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...

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

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
I've just purchased a Tab that will arrive shortly, i'm looking for something similar to Air Video that i use on my iPhone to stream movies from my DNLA NAS, is there an App that anyone can recommend?
Cheers.
i use the allshare app which is included in the tab by default and it is great!! u can use it as remote control to play streams to 3rd device or you can stream to tab
I'm using "upnplay". The UI is a bit klunky but it works great.
Anyone know of a great alternative to TVMobili on Windows OS? I'm using FUPPES atm and it makes UPNPlay freeze (for me, at least)
Is it possible to access these apps externally? At present i can access the Air Video server from any site wifi site so ican watch my movies whilst away from home.
I don't think so, they are DLNA based, so IFAIK it works only on your local network.
If you want to stream over the internet, you probably need another app/encoding station

Try Plex. As opposed to Air Video it doesn't support subtitles, but it's good and with a little port forward it can be accessed from outside of your network.

Has anyone used Orb Live, it appears to do everything that Air Video does?
What are the best apps for streaming hi10p mkv with subtitles from windows 7 desktop pc to galaxy tab 10.1?
i need a video player and an app that will let me open files on my pc onto my tablet..
what are the best options?
Wrong forum? This is SGT7'' forum, so you might want to repost your question on the right forum...
Answering your question anyway, gmote streams mkv fine but I think the subtitles won't work, not sure. There's another app, which I can't remember the name, that also streams video but no subs either I believe. Give gmote a go anyway, since mkv files have subs integrated you might actually be able to use them.
But then again, your tab has like 16GB internal storage, why don't you just put the mkv on it and watch whatever you want without any issues?

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.
