Does anyone know what formats HTC Media Share supports on the Evo 3D?
You would assume itd be the same support as the internal player, but im not seeing .mp4/.m4v showing up on my PS3.
Couldnt find any settings that would affect this either.
EDIT: May have been the .m4v, change it to .mp4 and now it works
does the media share app pick up movies that i have downloaded via htc watch? like the green hornet?

So I am having some issues with my atrix. I am trying to watch movies off my hdmi and video and audio are both working. The only problem is that the sound is not in sync with the video. Do i need to convert the videos files in order to correct this issue or am i doing something wrong. Sorry if this question has already been posted but i couldn't find any info on it.
its not the phone. The problem is from the way you are converting it. Try a different program and see if that helps.

Have you played them on a PC to see what they look like?
What software are you using to create the videos?
What source are you using? (avi, wma, etc.)
Where is the source material coming from?
If they are out of sync on another device/computer, then it rules out the phone.
yeah I have, the play fine on my windows media player. I downloaded them via torrent and they play fine on my laptop. They are .AVI files and I already trouble shooted them all on my phone. They all seem to do the same thing. windows media player plays them just fine. My atrix plays them too but the sound doesnt go in sync with the actors voices.
I really dont think its the phone, I just think its the software in the phone that is causing it. I have tried other players on android market and they do the same thing.
I did not convert the files to mp4 or mkv files. Im thinking that this is the issue. Its just a drag to convert them since it takes so long to do the conversion.
Have an external hd connected to my western digital media hub, both have quite a lot of movies on there id like to stream to my phone, i can stream mp4 through twonky quite easily but 99% of my movies are ripped in mkv format, would be perfect if i could stream them to my phone then use hdmi out to watch in another room, any ways to do this?
no then? :s

Would like to know any app that can stream media files from smb/cifs share.
CIFS Manager will get you file level access to the NAS, provided the kernel you're running supports CIFS (I don't have an SGS, so can't tell you). You should be able to find instructions in the forums.
In terms of playback of the actual files, if they're playable from SD card, they should work via CIFS manager.
Have a look into Plex as its an awesome app. It has a problem on the S2 at the mo but there is away around this, read the post here:

Another way to try is to dl UPnPlay and then see if this works, you may need to download rockplayer but the stock video player should work with UPnPlay
I am having issues streaming movies wirelessly. I can connect to my TV using wifi and stream music, but when I try to do the same with the movies, I get an error message. Am I doing something wrong? I downloaded DivX movies, avi, and none work. What am I doing wrong?
You gotta give us some more details in order to help you out. What method are you using to try and stream movies? What does the error msg your getting say?
Streaming
First going to a Gallery. Selecting a Video. After clicking on a menu, and it gives you 3 options Trim, Select player, and Play in 3D.
Don't remember the exact error since I'm not at home at the current moment, but it pretty much says that this type of a file is not supported.
Common issue is that the program may not support that specific file type... There are a lot of ways to end up with a .avi file, some work better then others...
Try a .mpg or .mpeg ... If those types play fine, Its the file, If they don't either... Hard Reset. (most likely a jacked up codec or damaged media player program on the phone)
I have downloaded video formats .mpg and .mpeg
Did a Hard Reset, and still unable to stream
I get a message "The player is unable to play this type of file"
I don't know what else to do.
I have had 100% success with .mp4 movies. Try encoding your videos with Wondershare or Handbrake using the H.264 codec (Best Quality) IMO.
Keep the files below 2GB - EVO doesn't like them any bigger. (could that be your issue? Are you trying to play files that are larger than 2GB?)
No, the movie is 1.95 GB.
I just want to be able to stream it without converting anything, from my phone on to my TV. (I have a SONY LED 3D 55" TV)
I even tried my PS3, and that didn't work. Maybe there is an app that streams any format?
Make sure ur tv has DLNA, that's how its streams it. If ur tv doesn't have it then it won't work

I can stream some formats of music and pictures, so I'm assuming if I can stream those, then my TV is capable for DLNA?

The 2GB issue is not that the Evo doesn't like it, it is a limitation of FAT32.
Not really sure what other file systems the phone will read, but if it supports ext2/ext3/ext4 then you shouldn't have the file size limitation any more.
Then I would search the market for vid players that play all formats and try again. I believe arc media does

The 2GB limitation is currently a limitation of Android. FAT32 has a 4GB limitation.
There are bugs already posted about the 2GB limitation of Android.
I'm having another issue. A couple days ago I could see my pc under devices named daniel-pc. Click on that (I'm within the music app trying to simply stream music from my shared folder on my computer) and I was receiving an error message saying something to the effect of I do not have permission to access this... Please allow access and try again. I don't remember the exact wording and I will post about that when I can get to it.
For now I have a different issue. I am connected to my wifi, I go to the music app hit the top evo 3d thing or menu -> select player and it simply buffers for a min then does not find my damn pc for some reason. I did a factory reset, no dice, hooked up via cable, ditto. I Updated profile and prl. I Did absolutely nothing different to my computer or router settings. I Updated my router firmware after not working which also did not help.
Btw my xbox which is hooked up via ethernet finds and plays daniel-pc just fine. My computer is not wifi its using ethernet to get to the router. As I sed earlier I could see my pc when going to select player so that isn't the issue. Thanks ahead. First post sorry for the length.
have u tried the media share app on the phone if that didnt work try tversity for your computer instead of your phone.
Media share works fine. As soon as I turn it on htc media share pops up on the left side of wmp. I can pull up my media from my phone easily. I'm trying to do the opposite and play files from my pc on my phone using the select player option. You can find this also by opening a picture up pressing menu then select player. if your on wifi now your computer should show up. At least that's what it used to do
Dos anyone knows how to use DLNA with connected media app on E3D? I have a PS3 and bluray player that DLNA enabled but I can't use the connected media app when it searches for player it doesn't find anything. I can use the media share app and my ps3 and bluray player sees the phone but I find that complicated way of streaming media from my phone. So any ideas how to make this thing work? Thanks.
Media share app complicated? It's so easy and that's what you're going to have to use my friend or download an app off the market. In media share app, just check the share box, choose which folders on your SD cars to share, music, DCIM, VIDEOS, ETC. AND BOOM!!

And boom? Lol funny. What if I have close to 100 videos and thousands of music? That connected media app there for a reason and I want to know how it works.
Does anyone know a good app that can stream 3d movies on your pc to your evo 3d?? I can't seem to find one. I've tried plex, skifta, gmote and it wont play in 3d. I think the only player that can allow you to play in 3d is the Evo's native video player which gives you the option to 3d. Otherwise you have to place the 3d movie on your phones SD card which takes up a lot of space. So I am trying to store it on my computer and just stream it through DLNA. If anyone knows that would be great.
Try zumocast. Havent tried it for 3d movies but i dont see why it wouldnt work.

I actually had the same thought and tried zumocast but it just plays the movie sbs. I think it must use a default player that doesn't support stereoscopic.

Have you tried from VLC direct Pro? According to the app, you can stream from phone to pc and vice versa. I emailed them about it, but they have yet to respond. A lot of the movie files I've seen are over 4GB, which is the limit for either android or my HTC evo3d (forgot).
EDIT:
Also, MX Video allows me to play all the 3D videos I've recorded. I prefer this app to the native for movies because it has convenient controls using swipe gestures.
