[Q] Unable to get AllShare to work...

---

I have been thus far unable to see my pc in the AllShare "Remote Device" pane.

I've been on several sites looking for help but have come up empty handed. Anyone else had this problem?

My set up:

• Windows 7
• BT Home Hub 3
• Galaxy S2

What I've done so far:

• Enable Homegroup
• In Windows Mdeia Player selected Stream > Automatically Allow Devices To Play My Media
• Ensured that all of the Libraries I wish to share are set up correctly (they are as I can stream to my XBox360 no problem)

I open up AllShare, select "Remote Device" it scans and finds nothing.

I'm sure I'm being a complete 'tard, but cannot for the life of me figure out what I've done wrong!

Any ideas, folks?

From what I have seen so far on youtube I was under the impression that allshare is supposed to work the other way around - send for example a video stream from the phone to a TV or other dlna enabled device. I am not sure if it works from PC to the phone.

Got it figured, I did everything correctly except wait!

The Home Hub is on the ground floor and I'm on the top, with 5 other devices connected to the router. It was taking a minute or two to discover my pc, then a further minute each level of directory down.

I've rebooted the Home Hub and it has improved markedly, although the types of file that will stream over to the device are somewhat restricted; avi's play fine, mkv and mpeg will not play. Music seems fine. :)

Tried to send some video to my XBox but was unsuccessful, may not be enough bandwidth I guess...

Do you know what codecs it supports? I'm running Orb on my Mac Mini and trying to stream so AVIs but it's not playing ball...

did you remember to put the xbox into media centre mode first, before trying to send video?
