Does anyone know how to stream video (e.g. AVI) from an AC Ryan PlayonHD to the Asus Transformer?
Anyone???????
I have a ASUS Oplay HD2 but i think its the same... install MoService to player with Media Tomb support use Media Tomb for DLNA stream and to TF instal Skifta DLNA app... for me all work great...
hi,
you can also try to use cifs manager to mount samba shares on your android device. Even easier is the use of ES File Explorer in my opinion. Once SAMBA is activated on the playon you can just browse your network via es file explorer from your transformer pad and open/stream directly from the playonhd.
For streaming it's recommended to use r4824 firmware version on the playonhd though since it has trouble's with samba in the newer versions.
cheers,

Hi !
I want to share my files (videos, comics etc) in my computer without copy each file on my tablet.
I use EStrong file manager but if i explore my lan to watch a movie, when i click on a video file the file manager start to copy the file to SDcard.
I want avoid this, i want watch the movie directly from my pc. There is a way to solve this bad situation
I tried to use cifs manager to mount directory on my lan but i'm not able to do this. Somebody, help me !
I installed File Expert (free) with the File Expert SMB Mount Plugin (also free), and my Samba shares work flawlessly - I can stream movies with no issues.
Anothe good solution for streaming movies, music, etc. is via DLNA/UPnP (if your rig supports it). I find UPnPlay (free) absolutely fantastic for that.
Hi, thanks for your answer !!
I tried UPnPlay and it works well but i cannot see mkv files with it and also with dlna or upnp i'm not able to visualize subtitles (.srt and similar).
Can you confirm or i'm doing some mistake ?
Tnx for your help and time, man
P.S.
I want to explain better....I have shared my movies with windows media center catalog, it's correct ? Do you use another application to share your files (avi, mkv, subtiltles etc ) ?
I have installed the smb plugin for file expert but i can't mount anything because i don't have root privileges...
It's possible to root the eee pad now ? And it's safe ?
Please help me with the previous question also. Tnx !
Another option for viewing movies or listening to songs on the eee pad is to just use the Splashtop software in MyCloud>MyDesktop. Works pretty well for streaming stuff.

I've just run some tests, and while I see MKV's with no issues, unfortunately I can confirm I can't seem to visualize SRTs at all
And that's odd, because I use either MoboPlayer or Rock Player to watch movies (I prefer the latter), and both *should* support SRT... dunno, maybe I'm missing something here...
Apart from that, UPnPlay works perfectly for me - I just wish it had a more user-friendly interface, like Asus MyNet, which is almost useless (as it only uses the stock movie player, which doesn't support AVI/MKV/etc.) but has a much friendlier interface (all the servers constantly shown on the left, etc.)

I share them via Windows Media Center on my Win7 rig, plus I have a NAS and a standalone Media Player which each have their own DLNA servers (besides being shared via SMB).

That's very very odd, as I can fully access my network shares, but I have no root privileges! I'm not the tinkering kind of guy... too scared to brick my tablet to try rooting it...
Anyway, I just add them into the File Expert "network" tab, provide access credentials, and voila, accessible.

Mmm... it works, true, but I can't seem to have it run anything better than 1024x768 resolution.
My PC is set for 1920x1080, and as soon as I connect via MyDesktop, it goes to 1024x768, which is kinda awful.
I much prefer PocketCloud (a VNC client) or LogMeIn Ignition (a LogMeIn client) to connect to my PC. I have to scroll and/or pinch-zoom, but at least I can use all the real estate on the screen...

You can change the resolution to 1280x800 in the splashtop options. Sounds like you still have it set to the ipad resolution. My pc desktop is also 1920x1080x2(2 monitors) but it changes the resolution of the primary monitor pretty fast so it doesnt bother me. It doesnt look fantastic but the whole point of the exercise is to view stuff on the eee pad, on which it works great.
One option you might want to explore is to use a combination of the Air Video Server and Mirage Beta from the Android Market.
Air Video is an app on the iphone/ipad that I used for a long time (before switching to Android) and basically does on the fly transcoding on your PC to stream to your device. This means it can show all file formats without the need for conversion. i've tried the Air Video server/Mirage app out on my phone (HTC Desire) and it works very well. I've just noticed that the Mirage app has now been updated to support tegra processors/Honeycomb. I would try it out myself but I'm at work at the moment and can't install anything on my computer . Anyhow, just another option to consider...
I cannot mount SMB share from UPnPlay and I do not have root....
I am trying to stream divx from my NAS server that is DLNA compliant.

How are you streaming from Samba shares with File Expert? When I try to open an .avi file from the network, I can only open it with the Browser or Dolphin HD. (If I copy that same file to my Transformer, File Expert will offer Moboplayer as an application to open it with, though.)

I open File Expert, go to Network, click on the machine I'm interested in, click on the shared folder with the movies I wanna watch.
When I click on the .avi file, the Browser opens for a half-second, and then the system gives me the choice of which app to use to open the movie (in my case, Mobo Player or Rock Player).
This is one of the biggest uses I have for my tablet. I would like something like audiogalaxy but had the vlc stream and convert working on my Evo, but won't buffer on the transformer. Werid I know. Also tried using mobo player but it didn't play the mp4 as it fast forward through it. Didn't try any of my mkv files.

I would like to watch movies stored on my shared hard drive of computer desktop from the Asus transformer MyNet. I can see my share drive on the left hand side of the panel; but when I go to that drive, I could not see the SMB drive where I stored the movies in. Could someone help?
Cant say about My Net, but I can browse Samba shares just fine using Ghost Commander if that's useful info for you..
MyNet is a DLNA client, not a Samba or CIFS client. You need a DLNA server on your desktop in order to stream your media.
I use ES File Explorer and it works for copying to local disk. For direct viewing, UPnplay, Moboplayer and Mediatomb works very well.

Ditto. I use PS3 Media Server. Works very well.
I use serviio on Linux.
you can use Buzz player to browse and play avi files on SMB drives. however, mkv files will not play at decent quality. Buzz player on iOS does better on Android

I installed Ghost Commander and the SMB plug in; but still don't know how to connect with shared samba drives.
Same here, please anybody knows how to connects, let me know!
Try ES File Explorer... it supports SMB streaming and it doesn't copy the files anymore.
Works great with MoboPlayer
Hm.. that should be smart, I actually have Mobo player on my TF.
I only like the double view of Ghost commander, and ES is too much eyecandy for me.
Still, if anybody knows it, please help!
How can I setup the tf101 to access networked folders/files?
EStrong file explorer....
Is there anything I could use to stream movies off my desktop and transcode onto the tablet?
VLC stream and convert in the market and VLC player on the Desktop.
I'm looking for the best way to stream movies from my pc to tv ove my wifi network. I've tried file explorer ES, it works well but for some reason it periodically freezes throughout the movie (generally once or twice) requiring a restart of the movie.
Would appreciate any suggestions on the best setup for file explorer ES or any other programs that might do a better job.
Peace !
I use SplashTop HD for media and it works like a champ for both local and remote (stream) content.
Setup a dnla server on pc. Windows media does this. Then install upnpplay or bubbleupnp on your tab and Dice Player or whatever
ES File Explorer with DicePlayer

hehe, that's not very helpful for the OP
this requires rooting, but cifs+cifs manager+dice player works great for me.

I'd use one of the DLNA apps, such as Twonkey or Skifta. You may need a decent DLNA player - I use BubbleUPnP player combined with Dice Player for video. If your media is hosted on the PC then you won't need a server as it's all built in to Windows.
So far the set-up above (Skifta / BubbleUPnP / Dice) works really well for me allowing such fancy operation as playing a video on my pc that's stored on the Transformer using my HTC Desire to control the whole thing.
The transformer does have a UPnP server built in but I didn't get on with it at all.
DLNA / UPnP is, IMO, the way to go.
@ mace
how do you setup the upnp server on your PC? I tried using BubbleUPnP on my TF, it can detect some music on my PC but most can't play. Thanks

Do you know of an app that plays FLV on Asus?
Maybe Flash player in the web browser?

dice player, mx video player or bs player lite work with downloaded flv's.
Imediashare, there is no transformer version in the market, but you can extract this app from android phone. Works great.
This is not a free or super cheap solution but it is Awesome:
I use Cyberlink`s PowerDVD 11 Ultra on my Win7 PC (which is connected to my 42" Plasma TV), PowerDVD Mobile on My Asus Transformer Tablet. and PowerDVD Remote on my HTC Incredibe (Android Phone). All devices connect seamlessly so you can easily share, play and download media across different platforms.
First off... Power DVD 11 Ultra is simply superb for playing any video file, DVD, or Blue-Ray Disc on your PC.
Then I use the PowerDVD Remote on my Android Phone to command PowerDVD 11 Ultra via WiFi Router.
Then I Can Stream Music and Video to My Tablet using PowerDVD Mobile.
Plus a lot more features.. to many to list (I hate typing..lol)
Go to the Cyberlink website and check it out.. but search the web to save a lot of money if you decide to buy it.. I noticed that the "eCrater" website is selling PowerDVD 11 Ultra "by Cyberlink" (for PC) for $29.99.. I paid more a few months back.
Once you have PowerDVD 11 "Ultra" you can download PowerDVD Mobile and PowerDVD Remote for Free via the Google App Store.
Try weezo 3.0 : Photos, Music, Video, TV streaming from your windows PC to your transformer, remote admin, and a lot more :It's a free App and you have nothing to install on your TF101 !
Android support is new with the 3.0 release, a few bugs left but really awsome !
