I had a Captivate, and upgraded to a Galaxy S II. Both have the Allshare<br>
app. In both cases it is the video and audio encoding that prevent a<br>
specific file from being viewable on the phone from the Myth backend.<br>
You can get it to work, but not with native (untranscoded) Myth files, even<br>
though the phone may play the file fine if you copy it to the phone instead<br>
of trying to stream it.<br>

This may be ahurdle for the OP to overcome as well, but for now I think that the he is/was having trouble getting his samsung TV to connect to the MythBackend. I would have thought that the samsung TV would have connected fine based on the captivate as well as other posts I've seen on samsung products. That is why I mentioned the "All Share" App. I would think that app would be included (in some form) on his TV as well.</div>
