Is there any other services besides Samsung Media Hub that supports downloading movies and tv shows to an Android device?

Hi
I see the sgs2 has AllShare which would appear to be able to send media to a DLNA server?
I want a box that I can stream photos/music to and it needs to play it through the TV. I was looking at the Western Digital TV Live hub media centre but then i figured an XBox360 would do the same thing and more anyone got any advice? both are below £200
Thanks
I need some DLNA player to my phone and maybe DLNA server to Windows.
- What I want from a DLNA player to my phone: gets subtitles from server, and play avi/mkv/mp4 files, with subtitles.
- What I want from a DLNA server to Windows: stream avi/mkv/mp4+subs without needing to encode.
If possible, a explanation about CIFS, can it be useful to share my stuff and play on the phone with subtitles?
[To DLNA server I'm using Samsung PC Share Manager 4.2, I won't upgrade to AllShare, it's worse. And I use PC Share Manager with my Samsung TV, and it's working good]
And yes, I've tested a lot of servers and players, and no luck. The closest I got was BubbleUPnP+PC Share Manager, but it was without subtitles.
Thank you.
I'm sure everyone is somewhat familiar with Samsung's AllShare Cast dongle that's used to wirelessly "cast" media from a Samsung device(your Note 3) to the AllShare Cast hardware dongle/device attached to any compatible TV... What I'm curious about is does anyone have experience with any of the other hardware devices used for screen mirroring or "casting" directly from their device to an attached dongle or TV? In your opinion, what's the BEST out there? I've already got a Chromecast and it works well for what it's supposed to do...it streams NetFlix, Youtube, Hulu Plus, Google Play Music, Google Play Videos, but it DOESN'T stream directly from a mobile device....YET. So it doesn't fully meet my needs right now. I know the Roku is an option, but I was just wanting your opinions on any device you prefer.
Thanks guys!
I recently got the Chromecast and wish it did everything, but only time will tell.
This is probably in the minority, but I use my server/htpc with XBMC to play everything else. XMBC allows DLNA devices, so I can stream local content on my phone to the computer. I also use it to stream some other content. For example, I use Anime Plus app to watch some anime. It gives me the option to use external players, because of this I choose the default Samsung player and then click the AllShare icon to send it to my computer. If there are other apps out there that allows you to use the default video player, then you should be able to do the same.
For music, I use Subsonic since it's also on my htpc computer, but I rarely play music through my TV.
Hi all,
I have a network drive with my media library attached to the router (belkin 600 play). Also I have Xperia z tablet and dlna enabled Samsung TV. Router is not a dlna media server.
I need a player for android that can
1)see not just servers but all shares of the local network. (bs player can do this the way I would like to)
2) play all formats is "a must"
3) cast playback to TV (as a dlna server)
So as for now there are tons of players with different combinations of these features, but none combine them all. I wonder if bsplayer pro can play to TV, but not ready to pay 7$ to get Answer))))
Thanks
Is it possible to use a Google TV box as a media server?
Meaning can I plug my HDD into it and 'retrieve' media from it e.g music, photos etc?
Guess not then?
