Install growbox open it then open showbox select external for the player after you select a movie then when it asks what to play with select all cast choose tv and boom it streams.

Okay I'll try that next. Also when I tried streaming even just a minute long video I took from my s6 using all cast it would stop and buffer every 5 seconds..

Sigh. I got it working but a few mins into he movie a message pops up on the TV and says check Internet connection. I stream Netflix and everything just fine.. And showbox app works fine when I just stream it on my phone.

when I stream I usually send it to my xbox one , however it should be fine to the tv itself as well , I am hard wired tho , not wireless for the internet connection to the tv/xbox , sounds like it might be slow connection it its pausing or buffering, also latlly I been having problems loading up showbox , they just sit there and take a while to load , I finally gave up on showbox and loaded kodi (formally xbmx) on my htpc computer

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???

[REQUETE] [APP] DLNA and Nexus one

Hi all,
I tried to install DlnaService.apk from Acer Liquid. All went fine but the moment I tried to share content with my Plasma Samsung 8, even if it recognized my Nexus, it wasn't able to share content.
Anyone had a similar experience?
Wow I didn't even know you can do that with the Nexus, I'm also very interested now.
twonky server works with my samsung only tried pics and music so far, I expect it will be fussy with vids though due to codec support in my tv.
might also work with ps3 dlna too, probably better codec support on that
just fire up the app and press the source/input on your tv remote and it shows up in the menu.
instant android media server
obviously you need both devices on the same network
very cool - no config
Works with the PS3! Wow this is awesome, I'm streaming my mp3s from my Nexus One as I type this =]
Edit: Also works with pictures on the PS3, I don't have any vids on my Nexus or I'd try that also.

Which one? The Acer one or twonky server?
The Acer one you posted above "DlnaService.apk" it plays a bit choppy on the music, but I think that's only because I have them both on wireless.
@irajames1176
Ok...I have to try. With Samsung TV I have probs...
I tried out Twonky Mobile going to a WD TV Live and audio, video and music all worked just fine. Pretty nice little app, actually. Quick and easy way to show some pics you've snapped on your phone.
I know this is an old thread... but now that the Droid X is coming out and has a new DLNA app, has anyone heard of anyone locating it?
Hi,
I'm wondering if the opposite is OK. I mean I want to use my Nexus One to access my DLNA server (Buffalo LinkStation NAS) to pull contents from there and play on N1. Is there any workable solution? Thank you.
That would be good.

I'm looking for something like this too. I have a ****load of stuff on my nas with a dlna server on it, I'd like to be able to connect to it from my phone to listen to my vast music collection.
I am also interested in some kind of a dlna player app, which plays music and videos out of my buffalo NAS (now it is trying to download instead of streaming).

Andromote has a local player built in. It sees my Xtreamer Mk1 set top box but I can't play anything from it.
Also, this DNLA client above isn't seen by my Xtreamer. I blame the crappy UPNP implementation of the Xtreamer. Seems to work right on the Nexus one with my PC though.
Back to running a Samba server on the Nexus for accessing my things from the Xtreamer. Atleast that works great!

[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.

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.

[Q] How to stream movies with DLNA?

Just bought a new DLNA compliant TV, and successfully got pictures from my gallery to show on the TV.
But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to play movies. I would rather not go out and spend movie on another HTC device, so is there a way to do this directly? I was hoping for a system where I put movies on the phone and play them on the TV without having to pay additional fees.
When playing music or a movie, bring up the menu, select the SELECT PLAYER, option, if your TV and Phone are connected to your home network, you should see your TV model pop up. Select it, now you should get a pop up on your TV, enable and you should be good.
I have only been able to get the music to stream, keep getting error trying to play video on my Samsung LED TV.
T-MobileUS HTC One S
Thanks for your response. It got me to thinking that I missed the obvious. So, through the gallery, I went to a video, played it, selected the player, and it appeared on the TV. BUT, it also gave me an error message that stopped the video after I tapped "OK". So, I am thinking I need some specific video app that would handle videos properly for DLNA.
Any suggestions?
From phone no, I always just stream the movies off my laptop.
T-MobileUS HTC One S
Duh! I never thought about that. I want to Vuze, and the TV was connected to my home network and handled the movies just fine.
Thanks for the redirection.

[Q] MP3 Player and DLNA?

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.

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.

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

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
