Hi, I have the SGT P1000 and the Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant). Also have the Blu-Ray player C5500 and PC Share Manager installed on WinXP.
I can:
Use Allshare from the GTab to stream video to my TV (via Blu Ray Player)
Use PCSM to stream video from PC to TV
Use PCSM to stream video from PC to Galaxy S (via Allshare)
Use Allshare to stream video from Galaxy S to Galaxy Tab
So it all seems to be working fine. What I cannot do is stream video via PCSM from PC to my Galaxy Tab using Allshare. It seems the Galaxy Tab has a diff version of Allshare than what the Galaxy S has
I can connect fine -- Choose PCSM as server, and "my device" as player on the Galaxy tab. It connects, but on the next screen -- no files are available to view. No video, Photos, or Music shows up.
Is this a known problem for Allshare Galaxy Tab version? I've searched the threads but haven't seen a similar issue.
Many thanks for any help provided!

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

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...

just for starters..
There is Allshare app on our Notes and i have Samsung LED TV with Allshare. Now how can i put it to use? Can i stream videos/photos to the TV or viceversa? Please tell us how to use and what are the features of Allshare?
Thank you.
Allshare is an application that allows DLNA between compatible devices.
this essentially means, if you have your Phone and TV on the same LAN, then you could share media between the devices. While your samsung TV can act as just the player, your phone could act as both server and player.
sounds great. i'll try it out

With AllShare, can you do this share videos FROM TV or PC/MAC TO the Note?
I notice the AllShare app in the Note have a tab called "Remote". When I click on it, it said "No media found", so it seems that the app can do the above.
Thing is, I am not sure if there is a special apps on the PC/MAC to be able to "stream" the videos to my Note? I tried the following and no go:
- Windows Media Player
- Skifta DLNA app
I THINK allShare only works with DLNA devices, Samsung Smart TVs will def work.
As for the remote, it'll transform your note into a remote control for your Samsung TV.
I stream HD videos from my Note to my TV with ease by using AllShare.

I am thinking of the other way around: Media Server --> Note.
Hi all!
I already have a DLNA compatible Philips TV and I run 2 differnen DLNA server apps on my Win 7 PC, Windows Media Player 12 and TVersity. That way I can browse and play almost all my movies on my PC from the TV interface.
Now I just got my first Galaxy S.
Used, with stock Android 2.2. First thing, I rooted it and prepare to install CM 10.1.
But before removing stock I want to learn how DLNA works on the phone.
I took some photos and videos that I want to stream to the TV.
The stock AllShare would sometimes display my TV as selectable target, sometimes not.
When I could select the TV I could always stream photos to the TV but only sometimes videos.
The same happened with Skifta.
I will also test some other DLNA players such as MediaHouse, iMediaShare, Beam, BubbleUp.
But so far my results seem unpredicatable and unreliable.
I searched the web and XDA but found very little.
Can somebody share their experiences of streaming media from Galaxy S ot a TV?
Working configurations?
Would somebody have an install apk to AllShare?
The Samsung support pages recommend installing their AllShare server software. Is that important? MWP and Tversity should be compatible, or maybe not?

AFAIK AllShare isnt supported by CyanogenMod... AllShare works only on Stock Gingerbread Roms with the standard framework.
You have to use apps like imediashare or something. The Streaming works very well with stock... The only problems are the free apps which are provided in the market in my opinion. the most of them have a really annoying UI but it works. music, photos are working fine. for videos i cant say anything since i didnt try to stream movies.
Google Play Music "couldn't play the track that you requested" - now audio broken
I've just installed a new Chromecast, connected to my TV via an Onkyo TX-NR515 AV receiver. It worked fine at first, but then I tried casting a music track from Google Play Music on my Galaxy S4. It said "couldn't play the track that you requested". Now I can't get audio output from any other source - I've tried:
- casting videos and music from the Plex Android app (on the Galaxy S4)
- casting videos from the BBC iPlayer Android app (on the Galaxy S4)
- casting a video from the Chrome browser on a Windows 7 laptop.
I've tried rebooting the Chromecast a couple of times but it didn't help - still no audio from any sources (phone or laptop).
My OS's are:
- Phone: Android 4.4.2 on Galaxy S4
- Laptop: Windows 7 on Samsung Q330 laptop, Chrome browser.
My router is a Plusnet Technicolor TG582N. My TV is a Samsung UE55ES7000.
