I've searched and looked through similar threads, but not found a clear/definitive answer on if there's a video player out there I can use to stream video from my NAS to my Nook (CM7). Any idea?
Is there a cifs module for the nook cm7? I know with cifs manager you can watch videos from a network share.
iMediaShare works for me with my Synology Diskstation NAS (it has a built-in DLNA/UPnP mediaserver)

This worked great, -RioT-! Thanks!
The only down-side seems to be that I can't mount my NAS using its name and have to reference it's (dynamic) IP addr, but that's a small headache I can live with. Thanks again.

That drives me crazy. Oh well. I think the archos does it best as far as network shares go.

i know im not the only one who wants this app
Does it install and if so does it crash?
If so, post the logcat.
doesnt install
but do i need to put that odex file somewhere first?
From what I have read you need to push the Dlna.apk and Dlna.odex to /system/app/. I did that and it doesn't list in applications. I am a newb.
make a shortcut to it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7486420&postcount=9
Apparently we need to deodex the Dlna.odex and re-odex it with the proper files specific to the evo?
I am not sure, breaking new ground here myself and not a lot is returned in search results.
I am getting BOOTCLASSPATH errors when I try and deodex with smali. Have to keep digging.
nice work mchlwvr614!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know there are better dlna apps in the market.

Not the best, but i use andromote for my player and twonky for my server app.
TwonkyServer is already in the market, free, and serves up pics, vids, and audio over DLNA pretty easily. Works with PS3 and 360 and I'm sure other DLNA devices. Why not just use that?
Twonky server doesnt work on my evo and many others. Its documented.

Media server, good as dlna. Works with ps3 and my samsung 52" lcd.
Andromote is good for receiving from media servers.
Web Share is good for internet based sharing, like orb
Sent from my badass, superfast evo; over the fastest, cheapest, best coverage-having network.
None of the alternatives mentioned allow playback of video files on our handsets from a dlna/upnp client.
I'd like to stream my movies/shows from my PC to my evo instead of needing to use my TV and PS3 or other media player.

Seconded for VLC Stream and Convert. So, far it is the closest thing to AirVideo if you're familiar with iOS.
You can find setup instructions on the developer's site, http://traveldevel.com/
And adding some VLC command lines to a startup shortcut, you can have it automatically start and minimize to the system tray on boot up.
Something like this:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --extraintf=http
and you can also specify host/port by adding this line
--http-host=192.168.1.3:7070
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.
I have a NAS that I stream all of my movies to my PS3 with. I would like to do the same with this tab, as well as beable to get documents, etc.
What program are you guys recommending for such a thing? Or is it even possible?
Thanks!
No one?

I want to do the same thing. I installed the kernel from dsb9938 which is supposed to have cifs.ko support built in but I can't get it to work. I tried insmod on cifs.ko and cifs manager and nothing works. You need a working cifs.ko module and mount the nasty share to a local folder. I've done this in the past with my phone.

Hey,
I just got an MK808 TV Stick and I it's a pretty neat slick device. Like how small it is, and seems to be pretty fast (but, will probably flash some custom ROM on it soon).
Anyways, I want to use this as a replacement OS for my Smart TV and play Netflix/Hulu (have to root/market enabler to get this)/stream from my personal library, which is all shared on a raspberry pi PC via SMB. My Smart TV is DLNA compliant, but can't play all the different formats that I have accumulated over the years. My new stick TV PC, so far can handle it all.
Whats the best and easiest way to open files stored on SMB drives, and play them in a media play on my stick PC (right now, using VLC do to this). I say easy, in the sense that when my 6 year old kid wants to watch one of his movies he doesn't have to mount a drive via ES file explorer and choose what file from a list of directories like I am willing to do, but more of a "see the cover art, click and play" kind of way. I know XBMC would do most of this (if not all) but it only does software decoding, and I would like to have hardware.
Thanks in advance.
Ive got an ICUBE mk809II, i also have a NAS (nsa310) with my network share on. I use solid explorer and you can map to your network drive with that by adding an SMB share. Hopefully you have root. You can also then do a shortcut on the desktop by doing a solid explorer widget to that network share.
The second way i've used is to download a CIFS/SMB app, MountManager seemed the best, and you a can make a virtual link to your network share which is by default in your mnt folder. If you wanted to use your tv stick as a torrent box, you can map to the network share, and point Adownloader to the virtual link in the mount folder and it will get to your share. Its then easy to bookmark to your SMB/network share by doing a widget in Solid Explorer on your desktop. So with one click from the desktop, your there, I mainly use MX Player over VLC player as VLC was having audio sync problems.

Try MIZUU BETA .
Tried MX Player?
Did, played some of my content, but not all of it. VLC so far is working ok.
Anyone have any idea how to install Finless rom with this? Can't seem to find much information on how to flash it, just what its features are.

Wow zmaki, that was the perfect choice! App works great for streaming from my SMB shares and shows the cotent like XBMC, except with decent rendering!
I have to admit though, I wish the program had its own built in media player with codec support, that would make it the cats ass.
PLEX works awesome, no problems with any streaming and it looks great.

Hi,
The question here is the same issue I have wirh my new android miniPC to let my children (and even my self) an easy access to files stored on my PC.
My device is not rooted (not I'm goind to do so).
The device is conected over the same LAN (wi-fi is disabled).
I saw codlike two solutions ("solid explorer" or MountManager) but both need root, is there another solution?

Hi,
Is there application or method how to access videos from LG TV WebOs - available as Samba/SMB shares on NAS?
I am not talking about DLNA, but direct SMB access.
Thank you!

i'm also interested in this feature because my router only supports samba smbv1 not dlna.
If you find something, please post here.
I know that lg webos can be rooted and maybe make it automount drivers with someking of scripting.
But I don't now how to make the integrated media player detect this mounted folder.
There is some "key" or "reseved" folders to make it detectable? Maybe /media?
Not possible, the best i have found is to use plex server on the nas and the xplay app on the tv, xplay can force plex to play direct without transcoding.
When watching 4K videos it can become stuttering when using a cable because the nic is limited i think to 100m\b,
So the only way to get arround this is to use wifi connection but only the 5Ghz band the 2,4ghz band is too slow.
Well, it is possible if you are rooted and you can compile kernel modules. I've done it on webos 2.x.
Probably simpler is to use NFS. The NFS Module is built in to the kernel on my TV with webos 2.x. You only need the mount.cifs executable. Again, I've done this too on my TV.
Try this?

I have no trouble using the stock pictures and video app on webOS to stream 100GB+ 4k HDR videos. (uj6200)
