DLNA - How to?

I watched a video not long ago of playing music with your HTC sensation through the Playstation 3 via DLNA. I've had no luck on setting it up. Has anyone did this and if so how?

No idea how to setup DLNA with a PS3, I am having problems with my Sony BDP-S570. Any help is appreciated.

I was wondering this too, when i use connected media app and select video my Tv shows up , but when I select it as a player it always state that its unresponsive, tv doesnt show the phone as a media server either

Download Twonky app from market. Open app, go through settings tv/other device should pick up phone. Any probs let me know...

Not sure about ps3 but i have used 2 player (free market app) to play music on a variety of DLNA devices.
Oops didn't see this was an old thread that got bumped!

Use the app "Connected Media"

I am using Imediashare from market, easy to setup.. work with music, photos and videos

Great!

Works like a charm!!!
You can even share online content

Has anyone had any luck sharing media to an Xbox 360? I can stream photos only, using the connected media app, via WMP on my Win7 notebook.
I'd like to know if it's possible to share stuff (photos, music + videos) directly to my XB, using DLNA or not, either way.

I use doubletwist with airsync, it allows you to airshare to ps3 and xbox360 and i think a few others too

I've. Used all apps here but no one of these are working on a Samsung home cinema system.

It's dead easy (when you know how, and for Microsoft's definition of "dead easy")
First, you need to set your Xbox up as a Media Center extender, so with both the Xbox and your computer on the network and no firewall blocking anything between them:
1. On the 360 start Media Center, it will give you a numeric code
2. On the computer start Media Center and add an extender (tasks, then along to the right)
3. Enter the code the 360 displays and you should now have the 360 accessing the MC of your computer (you can close MC on the computer)
4. Open Connected Media on your phone and select the type of media you fancy streaming
5. Select the media (for photos, it starts a slideshow starting from the pic you select, if your pics are too large then they won't show for long due to their loading times, but you can pause them on the phone and manually go through them), you should then be taken to the player screen where you can select the "Xbox 360 Media Center Extender" and done
See? Wasn't what was required obvious?
Oh you'll need your computer on whenever you want to use the 360 as a MCE, but you don't need to log in (with W7 at least - the MCE logs in with it's own account in the background).
Basically, the 360 doesn't enter DLNA mode unless it's acting as a MCE, of course there's always the chance MS will release an update that allows DLNA without needing MC on a PC, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

[Q] 3D button on LAN movies

I was wondering if anyone had been able to stream a 3D movie from a NAS\Media server. I have been trying but failing horribly. I can play the movies fine if I copy them to my O3D but streaming them from my home server (using serviio) doesn't work (they just play side by side with no 3D button option).
Anyone else had any luck doing this ?

If you launch a movie file with Astro it also doesn't have 3D options. It seems it's something triggered when launched from the gallery.

i wondered about this earlier today and also failed to manage to stream any 3D content.
seems for now the only way to do it is through the gallery.

You still got me beat then, I haven't managed to stream ANY content, period!
It was one of the first things I tried to do and never got a single thing to stream with any software I could find that mentioned streaming.

Where are you trying to stream from? i use upnplay, which picks up my dlna equipment (nas and whs 2011 server). i also have serviio installed on whs aswell plex. plex is fantastic for streaming. i highly recommend it.

does it let you stream and view 3d content in 3d though?

No, unfortunately not.

[Q] looking for program to control music played on XBOX

I am looking for a program that I can use as a remote to control the music played on my XBOX. I have airplay but all that will do is let the xbox play the music on the phone, it still has to be controlled through the xbox.
I used the trial version of jamcast and was able to use that as a virtual sound card. I don't mind spending some money for a program, but 30 for that program is more than I want to play.
I really don't care if I am playing music from my phone, computer or even streaming a radio station, I just want to be able to control it from my phone and not have to carry a remote around the house with me. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

i found 2player network music player, but can't get to see my xbox as where to stream my music to.

You mean you don't need the Xbox to be the player? If so, Winamp + aWARemote will do the job for you

He wants to stream music to his Xbox & needs to be able to control what music is playing via his phone rather than skipping tracks on his Xbox.
Edit: just found this:
How to Use 2player With an Xbox 360
2Player allows you to remotely control an Xbox 360 when the Xbox 360 is running Media Center (but not when running the the default Xbox 360 music player).
To launch Media Center on your Xbox 360, go to the Xbox Dashbord, and select Windows Media Center from the My Xbox menu. If you have not previously used Windows Media Center, you will be guided through the configuration process.
Once Media Center is running on your Xbox 360, you should be able to see an Xbox 360 Media Center Extender entry in the target device selection dialog of 2player.

App that can do both photos and videos?

I am looking for an app that can play both photos and videos in the same playlist from a presentation standpoint so I can hook my tablet up next to a TV and have it stream both to the TV.
Right now the Gallery can do photos and MX Player can do Videos, but I need something that can do both in the same play list. Anyone have any ideas?

So you're basically looking for a media server? I use Twonky. Check out the description, but it should match what you are looking for.
I have only once used the app to stream (via WiFi) a movie from my tablet to a TV and it worked fine. I also have Twonky running on my NAS as a permanent media server to serve all my devices that are connected to my home network.

I will look into it, but not looking to have this need to be over a server.
I am looking for something to simply play a slide show that can go from photos, to video, to photos, etc and have all the files on my tablet and not stored remotely.

I think I confused you. Twonky is just that, it runs on your tablet so the TV (or any compatible media play device) can play/display the files you allow it to access. Twonky will turn your tablet into a media server.
I was only explaining that I have used it only once on my tablet. This was to watch a video that I had on my tablet on a TV via WiFi. So I was not using a HDMI cable to hook my tablet to the TV, which is something different. In addition I tried to explain that I use Twonky for the exact same purpose at home, just not on the tablet, but on a NAS.

I see apps for Twonky Mobile, Beam, Video, etc on there. Which one should I use to display these on my tablet in a playlist/slideshow. I will be attached via HDMI.

It doesnt seem to allow me to put both a video and a photo into the same play list... is that correct?

I think what the OP is looking for is a single application that can play both audio and video content within.
Try QuickPic, its a gallery application similar to the stock Gallery, but can play video as well (says standard video on the page).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
If you want to create a 'playlist' of sorts, you could create a folder and put your files (pictures, video) inside of it. It should come up as a folder in QuickPic. I'm not sure about the ordering however, you'll have to play with that. Possibly alphabetical, or date modified.

Take a look at BubbleUpnp.
It's a dlna app, and the paid version lets you set up your device as a renderer or a library. Set your phone as the server/library, set your TV as the renderer, et voila...
I've tried loads of options, and this is by far the most comprehensive.
You even have the option to subscribe to a cellular based protocol...

Need more info.......
Have you set the media share in settings > more settings > nearby devices > file sharing? What are you using to share, allshare, imediashare etc?
Have you tried rebooting the tab? Daft as it may sound, it may just work

i got a problem with streaming to my tv when my router had broken. try different router.
if it will not help try to stream to different tv or console.
if your tv is connected through wi-fi try to connect it with cable.
demo movie needs hudge bandwidth to stream.
or maybe your tv does not support the codec demo movie is in?
did you try different formats?
one more thing you can also try is to check if using any third party app, like imediashare or mediahouse, will play the movie to the tv, as they are independant of samsung's all share app. if they will it means there is a problem with the tab. if not, there is an issue somwwhere else (tv or router))
hope it helps and not make more confusion

From your descriptions, the feature you are using isn't DLNA but WiFi Direct.
WiFi Direct works differently than DLNA.
WiFi Direct works by sending the Media File to your TV & The TV then take control of it.
DLNA works by browsing Media Files on your SGN10.1 (your SGN10.1 becoming a Media Server) & you can choose which media to play on your TV.
Can you give us a little bit more details :
What TV you are using?
What Video Container (AVI,MKV,MP4,FLV,etc...) & Codec (MP4,H.264,E.264,XVid,etc...) you are using?
Both WiFi Direct & DLNA only work AFTER you register the DEVICE (SGN10.1) to your TV.
If not registered your TV will deny any connection attempt due to security measure.

Yeah I agree with last post your using wifi direct which I have trouble keeping a connection with the tv to, for dlna turn on file sharing in setting on your now then on your television go to your input menu and your note should be listed then find the file you want to play. Hope this makes sense see pictures
