The app buffering the VLC stream from my Dreambox but not showing any video.
At least now I can watch porn from my computer.
i can not download it from the market.please give me another link to download it
i followed the directions but i just keep getting a buffering notification and no video or audio. :-/
****Nevermind. It started working after i restarted the app.******
Worked fine for me on WiFi, but didn't try on 3G yet.
Tried on 3G. RTSP video streaming is not working.Getting Buffering failed error. Sent message to developer.
Whoops! Edit!
Turning off my hotspot and streaming over 4g works! WOO!
I can't seem to get it to stream to my phone. i opened up the 5554 port on my router, but it doesn't seem to work. any advice? The 8080 port works when i play on computer and i can use my phone as the remote, but i can't seem to figure out how to stream... grr.
edit: nvm. everything seems to be working now.

I'm trying to set up a VLC stream from my PC with all of my media to my phone. I'm hoping I can create a nice little media server with my 2TB of video so I can watch them any where, any time.
I can't find any new information for VLC on Android although I know the beta for the iPad was just released. Anyone know any more?
I've been looking for something like this as well, I've had no luck streaming anything. The only thing that has worked is orb and the quality sucks. I also had tversity running but its just to finnicky with x64 Windows 7. You may wanna try tversity if you have a atleast a core 2 machine running x86 xp.

There's no VLC for Android. The closest thing is RockPlayer and the built-in Browser/Video/Music player.
And VLC on your computer doesn't quite work that way, either. You can only have it set to be a streaming server (like an Internet radio/video station) and then watch/listen to that stream from your Browser. You can't control it unless you get a VLC remote app (search in the Market) at which point you'll have to disconnect from the stream to open the remote.
As for anything similar, there's plenty. I just don't know/use any.
checkout VLC Stream and Convert in the market. VERY COOL app. Allows you to control VLC on the PC from the phone, including stream video from the PC to phone. Even allows a basic browser to find the media. Video quality over wifi is great. Can't say I've tried streaming through the internet but I'd bet its pretty decent. Dev has a website with instructions
Ok i just tried this app and it works perfect.
Does this work with HDMI Out?

I had the same problem on Fresh 3.2. If you can't get his lastest version of the app to work for you, then I pulled this apk off of a nandroid backup. It's of an older version that still works for me. (Still have to change port to 5554).
Also, per the developers warning, VLC 1.1.4 supposedly has audio streaming issues, so you'll probably want 1.1.3 also.

Cool thanks for the heads up. Gonna try this 2week thing and see how it goes streaming to my tab at work.
so far its been working flawlesly through wifi and wifi tethering
havnt tried over 3g as i dont have att sim
i only have tmobile sim card
and we all know tmobile only gives you edge
So with this are you streaming from your pc to your tab?
basically yes you need to have it running on your pc in order to stream off your tab but i have to say it does work really good compare to others where you get buffering every now then i havnt gotten any freezes or buffering yet and i watched about 4 movies from netflix already and tons of clips from hulu
just wanted to let everyone knows that Plex is now fully working on the asus transformer.
I cant get it to install, just sits downloading with no info at all :'(
Left it downloading over night, was installed by morning, must of been some weird issue on google's side
Plex is awesome, especially on this Transformer

How do you get it to buffer the video? Mine just sits a 0% and then kicks me back to the media selection screen. Do you have to set port forwarding on the router?
Does it lag when playing 720p MKV files? I don't have my Transformer yet, but I've tested PLEX on my HTC Desire HD and it's lags pretty much when playing the 720p MKV's in 5 Mbps in the settings, changing the settings to 1,5 Mbps works fine but the quality is like crap.
Maybe it's just because of my Desire HD, or my broken graphics card
I couldn't get plex working, installalled the server side app on my Windows 7 x64 pc, installed the Android app.
Set it all up, port forwarded on my router, transformer sees all my movies but each time I select a movie it just shows a black screen for a few seconds and then bombs me back to the selection part again.
MP3's on the other hand all work fine, its just movie streaming that I couldn't get sorted out, all divx/xvid movies.
If anyone has any suggestions or pointers i would be greatful
thanks..just updated it from the market and it works great.. streaming 720p High profile files without any lag
this app is amazing.
just got it from the market....works perfect!
Does this work over internet or just over the LAN.

Have you tried enabling 'direct play' in the options, in the tablet app, not the server?
What's the difference between direct play and direct stream ?.

I don't know.. but I doubt it. It seems that all the work for show titles, cover art, and synopsis are created by the server app.. not the client app on the tablet.
Getting really bad quality on apple movie trailers and so so on local stuff. Definitely not HD. What settings do you use? Think I will ask for refund.

AFAIK Plex uses Direct-stream which downgrades quality based on its detection methods for the device. I've noticed definite quality downgrades on some of my stuff, but at least they play. Plex has been the only streamer that I have gotten to play hi-profile files, but it does downgrade them. Some people think it's a hardware problem with Tegra2, but I have not gotten any player (moboplayer, vplayer etc...) to play hi-profile mkv's without immense lag.
Now all Plex needs to do is get working on doing mkv container subtitles over streaming and it would be perfect!
Plex works amazing. Can't wait for Hulu and Netflix support.
Apple Trailers are bad quality but that was the only thing I coud see. But then again who cares, its Apple.
Hi, noob here with his first thread. I've ordered my transformer with the dock and loved the idea of streaming from my laptop to my tablet but from the scarce reviews which I have read and seen the application doesnt work too well? Can any please look into this in a bit more detail and explain if it works or not?
many thanks
Not sure where you've seen it doesn't work well because I've got MyCloud up and running and was streaming music from my PC to my TF and had absolutely no probs. Smooth playback and only times it jumped were because my PC is having issues and was at stupidly high CPU usage. Other than that works a treat and even checked out a vid and looks to work really well too. Not worked out what I'd use MyNet for yet as couldn't get it working with my PC but seems to be for DLNA equipped devices as had a message to check DLNA devices so guess it's for streaming from the TF to a DLNA equipped TV or the likes.
Mycloud (Splashtop) works very well for me....I even played WOW a bit on my TF with the help of the docking stations, it's absolutely fine to do some simple daily quests on the TF..
ive never got it to stream videos smoothly. not sure if im doing something wrong but playing movies using mycloud is always choppy.

in one particular review the application simply fails to stream any of the files, although after doing some more digging i have seen it working. So is it a case of incorrect set up or does the tablet support only a limited number of file formats? i mainly use .avi and .mkv, wil these work??
I've used it to stream music to my Sony Bravia TV via DLNA and it works fine. I'll test some video once I get some onto the device and post results.

EDIT: youtube.com/watch?v=Zr8iBI_duJs this is the review i was referring to; skip to 3.30. again i dont know if he's got it set up properly but I saw this and began to worry!
Streaming to the tablet has no limitations with regards to file types, remember it's only displaying whatever's on the host so you can play anything your PC/laptop will play. Obviously if you're using your tablet as the host and streaming to your TV/PC/laptop etc then it's completely reliant on what the TF can do. I guess choppy playback and issues are all down to setup and quality of the network. If you have a good setup you'll not have any issues with streaming any files. I have a fairly basic setup with all devices on a WiFi N network and runs well enough

Hi I setup my nexus player and installed Kodi with all the addons and it works like a charm since it came out. Recently I added a shared folder on my windows laptop to access it over Kodi and stream movies/shows on my nexus player. Its over wifi most of them work fine but I tried to play a mkv 1080p movie (10Gb) and it buffers every minute. Tried everything editing buffer size all the tips on this forum but nothing helped. Just for comparison I tried it with my Ipad Air 2 jailbroken with Kodi over same network and the file plays fine not buffering at all. So now Im wondering if Im doing something wrong? on the nexus player? I guess the wifi network is strong since it plays fine on the ipad. Every suggestion is appreciated .Thank you

The Nexus Player should have no problems playing that video so I'm thinking it's probably your wifi. Are you getting full signal bars on your Nexus and which band are you using, 2.4 or 5Ghz?
What version of Kodi are you using?
Have you tried playing the same video through VLC and if so are you getting buffering there also?
Hi thx for the reply. I tried to play the movie with vlc today and its still buffering even more then in kodi. Kodi on ipad is version 14.2 and it works perfect, Kodi 15. alpha 2 on nexus player no problem so far . My wifi router is 2.4 ghz crappy one from my telus internet provider. Im just wondering if the problem is my wifi connection why is it working on the ipad.?
Hi
I have the same problem randomly with Kodi and Archos player too.
I suspect my wifi connection. (I'm sorry that player dont have an ethernet port onboard ...).
I had the sane issue until I switched to the 5 ghz band, now no issue at all. I think the one I played last night was a 15gb mkv

thx for all the replys, I guess the router is the main problem.
I have to say its an issue with kodi
I have used 2.4 and 5gz both disconnect when using kodi and/buff a lot
If i use ES file explorer to play media i have no issues at all and the same with Plex its only when i use kodi itself does the buffering and wifi dc happen, at no other time does this happen so i have had to change to plex untill i get a usb nic for it

I have orded a Inateck Mini 4 Ports USB Hub 3.0 to fix the issue

I heard people recommending the ARM version, i've had weird pixelation problems with most versions of it however. i ended up with kodi for amazon tv, which works pretty well. I have less problems with it anyway...
I should try the x86 version though, since i haven't yet.
I ended up signing up to the kodi for android g+ community and the beta test program so I could download it from the play store which is working great for me.
