Hey everyone,
I've been trying to find a good app to stream video from my mac to my Infuse on Infused v2 Custom ROM but i've tried VLC stream and convert, Emit, Plex, etc. and even with the ports forwarded I cannot seem to connect remotely to any of the servers. They all work perfectly in Wifi but I cannot find an app that will connect to my mac over 3g/4g. Any suggestions?
Thanks

hi,
I'm working on some streaming media app for mobile phones/ppc, and use my Polaris for testing the 3gp rtsp streaming. When connected over the air (hsdpa/umts) the rtsp streaming works fine with the inbuilt htc streamin media app. However when I connect the polaris to the internet either via WLAN or activesync (through the host pc) the streaming doesn't work at all. the streaming media app opens as soon as I click the rtsp link just fine, but then just says can't connect.
Any ideas on how to get it to work via wlan/async? otherwise all this testing might be getting expensive
the htc streaming media app (v 2.20 build 1026.711) is from the stock polaris rom.
alternatively another rtsp 3gp/mp4 player app that works with all connections would be just as fine, but some quick googling around didn't turn up any obvious contenders -- the htc app seems to be pretty good at what it does; except for the connection problems that is...
hmm.. I guess nobody else is either using steaming media on their polaris, or I'm the only one having problems with it... I just don't understand why it won't work over WLAN instead of only OTA...
Exact same problem here. Working well over 3G with any streaming app, however it's never working over WLAN.

I just thought the inbuilt Streaming Media app, was completely useless...
I didn't know it woulld work over cellular and not over wifi.....
You're the first person I've come across who's managed to get it to work at all......!
I use realplayer and the built in windows media player for my streaming..... but as I say, I've only ever tried it over wifi....
I may investigate over HSPDA, 3G, etc.....
How is the windows mobile realplayer? does it install other stuff that integrate everywhere into the system like the PC version (which I will never install again) or is it a well behaved ppc app? And does it work for streaming over wlan?

Sorry I mean, I use Real Player for pocket pc AND Windows Media player for streaming .wma/asx files.
It's well behaved from what I can work out.. It's like back to the days of realplayer 8, when it was a well behaved little application....
As for streaming... I've only ever streamed over wlan.... Including a couple of bbc tv programs....
There is a site for the BBC streams, as they're all rstp files, Real Player won't open the links.. (Don't ask why, I have no idea) but in theory.. the HTC Streaming Media thingy should do, as that's the type of file PREfix, it's looking for...
Is there currently a DLNA / UPNP PLAYER (going from a server to the phone.... not the other way around) for Android?
I believe the Galaxy S phones were supposed to have one? If so, did anyone extract them?
I also would like to know if something like this is available. I can play back mp3 and jpg on my Desire HD, but not video files.
My GT-I9000 Galaxy has a program called AllShare. I just use Media player 12 on my WiN7 machine and it allows me to stream to AllShare. I can play divx movies, tv series, and other videos just fine off my home wifi network.
Gmote for audio works great.
I was looking for more for the video option. I have a ton of divx / xvid on my server.
When I use astro with the smb addon..... I can search the server but then I get an error when Rockplayer tries to play it.
estrongs isn't able to let me login for some reason.
But since my NAS has dlna and upnp I'm just looking for a simple player or app that can search dlna.
I've been looking for an app of this nature for over a year. Still no luck. I would guess that the developers that would be closest to being able to get this going would be one of the video player developers such as Rockplayer or Vplayer alpha. They've already got multi format playback for videos. Now if only they could playback these formats as a stream from dlna/upnp.........
Bumping. With the release of android based tablets dnla / upnp video players are going to be a huge win.
Anyone with a good answer?
Skifta?

I agree, AllShare works great with my Samsung TV and my laptop being the server with all the video files. My laptop has ubuntu with MiniDLNA as the server. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732005 has a link to dlna.apk (which is allshare) weird thing is all the permissions it asks for when installing :/ even wants access to SMS which i thought was weird
for video try http://www.appbrain.com/app/vlc-stream-convert/com.gmail.traveldevel.android.vlc.app with vlc on your pc
if you want only music http://www.appbrain.com/app/twonky-mobile-free/com.pv.twonkyremote works nicely with windows media player library shararing on local network
i've been searching for a good solution for a long time now. I have an ampache server setup now but its cumbersome, none of the ampache apps on android are that great.
Does twonky work over the internet?
no it doesn't but you can smoho get vlc stream and convert working over the internet
The best I have been able to come up with is using UPnP with an app called UPnPlay - in conjunction with VPlayer (which for me is working smoother than Rockplayer).
It's not dlna but it's something.

I have played with lots of different dlna players but by FAR.... the best app is called
iMediaShare - it works perfectly with windows 7/XP (windows media player). You can play music and videos that are on your pc on either your PC (using your phone as a remote control) or play them on your phone streaming them from your PC.
Also there are TV channels like Nasa or Youtube you can use your phone as a high tech tv remote.
Amazing!
P.S My frav before this was Twonk
P.P.S My frav phone browser/streamer is 'Browsix' (again AMAZING!)
P.P.P.S my title is not right sorry, it should say IMediaShare

I see that under video I can see my Directv DVR, Tversity on the home server and can connect to browse videos. AVI's and Mpg4's pllay no problem over the wifi from Tversity. straight mpg's don't.
Anyone apps out there to play from Directv DVR or mpg's over the network? Other then converting all my mpg's or copying them over to the phone.
i tried setting up a upnp and it worked fine over wifi but doesnt seem to work over 4g and im not sure what else i can use to setup a working stream.
if you have the option to set up an ip address in your upnp player, you could try a service like dynamic dns to give your server an outside IP, you'll have to forward the ports in your router, but instead of connecting to 192.168.1.100, you'd connect to myserver.dyndns.com in your upnp app.
how are you getting 4g to the transformer? some sort of myfi?
evo 4g. with the filter proxy to get better speed

Hello,
I'm trying to stream video to my asus eee pad transformer with upnp (ushare) and my tablet is not able to play video even over wifi.
What app did you use on Android as client? Is this a player which can connect directly to your upnp?
Thank you in advance.
Dorgan
upnplay and mobplayer. file were hosted through windows media player. currently look at a render to use to stream
Thank you for you reply.
I hope you'll find a way to read your stream over 4G.
I was having similar problems, my TF can see the movies on my shared drive, but when i click them it cannot play them using the 'my net' app.
I have installed 'PLEX'
http://www.appbrain.com/app/plex-for-android/com.plexapp.android
(and the server on my PC.)
you use the server program and add the folders you want shared, then you use the app and you can stream lots more formats than the 'my net' app and you can specify the transfer speed/bandwidth etc.
the server app grabs meta data for the files you add from the net and adds DVD cover art to your movies as well.
I didnt need to do any port forwarding or anything complex with it installed on Windows 7 home premium, it just works.
It also says it will work over 3G/4G but I havent tried yet.
Also, just discovered, the app UPnPlay http://www.appbrain.com/app/upnplay/cx.hoohol.silanoid is very good, it allows you to choose the app that you want to use to play the streaming movie with,
so you can use rockplayer moboplayer or vplayer etc. I havent found a single file format that wont stream yet using a UPnPlay-rockplayer combo.
still no luck on finding something that would work over 4g beside myCloud.
Y'all, for the past 2-3 years I've been begging around all corners of the Internet for an Android music streaming solution (meaning Android-based Internet streaming server + Android streaming client), to no avail. That is until the other day, when someone suggested I use FTP streaming, Anyway, to cut a long story short, I am now looking for a good Android music player with network (FTP) capabilities. I've tried ES File Explorer (good file manager, though pretty clunky when it comes to music playback capabilities, nor can playback be controlled via Bluetooth (can it?)), and Dice Player (no playlist features whatsoever).
Any other suggestions please? Bluetooth playback control is a must. Many thanks!
Try Twonky!
It is capable of being a host, speaker, server, and it can discover all network servers, speakers and hosts.
The UI is not the best, but the functionality is really great!
Edit: Read your post again, I'm not sure if this is what you want.

Thanks. As far as I can tell, Twonky doesn't stream from FTP (though I'd gladly stand corrected).
WiFi Streaming
way to use WiFi Streaming?
I don't know if this will work for you but instead of ftp how about xbmc? It can use multiple network protocols including upnp. Install xbmc on the desktop to act as a server and on the Android device to act as a client.

Thanks for the suggestion, what I need is an Android-based server that streams music onto the Internet. An FTP server should do just fine, but I need a client that supports FTP streaming.
Have you looked at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829334 might be something in there that you can use

Yes, thank you, that is the FTP server that I am currently using. It's the FTP client that I am after at this point: I need an FTP client that is somewhat more music playback-friendly than ES File Explorer. Does anyone know if any of the following clients fit this bill?
Plex
XBMC
Twonky
Subsonic
Skifta
aVia
iMediaShare
