Question about MiraStick lag? - Android Stick & Console Computers General

I'm not sure if this Is the right area, but I'll ask and see...
I just purchased this mirastick off of groupon and it is titled mirastick tv cast for android, iOS, and windows devices. (Can't post urls)
I'm trying to use it to stream movies off of sites like putlocker and also Xbmc. Also, I want to use it to stream sports using acestream.
I tried using Xbmc to stream movies and it's pretty scratchy and laggy when I use the mirror mode.
Any suggestions on how to resolve the lag?
Thanks

[REQUETE] [APP] DLNA and Nexus one

Hi all,
I tried to install DlnaService.apk from Acer Liquid. All went fine but the moment I tried to share content with my Plasma Samsung 8, even if it recognized my Nexus, it wasn't able to share content.
Anyone had a similar experience?
Wow I didn't even know you can do that with the Nexus, I'm also very interested now.
twonky server works with my samsung only tried pics and music so far, I expect it will be fussy with vids though due to codec support in my tv.
might also work with ps3 dlna too, probably better codec support on that
just fire up the app and press the source/input on your tv remote and it shows up in the menu.
instant android media server
obviously you need both devices on the same network
very cool - no config
Works with the PS3! Wow this is awesome, I'm streaming my mp3s from my Nexus One as I type this =]
Edit: Also works with pictures on the PS3, I don't have any vids on my Nexus or I'd try that also.

Which one? The Acer one or twonky server?
The Acer one you posted above "DlnaService.apk" it plays a bit choppy on the music, but I think that's only because I have them both on wireless.
@irajames1176
Ok...I have to try. With Samsung TV I have probs...
I tried out Twonky Mobile going to a WD TV Live and audio, video and music all worked just fine. Pretty nice little app, actually. Quick and easy way to show some pics you've snapped on your phone.
I know this is an old thread... but now that the Droid X is coming out and has a new DLNA app, has anyone heard of anyone locating it?
Hi,
I'm wondering if the opposite is OK. I mean I want to use my Nexus One to access my DLNA server (Buffalo LinkStation NAS) to pull contents from there and play on N1. Is there any workable solution? Thank you.
That would be good.

I'm looking for something like this too. I have a ****load of stuff on my nas with a dlna server on it, I'd like to be able to connect to it from my phone to listen to my vast music collection.
I am also interested in some kind of a dlna player app, which plays music and videos out of my buffalo NAS (now it is trying to download instead of streaming).

Andromote has a local player built in. It sees my Xtreamer Mk1 set top box but I can't play anything from it.
Also, this DNLA client above isn't seen by my Xtreamer. I blame the crappy UPNP implementation of the Xtreamer. Seems to work right on the Nexus one with my PC though.
Back to running a Samba server on the Nexus for accessing my things from the Xtreamer. Atleast that works great!

I've tested it on my nexus one and my ps3. Mp3 and Pictures were good but videos not . I couldn't manage to run videos larger than 5 mb .
Some large Mp3s were also crappy .
Can anybody provide Galaxy S DLNA apk ???

I have this app running but it works only as long as the screen is on. When the phone goes to sleep the app cuts out as well though I have my WIFI settings to be Always ON. Is there a way to have the app running though the phone goes to sleep?
Thats the sickest problem with nexus one. I hate it...

MMS:// Streaming Video Player for Android?

Hello. Can anyone recommend a video player that will play mms:// video streams other than yxplayer? yxplayer just locks up on my stream. I am trying to hit a surveillance stream that I have going at my house. The only way I can currently pick up audio is off of my mms:// stream. I'm on wifi when I'm trying to view it, but yxplayer will not play it for anything.
Hi,
I am using xperia x10. But not able to play all video formats on it. Pls help me by providing which player to be downloaded??????
I use Vplayer Alpha for most videos that the default player won't play.
No one has any other option for mms:// video streams other than yxplayer?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501131
Real Player for Android supposedly can do it, I am getting the info from a CSR now.
http://real.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7927
I see no option in real player to load a stream. Also myplayer...I can't find it in the android market place. It just says not found.

Well, after following this link (couldn't find it in the android market), searching and downloading myplayer's apk from another location, and side loading it.... it is not what I am looking for. It only streams from some BBC feeds and other live TV stations.
What I need is a program that will let me play live streamed mms:// asf video streams and actually let me select the url for the stream. yxplayer lets me start it, but then it just totally locks up If yxplayer actually worked I would buy that, but I am not having any luck getting it to work with my stream. It's a valid address and the stream works on Windows PCs. I've seen other requests out there too for something that does this, but I haven't found anything that actually works.
hi,
can you find any solution for your problem
I search everywhere I can, but not able to find a real solution
yx player is not stable i guess
Nope. I still have not found anything out there that works to stream mms:// streams. It is amazing to me that there is nothing out there that does this. I was hoping Vplayer beta would do it as they just put out an update with the ability to open a URL, but nope. I am still waiting and looking. If anybody figures out a way to do this let me know. None of the above suggestions work.
Hallo I have an IP camera that does not stream mjpeg but streams only .asf video. the camera is a Linksys WVC54GC.
I've tried about 10 players but the only one that let me stream the video from everywhere (means both from lan and from internet: i.e. 192.168.1.115/img/video.asf and my-ddns:115/img/video.asf[/url])
is VPlayer.
hope it helps...i've fighted a lot before find it...
the only one 'compromise' that I had to do is to make a free access to the camera (no username / no password) because the player is unable to manage usr/pwd access...I hope they will add this feature in next updates...
Hi,
Have you found something what can able play mms streaming ?
Hi, as I wrote before, the only one i've found Is Vplayer...
Have you tried it?
They give one day of free full use, then you have to buy it.

This actually looks pretty interesting thing i may try this out for new years, want to be able to play music from my gtablet via my phone like control the music playing on the gtablet from my phone (as the remote control) wonder if this would work hmmm, def will test tonight.
Just downloaded Twonky from the Marketplace and it works for me, streams audio, movies and pictures from my home media server. Supports standard DLNA compatible servers from what I can read. Also allows you to stream from the GTab to other DLNA compatible devices as well. Menu is in portrait mode, but the video will play landscape.
Was thinking about the same and saw this post and went off and looked around. There are a couple of other apps around as well, depends what you are using for a source.
Try Gmote
I've been using Gmote for streaming movies to my Gtab. It also has a pretty decent touchscreen mouse controller for when you're couchbound. Setup is really simple, and the interface for browsing your media is nice looking. Downsides are basic controls only for watching/listening and portrait orientation only for navigating menus and using the "remote control" feature. Playing movies though (landscape, of course), is very snappy and has a surprisingly lag free seek feature if you want to look around for a point mid-movie.
This tablet is actually pretty powerful and I stream most of the stuff to it from my server just using the ES File Manager. It supports SAMBA shares (windows shares).
I am not sure.. but the other day I had it decoding a 720p mkv file at around 10fps but no audio. I am sure that this is a player issue...
All of my 640*480 and lower AVI files play without a hitch though.

Need Help. What player can play stream video?

Hi all,
I need some help. I couldn't find any info on my problem in TF forums, hence created a new topic.
The problem is that I can't watch an Online-TV (I use etvnet(dot)com to watch some Russian TV) on my TF. I tried stock player and Mobo player, but both of them can't open the file.
I don't know all the technical details, but I know that the video streams as WMV-file using MMS protocol. Any suggestions on what player can play it?
So far the only way I found was to watch it from my PC using Splashtop HD, however it's kinda slow and works awful in "full-screen" mode.
You can try plex to stream it from your PC to your TF101. Or use handbrake to re-encode it to something that the tf101 can play (search the tf101 forums for handbrake)

Suggestions on Streaming through wifi to TV app

I am looking for some good apps that will let me stream from my phone to my home media server so I can watch on my TV.
I am currently using iMediaShare Lite. I can stream fine from my phone and Kindle Fire most of the time. The limitations of the program are that you can only stream from their app with the free version. If I get the paid app I can stream from anything on the web or from files I have downloaded. I have no problem paying for an app whatsoever if it works. But iMediaShare Lite is really buggy. It frequently crashes. If you exit it and go back into it, it doesn't want to start the service. When using it the controls are buggy.
I want something like it but something that actually works. And I don't care if it is a paid app. If it works good I am more than happy to support the dev.
Any suggestions?
I am streaming to an NMT Popcorn Hour then to my TV.
Shameless bump!!!
No one?
