AllShare Dongle Alternative, BD-E5300 Blue Ray Player

Just wanted to double check that Samsung's BD-E5300 Blue Ray player would be an alternative to the dongle that was released specifically for the Galaxy S III. They both have "AllShare" features. Please let me know. Thanks.

yep i use xbox and that works fine

Allshare(Play) and Allshare Cast are 2 different things.
Allshare Cast dongle is for device mirroring.
Allshare (Play) is only for playing movies, pics and songs on your TV you don't need a dongle for it just connect your tv to the same network.
It says Allshare feature with the BD player.

Latest and greatest Mirror app to mirror from android/s3 to Apple tv???

Ok im looking for a app that will allow specifically mirroring anything on an android homescreen to my hdtv "thru Apple tv"
The catch is if u use an apple device with apple tv it actually truly mirrors what you see to the tv My goal is to steam my streaming vidoes from my browser and bookmarked sites from my s3 to my tv thru apple tv
This Isharemedia only lets u pick channels and vid picture folders this is not like real mirroring.
What other options are there without having to go buy samsungs version of the apple tv

Update: since no one gave a response , I forked over the money for a Samsung all share hub and noe my Apple tv which could of been used I'm sure with an app is now useless .
If anyone knows a way to get true mirroring from s3 to HDTV using Apple TV as a middle man let me know

I don't know of an app. But knowing Apple, that mirroring will only work with Apple devices. Because it's Apple and that's how they do things.
I had to jailbreak mine just so I didn't need to use iTunes to use the device. There were other benefits as well, like playing mkv files.

Not totally true theres a few apps in android market like imediashare that allow function from android to hd tv using apple tv as the server but its just channels to pick from not really a true mirroring, but as I clearly explained I was looking for more of a straight forward mirroring effect like apple tv airplay does for apple and how allshare cast hub mirrors for Samsung
My thoughts were what app or options are there for the two variants to work with eachother for mirroring Android device going through AN APPLE TV to get to your hdtv

I didnt try the app, but it looks cool.

screen mirroring and video streaming to HDTV?

I am looking to find a good device that's compatible with my 10.1 2014 edition Note, and will stream video, along with screen mirroring if possible, all to my HDTV. I have a 32" Samsung smart TV that does this flawlessly but I want to also be able to do this with my 42" Panasonic Plasma TV (It has USB ports but does not appear to have DLNA or any method of streaming video since it does not have wifi built in.) I know there's the Samsung brand Allshare device, but I've heard quite a bit of negative feedback about it. Ultimately I want something that will be reliable, and will also stream 1080p video. I saw that there are various Miracast devices, but many that I have seen do not have especially great reviews. I saw that the Roku devices can send video to an HDTV but it seems that they only do this with select Android devices, and I wasn't able to find a list of compatible devices on the Roku.com website. Lastly I was also thinking that I could possibly stream video to my Panasonic TV if I got a wifi USB stick, but I'm not sure if this would allow DLNA/video streaming. Any help with finding a device for my tablet that would allow me to stream video to my TV would be most appreciated.

I've the AllShare Cast Hub and if work well with Note 10.1.
Better than using S3 or S4. With them I've a lot of random disconnections.
Unfortunately AllShare Cast Hub stream only at 720p ancd not at 1080p. On the box I can read 1080p, but I've NEVER got this kind of connection with S3, S4 or Note 10.1.

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely consider the Allshare box, although I may just go with a hard wired MHL2 connection since I really want to get 1080p.

Just found this IOGEAR box that isn't released till 12/20/2013, yet it looks like it may be exactly what I'm looking for! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815290053
Guess I'll have to wait till its released to see how it performs, and if it works well with my tablet.

It's not screen mirroring, but have you checked out Google Chromecast? I don't have one, but it looks promising and may be the simplest and cheapest solution for what you're looking for.

Do you have a Samsung smart tv? I have a 6500 and my s4 and this note 10.1 2014 screen mirrors fine in 1080. It may be the TV you have? If you don't have a Samsung smart TV the the All share hub is likely what you're looking at to achieve your goal.

I tried the Chromecast and wasn't satisfied. On lifejacket there's a good article about the pros and con's http://lifehacker.com/google-chromecast-does-it-deserve-a-place-in-your-livi-945082974
I think a Roku will be a good solution for many people, but if you take time to read about all the miracast products you may find a really good and inexpensive way to do it.

I'm using this little guy: NetGear Push2TV
got mine at Amazon - can't provide the link since I'm too new here.
Works pretty well on any WiDi enabled device: tablet, phone, laptop, etc.

I got the Netgear Push2tv, had it for a few days and returned it. Even with the latest firmware it frequently disconnected. I just got that iOgear box I linked above and it works flawlessly, all in 1080p.

I have been looking for a way to connect my note to my TV. My TV is 4 years old and not smart lol. So this IOGear box just streams files? or does it mirror the tablet on the tv? I use VLC player on my note. Is the playback sluggish or fast enough to watch large files?

I have an older plasma Panasonic that is somewhat "smart" but doesn't have built in wifi. The ioGear will work with just about any tv but I definitely needs an hdmi input, and I believe a usb input. Streaming runs beautifully even when running 1080p video files that are over 2 GB. I use MX player (the free version.)

Does this support full screen sharing of just transmission of movies and pictures like all share. Could I for example share BBC iplayer or a video running inside the Firefox browser?

For screen mirroring ? (without using hdmi cable)
can you please write what you setup ?

I use my ps3 and I know Xbox works as well. Install skifta and you can move all your media files to you movie folder and it works perfect for what I use it for. Which is watching torrent movies in 1080p on my 60inch TV

I recently stopped using skifta cause of that. Just turn on near by devices under settings/connections and then go to video on your ps3 and learn in media servers

I've read Miracast works if your components are compatible (wifi).
"Thanks to AllShare you can also mirror your mobile device screen to the bigger HDTV via Wi-Fi Direct and the widely supported Miracast protocol - that would even allow you to play mobile games on the biggest screen in your living room. You don't need to have a Samsung TV for that to work, but it needs to have Wi-Fi connectivity and support Miracast." http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_pro_8_4-review-1042p10.php

Are there any apps that let me stream from my tab 3 10.1 to my xbox via a third party

I have a Samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1. There is no screen cast software or screen mirroring built in. Does any one know of any way i can share my screen through my xbox 360 or ps3. I like to stream films, and i cannot find an app to link them up and still have the video streaming. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all

There is no app that would let you stream your screen to an Xbox or ps3

If you want to stream films I beleive Plex with a (paid) plex pass will let your stream movies from your Tab to an xbox. I stream from my tab to my computer and TV. I quick searched and saw there is a Plex for XBOX 360 and One.

Ok. Thanks a lot guys. How rubbish is that though. It seems they have taken steps backwards with the tabs. I seen that plex, and seen you had to pay. Might as well get a usb to hdmi cable. Ahh well. Back to the drawing board. Thanks aagain

I'm on the tab 3.0 and I use Allcast with Xbox One but I'm not sure about the 360. Just pointing out the app I use if you would like to see if the 360 has support. Good luck
