Did you try using AllShare over wifi? I don't see how the 360 would simply be able to interface with an Android phone over USB.

No I haven't and I figured it'd work because u can play movies from other similar devices through USB, it basically would do like a computer and show you the files stored on the device for playback but I can't get mine to work

Did you try mounting the USB from the phone's notification menu while it was plugged in? Keep in mind that the phone usually mounts 2 drives at once (internal and external SD), so I'm not sure what the 360 would have in that realm of USB support.

Actually yes I did try that and im guessing since it does mount both at the same time, the 369 cnt catch them both since they're both from one device

I'm not sure it will mount the sd card to a 360. I know people have issues with usb equiped radios doing this.
also all share won't work. last I checked the 360 doesn't include dlna. though it could easily be added in an update ms doesn't seems interested in this as it is already upnp and a media center extender. I think they want to give any reason to have the newest updates of media player because they need wga to install and makes people want a copy of windows that's not pirated and pushes widows 7 with media center.
you would need a upnp market app or a media server with dlna. then you may be able to find media from the phone on the server and route it to the 360 with either upnp or as a media center extender.

I covered that in my post. he is connected to a media center pc. you need a pc wIth win 7 or vista or xp media center if anyone still has that running to do this. on its own it doesn't support dlna. this also means you may need a copy of windows that passes windows genuine advantage. not 100% on that but i tried the whole media center extender back in the day with xp pro and added the proper files and registry keys to make it into media center (but better) also added the tablet pc files and wanted to add wii mote support but didn't have a wiimote. I had trouble getting it to work because I coulnt update media player or something. I haven't tried since windows 7 came out because I have a dlna tv.

its streams through your wifi network. you know how you stream movies from your pc to your 360 or ps3? yea same thing just with your phone. the free version kinda skips and doesnt work very well but i got the paid version and dont regret it at all. it's on the market try out the free version see if its what your looking for
here is my 2 cents.
the xbox can only see the main usb drive. aka. if you have a usb drive, and it has multiple partitions, it will only see the primary first partition.
this is an issue even with some portable hard drives that have a flash partition built in for their driver software, thats the only partition the xbox sees.
it also only sees fat32, and your phone is ext4 probably. or the other formats.
there could be 5 reasons it wont see it.

The internal storage is always FAT32. You're thinking of the system and app/data partitions.

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?

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.

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 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....

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.
Okay so my main reasoning to purchasing this tablet was primarily based on the fact you can view pdf's for school like books and such...
Which brings me to the question of?...
Wireless Flash Drive?
Now i want to be able to wireless sync the tablet as a flash drive and transfer files for school instead of carrying around a flash drive is this possible by any means??... (Needs to be MAC compatible or no to little software towards the computer because i do not have Administrator Access on the computer side..)
Wireless streaming Solutions?
okay so i figured out a way to browse the files on my computer using my tablet using an application called File Manager but how do i stream video and music from my tablet the opposite way? (use my computers monitor and speakers wirelessly from the tablet?)

BubbleUPnP will probably do the trick, assuming you have a client on the computer that supports DLNA/UPnP streaming.

Use "VLC Direct" you can stream music and video both ways... tablet to computer, or computer to tablet. Its not on the market right now, it got kicked off when google messed up there market and everyone accounts. go to vlcdirect.com, you should be able to download it from there and read about how to use it. Its a great app I use it daily
You do need the pro version to use all of the features

I couldn't get bubble upnp or skifta to work properly remotely. Try subsonic, it is java based and set up through a browser, so I think it should be Mac compatible. Works great to stream music and video to Android devices over 3g. As far as the files, maybe look into setting up a ftp server or just use dropbox

Any ideas on software for the macbook, PC and Android tablet that can accomplish all of this?

There might be more users know. This type of question, will be answer faster by apple user/dev, since u want to use ur mac as the server.

One other thing you could do, if you can find the builds, is just download and install Apache http server for web access, U-Share for UPnP access, and Samba for Windows file sharing access. For any other servers you need, just install programs for them as needed. There's all kinds of different single-purpose server programs. That way you could keep OSX installed and usable. I did the same thing on a Windows XP machine a while back. However, I eventually ended up running so many different server apps that it just made more sense to turn it into a dedicated server and I installed Fedora linux. That machine's still up and running today. It's just a suggestion.

You can use basic SSH and a app that can stream from ssh to a video player, ex FX Explorer + MX Player. With this potent tablet, you don't need any transcoding, it has the best HW decoder available.
If you need it to be accessible only from internal network, then you should use SAMBA server (basic windows share).
As an OS, i am recomanding Ubuntu you can do bouth type of sharing with ease !
I want to be able to listen to my entire itunes through streaming onto my Nexus 5 and I know there's apps which do this like Doubletwist. But the problem is my desktop does not run through wifi, its a wired connection. So I was wondering if theres an app which doesn't need the same wifi on your Android device as your desktop.
Thanks
Have you tried the apps? Usually if the computer is connected to the same network by Ethernet it'll work for apps that use it, I know things like WiFi mouse etc do. Or ditch iTunes and upload your music to Google play, it'll take a while but you'll save hours by not having to use the worst piece of software in existence.

If your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can control and listen to iTunes, even though the desktop is not on the wireless. My home system is like that (the primary desktop mac is a wired ethernet into my LAN and has its wifi card turned off).
In order for your N5 (any wifi client) to work this way requires your wireless (wifi) router to be in access point mode (which is NOT the default), not in normal router mode. How easy this is to do depends entirely on your particular wifi router, and your skill at configuring it.
(When your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can use AirBubble on your N5 to receive the audio from iTunes on your desktop machine, and you can use Remote for iTunes to control the running iTunes on your desktop. Works very well).

You could try subsonic. it wont interfere with itunes ( ugh ) and it will convert your flac and ogg and movie files on the fly too. Then get dSub for your android and you will never use itunes again. Subsonic is a free open source media server you install on your pc that streams to your phone or any device, no clunky uploading to the cloud. Dsub is a pay for app but I have paid for it twice its that good and dev works hard on it, constantly updating it.

Go into your router settings > Go to port forwarding > Give it a name Music Streaming > Enter the port and forward it to the internal IP.
