ok so i have used remote desktops apps and everything but im looking for an app that just shows different drives on your home pc and able to open them up and play on your pc...
so it would kinda look like astro file manager but you can look though you pc
the closes that i have got was Gmote but they open it in there own player..
i wanna open and play it thought vlc
would be better to use wifi but bluetooth is ok 2
anyone come across a app like this???
I think there is an app that would fit your request... it`s calles "vlc remote" and turns your phone into a remote for the vlc on your pc via wifi, you can download it from the market
I hope that is, what you are searching for... i´m not sure if I understood your request in the right wy, my english is not very goot
You can use droid explorer: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/39922 or
Android commander: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597098

gmote may work for you, in the market
and you install the server portion on your pc, you connect via lan/wifi to your home pc. you can browse through your drives/folders like you would in astro and when you click on a movie file it will play it on your pc monitor, the video player is built into gmoteserver (pc side)
you can also install vnc server on your pc and then install vnc on android (market vnc)
and control it just like you would a normal vnc session.
i myself am looking for a file browser for android that will let me browse network shares and let me copy files to my sdcard

as i said in my first post gmote dose this but when you open a .avi file it opens it in its own weird player and dont run the codec from vlc so the video isnt as clear (is there a fix for that)... but yer i want something just like that... but opens the files in vlc...
im using a remote desktop atm (VNC) without much enjoyment.. its ok i guess just would like a simple app to all drives and pick a file to play full screen on my computer to the look of astro

sorry i must not have read your OP sorry about that.
there is another app gremote much more polished version but its a paid app (market app free but pc software is costs)
besides a vnc type app, i dont know of any app for the pc that will let you remotely launch files too. so if its not there for the pc, its probably not there for the android.
im going to search google for remotely executing files that may lead us to an app that may be made for the android
only other thing i can think of is continue using vnc, switch to media player home cinema as it pauses/play on mouse click. setup a play list on the pc, then use your phone to vnc in to play/pause/volume up/down.
next to that cordless mouse and keyboard =)
So you are looking for a Media Remote Control application.

No no no. What you want is estrongs file explorer. Browse network shares via
Samba (PC networking) or ftp. Over wifi for lan shares or 3G with ftp.
You can ditch Astro after that find.
If you need to do it the other way around; browse the phone's file system with a pc or other device, use swiftp which is an ftp server.

astro just came out with SMB support, you can browse network files through that now too
Hello all,
I'm looking for a way to simply open a Windows shared folder (SMB) and open an AVI file for playback on my Android phone (HTC EVO). I've read a bunch of tutorials on the web, and almost all of them involve setting up streaming software with something like VLC. I'm not going to be streaming over the Internet, just WiFi.
On two Windows PCs, I just normally go to Run -> \\MYSERVER\D$\Videos\ and then double click an AVI and bam... it's playing back. Can't I have the same ease on my phone? I don't want to do any transcoding or anything. Logic tells me that if two Windows PCs can do this, then a PC and Android phone can too.
I already have ASTRO file manager with the SMB plug-in. If I should go about this a different way, let me know.
Thanks!
Download a program from the market called blam blam bloom, it does exactly what you are looking for, I accept paypal donations as thanks for this valuable information.

+1 use cifs manager and cifs.ko module that support for your device
Where can I get cifs.ko that works with kernel 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50?
This isn't exactly the most SIMPLE solution, but Subsonic is absolutely phenomenal, and you can stream pretty much anything, with any settings you want, from your PC to your Android...anywhere.
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp
ooops, i just came to pc and saw this thread now after i made a one asking the same thing... my bad...
i tried cifsmanager, it does exactly what i wanted, but it's really slow ... a normal xvid video pauses every other second, same video reads fine from sdcard...
and i can't get rockplayer to read those folders either cause it's reading only from sdcard mount ... can we go back a directory level in rockplayer?
You can try Gmote, but if you have a samsung phone, get AllShare

It's not that cifsmanager is slow, it just that some videos are too large to be 'streamed' to your phone without any sort of further compression. You're really just maxing out the bandwidth of the wifi I believe. I've been using cifsmanager for months and this my experience and opinion.
And if you can't get rockplayer to work with cifsmanager you're doing something wrong lol. I mount my shafe in cifsmanager, then click on the share again to launch Astro to take me directly to the shared folder. Then I just pick my file and tell it what video player to launch (stock, rock player, or vplayer). You can also change the path of cifsmanager to mount the share on your SD card.
Still looking for cifs.ko for kernel 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50? Can someone help? HTC EVO 4G.
ah deathsled lol i mounted it to a folder in sdcard now, hadn't really notice we could do it.
dunno about the videos being too large, cause the same videos, using mplayer in my wii, i can play them flawlessly without buffering, just by opening them from my computer folders through mplayer's smb connection, which i believe is same thing that cifsmanager does, and the wii only has wifi 54mbps too... so something is definitely really slow in either android or my dell streak
Astro with the SMB plugin works just fine for me...
ASTRO with SMB didn't work when launching other video players. I could browse and do file operations, but since it didn't mount the folder, other programs couldn't access the files.
However, I ended up moving to KiNgxKernel, which has CIFS build-in. I couldn't find a good, easy guide to compile my own CIFS.KO, and couldn't find one already made for my previous kernel version.
Anyone plz guide step by step installation of PLEX and make it working.
You need to download Plex media sever software for the computer you want to stream from.
http://www.plexapp.com/
Follow this guide to setup videos on the media server:
http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/PlexNine_PMS_MediaManager
Install the Android Plex app, and if you are on the same WIFI network, your PC will show up in the Android Plex app.
There are lots of good info on the Plex website, here are some example. There seems to be lots of reading, but its very simple to setup.
http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/Plex_Nine_PMS
The only problem is if your TV shows are not in Season number, episode number format, they might not be added correctly to the media server. More info can be found here.
http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/P...Naming_your_media_files_for_Plex_Media_Server
Over all, I found Plex is the best solution to watch videos.
P.S. The Plex Android Honeycomb app has some bugs need to be worked out compared to 2.2+ version. E.g. the resume playback doesn’t work and the app froze sometimes.
Let us know if you run into any problems.
hello. I am having a problem with plex.
I can see the library on the server (localhost:32400)
The android client finds the server but doesnt detect any movie.
I just have the choice to download plugins.
the server is win vista 32, the client is xoom 3.1 root. They are both on the same LAN.
Thanks for your help.
Happened once with me. Just remove Plex from your Xoom and re-install. Fixed it for me. Hopefully it will do the same for you,
Cheers.
Does anyone know it is possible to get plex connected with my Synology NAS? All my media in on the NAS.

It didn't work for me.
You would need to map the nas as a network drive and then you could browse the folders in plex to add them to the library. I have all of my media on a nas and use plex to get it to my mobile devices and then have it shared for the desktop/laptops.

Can you see movies in the Plex Media Manager (ie, the web browser page through which you configure the Plex server)?

not being funny but have you added your movie/tv files/folders on the pc?
also i had connection problems with plex at first had to go into settings on the plex app on the xoom and press up arrow on your *taskbar* /settings/advancedsettings/ press up arrow agqain to bring up more options and press flush cache

Thanks. Just tried it. didn't change anything.
By the way, is there an older version of plex server for Windows (like plex 8) that I could try ?
The probleme propably comes from the server, because:
I have no problem to see the server from the xoom.
I have the same problem when i install plex client on my phone.
While I can see my movies on the server when connecting to: http://localhost:32400/manage/index.html#/sections/1
I do only have this when connecting to: http://localhost:32400/server
<MediaContainer size="1" content="plugins">
<Directory key="servers" title="servers"/>

As I understood, there should be something about my library here ...

I have been looking around for good file manager for a while to connect to my windows shares and be able to stream flawlessly my HD content. As well access all of my shared files like i could form another windows node. Thats right even though i am a unix admin i still enjoy using windows. Well ok I game some enough said .
I have tried cifs manager and being an admin i tweeked with the mount options directio,rsize,wsize not much helped to enjoy my windows sharing experiance. I tried many other apps to no avail until I found ES File Explorer.
Used with Dice Video Player, it's an experience I have not been able to beat for HD video playback.
I know there is probably alot of you that know about it but after scanning the TF101 forum I didnt see a thread so heres my first post in the EeePad thread.
Attached is the app, enjoy!

My problem with ES is that it opens the file in streaming mode, so you can't skip past the buffered video. Watching a movie isn't really a problem, but if I want to skip to a certain part of it, I have to wait till it finishes buffering.
Using CIFS allows me to skip to any part of the file instantly, but it does have slower transfer speeds. Directio gives me ~2MB/s, but strangely, it breaks MP4 streaming. rsize=16384 gets me up to 1.2MB/s, but I also added a 16K block size to my Windows box's registry, so I'm not sure if it was the combo that did it. ES gives me about 2.2MB/s, but with the problem of not being able to seek.
1.2MB/s is enough for most 720p stuff I have, so I'll continue to use CIFS. Really wish I could match ES' speed though.
Thanks TGA appreciate your work on the g2x also. Some reason Es is not picking up my LAN when I scan.
Edit: ok put it in manually found it but my shared files aren't showing up.

Try enabling password protected sharing in windows , give your user Administrator privileges and check the files being shared that you have security permissions to them read write exec and the whole drive.
I can see my hidden shares in windows even! C$ D$ S$, etc and everything in them.
oh and turn off all firewalls on you pc.
Yeah I got it... Had to share with everyone though... Mobo is real choppy gonna try dice. Just something i'm gonna have to mess with. That everyone thing could get me in trouble I imagine. Windows 7 is cool, just not real experienced with it.

BubbleUPnP can as long as you have media sharing setup through WMP. Personally, I would setup something like Subsonic (http://www.subsonic.org) or Serviio (http://www.serviio.org/) as they both offer transcoding of media (both audio and video).
My current setup at home with both Subsonic for audio/video over the web and Serviio locally for in the house is running on a small Dell Optiplex 755 desktop running Windows Server 2008. It works flawlessly and I can stream audio and video anywhere that I am on pretty much any device.
Seriously, this is the Development section... it might have been a mistake but honestly from the first day I joined XDA I knew that Development was for releases. It's simple stuff, really. Questions go in general.

I have a super-*****in' awesome solution for you. How awesome depends on what you want and your setup.
If your phone and computer are both networked already via wireless router, etc:
Not so awesome, but still cool:
1. Get Allshare, this is a Samsung app that is on our phones, although it is removed on some ROMs.
2. Setup Windows Media player to share your content.
3. Watch stuff with default media player via Allshare.
Awesomest:
1. Get ES File Explorer or other networked file manager.
2. Create share on computer and add the share in ES File Explorer
3. Watch stuff with default media player via ES File Explorer.
Awesomest:
NOTE: You will need CIFS enabled kernel, like Imoseyon's kernel.
1. Aquire CIFS kernel modules (can't remember where, but the ones for Froyo work on GB.) I save these to a folder on the SD card.
2. Enable CIFS in Terminal Emulator with "su" and "enable cifs" commands
3. Install Busybox 18.2
4. Install CIFS Manager
5.. In CIFS Manager, load the previously download kernel modules with insmod
6. In CIFS Manager, create a mounted share to your computer share folder.
7. Mount Share.
8. Play your shared videos with your favorite player by browsing to a folder on your SD card!
You will likely need to reboot at various points of this process. If done correctly, you will then have a folder on your SD card that displays all the contents of the network share. Any video play that can browse folders will see your shared files inside of a folder on your SD card.
If you are serious about doing this, I can post a more in-depth guide to help. I personally find this to be essential, and extremely badass.
One thing that you should know is that many video files will not play properly on this phone unless you use Soft-decoding. I recommend Moboplayer which has a Soft-decoding feature if you long press a file. In this way you will be better able to play a wider range of files. NOTE that you have to be able to see the file in the program by browsing to the folder. Moboplayer cannot browse network shares. It will only browse local files. THUS, you have to enable CIFS if you want to use Soft-decoding because then the files will be mounted to you SD card so that Moboplayer can actually see the folder.
Lastly, there are other ways to mount CIFS shares and other ways to soft-decode files. I personally feel that this is the best way, since I can mount the shares to my liking via CIFS Manager, instead of having to modify the init.d and whatnot. THEN I can use Titanium Backup to save all my CIFS mounts, and don't have to fiddle-screw around for hours trying to set up all my shares every time I load my phone.
*EDIT* This is assuming you already have a network in which your phone and computer are installed on. There are ways of directly linking a laptop wifi, for example, to your phone and you can still mount the CIFS shares over an infrastructure wifi access point that you configure your laptop for. You can still connect your laptop to a wifi access point and get internet, as well as internet for the phone through the laptop (all the while sharing files from your laptop directly to your phone.) If this sounds cool to you, let me know.
I did Option #2 with ES File Explorer.. but it will NOT stream my .avi movies... it first has to download the entire 630mb movie file locally to the phone.. then it plays...
I just don't get why it's such a pain in the ass to get streaming video from a Windows networked share to STREAM to an Android device??? I mean this is basic functionality.. why is it such a process to do it with Android?
I also have a Viewsonic g-tablet.. that is the main device I want to STREAM my Windows 7 networked movies onto... and I have the same problems on the G-tablet running Android 2.3.5. It's just a real PITA to get this to work... I give up!
time to revert back to using my Windows 7 laptop and ditch this crappy Android tablet.

how do I install the .APK file onto my android phone?
running ZumoCast right now... great stuff.. thank you very much!
I'm wondering however... if I am inside my LAN at home.. .meaning my android phone is connected to my local wifi router.. AND my windows 7 pc is also connected to the local wifi router... what speeds will Zumocast use? does it transmit all the data content right through my local wifi connection withOUT going through the Zumocast servers at all?
how about if I am away from home on my Android phone?
Zumocast made me make an free account and the Android app needs that account to login to see all your data.. so I'm not sure if all the data that I stream is actually first going from my Windows 7 pc... through the internet through the Zumocast servers... then back down to my Android phone?

I use ps3 media server on my PC and UPnPlay app on my phone.
The reason I use PS3 media server is I have a PS3 and stream my library of ripped dvds to the TV that way.
So I tried to get samsung allshare app to run with media player. I couldn't get it to work.
So I tried UPnPlay app. It doesn't have a media player with it which I like. I just use Moboplayer which supports just about anything I can throw at it. And it works flawlessly.
This should work right out of the box since PSM has matured to more than a server to the PS3. It has a default android .conf (configuration file). But I edited one and created a pretty good one for the charge. If anyone wants to try it out I'll gladly post the info.

Yep, that is one of the annoying things I should have mentioned. Allshare won't require that you download files first, but Allshare is kindof annoying to use. There are other DLNA apps on the Market that should work better though.
In any case, I quit messing around and I just use CIFS. Plus, I can VPN into my home network if I am on the go. With CIFS, all my files show up in my SD card folders no matter where I am. I can't think of a more elegant solution. Its just like mapping a network drive in Windows. If you want some help getting set up, either post on this thread or PM me, I can offer more details. This is great as well considering you can share any file, documents, music, videos, etc and any app can see it on your SD card.
