Stream videos from PC? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been searching the market and can't seem to find a good app to stream videos off my PC over wifi. I had the Vibrant and loved the app Allshare that it came with.

VLC Stream and Convert

Thanks. I have never set up a VLC media player. Looks like I have some homework to do.

Android to windows streaming? I dunno, you're probably as confused as I am.

I'm a tech at a major electronics retailer. My boss just came in and asked me to find a solution to stream media from an Android phone to a computer. I'm not sure if this is even possible... google and the search feature haven't proven to be useful, but I figured if there's a place to look - this is it.
Anyone have any ideas?
I believe there is an app on the market that uses dlna. Can't remember the name though sorry

All share by Samsung? Only works on Galaxy S if I am not mistaken.
Not that, there definitely was one on the market I'm sure of it!

MLB At Bat Live App

Anyone else using the MLB at bat app? I purchased it with the thought of using it to stream the games live. Only to find out that the Vibrant 4G is not supported! The Nexus S is listed as a supported device though!
What gives? Anyone get the streaming to work? Perhaps there is something out there to fool the app into thinking I'm using a different phone?

Nobody knows how to fake our phones to read as a Galaxy S? I'm still sifting through the threads and searching but until then any input is appreciated.

I bought it on Android Market, downloaded and installed it fine on my SGS4G, streams radio great so far for me.
Is it not letting you download? Or are you just wary since it doesn't say it's a supported device?
Oh, I have it downloaded and installed. But the galaxy s 4g is not a supported device for the live streaming video feeds. But, the Nexus S is!
So I need to find a way to trick the program into thinking I'm using a Nexus S so I can watch the streaming live video.

Anyone working on this? I have the Captivate, but I imagine the solution would be the same. Would really like to get the live streaming video working on my phone.
There HAS to be a simple way to fake what phone the program reads...

All those with a subscription go to site on your browser. It works streaming live video games. Works really good on the Xoom- However, unlimted data is recommended (Sprint). I used 3 GB streaming one game tethered to my EVO 4G.
GOT IT working! I will go more into depth later on my break.

If I play any music off my phone I used to use the Miui Music player on my old phone (Xperia PLAY), but now on the Nexus 5 I use the Walkman music player. Although if I want to listen to all my music collection from home I use the pogoplug app and stream any music or movies from home server to where ever I am.
Please refer all app discussions to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230428
Thanks!
