In the video player app, when i select NAS in nearby devices, it just keeps on processing, it does not load the network videos. however, it works fine in image gallery.
And the whole thing works perfectly in s2.
Anyone facing similar problem?
Having the exact same issue... have tried LG8, LH1 and LH4... NO luck!
How did you fix this?
Thanks,

Mine is the opposite it doesnt work in the gallery but loads fine in the video player when I select nearby devices.
-JOSH-
I just don't understand what it's doing! It's like it's trying to index every video I've got (about 1TB of them).
I can quite quickly browse my nas through es file explorer, but pretty miffed that this is worse than previous galaxies.

Mine works, too, but it takes a minute or so to load the icons/thumbnails (I've got about 3TB of films and TV series on my NAS)

havent found the solution as yet.
Still screwed in the newest Jelly Bean roms... I'm wondering if it's my NAS, but then it works on my S2 and S1 and I can browse through ES File explorer fine.

Use a desktop browser like Skyfire or Dolphin HD. You can find both browsers and more in market.

Here is two screenshots from Vudu watching a trailer with Skyfire Browser. One is showing fullscreen mode and one isn't. The trailers I watched played excellent with skyfire.
Yea im able to watch trailers too, but when i play the movie it just never loads it buffers and then just stays black. but the trailers play just fine. thanks for testing that out. im sure i might need some sort of flash hack at this point.
Hi all, have you allready used allshare on new SG3? I have tried it yesterday and I could not run it. I have Synology DS211 and with SG2 it was no problem. Now i cannot connect to it. Any advices please?

There are thread about this on the Q&A sub section, follow the link on my sig please..
nobody is using dlna on SG3?
I'm a bit baffled about the AllShare element of the GS3. I was quite happy with the way it worked on the S2, but with the S3 I have to install something on my PC to access the files on it even though I have AllShare installed on it.
When I open the stock Gallery app, I'm able to see any pictures on my DLNA enabled PC. Maybe with the Video Player app you can do a similar thing? I'll check this when I get home from work...
I have DLNA sharing on Synology, where I can't instal any Samsung aplication.
Now I am solving it trhoug another player called BubbleUPnP, but I am still hoping, that this must be done through Samsung software...
Same here. The stock video player just keeps scanning when I access, my NAS. Every other app works fine.
...and the stock audio player is ok by you?

I can't get this to work either. My s iii shows up in windows media player and the computer shows up in nearby devices but in the phon's music player the "loading" notice keeps running forever.
I just tried using the video player and I found some videos, maybe the problem is that the 30+ gigs of music is jusslow to load. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Edit: Iwent back after some time and the song listed! Unfortunately they were all in one alpha list, and tapping one would;'t play it. I think this is pretty much useless without organization so I'm going to try Allshare.

I tried the GSIII Allshare but it was awfully clunky to use.

as I remeber on SG2 it was quite similar to BubbleUpnp.
Is it or does the new version of Allshare app blows in comparison to the old one (S2)?
I'm assuming I'd have to root and deodex my phone in order to copy the old one?

Agreed.. I want the old AllShare back! I tried pushing the apk, but it only starts then FCs. :crying:
Here's a couple of the bad things I've noticed:
The new one is not backwords compatible with the PC version of the Allshare app, therefore installing another web based app
Any video I stream from the phone has to buffer every 10 seconds, unlike the old one, same video, is silky smooth with no hicups
I can't browse by folders!!!!!!!!!! I have scroll through hundreds of videos!!!!!!!!
How would Twonky compare for DLNA streaming?

I pulled the Dlna.apk (allshare) from my sgs2 and it seems to work fine. Only problem is its hard to see some of the fonts for some reason. Still usable though and am attaching it here in case anyone wants to try. Just copy it to system apps. No force closes for me and yeah you need to be rooted. I felt the same about new allshare so I use the old version
Oh and the other issue is your media server will see your device as i9100 since its from that device

They must have made changes from Epic to SGS2 if the epic apk didn't work.
Also, I just realized the other day that you can go into More Settings -> Nearby devices -> File Sharing. You can also share that way. However, playing with it I am not able to stream MKV container videos to my TV. Whereas with the Allshare App I attached above works no problem. You can stream MKVs without issue. The only issue is that allshare is hard to see because of the white theme and the thumbnails look a little pixelated. Its works fine though
Yeah, I miss original Allshare too. I can't seem to find my Onkyo Receiver to ouput to.
So now we have an XBMC .apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772433
Has anyone else tried it? It works well for me. It works well with my TV via HDMI
edit
I'm running andowook with _motley's latest kernel.
I get very low volume, even if I go into sound and bump it up.
35 minutes into the movie, the app stopped for no reason.
docking and undocking seem to close the app
I haven't got green flickers yet, but I get the green flickers in openelec all the time, so thats not android specific.
For me it the audio on it is crap and sometimes the whole app flickers rapidly.
Maybe I need to reboot...

I have tried it, mainly streaming video from my Serviio server and it works like a charm. What an amazing app. And it can only get better,
Definitely reboot. About the 3rd time I fired it up after installing some add ons it began running like a charm. The first time you use it there may be a very long start and turn off period. That's ok.
The XBMC interface is running smoothly on my TP.
When i try to stream (WiFI) a X264 movie with DTS over SMB it stutters like mad.
I hope this is because of network speed. I'll try to play the same movie over USB, i hope this works better.
But overall, it's its nice to see XBMC on my Prime

Oh yeah, isn't it software decoding only? For now anyway

As far as I can tell, software only.
Installed the icefilms repo and watched full episode of Eureka. it took a restart of xbmc b4 it worked though. I am ging to try t compile this for my google tv. If it compiles i'm throwing my appletv through a window.

It is software only. I have always used it as a content streamer though, not much as a local player.
I wonder if this can and will support HDMI CEC.
I gave it ago on my Prime running the stock rom, i was quite impressed with how well it worked.
I could map my SMB network shares on my Windows Home Server perfectly and XBMC would stream anything SD fine, 720p MKV played some what ok with random frame drops / jerkiness every couple of seconds, 1080p video was very jerky and not really any watchable.
Plugins such as the BBC iPlayer worked (sometimes buggy), YouTube and Ted Talks also worked very well.
Video overview of my experience here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmttML0LNm4
Very impressed so far, a big well done and thanks to the XBMC team :good:

It does the flicker part on my TFP only if I go to the "Settings" option. Other thatn that it works.
I tested MP4, AVI and MKV formats yersterday. It lags with the MKV playback.
I am also getting alot of background flicker in xbmc. Then sometimes the screen goes black. Going to try a reboot to see if it goes away.

with stock ROM 720p mkv is not watchable on my prime. Maybe final apk from xbmc.org will solve this

I may be wrong but I believe that these versions of XBMC don't support hardware acceleration just yet. I haven't been on top of the development of this app but that tidbit was enough for me to wait for the final release.
github is here: https://github.com/xbmc/android/commits/android-rebase-8/
There are two builds AFAIK
zefie's: http://files.persona.cc/zefie/files/cell/androidapk/xbmc-unofficial/?C=M&O=D&S=&P=
and the one on miniland: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136
and no hardware acceleration.

I had the same issue... It's because somehow it doesn't work when your volume isn't at anything but 100%. If it's set to the loudest it can be, the sound works fine.
It's not dead yet. Plenty of ROM development going on in the dev section.

XBMC 12 Frodo
Has anyone tried XBMC 12 Frodo RC3 on ATP? I have a TF201. I'm a long time user of XMBC since the original Xbox, and the app looks great. I'm very happy to see this. But unfortunately, with this version, the videos lag quite a bit and I get absolutely no audio. I've tried changing the audio out options and playing music/video with no luck. I did not yet try pushing the video/music out through HDMI yet, but not really much point yet.
Anyone else trying have experience with this?
Hello guys!
After looking everywhere I can't seem to find any solution or even report of a similar issue
I have a rooted Nexus 7 on 4.2.1 and (I think it happened since the last update to 4.2.1) have a total impossibility of playing ANY media files over my local network... Whether it's a movie or even an MP3, every single one of my players tell me "sorry this video cannot be played"..
I can see the file on EF explorer (tried also with a bunch of other explorers, same problem), I can copy it onto my tablet over wifi, but impossible to play the damn file directly like I used to 2 or 3 weeks ago...
I bought a Kobo Arc for my girlfriend (on ICS) and it has no problem streaming anything instantly, even 720p 6gb movies... but when I get my Nexus 7 , nope can't do it anymore
I'm really getting lost on that issue now... I've tried tons of players (MX, BS, Dice, VLC...etc), tons of files explorers, looked through the file explorers settings...etc etc, but nothing that could get me my media streaming over wifi again...
It's not a huge issue or anything, but it's rather annoying to have to transfert every single media file on the tablet before actually being able to watch/listen to it...
If someone has a solution for this, damn, you would soooo helpful
Thanks in advance!
No chance for me? Anyone?
