Hello. I fount, that I can serve the media content from android phone through Twonky server to my PC. But I want retrograde app - the android DNLA media CLIENT - to play the streamed video or audio on my Android phone - from my PC media library.
Any idea?
Thanx!!!

I don't know much about Android...
...but I'm interested in getting an android phone, probably the HTC Desire.
Can't you just link your phone into your home network, like I've done with my WM6.5 phone? That way, you can just browse to the relevant media folder on your network from your phone and play the file via the relevant app on your phone. I do that for video and music on my WM phone.
Or does Android not allow you to link into a PC network?
Linking to a PC network over SMB/CIFS is not straightforward AFAIK:
You can browse and copy files with applications such as ES File Explorer, but that is not integrated into the file system for all applications. And You can use xyflash to stream from the network using certain protocols such as http and ftp, but not in a very user friendly way.
I'd love to see something being able to browse and stream using DNLA/UPNP or mount a SMB path in the android file system, but I haven't seen it yet. Though the latter may be possible if you device is rooted, I haven't checked that out...
Are you looking for something like AndroMote, or to go the other way around?

Just saw this post; I've been using this for a while (originally just to test it) it works well with my Buffalo Linkstation's Media server.
As I can see, there is no news about video dnla app client - only audio is possible now :/

Not necessarily.... If you have a UPnP server on your PC (TVersity, Playon, etc...) you can use PlugPlayer (plugplayer . com) as your client...
I've spent some time recently to look for a UPnP stack solution for android, so perhaps my exploration can be of use.
I found out that EyeconTroller is a nice media renderer. I only tested audio but EyeconTroller is supposed to handle videos as well.
I've tested it with two android devices: the first one runs iMediashare (media server), the second one runs EML UPnP-AV Controlpoint to act as a remote controller, and EyeconTroller runs on both devices. Using EML I was able to stream from iMediashare to EyeconTroller on both devices.
Next step is to stream from my linux box, but i don't expect any issue here (granted it is on the same subnet, which it is not for now), considering that EML discovered the iMediashare and all EyeconTroller instances without problem.
Note that for now EyeconTroller is free but might not always be (see eyecontec site).
I have a lcd tv samsung C550, they have dlna with name 'allshare', they can display music, photos and messages, but I think this only work with galaxy S, would be nice if any android phone can send text message to tv.
skifta is a great dlna client
i search for a audio only dlna client, they are all audio and video and i just want a small case to plug to my audio mixer.. without any drive i wan't to stream music directly from my phone as i can do on my tv with any NAS and skifta.
I have a N4, N7 and Nexus 10.
I also have a HTPC with XBMC running on it with 8tb of content.
Is it possible to have an app, residing on the HTPC and or on my devices which allows me to manage and copy content over via a webbrowser.
The idea is so i dont have to close XBMC, plug my N10 in to the HTPC, open a web browser on the device or on another PC and copy over films or shows.
The only way i think i can do this is by using ADB and PSEXECing on to the HTPC from another device and pushing content over.
Does this make sense?
I dont want to add another step on the HTPC, its controlled by a harmoney remote so i dont want a Keyboard or Mouse attached....
Thanks

I am having issues streaming Xfinity tv go and Some ESPN content. The apps are blocking my media boxes. I have the apps that work fine on my phones and tablets but get the error every time I try to stream on these devices. Error :: 106000.35 We're sorry, but this content is not playable on this device.
What code is in these apps that keeps them streaming?
What is this code checking for?
Is there a way to spoof a device so that the APP don't know what device or thinks it is another device that is being used.
I am not a developer but know a bit about android. Here is what I have tried and it did not work.
I went into build.prop in the root folder and changed the a nexus 7 tablet
Im having the same problem with another box This issue is the only thing holding me back from buying a nexus player
Anyone know of an app that can copy pics clicked on phone to a NAS drive automatically when on wifi?
I have two devices in my home. ios & android. So a recommendation for either platform will be great.
The requested feature is something similar to what the dropbox and onedrive apps already do. But they push it to the cloud rather than to a NAS on my local wifi. Western Digital has an app, but it will only push to to WD NAS.
Hello,
I've got a TV Box running Android 8 (non upgradable) and I'm trying to watch movies from my USB flash drive (formatted as exFAT, since I've got files larger than 4GB).
Issue #1: VLC player (version 3.0, also non upgradable) does not recognize it at all.
Issue #2: In the native File Explorer app, I can see and access the movie files. But, if I try to open them using VLC, an error occurs (something related to "path cannot be found or does not exist").
Question #1: is there a workaround to force VLC to "see" my flash drive?
Question #2: do you know any file explorer app that works on Android 8 AND detects external USB drives, which could be used to open VLC avoiding the path problem?
Question #2 is related to this video. However, this app no longer exists and I've spent hours looking for another one without success.
Thanks in advance.
