Video won't play over allshare, dlna, wi-fi direct, zumocast, etc.. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When using any of these apps i can get music and photos to stream from my PC and laptop but the videos won't play. It always say "video can't be played". My sd card has vids from the Bionic i upgraded from, the vids are on the card and on my laptop. They will play from the sd card but won't play when i try to stream them using the allshare, anyone else have/had this problem?

[Q] no audio during movies

I don't have a problem when I use the camcorder and playback movies, but I had a couple of dvds ripped to my PC. I just copied and pasted one to the external sd card just to see how it would play. When I try to play the file, the video is perfect, but the audio doesn't play. Also, when I try to play a video taken with our digital camcorder, it seems like its playing, but no audio/video is heard/seen. Am I supposed to convert these video files before I transfer them for playback on this phone?

[Q] Playing movies from Amaze to PS3

How do I play movies, without the MHL adapter, from my Amaze to my ps3? Thanks in advance! I tried using the "Connected Media" app that came with the phone but it scans and never finds my PS3.
You have to have the videos in .MP4 format. Make a folder on your memory card or internal storage. Call it PS3. Within the PS3 Folder, make another folder called Videos. Put the videos in there.
so it'll be like
Memory card/Internal Storage -> PS3 -> Videos
Use the imediashare app thru wifi works great for YouTube and videos on your phone and format doesn't matter most videos play. The only thing I can't figure out is how to play the market movies or rentals I really want to figure out a way because the prices are less for rentals then ps3 store or the Xbox live store.

[Q] Trouble watching movie on my Xperia S through shared drive

Hi all,
As titled, I am having issue when watching movie through my shared computer. Basically, I have shared my external hard disc through my PC on my local network and I am able to see and watch them using ES File Explorer when connected through wifi. Everything works fine...... for the few minutes, then movie would freeze and I would have to exit movie player (MX player) wait for 10s and resume it. These ain't HD movies I am watching... just some DVDrip or TV shows (e.g. South Park etc)
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Media Streaming Question.

Ok here is the problem I am having. Im using my PC in my office as a media server. I am able to connect with my DNA and pull up all my videos with ease. Thing is not all my videos are in .mp4 format majority are in .avi. I am able to see the thumbnails of the videos but when I play them it says cannot be played. So on the side there is an option where you can search for wifi players. Tried that and even though I have video apps like mobo, vlc, and mx video installed. HTC doesn't recognize these options as wifi players. So should I convert these movies to .mp4? Im trying not to because most are HD movies over a gig each.

Clear the defaults for your stock video player and tap on the movie you want while using a file explorer then pick what player you want. The player option is for you to stream from your phone to a device that can hande the format, not an app on your phone.

What is the best app to stream movies from PC to Android?

Can anyone recommend an app to stream content from my PC to my S4? Really interested in movies since I have google music for my music. So I'm just looking for a good app to stream movies and videos that I have on my laptop, to my S4 over wifi and 4G. Thanks

How to try this :
copy your movies file into your S4 and install MX Player Pro, and start play your movie with MX Player Pro.
mx player pro support many video format
I like VLC Stream & Convert. It works great over home/wifi network & 4G if you have a VPN set up on your network. This app, once setup properly gave me the least problems & was the most consistent.
