I have had my Windows 7 in the list of dlna server for my tf101.
I can see all videos, etc...
But when i try to play one, it always says "Fail to load" on almost every videos...
somes are mpg, avi, etc.
Isn't DLNA supposed to play what ever my windows 7 will stream ?
If it is the case those videos works really well on the windows 7.
What i am missing ?
Have you tried installing a decent media app like V player, Rock player, Zimly etc - pref with one with its own codecs?
Download UPnPlay, myNet is a POS IMHO

I agree UPnPlay works really well, mynet uses the default gallery movie app which won't support most of your vids rendering it pretty useless.

Are you saying that there is a way to get MyNet to use another player? myNet works for me, I can see my videos on my Twonky NAS, but I can't play any of them with the default player of course. As far as I can see, there is no way to use another player with myNet.

So after completing the initial setup. I decide to check out My Net. Finds my NAS and other computers fine. I try playing video, no luck. Can't play anything. I try playing audio. The volume gets stuck on full blast. I try browsing photos. My Net crashes every time I click on a photo. Great first impression.
Installed the update and still having crashes when trying to view photos from my NAS.
The hardware is nice (lots of light bleed though), but the software has a LONG way to go.
Any one having success with My Net photo viewing?

I couldn't get video to stream either. I always get a "fail to load"
Yeah, I can see my videos under DLNA from my WD NAS, but the tablet can't actually play any of them. I assume it is because they aren't in a format that the tablet can play. Which would be... I don't know.
I don't even bother using MyNet as it won't play the videos on my NAS as their either Mkv or AVI so I use File Expert and Rockplayer instead and have no problems.
I can play audios and view photos that are on my PC (Windows 7) using the Pad, it is smooth.
But for videos - I can see them but not able to play back - also thought about format problems (I tested some .wmv files)
from my understanding, the transformer doesn't have xvid etc codecs a la the galaxy so is probably limited to formats like .3gp .mp4 for native playback. video players are available on the market that address this issue but can they be made the default player through mynet?

No you can only use the tablets own player with MyNet, as far as I am aware there is no way to select which player it uses.
I cant even get My Net to see my DNLA (UPnP) server. I have Twonky Server running on my Windows Home Server box and only once My Net was able to see it. Every time I start it, it shows nothing except Transformer itself. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
All other players on my network (Popcorn Hour, Asus O!Play, and old D-Link) see it with no issues.
Can't get this to work either

I'm running a WD "myworldbook", NAS with the videos on it. It also uses Twonky. I can see all the videos using mynet on the Transformer, but of course they won't play. Most are XVID. So it should be possible to get to the point where you can see the videos on the tab if you are using Twonky, but then you are on to the format problem anyway, so it might not do much good.

Thanks, I have no idea why mine is blind then. At this poing I would settle for music and pictures at least... No idea why it doesn't see it.
I downloaded RockPlayer (and Vital Player) and copied some videos over to the transformer but all I could really get to play well was low res avi files.
RockPlayer 720 .mkv software decoding stuttered a lot.
RockPlayer 720 .mkv hardware decoding just showed a big blob on the screen.
RockPlayer 720 .mpg software decoding lots of stuttering.
RockPlayer 720 .mpg hardware decoding wouldn't play.
VitalPlayer 720 .mkv blob on screen.
VitalPlayer 720 .mpg stuttering and sound got out of sync.
Trying to view photos from WHS still crashes My Net.
I got he UPnPlay app from the market which does DLNA well with Win7. You will also need another app to play the videos, I'm using MoboPlayer with their addition codec pack and can stream most videos nicely

Which codec pack did you download for the mobo player? All I saw was codec packs for arm 5,6, & 7 processors. I thought we had an arm 9 processor?

I am running Serviio on Ubuntu 11.04, and the Transformer is seeing it in MyNet. I can browse pictures and listen to music. But I can't play any AVIs. Does anybody have a profile for Serviio that works with the device? If so, please post the XML section.
BTW, my XBox 360 sees Serviio and plays the pictures, music and AVIs perfectly.
I believe it's because of the native video app. Many people suggest using a combination of UPnPlay + Moboplayer or using Plex. I'm currently using the former and it works well for me. I'm using a ReadyNAS to host all my media.
This is the one thing I do enjoy about my Captivate is the native DLNA app and its ability to play a variety of videos.
Yup. Upnp + Moboplayer plays my AVIs. Thanks!

No problem. I'm glad it worked for you too.
Just got my Transformer yesterday and overall I like it but one of the biggest issue that I found is that I cannot stream mkv files from my HTPC to it (or haven't found a way to do it).
Is there a player that supports streaming of MKVs ? Also, other than using Plex is there any other option to do streaming ?
DicePlayer can stream MKV files, on a CIFS/samba share. I suggest you try the trial.
While Dice player can't play a single MKV I've thrown at it (and I tried a LOT of different files) and is, IMO, a complete waste of money I second the CIFS mount suggestion. that's the only way I found to reliably and painlesly watch movies from my NAS.

I tried Dice player and it did not even play my AVIs so I don't know why it is regarded as such a great player.
Is there a noob friendly guide of using CIFS somewhere?
Dice player plays all the MKV's I've thrown at it
Dice player work for me as well. Streaming using upnplay.

Dice player works great on my htc sensation, i can play all my hd stuff, was rather annoyed to find out that my phone can play video better than my tablet though. Apparently tegra 2 struggles with high profile h264.
DICE plays all my anime mkv's, It's by no means the perfect application but it does a good job with support for certain audio streams. I don't regret the purchase.
No problem with Dice Player playing mkv. For streaming from HTPC i use Bubble UPNP or UPNPlay but i think Bubble UPNP is more userfriendly.

I just download the two apps. Bubble is more honeycomb friendly, but it will be a paid app in september.
But, Dice Player through Bubble or Upnplay can't show the subtitle included in the mkv movie file. I have to download the mkv file in order to have the subtitle. Is there another way to do it through UPNP streaming only?

After a lot of trial and error I was able to stream mkv with the following combination
TVMoBili + Bubble + DicePlayer/Mx Player
Only with Dice player, the video does not shutter but Mx Player is the only one that shows embedded subtitles and unlike DicePlayer, I can skip ahead the video.

I use PS3 Media Server which work for ps3 and the ASUS tablet!
But MX Player (free version) is laggy when it come to play a 720p mkv video file. Dice Player is perfect with 720p file. It is a shame that Dice won't play subtitle when it play streaming videos.
Just saying. I'm watching a 720p video on my transformer right now using mxplayer and the armv7 codec for it and its running perfectly and no issues whatsoever.

Streaming wise, I use Qloud and it is awesome.
I still cannot stream MKV.DICE was lagging even for normal videos when Rockplayer was able to make it work well. Will try mxplayer.
Please remember that MKV is just a container, inside that container you can have almost any combination of video codec and audio codec. MP4 is also a container but it has a very limited range of allowed video/audio codecs, so it's much easier to support.
If you are using the Android system video decoding (The only way to get hardware accelerated playback) you will be able to play some 720p h.264 video streams. If you are just using the CPU to decode then 720p will never be smooth.
All these video players can do is try to unwrap the containers (Like MKV or AVI) and _maybe_ do soft-decoding on the audio if the android system doesn't support the audio codec (Like AC3/DTS)
If the player does full CPU decoding for the video stream you won't be able to play HD content smoothly, ever (Things that claim "Optimised for the Tegra 2 CPU" are still just doing the work on the CPU).
This means that there will _never_ be a Tegra2 Android app that can play _all_ MKV's it's simply not possible. This is why people are saying "Plays my MKVs fine" and other are saying "Won't play any of my MKVs"
After spending many frustrating hours trying to stream my mkvs, the only 100% working solution that I have found so far is to use MyCloud app an remote desktop into my HTPC. This way I not only have access to all my movies/tv shows I can play them with subtitles.
I know its not the best solution but at least it is a working one
I'm using Plex to stream movies, but I can't recall if I have tried any .mkv files. Can anyone confirm? If so, OP might want to try Plex... it's pretty slick.

Plex re-encodes on the fly so it'll play anything that the server can transcode in realtime. But the quality will be notably lower.
For SMB streaming I use ES File Explorer.
MX Player for avi's (SW).
MXP loads subtitles from the tablet.
Dice Player for mkv's (HW).
Could someone help with this? I have a WDTV Live HD media player and a Vizio Co-Star Google TV box. I would like to stream videos I have d/led from the internet to either of these devices using the TF700. I have MX Video player and Vplayer (licensed) and Vplayer UpNp plugin. Do I need any of those players to stream or do I need something else? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
In the mynet app there was an option to do this I think. It worked with my tv last time I tried. Also look up bubble upnp
Mynet can do it, but MediaHouse is even better. And for video playback, BS Player is much better than VPlayer.
I use MediaHouse and BS Player now. Used to use Mynet and used to use VPlayer once upon a time.

How can I get MediaHouse to show in the list (the one where you select always or once) or how can I set it as my default media streamer? I have the Default App Manager Pro but when I try to use it to set my default app for streaming video it is not one of the ones made available to me' Twonky Beam and Bubble UpNp are there but no MediaHouse.
Hello guys,
What are your recommendations for streaming applications that allows me to watch video on my android devices.
I prefer the app to have a wide support of video formats. Bonus if it does Audio streaming also.
Thank you

I run ps3 media server on my PC for DLNA, then install BubblePnP on my android to stream the DLNA which plays through MX Player. Works perfectly.
Gotta use DLNA if you want to stream 720 or 1080. You cant use SAMBA its too slow.
- please Click Thanks if i helped.
I love BS player for this..also has lot of features like playing from YouTube,vid formats etc..it has good WiFi streaming performance as well,you just have to share the folder on PC and open file thru bsplayer ..very easy..
thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a shot.
I was aiming for something like installing a software on the pc and then installing an app that will allow me to browse the pc and stream my content.
