Havent really seen it anywhere really in the shops that is.

But if you can, buy it online, you know its gonna be so much cheaper than buying in a shop.

Would you not be better just getting a dlna compatible media player and using that?

I have a Samsung TV and the S3. I have the TV wired up to my LAN. When I try to broadcast video taken on the phone to my TV using Allshare over Wi-Fi it does not work well. So much so that I don't use it as it is continually buffering.
I have a couple of NAS drives on the LAN and the media player in the TV streams Video and Audio from those no problem. My point really is that I don't know how well Allshare works if you do buy this device. Probably depends a lot on the quality and size of the files you want to broadcast/stream.

are you using cast or play?
ive streamed videos, without issue, using play.
i dont have any device compatible with cast so havent got to use it yet.

the difference i believe is that play streams the file and the DLNA device decodes it. with cast it sends a mirror of the screen and this needs more data and more encoding / decoding work so if you are using cast you might be having issues with the amount of data being sent, the same for play if you are sending very large video files

its not the same thing, a dlna player will only allow media to be sent. allshare cast allows full screen mirroring. it seems samsung have their own implementation of the protocol

I'm not using the "AllShare Play" App as it doesn't see my TV. When I open a Video and when I am connected to my LAN an icon appears at the top of the screen which lets me broadcast or stream the video to my TV.

That sounds like its screen mirroring, and like RDP, this isnt great for performance.

Get a DNLA host app and use that, will work much better.

its DLNA media playback then, via the stock video app rather than screen mirroring.
its allshare play in samsung terms

I just had a play with allshare play and it seems identical to dlna, playing from my NAS and laptop to my TV and pioneer X-SMC3.

Chet T16

I've a samsung TV btw

subway

Sounds right, all share play is stand dlna.
Go to
settings / more settings / all share cast
To see if you can use the samsung version of miracast for full screen mirroring

Chet T16

Ah, ok I hadn't seen that before. No it doesn't find the tv. The help menu only mentions the dongle too.

Guys, do you see any difference between these two? Manufacturer codes are different and prices... But is it the same product?

It is great but im not happy with lack of full hd and no option to push video through AV / amplifier....so sound must go through tv with poor quality
Otherwise awesome! Hohhot also, Bluetooth doesn't work when phone is connected with allshare.
