Access android phone from Vu+

Hello,

is there a possibility to access my android phone SD card from Vu+?
E.g. I take same pictures/videos with my phone and would like to see them on bigger screen. And yes I realize that I am perhaps lazy to move them to PC and then to connect from Vu to PC.

I have Vu+Uno, Samsung GT-S5570, android version 2.3.6

If your Samsung galaxy mini has the all share button like other galaxy devices then yes you can.

Your vu+ must be on BH Ver 2.0.6 and above.

To enable this feature go to BH speed up panel 2x blue button> BH speed up and enable coherence upnp renderer for dvb stream.

On your galaxy device Go to settings and select the near by devices toggle switch in the connect and share area. You then need to allow coherence page getter when asked.

Once allowed go into pictures / videos on your galaxy and hit the allshare button... Your device should now pop up (vu stb) select it and watch the magic happen

Note... Some devices may have to tick... File sharing box. Depends on which android version you are on..... This only works on Samsung galaxy devices with all share button

What about the air player plugin? That should work ok for you streaming videos etc to your box
I know the plugin works with apple product but not sure about android

thanks yummer for this. However my phone does not have this "all share" button. It has an option called "Tethering and portable hosts" but it did not work.
I've tried using app in phone called Wifi FTP but Vu+ did not find him.
Is there some other option?

Go to play store mate and download app called bubbleupnp
Use this with coherence renderer like described download from BH speedup 2x blue button

Well I've tried everything, but to no success. Using BH 2.0.7.1 image as well. Bubbleupnp shows only local render and nothing else. The upnp render in Vu is enabled. Seem that the blocking point is my phone or its android version.

Is your android connected to same Network as your vu. Can you connect to it by putting in your vu IP into your phone browser

yep, picture and dvd player enabled. stupid question but does my vu+ uno has to have wifi to run upnp?
No it just needs to be connected to your router on the same network as your phone m8. Ethernet cable mines connected and works.

well to close this topic, upnp works on Vu+ as I connect to it through my notebook. However mobile phone Samsung GT-S5570 even when using bubbleupnp does not recognize Vu+.
