Hi,
Android 4.1 seems to Have it's own DLNA support. But with Samsung allshare it was similar.
There are only options to select which type of files I want to make available. But how can I select the folders where it should search for media files? Like the files of Kiescast. None is available over DLNA.

I have a Synology 207+ and need a music program on my TyTN II, that are able to access the share folder on my Synology and play the music. I have S2P which is great so I'm looking for a program like that.
As it is a NAS, I don't think it has streaming capabilities. You might want to use one of the following programs/plugins:

HTC Network plugin (attached)
...
Use these programs to map the network drive which contains your music. This way you can browse to your music and play it using WMP (I think).
Good luck...
I already map my Synology drive with PPC total commander, so is these plugin then nessesary? I have my videofiles working with TCPMP already, it's just the music files that are missing.
if it only show video and not audio in the same dir mounted then it sounds like the audio is not in a format that TCPMP or whatever audio program can use
p.s. streaming is not the same thing as having access to files over a network
streaming is not realated with files on the clients end at all
Okay, let me elaborate. You're right I don't want to stream. I want access to the music folder on my synology and play it from there. I have it working with videofiles in TCPMP. They are two separate folders.
i'd asume you do it the same way
as a test you could try placing a single music file in the video dir and check if it shows up
Since you were able to find the video files, it should be no problem finding the audio files.
TCPMP doesn't show files with extensions it doesn't support. That seems to be your problem. Although it would have to be a really rare extension, giving the wide support of formats by TCPMP.
Can you see your music files when you browse to the folder using file explorer on your Kaiser?
PS: Just wondering: how have you managed to map a network drive using Total Commander? I didn't know the option existed (as far as I know, the option does not exist)
So what what i want to do hasn't exactly been done yet. First, I would like to manually add mp3 files to my N1 but have them automatically organized into folders by ID3 tags. So it would look like \sdcard\music\Artist\album\track.mp3. I set up a ftp server on my phone, set the music folder as the default directory and mapped it on my desktop but I manually have to organize my music and start the server every time I connect. Second, I was hoping to be able to have a trigger when you connect to a certain network, the ftp server starts. Any ideas?
I'm just looking to create a seamless way to drag and drop music wireless w/o having to deal with itunes or playlists.
if u use windows media player and get the tags correct. when you sync it will automatically organize into the correct folders
Foobar has a moving feature that allows you to create new directories based on tags.
Map your network drive, then in foobar right click, send to X:\sdcard\music\
I'll create the appropriate directories. That's what I do through USB at the moment. (I also transcode them down at the same time.
Thanks but I'm having difficulty finding the send to option. I'm using the newest foobar btw.
And does anyone know a way to trigger an app to start after establishing a connection to a specific network?
Should be in the default right click context menu.
It might be called "convert to" but in the settings you can change it to just transfer without converting.
Why not use TuneSync for iTunes? It is pretty nice, I will try to find a link.

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.

Hello,
i have mounted a cifs network source to my galaxy tab. And in the past i thought that it is not possible that the standard applications detect the media on this path. But now the application "music" (standard music player) has detected on folder filled with mp3, but an other folder with mixes is not detected. How can i add the other folder? Both are shown in the file manager.

Glaring omission from Samsung with the device.
Share Media (Dlna)
No option to browse Dlna (nearby devices) in both music and gallery app.. Are their any ports floating about where this functionality can be re added?
