I am looking through the mynet app and there is a dlna section but it doesn't see my xbox 360, it only sees my WD player. How can I connect my TF101 to the xbox 360. I want to stream videos over the air. I know dlna is very limited for formats, but so is my xbox, so it's no big deal - unless someone can recommend and app that will let me hook up my TF101 to my xbox and allow me to play more formats
Thanks guys
Try UPnPlay

In combination with MX Player

Application
There is ArkMC application which supports almost any file format. If Xbox support some file - ArkMC supports this file for sure!
Unfortunately neither Mynet, upnplay, or arkmc can see my xbox 360.... I configured my xbox to play videos from incoming devices btw....maybe I have to open a port?
Hmmm it seems upnplay finds my xbox but I can't play videos because the xbox is limited to mpg and wmv...... Too bad, I was really hoping for an epic dlna device
Bubbleupnp works great for music, never tried videos though

I am running Serviio on Ubuntu 11.04, and the Transformer is seeing it in MyNet. I can browse pictures and listen to music. But I can't play any AVIs. Does anybody have a profile for Serviio that works with the device? If so, please post the XML section.
BTW, my XBox 360 sees Serviio and plays the pictures, music and AVIs perfectly.
I believe it's because of the native video app. Many people suggest using a combination of UPnPlay + Moboplayer or using Plex. I'm currently using the former and it works well for me. I'm using a ReadyNAS to host all my media.
This is the one thing I do enjoy about my Captivate is the native DLNA app and its ability to play a variety of videos.
Yup. Upnp + Moboplayer plays my AVIs. Thanks!

No problem. I'm glad it worked for you too.
DLNA is cool. I can even watch movies on my phone. But I don’t have a DLNA-certified TV. My TV is a normal one. Can I still watch movies from the computer on my TV?
To access DLNA streaming, if your TV is not certified dlna one, then use a media player hardware as a bridge. Of course, this media player must be dlna certified one like the popular ones: WD TV, Popcorn Hour, TVIX, Dune Player, PS3...
Use the cable to connect your hardware media player to your non-DLNA certified TV set. Thus your TV set is only used as a HD monitor.
Also the supported codecs of these players is very important point. MKV file can not be streamed by DLNA directly. Try a video converter app to transcode mkv to compatible one. Seaching on Google, you will find one. I find one via searching dlna mkv video converter.
Good luck. ^-^
And don't forget you lose subtitles since there is no standart for in in DLNA specs.
So i was a big fan of Air Video on the ipad, thought I would look for something similar for android.
Came across an app called Emit. Works awesome. Flawless transcoding from your PC to the Fire. Highly recommended if you want to watch your movie collection on the fire with out having to run it all through handbrake for the right codec.
Quick setup and it just works.
gonna give it a try thank u
http://www.skifta.com/ offers something similar, for free.
I hate using transcoding, it jacks up the temps of my MacMini server 20 to 50 degrees! So I started converting all my videos to mp4s using ffmpeg and some Ruby scripts I wrote. Works a lot better and I can fast forward and backwards without any lag.

I've been using UPnPlay to connect to PS3 Media Server on my Mac (it's cross platform) and then MX Player to view the videos. Works perfect. No transcoding icky stuff on the mac side. It's been playing MP4, AVI, MKV stuff just fine. Although some containers\codecs with 720p video don't play smoothly on the fire.
I have a bunch of videos that I have converted to mp4 with Handbrake for playing on my Roku via Roksbox. This requires an Apache server so I can play the same videos though my wifi network on my Fire and Thunderbolt as well as 4G on my Tbolt. Not to mention any computer through Chrome. Everytime I buy a DVD I just rip it any put it away, rarely ever use the dvd player.

I second emit, it uses very little of my Pc resources while giving me very crisp video... match it with my wifi ap on my phone, instant hidef movies anywhere I go, on any android device

Hi all, so here is my situation:
I have a new Xyboard 8.2, and with the MX Video Player I can play 720p MKVs perfectly fine, as long as they are stored on the tablet itself. However, if I want to play the 720p MKV by streaming it off of my computer, therein lies a few problems. I am using TVMobili as the dLNA server on my computer, and I've not had any problems with it for other dLNA devices, such as a WDTV Live. However no matter which dLNA browser I try to browse/use to play, I can see my files, but when I try to play I either get a cannot play message or audio but no video. Does any one have any suggestions such that I can stream via dLNA (or some other means) and play these 720p MKVs with audio and video?
Plex media server with the plex app for android works like a charm on my Xoom.

Thanks for the tip, will check it out. I actually ended up ditching the dLNA route and going with the MotoCAST server/app that motorola was touting for this device, and it works quite well actually. I am not sure (actually, I think it does) if it employs dLNA technologies, but it is quite seamless. May try the PLEX route to see if the video/audio quality is any better.
For plex there is actually an option to change the streaming quality.

Plex works well, but bsplayer with native lan support baked into it works better locally.

For a tablet side fix rather than server, try using ES File Explorer to browse to the SMB fileshare on your PC rather than DLNA. You'll then be able to stream straight from the PC.
My Panasonic Plasma has DLNA in the Viera tools... is there any way to share my note screen onto the tv without an accessory for the Note?
Not possible at the moment. Hdmi adapter or allshare cast dongle still needed.

AllShare is Samsung's branding for everything related to media sharing. You can output media to any DLNA device from within the stock video and audio player. An icon with what looks like a TV in motion appears when a device is available. It's how I connect to my HTC dongle. You can mirror the Note with Samsung's dongle but it's not necessary just for DLNA media output.

I think you can, depening on what you want to share.
I have the latest Samsung ES8000 TV but I almost never use Allshare. Instead I use the iMediaShare app (paied version)on the Note and S3.
With iMediaShare I can show albums, videos, play music to the tv.
But what I use most is submitting movies from a DLNA-disk connected to my router. When, with iMediaShare on the Note, I choose a movie on the DLNA-disk I want to see. IMediaShare lists up DLNA-devices including Local Android(The Note) and I can choose where I want to view the movie. If I choose the TV the movie will play, without showing the picture on the screen on the Note. But I can control start/stop, wind/rewind and sound volume from the Note.
For some reason, unknown to me, playing movies on the TV plays more formats than using Allshare on the TV. Serveral times I have experienced that Allshare on the TV says it can't play the format. But with iMediaShare most of them works fine.
And the funny thing is that I can power off the Note after starting playing a movie. The movie still plays on the TV.
So for people with a DNLA-enabled tv and the Note I would highly recommend you to try out iMediaShare (unpaied) from Google Play,
PS. My TV has 5Ghz WIFI and I have no lag or buffering problems playing BR-movies form the DLNA.disk.
