DNLA works fine here! not with PS3 media server but with the stock "streaming" option in windows media player! i can even control the player from my phone!

And i can see the DLNA server from my laptop!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BackfireNL:
Here is a screenshot i took from WMP while playing from my Galaxy S!

I am running JG5 firmware with the stock rom (rooted)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wavemechanic:
my Allshare experience... sucks.

Well my system is: Netgear ReadyNas duo>wireless router>WD TVLive>HDMI to a Pana 46" plasma & Optical to surround receiver.

Allsuck can find the media server running on the ReadyNas, & can list all of the files- but can't play them, either on the phone itself or on the TV via the WDTVLive. But listing of the files/folders is incredibly fast. Plus it looks great, nice icons for folders etc. Too bad it doesn't work.

In contrast, AndroMote can play my audio files (but not video) through the TVLive (and on the phone) no problems. Not as pretty a GUI as Allshare, but at least it works.

Verdict:

Allshare gets a FAIL- doesn't like to share, doesn't play well with others.

What could be the problem, given that Andromote works?

I 'FINALLY' managed to get my DLNA link working with both my Laptop & the Samsung TV.

What I had to do is for each time it passed data to either devices I had to first STOP Wifi then restart it.

If I did not do this it AllShare would not obtain a link.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Itsme87:
I had no problem finding my phone on my PS3. But won't play smooth at. It looks like a slideshow and is therfore useless. 80mb tv series show with low resolution played noe better than 720p trailer.

Anybody else had that problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] °Dexter°:
I can't even make my galaxy see my ps3, and reverse too...

I just start allshare on galaxy and "search for media server" on ps3, but nothing shows up...what am I missing ?

Thank you

OK, I seem to be having a problem, I am trying to play moies, and or songs off my PC, on my SGS, but I keep getting, this video cannot be played, and or for music, Unsupported File Type.

nt sure what I am doing wrong, or what is wrong ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Have you tried first disabling wifi then re enable.

I've found for every separate occasion you try to access you have to reawaken the wifi.

Normally one would think sounds like an incompatible codec.

But you're talking of audio as well here...

Re the audio ~ whats the file format and bit rate?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JaGuR:
All mp3 files, they play if they are on my device, just not from my PC.

I have windows media player 11, could this be the problem.

Is there any other software I can run on my PC to make this work ?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Windows Media should support mp3 no problem.

What happens if you copy the files directly from the phone to the PC, do they play successfully on your PC?

If so you can then riule out any compatibility issues.

Have you tried refreshing the wifi before you connect to AllShare?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gadjet0:
Just for info, I have a 46" Panasonic plasma with DLNA which sees my SGS fine and plays AVI video no problem but not music (the Panny doesn't support mp3s ????)

I can also see the movies on my Synology NAS on the SGS and play the AVIs, MKVs not so much!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] °Dexter°:
thanks for answer,i've tried but no luck...both phone and ps 3 are connected with my pc modem, could this be the problem? Should I do something else besides activating allshare and ps3 search?

Any chance to port droid x dlna app to the SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] asci:
Did someone try to stream a 720p video via DLNA? I tried with my Samsung TV 8 series and it was not fluid...it stops about every 30 sec. It's impossible to watch a video that way. I thought it could be a problem related to the quality of my SD card, since the demo video "Smart life", stored in main memory, runs perfect. But I noticed that the demo video has a lower resolution. So I took a video at a lower resolution and it went fine.

So the problem must be in Froyo and 720p video playing. I also remember that with 2.1 ROM a could play 720p video via DLNA without a problem.

Is there someone with the same problem, or that want to test it?

PS sorry for cross posting, but I found this topic in a second moment...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
WMP is transcoding it so really this is not very useful. Try using other non-transcoding software and you will see our issue.

IE - you should not have to transcode Xvid or MKV files to play them on the phone. If you copy them to the phone, they play fine. AllShare is screwing them up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] °Dexter°:
Sorry for re-ask,but i made no progress here...should i do something else,besides what's written up here?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andreas_k:
I also have this problem with videos recorded by SGS. Videos 1280x720 on my Samsung LE40C550 don't have sound and also every ~30 sec. stops. I think problem is with SGS wifi, my connect with router only with 65Mbps (300Mbps router) and this's to small to send HD videos...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ztxdk:
My results with Allshare..

Hey

I just wanted to share my experience, trying to get allshare to work.

It seems that it is extremly picky about what servers is running...

I've tried:

Mac:

EyeConnect (from the Eyetv tv tuner software): Sees the folders (categories) and nothing more.

Twonky Media Server: Works perfectly! (music is mp3, aac, m4b, video is mp4/h264, divx/xvid, 3gp, vob). No transcoding needed.

PC:

Windows Media Player: Sees the files, plays music (mp3 and wma), video is a nogo (unable to play).

Wild Media Server: Sees all the files (same as above) but everything gets a unable to play (tried nearly every setting..)

TVersity: If I set the software to download a videopodcast (tried with one from twit.tv) it plays fine. All of my own media fails (video/music, again tried all settings).

Fuppes: Crashes... Can't start it.

Twonky Media Server: Again works perfectly, just as the mac.

So I stopped testing when i came to twonky...

I just want to say that I have NO connection with twonky.com. I just wanted allshare to work....

[Galaxy S I9000 General] 171blaze:
I can get it to play fine with my PS3 but only for like 45 minutes or so then I get a network error on the PS3 and I have to reboot it and the Vibrant. Then I get another 45 minutes or so and it happens again.

Anyone else have any problems like this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Martin,

Here's a question for you (or anyone else who may be able to help).

I've downloaded and installed the TwonkyServer Mobile.

Next I ran it and it picked up all my media files.

Now the help bit......

I want to see all the media on my Samsung DLNA TV so after selecting the TwonkyMedia from the device list I then selected a movie to play.

No problem here.... however, I can't find a way to select either jump to a specific part of the movie or fast forward/rewind.

How do you control video playback?

The TV Remote does not appear to allow you to do this!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theellucidone:
I have issues with this DLNA on Droid2

The Phone appears on the left in WMP but i cannot get any info off the phone..Does anyone know what i can do to fix this? I have win 7 prof. It is working on my win 7 laptop.

Here is a screen shot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
Samung DLNA software is crap and tbh will never be fixed. I was a Samsung Omnia user which included DLNA software you could see servers etc but could never ever player any content ever (do a google for Samsung omnia renderer). Many ppl complained to Samsung over the last couple of years but a solution/fix was never produced they left it to the community to work it out and sadly no fix was ever found.

It's the same now with the Galaxy ppl will complain and Samsung wont listen thei allshare software is poorly documented (if at all) and absolutly zero support.

Anways I have been playing around again this evening and this is what I can do.

From windows 7 it sees my phone in windows media player and allows me to play music and videos ok though the phone doesn't seem to be able to keep up and at times you do get some buffering issues.

Windows Vista was unable to find the phone to enable streaming.

Xbox360 Could not see the phone

In both above I just had to load Allshare not select any options for it to be "viewing"

From the phone if I goto "Play file from Server on my phone" it can see both my vista and windows 7 pcs and browse any shared items in the library. Sadly it can't stream any of it either saying unsupported video type or simple that it cannot play the video. This is bollox because if you press and hold on a video and choose download it will download find (to root of sd card) then you can browse to the file and load it with out issues. So its deffo not a file or network issues it's simply the allshare doesn't work.

From the phone I can goto "Play file from my phone on another player" and it lists my pcs and xbox 360 but all fail. My guess is that the pcs and 360 are not accepting what ever request is being sent from the phone. If I choose a file it just for ever loads and no issues, I reckon the pc would need some sort of plugin to support the allshare remote file support? Also if you click and hold on a file and choose "upload" this fails aswell further suggesting something isn't "listening" on the server or thier is some important plugin/software/listener missing.

I will keep testing and playing around I have tried things lke Twonky, PS3 Media Server and Tversity and the phone saw the ps3 media sever for a bit but non elese but still failed to stream.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fewpac:
:o Hi mate, I've got the same problem as you.

My stock 2.1 Eclaire SGS did not see the PS3 and vice versa

My now 2.2 Froyo, JPM, rooted cannot see the PS3 and vece versa

I've tried disable WIFI and enabling, but it doesnt work. I've disabled and enabled media server settings on PS3 still not work.

Does anybody have a solution? cos DLNA is such an awesome feature and its really bugginig me.. :'(

BTW I talked to Samsung Australia, and they said that PS3 devices were never officially tested for compatibility with Samsung Galaxy S... so they do not have any "solution" to an unknown error..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Ok I have managed to hook up both my pc's, my galaxy s, I pod touch and my ps 3. The ps 3 plays everything if the format is correct. From the pc I can transcode using ps3 media server. I can access ps3 media server from the phone and my I pod touch but can only play music. No videos whatever format. I can play music and videos on my galaxy s from my pc using Samsung pc share manager. You can also use a vlc app available on the market. That transcodes and serves from the pc to the phone. Any format. It also has a lot of custom settings. Still working on the entire setup. Will share further progress.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killercownz:
Mp3's and photos play to ps3 no problem, I can play some videos from wmp/Win7 but its adhoc - everything plays to/from XBMC/Allshare including 720p movies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Including mkv?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killercownz:
Sorry, I was meant to say that everything that the Galaxy supports (ie, photos/mp3 and vids recorded on the Galaxy that I have uploaded onto the media centre) can be played on Galaxy streamed from XBMC, and, everything recorded on the Galaxy can be played/streamed to XBMC.

I have streamed (from XBMC) movie rips (up to 720p) as well as converted/compressed rips (avi's and h.264 mp4's) and streamed them to the Galaxy but only to see if it worked. Wouldnt say I have definitively tested what does/doesnt work.

If MKV's dont stream from XBMC to Galaxy, then I suspect TVersity would.

Over past few months I've become a real fan of XBMC ... very capable and even a cool android remote which makes it a no brainer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thequinox:
Same here. I have tried streaming from XBMC and WinMP11 and both will allow me to browse the network, select a file, and then fail. This is highly frustrating as I thought DLNA support would finally allow me to watch my TV shows around the house on my phone. I don't see what the problem is, I can't even stream an MP3 to the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbenter:
I've had no problems with allshare. Once the phone is connected to my home wifi, it detects and plays files from the library on my windows PC via the standard Windows Media Server. My PS3 will detect the phone straight up and streams files from it effortlessly. So far I've had no issues. Thought everyone was having the same blissful experience till I saw this thread.

That said, I still have not figured out how to use it with my Macbook Pro. But since I only use my Desktop PC as a primary media server, its was never a concern. i use PS3 Media Server on both Mac and Windows for the PS3. It plays just about anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbenter:
The plus side is while playing say an mkv movie from the PC on the phone, you can scroll along the timeline without much of a drag. The buffering is next to none. I actually shot a (poor) video of this on my Blackberry, to show off to my iPhone friends. Over here iPhones still outnumber Androids. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myrlar:
Hi all,

Similar problems here. JG4 it worked great from win7 wmp to allshare. Upgraded to JPM and it all stopped working.

Going to upgrade to JPO/JPP next week. Will hopefully fix it.

For anybody interested, an app called 2player does the same thing, but only for music.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DarkRidder:
I´m having the same problem here, but with A Samsung Wave. In Allshare, I can see my laptop (wich as allshare app installed) and my router (Thomson TG784), but I cant see the NAS (FreeNAS machine). From my TV, which also has as AllShare, I can see all the devices. What am I missing?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shinew:
Hi, I tried to use Allshare today on my phone. It seems that I have no problem streaming from my mac to my phone, but when i try to stream video/photo to my mac(which is what I intend to use it for), none of the software I've tried works, as it shows "No devices" on my phone.

Anyone knows the solution for this? I've tried Twonky & Serviio. thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carapauzinho:
I've tried to configure the DLNA server in windows 7 and after following all steps it didn't work.

Only after the following i managed to play videos on my SGS / Panasonic TV.

1. Closed WMP12.

2. Go to Services [Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative Tools->Services]

3. Locate the service with name 'Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service'

4. Stop the Service manually.

5. Locate the service 'UpnP Device Host'. Stop the service and start it again.

6. Start 'Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service' now.

7. Close control panel and all associated windows. Open Windows Media Player...right click on a playlist and see if PlayTo option lists the TV. Try playing now...it started playing for me at this stage!

Hope this helps those of you having the same problem... :)

Cheers!

Strange as i don't have any issues

My Firmware is stock XEU 2.3.5

On the PS3 it needs to be enabled that you can play via media servers

Then on the phone open the allshare then pic the top option

Now then pic the video it then scans finds the ps3 then pic the ps3 then back to the PS3 open up Media and you will see the phone click and it will then start

as for TV's it will only play via a usb lead via dnla

Some smart TV's have the all share feature and you have to use that to recive then go to your phone and search it will then find your tv press select and it then plays

The allshare app is very fussey the S2 is better but the best is not even a samsung Its the Motorola Razor that just works

To play on a pc

Open windows media player make sure you have media server activated

now back to your phone press the top option pic any file

Your pc will then show up at the top pic the pc then on your play list option of media plays on the left you will see the phone pop up

you don't have to play the play list as windows media play when you pic the phone will search your phone and then any files will show up and then you can play them

This only works on Windows 7

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kinghung:
HI everyone, Today I have been trying to flash different ROMs, but the last one (hopefully not ), it stops at "Touch Pro" screen after flashing and reboot , doesnt show the right lower corner SPL info...and cant go to WM6.1 or 6.5 screen.

However, I have flashed HPL before I do flashing ROMs, so I still can go to tri-color screen , I still can connect to PC or use SD card to flash. I have tried flashing official ROM to rescue, but no luck. :(

And I found out that there is nothing in my Touch Pro, how do I know?

Actually when I use PC to flash, the tool should show my previous ROM version and current as well, but there is nothing in my previous version, I have tried couple of times (completely flash) but there is still nothing!

Any experts or users have this experience? Any idea how can I un-brick this Touch pro? Really Appreciated!

:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] da_mayhem:
When flashing via the bootloader screen, the current/previous version field would be blank, whereas flashing via normal mode (synced/connected via WMDC), it would display the current/previous version.

I would advice to execute a task29, then flash via MicroSD or PC ...search for the thread about it.

Goodluck!

EDIT: And also, post your query on the right section of the forum.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kinghung:
I am so sorry for incorrect post, and I have searched and tried task 29 method but still not working

run task 29 , go to 3color screen, flash from SD card, reboot, still the same, stuck in the "Touch Pro" screen , without the right lower corner SPL/SPL ROM info....showed, and not entering Window Mobile OS.

:(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] patrick_spd4u:
Try flashing Official Stock ROM via microSD or via bootloader. The (original) Official Stock ROM contains all tested SPL, Radio, OS, and Splash screen.

Hi, there if any of the xda developers can make an application to turn the light on the keys, because when you see a video is a bit annoying that are lit, battery-consuming as well.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Regards

Here you go(tnx to mercianary

1. install gscript lite from market and run it once, this should create a directory gscript on your sdcard

2. put memory card in pc

3. create a text file and put this command in it.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/leds/button-backlight/brightness

4. save the file as "buttonled.sh" not "buttonled.sh.txt" in sdcard/gscript

5. put the card back in your phone, hold your finger on the home screen and select shortcut, gscript lite, menu, add script, load file, buttonled.sh, save, buttonled.

6. press the new icon on your screen.

this will only work on 2.1

everytime you press this icon the button lights turn off.

they will come back on after certain events, ie locking the screen.

if you know adb you could edit the file trigger in the same directory to permanently disable the light, i think. you will have to figure that out yourself.

Download of the market LEDs hack,that does exactly what we want.

Thanks to friend velazcod for the contribution.
[Desire Android Development] mercianary:
using the following command in 2.1 turns on the blue led.

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-microp/blue/brightness

there is a very similar command, cant tell you what it is cuz i am on 2.2 at the minute, that will turn off the key lights.

just change echo 1 to echo 0 and blue to keyled or something, you have too look in the leds-microp dir to find out.

when you have the right command install gscript lite from the market and add a shortcut to the homescreen to your command.

don't think it will work in 2.2 though.

easy peasy!

edit:i know it turns of the led but i'm not sure if it keeps it off, dont remember.
[Desire Android Development] juanjitos:
but I do not want the blue LED, what I want is a small application that allows me to turn off lights or turning on the power when I want to watch a video.
