I am using Bubbleupnp to stream over DLNA from JRiver MC (v.20) to a Chord DSX1000 renderer. The latter supports DSD/DSF files playback but SACD ISO rips are stuttering on playback. The Ethernet stream is about 8 MBPS so well within capacity of wired network. Gizmo seems to play OK so not sure what is going on.
Any suggestions?

DLNA is cool. I can even watch movies on my phone. But I don’t have a DLNA-certified TV. My TV is a normal one. Can I still watch movies from the computer on my TV?
To access DLNA streaming, if your TV is not certified dlna one, then use a media player hardware as a bridge. Of course, this media player must be dlna certified one like the popular ones: WD TV, Popcorn Hour, TVIX, Dune Player, PS3...
Use the cable to connect your hardware media player to your non-DLNA certified TV set. Thus your TV set is only used as a HD monitor.
Also the supported codecs of these players is very important point. MKV file can not be streamed by DLNA directly. Try a video converter app to transcode mkv to compatible one. Seaching on Google, you will find one. I find one via searching dlna mkv video converter.
Good luck. ^-^
And don't forget you lose subtitles since there is no standart for in in DLNA specs.

Whats the current common way to play 720p mkv with AC3 Audio.
I either get good video with no sound (hw decode) or choppy video with sound (sw decode)
i tried moboplayer, default player and rockplayer (i think)
the only player that plays it properly is diceplayer but its a 3 day trial.
Is there no easy way to play a 720p/ac3 video?
Streaming:
I have a 300mbit wireless at home, works perfectly with laptop<->desktop
No matter what i try with the eee pad, videoplayback is choppy when streaming it.
i tried mynet and those 2 other upnp clients that are out there using ps3mediaserver on my desktop (ushare, gmediaserver were not "seen" from the eee pad)
Whats the current common way to stream media?
Is there a way to play from nfs share at all? Or at least samba?

If you want to root your device, cifs is pretty common and reliable.
Revolver and Prime both include this feature as part of their rom. I don't have any experience with other roms.
Also, I switched to using mxplayer, i like how it has the ability to switch rendering modes from the play screen.
Thanks for the cif thingie, i am going to look that up.
MX player wont play ac3 audio in hw decode :/
For playback buy dice placer from the market. There is no better app for videos.
Streaming and watching HD videos is very difficult. Tegra 2's Videodecoder is very average at best. When you copy something to your device the android is using the cpu. For HD Videos with High Profile you need nearly all cpu power of the Tegra 2. When you streaming at the same time, you can run in performance and transfer problems because of the 1000Mhz. So you should overclock the cpu for a better experience.
Hi,
I have a bunch of 1080p videos stored on a Pogoplug-connected hard drive on my home network. They're encoded in H.264 and saved as mp4's. The videos won't stream to my 7" Kindle Fire HD for some reason. I have to actually save them locally onto the device in order to watch them. When I try to play them via the Pogoplug app, the video player just hangs (this happens no matter which video player I use). They stream just fine to my HTC Evo 4G LTE, so I'm sure the Pogoplug app or my WiFi network speed are not the problem. What's weird is that m4v 1080p videos I've downloaded from iTunes will stream just fine (after stripping the DRM using Requiem), but not the mp4's. Any ideas?
I know it is a bit overkill for a tablet, but considering X1's performance (same gpu,just more cores), it would be nice to know if the K1 can passthrough Hd audio via it's hdmi port.
Anyone tried ?
HI there! I'm very sorry but I wasn't active in this forum at XDA before now. I've been experimenting with this topic for some time now.
YES, The Shield tablets (regardless of versions) can passthrough bit-perfect sound, both stereo or 5.1 (and higher, depending on your stereo equipment).
So here's the deal:
1. You'll need an HDMI audio extractor. I recommend Monoprice's HDMI audio extractors, although there are slightly less expensive models out there, you can't really trust their specs.
2. A standard HDMI audio extractor can passthrough both digital (coaxial or TOSLINK S/PDIF) or digital-to-analog out. For surround sound you'll want an HDMI audio extractor with surround sound outputs.
Essentially it comes down to the media player you'll be using.
I've tested MX Player (with the custom codec loaded), VLC Player for Android, and Kodi. All can do passthrough IF you're using an HDMI extractor that will be identified as such (stereo-only or surround-sound capable) via HDMI. This critical.
Older versions of Kodi they called the "****ty" builds used LPCM bit-hacking to force a passthrough via HDMI. Newer releases require that a HDMI device handshake occurs so the media player will allow an appropriate passthrough to occur.
Unless you will be playing .MP4 files w/ 5.1 surround sound, I recommend MX Player for most music and video files. Passthrough works well on it when set up correctly. VLC is ok too, but the interface leaves something to be desired in my opinion.
Kodi can decode/passthrough 5.1 and higher via HDMI from .MP4 and other files although the user interface is less simplistic.
Hi, I've been using Chromecast with Google TV on Yamaha RX-V685 receiver
When using the MXplayer, my AV doesn't get DD or DD+ just only 2.0ch PCM.
I've tried installing codec from XDA and used HW decoding but I can't get the surrounding system.
Then I experemented on the VLCplayer, this got the passthrough right.
Does anybody have the same problem? or did I set something wrong?
No support for native 5.1 channel audio even after enabling Passthrough, for AV syste
I am facing the same issue, Using MX player in firestick connected to Yamaha AV receiver, Firestick supports up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.
I also tried with Codec package but no help. Mx player neither decoding 6 channel audio nor allowing passthrough. it converts all audio to 2 channels.
Tested .MP4 & .MKV files. Whereas few other players are able to decode all 6 channels from .MP4 &.AVI files but not .MKV.
