I want to do something probably simple but don't know how... Let's say I have a video file on my windows computer. Is it possible to watch it the same time on my phone while it plays on the pc? If yes is there a guide of how to do so? Of course both are connected to the same wifi network.

You want to mirror the screen? You could use an app like TeamViewer or Logmein. Those will allow you to view your PC screen from your phone.
No no no... I want the pc to play a video file on any player and at the same time stream that video file to my Android tablet.

just open it on your computer, and open it in your phone/tablet, and press play on both.

Use Splashtop. If your network is good enough you can even stream and play games.
Like Teamviewer, this has the added benefit of being able to completely control your PC from your phone.

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,

Hey any one know about an app that i could leave my phone somewhere and watch the camera from my tablet or someting similar??
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Try ipwebcam. I used to use it on my phone to use as a webcam, and you can view the stream online which I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do with your tablet.
I'm sure there are other webcam apps out there also. I seem to remember using one that streamed the camera over wifi but I can't remember the name of it.

I tried sending a video from my Nexus 4 through whatsapp and noticed that my video was too large of a file. I know how to convert it on a PC, but it's a hassle to startup my PC just to convert the video to 480p or 360p. Is there a way to do that directly on my Android phone?
Thank you.

This is Probably the best app

Put bubbleupnp on both the storage\server phone and on the phone you want to be the player. Think there are a few YouTube videos on how to use it. That's what I use personally.

I want to transfer two folders from my SD card download folder on my n5 to my sister's n5..
I tried turning on NFC and touching the phones, but I didn't see any way to transfer the folders.. Same for Bluetooth..

Use Superbeam..
Upload it to an online storage (Google drive, dropbox, box, etc.) and send her a link.
Or there are probably some apps in the play store that will transfer files over WiFi.
Folders and files can't be sent with NFC. It's mainly for smaller things like photos, links and contact info.

Well good luck with that. Depending on how big the files are, you will most likely need some kind of internet. Bluetooth will be slow or have errors.
