I would like to send photos and video to my Samsung TV.
I can do it with my Evo3D but I assume that's baked into the Sense UI. I can't see any obvious way on Xoom... any ideas or apps?
Is it sending content via DNLA or uPnP? Not sure if I should be looking for a DNLA client or something - but I suspect DNLA is kinda for media servers not just pushing content
Thanks

Bubbleupnp is best app
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
couldnt get on with bubbleupnp - dont think it liked my tv
this is working well though https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skifta.android.app and can browse the phone/tablet from the tv too!
I like Skifta and Plugplayer for sharing local content and acting as a control point, but for 'ShareTo' functionality from within apps, I believe Twonky is the best app.
Any other suggestions?

As far as I understand, it is used to stream content from your phone, over WiFi I think, videos, music, pictures etc.

Alot of products has DLNA.
My Samsung tv has it. =)
check out dlna.org for more information
Installation fails because touchwiz library is missing. Either this lib must be ported also or must be removed from the app. Both are quite tricky I believe.

Thanks, I don't think my TV supports this, but my HTPC running XBMC might.
XBMC built-in UPnP-server and UPnP-client are (since the 25th of September 2007) compatible with DLNA CERTIFIED™ devices

Why would you need that? Download iMediaShare for free from the market and you have the same.

iMediaShare is not free if you expect to see anything but a photo...
Some great thread necromancy going on here!
Regards,
Dave
well, i have a need.. dlna explained more too
@dave agreed.
well, i'm looking to start doing this since i do have a need for an app like this and few others. if you have win7 and media center, you have DLNA support on your pc.
plus, ps3 media server can be used too. anywho, DLNA is a streaming protocol that most vendors/manufacturers introduced to allow one to stream video to various type of products (tvs, boxes, pcs, handhelds, etc).
this app lets you either Receive a stream from a DLNA server or Setup your phone as a DLNA server and then watch your videos/pics on your PS3 or Home PC's media player app.
ok, explaining done, does anyone know what the first steps of removing the touchwiz library would be or where i'd start?

You are right. Hadn't noticed that.
BTW, for those discussing the other side, PS3 and others, ALL Windows 7 computers are DLNA enabled. So if you have a Win7 Media Center connected to your TV, you can hear music, see photos and videos on your TV via Allshare.
Well, I add my vote for an HTC version of this thing.
Any Sense 2.0 and above Rom already has DLNA capability.
Just hit Menu -> Select player while watching a movie/photo/whatever.
Did u try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skifta.android.app&feature=search_result
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?
If such an app already exists, I would appreciate the help tracking it down, but does anyone know if there is a way to use the EVO as a DLNA reciever?
I have a xoom, and it would be kind of cool if i could 'beam' media from it to my EVO connected to my TV. Also, it would make my EVO useful after i upgrade and get a new phone down the line. Maybe it is more complicated than something an app can provide?
Anyway, if anyone knows of a way i could accomplish such a feat, you would become my new hero! <3 !!!!!1!!!1!!!!
Sounds like you'd need an infrared transmitter /receiver...

i could be wrong here, but i think it's a hardware thing.
There are apps to do this on the market place. But the only thing I don't like is that they don't transcode.

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.

cheers! it'd be a big disappointment if .avi and .mkv dont work
EDIT: youtube.com/watch?v=Zr8iBI_duJs this is the review i was referring to; skip to 3.30. again i dont know if he's got it set up properly but I saw this and began to worry!
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

As long as your PC is transcoding, that is.
I've noticed on any Android phone I used, the ability to stream media over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to any supporting device.
Now, it would be awesome to have a TV device to which I can stream photos, videos and YouTube from my phone through Wi-Fi. Live screenshare would be nice too. Any idea what products are out there? Google searches do not seem to give me what I'm looking for.

I have a Samsung phone and TV and I stream photos, movies etc from my phone to the TV via wifi. I use Allshare to do this.
hmm interesting however my Sony Bravia doesn't offer such a feature.
I continued searching and found this, http://www.lg.com/us/tv-accessories/lg-ST600-smart-tv-upgrader
Anyone has experience on it? Or anyone is using anything similar? I'm still scouting for a good yet not so expensive product. If I'm not mistaken I can use this box with my Android.

I have been using the Shareon video.
You can stream all your media from smartphone to DLNA supported TV directly.
Actually, I think it's better than Samsung Allshare Service, bcoz shareon video supports most of manufacturer.:good:
