Is there any way to let xda be a workstation?
Or can the xda share the notebook resources thr. activesync?
Such as:
*Let Window Media Player access wmp files which is store in the harddisk of my notebook;
*Print a document thr. the printer which connected to my notebook;
*Access the viewcam which contected to the notebook for video conference on xda.
Any suggestion?

I am about to purchase a NAS device to act as a home media server.
So far my short list includes:
Synology Disk Station DS210j
QNAP TS-210 Turbo NAS
Some of them support iTunes server and can stream music to an iPhone. Surely there is a way to do this on the Eris! Is there an iTunes client for Android 1.5 or perhaps a better way to do this?
Any help appreciated!
dont know anything about android, but my nas drive packed in and i got a new one from pc world. i thought it was a nas drive but wasnt it was a network media storage, my ameo couldnt pick it up at all because it wasnt a nas drive, pc seen it fine and could map. hope this is of some help. make sure its nas.
Not sure if your NAS device supports Upnp, but if it does like windowns 7 and can share media as Pictures Music and Videos, I found a program on the market that I could access the files on the computer over my network, the music would work but I couldn't get the videos to play. Search for UPNP on the market, I'll post the program later when the gf brings her phone around. There was a similar program on the Ipod touch, although it was able to play the video files, probably missing a codec in android.
The program was Andromote... if you have windows 7 set up sharing all the media on your nas you would be able to access it.
if a mod reads this, can you pull the restriction.. I don't post much but have used the site for quite a while. Thanks.
It's not exactly graceful, but I use MPD (Music Player Daemon), PMix (an Android client for MPD), and A Online Radio to stream my music collection to my Droid Eris (via Icecast). Unfortunately, the native Droid media player doesn't support the usual streaming protocols, but the above combo works. When I'm outside my home network, I use a web based client for MPD and have my Icecast port forwarded on my router. If the NAS device you pick up supports Linux, you should be able to install MPD and Icecast (both are available in most distros); the Market has both PMix and AOR for free.
The protocol iTunes uses for streaming audio is called DAAP, but I'm unaware of any DAAP clients on the Android platform yet. Searching google for "Android DAAP" led me to a site which offers a client application to control iTunes from Android, but not client. Again, if the NAS system runs Linux but doesn't provide a DAAP server, you can possibly install Firefly Media Server (formerly mt-daap) to mimic the fuctionality. However until there's a client, there is little point.
I would like to share video from my computer / sgs2 on the tab. I cannot find a way to launch allshare although the internet suggests this should be possible. Sending files via Bluetooth doesn't seem to work, either and the 2 devices have a lot of problems finding each other. What is the best way to play video stored on my phone wirelessly on the tab?

I'm using a TVersity Media Server on my desktop and Skifta on my tablet to stream music and video (using Dice Player). Works very well, at least for my 720p tv series.
I use TVersity straight to my tab's browser.
+1 for Tversity, and i use UpnPlay for the viwer
since plex is not working anymore i now use emit.... works great for me
i want to test this option also in the future:
Code:

i also tried to connect via a file explorer, but could not setup a connection because i dont have/want a password on my windows 7 account(s)

So you have taken some pictures and a movie on your new PRIME and you want to stream the slide show or show the movie via your HTPC (of course connected to your TV). You don't want to connect your PRIME to the TV via an HDMI cable. You don't want to physically upload the multi-media to your HTPC, just stream it.
So what app are you using on the PRIME?
What software are you using on your HTPC?
Is the connection WiFi or Bluetooth?
So who has done this and what is your solution?
I am ONLY looking for working solutions that you have had success with.
Me too! I want something like the splashtop app but reversed.

Thanks everyone for your input.
The MirrorOp product line (software & hardware) from AWINDINC looks exactly what I want for WiFi projection from my PRIME to a HTPC. They support MAC's and PC's with their software.
Basically you need their sender software on your PRIME tablet and their receiver software on your PC. The MirrorOP Photo Sender is FREE and does not require ROOT. The MirrorOP Sender software cost $10, requires ROOT, can project video but NO audio. Also your PC must have WiFi or be on lan network that has Wifi. You also need to visit their website to get your PC or MAC software to be able to receive your video.
BubbleUPnP is going to take a little time to play with to see if it will work.
I am going to try the MirrorOP software this evening and report back tomorrow.

The MirrorOP Sender works GREAT. You get about 5 minutes FREE usage. If you want more then you must pay $10. NO AUDIO and about 20 FPS according to their test program.
The MirrorOP Photo Sender works and is FREE but there is a problem with colors so not recommended with the current release.
Both of these apps were tested from my ROOTED PRIME.
The PC Receiver program is FREE and works with both apps.
My quest was to find an app for the PRIME and software for my HTPC to stream video or pictures FROM the PRIME to the HTPC via WiFi. With your help I have found the software to do that job.
Now I am looking to add AUDIO to the upload from the PRIME to my HTPC for the perfect combination!
Any suggestions for that perfect combination would be appreciated.

Since you mention an HTPC as a client why not use DLNA/UPnP? Most pads have a DLNA server, ASUS adds for free MyNet, use that to share your media files with your HTPC client.
Just launch the media player on your HTPC (for sure it will support DLNA/UPnP) search for a server (the MyNet on your TP), browse for your media and .... play.
You might want to enable Digital Media Server under the settings of MyNet. I believe it's on by default, I have it always off.
The MirrorOP someone suggested you is basically a remote desktop server (needing a proprietary client) which replicates your local TP screen to your client. There are very few remote desktop solutions that support sound as well.
Use Skifta (free on android market).
It's an DLNA enabled player that let's you pick your DLNA source and render target.
Using the TF201 as the source and my HTPC (XBMC Eden Beta 3 / Win 7.. be sure to enable "Allow control of XBMC via UPNP" in Network Settings) as the target, I was able to stream over wifi.
Short movie clip I made from TF201's camera worked with both video and audio. I also was able to stream RIO.mkv from TF201 which surprised me. It's 1080p h.264 (encoded full profile at CQ19) mkv with 5.1 sound. I only watched about 4 minutes though.
I tried to bypass the HTPC and use my TV (Ethernet DLNA enabled Samsung LN46C750) as the DLNA target but playback wasn't smooth. It would play for 3-4 seconds, buffer, resume playing, buffer again, etc.,.. Going through HTPC worked much better.
Thanks for the post, as I had not thought to test Skifta this way. Normally, I just use it pick music on my NAS (10TB Synology 411J) for playback on the HTPC.
I think 2player and bubbleupnp(not free) should also work like skifta.. but I haven't tested them..

Thanks for your input. I want to play music and video from the PRIME to my HTPC.
I am aware of several apps for my PRIME for DLNA server functions:
Skifta
UPnPlay which requires a 3rd party player for video.
BubbleUPnP
The questions is what is the best software for my Windows 7 PC to be a DLNA CLIENT?
I am not using XBMC but MediaPortal for my HTPC functions.
There is an XDA forum for BubbleUPnP - UPnP/DLNA Control Point and Renderer.
The BubbleUPnP Server site. BUBBLEUPNP SERVER IS NOT AN UPNP AV MEDIA SERVER. It requires at least one working UPnP AV Media Server (Windows Media Player, Twonky, Asset UPnP, ...) to do something useful.
I will try BubbleUPnP tonight.
Awwww man, i thought this thread was going to lean towards mirroring.

can i Turn my Windows PC Into An Wireless Receiver To receive Songs From my android device
sorry for my english
Yes you can! Downtown a program called VLC from videoland and from the play store vlc direct.
You setup vlc on your PC as the server and you control from your android. You can play both audio and video files and the files can be on your PC or streamed from your android.

thanks, but any way to do this easier and use any music player
any help
no one know another method
I am have set up mu Galaxy Tab 10.1 as a Central "Hub" mounted on my wall and streaming to my Chromecast, my Bluetooth Stereo and answering voice commands even while Screen Off mode. Its really turned out to be an idea thats exceeded my expectations.
So my next intergration, is getting the "Hub" media onto all of my other devices, I have 3 tabs/phones. I can get access to Kodi to LocalCast using DLNA/UPnP and onto Kore the Kodi remote. I can swap files using SMB or FTP servers to any file manager......but these are not EXACTLY my ultimate goal.
I am looking to connect my photos/music/video off of my Hub to all other devices, no matter what App, Music Player or Gallery App I'm using AS IF the media was stored on each device as a Local File. If the media could be picked up by the Android Media Scanner that would be amazing, but really I need to be able to browse and play the media using just about any Application. I think that explains it pretty clearly, I hope there is a solution already available...
..in the haystack Ive been searching but cant find a single solution to this. [emoji38]
