[Q] Streaming Video from Nas router to Tab. - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have a router that has a usb port with which I have a External usb2 hard drive.
The router has NAS capability and I can stream video to my TV/PS3.
I can use the all share app on the tab and watch video but it wont allow me to fast forward/rewind or start the video in another place apart from the beginning.
I just wondered if anyone could recommend an app for the tab which allows fast forwarding etc.
Many thanks.

Have you tried skifta?

I use Vplayer.

[Q] netflix - phone to tv question

i just set up a netflix account. i'm wondering how i can get movies on my phone and have them play on my tv? is this possible??? i plug it into the usb port on my tv and it doesn't show up. tried it into my bluray player also, still didn't show. switched the usb to disk mode, still nothing. any help would be great. thanks!
nevermind, just realized the usb isn't actually any kind of video output so its not possible unless i have a wifi gaming console or something. close thread if need be... thanks.
check the applications on your blu-ray player, it's possible that the unit itself can access your neftlix instant queue
As ricky states some blu-ray players have in there menu netflix installed. If the blu-ray player has built in wifi adapter connect to your wireless router and you are ready to go. If the player is wifi ready but no adapter you can get ethernet wireless adapter and use your PC to configure to connect to your router. Then plug into USB port on blu-ray player and you can stream Netflix with the player menu by selecting Netflix. Most of the newer blu-ray players have this capability.

Video out through WIFI, possible?

Hi, was wondering if its possible to stream what appears on the device's screen to a tv through wifi. I mean the same way you can use a MHL video cable. I got a dlna tv and I can stream video and music, but I would like to stream what appears on the screen cause I would like to use my workout app through tv's screen instead of sgs2's screen.

I think there is a Samsung app for some Samsung TVs.
Unfortunately, I do not know a dlna streaming app which will connect the SGS2 to any dnla tv via wifi.
If you find a solution, let me know (via PM).
You should have a pre-installed app called AllShare on your phone that lets you stream to any compatable device from your phone using wifi.But must be compatable obviously.

Streaming Live TV

My Desktop PC has a TV car in it and I record and watch shows through it, at the moment I can stream the recorded TV shows and other videos to my Nexus 10 using ES File Explorer.
However I am curious to find out if there is a way of streaming the live TV as it plays on my Desktop PC, over the wi-fi to my Nexus 10?
I know VLC player has some streaming capabilities with TV cards.. don't know how effective this will be?
Is their an easier way, other programs designed for this?
I do use TV Catchup app on my tablet to watch live TV sometimes but I would like a solution that is just utilizing the wi-fi and not the internet connection!
Cheers.

I would think a media extender app would be more useful. Like the how the xbox 360 app works. That would take care of the storage issue and the copy protection. Anyone know of one or a reason that wouldn't work?
1. Remote Media Center App + Remote Potato: Have not tried it and it may not be compatible with jellybean 4.2 according to the reviews.

2. XBMC will connect to hdhomerun tuners but you will need to provide a file with a list of channels for your particular cable provider.

Xbmc can connect to various backend tv servers (android app are still beta), like mediaportal tv server, and you don't need any additional files provided that you setup tv server right. Other option are using mediaportal and ampdroid app, but you have to setup mediaextender program in addition, on pc.

Cast MKV with subtitles and DVD files from network share

Hi guys,
Previously I'd all my videos on my Macbook and I was using Videostream to cast everything to my Chromecast (with the Videostream app on my Android phone as remote), that was working fine but didn't work with DVD files and my Macbook had to be on when I'd like to watch something.
Yesterday I came across a old 400GB SATA harddisk of mine so I thought: what if I connect that drive to my TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND router which does have a USB port and build-in network share and dnla/upnp support. So I've connected everything with a cheap sata/usb adapter from Ebay, connected the network share to my Macbook and PC and copied some videos to it.
I can't run any applications on my router like Videostream or Plex so I need a app on my Android phone which can stream from my network share to my Chromecast. I've searched around and tried Allcast and Localcast:
- Allcast, I can't find a way to access the network share.
- Localcast, works great through samba and dnla/upnp! But... I can't get subtitles working which are builtin my mkv video files. I didn't try dvd files yet.
Also I'm looking for a functionality which can keep track on what movies I've watched.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
try airflow app
Airflow is only for music...
Don't tested with Chromecast, but Bubbleupnp is a nice streaming app. Give it a try.

Samsung DLNA

Hi. At the beginning I have to admit that I am from Slovakia and I help myself with google translators. I have a problem with DLNA I have a Samsung UE43RU7472UXXH with OS Tizen, TP Link Archer C2 AC750 and HDD WD Blue 500GB. I share movies from the HDD via wifi and receive them on 2 TVs (not at the same time). Philips TV (Saphi OS) plays without problems, but the movie cannot be played on Samsung TV. The movie is played from the HDD, but not via DLNA. I tried firmware update, factory settings, reset, disconnection from the electrical network, so I narrowed it down to a problem with the TV. Does anyone have a similar experience with Samsung TV? Well thank you.
Did you have any success with your router's DLNA and connecting to your Samsung TV? Have you tried this router (or another) as a Samba (SMB) server?
Not. I turned off DLNA and I'm using an external drive via USB. Without a NAS, it's useless.
