Think of how awesome this would be...
I have a 55 inch Samsung LED television. SmartTV enabled with AllShare and all that fun stuff. So here is my question...
I want to use my Epic to control my tv. And if it's not possible in the whole sense...how about just for the keyboard function. I'm trying to avoid buying a keyboard so I figure if my phone could serve that function...not only will it be so useful but sooooooo cool!!!
Basically rather than using the remote it came with to type on the Internet or chat or Facebook....I would use my phone to type. Can AllShare be used for any of this? Or does anyone know if this is possible?
I actually think I may have just found my answer in the market....
If anyone has a similar question..."samsung remote" in the market will accomplish all of these requests!!
I already use my epic to control my directv

Is this different than the app by directv? Because I have that app but I don't have an option to use it as a remote. Ill have to do some market searching.

Its on the directtv website. It allows me to control my dvr. (i can tell me dvr to record anything even if I'm not home). I can purchase movies from ppv and cineplus.

Oh...I can do that. I'm speaking more of changing channels, volume, using my keyboard in place of my remote, etc. The Samsung Remote app does this. Setting my dvr, ppv and cineplus I can do using the directv app as well.

I'm guessing you have Directv , but there is also a Verizon Fios Remote app for Android and IOS.

I actually think there is. My brother in law was telling me about an Android App he found which would do all of this. I think he heard it from someone else though, as he didn't have it all hooked up yet, but I do believe he said it was somewhere in the $20 range for the app itself.
If you could use your smartphone as a remote for all that fun stuff...that would be..well..yeah, it's coming, EPIC.
Can you ask your brother in law what is the name of that app.

I did and he mentioned something called "pocketblu" but it only works via bluetooth. Since our phones don't have infrared, they won't work on standard TVs for the most part. He did mention AllShare but didn't get into the details of it.
I know he's looked into this stuff quite a bit, but the above information was through just a few texts. The next time we're together (probably Easter weekend) I'll be sure to have a better discussion with him.
Just as the title says, which are you using? I've always been on music junk and love it when it works but the constant network errors are getting to much for me. I would love to find an equal or better replacement for music junk.

Well I wouldn't necessarily say that as both those apps can be found on the Play Market & no links were posted to "illegally" acquired/ing content.

Yall r asking to get this thread closed by suggesting pirate apps lol. Cuz u know someone will be dumb enough to post a link sooner or later. But in reference to the OP i use doods music streamer which syncs with my grooveshshark acct. It lets me download "offline" music so i dont have to be connected to a network to listen but the files are proprietary to the app itself so i cant transfer to a cd or make copies which would make it illegal. Has built in eq and playlist support.

I think you have to use AllShare Cast to watch it on your TV. You'll have to buy the dongle.

Watch it using mxplayer and hdmi adapter. It is stored in a hidden folder in internal storage. Move it to a folder that is not hidden.

I moved it to my extSdCard and tried to use All Share Play over wifi, but since its a DRM enabled .pyv file it didnt work.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the movie!!! I tried everything to get it to play wirelessly on my tv but it would not work.

Can it be played through a Xbox or PS3?
Been trying to figure out too without buying the dongle. So even using wifi direct wont work?

I don't know anything about how any of this technology works, but that seems unnecessarily restrictive to me. As long as it can only physically play on the phone why should they care if you can stream it?
You, sir, are waaaaaaay too logical for your own good.
Where exactly is the movie file stored after you download it from media hub

All this drm crap is making this way too difficult. If the Avengers movie is being offered to me for free, why can't I be able to view it on my "smart" tv wirelessly.

Discovered a feature this weekend, but I'm not sure how it's actually working and was hoping someone could tell me what I did!
I'm on stock rooted GA10, using the Samsung Music Player. When I launch the app on my home network and I've got Windows Media Player open on my desktop, the app will show a PC symbol in the top left (see screenshot). Clicking on that pushes what I'm playing in the app to my PC, and thus out my stereo (win!)
I've set up WMP in the past to stream music from my PC (to my Xbox), but I have no idea what I would have changed to allow me to push media to it. Anyone know what service/protocol this would be using so I can get more info on it? Thank you!

If your just sitting at the dashboard, start playing music on your phone and that computer icon will show up again and all you have to do is push it, the xbox does the rest!

Long story short, tonight I ended up doing a stock EL29 oc --> GB08 oc, and I just retested. Working fine here!
On my xbox it only worked when I was at the dashboard, not sure if you're trying it mid-game or not.

I can't remember the name of the app, but there is a program that allows 2 mobile devices (tablets and/or smartphones) to connect this way. The app for the host device is a paid app but each addon device utilizes a free controller app. In this instance, your HTC would use the paid host app to be used with a stereo, TV, computer, etc and your s3 (and any other phones/tablets) would use the free remote control app. I'll see if I can find it again
