On honeycomb builds I used to make use of upnp client apps such as upnplay however on Ics builds I have not managed to get any of these to locate my servers. I don't know if this is an app issue or is there something missing from current Ics builds required for upnp to work. I use team Eos builds.

Give that app a try. I spend tons of time looking for a upnp client and that one works great on the xoom.

Thanks but tried that already. Worked for me on honeycomb but like other clients its not finding servers when I run on Ics rom.
I am running the latest EOS everest build on my MZ601 (was running wingray previously) and have had no problems with upnpplay, with content served up from PS3 media server. What server software are you running?

I have several servers I use, windows media, ps3 and pogoplug servers. All used to work on honeycomb with upnplay. Main use was to use experimental wan feature with pogoplug so didn't have to use pogoplug client. Pogoplug client works OK on Ics but now upnplay wont find any servers on network.
Am using same build as you on my mz601.
I only have experience with PS3 media server, have you tried looking in the trace tab for any clues as to why your Xoom is not being found as a renderer?
With latest build it ust started working. No idea what problem was though.

Anyone heard anything about using PlayOn with the gtab?
Would solve the issue with netflix and streaming my dvd collection on the nas box.
I use playon and some of it works, most doesn't. Hulu and Tv.com shows for example don't get past the initial ad. I use UpNPlay to access the Playon server from my tablet.
Playon works good with my PC's but not with the tablet.
Hrm...not really working for me...It can't find a video player to play the feed back successfully....
Bump!
I have the UnPlay app and PlayOn with the mobile settings enabled and the port opened. I can connect to my PlayOn Server Via 3g and via Wifi but I can't get the video to play over 3g... only works on Wifi it looks like it's going to play but then just flashes back to UnPlay! Also there's no cover art (screenshots) being displayed for anything at all like there is when browsing on wifi
I just signed up for the PlayOn Android beta but I don't know if i'll be selected or not.
Would be nice!

There's another thread from the other day on Netflix and Playon. The latest version added Android support to the mobile interface. Make sure you have the latest version installed and go to m.playon.tv from your local network. You should see your PlayOn server and be able to watch videos. I've only tried it with the Dolphin browser, make sure your user agent is set to Android. I even managed to connect to it ouside of my home network with my EVO over 3g and watch a Netflix movie.
This is working for me too. Make sure the user agent is set correctly as Matt said.
Does it seem like if you stop a video on a playon client the server still uploads or continues encoding? It's like the stream does not stop from the server.
playon works for me - including hulu and netflix on vegan 5.1 with Pershoot kernal (first time I've been able to see hulu!)
had to map the port mentioned in the playon settings interface in my router...
even works with the dock and an ethernet connection.
Started testing out the new beta for android support today on my tab and Evo. Works fairly well so far as you switch to the Phone display mode in your browser. A few little issues, but its still beta.
Playon and Netflix
Through Playon, I finally have access to Netflix! PlayOn is an additional cost and it does require a server running on a PC but I think it is worth it (for the short term anyways...).
My location: Canada -- apparently we are 3rd world when it comes to media streaming ...
My setup: GtabComb 3.1 on BL1.1. I have 10.3 Flash and using Opera Mobile and I have the Playon app loaded on my Gtab.
My Netflix setup: I am on the 30 day trial right now.
My PC setup: I started with the latest Playon version 3.3.8.2110 but that wouldn't let me login to Netflix. I contacted the PlayOn support group and they set me up with a PlayOn 3.3.9 patch. I ran the patch and my Netflix login issues went away.
Everything seems to play ok. One quirk with my HC setup is that I have to play the movie in full screen or else I seem to just get audio. I think this is a known limitation with this version of HC/flash. I will report back if I encounter issues.
Is it possible to remote control the Xoom with another Android device like a Desire or similar?
Rather than buying a bluetooth keyboard/mouse or something - I wanted to be able to hook it up to the TV and then remote control it to change Music/TV shows/movies etc.
Thanks
I have just bought my xoom yesterday and was wondering if this was possible. A google took me to your post.
I assumed this would be simple as they are both android play, and there are many android apps for controlling vlc, xbmc etc. so why not the xoom, seen a it does have a hdmi out
Vnc server on xoom then vnc viewer on phone posted a topic about this works like a charm but it can get laggy
sent from my Motorola XOOM
I did see that there is a vnc server. That i could install on the xoom but I don't want a full remote destop, just media controls. Is there even an application for this?

which VNC app was that - and also do you need to be rooted? the couple I glanced at said *ROOT*
I was actually thinking of this last night for a BT mouse (using my evo as a BT mouse on the xoom)
I am also looking for this.
My scenario is this:
I recently bought a cheap headrest holder so that the Xoom can be used as a backseat entertainment center, but it would of course be extra cool if I could use my rooted Desire Z/G2 as a remote from the frontseat to start/stop movies etc, maybe via Bluetooth or something.

that sounds awesome, i cant believe there isn't much out for this. Especially as the xoom has a hdmi out (which works flawlessly btw)
Bump
Hey, I've been searching for something similar. We just ditched cable and are using my Transformer as a media center. Would be great to use my DX as a remote to switch YouTube videos, etc. Anything out there? Still looking.
Wiimote
Just a thought. Wiimote Controller gives you a free down and dirty remote control. Not nearly as nice as a Bluetooth keyboard but its extremely cheap and cool for playing games on the big screen as well as controlling YouTube/leanback
There is an app that you can control your xoom with android phone.
DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
Check the market for an application named Tablet Remote.

this is exactly what you need.
I've been pondering something along these lines. Only I would use the new wifiDirect API. Only downside is both client and server would have to be wifiDirect capable.

Awesome idea. i´m searching for something like that since i have a xoom (and a lg optimus black, also wifiDirect compatible).
why not integrate a fallback to vnc if no wifiDirekt device? direct connection over vnc is simple if one device tethers to the other.

is a no-frills option that worked to control my Xoom from my Archos 32.
So I have a 2007 Macbook running Snow Leopard. I want to turn it into a file and media server/personal cloud I can leave in a closet at home. I want to be able to store files on it and stream media from it accessible from windows PCs and my GNote 10.1.
Any ideas on software for the macbook, PC and Android tablet that can accomplish all of this?
Have u tried to ask in apple forum?
There might be more users know. This type of question, will be answer faster by apple user/dev, since u want to use ur mac as the server.

Yes. Find a Linux distro and install it. It'll come with all of the servers you need. Just configure and start.

No one who responded in Mac forums had any idea how to do what I wanted. I will probably go the linux route. Thanks guys.
If this is going to be mostly for media files, have you thought of PLEX or even PS3 media server for osx?

Ah yes, I forgot about Plex. I think I will have Plex regardless, but wanted something that can handle a bit more than media too. Thanks for the suggestion! I will also look into PS3 media server.

One other thing you could do, if you can find the builds, is just download and install Apache http server for web access, U-Share for UPnP access, and Samba for Windows file sharing access. For any other servers you need, just install programs for them as needed. There's all kinds of different single-purpose server programs. That way you could keep OSX installed and usable. I did the same thing on a Windows XP machine a while back. However, I eventually ended up running so many different server apps that it just made more sense to turn it into a dedicated server and I installed Fedora linux. That machine's still up and running today. It's just a suggestion.

You can use basic SSH and a app that can stream from ssh to a video player, ex FX Explorer + MX Player. With this potent tablet, you don't need any transcoding, it has the best HW decoder available.
If you need it to be accessible only from internal network, then you should use SAMBA server (basic windows share).
As an OS, i am recomanding Ubuntu you can do bouth type of sharing with ease !
I have an android TV stick running ics and I'm not happy with the `ease of use` with my infra-red keyboard and mouse.
I was thinking of using a vnc server on the stick and running the client on my kindle.
I use YouTube and movie streaming from internet and LAN most of the time.
The thing is I wasn't able to find a working vnc server.
Is anybody else using those android TV sticks?
Would it be a good solution to operate the android tv stick?
Thanks for any ideas?

i'm also interested, from google play of my sony tv w808 there isn't nothing
i would also like to have ssh access to my tv
There is a new app now: droidVNC-NG. This might work for you. It worked for me following this android VNC server guide.
i've been using similar apps like Skifta or twonky beam to serve videos from my tablet to my DLNA smart TV.
one limitation i realized is that they either only stream LOCAL files (on tablet), or stream from selected websites only.
is there any app that allows true mirroring of the tablet screen to my TV? i.e. there should be no restriction in the website i want to stream from.
i'm using HP touchpad on the latest CM nightly build.
TIA!
anyone knows?
I would like to know but as long as I've searched I didn't find anything that would mirror ur phone screen to TV, maybe vlc (the way it's fine one computers)
As for streaming any website it may be possible but no app as of now
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
seeing how Airplay is a huge success on apple devices, i'm confused why android doesn't offer a similar solution. still on the lookout for an app that can mirror anything that i stream from a website, from tablet to TV.
Imediashare is great. Not sure if it can do any website though..
