So did you get things working? Are you able to watch the videos on your laptop from your Samsung phone?

Thanks a lot
No, I couldn't run anything at all since I couldn't installed ginkgosoft DLNA player. Since I didn't find that DLNA Player powered by 'ginkgosoft' was not listed at all when looking for it in google store, I really had to open the that link of the DLNA Player powered by 'ginkgosoft' sent by you from my Android. When, I opened that link while working on my Android, then I have redirected into the Google Store, then I found this program was not compatible with your model. As a result, I couldn't install it since there was no option for installing it.

However, I MX player was listed there, and I could install it if I wanted to, but it will not be do anything alone since its functionality is only palys the unsupported video file formats.

Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570I.

What about installing the first one AnDLNA player which was working with me, however, it couldn't support some file formats, and then I will install MX player. However, how could MX player will access file formats?


NB: Do you think that while watching the videos on my laptop from my Samsung phone, this will account from my internet credit as much as I watch videos on Youtube.com?

Does your Samsung phone have the Allshare app mentioned here?: How do I use the AllShare® (DLNA?) Application on my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant?? : T-Mobile Cell Phones | Samsung

Thanks a lot,

Unfortunately, My mobile seems as if it is different from what you have said. There is no AllShare at all.
There is applications, but there is no AllShare as it shown below.
Applications > AllShare . The AllShare screen is displayed.

My mobile is Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570I
Android version is 2.3.
My mobile is old and not new.
Are there any thing which may help.

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas to help you. Perhaps you can find a forum that deals specifically with your phone and people there can help you to find a DLNA client that will work on your phone.

Thanks a lot,
Never mind, I only wish that I could succeed to play the unsupported video file formats.
By the way, as said before, the AnDLNA could play the MP3,4 video file formats. However, the others, it could not play them. There is no option or choice to prompt me to choose another player to play the unsupported video files

Thus, do you think that if I remains the AnDLNA installed and then installed the MX player or even the QQ player which can support all other formats. However, how could QQ player or MX player access those files as long as I only see those files while on AnDLNA?

In addition, I really have chatted a Samsung agent available in the link you provided, however, they said that my mobile is international, and not a US product. Thus, they didn't help me. However, I really quite surprised how they knew that my mobile is international, although my mobile model doesn't contain anything indicating internationalism.
My mobile is Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570I

For my curiosity, if anyone living in the US, and he was leaving the US to another country, thus what will they do with their US mobiles as long as they will be working in their own countries.

I installed AnDLNA on my phone and when I select a movie to watch from my server I am prompted as to which player to use and can then select MX Player or whichever other I choose. You need to figure out which player you currently have set to play AVI & FLV files and clear that as the player for those file types.

If you have a player that won't work with a video format then you need to go into Settings->Apps on your Android device, find that player app, touch it to open it's properties, then click on "Clear Defaults" to clear any file formats that player has been set as the Default app for.

Thanks a lot,

What did you do even you prompted? It might you have used another version of AnDLNA.
I really was not prompted. When I view, and click on a file format not supported, I don't see any response. If file format not supported was converted from the FLV format into mp4 by another program called 'QQ player' I saw clicking on that file inside 'AnDLNA' showed me this file cannot be running, although it was running well on my Laptop.

You need to figure out which player you currently have set to play AVI & FLV files and clear that as the player for those file types.

You mean that I can configure the AnDLNA client to let not play AVI & FLV by default, and then set the MX player to play those file formats by default. I would be saying that there is no settings inside the AnDLNA to be configured at all. Yes, QQ player or MX player, I think can be configured.

If you have a player that won't work with a video format then you need to go into Settings->Apps on your Android device, find that player app, touch it to open it's properties, then click on "Clear Defaults" to clear any file formats that player has been set as the Default app for

I really even before installing the AnDLNA client, or any other Media player software, such as MX player or QQ player, I noticed that most MP4, 3 are working well on the Android mobile, although I don't know what player play them. I think there is a built-in media player utility or program pre-installed on the Android, or otherwise I will end up with not working all video formats.

Strolling, could you help me with this new problem, from the AnDLNA client, I was able to viewing the files shared on the WMP server on my HP laptop(windows 7), however, when I have removed all files included in the WMP server, and then reincluded them again, I no longer see any shared files on WMP server are shown (listed) on the AnDLNA client.(I tried uninstalled the AnDLNA client, and then installed it again), but the same thing is still happening.
I am quite sure that the I did the same steps I did before.::

First:I’ve already organized my files into My Videos folders, and shared a folder included in the Video library.

Second: I lunched the WMP, I selected the option Automatically allow devices to play my media.
Third: I clicked the Stream drop-down menu again, and select More streaming options. Next: I enabled the Media programs.


If the problem were with the AnDLNA client, then I wouldn't see the files were listed when I have Plugged the same external hard disk containing the video files to another Dell laptop using the same Windows 7.
On Dell laptop, I can view and run all files via AnDLNA client on the Android.

Could you let me know what solution will be there?
