Could someone help with this? I have a WDTV Live HD media player and a Vizio Co-Star Google TV box. I would like to stream videos I have d/led from the internet to either of these devices using the TF700. I have MX Video player and Vplayer (licensed) and Vplayer UpNp plugin. Do I need any of those players to stream or do I need something else? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
In the mynet app there was an option to do this I think. It worked with my tv last time I tried. Also look up bubble upnp
Mynet can do it, but MediaHouse is even better. And for video playback, BS Player is much better than VPlayer.
I use MediaHouse and BS Player now. Used to use Mynet and used to use VPlayer once upon a time.

How can I get MediaHouse to show in the list (the one where you select always or once) or how can I set it as my default media streamer? I have the Default App Manager Pro but when I try to use it to set my default app for streaming video it is not one of the ones made available to me' Twonky Beam and Bubble UpNp are there but no MediaHouse.

Anbody a idee ?
no expert
is there no expert - or is it the wrong thread categorie
Same here. I need a videoplayer with m3u-support.
Hast du schon eine Lösung gefunden?
WinAmp
I'm not very sure if this will work but try WinAmp, you can use it for free from the Android Market, but because WinAmp is a computer media player then I guess it may be able to play it.
ANY1 any solution for this? I have exactly the same problem, apart from the receiver which is Kathrein instead of Dreambox. I found Mobo Player, which is supposed to play the stream, but it does not show any video nor audio, although showing time running, as if playing. Any developments on this matter?
thanks,

Search for IPTV by Alexander Sofronov in Play store. It plays .m3u playlist

Search in in Google play "IPTV" , u can play any m3u file with the help of same app .
I am running Serviio on Ubuntu 11.04, and the Transformer is seeing it in MyNet. I can browse pictures and listen to music. But I can't play any AVIs. Does anybody have a profile for Serviio that works with the device? If so, please post the XML section.
BTW, my XBox 360 sees Serviio and plays the pictures, music and AVIs perfectly.
I believe it's because of the native video app. Many people suggest using a combination of UPnPlay + Moboplayer or using Plex. I'm currently using the former and it works well for me. I'm using a ReadyNAS to host all my media.
This is the one thing I do enjoy about my Captivate is the native DLNA app and its ability to play a variety of videos.
Yup. Upnp + Moboplayer plays my AVIs. Thanks!

No problem. I'm glad it worked for you too.
I have had my Windows 7 in the list of dlna server for my tf101.
I can see all videos, etc...
But when i try to play one, it always says "Fail to load" on almost every videos...
somes are mpg, avi, etc.
Isn't DLNA supposed to play what ever my windows 7 will stream ?
If it is the case those videos works really well on the windows 7.
What i am missing ?
Have you tried installing a decent media app like V player, Rock player, Zimly etc - pref with one with its own codecs?
Download UPnPlay, myNet is a POS IMHO

I agree UPnPlay works really well, mynet uses the default gallery movie app which won't support most of your vids rendering it pretty useless.

Are you saying that there is a way to get MyNet to use another player? myNet works for me, I can see my videos on my Twonky NAS, but I can't play any of them with the default player of course. As far as I can see, there is no way to use another player with myNet.
Just got my Transformer yesterday and overall I like it but one of the biggest issue that I found is that I cannot stream mkv files from my HTPC to it (or haven't found a way to do it).
Is there a player that supports streaming of MKVs ? Also, other than using Plex is there any other option to do streaming ?
DicePlayer can stream MKV files, on a CIFS/samba share. I suggest you try the trial.
While Dice player can't play a single MKV I've thrown at it (and I tried a LOT of different files) and is, IMO, a complete waste of money I second the CIFS mount suggestion. that's the only way I found to reliably and painlesly watch movies from my NAS.

I tried Dice player and it did not even play my AVIs so I don't know why it is regarded as such a great player.
Is there a noob friendly guide of using CIFS somewhere?
Dice player plays all the MKV's I've thrown at it
Dice player work for me as well. Streaming using upnplay.

Dice player works great on my htc sensation, i can play all my hd stuff, was rather annoyed to find out that my phone can play video better than my tablet though. Apparently tegra 2 struggles with high profile h264.
DICE plays all my anime mkv's, It's by no means the perfect application but it does a good job with support for certain audio streams. I don't regret the purchase.
No problem with Dice Player playing mkv. For streaming from HTPC i use Bubble UPNP or UPNPlay but i think Bubble UPNP is more userfriendly.

I just download the two apps. Bubble is more honeycomb friendly, but it will be a paid app in september.
But, Dice Player through Bubble or Upnplay can't show the subtitle included in the mkv movie file. I have to download the mkv file in order to have the subtitle. Is there another way to do it through UPNP streaming only?

After a lot of trial and error I was able to stream mkv with the following combination
TVMoBili + Bubble + DicePlayer/Mx Player
Only with Dice player, the video does not shutter but Mx Player is the only one that shows embedded subtitles and unlike DicePlayer, I can skip ahead the video.

I use PS3 Media Server which work for ps3 and the ASUS tablet!
But MX Player (free version) is laggy when it come to play a 720p mkv video file. Dice Player is perfect with 720p file. It is a shame that Dice won't play subtitle when it play streaming videos.
Just saying. I'm watching a 720p video on my transformer right now using mxplayer and the armv7 codec for it and its running perfectly and no issues whatsoever.

Streaming wise, I use Qloud and it is awesome.
I still cannot stream MKV.DICE was lagging even for normal videos when Rockplayer was able to make it work well. Will try mxplayer.
Please remember that MKV is just a container, inside that container you can have almost any combination of video codec and audio codec. MP4 is also a container but it has a very limited range of allowed video/audio codecs, so it's much easier to support.
If you are using the Android system video decoding (The only way to get hardware accelerated playback) you will be able to play some 720p h.264 video streams. If you are just using the CPU to decode then 720p will never be smooth.
All these video players can do is try to unwrap the containers (Like MKV or AVI) and _maybe_ do soft-decoding on the audio if the android system doesn't support the audio codec (Like AC3/DTS)
If the player does full CPU decoding for the video stream you won't be able to play HD content smoothly, ever (Things that claim "Optimised for the Tegra 2 CPU" are still just doing the work on the CPU).
This means that there will _never_ be a Tegra2 Android app that can play _all_ MKV's it's simply not possible. This is why people are saying "Plays my MKVs fine" and other are saying "Won't play any of my MKVs"
After spending many frustrating hours trying to stream my mkvs, the only 100% working solution that I have found so far is to use MyCloud app an remote desktop into my HTPC. This way I not only have access to all my movies/tv shows I can play them with subtitles.
I know its not the best solution but at least it is a working one
I'm using Plex to stream movies, but I can't recall if I have tried any .mkv files. Can anyone confirm? If so, OP might want to try Plex... it's pretty slick.

Plex re-encodes on the fly so it'll play anything that the server can transcode in realtime. But the quality will be notably lower.
For SMB streaming I use ES File Explorer.
MX Player for avi's (SW).
MXP loads subtitles from the tablet.
Dice Player for mkv's (HW).
Whats the best video player for AVI/MKV files?
Thanks!
it's mx player for me.

mx player
although i lost my last android but i still remember how cool that program is,
now i'm just waiting for the 700, now i really want to experience android (esspecially 4.0, last time i got 2.3) but i don't have one
BS player lite is the best for me. Think it's better than MX player, BS player has it's own HW engine. Also MX player stopped supporting DTS sound.
MX for me. It even has a child lock which is a life saver.
Mx player + kids lock is the ultimate car tranquilizer.
For me it's dice player. Old avi, mkv, 720p mkv, mini 720p mkv, rmvb all play w/o any problem
VLC ?
Has anyone tried the VLC player??
