DLNA player for Android?

Ok, I use TVersity/PS3 Media Server to share my media to my TV/PS3/360 for viewing on the TV, and now i'm using PlayON to eventually replace it.
I was wondering if there is an app that anyone knows of for Android that will play DLNA shared content (over 3G/Wifi)
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated
now i just have to find a set of TV cables for my Incredible

Twonky works for PS3 but not 360.

sorry, i should have clarified, I want to be able to see my media server content on my phone, not from my phone to my PS3/360.
Thanks though, i may have to look that server up

I think I recall reading the Samsung Galaxy S will include a DLNA client and server app.
simply google samsung dlna, there was a posting on phandroid about it. (i would post the link but new account, first post, etc)

While I have DLNA on my Samsung TV, every search i did for the DLNA component of Galaxy S says sharing to the living room, not the phone.
I need it to be from the PC server to the phone via DLNA, not the other way around
Thanks for the info though, didn't know Samsung was making an app for Android
i hope to find one
one thing i found interesting while searching through the list of managed applications on my Incredible was, I found that theres an application similar to the one on Windows Mobile by HTC called "Streaming Media Player by HTC" but i can't find anywhere to run the application, its like its "hidden"

Free player that works on Galaxy tab
Try Vplayer (free) that was just released on the market. If your server or NAS has basic http viewer (Twonky or otherwise) you can navigate to your media files through a browser and long click on your file and select vplayer as your preferred player. This has worked flawlessly on my galaxy tab.
Also if you have access to the pay market I've seen that Plug player was just released that should be able to playback videos straight of the server without the need for browser access.
This was the last thing my tab wasn't able to do so now it's complete and perfect..

supply this link for you: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/dlna+player
this site lists dlna player for android, hope you can get you want

Hey I know what you're looking for, however no great solution for Android yet, the following is a list of programs which will work, but none are perfect, a lot have some features not all, and 3g streaming is sketchy, anyway check em out see if any work for you.
Qloud video
RedDONUT
PLEX
MIRAGE
VLC Remote
I am still hoping airvideo will someday become available for android, this is the perfect app for this in iOS

Look up upnplay on the market. I've been using it for a couple months now and it works perfectly for me.

That app is used to watch videos through the browser such as Skyfire in Android mode rather than Desktop mode.

they have a dlna player on the Droid X. i might be able to pull it from it tomorrow. you can see if it works from that.

A lot of these streaming bundles are a specific server and client pair...
I installed a generic DLNA server - TVersity and then installed one of the many DLNA browser/player apps from the market.. My Samsung Charge already has one on it - allshare..
On my tablet I settled on bubbleUPNP. It allows me to browse the video audio etc.. and play the media on the media player on the my choice - MXVideo..
No specific player/server combination is needed.

Try Skifta.

PLEX Update
PLEX has just been updated and the latest server version and client allow you to stream all your media to your phone via 3G or WIfI, best of all, all you have to do is login to your account on the server and on the phone and it just works. I have been waiting for an app to do this on Android for a long time, PLEX is now my number one program on my phone.

How is plex compared to emit?

watch on tv what's on the phone's screen
hi guys,
is there any way to stream through a dlna server what is showing on the phone screen? it would be nice to sit in front of my tv and surf the internet on a 56" screen instead of a 4" screen.

Another option
I set up my videos folder on my HTPC as a network share, and installed esfilexplorer and mxvideo apps. I just connected via wifi in esFileExplorer and select videos and play them back with MxVideo works great. I am doing this on a Lenovo IdeaPad K1.
I also run tversity and can connect to htpc via web interface if I am not on home network, works but web interface is pretty basic and load times can be long on large files.

Bubble is great and it controls the volume on my tv yaaaaaay

Skifta is probably the best for DLNA client/server on Droid that is free (if you want you can setup their PC server for playing the media on your comp anywhere via 3G/WiFi even at a friends and if you want you can even remote access your home DLNA server from your friends house then use your Droid as a bridge to any DLNA client on that wifi network. It's pretty cool.
If you're a TVersity fan/lover, just enable web access and use their flash or mobile relay interface to watch over 3G or Wifi (but you'll need a streaming player like MX Video or alike to watch remotely instead of downloading then watching).
I myself use Skifta only on my phone and combine TVersity on my PC with web portal activated and MX Video to watch everything.
(Twonky is good if you have an Internet TV but costs money and their help desk is ****).

[App][2.2+] DreamStreamoid - TV everywhere (3G with android, VLC and dreambox)

I’d like to introduce DreamStreamoid.
DreamStreamoid is an android client for enigma2 receivers (e.g. Dreambox, VU+, IPBox, QBox).
The focus is on the streaming of TV, radio and recordings.
You can easily stream channels and recordings, switch channels, browse the EPG, choose bitrates and scalings via the mobile phone and much more.
It is possible to stream your audio and video content to your phone where ever you are, if you have at least a 3G internet connection (over a VLC server).

Hey
Very cool app - works great!

Great, works well - any chance you can add support for SSL?

Possibly!
The problem is, that VLC doesn’t support https!
And using the enigma WebIf over https, the way other tools (like dreamdroid) are doing that, doesn’t seem much more secure!
In a other thread, I’ve found this:
The problem with https is, you can never be sure, that the box you are talking to is your receiver.
Because every dreambox has the same certificate! Or am I wrong?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That’s certainly right!
It would be most secure, if you create a own ssl certificate and exchange it between phone and receiver.
I could imagine to write a ssl proxy running on the VLC-PC or receiver.
The challenge is to make it easy to use.
We will see…
If anybody has a different opinion – please, let me know!

Hello
It seems, that several users have problems to configure DreamStreamoid, especially 3G streaming.

Tool to restart the vlc service process?
Hello Torsten,
First of all, thanks for this great tool!
But I've got 2 questions:
1) After I've watch one channel via 3G and I want to watch a other channel then 9 out of 10 times I only hear a sound chip and then nothing happens.
After I restart the VLC service process (which is allot faster to do then to reboot the whole machine (which by the way; the pro plug in works great ) then I can watch successfully to a other channel.
So can you upgrade the pro plug in so that the user can choose to just only restart the VLC service process or the server?
(My config; Latest VLC version (v1.1.11) and Win7 64-Bit).
2) Is it possible to use fast forward (or skip to xx:xx time frame),etc, when 3G and VLC is being used to watch recordings? (This seems only to be working locally when using Vplayer).
Thanks in advance!!

Until now, I've never heard of this problem.
It looks like your computer is a bit too slow.
Do you try to stream HD channels?
If you want, you can send me the VLC logs.
Perhaps I can find out anything.

I have dreamstreamoid up and running over 3G just great - BUT - when I select another channel (zwap) the reciever does not change channel so streaming fails.
Any sugestions?
For the time beeing I use anoter app to change channel then request stream - OK

Hi matsene
DreamStreamoid doesn't switch channels on your TV.
If you use a receiver with only one tuner, you can turn your box into standby.
That will solve your problem.

OK - then i suggest that you add functionality so that I can control what channels to stream from the dramstreamoid - avoiding the need to use e.g DreamDroid to switch channels.

Hi! i am strugling to get the enigma plugin to work, i ahve vu+ duo and copied the dreamstreamoid folder to extesions folder. set passwords and port and opened ports in router. but i do not know if it is running or not ? I can not turn on vlc pc, so something is wrong...
Can someone help?

Hi praun
The plugin runs in backround.
You can't see anything!
Sometimes I will enhance the plugin with a log window or something like that.
It is probably a problem of the configuration of your PC.
You have to enable WOL in the BIOS and Windows.
Perhaps, you try a WOL Client from a second PC or try a WOL-App on your phone.

it possible my pc on work as a vlc server pc ?
im new here i like this software from all other apps because it the only one can stream to 3g.
the problme is that i dont whant to use my pc on my home as vlc server so my question is
if it possible to use my pc at work as a vlc server ?
(my pc at work is online 24/7 and i have control to open any port there it behind fortiget firewall)
if it possible how to do that ?

Hi avinaimi
It could be possible, if you have a very high upload bandwith at home.
I would say at least 7-8Mbit/s. And you should use a VPN. Otherwise it is not secure.
You could use the PRO version. With that, you can switch your PC on and off from your phone!

how does dlna suppose to work in sensation

I have htc sensation and galaxy 10.1 tab.
If I start allshare in galaxy and want the video to be shown in htc sensation,
what applicaition do I need to install?
Is sensation a server only DLNA device? so it can only provide media to others.
Thanks.

Pretty sure its only a server.
Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod

Sensation is a streaming server. You need a client, like a DLNA enabled TV (like the latest Sony Bravia LED TVs) or Windows 7/Mac OS enabled machine with streaming on to play back the videos.
You also need to be on the same network (like home or office LAN). Sensation detects all playback devices automatically and starts streaming.
It's pretty cool too, I love this feature. Gives me the option of not buying a stereo dock, I can just use my TV to playback music.

Thanks. can I make it a streaming client?
e.g.: others with sensation could just watch what is from streaming server.

Unfortunately, I haven't tried that. But how it should work - if it supports playback from other DLNA devices - is that you should be able to find your "Sensation Z710e" in the list of streaming clients in Windows Media player (for instance). I can, for e.g., find my TV in that list. Same should be true for the Sensation.
Let me get back to you on this, I'll give it a try.
But logically you should stream from a smaller screen to a larger so everyone can see what you have on your hand-held. Can't think of a scenario why you'd like to do it the other way round - cell phones are more personal .

Just a general question.
e.g. there could be a situation where 10 people with sensation and want to share a media or picture. In this case one of the sensation could be the server and others could be the clients.
I have galaxy tablet 10.1 with allshare. I could not connect sensation with tablet. Seems that they can only be the server. odd.

Don't know of any real-time collaboration features in the HTC Sensation, but would be nice though. DLNA is not the choice of protocol for this though.
Your solution would need a server maintaining lists of clients (or one of the phones could act as one) and the rest would connect and get shared content from them. Haven't seen any app on the Market that does this kinda P2P.
P.S., tried the Windows Media Player stream list, HTC Sensation wasn't listed there among the set of DLNA clients that can play the stream. Sorry, bro.

thanks. Now understand a bit more about DLNA, something so so.

I ran into an issue with this still don't quite understand it. But I was able to get it to work once on my pc. The pc had to have the media player open before ny sensation was able to find it. But now I can't get it work at all. No settings have been changed since I was able to get it work. So Idk hopefully HTC will come out with a fix. Or maybe someone can come up with a definitive answer to all these questions. DLNA on the sensation seems to be an issue for a lot of users

maybe someone can make a quick tutorial?
I would love to watch photos and movies from the sensation on my PC without cable.

The guy above has done it pretty nicely, though he had his client-servers mixed up. Also, the playback quality on my HD TV was outstanding, no run-time compression (come on, it's a mobile phone, who are we kiddin ) and the playback had no lags. Also, I can play it from anywhere in my home - even outside if I can get a decent enough signal on my WiFi.

It can act as a server to an Xbox 360 for instance, but the Xbox must be in Media Center Extender mode for it to work, meaning you need MCE running at the time.
Now with W7 the Xbox will log into the W7 computer as a service account and start MCE for you (once you've done the initial setup of course), not sure about Vista.

You can do the same thing from the Gallery app to allow you to stream video FROM a DLNA device (via Windows Media Player on Windows 7 PC in my case) to the Sensation.
Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. My girlfriend can do the same on a Sense 2.1 ROM I put on her Desire, but I couldn't work out how to do it on my new Sensation (now I have INXS in my head) because the 'Videos' app of old is gone. Now Santa can buy me a nice big NAS for Christmas and I can put all my film/tv shows on it and watch them in bed! Unfortunately I doubt 'santa' is reading this because she, I mean he has a life.
By the way, if it helps anyone, in Windows Media player on a Windows 7 pc, click on the 'Stream' drop-down menu on the Library page (top left of) and choose the options you want to enable. For me it's 'Allow remote control of my player...' and 'Automatically allow devices to play my media'. If your Sensation and your PC are connected to the same router, you should now be able to stream media from your phone to the PC, AND also view media from your pc on your phone : )

[Q] Wireless Content Sharing - Tablet to ...

Hi All,
Do you know about an application that will allow the following share between (let's say) a tablet and a TV :
You play a movie on your tablet and you want to share that movie from your tablet onto your TV via wireless network.
So basically I want to see the desktop of the tablet sent via wireless to another device (projector,TV,S2,another tablet,etc) just the way you see (for example) the content of the tablet on the TV using a cable adaptor from S2 / Tablet to HDMI.
I have found an app for S2 that allows you to see the content running on your Smart TV sent via wireless to your S2. App name is Samsung Smart - > the feature name is Dual View
Also, I have found an app that allows you to connect your S2 and your Samsung SH100 camera (app name : Remote View Finder) that allows you to see on your S2 what the camera is seeing.
Thanks

[APP][4.0+] vGet: Stream, Download, DLNA/UPnP of Embedded Videos

I've released vGet (Play Store) as a tool to download HTML5 videos from any site for later offline viewing.
It works as a simple web browser, but instead of playing the videos directly it allows to download embedded videos or play them with a player of choice. This also works for many flash videos.
It includes has an integrated download manager that supports multiple concurrent connections to speed up downloading form slow servers.
It has two browsing modes:
Desktop/Flash Mode: Pretends to be a Desktop Browser with Flash support. Some sites only show (flash) videos if they detect a desktop browser. It basically extracts the video URL used by the Flash Player. This only works if the video is a static file - which it is in most cases. But as there is no canonical show a video with Flash it can fail to extract the video URL. It also does not work for RTSP or live streams.
Mobile Mode: Pretends to be a Mobile browser without Flash support. Some sites support HTML5 videos, but only use them if Flash is NOT supported by the browser (which is kind of silly but it happens). This should work an all sites that use HTML5 Videos. The only exception that I am aware of is HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) which is currently not supported by vGet.
HTML5-Videos are also detected in Desktop Mode - if used by the site.
NEW: vGet (v0.3) now allows to play (cast) videos directly on a DLNA-Device (for example your SmartTV, XBoX, MediaCenter, AllShare device etc.). vGet instructs your SmartTV to streams the video directly from the Internet. The video stream is not relayed though vGet. This saves battery and even allows to turn of your Android device completely while the video keeps playing. Please note that this feature is still experimental and depends on the capabilities of your DLNA Device.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

The link in the second posr seems to be broken. Just search for vget - should be available in Italy.

The correct link is :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mb.videoget

@d3xp2pc:
I tested it on some video hosting sites. It has two browsing modes:
Desktop/Flash Mode: Pretends to be a Desktop Browser with Flash support. Some sites only show (flash) videos if they detect a desktop browser. It basically extracts the video URL used by the Flash Player. This only works if the video is a static file - which it is in most cases. But as there is no canonical show a video with Flash it can fail to extract the video URL. It also does not work for RTSP or live streams.
Mobile Mode: Pretends to be a Mobile browser without Flash support. Some sites support HTML5 videos, but only use them if Flash is NOT supported by the browser (which is kind of silly but it happens). This should work an all sites that use HTML5 Videos. The only exception that I am aware of is HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) which is currently not supported by vGet.
HTML5-Videos are also detected in Desktop Mode - if used by the site.
Let me know if you find a site where it is not working as expected.

BTW, also if you're missing a feature or have suggestions for improvements use the issue tracker or just post them here.

DLNA support
Version 0.3 adds DLNA-Support:
vGet now allows to play (cast) videos directly on a DLNA-Device (for example your SmartTV, XBoX, MediaCenter, AllShare device etc.). vGet instructs your SmartTV to streams the video directly from the Internet. The video stream is not relayed though vGet. This saves battery and even allows to turn of your Android device completely while the video keeps playing. Please note that this feature is still experimental and depends on the capabilities of your DLNA Device.

it's not work on youtube right?

I'm totally going to try this. I wonder if this will make First Row Sports work better.

Yes, Youtube is disabled - otherwise distribution in Play Store would not be possible.

Works perfect here on htc one GE @ 4.3.
DLNA is the best feature and it works nicely on my desktop here with wmp.
I will try this later on my Samsung F series model at home.
Looks realy promising and makes a chromecast dongle needless if the tv can handle upnp.
Is there a chance to get the "Youtube unlocked version" here as apk in the forum?
thanks,

I personally didn't feel the need to use it on Youtube yet. But maybe, I'll release a non-Play Store version at some stage.

update
v0.3.1 reduces battery usage by disconnecting from playing DLNA-Devices while the screen is turned off.
So now vGet does not consume any power at all while playing on a DLNA device when the screen is turned off.

great app!!!
thanks a lot for this man! I dumped a lot of apps in place of this. i have firefox+flashdownloader plugin installed on my phone just for saving flash videos but I guess it's goodbye FF and Flash Player for me I love how the download continues even after phone restarts. more power to the development of this app man! a release that works with youtube videos will be more awesome, hoping you consider it! thanks again.

perfect!
Hi,
congratulations for the great app. I use it a lot. Do you guys know if a similar solution exists for Windows 7?? Maybe as a plugin for firefox or chrome? Since some of the websites are not optimized for mobile gadgets i'd like to stream from my laptop instead of from my android phone. I've tried to google but could not find anything...
Thanx for some hints!

I guess you are referring to the DLNA feature? I was actually thinking about releasing a Chrome extension with features similar to vGet. But it would probably lack DLNA support as this would require native code (a browser plugin) and I don't like that idea. Chromecast could be supported in a browser extension, but it only supports a limited set of media formats - so it would not work for many flash videos.
You could of course just playback on the computer and mirrors the complete screen - but that's rather inefficient.
Personally I just use a tablet instead of a phone for vGet, so non-mobile sites are not too hard to use.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I mean the DLNA feature. I don't wanna buy another device such as chromecast so I was hoping for such a convienient way to stream to my WD TV like with vget. I tried to mirror the screen already but performance is not the best. Anyway, thanks again for your reply.

I'm a huge fan of your app. Will it be available for kitkat soon?
