hey guys. So I recently put some of my movies on my pc via the digital download codes i received when buying the movies. I have been trying for a good two hours now to set up the ability to stream these files to my SGSIII using AllShare Play. These files, no matter how much I manipulate their location on my pc, will not show up under the videos tab on the AllShare App. They do show up though, under the files tab. But all i can do from there is download them straight to my phone. I cannot stream them. On this screen though, there is a little "N" inside a orange square. I dont know if that is the issue and I cannot find any info on that symbol. So basically I am wondering how do I set up these files (all are over like 600MB) to stream to my phone from my pc, via AllShare Play? All help is appreciated. Thank you guys.
I think you need the All Share Cast dongle to work with the All Share app. I've tried putting digital copies from DVDs or blurays onto my S3 and haven't been able to get them play like that either. So beats me.. frustrating. But anyway, this is the themes and apps section. This should be asked in the Q&A sub forum.

Is it possible to run the old Allshare app from the S2 on the S3, as it is far better.
Thanks

You must install allshare play to your pc and than you can connect with gs3 i use dice player for watching movies from pc.

Hey guys.
I am trying to mirror the screen of my Galaxy S3 to my google tv ( Vizio Co-Star). I googled and googled but still did not find anything. I know you can mirror it with a samsung tv with share cast but what about google tv?
Thank You.
I'm glad I got my Amazon Fire TV, it's working out really well, especially for XBMC.
However, one key thing I'm missing now (since I sold my Apple TV) is the ability to Airplay Mirror. I was looking for an alternative in reading some of the posts we have so far. I came across someone successfully using Air Receiver, but I wasn't able to get access to the APK.
At any rate, if anyone has any thing they've done to successfully get an Airplay Mirror alternative to work, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks.
I believe some people are using AllCast. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to be working fine.
I'm looking for something similar but will allow multiple people on the network to send YouTube videos into a queue on the FireTV from their phones. This is all I use the Chromecast for now and I'm trying to eliminate the need for the Chromecast.
Edit: Apparently AllCast does YouTube queuing like the Chromecast. Sweet.
AirPlay DLNA
Search Airplay/dlna on the google app store
That should do it for you. I was looking for the same thing.

There is no way to currently cast a chrome browser tab or the computer screen to it like you can with Chromecast. I need that ability and still use the Chromecast for it. Otherwise, I would have removed the Chromecast and just gone with the FireTV. I currently have both.
I see that allcast could work, but it doesn't support mirroring which is really what I'm after.
Spelvin, I can try what you've suggested. I'm not sure how to get the apk to the fire tv though, I can't get apk's off my phone, I'm not rooted. Guess I'll have to root.

Even when I press the power button and turn the screen off on my iPhone. Audio playback to my Pioneer receiver stops when I do that!
OK I have a nexus player so I know how to sideload etc. on it or go to google store on my pc and send apps to it. Now, I have a ftv 2 on order and I'm wondering if I will be able to add apps to the ftv in the same manner or is there some difference between an apk for nexus player and fire tv? I'm in Canada and I'm not really sure if its possible to setup an amazon account so as to be able to go o the amazon underground app store. Thanks for any help.

Thanks thats what i was looking for.
My kids want to play Minecraft on the big screen, is it possible on the Firecube? Can we get Play Store? I searched but it’s looks like a no.
TIA
Minecraft is, or was, available in the Amazon app store. I don't think it was ever made available for the 2nd gen Cube (or 3rd). I just get an app unavailable message if I try to install it from the App store.
If you own it on Android, you can try to sideload the APK from your Android device to the FireTV. I tried it on the Cube, it loaded and got to the Microsoft sign-in screen, but didn't have an account to sign-in to see if I could get further.
I don't think there is a way install the Google Play store on the Cubes. Maybe with root on the 2nd gen but nobody has tried and reported about it.
I understand your kids' desire to play Minecraft on the big screen. As for your question, unfortunately, Firecube doesn't support the Play Store, which means you can't download Minecraft from there. But don't worry, there are still ways to play Minecraft on your TV. You can connect your phone or tablet to your TV via HDMI or a streaming device like Chromecast or Roku. Alternatively, you could get a gaming console like Xbox or PlayStation, which both have Minecraft to download. And if you ever need any help with mods or plugins for Minecraft, be sure to check out modbay.net, it's an excellent resource for Minecraft enthusiasts. Good luck and happy crafting!
