I think that for that purpose you need a file browser that support FTP access. You can try es file explorer or astro

Recommend you two players, VLCplayer and VidOn player, they can meet your requirements. Hope to help you.
Take a look at Avia. I'm pretty sure it fits all of the above. It's really good regardless.

the closes that i have got was Gmote but they open it in there own player..
i wanna open and play it thought vlc
would be better to use wifi but bluetooth is ok 2
anyone come across a app like this???
I think there is an app that would fit your request... it`s calles "vlc remote" and turns your phone into a remote for the vlc on your pc via wifi, you can download it from the market
I hope that is, what you are searching for... i´m not sure if I understood your request in the right wy, my english is not very goot

gmote may work for you, in the market
and you install the server portion on your pc, you connect via lan/wifi to your home pc. you can browse through your drives/folders like you would in astro and when you click on a movie file it will play it on your pc monitor, the video player is built into gmoteserver (pc side)
you can also install vnc server on your pc and then install vnc on android (market vnc)
and control it just like you would a normal vnc session.
i myself am looking for a file browser for android that will let me browse network shares and let me copy files to my sdcard

as i said in my first post gmote dose this but when you open a .avi file it opens it in its own weird player and dont run the codec from vlc so the video isnt as clear (is there a fix for that)... but yer i want something just like that... but opens the files in vlc...
im using a remote desktop atm (VNC) without much enjoyment.. its ok i guess just would like a simple app to all drives and pick a file to play full screen on my computer to the look of astro

sorry i must not have read your OP sorry about that.
there is another app gremote much more polished version but its a paid app (market app free but pc software is costs)
besides a vnc type app, i dont know of any app for the pc that will let you remotely launch files too. so if its not there for the pc, its probably not there for the android.
im going to search google for remotely executing files that may lead us to an app that may be made for the android
only other thing i can think of is continue using vnc, switch to media player home cinema as it pauses/play on mouse click. setup a play list on the pc, then use your phone to vnc in to play/pause/volume up/down.
next to that cordless mouse and keyboard =)
So you are looking for a Media Remote Control application.

No no no. What you want is estrongs file explorer. Browse network shares via
Samba (PC networking) or ftp. Over wifi for lan shares or 3G with ftp.
You can ditch Astro after that find.
If you need to do it the other way around; browse the phone's file system with a pc or other device, use swiftp which is an ftp server.

astro just came out with SMB support, you can browse network files through that now too
Anyone know of an app that would allow me to manage my files on my webserver? I use coffeecup ftp from my pc. Any similar ftp clients available for android?
Sent from my Evo3D
This would be very useful.
i use andftp
I use ES File Explorer. It's really handy. It supports samba shares as well.
I am trying to find a file manager that can see the contents of other machines on my Windows network using SMB. I can't get Astro's SMB extension to work ....force close. ES File Explorer somewhat works but is very slow and not really useable. I have tried about half a dozen others and these are no better. Any recommendations on what does work will.
I am using Tiamat Manta Ray 2.0.1.
Thank you Gordon.

You might want to try File Manager HD.
Estrongs file explorer
I recommend Estrongs file explorer. This app access and browses microsoft smb net with scan option. Works great with Windows 7.
Ghost Commander works well for me. I can browse my NAS and transfer files to and fro easily.
file manager he is working for me, too... can see and pull from my NAS and other networked devices

I also recommend this. I hooked up with my Home server and use it to transfer video files & comics over wifi. recommend
Thanks for the suggestions. The only one that seems to work smoothly for me is Ghost Commander. The only limitation that I have found with it so far is that I can't view the contents of files that reside on networked machines. I have to copy to the Xoom and then view locally.
Maybe the difficulties that I have found with other apps is a result of using Tiamat Manta Ray 2.0.1.
Thank you

Have u tried ANDSMB it works fine for me, I can see all shared and public folders in my all computers in the house

its not the rom - file mgr HD sees, opens, and fetches from my NAS via wifi without issue
Any good apps/methods to access my shared media on my local WiFi network?
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2
i use a app called ES File Explorer you can download it from the market.
Its dead easy to setup. it will scan for computers on your network and then show you all the shared files.
Ahhh, knew the solution was under my nose lol. I Love that app. Thanks for the advice

glad it works for you
ES file explorer is good, but I also use Remote Media Center. It's great if you use Windows Media Center but it requires a server program on the host computer called Remote Potato. I like it cause it transcodes high-def video into a lower bitrate so you can watch it on your phone or stream to anywhere if you're out of the house.
Wouldn't this be DLNA?
es file explorer has worked perfectly for me. I have a samba file server I access with it
Hey,
I just got an MK808 TV Stick and I it's a pretty neat slick device. Like how small it is, and seems to be pretty fast (but, will probably flash some custom ROM on it soon).
Anyways, I want to use this as a replacement OS for my Smart TV and play Netflix/Hulu (have to root/market enabler to get this)/stream from my personal library, which is all shared on a raspberry pi PC via SMB. My Smart TV is DLNA compliant, but can't play all the different formats that I have accumulated over the years. My new stick TV PC, so far can handle it all.
Whats the best and easiest way to open files stored on SMB drives, and play them in a media play on my stick PC (right now, using VLC do to this). I say easy, in the sense that when my 6 year old kid wants to watch one of his movies he doesn't have to mount a drive via ES file explorer and choose what file from a list of directories like I am willing to do, but more of a "see the cover art, click and play" kind of way. I know XBMC would do most of this (if not all) but it only does software decoding, and I would like to have hardware.
Thanks in advance.
Ive got an ICUBE mk809II, i also have a NAS (nsa310) with my network share on. I use solid explorer and you can map to your network drive with that by adding an SMB share. Hopefully you have root. You can also then do a shortcut on the desktop by doing a solid explorer widget to that network share.
The second way i've used is to download a CIFS/SMB app, MountManager seemed the best, and you a can make a virtual link to your network share which is by default in your mnt folder. If you wanted to use your tv stick as a torrent box, you can map to the network share, and point Adownloader to the virtual link in the mount folder and it will get to your share. Its then easy to bookmark to your SMB/network share by doing a widget in Solid Explorer on your desktop. So with one click from the desktop, your there, I mainly use MX Player over VLC player as VLC was having audio sync problems.

Try MIZUU BETA .
Tried MX Player?
Did, played some of my content, but not all of it. VLC so far is working ok.
Anyone have any idea how to install Finless rom with this? Can't seem to find much information on how to flash it, just what its features are.

Wow zmaki, that was the perfect choice! App works great for streaming from my SMB shares and shows the cotent like XBMC, except with decent rendering!
I have to admit though, I wish the program had its own built in media player with codec support, that would make it the cats ass.
PLEX works awesome, no problems with any streaming and it looks great.

Hi,
The question here is the same issue I have wirh my new android miniPC to let my children (and even my self) an easy access to files stored on my PC.
My device is not rooted (not I'm goind to do so).
The device is conected over the same LAN (wi-fi is disabled).
I saw codlike two solutions ("solid explorer" or MountManager) but both need root, is there another solution?
