Hi guys
This may be a dumb question, but how can I watch streamed video from another network device ( PC, NAS, ...) in my XS? Is there an app that connects to these servers?

Apologies if this is a stupid question...
When I record a video on my phone, I'd like to be able to stream the clip on to my television through AllShare. Sadly, my television won't play the files. Neither will my 360.
Is it simply that neither will recognise the file format? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
I don't think the 360 supports the playback of recorded videos. I couldn't get mine to work when I tried.
It seemed to be pushing a 3gpp video instead of the mp4 when I did it. Maybe the fact that it was 1080p didn't help either.
Must give it another go at some point.

You can stream via allshare to the xbox, but the xbox has to be in media center mode.

I couldn't find a way playing movies from galaxy onto xbox360, how do i change the xbox to be in a media center mode?
thank you in advance

No problem with ps3. Download iMediaShare for Free from the market. Stream all you want to with that.

Is there a HDMI output on the Sony S1?
Getting one soon. And i want to connect it to my Bravia Tv.

That would be a simple 'no' my friend. Unfortunately, there is no hdmi. The only ports on this tablet are a full sd card slot, and a mini usb. Hopefully, Sony plans on releasing a dock or something? But for now. No hdmi.

You can link it using DLNA or Remote Control
Both easy to set up
DLNA works for listening or watching movies on your TV, kind of similar to HDMI but wirelessly

use DLNA
i'm pritty sure that Bravia TVs support it
Yes dlna is great, but cannot compare AT ALL to a direct video hook up. Plus, you would need a dlna server ( computer) to stream your content. An hdmi would only require the tablet to view anything that's stored on it. Dlna doesn't stream content from the files located on the tab itself. Its completely different than what the op is curious about.

I suppose the microUSB port could also be an MHL>HDMI port. Can't find it mentioned in the specs anywhere though. My HTC Flyer's port is MHL, and essentially doubles as HDMI-out if you need it.
I've got an LG Smart TV above my home PC, and DLNA allows any of my tablets using the right app to send video/movies directly to it over WiFi. Not the same as mirroring the whole UI on the TV which you do usually get if a tablet has any form of HDMI-output.

Ok. You're right about that. However, not all dlna-certified devices support the same file formats. Like my bravia will play any picture or sound, but it will not play any videos from android. A samsung will because it has integrated support. So, an hdmi cable will 'obviously' play anything connected to it because it's a direct stream. Also, dlna is best used with a dmc server. Than it would allow any/most formats.

yea, without HDMI out my tablet s seems to tie down... i have no wifi on my samsung TV n DLNA doesnt work with my ps3. even the DLNA works with a DLNA cert. TV but i dont think they will support playing .mkv and .rmvb files...
Tablet S seriously need a HDMI port...
looking at my dad's toshiba thrive, he can watch all video format and even browse the web on my samsung TV with a single HDMI cable... how sad...

You have to be connected to the same network. Have you checked that?
If you are connected, then try to go music player, long press any song and options will appear, choose "throw", it'll search for device and should find your blu-ray player or TV

Still no luck same network tried it in music player any other ideas

Does your google Tv support DLNA?
And which brand is your Blu-Ray or model?
I know silly question but it usually detects the devices immediately

I have the same problem:
the tablet keeps telling that no player has been found when trying to throw songs or pictures to my bravia kdl-40cx520 (ethernet connected). Does the tv need the wifi dongle to be scanned by the tablet? or dlna is independent and a complete different thing?
Thanks for your help
I bought a NSA (Zyxel NSA310) and works fine with Windows etc, but how would I go about mounting the NSA drive using Android,
-NOTE- I will not root the device
Was wondering if someone can provide me a detailed guide or something, thanks.

Don't know how to mount it, but you can use an FTP client for the files and a DLNA player for the media streaming
What would be the best ftp client and streaming would I need the ip or can it find the drive on the network
Sent from my GT-I9300
all comes down to preference. need an ip for the ftp, and it will find the dlna server automatically
Using mediahouse works a treat thanks man
