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
.

Ok I forgot to mention that I own a galaxy s3 and everything works fine with it. I can stream video , movie 1080p , mp3 , photo , etc.
But with my note 10.1 no video or movie (I can stream mp3 and photo)
I try reconnecting, restating, etc and not work with video.

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

[Q] Watch Streaming Video on Laptop from Thunderbolt?

Does anyone know of a way to watch streaming video on your laptop from your Thunderbolt? So lets say I am streaming video from JetFlicks, is there a way to watch the samething on my laptop monitor? Basically a monitor out.
Use the connected media app. I guess that would only work if you had it downloaded it to your phone...

He is talking about getting the video to play, not how to share the internet connection.
I know you can do it the other way around, from a pc to the TB, but i'm not sure if there is a way to do what you are trying to do.
Can't vlc/vnc do this

What can a TB stream, that a PC can't? i.e. why stream it on the TB and display it on a PC, when you can just stream it directly on the PC?

I'm with you on that, don't understand, but its something the OP is asking about.
Yes, the TB has DLNA support for streaming from the phone to your computer or TV provided you have the phone and PCs connected to the same WiFi network.
In the media gallery click the video you want to stream, then press menu, select player, and your pc should show up if you have Windows media player open and the settings set for streaming.
You can also use an app to stream like Twonkey, but be prepared to download a PC server version to your pc as well.
The question is about displaying video being streamed to the TB on a PC. I don't think it can be done. A DLNA server on the TB (like twonkey) will stream media files to a PC (no special client needed on Win7, just use WMP), but I don't think you can pass through a stream to a stream.
oh, I see what he meant now. Technically you can stream a stream, depending on the app. For "tv streams" and "movie streams" if you stream from a server (not Megavideo) that allows you to use an outside video player you can. These are the only two apps I personally know of that allow it though.

to stream tv well i was wrongish on tversity orb might work better but tversity can stream any video file on your comp with proper setup of course .
so if you have a tv capture card and windows 7 this = DVR capability ie stream shows that are recorded not so much stream on the go.

streaming from phone to TV?

So I'm about to get a new TV. And the Logitech box to convert the new TV to a Google TV. I have some movies I downloaded on my phone. there AVI format. I watch some on my phone. And it plays it probably because I downloaded a player app from the market that supports the file. Anyway. I wanna kno, can I stream those files to my TV to watch them. Somehow?

DLNA (AllShare)
Or if you're on a Froyo release or an AT&T Gingerbread leak, the MHL adapter included with the Infuse.
Skifta has been an awesome and free DLNA client in the time I've used it. Highly recommend it.
samsung needs to do a better job advertising the things unique to their phones. samsung phones play almost any codec you can think of and has a dlna. for a while when the captivate came out that was an actual advantage. now there are market apps that are better but try all share. if it doesnt work then download one from the market.
File Expert from the market has built in wifi streaming to your local network that you can use to streaming stuff to another wifi enabled device.

So when I use the Logitech box with this new TV. File expert can stream the avi formatted files over to my TV. With of course the help of box. How exactly does the box convert the TV into Google?

Allshare Play not streaming video

For some reason I cannot stream video content through Allshare Play. It will stream music and photos from my PC, but no video. It gives me this message, "sorry, the Video cannot be played."
Did I miss some key information about how Allshare Play works?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Either it can't decode the video or if its digital copyleft, it won't stream.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
So it has to copyright protected in order to stream?
Sent from my Galaxy SIII
What format are the videos? File extension, etc. Do they have DRM on any of them? If so, that could be a problem.
Did you install the codec pack that ASP asks you to install during installation?
I've been using it since day one and have only run into a few files it won't play. Mainly flash files. I do believe I've gotten a similiar message on some files if I accessed them via the video menu, but they played fine via the files menu.
Avi. What's DRM? I will give the file menu a try. Thanks for the advice.
Edit: I did download the codec program, don't really know how to use it.
I tried the file path. It just downloaded the video, and that has always worked. I just preferred to stream. At least I know now that the inability to stream avi files is not exclusive to my phone.
Sent from my Galaxy SIII
DRM = Digital Rights Management. Basically, you get a license installed to play the file. If they have DRM, they won't play to my knowledge. If you downloaded the AVI from a torrent or something, it shouldn't be the case. If you downloaded it from a store, it may be there.
The codecs work automatically and supposedly transcode anything that your phone can't play natively on your computer before streaming to you.
Keep in mind, depending on your home net connection and how good your 4G / 3G reception is at the time, streaming could take a while to buffer and if there is any transcoding needed, it will slow it down as well.
I have FIOS on my home network and my 4G is fine. I sometimes get a delay of up to a minute before the video will start playing due to the size of the file, etc.
I have Fios as well. Just to make sure I understand movies without DRM should play? Because most of the movies on my cpu are from torrent. Most often I try to stream over Wi-Fi, so should I try to stream over 4G?

I generally leave the mobile optimization on,but I'm wondering if the popup play features works for you guys with or without mobile optimization on/off.
I've noticed videos in general play better using Mobo rather than the stock app when streaming from Allshare Play.
allshare videos stream but they keep buffering then ends up closing itself, its starting to really annoy me, Is anyone else havign this problem

[Q] MP3 Player and DLNA?

Sup
Anyone Managed to get the preinstalled MP3 Player to work with a DLNA Server?
I've tried with Windows mediaplayer, Serviio and PS3 Mediaserver.
But i only get connection failed Or No Songs
But it does work with the MediaHouse app!
Any Idea? I'd like to use the floating Player and the notifications.

I'm using Plex to stream videos (movies/tv shows) to my Galaxy S3, Note 10.1 and Note 2.
Only downside is it doesnt supporr subtitles.
It's not great but it does the job.
I havent tried Plex with any music.. I might give it a try some time and let you know.
You might want to try to change your sharing settings for Public sharing on your Win7 since the device is not part of your Windows "private" network.

Can speak for the op, but my contents shared correctly. I have no issues with accessing my content with multiple media streamers and two HTC phones with serviio or plex... It's just the note that can't access it.

Any idea where? Windows7 sharing options are a pain in the ass!
So, PS3 Media Server and MedaHouse app work fine for Music and Video Streaming. But Reconverting doesn't work... Trying 840x480 Videos works fine. but 1920x1080 isn't streaming well. Seeing 1 picture for 3 seconds, some sound noises and then maybe a next picture.
Some1 tried a fullHD video on the Tablets Memory ? Does that work ?

- Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings
- Under Public - Media streaming you will find "Choose media streaming options", click on that.
- From there you will see "Show devices on:" choose All networks.
- If your device isnt listed there by name, then it must be marked as an "Unknown Device" and is Blocked on the right, Allow them one by one and see if it shows up on your device.
But i have some bad news, when I tested that myself and doing this makes it show just fine using my Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 to play Music or Videos on my machine, but not Galaxy Note 10.1 for some reason!

Tzzzzzz Seems like Samsung ****ed up! Lets hope they bring JB Update soon!
it works!
No Idea why! But i startet up Media Player on my Laptop today and then used media house for remote control! don't ask me why but I also startet up normal media player and pressed "find near" it found the laptop and worked!!!
gotta test if it works on my normal pc too...
Edit: NO it doesn't ! But only the Music library seems broken! Pictures and Videos do work!
Installed Twonky 7 now... that seems to work!
Oh well. i've tested a few DLNA/UPnP Apps on my tablet.
Twonky Beam (outdated) and BubbleUPnP Are my favorite atm. Mainly because they support DMR so you can play stuff from any other DNLA device ON the Tablet! Twonky beam is better because you can play music from Tablet to computer and also at the same tame from phone to the tablet!
If you try that with BubbleUPnP it stops the laptop playing from the Tablet!
But on the other hand If you use Twonky Beam to stream Youtube Videos to the Laptop you can't minimize it! BubbleUPnP works fine minized
BubbleUPnP also has a Player control on the Lockscreen and in the notificaton Menue. And it's easier to use chose server/Device and Library.

I really don't understand whats the problem...my galaxy 10.1 finds and plays all my music that is shared over the network (either from desktop pc, laptops or other devices connected to wifi. Stock music player works flawlesly and finds all music if i choose nearby devices. Another option is allshare that finds and plays media from computers, wd tv live hub and other phones/tablets. So either I don't understand what the problem is, or you are doing something wrong. I can even get music to note from my network server over wifi and then stream it to my dlna sony hifi. It works flawlessly. My only complaint is that apparently dlna doesn't support mp3 tags so you can't filter music by artists, albums, ...
qloud player
I currently using mediatomb for mp3. Note 2 stock player can connect to it. As for movie Qloud also a good choice. easy and play fast. also can play using 3G.
It was a Problem with Windows 7 Media server!
Btw, Using Synology DSaudio ... You need a Synology NAS as Source but you can stream it to any DLNA player. Has a nice interface.

I've been having issues with Showbox too lately, it used to work flawlessly all the time, I would stream either from my phone or Nexus 7 to Chromecast. However most films now just don't load, I've got a Sony Smart TV now and I use BubbleUPNP with Showbox and it will play some films but most just do nothing.
I've tried the above and installed Growbox and AllCast and those do not work either ?
can't you just screen mirror???
