has anyone heard if this app was squashed or if its just going to be released at a later date now? Via ota maybe?
"In addition, the Galaxy S™ smartphone features best-in-class entertainment features, including future access to Samsung Media Hub, a library of video and literary content powered by some of the biggest names in entertainment. Samsung Mobile looks forward to sharing additional information about Media Hub in the near future and the Galaxy S™ smartphone will feature a temporary app that can take users to download Media Hub in the future. The Galaxy S™ smartphone features Samsung’s All Share application, which enables inter-device connectivity through DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), allowing users to send video content wirelessly to other DLNA-enabled devices, such as TV’s, monitors and computers, allowing for a rich, interactive entertainment experience."

mmm just read this on source02?
the range of services we already offer like Media Messaging and the O2 Games Arcade and fully exploits the technology we have available today. We want to develop a range of communications and entertainment services that our customers really want and trials like this give us the opportunity to listen to our customers and get crucial feedback."
O2's Mobile Video trial aims to encourage experimentation with its range of services and will give trialists the unique opportunity to download or stream video content free of charge during the six week period. This trial will use some of the most advanced UK mobile phone technology through the latest mobile phones - the Nokia 7650, Nokia 3650 and the O2 xda.
During the six week Mobile Video trial period, O2 will showcase a range of services including the ability to create and send your own video clips. Using the built in camera of the Nokia 7650 and Nokia 3650, you can record up to 10 seconds of video and send it to another video capable phone or email address, using O2's existing Media Messaging service.
The trial will also offer the opportunity to browse, select and download video clips via a special trial WAP portal. The content providers will include Sky delivering regularly updated news, sport, weather and entertainment. Once selected, the clip will be 'streamed' or downloaded on to the customers mobile via the O2 mobile data network.
O2 is also leveraging its sponsorship of Arsenal football club and the England Rugby team. Arsenal fans will be able to get exclusive Arsene Wenger interviews and post match highlights whilst rugby followers will have access to footage of England rugby internationals.
Last month, O2 announced a trial the world's first 'music over mobile' service using existing mobile data (GPRS or 2.5G) technology. The O2 music service will enable customers to select, retrieve and store the latest chart hits via their GPRS-enabled mobile handset onto a specially designed 'digital music player' – and start listening in around 12 seconds. Starting in May 2003 in the UK and Germany, the music trials are expected to lead to the launch of a commercial service later this year. O2 is partnered by global brand MTV and the largest music providers in the world, including BMG, who will provide track listings for new chart releases as well as pre-releases
sounds intresting
I've always owned Apple products so this is a little foreign to me. I've noticed DLNA 'servers' to make non-DLNA devices like the iMac make sure of DLNA... but that just sounds like a streaming cloud service?..nothing special, no?
I know the possibilities are endless.. but i'm just curious how everyone puts the cool feature to use/applying it.
not sure what u r asking.

I don't think I am understanding what you are asking, but I'll try to explain it. Apple has utilised streaming to devices using their own proprietary tools. This ensures that it will always work, because Apple has designed it but the problem is, not all devices support the "Apple" standard and Apple won't let all of them do such.
DLNA is a standard that allows you to share media over a network with a wide variety of devices.
A couple examples of devices that support DLNA
HDTV's (With WiFi or NIC Cards)
Google TV
Playstation 3
XBOX 360
Newer DVD and Blu-Ray Players
Windows Media Player
Boxee
Roku
There are more, but this is just an example. With the Galaxy S II I decided to do a test when trying to drain my battery and I was curious as to how much it could handle, this also can give you an idea of some potential that you can use DLNA for.
In my SGSII I have a 32GB Class 2 MicroSD card. On it I keep a selection of Music and HD Movies. From my SGSII I started up the DLNA Sever, then I started playing a movie on it. I fired up my Google TV and started streaming a HD Movie on that, then my PS3. I decided to truly push the limits and then started streaming on my Desktop, Laptop, and my Eee Pad Transformer.
In a 1 Bedroom apartment, that's overkill, but think about it like this. You go to someone's house for a party, and want to share your music. They have multiple devices in multiple rooms and you have a large varied collection. You can use your phone on their WiFi Network as the media device. Offering up different music in different rooms. That's where the value in DLNA can come from.
Hi, i think that this italian source's good. Take this guide (use Google Translate if you don't understand), it's very clear: Guide to DLNA with Android
What do u think about it?
I use DLNA to send music from my phone to my Sony TV. It does video also

I'm very interested to see how Google navigates the 'Live TV' area of the Nexus Q home entertainment machine. Google TV hasn't exactly taken off as they had expected for a number of reasons - namely high price and buggy, hard to understand implementation. I'm hoping they've learned from their mistake with the Nexus Q.
Right now my home TV setup is comprised of a live TV server (Windows Media Center on Windows 7) and then an Xbox 360 running as a media center extender. This bring me live, HD TV with a great UI and total DVR functionality. It's decent, but a bit of a pain to launch the MCE App on the Xbox when you want to watch TV.
Google bought SageTV almost exactly 2 years ago. SageTV consisted of a media server running on a home PC which provides all DVR functionality, and then SageTV 'placeshifter' which allowed you to watch TV, including premium cable content with a Cablecard, to any of their supported platforms.
SageTV was java-based, which means it is wholly possible that Google could be writing it into the Android platforum and the Nexus Q would be a perfect 'Extender' device. I'm hoping that Google might be working on this as a large secret project so that they can dominate the home entertainment ecosystem.
To me this would be the 'holy grail' of home entertainment. A box that supports both on-demand content (YouTube, Netflix, Music) as well as Live TV.
Does anyone think this is possible? Would you use such a setup?
I think your looking more for a Google TV than the Nexus Q. It's strange to kind of have competing boxes but the Nexus Q seems just for streaming content and the ability to easily share from phone/tablet to your entire house depending on how many you have.
Why they just didn't ad some of these functions to the Google TV product I don't know.
But a nexus q as a front end working with say hdhome turner and feeding streams out Google tv.....god I want this, I love my htpc but I want something like android for the popularity

I like the idea of the All Share Play hub, streaming movies direct to my tv this way via wifi would be worth doing (unlike MHL to HDMI which in addition to the tv and phone requires THREE additional components to be connected, including power adaptor).
What I don't like about it is the proprietory nature of it, and the fact that I have no guarantee it will be compatible with my next phone - especially if that phone isn't a Samsung.
This is a new area of interest for me, so excuse my ignorance, but is there not an open standards type of device that can do this, which will allow me to use any phone with it?
Bump.
While I doubt it's as easy to use (AllShare is specifically geared for sharing media AFAIK - I removed it from my phone so I don't really know what it's like), Samba Filesharing will turn your phone into a SMB server (possible alternative: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codesector.droidnas). Samba is GPLed, so on the openness front you're covered. I'm not sure what kind of speeds you would get, though, so try the app (it's free) and mount the share on a GNU/Linux computer and see if it works well for you if you're interested. There's a bit of a shift in the way it works: with AllShare, I believe, you initiate the streaming from your phone. With Samba, you share a folder but have to navigate to it from whatever device it is you're attempting to stream to.
Assuming that you are, if you have a hacked Samsung TV, you can then mount the Samba share from it and start browsing. If not, you can buy small Android devices that plug into your TV for cheap prices - and there are, of course, ways to mount a Samba share on an Android device (along with a WIP port of XBMC, which features SMB browsing anyway).

I was high on something. Look into DLNA and using your phone as UPnP Media Server.
I have 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7” tablets which I would like to use as an in-car movie player with both tablets mounted to headrests and playing the same movie simultaneously. Both have the Group Share app which could in theory do this, but the version available for the Tab 2 doesn’t support video.
I’ve tried:
• Using hotspot wifi with a variety of DLNA/UPnP players/servers. I nearly achieve it with Bubble UPnP which functions on the hotspot mini network, but it won’t play on the server device as well as playing on the client device.
• Using hotspot wifi with a separate server device (smartphone) playing to 2 client devices (the 2 tablets). Again this nearly works with Bubble UPnP but it won’t play to 2 client devices at the same time – presumably a limitation of the technology.
• Screenshare app by spring design. Will enable a video to be played on one tablet controlled by the other tablet, but not simultaneously on both.
• Teamviewer – looks like it could work but couldn’t get the app working. Suspect it won’t work on a hotspot or wifi direct network.
Are there any other apps or workarounds which might achieve this? I feel that it must be possible...
