I am having problem with local streaming from external hard drive. Its mostly related to large files more than 4 Gigs or high resolution videos 2k or 360 , 180 scopes which need more than 40Mbps bitrate .first i thought is the router or harddrive problem .now im certain that the phone cant receive very high bitrate videos and get intrupted every now and then. I used different apps and transfer protocols and didnt work the only way is streaming directly from local memory .
I have no problem streaming 4k content directly from internet , i dont know why i cant do the same thing from my external hard drive. I can stream 4k without any problem from external hard drive to my pc or surface .
Anyone knows a way i could fix this?
Is it the android related problem or the phone itself ?
How the same phone can stream the same content over internet but not over local network ? You might say try plex and such and my guess is i have less problem with apps with dedicated servers but i need this to use with some cardboard player app for virtual glasses. Thanks

Ok everyone something new that I am trying to setup, something to the effect of a home media streaming server.
The server it self is a laptop intel i5 6gb ram win 7 connected to tv via HDMI, I used this to play netflix, torrents, ect and basically cut off my cable bill.
What I would like to do now is to stream the video/audio via wifi to other android devices that are connected to other tv's through out the house.
for the client side, I will be useing MK802 II android 4.0. connected via HDMI,
question to everyone is ... Has anyone else already accomplish this? and can you give any pointers. I know I can simply share files, ect but I want to sync the video signal to the other televisions so If a video is on in the living room , the same exact video is playing in the kitchen.
And being I want to do this via Android Im here at xda to pick some brains
Thank you in advance

Hello everyone !
I am currently looking for the best way to stream my 300+ gigs of music from my tablet and I am looking for the best and easiest way to do it.
What I have right now as devices are
a Laptop (which is were the music is right now)
a Ps3
No External drives yet
My Galaxy Tab 2
I was thinking of maybe buying an external HDD with a kind of bluetooth / DLNA connectivity to host the mp3
since the laptop isnt at home/open all the time when I wanna grab my tablet.
I Also thought about Cloud storage... But im not sure I could host 300+ gigs of mp3 free on the net... and if possible I dont wanna waste too much internet data.
So at the end I thought I would just ask the pros.
Thanks a lot guys !!

A hard disk will be a good idea...also if u dunno wanna but a HD with bluetooth or dlna u can check tab 2 accessories section for HDs that tab 2 support via OTG cable...
(is there is no thread than u can make one asking suggetions for supported models)
and if u get no reply go and but a dlna/bluetooth one it will be best one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use very easy and dirty solution -> enable FTP server on my PC...
and all other android/windows device, stream via FTP, or download for a temporary
I have a small VPN servers (mikrotik) , and I connect via VPN if I am outside my own wifi...
cons: in samsung music player, you can't minimize the player when streaming. on xperia walkman, you can minimize the walkman without stopping your music
ooooh interresting ima look more into that !
Thanks a lot for the info !
Hi folks,
I am very confused regarding the world of media centres / htpc's / media streamers.... so confused in fact that I don't even know the right name to call them.
Anyway at the moment I have loads of videos on my HTC one that I want to be able to watch easily on my TV. Obviously my TV has HDMI and perhaps not so obviously a USB which it can play videos through but it isn't a smart tv.
Since my HTC One only has 32GB then I would like to be able to transfer videos onto the HDD (via my wi-fi network so either plugged into router or into another device) and then play from that or if not then to play directly from my phone onto my TV.
I have been looking at the Now TV box with Plex on and also the Raspberry Pi with XBMC on but I am not sure if either of these can do what I want them to do. Does anyone on here have a home cinema setup along those lines that can advise.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hi guys:
I've been trying to play my full bluray files, (m2ts, mkv) on my note 3 // nexus 7 // etc.
I am currently using ES-explorer to connect to my PC, and feeding to MX-Player... It plays smooth for 3 seconds, then craps out.
I know I have enough bandwidth 110Mb/s possible on the N66u-tomato to devices.
Does anyone know of a better way to stream to MX-Player ?
I know the processing hardware is capable since I can play full bluray files off an external disk via usb otg.
Using network monitor I see that it's uploading exactly HALF the incoming bandwidth during playback, so I'm assuming ES-explorer is using some sort of virtual server transition to get to MX-Player..
Does anyone know what type of back end i need to setup to stream to MX-Player directly ?
Hello, so I'm looking for a way to play/stream music from my computer hard drive to my Android phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 plus) when I'm away from home, with 4G connection...
I'm using a music player app which can play music from my phone internal storage as well as my PC (windows 7) shared folders but only on LAN with WIFI, but is there a way to do so on long distance ?
Desktop sharing/Remote control (like teamviewer...) seems to do so, but I tried some and it was suffering from many audio lag/stutter, maybe data transfer problems, probably because it was dealing with video transfer at the same time (which is something I don't care at all, I just want to access my huge mp3 collection on my hard drive)
Thanks for any suggestions !
Let's hope there is a way :cyclops:
