Hello
aem...ok, is there a way to make the TCPMP Player to the main player?
If i'm in the net with Wifi and show a video...i want to show it with TCPMP.
its easy, in TCPMP goto file associations and tick the box of whatever file type your trying to play, and then you will always get redirected to TCPMP when you play that file type!
but if i'd like to watch a video with opera in the net - only wm-player is loaded!
Then you need to adjust the Opera file associations, I assume you're using Opera Mobile as Mini doesn't support this?
i use Opera 8.65 - but there're no settings for this!
Does anyone have a solution on the eee pad for playing avi/xvid/etc videos over UPNP or SMB that allows seeking? I have tried all video apps I could find in the market, and found nothing that works well yet. The setup I am running works well when playing and seeking using XBMC on a PC, so it is technically possible.
Here are my observations so far:
Most video players only supports the natively supported video format (i.e. same as the gallery app), that is not really useful for me.
Of the other players, the ones that somewhat work for me are MoboPlayer, RockPlayer, QQPlayer, VPlayer, BUZZ Player, and yxplayer. Notable cases that
just crash: ArcPlayer, DreamPlayer, SeamanPlayer
For reading UPNP there is UPnPlay. However, in my setup, exporting over UPNP with ushare, it appears streaming only work with BUZZ player. MoboPlayer and RockPlayer (often reported to work wih UPnPlay) just seem to get stuck a long time when opening the file, as if they where downloading it completely before starting. Sometimes they play a few seconds of video after that, and then gets stuck again. Seeking does not work correctly with BUZZ player.
For reading from SMB shares, one solution is 'File Expert' which cleverly re-exports SMB-files via a local http-link. One opens the SMB share under 'Network' where clicking on a video file give a choice of browsers; I open in Dolphin Browser, which opens another file dialog where I can chose a video player. This I get to work with Moboplayer, Rockplayer, VPlayer, and BUZZ Player. However, none of them can seek in this stream.
Another SMB option is Astro file manager + Astro SMB module, which I assume is supposed to work the same way as File Expert. However, upon trying to access the SMB functionality in Astro, it just force closes.
Last, BUZZ player has built in functionality for accessing files through SMB and UPNP. I cannot get the SMB functionality to work (the player just don't play the file when clicked). The UPNP functionality plays the file, but seeking does not work.
Other than this I also note the following about the players:
BUZZ Player seem to have audio-video sync problems with many of my videos. It also tends to get stuck very long in "Loading. Please wait..." when accessing its built in network browsing, with no option to stop the operation.
yxplayer does not seem to register any file types at all, so it is a pain to open streaming links in it (figure out URL string and copy, open yxplayer, chose open URL, paste URL.) It also seems to have much less smooth playback than the other players.
Using cifs on Primordial 3.1 I have had great success streaming video over my wi-fi network and seeking works perfectly. I'm not sure if the player matters but I prefer Mobo Player as it seems to be the most compatible one I've found so far.
Ah, of course, I should root the pad to get this working as Linux has very nice remote filesystem abilities. Thanks for the hint.
But, isn't it odd that no one has pulled this off in a non-root market application? I cannot imagine that it would be horribly hard to do using http range requests. (Of course, if it was me, I would have gone for a port of libcurl using Android NDK.)
I finally found a solution for non-root upnp streaming with working seeking!
UPnPlay + LittlePlayer
LittlePlayer is a quite nice player with a software decoder that seems to handle most formats. It is also the first player I have found that uses the honeycomb 'Lights out mode' (the status bar gets blacked out), which is nice.
Now only remains to find a non-root solution for streaming from smb. I wonder why FileExpert's smb->http functionality does not work.

Hi,
Maybe I miss something obvious but I have no issue streaming over Wifi with a combination of UPnPlay, RockPlayer (universal), mVideoPlayer, MoboPlayer.
Once clicks on a video file, UPnPlay browser allows selecting which player to launch (it is a pain that one do have to remember supporting formats for each player). Seeking within a video file does not seem to be a problem.

This is really odd. Have you rooted, or done anything else "odd" with your transformer? I know that the way you describe it is how it is supposed to work, but for me most players just stalls when they should stream (but, it does work with 'Little Player'). I just assumed that this was an issue with Honeycomb compatibility. But if it works for you, then maybe it is something else. What device are you streaming *from*? I am using ushare.
All this said, wasn't there an update for UPnPlay the other day? Maybe they have fixed this now.

Sorry for the noob..
But are three different software, because i don't find in market?
EDIT: Sorry, maybe you made a typo, should be ES FileExplorer?
so i can connect via upnp and associate moboplayer when playing a video
I understand right?
Oops my bad. Yes typo.
Yes once u can see your files via upnp or smb or ftp etc... you can select it and it will ask which player to use.moboplayer with codec pack play all my files so far
try Plex, UpnPlay or just FileManagerHD with Rockplayer
Plex
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.plexapp.android&feature=search_result - also download the PC server program
UpnPlay
https://market.android.com/details?id=cx.hoohol.silanoid&feature=search_result
FileManagerHD
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm.hd&feature=search_result - set up a new network location.
Rockplayer
https://market.android.com/details?...er.android.unified.lite&feature=search_result - use this to play the movies you see with FileManagerHD
Make sure you have shared your folders in Windows and added them to your Windows Media Player library, this will make them visible to the ASUS.
If you are rooted and running one of the CIFS enabled kernels you can mount your share using CIFS manager. Doing this, I can play the files directly from my file explorer using any application that supports the filetype I wish.
You don't need to be rooted to play movies though the file manager though, using File Manager HD and Rockplayer I can do this using my smb/upnp shares.
Thanks to all
I've tryed Plex, but 720p videos run choppy, the others are fine, but are also fine with ES Filexplorer & Moboplayer, like suggested in the first reply.
I will try all your suggested software to find the right combination for my needs.
Hi xperts,
I have watchSeries app in my Note 3 to watch TV series and movies . when i click on any stream link (i.e. Videoweed , novamov, nowvideo etc) that link open in browser and it does not ask to select any player like MX playe,r BS player . It does not work properly ( full screen) sometime in any browser even i have installed flash player and tried multiple browsers ( Dolphine, photon, chrome, opera)
I have tried HUBI but that also does not support all type of links ( vshare, movreel etc ).
Is there any way that i can open video stream links directly in player instead of copy-paste URL from browser bar to players screen.?
VGET is the best option but that has also limitation. It is slow,does not detect lots of embed links . whatseries, videomix and other app does treat it as browser
There should be some plugin for browsers, which detect video stream in link in browser and when we click to play then it should ask to open video in Player instead of running in browser.
any full-proof suggestion would be appreciated .
Have you looked in the settings at the Default Applications and see if that's causing your problem?
Thanks
Thanks for reply. default setting is cleared.
Actaually I am looking something like VGET app. which can be treated as browser and can open video files in Players ( MX player or other )
bcoz Dholphin, Boat and other browsers are not good.
Hi,
First of all, sorry if this the wrong place to ask this question. When I try to open mkv videos with any file browser and I have opera as default browser, the only option available is to download with opera. If change my default browser to, for example, samsung browser, i can choos open .mkv with VLC, system player, etc.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks
