Not exactly sure how to get an N4 to play media that I'm viewing on my GN2... any ideas? Tried WiFi direct, allshare doesn't seem to work cause N4 isn't Samsung... am I missing something? Imediashare?

Bluetooth?
You need the two phones to be connected to a router for the dlna to work.
Another way to get it working is with streaming through internet apps (Skifta comes to mind). Works similarly to allshare which shares your media through the internet. The reliability is poor at best for Skifta.
Workaround is to use Wi-Fi direct and transfer the video over to the N4.

I have a linksys e4200 with a HDD connected by USB on it, i have a network set up so that apple tvs and other media devices can stream from it, but i have not yet found a good app that can do it on my GS3. I don't care if it's a paid app, i just want a solid nice looking streaming app.
You tried Plex?

That's odd... I have a linsksys router with NAS capabilities via a usb and through imediashare I clicked on home network and showed my router no problem and if i wanted I easily pushed the stuff to my tv

Go for Wondershare. It's free, and works great for NAS as well as http/mms streams from online.

I found BSPlayer free...wow finally a good app, just entered my routers default ip and voila, streaming 1080p mkv videos with 0 lag
Plex is your answer. whatever you are using now, scrap it. plex has clients for pc, mac, linux, android/google tv, ios, roku, ect. it handles media shares through other plex servers and DLNA. trust us, you will thank us.

Scrap everything..... use TVMobili... its perfect NON-Java based. Plays Mkv without transcoding straight from my NAS to my Samsung TV, I use BubbleUpnp as the app on my phone to control it all...

So when I had an s2 I would just use all share to steam videos to my Xbox or wifi connected Samsung TV. It worked wonderfully.
Now that I have an s3 I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do the same thing. The all share play app seems worthless in this situation. On my s2 I was able to just flash the all share app through recovery on most rooms and it would be fine. Wondering if there's a way to get this working
Go to settings/more settings/nearby devices and turn on file sharing. Took me a while to figure that out too.

So my basic problem is that I have a lot of media on my home desktop. It's a home built machine that has no sounds and runs windows xp
I have no problem streaming video over wifi. Everything works absolutely fine that way.
What I want to know is how to open media that's on my computer from a remote location (using a separate wifi network)
I'm currently using team viewer for remote access and it works for many things but it doesn't allow me to stream video to my phone. It allows me to play video on my computer and to view it but this is useless without sound
I'm considering trying to make a vpn but I'm not very computer literate.
Any suggestions?

No such thing has been done yet to my understanding, you can only stream over a WI-FI network so far

I think I might have found a solution and I feel sort of like an idiot. I'll test it out tonight and see if it works.

splashtop remote transmits sound
I'm trying the emit app it seems to work but I'll have to try it at work. As I said I feel dumb finding this a few hours after posting
I do seem to experience a lot of lag on videos so I guess that's my next problem to fix.

Emit works fine over the net (both on my own wifi and using my cell phones Ltd or other computers on different networks)
However lag when using it over cell broadcast is pretty bad and I'm trying to find a way to improve it

Hi, Guys.
I know that S4 has DLNA capability.
Have a Sharp TV that also DLNA capable
I tried to view the pictures and all I get is "DLNA server is not found".
Wife's HP lappy, on the other hand, connects with no problem,so I know that DLNA on the TV works.
Did anyone try to use this feature? What am I doing wrong?
Both devices are on the same router, is there some settings I have to turn ON to be able to use DLNA with S4?
Thanks in advance.
Tester.
The first time I did it the s4 and/or the TV asked for my permission to connect. Once I authorized, it worked every time. Refer to your TV owner's manual.

Is it possible to use Chromecast on our GPro? I plan to use it to play video from MX PLayer and view it on TV.
Also, if it is possible, what are the things needed to set up the connection?
1. My GPro installed with MX player and Chromecast app
2. Chromecast, plugged to TV?
3. Wifi modem
4. TV with HDmi input
Am I missing anything else? Like a cable or something?

Chromecast works for pretty much any Android or iOS device and PCs. MX Player will not work unless there's something new I'm not aware of. Right now it only works for YouTube, Google Play content, Netflix, Hulu (I think) and Chrome browser on PC will cast anything you can play in the web browser. Pr0n and all that lol.
Just plug the Chromecast into your HDMI port connect the power and setup here. The chromecast app just enables chromecast specific functions in the apps mentioned above. Not sure when we'll be able to play our own content. They say eventually. We'll see. I love mine I have 2 one in my bedroom and one in the living room. It also comes with everything you need.
It works

Mine will not connect to it, never finds any thing. Works on one of my Nexus 7's

That's good to hear. Sounds pretty cool though. Unfortunately viewing own content is my main concern using the device. Finding a cable here is quite difficult. They are all MHL to HDMi.
