Tab's AllShare (DLNA client) - Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps

errr.. is it just me, or did somebody actually fire the people that made the AllShare app in the SGS and just took a bunch of their notes and incorporated the WORST ideas that other team had ever devised?
Ok, so AllShare wasn't a top-notch app in the SGS to begin with, but AllShare on the Tab is just a bad joke. Loading the list of files takes ~ x10 as much time as it takes on the SGS and then .. NO OTHER option to just display the files (ALL THE FILES) in alphabetical order, regardless of albums/folders however you had/wanted them to be ordered on the server... At least the SGS's version let's me browse folders. Tab's version just displays a HUGE list of files in alphabetical order, which is NOT really good for usage...
Are there any other apps to fill in that void? I mean there are DLNA servers left and right, but are there clients? That I could play videos (preferable support for dualaudio+subtitles) from my DLNA server?

Id like to know this as well... or indeed any client that will stream in full quality over the lan.

Me too ! Please write if you tryed some other DLNA client working on Samsung Galaxy Tab

I tried AndroMote. It works fine for me.

That's a Remote Control application, NOT a DLNA client as we talked about... At least I understood it so. (You can't watch movies from a DLNA server WITH THE TAB via AndroMote, can you?)
EDIT: Apparently it SHOULD be able, it just doesn't do that on my SGS. Will try on Tab later.
EDIT2: ARGHhh! Yeees, it does work - sorta. It needs to DOWNLOAD the WHOLE file over the connection to the device, THEN play it... with installed available applications, not within the app. so... NO, not really a suitable replacement. It's not really a DLNA media player, but a tool to download files from said server.
Nice to have, I guess, but not what I'm after.

You can do this with any lan file manager. I use Astro smb.

Which is all well and good as long as you're not watching anything decently HD or over 2GB in file size
I agree the AllShare app is aweful. I've found that ES File Explorer over SMB does a good job but neither the built in Video player or Rockplayer behave well with this. It only works if I turn off hardware decode in Rockplayer, which means it cannot keep up with the HD video demands.
UPnPlay in the market has a decent attempt via DLNA however it chokes on HD too.

I think ftgg99 meant you can do with filemanager anything you could do with AndroMote, not DLNA client

Indeed i did. And when you sab behaves properly you mean it doesnt work because streamimg headers are not appacked to filetypes.

Try twonky from the market, works quite well.

There are two versions of it now, the one that has a pie chart icon is similar to all share

Indeed you are right, it does! Thanks!
Err.. Anybody got it to work? I get only an error with every single video I try to play. I only get "unable to start playback"

Indeed not. However you should have a Dona service already. I can't get it to work either, probably because I removed both allshare and dem content launcher... I would love to get them back, but have no apostle.

Twonky looks good and is waaay faster than AllShare, but unfortunately is out of the question since it refuses to play .avi files (and mkvs and wmvs and and. I can't get it to play anything at all really. Don't have any mp4s around, I hear those should work...)
Also, I don't know if it had something to do with the server-side update (I use TwonkyManager v2 in a Win7 machine) but couple of days ago my "browse by folder" ability disappeared completely, no I can just browse everything by date of playlists, which isn't at all practical with folder-based organization...

I'm looking for a streaming solution too for the Tab. On the iPad I had the StreamToMe software running, and it would transcode the video on the fly, and stream to iPhone or iPad. Doesn't seem like there's similar solution on Android. I tried copying some of the movie file I have and it's just laggy to play even locally with vPlayer and RockPlayer. Anyone has a good solution?

VLC or other stream for the Evo?

I'm trying to set up a VLC stream from my PC with all of my media to my phone. I'm hoping I can create a nice little media server with my 2TB of video so I can watch them any where, any time.
I can't find any new information for VLC on Android although I know the beta for the iPad was just released. Anyone know any more?
I've been looking for something like this as well, I've had no luck streaming anything. The only thing that has worked is orb and the quality sucks. I also had tversity running but its just to finnicky with x64 Windows 7. You may wanna try tversity if you have a atleast a core 2 machine running x86 xp.
Sent from my HTC EVOusing XDA App
There's no VLC for Android. The closest thing is RockPlayer and the built-in Browser/Video/Music player.
And VLC on your computer doesn't quite work that way, either. You can only have it set to be a streaming server (like an Internet radio/video station) and then watch/listen to that stream from your Browser. You can't control it unless you get a VLC remote app (search in the Market) at which point you'll have to disconnect from the stream to open the remote.
As for anything similar, there's plenty. I just don't know/use any.
checkout VLC Stream and Convert in the market. VERY COOL app. Allows you to control VLC on the PC from the phone, including stream video from the PC to phone. Even allows a basic browser to find the media. Video quality over wifi is great. Can't say I've tried streaming through the internet but I'd bet its pretty decent. Dev has a website with instructions
Ok i just tried this app and it works perfect.

I had the same problem on Fresh 3.2. If you can't get his lastest version of the app to work for you, then I pulled this apk off of a nandroid backup. It's of an older version that still works for me. (Still have to change port to 5554).
Also, per the developers warning, VLC 1.1.4 supposedly has audio streaming issues, so you'll probably want 1.1.3 also.

Netflix on G-tab!!

Hi Folks,
Latest version of PLAYON supports andriod (didnt see it in the release notes,however, it seems to work).. I was able to get netflix working thru Playon, works great on the dolphin browser.
Where did you get the app? Didn't find it on Market.....
Sent from my VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1 using Tapatalk
Try playstation's website. I just got an email from them a few weeks ago about the availability for android.
Sounds like it is not as much an app as it is a portal. An app is best, since then much better cache storage and smooth playback. Straight feed video quality tends to suck butt. This is why playing Netflix using Xbox, Window media and PS3 is far better results than staight from Netflix own site.

Of course it would be better, but for the time being, this is a great find until Netflix finally decides how to tackle their DRM bull and gets to work on something more official. I'll take something over nothing.
I haven't tried it yet, but this could make that $8 a month even more awesome.. lol
Hi,
Can anyone explain how to do this? I have a Netflix account, but not a Playon account...

Netflix on g-tab
Playon (http://www.playon.tv/playon) is a mediaserver that sits on your windows PC. Playon allows sites like HULU, Netflix... and media on your PC to be streamed to devices like a PS, xbox, wii etc.
You will need to load the Playon program on your PC and then enter netfilx info in there. As long as you are on the same network, you should be able to access the mediaserver thru your tablet. (Playon has a free trial.. I believe)

I don't know if there is an android app for Playon, but uPnPlay works for menus at least.
Won't play movies for me with VEGAn 5.1 using Rockplayer, Vegan native player, ES File Explorer's player, Vital Player or Vplayer.
If you want to try, download the Playon 14 day free trial
http://www.playon.tv/download
and install on a PC in the same network as your Gtab.
Follow the instructions to clear a firewall port and start the server running.
Go to the Market and install "uPnPlay" on your Gtab.
If everything is set up OK, launching uPnPlay will show the Playon server automatically.
Select the server, select Netflix from the list, enter your username and password, and you should be good to go, for the menus that is.
As stated, for me, no video, just a black screen.
BTW, Playon will set you back $39 for for the first year, $19 per year after that, unless you go for the lifetime $79 offer.
When Netflix comes out with an app (they're working on one), then Playon won't be needed.
I'm guessing all this may be dependent on Honeycomb's support of HTTP live streaming.
We should know more in a couple days (Feb. 2) at the press event.

omkar62,
What ROM are you running on your Gtab, and how did you get dolphin browser to access the mediaserver?
I can confirm. Stock ROM, 3389, standard tweaks (flash, gmail, etc), latest playon (unknown version), latest dolphin browser (just downloaded it). Went to mobile playon site (m.playon.tv), and it worked like a champ.

Everything seems to work with Dolphin browser. Buffers, but after "setting up your movie player", it falls back to the beginning before the buffering.
Anyway, thanks for all the help.
I suspect VEGAN 5.1 might be the culprit, so I'll try another ROM.
* EDIT * Don't know why, but it started working with no changes. It ran long enough to get an idea of the video quality.
I was hoping for a big improvement over slingbox. It's better, but not by much.
It died halfway through a movie, so I'm just going to live with slingbox for now.
Hopefully, when Slingplayer HD comes to android (like it has for iPad) things will improve.
Just tried it and this works great on my gtab running vegan 5.1. Just set it up on my local network and it was breeze. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
can confirm it works for cm7 beta too
also Hulu is working too
Thanks for the update. Works great with vegan 5.1.
Make sure to set dolphin user agent back to android. On desktop setting it just stays at a black screen.
Since I bought playon back when it first came out this makes it valuable again. Plus I think Netflix app will be on hold until honeycomb... ---->
Feeling kinda dumb about now, but how do you start the video up? I can browse my queue and I'm able to see the details of movies but I can't get them to play.

Never mind, it helps to have the latest version installed. I thought play on updated automaticaly but I guess not.
Nice, anyone know how to make it work on a PC?
Works with my Vegan 5.1 as well.
Seems the Mobile playon.tv doesn't work form any PC on the network. Anyone know how to trick them into acting like an android browser?
Thinking of getting Playon to overcome some of the downsides of the Roku version for Hulu Plus....
I use Slingplayer to access my TiVo on the tablet and play Netflix from there. Works great
cant wait for netflix
They need to hurry up with Netflix. There seem to be some pretty good workarounds but jeez I would just prefer to go straight to netflix! I hope it comes out soon!
confirm netflix/hulu etc on vegan 5.1
manually set my router (which is UPNP enabled) to pass the port through the the Playon PC.
Black screen for a moment, then buffers and plays perfect!

[Q] MyCloud/MyNet

Hi, noob here with his first thread. I've ordered my transformer with the dock and loved the idea of streaming from my laptop to my tablet but from the scarce reviews which I have read and seen the application doesnt work too well? Can any please look into this in a bit more detail and explain if it works or not?
many thanks
Not sure where you've seen it doesn't work well because I've got MyCloud up and running and was streaming music from my PC to my TF and had absolutely no probs. Smooth playback and only times it jumped were because my PC is having issues and was at stupidly high CPU usage. Other than that works a treat and even checked out a vid and looks to work really well too. Not worked out what I'd use MyNet for yet as couldn't get it working with my PC but seems to be for DLNA equipped devices as had a message to check DLNA devices so guess it's for streaming from the TF to a DLNA equipped TV or the likes.
Mycloud (Splashtop) works very well for me....I even played WOW a bit on my TF with the help of the docking stations, it's absolutely fine to do some simple daily quests on the TF..
ive never got it to stream videos smoothly. not sure if im doing something wrong but playing movies using mycloud is always choppy.

in one particular review the application simply fails to stream any of the files, although after doing some more digging i have seen it working. So is it a case of incorrect set up or does the tablet support only a limited number of file formats? i mainly use .avi and .mkv, wil these work??
I've used it to stream music to my Sony Bravia TV via DLNA and it works fine. I'll test some video once I get some onto the device and post results.

Streaming to the tablet has no limitations with regards to file types, remember it's only displaying whatever's on the host so you can play anything your PC/laptop will play. Obviously if you're using your tablet as the host and streaming to your TV/PC/laptop etc then it's completely reliant on what the TF can do. I guess choppy playback and issues are all down to setup and quality of the network. If you have a good setup you'll not have any issues with streaming any files. I have a fairly basic setup with all devices on a WiFi N network and runs well enough

Stream video from PC

Hi guys
Im trying to find a app than can help stream movies and view other files on my PC. I havent had any luck so far and i tried searching but didnt end up with anything that feels simple enough?
On ipad there was a great app that made me able to view all files and play video that converted the files "live" so they were able to play on the pad. Was superb.
Anyone know anything like that?

I'm not sure what you mean. I also use upnp and moboplayer and works great. Moboplayer can't stream from the network and mynet does not play any codec other than h.264. With upnp and moboplayer, I don't have to worry about what type of video/audio file it is.
I've been using Upnplay and Mobo player and that combo works great for files served by a media server. I would also like to play files directly from a network share without needing the media server. CifManager sounds perfect except it appears to require root. Any similar options that don't require root? Any other apps that would allow a network drive to be permanently mapped as a folder on the tablet?

First media sharing needs to be set up on your desktop (Google can help with this part) then as long as you are connected to the same home network as your desktop it will show up in upnplay just like it does in mynet (its name will be the set name of the PC). Then you can navigate via libraries or just via the folder paths to find your media files (this is how I do it to avoid setting up libraries). Once u have found your media file run the file using moboplayer/vplayer/etc. This will only work for video.
Hope that helps..

Cool features that actually work

Thought I'd make a thread for things that do work well on the Sensation and may make people stick to this phone until the other issues are resolved.
DLNA function: I spent a few hours putting my Samsung TV on my network and I can send video, pics and music direct from my phone to my TV via Wifi from anywhere in the house and its very very good. I have a film in AVI and it steamed perfectly.
Forward SMS to email: I think this is in 2.3.3 anyway but useful when phone it unusable like at some work places.
Built in streaming: I can scan music, videos and pics from a file server and play them on the phone directly with no additional software.
Lexar 32 gig MicroSD Class 10: Definitly works fine in this phone. Check Amazon
Built in slideshow as wallpaper: I like having different background images randomly and this is good for that. Point it at a folder full of images (I have a folder full of downloaded landscapes, sea, etc., type images specifcally for this. It replaces the need for things like Wallpaper Rotator. Only snag is that it changes the images every 30 seconds or so so it maybe CPU intensive (doesn't seem to be though). I'd rather it was hourly but can't see anywhere to change it.
Please add others as you find them.
Lockscreen icons and lockscreen animations: I like having weather animations or my photos spinning around under the lock screen, looks cool. Also being able to change the lock screen icons does make that feature quite handy

No good with MKV. None of the players on my phone will play it natively even though my Samsung TV plays them fine from a hardrive or memory stick. On my phone I have Divxplayer (or demoplayer) and moboplayer and they wont play it on the phone itself, let along anywhere else. Need a player that supports these.

Rock player supports mkv also try using skifta to stream it via dlna
