Nearby devices (or DLNA) question

[sejgiul]

I've got an xbox 360 and I've just found out I can share videos on the Note 2 straight to the xbox wirelessly. This is with the default video player and it works extremely well I think. The problem I am facing is that I use the Samsung Video Hub (they often have late night movies that you can get for free plus thanks to a glitch previously I have been able to download about 20 films for free) and when I play content from that, I cannot share it to the xbox? The little icon for screen sharing doesn't show up.

Does anyone know why it won't do this and if there is a fix for it?

Thanks

Mxplayer may have that feature. Not all of samsungs stock apps are dlna enabled. Also you could try an mhl cable which is essentially just a micro usb to hdmi cable. Ive got a similiar setup and do the video transfer stuff to my tv all or xbox all the time.

Thanks. I've tried mxplayer but couldn't see an option for sharing it

Ive never used the hub. How does it work normally? I mean when it downloads the video, does the app itself play the video or do you use a video app of your choice to play it.

It gives you the choice of a video player. In my case either stock, mx or vlc. I imagine there's some sort of drm involved?

Try choosing stock video player app then while its playing setting video to output dlna.
