Very simple but difficult question...
Does anyone know of a music app in the play store that allows you to stream music via DLNA to a Samsung smart TV?
This has been ridiculously hard to find...
Funny how I can stream no problem to a $200 Bluetooth speaker by Bose but not to a $3500 dollar TV by Samsung.
Any advice?
Thank you!

I just sold my Vibrant and bought a Nexus S and was wondering if there was another app like Allshare that I could use to stream movies from my PC to my phone.
I really like Allshare cause whenever my wife insisted on watching f'ing Jersey Shore I could allways bust out my phone and choose a movie from my library without have to get off the couch to upload it to my phone.

I'm not sure if we have the DLNA capabilities...I'll look around and see.

Swifta would work great if it would play different types of video files.

So we do have DLNA? I searched around and I couldn't find a definite answer.
Damn I was going to buy the nexus s but I use allshare all the time. Especially when family comes over. I stream the photos and hd home videos to my tv.
Do you think if I took the vibrant version and used it on the nexus it would work?
Dlna needed of course.

Twonky works for me, I stream to my ps3 and the nexus s does have dlna.

iMediaShare brings DLNA capabilities on any Android phone including Nexus S. In addition it also enable playback of online videos as well as sharing personal photos from Facebook and Picasa.
Hmmm.
I tried searching for imediashare (and scanning the QR codes that are on their website) but it's not showing up in my Market....must be a protected app or something.
Oh well.
Damn it. Maybe I could get the imedia apk found some where.

I read on another thread that the Allshare app on the Vibrant is tied into its framework and would have to be modified to work.

Try again. It should be there now
Last post is December, so did you guys find a way or did everyone settle with Twonky, Skifta and iMediaShare?
You can stream video with Gmote.
Although the dlna works fine I really wanted the AllShare app to control the TV, anyone know how to get it on the Nexus S or at least why can't we?!
Is there an OS version issue, cause I have downloaded like 3 AllShare apk but none works.
I`m currently using the 2.3.4 version.
Thanks in advance,

I wonder how do you use smartshare and DLNA on your phone? Any guide? If I had compatible DLNA compatible device such as TV etc, can I stream our O3D display to that TV(For game, movies etc)? Or is it only play a share files(image, video, musics etc) on that TV?
Thanks.

Thinking of buying smart TV with DLNA. If that the case, then I'll pass. Better buy android TV box or a cheap chinese android Tablet with HDMI is enough to make my current TV a smart TV.
I don't know, i have a lg smart tv and it works fine.
I have my series tv on my phone and i send them to my 60 inch tv with DLNA

I see that smart tv is only a tv with wifi. Not smart enough imo. I though it could replace hdmi for display stream of our phone. Especially a phone with no tv out.

What you talking about. The phone can send 3d videos to smart TVs via dnla, can be connected to TV via HDMI and control your phone from there
It works on Lg TVs Samsung etc.

Hey so I've been messing with two apps, hifi speaker and remote for itunes, to airplay stream music to my phone at home. I was also going to buy a new blue tooth speaker and was wondering if after getting the music streamed to the phone, turning on blue tooth will this then redirect the music to the speaker?
Also, is there an app to give my phone actual airplay capabilities, not just making my phone a receiver for airplay but letting me push music/video out over airplay?
Thanks.

Wait so what music source exactly do you use with this? You said that no rom redirects audio to Bluetooth, yet I find it hard to believe if I connect my phone to a speaker via Bluetooth and play music out of, say Power amp, that THAT wouldn't work.

Using power amp only directs to certain BT frequency and when using the stock players it has always stopped when I try to swap to BT of course this is my experience u may have a more compatible BT device but this is just me u can try urself but this is what have found doesn't and hasn't worked
PS when I mean redirect I mean redirect the audio sound from the music player to the by device.

Wow... Then what exactly is the point in buying a speaker? I mean they advertise them to be compatible with like I phones, android, and all Bluetooth compatible devices don't they?

yes but could i watch free tv and movies with it?
Looking to get one or the other but unsure if i want to pay the $40 difference. What I would be using it for would be too stream movies from Google play, vudu, netflix ,hulu and movies I have obtained that are stored on my nexus 6 Watch youtube and stream apps. I would want to connect it directly to my surround sound system HDMI port. So it the nexus played worth the extra $40.
