I asked for this for Christmas to watch some Netflix and YouTube videos on my TV in my room instead of my phone. If anybody has Chromecast with this phone can you tell me if it works? If it does, how is it?
It should work since the Chromecast app is available for our phone (last time I checked).

when i go to watch netflix movies on my gtab the website lets me click on the movie but wont play it. it does it on certain websites too to watch videos. any suggestions?
Netflix is using the Microsoft Silverlight plugin to play the movies in a browser. This is not available for Android.
Playon is supposed to be released for Andriod ..... it plays netflix ....that seems to be the closest, soon to be viable option
Android app supposed to come this century. Hopefully that will help our streaming woes.

If they ever do it that would be nice. I have Playon loaded on my server and using an app called upnplay I can access Playon, but so far have not been able to play anything. It tries, and then quits.

Hey man just use ice films (WWW.icefilms.info) , similar to Netflix. If u have cookies enabled u can save the shows/movies you want to see by clicking on the yellow star next to the title. I wrote a how to guide for it. I can't post links yet but I just wrote it yesterday. The thread is called, How to get icefilms to work on the g tab.

ok is there a specific channel you are looking for or do you want to watch them all. If you trying to see them all then you may need a slingbox. As there is nothing giving you all the channels. Just some here and there.
i was watching Ghost lab and it's on Discovery Channel from TV Show Stream
on my s5 when i played a video i had the small icon on the top of the player when i hit it i could stream it to my tv or xbox ect.
i read that The video player has been simplified too and the DLNA view is gone. You can still send video files to DLNA players or use screen mirroring.
how do you send the video to dlna players now ?
the only way i can find to do this is to open quick connect then select the files i want to play then stream them, less then ideal and slow at going through the multiple steps.
bUMP ... in the night ....
anyone at all please ///
The S6 isn't officially supported for screen casting yet. Expect to see see that icon return to the stock player then. I have been trying to play with chromecast screen casting and it is crashing constantly. Hopefully they update the chromecast app soon. As for DLNA I haven't seen an option For it in the stock software, grab bubbleupnp from the play and you can stream again.

Hi guys. On my old Galaxy S5 in the video player i was able to see and play movies directly from an external HDD connected to the router (nearby devices tab). Now on my new Galaxy S6 Edge i can't do that anymore. Someone knows how can i see and play movies form the external HDD connected to an Asus router? Thanks!

No that doesnt work. I confirm no dlna on s6 after 5.1.1 upgrade.
Looks its a strategy of samsung because note 4 doesnt have dlna as well (and didnget it long after launch).
But no one seems to care about here? Im pretty decieved , but now sony are making great phones. I will trade mine for z4 or 5 if i find the oppurtunity
Bye samsung

Note 4 doesnt yet have it and was launched sept 2014. No it was dropped on purpse by samsung. Sadly i didnt know that before i bought s6 . No review mentionned it because it strangely dsnt look important for most users i assume.
Download a 3rd party app like Skifta! It worked on an older phone. It's the best dlna app.

As fun as it is to be indirectly told I'm either A) wrong or B) lying, I promise you that this works on my S6 after the 5.1.1 upgrade. I use it all the time. Maybe it's carrier-specific? What carrier are you on? What video app are you using?
And when you say "That doesn't work" (tech support person's dream), what do you mean? Do you not see the option? Do you see the option, but no destination? Do you see the destination, but the content doesn't transfer?

Sorry for the misunderstand, I dont want to tell you are lying. The option exists but it doent work with windows media player on my pc (that is my only use of dlna since i have no connected tv ..) with the exact same configuration that used to work with my s4
Im under 5.1.1 / 920f / windows 10 / wmp
So could you tell if it works with your pc ?
Moreover samsung didnt mention its dlna support at launch (wich i thought they simply forgot such a basic feature ) neither announced it was back wih 5.1.1
Sorry again for any bad impression i left earlier.

Thanks, and no worries. My response was a bit tongue-in-cheek.
I think the problem stems from you asking about something different from the initial question. The initial question was how to send content from the phone to the TV, which is what I answered, and which does work, and which is, I believe, DLNA.
What you seem to be asking about is how to view content from your PC on your phone. I'll admit that I had a mighty struggle with that, even on the S4, so I have never tried it with the S6. If you got it working on the S4, you're already a step ahead of me. I never bothered with trying to do it on the S6, and if I want to view content on my phone, I just transfer it over either by hooking up a cable or by using FileDrop, although the latter is kind of slow.
Now I can be more precise about my problem. I can't share content between WMP under windows 10 and my S6 , thing that I did easily with my S4 with the same configuration.
I thought first that it was due to DLNA incompatibility since it was not present in the S6 launch. But now I tried on a smart TV and it works great. Still though I can't detect my phone with WMP and vice versa. I think that is DLNA as well so no reason it doesn't work.
If someone can do than it should come from my settings. Otherwise It's something samsung deleted.
Edit: third party DLNA apps work well.. so the problem is with samsung video app. What a shame they drop such options!
Hello everybody,
I have bought new MATE 9 and i have discovered problem to connect it to my TV Philips 55PUS7181 via mirrorshare.
Both devices are connected to the same wi-fi, also googlecast function with youtube is working, but I cant connect it together via mirrorshare, that I can see mobile desktop on the TV.
It started to look for aviable devices, but my TV is not visible there. I have also tried to install some aplication from Google store for desktop sharing and there it is working, but connection is not stabil, for example video playing ist clicking.
I tried to ask Philips and Huawei customer service, but without answer.
Im really angry because I bought a phone for 700 Eur and i cant use it for sharing !
Has somebody the similar problem or can somebody help me ?
thanks a lot.

What exactly are you trying to Mirror? Videos to play from your phone or watch movies? Or are you trying to just show your screen to show pictures, etc? If it's videos, download Bubble UPnP. It works very well for casting. Click on the left pull down arrow where it shows Local Renderer and select your Phillips TV as default. Then try playing a video to cast.
I have same problem with Sony TV. 4k video have problem. Pictures show only black screen. Mirror screen when working not show in horizontal orientation. On my another phone Nubia Z11 works everything. Mate 9 very bad experience.

Yes it is Android smart TV Philips 55PUS7181.
Have the same problem with Sony Android Tv, using MirrorShare option from taskbar
Even if your Android TV says there are no updates available try opening the PlayStore and searching for 'Google Cast Receiver'. I did and sure enough there was an updated version.
This might be totally unrelated to your problem but it did fix some issues I was having casting from my Mate 9 to a brand new Sony Android TV.

Mate 9 definitely works with Chromecast protocol so if TV works with Android TV it should work
I have the same issue with a Philips 55PUS6561/12 TV and with a Huawei P9 phone. Youtube's Cast for example works perfectly fine, but the phone's Mirrorshare function cannot find my TV. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Hi everyone, today I just notice you can't watch YouTube TV while on Night Mode on but you can hear the audio. Also Netflix picture in picture is not possible. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I had this same problem with Google play movies and TV and movies anywhere app last week. I guess it's something related to night mode being on. I haven't tested it out again since the update but I take it that it's still giving us issues?
