Im interested in buying a Samsung bluray player and I know these days they are wireless, and some are compatible with allshare cast,play, blahblahblah. So my question is, what Samsung bluray player do you have and what exactly have you been able to do so far? Please include your model number to confirm features and how well they work. Thanks a lot.
I highly doubt the galaxy s3 interacts with bluray players, it can be used as a remote control for your samsung tv that supports it but bluray players and galaxy s3 have nothing to do with each other.

I saw a youtube video where someone made their phone into a remote control.. I dont remember what they used or how they did it, but i do remember it was all done over Bluetooth. So there must be an app on the market to allow it to function as a bluetooth remote control.

I can control my Samsung bluray player with my phone... and stream via allshare. Where'd you come up with your answer?

Just was wondering if you guys use a DLNA app like Allshare from Samsung. I would love to have this on my GNEX.
Try Skifta. It's better.
Haven't tried Skifta. I've been using iMediashare for a while now and it's pretty decent.
using imediashare...works great with the Boxee Box
I use BubbleUpnp.
It allows you to identify a device as a renderer, so you can control it remotely - for example, i have my media on my network drive, and use my phone to tell my GTV what to play.
I also have an old Android phone hooked up to the stereo in my garage, and do the same thing with that - control it with my Gnex...
+1 for iMediaShare.

+1 for Twonky Beam Browser and Twonky Mobile with the free PC Twonky Server, theses have proven the most reliable for me and my *complex* set up, I have some content on Home server, and have a Xbox360, a WD live and an Apple TV! I can send content from any location to any other location!
Skifta and Upnp. Upnp seems to be better for music, but both are great.

I tried bubble upnp and Skifta combined with default video player, MX videoplayer and Mobo Player but I can't see videos.
I used bubble + mx video player on LG Dual (CM7) and it works but with my Galaxy Nexus no... I see only a "waiting" message with MX videoplayer and MoboPlayer... why?
And if I transfer the original video to the phone memory I can see it even with the default player!!!
I have the original 4.0.4 rom rooted, nothing more!
Thanks!
Skifta was quite unstable for me. It caused the GNex to freeze up when re-entering the app. Had to battery pull to restart.

Hello,
I'm very interested in the HTC One X, but video playback is really important to me.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is said to play anything, the HTC is more limited.
Is there a way to give the HTC One X the same playback capabilities (adding codecs in custom roms, or via different media players) as the Galaxy S3?
Or is the support of codecs programmed into the hardware, so you can use tricks to achieve close to the same playback capabilities of the S3, but never really the same?
Thanks!
No, codecs are not programed into the hardware. Use a 3rd party media player if something doesn't work with the built in player.

Since I don't know exactly what codecs GS3 supports I cant say with a certainty, but I'm pretty sure you can find a way to play everything the SGS3 can play, there are so many different players out there. I use MX player and DicePlayer on my transformer tablet, so far I haven't come across any file type those couldn't play.

Ok, I was watching Netflix on my Xbox360 and playing around on my Note. Moving some pics around in my gallery when I noticed a strange icon in the top right corner "change player". Tapped the icon and next thing you now my Netflix stopped and my pic was being displayed on my TV! I didn't even set up anything... they're just sharing the same Wifi!
So I had to test it with a movie and sure enough the video player had the same icon... streamed a movie to my TV through my Xbox360 without a hiccup. Pretty sweet...
I was aware of Allshare but this was crazy easy!
Was allshare even open when u realized this?

I could do this on my galaxy s3 also.... Though it works better with my Note

My videos in stock player play fine, but I get this error message "unsupported audio codec" - and I have no sound.
They play ok in Galaxy Note 2, and everywhere else. Tried MX player, same thing. Video is ok but with no sound.
Any solution to this?

Your video probably comes with DTS stream that cannot be decoded. Google MX player DTS you wull find the proper codec.
If you are using Mx player you need to check off the audio codec in the settings. I would keep it that way forever.

I actually loved the stock samsung player on th gn10.1 2012. it played everything. the first vid I tried to play on this one and it won't play ac3 audio. so I've started using archos and the old bs player again.
Bsplayer got hit with ac3 problem when dolby demanded royalty fees, maybe samsung did to?

Speaking of players, can this thing play 4K videos?

for a $600 there shouldn't be any legal issues. pay the royalty and be done with it.

I bet from a business standpoint, the amount the royalties cost per a device wouldn't have been worth it compared to the actual amount of people that would really take advantage of it. But yes, it would be cool to have had it out of the box. But I believe it works fine with MX Player from my testing, and it really wasn't that hard to get MX Player.
I had the same issue with unsupported audio codec, solved with VLC player.
I've paid. for just about every player, mobo, dice, bs.. right now my favorite is archos. it's a mix of mizuu and bs. I havent had a single video that it couldnt play yet.
Are those your recommended players to watch most content? I really want to buy one but in the past have ran into audio issues.

I like archos because it can download movie info, tv series info, and play about everything. I use he archos free codecs and everything plays fine. I've always liked archos media player from when I used to have the archos 101.
I know you can use other media players, but the point of using stock player is that it plays videos with the help of hardware, thus less battery consumption, versus if you use software decoding by other apps. Or at least It was like that on Nexus 10.
Has anyone tried to contact Samsung about this? My old galaxy 7.7has ac3 support.

the other media player can use hardware decoding if available. archos does ac3 fine with hardware decoding. i'd supposed the old bs player will to but i've not used it yet.
but it was nice having a great player that played everything built into the system.

If you download MX Player's NeoN-driver (you'll find the download link to the .zip in the settings), you can use HW+ for video and audio (DTS supported). Using this you are in audio/video heaven with the new Note 10.1. You can even play 2 full HD movies, one with MX Player and one with the built-in player (in pop-up mode) at the same time without any hickup. And if you so desire, open up an internet or file browser while you are at it - screen area allowing.
I see so much talk of lag and other supposed deficiencies here, while so far I have been in honeymoon state for 8 days solid.

Try diceplayer or mxplayer on the playstore.
The stock player can't reproduce ac3 sound.
Sorry for my english.....
MX player is free and works as does Archos player, also free. Both can be found on the play store. You may need to also get the Archos free codecs and if you want DTS sound in MX then you need to download the custom codec (there is a link in MX player)...
Yes MX-video player will do the job but
Samsung video player on my note 2 can play mkv file with no issue. So there must be away to make it work.

mkv is just the container, samsung dropped ac3 support. You can strip the audio & remux or do as others suggested and use a software based player.
I used to use MX player but recenty found out clueful privacy advisor indicate it has the potential/risk of leaking the device unique ID. Currently using super video player/Gplayer using software decoder to be able to hear audio during video playback.
Dice Player gets my vote its excellent, but you need "libffmpeg.so" for DTS audio which I added in the thread below.

Lets not forget XBMC if you want the full media center experience
Talk about XBMC. I also have audio problem. I can get it plays any movie but bad audio meaning I can hear sound but too much static... Is there any setting I need to do.

Which is why I'm rooted, have xPosed framework installed and added xPrivacy....
If I were you I would skip the usual trash on market and go for VLC instead. Its free and opensource with excellent reputation of being the swiss knife of media players. Recently the authors made a sustained effort to bring it from PC to iOS and android.
Beta version is available on the market and fresh apk nightlies can be downloaded from their servers http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/.
Even though still in beta, everything except hit and miss harware acceleration works.
Do I need any additional codecs for dice Player?

No, unless your viewing something with DTS audio then you need "libffmpeg.so"
Ok, I just used the file from MX Player....I guess that didn't work.
Picked the file from your link now.
About MX Player. In LBE Security there isn't anything listed concerning the ID. Do you guys have anything to read up on this issue?

If you plan to put and watch MKV movies on Galaxy Note 10.1 2014, converting MKV to MP4, which is the most suitable format for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 playback, may be the best method.

On MX you need to set audio decoding via software but sound works fine for MKV's...
Mx player can play anything. If it doesnt then just get the right codec. If it doesnt exist just write the right codec.
