Hi,
I've had my 4X HD for about a week now and love it to bits. It's a great replacement for my previous phone (Nokia N900). I only so far have one problem.
I use ps3 media server and tversity to stream to ps3. My n900 could also see these media servers and copy / paste from the out of the box. Which is what i want to be able to do with my 4X HD. Basically i want to copy / paste my music files over to the external sd card via these. I cannot seem to find an app suitable for this and this doesnt appear to be something out of the box either. Can anyone suggest an app for this?
Thanks.

Hello everyone - I think either I've missed posts on this, my "buzz words" are not correct, OR... it's only MY issue.
Trying to download and play MP3s. The download perfectly to my computer. Now...
1. Took FOREVER to Active Sync the files over to MY DOCUMENTS for my device. Is there another way?
2. Now that they're over there, I successfully move them to my storage card. When I ask Media Player to "update the library", it pulls everything in to include my voice commands for TOM TOM!
3. I want to create a playlist, but for some reason I don't know how. I click on MY PLAYLISTS (selecting Storage Card of course), and it finds NOTHING!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Do you have a memory card reader for your computer? if so just load everything up on your memory card and just put it in your phone
No card reader I'm afraid. My wife has a Treo 650, and the files just FLY right over when she syncs. And now that the files are OVER there, I can't put them in a play list. I guess I don't know how. And I'm searching the net fevorishly trying to find out! The Treo 650 uses Real Player, and I'm using the Media Player that came with Dutty's 4/29 hybrid.

Try plugging the device into the computer, click on explore, mobile device, storage card, create a my music folder in there, then just select the songs you want to move, drag and drop them. It does take a little while to transfer, especially if the music files are good quality. After that is done, open windows media player search for new tunes, make sure it is searching in storage card, my music. That should do it. I never use activesync to move files. btw htc media player is very basic and doesn't have play lists wmp does.
Hi,
i'm having a issue with Media Scanner and thanks to that with nearly all media players on Android.
Let me explain .
I don't have my music on Galaxy Tab, i have a share on network, mounted via CIFS to /mnt/sdcard/music. With apps like MortPlayer or via explorer utils i can see the contents of this folder.
Unfortunately this folder is not indexed by Media Scanner, as even if i use a SD rescan util (which forces the Media Scanner to start scanning), none of the files show up in the standard music player. On other side, if i manually copy the files to internal memory via USB, then after USB disconnect the Media Scanner runs and finds all new files - except those from those from the share.
Now, the question is if this is some sort of Media Scanner limitation (like if it ignores any mounts) or do i have some configuration issue ?
Of course i could use MortPlayer, but i don't really like using this kind of player if could have a library instead.

Have you find solution? I'm having same problem. Tried to google, but no luck.
No solution unfortunately. It looks like a limitation of the Android media scanner.
Hi,
iam using the standard Player called "musik" on my galaxy tab.
I have mounted a CIFS on /mnt/sdcard/media/subfolders
There are 3 folders which contain mp3 files. Others Videos...
One week ago i have noticed that the Media Scanner has detected the content from only one folder full of mp3s. I thougt that it is impossible that the standard player detects files from cifs. But it has detected the media. I dont now why. The other two folders with mp3-mixes are not detected.

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,
I have a galaxy tab 2 with all my home videos ,pics and stuff.. I'd like to access those files or even stream videos that are on the tablets sd card to my phone .
I use an app called AIRSTREAM now to access the contents of my laptop through my phone . with this app i can browse my laptop harddisk as if they are on my phone and stream videos and copy files over wifi . I need an app that does this phone to phone instead of phone to pc.
Will i be able to do this by installing a samba server on the tab and use es file explorer on my phone to find it ?
ps - i hope the question is clear . english is not my native language.
use app called software data cable from play store

Bump..! Anyone ?
In my opinion, the best way to access files of your PC is to share your folders on the PC and mount them on your phone through CIFS. This is the most natural way, just like you'd do it between PCs.
CifsManager makes this pretty easy. You just need to enter the path to your PC share, user name and password, and where you what the share to be mounted on your phone's file system. Then you can mount and unmount the share with a singe click, and access all the files from the PC just if they were local files.
Note: The phone needs to be rooted though. And there is a bug in android kernel 3.4.0, which makes it hard to get CIFS working. ("Invalid argument" error, even if you enter everything correctly). Let us know if you run into that problem.
