[Q] Streaming Media from UPnP Server

I have a 4 TB NAS appliances on our home network loaded with all our family's media. This works great for our other networked devices (blu-ray players, wii, 360, etc) and using the builf in file manager on the G I can map to the NAS. Problem comes whenever it hits some xvid/divx/mpg video files, it just won't play.
Any recommendation of an app that can do media from a network server?

There is a dlna app that comes with the droid x that I don't believe is tied into the framework. I will see if I can link the files for it.

Getting a decent uPnP client is on my list of ToDo's - I'm hoping that we can port the Archos video player over, just for that purpose.

Found a link to the APK, but I haven't tried it yet...
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-discussions/2818-droid-x-dlna-app.html
<edit> Parse Error: There is a problem parsing this package. when trying to install it via Root Explorer.
<edit2>Copied the link wrong which caused the parse error, APK installs correctly and the app runs fine as a DLNA server. ( I didn't verify connectivity), but it force-closes if you select "Network Settings Set up Wireless Access Points" possibly due to the TnT version of Settings?
either way, it makes your gTablet a server, not a client so you won't be browsing your NAS with this APK...
ah well, looks like we might be waiting for kernel source or a custom compiled kernel to get streaming video.

I found an app called UPnPlay in the market that is working really well for me. If you are familiar with the Archos media player this has very similar capability. If you haven't done the market fix you probably won't find it though.
I was just watching a movie streaming from my Windows home server on my G tablet. Played nice.. Took it a few minutes to initially find my server but it did.

Nice tip used it and rockplayer worked perfect

This is a nice app - tried it and it found my media player (PS3MediaServer) fairly quickly. It did crash once, but it's certainly better than nothing.
It plays audio and photos well, but video seems a bit choppy on my setup so far. I have all different types of containers / codecs so I might have to find the sweet spot - Xvid / MP3 / AVI's seem to play best.
Thanks for the find!

No mkv support, but otherwise looks good
Heck, this thing even found our DirecTV HD DVR as well as the uPnP NAS!

I think it's limited by the video player - and MKV support on the GTab is very limited, unfortunately.

Fantastic Find! Thanks Sprdtyf350-

Nice!
This finds my MythTV server. I am able to play .wmv videos on the MythTV server, with the default player. But it is unable to play the MythTV recordings of OTA digital (HDTV). These are a form of mpeg-2 video, similar to what a standard DVD is. If we can find a player that can play DVD files, then I think it will play MythTV recordings too.

ORB LIVE is the answer.
Orb is the Answer to this... if we can make it work.... I use Orblive on my EVO and it works amazingly. I can stream from anywhere and it decodes most files. It runs over Wifi, 3g and if I am on the same network as my server, it goes direct without hitting the Internet. I works GREAT.
But unfortunately, it doesnt work right on my GTAB. This could be specific to my device, but it cannot stream the files. This sucks because this is one of my main uses for buying this device. With Flash fixed, I can stream through the internet via the orb.com webpage. But the App works much better. If anyone that understands the codecs of these things can figure out how to make the orblive app work, it would be amazing.

To the G tablet users using UPnPlay, how do divx files do for seeking/searching? I'm using UPnPlay on my Evo with both Rockplayer and Vplayer and neither searches or seeks particulary well..... or at all. If the video file plays with Androids native video player, it seeks just fine.
I don't want to be forced to always begin playback and the start of the video and not be able to resume where I left off if I have to leave the player/app.

Streaming media from Windows Media Center 7

I didn't see it posted anywhere here, but if you install the Twonky DLNA client, you can stream every piece of media that is on a Windows 7 Media Center PC. I just installed it, and watched several movies, listened to music, and could see all my photos. Didn't do anything at all to the Win 7 box. It just worked...

Cool thanks for sharing. So many projects I could be doing... where do I start? Ha!

Ok, then I have downloaded the right one. Are you running anything on win7 media center at all? My tablet can't find my window 7 share.

Twonky didn't look for Windows Shares -- it connected via DLNA. I don't have my content shared via SMB shares on my HTPC. Twonky saw the HTPC, connected to it, and lets me browse via DLNA...
I'm running vegan on my gtab. Don't know if that matters or not...

Twonky
Dudeinmyrtlebeach...do you have an xbox or other device setup to stream to? The mediacenter PC might not run the server if no extenders are setup.

Make sure u have wmp with the option to stream over the network. Only then u will see your pc in twonky

Thanks. I will try that.

XBOX... I'll bet that's what it is.. I have 2 of 'em set up as extenders. I also have a couple of other tablets (Motion LE's) running Windows 7 that connect to the media center pc.
Maybe that's what it is...

... and I just tried Twonky on my Droid X, and it didn't see my HTPC... I have no idea what gives. Rebooting the X...

Have u checked the allow streaming option on windows media player? I had to let it finish the library scanning before i could see my htpc on gtablet

It works fine on my gtab. Doesn't work at all on the X... No idea...

If you don't like Twonky, there are other options as well.
Upnplay is really good and free as well.
2player is a dlna/upnp client but more focused on music. I like that it can play Windows Media Playlists.
Eyecontrol and Andromote are dlna players that also allow you to control where your media is playing to - so for example you can use it to tell your PC to play something on your TV, or your phone to play something to your radio - etc. etc. etc.
Great DLNA or Streaming software examples are TVersity, which you can put on your PC - share everything you want to share to and it will automatically convert the file if necessary to whatever you're using to stream from it.
PlayOn is like Tversity but the free part allows you to stream only from your local media collection. If you pay for a license, it allows you to watch Hulu/Netflix etc. on your DLNA client. I don't know if this works.
Orb is like a mashup of Tversity and Upnplay in that it streams almost anything to your device - the main difference is that you can achieve the functionality of doing it through the internet at default, whereas the other products are geared primarily as in-network solutions.
Twonky is finicky at best. I have it on my Mytouch 4G and sometimes it works great while at others it stops randomly. This is what lead me to looking for alternatives.
Good Luck.

Twonky
Thanks for the tip, Dude... it is working now, I can see my pics/music and videos... now my desktop is useful again (as a media server for my GTab!)

Orb Fc for me. Vegan 5.1

I have done that on Windows Media Player which has all of my libraray in it, but still can't see the list using TWonky or other DLNA player. I have enabled WMP to stream, and still don't see any libraries.

[Q] Can you stream from PC/MAC to TF101 using myNet?

I'm new to the world of Android having come across from the iPad and thought I'd try to stream from my home MAC to the Asus on the local network.
I installed Skifta and XBMC and managed to stream successfully (although 720p was incredibly stuttery).
Anyway, with the new update I started using myNet, but while I can send from the Asus to my Mac's XBMC I cannot send from the Mac to the Asus - the Asus thinks about playing, then stops. Anyone else managed this?
As a brief aside, should I be using something other than Skifta/XBMC? I tried Homepipe but it don't seem to stream, and there was no Mac server for Androstream as far as I could see.
Thanks!

Hi,
No-one tried this yet?

I've found the combination of UPNPlay and mobo player work great for streaming videos etc from my computer to the transformer. Both are free on the market. I've streamed 720p videos from my PC that worked perfectly using this method.

On a vaguely related note, I'm hoping that the developers of Mirage Beta (find it on the market) will soon release a version for tablets. This app uses the Air Video server (which works great on the ipad) to stream/transcode content on your phone/tablet. It works pretty well at the moment on my HTC Desire, but won't work on the tablet.

I tried this last night for the first time, and while mynet in theory works a treat, finds all the UPnP devices ont he network, finds all the findable folders and media (and vice versa, other machines on the network can see the TF101 perfectly), none of the files i can see will play on the Asus. The default player starts and instantly crashes on any video, music or photo file. I am going to replace the stock one with a couple from the market and see if that helps, although ironically the video stock player on my Archos 70 works a wonderfully over the network.

Ipcress, yup, that is what I'm seeing.
If I use Skifta instead of MyNet all works fine (except those dreaded high profile h.264s.....)

I'm using a combo of Tversity, UPnPlay and Moboplayer, AVI's work fine but no dice with MKV's.
I've heard MP4's work so maybe converting the MKV's to MP4's might work ?.

I got told off the other day for referring to mkv files when in fact they are just containers and pretty much anything could be inside. You have been warned!
Converting using Handbrake etc will work but it is a pain to have to do. Thats why I miss Airvideo and the on-the-fly conversion.
Apparently there is something called Mirage Beta (?) which is similar on Android, but is isn't available for tablets yet.

I was having similar problems, my TF can see the movies on my shared drive, but when i click them it cannot play them using the 'my net' app.
I have installed 'PLEX'
http://www.appbrain.com/app/plex-for...lexapp.android
(and the server on my PC.)
you use the server program and add the folders you want shared, then you use the app and you can stream lots more formats than the 'my net' app and you can specify the transfer speed/bandwidth etc.
the server app grabs meta data for the files you add from the net and adds DVD cover art to your movies as well.
I didnt need to do any port forwarding or anything complex with it installed on Windows 7 home premium, it just works.
It also says it will work over 3G/4G but I havent tried yet.
(ps. on a side note, the few iPhone formatted mp4 files i have on my shared network stream ok through 'my net' so the problem is probably file format related / codec related.)

I also went with Plex after trying several different apps that claimed to stream. Plex was the only product that I found that streamed in HD and the quality looks great! Best $5 I ever spent!
Only downside to Plex is that Im not too thrilled about the interface. It shows all your movies in a grid, I really wish there was an option to display just the list of movies. I have quite a few movies in my collection so loading up all the movie covers can take some time and makes scrolling slower than hell. If they let you sort just by list without cover art, I'm betting it would scroll a whole lot better.

im surprised you had trouble, tversity is supposed to downconvert if needed. Not tried them myself, but this is the same setup im using.

I just got my transformer with the new 3.2 HC and having trouble streaming videos from my PC to my Transformer. I've followed the direction on the manual and also downloaded Moboplayer (moboplayer not seeing the files on my PC). Did anyone find a way to get MyNet working correct??

I've found Mynet to be largely unreliable as there are too many formats that it wont play.
I've found a great combination that works really well, and you can play anything as the video is converted on the fly.
Movie Player: MX Player
This player is capable to playing 720p videos very well, and I found it to be faster than Moboplayer​
UPNP Client: UPNPlay
this program is very easy to use and is used to fine the files​
Server: PS3 Media Server
This server is freeware and works on Windows and Mac. All you need to do is to manually enter your IP address, and make sure you have your android's UPNP Client running before you start the server.​

[Q] DLNA server client for HC 3.1

I have gotten TVersity to work as a server to my transformer running My Net as the client.
I was wondering if there might be a better combination to play my video files on
the transformer?
First try with the keyboard/dock, the delay is driving me nuts.
Luck;

I use Plex on mine which seems to work well.Coming from an iPad and Air Video this program works well and it says it'll work out of your local network as well on the net, though I haven't tried it yet.

I use PlayOn at home and it will send video to my iPad, TF, PS3, and most other devices. It works great for Netflix for me since we don't have the Netflix app working on the TF.
Edit: I know it is a pay for app, but I've been extremely happy with it.

I find upnplay to be great. Basically it just streams the file into another video application of your choice so it supports whatever your player does. I like moboplayer personally, but to each their own.

Serviio works for me...

Confused
Okay, I'm sorry for the newbie question
But everywhere I go to look for Eee Pad and DLNA related topics, i keep reading about people who stream videos from their PC to the Eee Pad.
but that's not what I want.
What i want is, HOW do I steam a video FROM the Eee Pad to the Television, wirelessly, using DLNA.
what app does that?
I haven't bought a DLNA enabled television yet, but i'm thinking about getting this DLNA streaming client for the TV
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...CODE=GOOGLEBASE&cm_mmc_o=VRqCjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE
i haven't bought that DLNA client for the tv yet.
because before i buy it, i need to figure out, how can i DLNA stream a video from the tablet to that DLNA client.
if anyone could please tell me which app definitely works for that on the Transformer, i'd be most appreciative, please, and thank you !

Hi Ken,
Maybe my experience will be of any use to you. So here it goes.
I am (also) mainly interested in using the stock player (MyNet) for videos. For various reasons, primarily because of hardware acceleration. Unfortunately Android audio/video codec support is "pathetic" as well as container support. Probably those are choices due to licensing restrictions. If one does not have files in the natively supported format(s) the only option for on-the-fly transcoding is MPEG4/AAC in Transport Stream. WEBM could be a viable option but MyNet has no support for WEBM, sigh. Unfortunately Android explicitly states that transport streams are NON SEEKABLE (even locally).
I have tried: PMS Server, Mezzmo, Isedora, JR Media Center, Plex Media server, TV Mobili, Serviio, Twonky, Wild Media Server. Apart from the fact that some are not free only a few have support for transcoding into H264/AAC. Some are more configurable than others. Some have features that I am not very interested in, like automatic download from the INet of the covers, metadata etc. The ones that I played with the most are:
PMS Server: can't transcode to H264, free, very configurable, stable
Mezzmo: can transcode to H264/AAC, not free, very configurable, has some stability issues
Serviio: can't transcode to H264, free
Wild Media Server: very configurable, can transcode to H264/AAC, stable, very strict licensing (per MAC address of devices)
All of the DLNA servers that I have tried (even the non free ones) use third party FFMPEG or MENCODER for transcoding. And all exhibit a bug when transcoding the audio into AAC - half of the times the audio is transcoded with a very low bitrate (~6kb), despite correct transcoding settings, that MyNet doesn't want to play.
As you can see "native" client support for Android/TF101 is very limited. I have experimented also with transcoding to MPEG2/AC3 or MP3 in Program Stream container (or TS) and using other players (like UPnP + vPlayer). The results seem better but not without issues (sometimes not fluid, sudden closures of the player etc).
Hope it is of any help to you.
Cheers.

ArkMC is working well for me, basically as good as upnp player, lets you choose a 3rd party player to play your media.... but the gui is MUCH nicer than upnp player.

Hello,
I'm using the free application iMediaShare from Bianor available for free in the market.
this application makes me able to stream all the media from my tablet (Asus TF101) but also from my HTC Desire, on my SAMSUNG DLNA compatible TV, with no cables.
It was also possible to stream others media (like youtube directly from the android devise).
hope it was helpful.
PS : My tv is connected directly to my router with Ethernet and my devices connected to the router via WIFI.

can give skifta a try, it's free from the market.

Thanx for the tip, first time that I hear of Arkuda.
Tried the free version of ArkMC last night and indeed the UI is pleasant. Has a few quirks but it seems to be an early release so eventually they should be ironed out.

I've been using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953084 for long time. It works perfect for me.

[Q] MP3 Player and DLNA?

I'm using Plex to stream videos (movies/tv shows) to my Galaxy S3, Note 10.1 and Note 2.
Only downside is it doesnt supporr subtitles.
It's not great but it does the job.
I havent tried Plex with any music.. I might give it a try some time and let you know.
You might want to try to change your sharing settings for Public sharing on your Win7 since the device is not part of your Windows "private" network.

Tzzzzzz Seems like Samsung ****ed up! Lets hope they bring JB Update soon!

it works!
No Idea why! But i startet up Media Player on my Laptop today and then used media house for remote control! don't ask me why but I also startet up normal media player and pressed "find near" it found the laptop and worked!!!
gotta test if it works on my normal pc too...
Edit: NO it doesn't ! But only the Music library seems broken! Pictures and Videos do work!
Installed Twonky 7 now... that seems to work!

Oh well. i've tested a few DLNA/UPnP Apps on my tablet.
Twonky Beam (outdated) and BubbleUPnP Are my favorite atm. Mainly because they support DMR so you can play stuff from any other DNLA device ON the Tablet! Twonky beam is better because you can play music from Tablet to computer and also at the same tame from phone to the tablet!
If you try that with BubbleUPnP it stops the laptop playing from the Tablet!
But on the other hand If you use Twonky Beam to stream Youtube Videos to the Laptop you can't minimize it! BubbleUPnP works fine minized
BubbleUPnP also has a Player control on the Lockscreen and in the notificaton Menue. And it's easier to use chose server/Device and Library.

I really don't understand whats the problem...my galaxy 10.1 finds and plays all my music that is shared over the network (either from desktop pc, laptops or other devices connected to wifi. Stock music player works flawlesly and finds all music if i choose nearby devices. Another option is allshare that finds and plays media from computers, wd tv live hub and other phones/tablets. So either I don't understand what the problem is, or you are doing something wrong. I can even get music to note from my network server over wifi and then stream it to my dlna sony hifi. It works flawlessly. My only complaint is that apparently dlna doesn't support mp3 tags so you can't filter music by artists, albums, ...

I currently using mediatomb for mp3. Note 2 stock player can connect to it. As for movie Qloud also a good choice. easy and play fast. also can play using 3G.
