Hello guys,
What are your recommendations for streaming applications that allows me to watch video on my android devices.
I prefer the app to have a wide support of video formats. Bonus if it does Audio streaming also.
Thank you

I run ps3 media server on my PC for DLNA, then install BubblePnP on my android to stream the DLNA which plays through MX Player. Works perfectly.
Gotta use DLNA if you want to stream 720 or 1080. You cant use SAMBA its too slow.
- please Click Thanks if i helped.
I love BS player for this..also has lot of features like playing from YouTube,vid formats etc..it has good WiFi streaming performance as well,you just have to share the folder on PC and open file thru bsplayer ..very easy..
thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a shot.
I was aiming for something like installing a software on the pc and then installing an app that will allow me to browse the pc and stream my content.

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.
What possible solutions are there for streaming content whether it music or video from a PC to the htc Sensation, i have a lot of movie content and would like it if i could choose video files and play them (stream) so i dont have to download it to the sd card via USB.
Thanks.
I use VLC Stream & Convert, VLC Direct seemed to be very choppy when I played avi's from my PC.
You open VLC on your computer and add a Web Interface for it to work.
The buildin video stream player worked out of the box with my home NAS. I can stream 720p avi's over wifi. All I needed was ES File Explorer for access to NAS.
That is using standard UPnP protocols I think, so it should work with your windows media centre. You will have to enable sharing of your files and actually point the WMC to the folders that you want to share.
Try it and report back,
rio
PS: if you have lots of MKV files, I'm still looking for streaming options...
Thanks for the info, using es explorer did just what i needed, it does play choppy like you said but i think its to do with the player and not with the connection. I am able to play high quality blu ray files 10-20gb but its even more slower so will need to find a better video player i would say...
Whats the best video player out there ??
we need vlc for android
Looking for a solution to stream my huge FLAC collection to my Android devices, with or without transcoding. Looking to use Logitech's revue, or some low power embedded Linux box. Streaming should be possible over the Internet, not just LAN. Any suggestions?
Check out Subsonic .. works great with flac

Thanks, I've been trolling their forums for a while now Can you suggest a particular NAS to install Subsonic on (hopefully under $150)? Also, I think Subsonic needs Java, hence may have hefty HW requirements. Do you stream FLACs with or w/o transcoding? How does your NAS hold up to on-the-fly transcoding?
I've also been looking at Twonky (my E4200 router is supposed to have a Twonky media server, only Linksys smartasses managed to ruin it in the latest firmware), MPD, Plex, Tversity and Chumby. Anyone care to comment on any of these?
I have been using WD My Book live which also has twonky media server in it. I use the free bubbleUpnp for streaming audio/video from the NAS, which it does perfectly. Flacs too play very well.
Strangely I could not get the paid Twonky mobile client app to stream my flac files from my NAS!

Does bubbleUpnp stream onto the Internet as well, or just the LAN?
Is there any way or app which i could use to stream videos from my device to TV without any cable? I know there are UPNP/DLNA apps which can do that but problem is using that.. TV uses its own video player to play the files and we dont get much of functionality. I'm looking any app which could use MX Player/VLC or any other Android player to control the video in TV. Any help?
So I have the infamous Galaxy Note 7.. and I'm trying to use MX player to stream to my TV.. I can do it with the phones stock player but.. can't figure out how on MX PLAYER.. can anyone help??

Hey,
MX Player doesn't support the casting yet. However, we are working on it to bring you at the earliest.
If you are casting the files through some other apps, kindly contact the respective developer for further assistance on your issues.
Please please I want screen cast feature within MX Player as its my favorite video player.

I use Anycast device for my TV through it's HDMI port, as it doesn't have inbuilt WiFi/cast feature.
On my mobile device, I go through:
Settings>more>Wireless display
Here I select the Anycast display "Lollipop".
Next I open file browser or app to select my media to play.
Now, MXPlayer acts as a media browser and I play videos from my Internal Storage. The problem is with the online content of MXPlayer, which plays with a black screen and audio.
I hope I didn't miss anything.

Hi Yogesh,
Anycast is based on Miracast technology, which is not secure enough to protect the contents. So, screen mirroring is deliberately disabled while playing the protected contents on our streaming platform.
Yesterday I was able to play the online videos and many other TV shows,but today this option is not showing in my mx player. What should I do now
