[Q] any experience with Samsung's WI-FI All-Share Cast Hub

I recently learned about Samsung's WI-FI All-Share Cast Hub (wireless HDMI Display Adapter). See details here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089VO7MY
I'm thinking about getting one to use with my 5113. Before I do, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has tried and/or used one.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
Does your device support all share cast or are you just looking to add DLNA to a TV?

You hit upon my confusion. I'm confused about DLNA, Miracast, AllShare Cast. I've been unable to learn if either Miracast or AllShare Cast is supported on my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1. I am running stock (but rooted) Android 4.1.1 on the device.
I should have asked about solutions rather than specific technologies. What I would like to do is:
1. display/show pictures that are on my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 on my TV screen wirelessly
2. display/show videos stored on my tablet similarly
3. watch Youtube & HBOgo videos on my TV using the cabailities on my tablet
I am familiar with WiDi and would like that capability as well so that I can also use my Windows 8 table to connect to my TV.
If you go to Samsung they are out of stock. I hope they are upgrading this box so it is a lot speedier.
If you read the reviews for this device on amazon it seems it may be too slow.
As for all share cast just go to the play store and see if your device supports the app.
I am also considering one of these to add DLNA to an older 61" plasma display. My tab 2 7.0 does not support cast, but I have alot of videos that work with allshare.
I think streaming won't work without cast, but that is a guess.
I got the allshare cast dongle today. I bought it for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 but it does not work
I also have a SIII. That works fine. On the S3 you can connect with the dongle from the connection settings. It has a option AllShare cast. The Tab 2 does not have that option.
Please let me know if you have a solution.

[Q] Chromecast works only with YouTube!

Hello all,
I have chromecast, but only Youtube works when I use my Xperia Z to cast to chromecast, other apps like the chromecast app (the one used to set up) itself and avia (I paid for chromecast support) do not work and neither of them is capable of discovering my chroemcast. Although Chromecast app can detect the device (the chromecast) only when setting it up, after that, it fails to detect.
The funny thing is that my Nexus 7 can always detect it and I can cast to the chromecast with avia or any app. without any problem when using N7. Did you guys face the same issue and were able to fix it?
What devices I have tried so far to test and was able to cast ONLY with Youtube:
Xperia Z
Xperia Z1
Galaxy S3
Nexus 5
What devices I have tried so far to test and was able to cast with ANY supported app:
Nexus 7 (2012)
Galaxy tab 8"
From this I can say that I have no network/router issues, but chromecast/software issue, and I ask if you know or have found a solution for this? Why do you think only tablets can freely cast to the chromecast?
The chromecast is in stock ROM, latest update (I cant remember the version, I am at work now). The router is HUAWEI 5172, with AP disabled.
Thanks in Advance

Control android tv box with android phone (no root)

Hi guys I bought a Himedia h8 tv box and would like to control it with my phone, specifically for typing etc as using the remote is quite cumbersome. Is there an app to install? I have tried tablet remote but i am unable to install it from the play store on the h8 as it is not "compatible". It needs to work over wifi as there is no bluetooth on this tv box.
If its easier, can I use the IR blaster??
Also prefer to not root. My note 2 is rooted however don't wanna root my tab s or dads s4. The tv box is not rooted.
Thanks

Did dedicate camera for samsung smart tv will work on android box?

Hello, I have a samsung smart tv and dedicated camera for that: SAMSUNG CY-STC1100. The skype application used to run on the TV, but it has lost support.
I plan to buy the H96 Pro tv dongle (android) and my question is if the camera connected to it will handle that?
After smart tv stopped supporting skype I found older version of skype(for various TV series) with drivers(inter alia to camera) which was installed from a pendrive and this worked wonderfully, but now it doesn't work. If you don't know the solution, could you recommend a camera that works on the android box?
