All iMS channels seem to be streaming well to PS3. However, some personal videos bring up the common ps3 data type not supported (800288c9) error.
Old iPhone 3Gs videos seem to play fine. Some iPhone 4 videos play, but most get same error. Non of the Galaxy Note videos are playable.
If you're using iMS or any other app to stream videos to either your DLNA TV or Game console, could you please share your experiences? Thanks!
Tried a bunch of other media server apps from the store. Skifta, home dia, UPnPlay, bubble up, soft media player... Skifta and iMedia are the best/easiest to set up. But still no luck playing videos... seems that PS 3 just doesn't play well with the Note video format (3gp).

For the past few weeks I've been looking into different media servers to stream video to my android devices without re-encoding each video for mobile use. I tried TVersity, but I wasn't able to get the streaming to work. Lately I've been using Subsonic to stream everything and it's been great. It streams any type of video through a flash player on the fly. It's also very easy to install and even works outside of your home network. The amazing thing is how fluid this flash player works on the G-Tab. Coming from a rooted Pandigital Novel, this device's video and flash playback capabilities keep amazing me. If you are looking for a media server application to stream video, I'd highly recommend subsonic. What other media servers does everyone use?
I use Twonky Server on my Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and Twonky Mobile on my Gtab. Works great.
Hey fellow xoom users, i found this app that finally solves the problem of media streaming from windows to android devices. All u have to do is download the app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skifta.android.app&feature=search_result
and create an account and download the desktop client, and fiddle with your windows media player settings and it works beautifully for streaming movies, pictures, and music. It works on local wifi and over public networks when u sign up. It works with any DLNA device too, and an xbox 360 and ps3 for streaming. It is the only app that works for this. If u have an alternate media player for unsupported formats like avi it even plays those files through that app while streaming. and from my use, it streams very well over any half decent wifi, but still requires wifi. i tried it on my EVO 4g and even oven 4g it would not stream, so thats the only downside. ENJOY!!!

Looks awesome, I was just looking for something like this. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks
down side is that unless you tagged your movies for streaming during conversion you can only download from your NAS. Can't beat cifs manager for no holds barred streaming
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.
If i buy a chromecast will i be able to go to say movie4k.to with my phone and stream it to my tv using google chrome? i mean i know i can stream netflix or youtube but i want to watch online streaming movies from different websites. the away i watch online movies now is by hooking up a laptop thru hdmi to my 60 inch tv and it works. let me know. thanks
you can Tab Cast. just install this add-on to your Chrome browser:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd
however this Tab Cast feature is in beta. you may notice a few hiccups. like say video stuttering. or even audio/video out of sync issues.
You can do that but android chrome does not support tab cast, only the pc chrome.
I have done it numerous times, depending on your computer and the strength of your wifi, it can play without any hiccups.
Sometimes I did get lags but only when I was running many processes on my pc

Hi, my chromecast plays most youtube videos fine... except a red-band trailer for a film I tried to watch (it said not available),
I can watch it on my laptop though... are there age restrictions or something on the youtube app specifically?
That's not unique to the Chromecast - I've seen that happen with other streaming media players as well (Youtube video won't play on the media player, but plays on a PC at the same IP address with no special measures). I haven't seen any good explanation. Possibly that clip uses a rare video format that isn't supported on the media player?
