I have been thus far unable to see my pc in the AllShare "Remote Device" pane.
I've been on several sites looking for help but have come up empty handed. Anyone else had this problem?
My set up:
Windows 7
BT Home Hub 3
Galaxy S2
What I've done so far:
Enable Homegroup
In Windows Mdeia Player selected Stream > Automatically Allow Devices To Play My Media
Ensured that all of the Libraries I wish to share are set up correctly (they are as I can stream to my XBox360 no problem)
I open up AllShare, select "Remote Device" it scans and finds nothing.
I'm sure I'm being a complete 'tard, but cannot for the life of me figure out what I've done wrong!
Any ideas, folks?
From what I have seen so far on youtube I was under the impression that allshare is supposed to work the other way around - send for example a video stream from the phone to a TV or other dlna enabled device. I am not sure if it works from PC to the phone.
Got it figured, I did everything correctly except wait!
The Home Hub is on the ground floor and I'm on the top, with 5 other devices connected to the router. It was taking a minute or two to discover my pc, then a further minute each level of directory down.
I've rebooted the Home Hub and it has improved markedly, although the types of file that will stream over to the device are somewhat restricted; avi's play fine, mkv and mpeg will not play. Music seems fine.
Tried to send some video to my XBox but was unsuccessful, may not be enough bandwidth I guess...
Do you know what codecs it supports? I'm running Orb on my Mac Mini and trying to stream so AVIs but it's not playing ball...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
did you remember to put the xbox into media centre mode first, before trying to send video?
I have noticed that if I have Subsonic open in the background and its not playing and then I plug in my phone to my pc and use it as a disk drive, if I unplug the phone Subsonic will start to play music all by itself...
If I do the same steps without subsonic running it wont play music. Or if I do the same steps and plug in my phone just to charge using the charge only option it also wont play music...
Is this a bug? Maybe with Subsonic?
Anyone else experience this?
Im looking for a desktop media library/music player that allows a random song sync with android. I also want to limit the amount of memory it fills. For instance i want to set it to sync random songs out of my library to fill a max of 3gb.
Ive tried winamp but for some reason it only wants to sync full albums rather than individual songs, despite making sure the option is unticked under autofill options.
Im sure there must be something out there that can do this, seems like a fairly basic requirement to me!! Anyone found anything that can do this?
I too am interested in this functionality. Any suggestions?
Media Monkey cando this.
Works fine if I put the SD card into the computer. But I'm having issues with it being painfully slow if I connect via USB (but I think this is a hardware/driver issue not MediaMonkey). No wireless options available that I've found.
I tried to use connected media with my SONY BRAVIA KDL46NX710
I could display my photos to the tv, but both music and video failed to do so (gets stuck at buffering and then says error.
Im guessing the formats are not supported. (i could use my laptop to DLNA anything to my tv though, music/video/pictures)
Wondering if there is a solution to this and did anyone else encounter this problem.
Anyone experiencing crashing with the newest Amazon MP3 update? Seems like when I go to log into the Cloud Player I just get a white screen. Can't back into anything or pull up a menu.
