.

Unless the Verizon one is crippled, those files should play just fine as the tab supports DivX, mp3, h264 and AAC among the other things. Could be an audio issue, but honestly i have trouble imagining an avi with an audio stream that's more than stereo. Then again, i've seen some of the weirdest stuff, like an h264 video inside an avi...

I used this workflow to convert some of the Blu-ray rips we have on our HTPC, as well as converting a few SD movies, worked perfectly for my tab. Movies play in stock apps.

From a quick Google, if you are being asked to download CoralPlayer, then the movies you are downloading are not actually usable, and you are being scammed.
What application allows us to download paid movies similar to iTunes? I have an iPad but prefer to use my Tab for watching flicks instead?
Thanks for the info. After further te st ting the only movies that seem to play for me.so far are mp4 movies. I have been using t torrent to dl movies. Anyone else have any other recommended apps through market.

Try installing mvideoplayer and vitalplayer. Those two should play everything else.

Dude you were so right...this is by far the best player out there right now! Thanks for the tip!
mobo player is very nice...one fantastic feature is that is sizes the video to the full screen. I was watching avatar on my train ride and the stock video player had it centered and not full screen....finished watching it wtih mobo!
thanks for the tip.
check diceplayer on market (GB required )
you can play 1080p MKV+DTS(or Flac/Ogg)

Here are top 5 Android movie APPs for movie lovers. You can use some of these APP to download or watch movies on Galaxy tab conveniently: " Netflix (free, streaming: US only)", "IMDb Movies & TV (free)", "VLC Direct Pro ($2.86)", "Movie Collection (free, ad-less version for $2.99)" and "GetGlue (free)". In addition, you also can rip DVD TO GALAXY TAB, but you need to consider the issue of legality. Good Luck !
Mobo player is great.
It now has support for subtitles within MKV containers without having to extract them. subtitles are great for foreign movies or for the hearing impaired and anime.
It also supports selecting audio track from within the container file. ie, Eng, JP audio track selection. I see a bright future for this app.

I use stock player...
I am trying to find a way to watch a video directly from my Qnap data storage server. I have tried various file managers (Astro, File Manager, etc, ...) and I can access my shares within my network perfectly. When I click on videos stored locally on the Galaxy tab, they start playing instantly, but when I click on a video in any of my network share, all of these file managers try copying the file locally first, rather that play straight away.
I know I could install a media streaming app on my data storage server, but that would also result in transcoding videos, or unnecessary waste of resourses on the server, something I want to avoid.
Is there any kind of filemanager that will allow me to instantly play a video from a remote share (within the local network), rather than trying to copy locally first?
Have you tried Allshare? If that doesn't work then you could try Plugplayer which I used before I had a Samsung and it works fine with my Iomega iConnect which is a DLNA server.
If you could mount share on your tab this would solve your problems. I think overcome rom have cifs/samba support compiled into kernel. I am trying to do this on stock 2.3.3 but its not working. Ill try overcome.

Hi to all...
I have been wondering how can I view videos saved in my Computer via Video Streaming Using Wifi???
I have found an Application that can do it, but I do not know how to use it...
the app is VLC Stream & Convert... Its free from the market...
I also have VLC installed on my PC running Win7 Ultimate...
Please do help me how to set it up for video streaming...
Hey guys,
My first question is:
Is there a way to stream MKV files with AllShare to the Samsung Galaxy Tab?
I've got a lot of them but I can't play them. Any other file is doing just fine.
I am a newbie with streaming to the Galaxy Tab so please make it clear for me .
My second question is:
Can I stream to AllShare without using the Wifi on my Galaxy Tab. Just the 3G/HSDPA connection?

1. If you have MKV's, save yourself some headache now and in the future and use Handbrake to convert them to mp4. Everything and their mother plays mp4 natively nowadays. Allshare, mkv's, not so much. You can try an app in the market called "Mirage".
2. No, Allshare is a DLNA app, so only works within a LAN/WiFi network.
if you did a search of the Q&A section you'd find at least 3 threads about how to get your Tab to stream mkv's and other media over wifi, and even a couple solutions to get stuff streamed over 3g...
