[REQUETE] [APP] DLNA and Nexus one

Hi all,
I tried to install DlnaService.apk from Acer Liquid. All went fine but the moment I tried to share content with my Plasma Samsung 8, even if it recognized my Nexus, it wasn't able to share content.
Anyone had a similar experience?

Wow I didn't even know you can do that with the Nexus, I'm also very interested now.

twonky server works with my samsung only tried pics and music so far, I expect it will be fussy with vids though due to codec support in my tv.
might also work with ps3 dlna too, probably better codec support on that
just fire up the app and press the source/input on your tv remote and it shows up in the menu.
instant android media server
obviously you need both devices on the same network
very cool - no config

Works with the PS3! Wow this is awesome, I'm streaming my mp3s from my Nexus One as I type this =]
Edit: Also works with pictures on the PS3, I don't have any vids on my Nexus or I'd try that also.

Which one? The Acer one or twonky server?

The Acer one you posted above "DlnaService.apk" it plays a bit choppy on the music, but I think that's only because I have them both on wireless.

@irajames1176
Ok...I have to try. With Samsung TV I have probs...

I tried out Twonky Mobile going to a WD TV Live and audio, video and music all worked just fine. Pretty nice little app, actually. Quick and easy way to show some pics you've snapped on your phone.

I know this is an old thread... but now that the Droid X is coming out and has a new DLNA app, has anyone heard of anyone locating it?

Hi,
I'm wondering if the opposite is OK. I mean I want to use my Nexus One to access my DLNA server (Buffalo LinkStation NAS) to pull contents from there and play on N1. Is there any workable solution? Thank you.

That would be good.

I'm looking for something like this too. I have a ****load of stuff on my nas with a dlna server on it, I'd like to be able to connect to it from my phone to listen to my vast music collection.

I am also interested in some kind of a dlna player app, which plays music and videos out of my buffalo NAS (now it is trying to download instead of streaming).

search the market for vlc stream works great with vlc and now i can stream my movies in any format to my nexus one works great, so for ive stream movies in avi,dvix,mkv they all work great have not tryed music yet.

Andromote has a local player built in. It sees my Xtreamer Mk1 set top box but I can't play anything from it.
Also, this DNLA client above isn't seen by my Xtreamer. I blame the crappy UPNP implementation of the Xtreamer. Seems to work right on the Nexus one with my PC though.
Back to running a Samba server on the Nexus for accessing my things from the Xtreamer. Atleast that works great!

I've tested it on my nexus one and my ps3. Mp3 and Pictures were good but videos not . I couldn't manage to run videos larger than 5 mb .
Some large Mp3s were also crappy .

Can anybody provide Galaxy S DLNA apk ???

I have this app running but it works only as long as the screen is on. When the phone goes to sleep the app cuts out as well though I have my WIFI settings to be Always ON. Is there a way to have the app running though the phone goes to sleep?

Thats the sickest problem with nexus one. I hate it...

Allshare + Windows Home Server + MKV files

I have Rock Player installed, and I can see my Windows Home Server on the phone. I have lots of video on there, some in AVI and some in MKV. AllShare doesn't recognize the MKV files, only AVI files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there is anything you can do. AllShare won't play WTV or DVR-MS either and these are Native recordings on Windows Media Center.
Until Samsung publishes some specs we won't know what is supported.
The only solution i have see is to find a DLNA server software package that can transcode on the fly. There are 30 or so different ones, and some are free but i have not ventured down this path yet.

Try the vlc streamer app from the market, plus vlc player on your pc. Works beautifuly once you have everything configured right.
This transcodes on the fly, so you can play pretty much anything.

Thanks alphadog. I'll look into DLNA software for my server.

That does sound promising, but I don't always have my laptop turned on in order to play the media. That is the appeal to AllShare was. I could stream music or a movie with out having to use my laptop.

Will VLC Stream and Convert work for you? It's able to connect to VLC running on a PC and tell it to stream and trasncode on the fly to the Captivate.

I guess if I install it on the server itself, it should work. Not sure why I didn't think about that when jsmith recommended it.

I think I know why it isn't working. I using my home server mostly as a file share and a way to do automatic backups of my laptops. So there are no codecs or software installed on the server to play the files. I bet if I install vlc and the cccp codec pack it will work. And if not, I can try the vlc streaming app.

I wish you luck, but I don't think installing codecs on the server will affect what the phone plays. My machine plays every file under the sun, but the phone will only play certain file types - that is why something needs to transcode on the server to a format the phone will understand.
VLC or some DLNA server that will do this on the server side is a good way to go.
But I don't want to discourage you - let us know how your tests go.

Sorry for my message earlier echoing the poster above me. didn't see it show up as I was preparing mine. Vlc doesn't require additional codecs to be installed. So it should work as long as you are able to install onto your server.

Yeah, just install vlc on your server, and as long as you have everything configured properly you should be fine.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully this weekend I will get a minute to look into this more and try it out. I will be sure to let you all know how it works out for me.

[Q] DLNA Player?

Is there currently a DLNA / UPNP PLAYER (going from a server to the phone.... not the other way around) for Android?
I believe the Galaxy S phones were supposed to have one? If so, did anyone extract them?

I also would like to know if something like this is available. I can play back mp3 and jpg on my Desire HD, but not video files.

My GT-I9000 Galaxy has a program called AllShare. I just use Media player 12 on my WiN7 machine and it allows me to stream to AllShare. I can play divx movies, tv series, and other videos just fine off my home wifi network.

Gmote for audio works great.

I was looking for more for the video option. I have a ton of divx / xvid on my server.
When I use astro with the smb addon..... I can search the server but then I get an error when Rockplayer tries to play it.
estrongs isn't able to let me login for some reason.
But since my NAS has dlna and upnp I'm just looking for a simple player or app that can search dlna.

I've been looking for an app of this nature for over a year. Still no luck. I would guess that the developers that would be closest to being able to get this going would be one of the video player developers such as Rockplayer or Vplayer alpha. They've already got multi format playback for videos. Now if only they could playback these formats as a stream from dlna/upnp.........

Bumping. With the release of android based tablets dnla / upnp video players are going to be a huge win.
Anyone with a good answer?

Skifta?

I agree, AllShare works great with my Samsung TV and my laptop being the server with all the video files. My laptop has ubuntu with MiniDLNA as the server. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732005 has a link to dlna.apk (which is allshare) weird thing is all the permissions it asks for when installing :/ even wants access to SMS which i thought was weird

for video try http://www.appbrain.com/app/vlc-stream-convert/com.gmail.traveldevel.android.vlc.app with vlc on your pc
if you want only music http://www.appbrain.com/app/twonky-mobile-free/com.pv.twonkyremote works nicely with windows media player library shararing on local network

i've been searching for a good solution for a long time now. I have an ampache server setup now but its cumbersome, none of the ampache apps on android are that great.
Does twonky work over the internet?

no it doesn't but you can smoho get vlc stream and convert working over the internet

The best I have been able to come up with is using UPnP with an app called UPnPlay - in conjunction with VPlayer (which for me is working smoother than Rockplayer).
It's not dlna but it's something.

I have played with lots of different dlna players but by FAR.... the best app is called
iMediaShare - it works perfectly with windows 7/XP (windows media player). You can play music and videos that are on your pc on either your PC (using your phone as a remote control) or play them on your phone streaming them from your PC.
Also there are TV channels like Nasa or Youtube you can use your phone as a high tech tv remote.
Amazing!
P.S My frav before this was Twonk
P.P.S My frav phone browser/streamer is 'Browsix' (again AMAZING!)
P.P.P.S my title is not right sorry, it should say IMediaShare

Streaming media from Windows Media Center 7

I didn't see it posted anywhere here, but if you install the Twonky DLNA client, you can stream every piece of media that is on a Windows 7 Media Center PC. I just installed it, and watched several movies, listened to music, and could see all my photos. Didn't do anything at all to the Win 7 box. It just worked...

Cool thanks for sharing. So many projects I could be doing... where do I start? Ha!

It called "Twonky Mobile". It's in the Market.

Ok, then I have downloaded the right one. Are you running anything on win7 media center at all? My tablet can't find my window 7 share.

Twonky didn't look for Windows Shares -- it connected via DLNA. I don't have my content shared via SMB shares on my HTPC. Twonky saw the HTPC, connected to it, and lets me browse via DLNA...
I'm running vegan on my gtab. Don't know if that matters or not...

Twonky
Dudeinmyrtlebeach...do you have an xbox or other device setup to stream to? The mediacenter PC might not run the server if no extenders are setup.

Make sure u have wmp with the option to stream over the network. Only then u will see your pc in twonky

Thanks. I will try that.

XBOX... I'll bet that's what it is.. I have 2 of 'em set up as extenders. I also have a couple of other tablets (Motion LE's) running Windows 7 that connect to the media center pc.
Maybe that's what it is...

... and I just tried Twonky on my Droid X, and it didn't see my HTPC... I have no idea what gives. Rebooting the X...

Have u checked the allow streaming option on windows media player? I had to let it finish the library scanning before i could see my htpc on gtablet

It works fine on my gtab. Doesn't work at all on the X... No idea...

If you don't like Twonky, there are other options as well.
Upnplay is really good and free as well.
2player is a dlna/upnp client but more focused on music. I like that it can play Windows Media Playlists.
Eyecontrol and Andromote are dlna players that also allow you to control where your media is playing to - so for example you can use it to tell your PC to play something on your TV, or your phone to play something to your radio - etc. etc. etc.
Great DLNA or Streaming software examples are TVersity, which you can put on your PC - share everything you want to share to and it will automatically convert the file if necessary to whatever you're using to stream from it.
PlayOn is like Tversity but the free part allows you to stream only from your local media collection. If you pay for a license, it allows you to watch Hulu/Netflix etc. on your DLNA client. I don't know if this works.
Orb is like a mashup of Tversity and Upnplay in that it streams almost anything to your device - the main difference is that you can achieve the functionality of doing it through the internet at default, whereas the other products are geared primarily as in-network solutions.
Twonky is finicky at best. I have it on my Mytouch 4G and sometimes it works great while at others it stops randomly. This is what lead me to looking for alternatives.
Good Luck.

Twonky
Thanks for the tip, Dude... it is working now, I can see my pics/music and videos... now my desktop is useful again (as a media server for my GTab!)

Orb Fc for me. Vegan 5.1

I have done that on Windows Media Player which has all of my libraray in it, but still can't see the list using TWonky or other DLNA player. I have enabled WMP to stream, and still don't see any libraries.

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
