Hey guys
I was wondering if there is an app or some other way of accessing the movies etc on my PC at home when I'm not there using my tab? Say I'm at work using the wifi there is there some way of connecting to my shared folder on my home PC and streaming through the internet back to my galaxy tab?
All help greatly appreciated to relieve my boring breaks with a TV episode
Cheers

Team viewer worked great on my nook color for controlling my PC from anywhere. Just had to set it up on both the PC and nook. Easy and free in the market.
Never tried it on the tab though.

It gave me total control of my PC.... Showed my screen almost like remote desktop. Freaked the kids out when I took control of the mouse from anywhere. lol
Edit: Just noticed you wanted to stream some TV shows. Don't know if that would be clunky or not.

Not sure if it would depend on the connection speed or more the capabilities of the app itself. I shall give it a try tonight. Much appreciated mate and looking forward to freaking out the wife haha

The only problem is using Teamviewer you would need to set a prefixed password and username on it as it generates random per session so would be best. Also it needs to be on, closing teamviewer on your PC means you cut off the communication. Also it doesn't require a high end internet as teamviewer by default drops the quality and turns off wallpaper's and such per connection to enhance speed to navigate vs graphics.

That's fine my PC is on 24/7 anyway so that wouldn't be a problem.. if it sacrifices graphics for speed do you think maybe its not gonna be suitable for what I need it for?

Think you can set a password to use all the time in options, but it's been awhile since using. So could be wrong, but never remember having a random password. But yes I do remember having to have the PC on, but believe I could still wake it.
Again, I've not used my nook color for some time with this. So give an old man a break if I'm wrong.

i use splashtop which basically works like windows remote desktop - you can see and interact with your home pc like you were in front of it - great for playing back videos as well

Server runs on Linux, Mac or PC. I have a Linux server running so I can't tell you how good the Windows port is.
I have never used it for an outward facing connection though it is designed to work that way. I have it running on my old Dinc, Kindle Fire and the G-Tab. Video streaming works very well.

In my opinon it is all about the bandwidth. Some (HD) Movies need up to several megabit per second...
A solution is to use a VPN connection to the home network and a UPnP-AV server/client.
I use Twonky and BubbleUPnP, but only in my LAN. With a VPN and sufficient bandwith on the connection this would do the job over the internet, too.

With a little planning you could upload the video files that you want to be able to access to Dropbox, Minus or whatever Google offers that is similar. Then all you would have to do is access the files from your tab. If you have enough bandwidth for video, it should work great.
Check it out and let us know if my idea works for your needs.

Never thought about cloud.. like u say though forward planning would be needed and I'd have to upload everything that I'd want to watch each time before I go anywhere. Nice idea though

I have had cerberus installed on my PC for a long time, it allows you to use your PC as an FTP server.
This way you can have access to your chosen files anywhere with the internet. On your mobile most file explorers have a FTP option to move files to or from the PC.
Its handy to have access to all your music, or maybe use it the other way to backup your photos ect when away from home for a extended period.
you could also stream over FTP if your file explorer allows you to map the FTP server as a local drive

Did it work?
Allshare Play can only be used for gallery photo's/videos. You will need to use Allshare Cast (if you want to wireless share your screen), which at time of the original annoucement was supposed to work with most Samsung SmartTVs without an additional dongle and with other TVs with the additional dongle - however it now seems that you need to buy an additional dongle regardless.
If you do not mind using a cable to connect to the TV then you'll need an MHL cable that is compatible with the SIII.
i went to shop today and from.settings of s3 i turned on all share, it kept on searching but the samsung smart tv es7500 didn,t give any response, but when i tried to share a pic from gallery through Wi-Fi direct, it worked

You need AllShare Cast box. Can be connected to TV or PC. Your phone screen will be transferred to other device

I don't want to play recorded or downloaded videos on my s3 , I want to use s3 screen as a TV screen to play Xbox games on.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Not possible to my knowledge, MHL and allshare on the S3 all works outward not inward.
Something like iMedia Share should work halfway what you whish for. But for the things you want, you first have to stream sth. from your TV to your Android device. But when your TV is busted there won't be a way to do so, at least not through micro USB.

Has anyone managed to get screen mirroring to work on s3 using the measy a2w dongle and ezcast app.
I can send videos and music frim device but whenever I try screen mirroring it crashes. On s3 it says something about missing hardware ???

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I haven't used the measy dongle, but have had screen mirroring working from my s3 to a dongle called 'Wifi EZCast' (which is probably very similar if not identical hardware) with the EZCast app. It works with my Galaxy Note 8 as well.
You must use Triangle Away to reset the count and don't use a custom kernel or recovery.
Another option is to use a modified/hacked lib.
Have look on this thread and use the lib attached.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421642&page=4
Follow the instructions to replace the file, set permissions and reboot.
Screencast it's working for me and I have a custom kernel and recovery.
Good luck.
