Hello, I seen on other devices like HTC its possible to view pictures and videos in the default app, and then just choose and DLNA player instead of.
It seems like one must go trough the AllShare app.
Is there any other way? Settings or start using other Apps as default?
It would also be great if one could send videos playing in the browser to a DLNA device.

Is there any kind of app that acts like Apple's AirPlay? I would love to see something similar on Android. I've read about a home entertainment system from google that is in the works.
For the meantime... Has anyone found an app that does something similar? Outputting the device's screen to a DLNA TV or receiver would be awesome. But at least something to stream audio? I have a Sony BR player with DLNA and I can sync with DLNA to play any stored music on my phone, but I would love to play my Google Music stuff on the TV and sound system wirelessly. I have tried browsing to the site on the tv but it crashes everytime I try.
Any ideas?
Take a look at Skifta and/or 2Player. Both allow you to set DLNA source and target when playing music. I use Skifta on my Evo 3D to set my Synology NAS as the DLNA source and pick music for playback on my XBMC HTPC (my DLNA target). Works well.

I tried looking at 2Player, but from what I can tell it only plays the music stored on the device. If I wanted to use Google Music, it wouldn't work, right? Or am I missing something?
2Player can source music from any DLNA music source on your network. You had wifi turned on and checked the drop down box at the top of the 2player screen for alternate sources, right?
Fairly certain Google Music doesn't have an option to push content. If it does, I've never seen it. Hopefully, they'll add that at some point. I do like their interface.
I don't what kind of phone your on. I'm using HTC Evo 3D (Sprint.. but hacked with ICS and Sense 3.6). HTC's "Connected Media" app can also DLNA pull/push Music, Photos, and Video to network devices.
Maybe try that..

Yeah sorry, I've got the Epic 4g Touch (SGSII) on Sprint.. The phone has AllShare which would do a great job if I had music stored on the device. My problem is I use Google Music for everything.
FWIW, another app with AirPlay like functionality is doubleTwist. Don't think its going to help with the Google Music thing though.
No, this is limited by the chipsets. Currently the only chipset that allows for this is the TI OMAP 4460 in the Galaxy Nexus. Although the chipset has the capability it has not been developed to be usable yet.
I had been looking for an app like this for the longest time. I'm not sure who was able to crack the Airplay sender protocol, but there are now several options for streaming music FROM Android to any AirPlay receiver. I tried a couple and found AOA to be the most compatible with my setup

The other two install a service (all the ones I tried require root access), but I found them to not work or not be compatible with my current ROM. AOA was and it works great.
Does anyone know of a good player that will access my readynas running firefly server. i want an app that will show album art and either scroll or iconify the albums so i can leave prime set up on a stand to use as a jukebox during parties.
cheers
Not sure if this has everything you are looking for but to connect to my DLNA server for music I use BubbleUPnP. I like the look of the program and how you can choose which Library to read from, but you can also choose which Renderer to play to (or use local for either one).

Have you tried the native My Net app that's already on the Prime?

Did u try MyNet? It crashes all the time it is basically unusable. BubblePnp is a lot better.
tried both, not sure if i am using bubble right.
what i am after is an app that will show my album art in a grid or coverflow kinda way like itunes. something like a touchscreen jukebox you get in pubs. i want it easy for other people to just choose music without ever seeing a tablet before.
this might not be possible and the app might not exist.
the stock google music ap is ok in grid form.
ideally i would like a itunes clone with dj function that accesses my readynas
Looks like a while back, a guy created a firefly media server plugin for Plex that looks promising:

Plex is pretty cool, btw, it allows remote as well as within-LAN access to your media. Stream your music wherever you have iternet, on all your platforms (laptop, Prime, Ipad, phone, etc.)
Hi,
did anybody notice that twitch.tv offers somehow an opportunity to watch streams without using the rubbish flash player?
This happened to me when browsing to any channel which is currently live streaming with my i9100 mobile. The control elements within the streamed video are looking different (like native android controls) and a real fullscreen mode can be activated - see the attached screenshots..
The best thing: The video is streamed very smoothly and in high quality.
I tried Opera Classic and the default Android browser. Both had the alternative streaming mode.
Now I also wanted to have this feature on my Android TV box (accually no mobile), but it just shows me the regular flash player here. Changing the user agent to "mobile" did not help either.

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.
I just picked up my S9+ this past weekend, so I'm a little behind the curve, but one thing I've noticed has me perplexed. I have movie files, videos, etc, that I've had saved on my card, that the native player doesn't play, so as I always do, I installed VLC Player. If I go to the My Files app and pull the video up, it will prompt and ask what player I would like, with the usual Just Once / Always option.
However, in the Gallery itself, it always defaults to the stock video player (which means those above-mentioned files will not play). At no point have I ever been presented an option from within the Gallery to pick a player. Looking in the Default Apps menu, there's the standard Home Screen, Browser, and so on but nothing for the Video Player. I've tried setting VLC as the default player from within My Files, and it does affect anything I play from there, but the Gallery doesn't hang onto that. It's very possible that I'm missing something, but if there's a way to change it, I haven't found it yet.
On a tangent to that, if there's no way to set the default media player to choose files from within the Gallery app, does anyone know any simple 3rd party Gallery apps that are similar in form and function to stock? I don't need a lot of bells or whistles - just albums, and MAYBE the option to hide/show folders but even that's nothing important. But most of the ones I've seen are all about trying to do something massively grand, which is more involved than I would need.
Cheers in advance.
I am having the same issue
Just bought Galaxy S9 and I had Xiaomi before
After I transferred all my files from the older phone to the new one I realized none of the videos from the older phone is supported in the new Galaxy S9 which is very disappointing.
I also downloaded VLC and tried to set it as default but didn't find any option to do that...
Why to set default,Open that app to play videos
