Hi guys,
Im using the default video player for my vids. There are some videos(Taken on iPhone 4S) which i have stored in my SGS3. They play fine on the device but when i try to stream them to my TV using all share cast i get an error message on my TV(Samsung) saying Codec not available.
Anyone know of all apps I can use to share videos on my TV?
Thanks
I didn't think the AllShare Cast was not available yet.
Ive got a samsung UA46D5000 Led smart Tv. Its got a built in wifi so i don't need the all share dongle. I can stream it directly from my SGS3 to the TV.

It’s my understanding that Allshare Cast is not available yet. When it is available there’ll be another option under Settings/Wireless and networks/More settings.
If you want to stream video to your TV then use Settings/Wireless and networks/Nearby devices, this turns the S3 into a DLNA server allowing you to share your media files with your Smart TV.

Hi,
I can stream just fine. The issue is that some formats dont play on the tv. It just says codec not found whereas they play fine on the device itself. Shouldnt it be able to stream any format that can be played on the device?

It depends on the TV, the TV needs to have the appropriate codec to play it. They’ve got better over time and my D7000 plays more or less any format I throw at it. I can only assume that your D5000 doesn’t have the required codec. The only alternative would be to transcode the video into one that is supported by your TV.

First of all streaming videos to your tv via dlna has nothing to do with all share cast, which means your device's screen will be entirely mirrored on your dlna capable tv (not necessarily samsung), using a certified dongle.
Second, the error message you get is due to the fact that your tv does not have the appropriate codec to play your file (the tv's media player is used for the playback). The exact same error message you will get if you try to play the same file with your tv via a usb flash drive or external hdd using the tv's buit in media player.

Thanks for the info. But what is weird is that the videos shot by
s3 are also giving this error. Shouldn't Samsung devices be compatible with each other that way?

The irony is that if Allshare Cast were available now, codec compatibility wouldn’t be a problem, the latest Samsung SmartTV's will just mirror anything the S3 can display without a dongle, and the same with the dongle but the TV only needs an HDMI port, it doesn’t need to be DLNA capable.

It would be a bit much to expect a TV made some years ago to be fully compatible with devices made today. Video compression and new codecs are being developed and improved all the time. Having said that it may be worth checking the Samsung support site to make sure you have the latest firmware for your TV.

I must admit, your post frightened me a bit and the first thing I did was to make a short 1080p movie with my SGSIII and stream it to my Samsung LE32C650 tv. Well now I'm ok, since it worked just fine, so you definitely must check to see if you have the latest firmware for your tv. The easiest way to do that is directly from your tv's menu, under Support - Software Upgrade - By Online. Hope this helps.
Thanks for all the info guys.
Well, I just got prompted to update for the dongle software so why don't you give it a try to see if it works with the smart tv, without the actual dongle. I will order the dongle next week, as it sounds much better than the wired microusb to hdmi adapter.

I tried to send a video I recorded on my S3 to my Samsung UE40D6575 LED Smart-TV. It came up on the tv-screen if I wanted to play the material from I9300, though I was stupid enough to press cancel because my kida wanted to watch television. Now I can't seem to get this to function again. I have deleted the I9300 from the tvs "NO"-list (???), so that shouldn't be a problem.
Does anyone know what I mean, and what can I do about it (if anything)?
Thanks for answering!
I guess restart both the tv and the sgs3
Or go to your wifi and press Forget so it forgets the network and then reconnect.
Both the tv and phone have been restarted several times with no luck
Try reseting your TV.

Is there any info about what Samsung consider 'latest SmartTV'?
Will C series be able to accept Allshare Cast?
Currently on my UE46C8000 I have (under Allshare setup menu) options for 'ScreenShare' (where TV auto-recognized and allowed my 'GT-I9300'. But is ScreenShare same as AllshareCast?
Also, is AllshareCast app already available for S3 (but just not working), or it will be available later on? Since I cant find it on phone, nor on any app store.

I haven’t found any official info on which TV’s will be supported. So this is pure speculation but I’m guessing that it will support the same TV’s that Samsung Smart View on Play supports, which still isn’t available for the S3 yet.

Nexus Q and HTC Media link should work. I am not sure if they are exact mirrors like the dongle but it should be.
Nexus Q can't do screen mirroring. The HTC Medialink isn't compatible with the Galaxy S3 due to proprietary software.
You're stuck with the $99 allshare cast dongle. I'd wait though since a lot of screen mirroring solutions are going to be made available and most likely cheap by the end of 2012. The WiFi Alliance is working on something called Miracast which is essentially android screen mirroring.

Apparently someone said the HTC media link works with the GS3. There was a thread on it.
You could buy a Samsung DVD or bluray player that has the allshare capability.

..different things, all share DLNA ( share movies from PC, phone to TV ) is different to All share cast ( where the phone is replicated on TV )
Need this!
So Im a school teacher and bought a GSIII for this accessory. Why isnt it available and does anyone know when it will be available? Im trying to do research now to see if I can get the HTC one to work with my GSIII, also I have a Nexus7 I would like to figure out how to make that work as well.
due to the overpricing of this thing (it'll be about 110 USD in sweden) I decided to pre-order an Ouya instead as it basically gives me the features I wanted an allshare dongle for but at the same price. But for those $100 I get a standalone tegra 3 device instead, basically a htc one x without a screen. It wont be out until march but the money value here is worth the wait.
Hello, anyone know if it´s possible to emulate the allshare cast dongle with a PC ??
i mean, that piece of hardware must use some software that can be inatalles as a program in a notebook and then the notebook connected to the TV.
Could this be done?
PD: chrome cast doesn´t mirror the games for example and samsung dongle yes

With all the new apps and wireless technologies out there now, is there a way to get the same cast functionality going through an XBOX connected TV with your phone?
I have a Samsung Note 3 and XBOX 360 and want to mirror my phones screen and control some apps like you can with the Chromecast, mainly a web browser on the XBOX.
Thank you for any help!!

I installed Mirror OP sender and Mirror Op receiver on my notebook and cell phone and then connected the notebook with HDMI to my TV. I have mirror now, but it has too much lag.
If someone make some retroengineering on an all share cast dongle i think we can emulate it, the notebook or pc connected to the tv has to have enough power to copy the software functions of that dongle!! . Soemone must know more about this.

I would be surprised if not nearly any laptop out there got more power than the small dongle device?
In addition I think the lag (most recognizable in games) might come from the wireless transmission maybe?

I asked the Samsung chat support for this youtube video : watch?v=FX3y7O_TOew
they told me that feature was only available for rooted concept devices, so... we can see that they do the same as Chrome Cast dongle but without buying any dongle. ...
this so called "WEB PAGE SHARE" function doesnt appear on new note 2, s4, s3 or note 3, maybe someone can make a rom or something to make this work ??? its also showed in this video:

Hi all.
I don't know why this seems to be such a difficult thing to do but I can't seem to get a straight answer.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, my wife has a Sensation XE and we both will soon have Nexus 7 and/or Nexus 10 - possibly. What I want to achieve is a way to send video content including things like netflix from our devices to our TV wirelessly.
I don't want to have seperate receivers etc for each device but I am happy for a software solution if a hardware one is not available.
Thanks
im not sure about netflix and stuff because i don't use it, but when you have any videos theres a button on the top with like a small tv and 3 lines or so all together like a little symbol, your tv provided its a samsung, should be connected on the same wifi as your phone and all you have to do is clack that button and it should work.
As for youtube which is what i sometimes use, i just pair it with the TV and it connects straight away.. really simple
This looks similar to what your after .

yes allshare cast works on older tv which are not smart tv.
if your samsung tv is new it would be dlna or smart tv so you wont need that allshare cast

Sorry, what I meant was, does allshare cast work with non-samsung phones/tablets (see OP).
I don't have a samsung TV nor can I afford one.
Well, it's a hardware solution, and right now is a lil bit on the pricey side. Gigabyte skyvision ws100.
The advantage, you can use it with whatever devices with hdmi i/o capability. It seems it pretty much works flawlessly and without lag, if I had came across it couple of months before I might have bought one instead a 30m+ HDMI cable than runs from my PC to the TV in the living room. If I had, now I could easily switch between PC (gaming), laptop (movie watching), and now phones (occasional viewing of photos and stuff). And, I could use it to stream av to the projector in our bedroom.... might still consider this Christmas.
Best regards.
The device is called Allshare cast dongle. It works with any TV with HDMI port. Plugs in to the hdmi port and you connects your to galaxy device over "wifi direct" (you dont need a wifi network for this to work). Its not sold in North America (thanks to apple) but is widely available on amazon and ebay for under $100.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I shall investigate. The problem with cables however is that the devices have different HDMI outputs (if at all) hence wanting wireless solution.

Hey guys. I am wondering what is the purpose of the Allshare cast dongle? Would I need it still if I have a samsung smart tv (UN55ES8000 series)?
I can use my note 2 as a remote control via the app Allshare control. I can view my gallery images into the tv via Allshare Play. However, if I go to settings -> More settings -> Allshare Cast, it tells me that there are no devices nearby.... Isn't allshare built into the tv? Or is allshare cast something totally different?

AllShare Cast Dongle is to wirelessly mirror your phone screen to TV like Airplay, iPad/iphone to Apple TV.
Allshare Cast "mirroring" won't work with Smart TVs without the dongle. and if you want to mirror you can buy the MHL adapter or if you want to mirror wirelessly then you need the Allshare Cast Dongle which costs $99.

i didn't buy the Allshare cast Dongle coz i think $99 is expensive for a device that only Mirror wirelessly and nothing else so i don't know if it lags when watching HD videos but if you only want to play HD movie you can do that using DLNA since you have Samsung Smart TV. I have a Sony Smart Tv and watching HD movie wirelessly using DLNA works perfectly without any Lag.
I bought the allshare cast dongle and it's awesome. It's easy to stop and use plus no lag. I was bored out of my mind at my in laws but this dongle saved the day. I connected it to their tv, watched a few movies I had downloaded and voila, no longer bored plus I saved the day w some entertainment.

Bangsters, try playing a movie and allshare it from your phone. I have a 6050 series dumb tv with a smart sammy bd player. I can download 720p tv shows on my phone and allshare them to the bd player from the stock video app. It looks just like I had my laptop hooked to my receiver with hdmi and stays in sync. I was VERY surprised.

thanks for the advice guys. Unfortunately, what I wanted to accomplish is impossibe with the Allshare Play app. What I wanted to do was get rid of my appletv and start collecting all my digital movies via google play. However, movies rented or purchased via google play cannot be streamed using allshare play. It cannot even be played with any other player except the google movie & tv player (the one with the red icon).
So I guess the only way to do it now is really though allshare cast dongle if I wana do it wirelessly.
Bummer, now I think I bought a useless samsung smart tv and just burned huge hole in my pocket could have saved a lot by buying a basic led tv and an allshare cast dongle.

Can you use the AllShare cast dongle while connected to a WiFi network? I was wanting to use it for Netflix and pandora and I don't have a cellular signal in my room. I had heard that it might not be able to connect to a wifi network while using the screen mirroring functionality. Thanks for your help.

Just make sure both devices are connected to the home network, open up your video player to play the movie, and in the upper left corner of the screen is a little icon like a monitor. I'll have a number in it corresponding to how many dlna devices it is seeing. Click that icon and select your bd player. I'll say processing on your tv for a couple seconds and start playing!

I read people are using push2tv devices such as the Netgear PTV3000 but doesn't the smart tv have that technology built in? I am able to stream video content to my tv over wifi with apps like BubbleUPnP.

I have a Note2 but with Paranoid android means it doesnt have any Samsung features but offers Miracast instead.
Unfortunally Allshare Cast is modifyed Miracast and i think thats the point (its not working for me too)
and unfortunally Miracast from Windows 8.1 does not work too.
I also flashed the stock Rom to get all Samsung features but strangely i get a disconnect even with real allshare Cast , i think i have to write the samsung support maybe the tv has some sort of mailfunction
