Just wanted to point out that the popular Plex app is on sale on the Amazon market today from 4.99 to 1.99.
I picked this app up today because it was on sale... and I have to say it is insanely good. You guys with large media collections on your PC's are going to want to check this out.
I use Google music and audiogalaxy.
how is this different?
With Plex you can stream your movie/tv collection directly to your tablet/phone.

Local network or remote as well?
Is it better than Skifta? I just installed the free beta and it works like a charm. I do wonder what they will charge for it once it's out of beta.
Does Plex let you choose the player?
I read the description and you need to have a PC running their software. I think I'll stick with Skifta as it uses DLNA server on my NAS, no computer necessary.

You can use DynDNS to access it remotely. They have a tutorial on their wiki page.

Hello all,
I've been trying to (rather unsuccessfully) remote access my home pc's music files via LobsterTunes on my HD2.
I'm using TVersity to sync from my home pc to the phone and while LobsterTunes does find the media server and lists my media, when I actually try and play a track it just continually buffers?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I havent tried winamp on my hd2 yet, but i used to use it on my tytn2. it has a media server service. Allowing access to my pc.
i forgot about it till you mentioned it. hmmmm. may go investigate that again.

That sounds interesting, I've found WinamPAQ 1.0 after a bit of Googling, is this the version with a media server service?
Thanks
I just checked. Go to winamp.com and download free winamp to your pc. register for the winamp remote service (also free) and simply log in on ur phone browser. there is a mobile site, i dont have the address to hand.
I never use winamp, but my ps3 on my home network works better using this media service to stream films and music.

Cool will give that a try when I get home, thanks!
I've also just been looking at Orb, seems to be a fairly simple way to share media between your home pc and hd2, yet to try it though but will post findings if anyone is interested?
Is there DLNA app available for X10
Not that I have seen but I do belive that SE are including one with the Q4 update, just wish they would give us more info
Which apps have you tried? There are alot of DLNA apps showing up in the Market...

All of them are BS. They either transfer X10 stuff to the PC which no one gives a **** about, or it just straight up doesn't work.
We need to get PS3 Media Server working on the X10!!! It'll transcode ANYTHING I throw at it. I stream BluRays across my house via wireless to my PS3 while my in-laws download huge movies and crap via wireless too. PS3 Media Server is amazing. I'd pay $20 or more for a working DNLA program that works with PS3MS!!!

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.

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.

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
I'm looking for an android app (or even a web interface) that will allow me to:
-stream live TV
-stream recorded TV
-stream videos
-view the TV guide
-manage TV recordings (set and stop recordings)
From windows media center.
I have searched a lot and found numerous apps to remote control wmc but not the features I'm looking for.
My current setup is a HTPC running windows 7 enterprise with a ceton infinitv 4 tuner. I have used orb in the past but orb does not work with the infinitv cable card.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have heard about remote potato and the remote media center app but from my research it does everything I want EXCEPT stream live TV.
Wow orb was an option for free i don't know about recording
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Ya I liked orb. Any other options?
I don't think any android phone right now could render WMC recordings. I have WMC setup with a HDTV tuner and even my prevoius 1.8Ghz computer could not handle decoding.
I haven't found any uPnP servers that don't suck. uPnP in general to me just sucks.
Try WinTV Extend. Its now for android.

Thanks for the suggestion but I wanted an app that worked with windows media center. If it allows me to stream live TV I guess I could just use that app and then another to watch and schedule recordings on wmc
Check out the ipad version on youtube for a demo. Its made for wmc. Its doesn't seem bad for $10. If you have a dual tuner you can watch and record at the same time.

So I checked out the youtube demo but no where does it say it works with wmc. I also tried installing wintv on my htpc but it won't install since I do not have a hauppauge tuner. I only have a centon infinitv quad tuner. I'm going to assume wintv only works with their tuners.
Yep. The software interfaces only with their drivers. Tv tuner cards are super picky with drivers... be glad its not the nightmare linux is with mine

Oh trust me I know. I've tried setting up mythtv with my old tuner and it was horrible! There's no Linux drivers forvmy current tuner so I have no choice but to use windows. But honestly I love wmc and there are very few ms products I can say that about.
There used to be a plugin for WMC called webguide:
http://web.archive.org/web/20100105155914/http://asciiexpress.com/webguide/download.aspx
Support has expired (still works on XP or Vista with older version of wmc). Researching for alternatives has brought up this:
http://bigscreenglobal.com/bgproduct.aspx?PID=BSRV1
It should work via android browser. No live TV though :/
If you want live TV your going to need additional hardware (slingbox, VULKANO, hava, Broadway)
I have a similar htpc setup and was looking for the same thing. The hassle for live TV is making it way overrated for me. Streaming of recorded content seems like the best solution.
Sorry to bump an old thread. Any progress since 07/2011?
I've been using WMC + slingbox since 2009 for this.

It can only be done with 2 types of hardware:
Slingbox or hauppauge.
Otherwise you can just stream your recordings via plex or pogoplug. I am to busy to watch something live so plex works out best for me.
If your a sports fan then just buy one of those streaming season passes and split the bill with 5 people.

It does live TV over android with Remote Potato as well
This thread has been dead for many years. Now it is almost 2015.
I have a WMC on my PC and it has as a PCI turner. I get my programs free OTA and record to this PC. No cable box or dish.
How do I watch my record TV or live shows from my PC to my Android phone?
Any ideas?

I agree, you should have started a new thread, but I use Remote Potato on my HTPCs running off a Ceton InfiniTV ETH 6 network tuner. On my mobile, I use the Remote Media Center paid app to schedule and stream recordings. A bonus is that RMC has a built-in remote control screen that interfaces with Remote Potato's IR helper app...

Thank you very much! I didnt know this.
I got it working on my computer and can watch n record my show thru the webpage.
However thru the phone its a little problem. I can see my recorded show and TV grid, but I cant play it. Do I need to install a separate app for playing? The RMC app cant play movie?

You're welcome. You need a media player app, but if it's encrypted or DRM-protected content, you probably won't get it to play on anything but the device which recorded it.
I myself use MX Player. It's free.
I want to be able to listen to my entire itunes through streaming onto my Nexus 5 and I know there's apps which do this like Doubletwist. But the problem is my desktop does not run through wifi, its a wired connection. So I was wondering if theres an app which doesn't need the same wifi on your Android device as your desktop.
Thanks
Have you tried the apps? Usually if the computer is connected to the same network by Ethernet it'll work for apps that use it, I know things like WiFi mouse etc do. Or ditch iTunes and upload your music to Google play, it'll take a while but you'll save hours by not having to use the worst piece of software in existence.

If your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can control and listen to iTunes, even though the desktop is not on the wireless. My home system is like that (the primary desktop mac is a wired ethernet into my LAN and has its wifi card turned off).
In order for your N5 (any wifi client) to work this way requires your wireless (wifi) router to be in access point mode (which is NOT the default), not in normal router mode. How easy this is to do depends entirely on your particular wifi router, and your skill at configuring it.
(When your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can use AirBubble on your N5 to receive the audio from iTunes on your desktop machine, and you can use Remote for iTunes to control the running iTunes on your desktop. Works very well).

You could try subsonic. it wont interfere with itunes ( ugh ) and it will convert your flac and ogg and movie files on the fly too. Then get dSub for your android and you will never use itunes again. Subsonic is a free open source media server you install on your pc that streams to your phone or any device, no clunky uploading to the cloud. Dsub is a pay for app but I have paid for it twice its that good and dev works hard on it, constantly updating it.
subsonic here
dsub on play and forum if you want to see what up with that
forum 4 dsub
Honestly once you try this you will wonder why you havent heard about this before it's so easy.

load that up and then stream from the demo server that it comes with , see how good it is. And some interesting music from Norway there too

So far, the problem I'm up to I think is the port forwarding. Seems the custom URL for your name doesn't connect and possibly due to not successfully port forwarding. I am also using my university's wired connection. Could that be why?

Go into your router settings > Go to port forwarding > Give it a name Music Streaming > Enter the port and forward it to the internal IP.

Scratch what I wrote. I didn't see you were on a university network. Not sure you're going to have much luck with port forwarding.
