How is this supposed to work? If my PC ( win7 64bit ) is on and I have enabled streaming ( I currently can stream to my PS3 in another part of the house) i should be able to see my files on the phone and stream from the PC to my phone, right?
Unfortunately i don't see any media servers listed. This is with the phones wifi turned on or off.
Has anyone else gotten All Share to work?
Work on my Macbook
Works on my un55c6500.
is ur comp set up ok? and i've only streamed from phone to comp and tv not vise versa.

yes. but maybe it only goes from teh phone to the computer? Not sure...
I'm also having trouble getting Allshare to play media from my pc (win7 x64, running PS3 Media Server). I can see the server and files on the phone, but they won't play, even transcoded ones.
Works for me connecting to a Vista machine.
Works fine for me on W7 64bit. I'm using windows media player to serve. It's pretty fast too and great quality. I jumped around on the videos and it buffered pretty fast and without any problems. I'm liking it a lot. The only trick is sorting out which videos are playable. It doesn't like certain codecs.
So how do you get it to work? It sees my shared drive on my computer but no files come up.

Hi
I have read the letters DLNA in every review of Samsung Captivate. Does anybody know what it is? And or how it works. Any kind of information is helpful.

basically you can share stuff over a network or wifi to yer mobile device...that is what AllShare is for.
For example... I can stream (via WiFi) videos from my Windows 7 computer to my Captivate. I can also do the reverse and stream videos from my Captivate to my computer's Windows Media Player or my hacked WDTV media player.

I have DNLA setup on my PS3, but I cant get it to work with the Captivate using AllShare. Whats your setup ?

I don't have a PS3, but if you have and want to try it over Windows 7:
For Windows 7->Captivate, you'll need to go to "Network and Sharing Center" and turn on "media streaming" somewhere in there. The files must be added in Windows Media Player's library. In the Captivate, select play from a server.
For Captivate->Windows 7, the Captivate's name shows up in Windows Media Player's left side. Click it and it shows the list of what's on the phone. In Captivate, just start All Share (nothing else).
anyone know how to have All Share NOT stretch the resolution of the incoming video and keep the aspect ratio of the file?

Annoying, isn't it?
In the actual "Video Player" app you can control how the video gets stretched - but not in the AllShare player. Why Samsung would choose to torture us like this is beyond me, but it makes me hate them so very much.
I will pay anyone who can figure out how to hack that size/aspect button from the video player to the allshare player.
Interesting....

I'm installing it just by clicking it in on the phone (not using adb) and it just says not installed. Any idea why? I will try twonky though, thanks guys.
EDIT: adb gives me "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" when i do this. My phone is rooted. Hmph.
EDIT2: I just tried twonky server. It works perfectly, i think its better than the samsung app, so i'll just be using that. Plus it look cool

Good question. I am a Ps3 play myself and although i have already managed to stream videos with my phone over to the Ps3....i am still curious about music. I may try it later and report back what i find.
How did you do that?

If your Ps3 and phone are connected on the same network then they should "see" each other fine. If you scroll down on your Movies category on the Ps3 you will see your phone listed there.
Well, I can see my phone in Movies, Music and Photos on PS3. I can even see the songs and the photos I have on my phone. However, when I try to play a track I get DLNA 2104 error. I can see the thumbnails of the photos but when I try to view it I get a "network error". Is it possbile that this happens because my Netgear router is not configured as an Access Point?

Oh ok. I got that same error as well. Basically you want to make sure that:
A) Your Firewall (whether its 3rd party or just windows xp/ vista/ etc) is set to allow your device (ps3/ phone) to stream and share files.
B) Allow "network and sharing" center's Discovery mode and "file sharing" within Windows (or whatever OS you are running).
c) Also tell your net-gear that your Ps3 and phone are allowed to share files as well. I'm not quite sure how Netgear has their firewall setup. You may have to open DMZ (wouldnt recommend it tho).
I think theres more....ill have to post back when i remember all my steps...lol
a) What the Firewall on my computer has to do with the connection between the phone and PS3?
b) Similar to a). It's about the phone and the PS3 not the computer, right?
c) I'm not sure how do I do that.
Has anyone have any experience using the Transformer as virtual desktop?
I would love to be able to log in via the browser via windows small business server to run all of my work apps when necesary while on the road.
I read that there was included software to help with this??? (Can't find the review that mentioned it now)
(I apologize if there is a thread somewhere on this!)
Thanks!

That will be my first project once I get mine in, test it with couple of remote desktop apps. I will update you once I write a review!
I use virtual desktop, virtual viewer and pocketcloud on my EVO and they have helped when a PC/windows wasn't available so its worth it. It would be interesting to see how these apps behave on a tablet.
there's a built in app for remote desktop. I'll report back after I get mine friday.
The app built-in (since firmware update 1) is a free version of splashtop. It works very well.
forgive the stupid question...
But with a virtual desktop app, I know you can log into your computer and make the computer do stuff (run programs, open files, etc.).
I only tried it out once a while ago on a phone and it was neat, but altogether too difficult to really use on a phone. However witha tablet, that should be a different story.
My question is, can you load a media file one the computer and will it actually display on your tablet? Could I open Zune up on my computer and play a song and have the sound come through on the tablet? I imagine that's not possible... but a guy can dream can't he?

That is the idea behind splastop but i could be wrong.. if you wait and soon we will have mobile virtualization happening on these devices.
Holy cow, thanks for the fast response. And I just went to splashtop's website... That just looks great, exactly what I would want.

If you are looking for something like RDP, then pocketcloud is good app... which I prefer over a apps like logmein which require installation on the client.

Yes it can do all that. It even streams video files pretty well. It sends the audio to the tablet as long as you set your desktop machine to stereo sound.

I've used both, on my iPhone and now on my Acer (the trial, I'm not gonna buy it when it will be free on my transformer).
If you have a strong wifi connection it's awesome.
It's awesome that ASUS includes it for free.
Since I have a captive audience..
Can you log in, play music, then switch back to the tab and still have the music playing in the background (like if I wanted to browse the web from the tablet's apps while i listen to the music from the remote log in)?

Is there a way to watch videos loaded in SkyDrive on you device?
Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yeah you can. You just have to make a folder and if you're using SkyDrive.com, click on the checkbox of that folder and click on the 'Information' tab in the right column. In 'Folder Type' change it from Documents (the default) to Photos.
Now if you go to that folder in the Pictures Hub or the SkyDrive app, you should see the thumbnail for the video. But of course Windows Phone will only play the video files its supports natively, i.e. MP4 files.
Hope this works for you (it works for me!)
Awesome thanks!
Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Holy crap this is awesome. I have been looking for a way to control what albums / folders show up in the photo hub. This totally does this, along with the playing .mp4 benefit. Thanks!
Awesome sauce! Couldn't get it to work in the Pictures Hub at first, but somehow it did after I refreshed SkyDrive on my browser. Didn't work even after syncing my email and SkyDrive on my phone, or maybe it just happened to refresh on my phone afterwards too.
Edit// Oh right, I did try uploading a picture as well, maybe it refreshed after that.
Can't get it to work. Do you upload using the SkyDrive website or the app that was released last week. I used the app.

[UPDATE: Never mind. I had to restart the Skydrive program on my PC for some reason to get it to start the sync.]
I'm having trouble, too. I'm not sure what the correct sequence is.
I created a folder on my PC in the SkyDrive folder that was created when I installed the "app". Then I put a video file into it. I thought it would sync and create a parallel folder on the Skydrive site. Nothing happened. So I created a folder with the same name on Skydrive. The file from my PC didn't sync. I looked for a way to manually sync on both my PC and Skydrive but couldn't find any.
I also tried to drag my file to Skydrive but it complained it was more than 300k (IIRC).
Please tell me what the correct sequence is to get a new folder created on Skydrive and to sync files from my PC.
D
Only way I can get movies to play is view skydrive through the browser. Vids don't show in my pictures hub and on the skydrive app, it just gives me the vid details when I tap it.
To watch MP4 videos directly from SkyDrive, need right MP4...
Not all MP4 files are created alike, unfortunately.
My old videos are from a (gasp) Palm Pre.
Converted them to Microsoft Zune HD WMV movie format with "Any Video Converter" (freeware), and volia! I can watch them on my phone again (without taking up the space!!!)
For some reason the conversion to some of the other MP4 type files did not work as well as the WMV format for me. I don't pretend to be a videofile, but works well enough. They're not high quality vids in the first place.
Oh, and if you are having trouble with a "new folder" on your SkyDrive folder in your computer showing up online, try refreshing the SkyDrive page, or log/in out. It should pop up.
Hello Chums,
Did a quick search here and everywhere else for that matter and couldn't find anything of help.
Basically we've purchased a trio of pads, I was testing one of them several days ago to see if it could get media from my HTPC, it could get music, pictures and videos. It was a fairly painless process, I already have home sharing on and allow devices connected to the network access to my media.
I tested in the default picture app, music app and video app > Nearby Devices > HTPC (everything showed up)
Today all the devices can see the music and pictures but none can see the videos. My videos are fully shared on the network, the homegroup is set up correctly, I've tried restarting all devices including the HTPC, I've reset the homegroup and permissions.
Feel like I'm banging my head on a brick wall, any idea what could be causing the videos not to show?
Thanks in advance.

Hey trem,
Thanks for the alternative but these tabs are for my 3 daughters aged 4,5 & 6. I don't want them to have access to the file system so I'd prefer to troubleshoot using the default video app as it means they can't get access to anything other than my default media libraries. Do you think you could help?

Exactly what software is running on the HTPC to share the media?

No 3rd party software, W8 with homegroup configured and sharing to devices enabled. Music, pictures and video libraries fully shared to network and the tab default picture and music apps pic up the share but the video app doesn't.
When I open the video app I can see the HTPC but it displays "no videos".
Ok round 2
The hard way
1st register to Samsung Apps on all the tablets
2nd You need to install on your PC Allshare Notification from samsung
3rd Update on the 3 tablets Allshare Play
www.allshareplay.com
Then you sign in to that web page (from your PC)
Whats going to be shared is on settings :
Registered devices
Setup the folder to share with registered devices
You must have your PC and the 3 tablets shown on Registered devices
If you still cant connect from the tablets , right click on the icon of allshare on your PC (next to the time bottom right corner)
Ckick nearby device connection settings and put on all the tablets allow.
You must use allshared to browse.
Good luck

There is a difference between network share and DLNA or UPNP shared. Folder shared on the "network" may not show up in DLNA devices which is what Samsung Allshare expects.
Check this article for tutorial on setting up DLNA in Windows . applies to windows 7 and 8. I use this and my video work great on the Sam Tab
