Is there currently a DLNA / UPNP PLAYER (going from a server to the phone.... not the other way around) for Android?
I believe the Galaxy S phones were supposed to have one? If so, did anyone extract them?
I also would like to know if something like this is available. I can play back mp3 and jpg on my Desire HD, but not video files.
My GT-I9000 Galaxy has a program called AllShare. I just use Media player 12 on my WiN7 machine and it allows me to stream to AllShare. I can play divx movies, tv series, and other videos just fine off my home wifi network.
Gmote for audio works great.
I was looking for more for the video option. I have a ton of divx / xvid on my server.
When I use astro with the smb addon..... I can search the server but then I get an error when Rockplayer tries to play it.
estrongs isn't able to let me login for some reason.
But since my NAS has dlna and upnp I'm just looking for a simple player or app that can search dlna.
I've been looking for an app of this nature for over a year. Still no luck. I would guess that the developers that would be closest to being able to get this going would be one of the video player developers such as Rockplayer or Vplayer alpha. They've already got multi format playback for videos. Now if only they could playback these formats as a stream from dlna/upnp.........
Bumping. With the release of android based tablets dnla / upnp video players are going to be a huge win.
Anyone with a good answer?
Skifta?

I agree, AllShare works great with my Samsung TV and my laptop being the server with all the video files. My laptop has ubuntu with MiniDLNA as the server. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732005 has a link to dlna.apk (which is allshare) weird thing is all the permissions it asks for when installing :/ even wants access to SMS which i thought was weird
for video try http://www.appbrain.com/app/vlc-stream-convert/com.gmail.traveldevel.android.vlc.app with vlc on your pc
if you want only music http://www.appbrain.com/app/twonky-mobile-free/com.pv.twonkyremote works nicely with windows media player library shararing on local network
i've been searching for a good solution for a long time now. I have an ampache server setup now but its cumbersome, none of the ampache apps on android are that great.
Does twonky work over the internet?
no it doesn't but you can smoho get vlc stream and convert working over the internet
The best I have been able to come up with is using UPnP with an app called UPnPlay - in conjunction with VPlayer (which for me is working smoother than Rockplayer).
It's not dlna but it's something.

I have played with lots of different dlna players but by FAR.... the best app is called
iMediaShare - it works perfectly with windows 7/XP (windows media player). You can play music and videos that are on your pc on either your PC (using your phone as a remote control) or play them on your phone streaming them from your PC.
Also there are TV channels like Nasa or Youtube you can use your phone as a high tech tv remote.
Amazing!
P.S My frav before this was Twonk
P.P.S My frav phone browser/streamer is 'Browsix' (again AMAZING!)
P.P.P.S my title is not right sorry, it should say IMediaShare
I have gotten TVersity to work as a server to my transformer running My Net as the client.
I was wondering if there might be a better combination to play my video files on
the transformer?
First try with the keyboard/dock, the delay is driving me nuts.

I use Plex on mine which seems to work well.Coming from an iPad and Air Video this program works well and it says it'll work out of your local network as well on the net, though I haven't tried it yet.
I use PlayOn at home and it will send video to my iPad, TF, PS3, and most other devices. It works great for Netflix for me since we don't have the Netflix app working on the TF.
Edit: I know it is a pay for app, but I've been extremely happy with it.
I find upnplay to be great. Basically it just streams the file into another video application of your choice so it supports whatever your player does. I like moboplayer personally, but to each their own.
Serviio works for me...
Confused
Okay, I'm sorry for the newbie question
But everywhere I go to look for Eee Pad and DLNA related topics, i keep reading about people who stream videos from their PC to the Eee Pad.
but that's not what I want.
What i want is, HOW do I steam a video FROM the Eee Pad to the Television, wirelessly, using DLNA.
what app does that?
I haven't bought a DLNA enabled television yet, but i'm thinking about getting this DLNA streaming client for the TV
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...CODE=GOOGLEBASE&cm_mmc_o=VRqCjC7BBTkwCjCECjCE
i haven't bought that DLNA client for the tv yet.
because before i buy it, i need to figure out, how can i DLNA stream a video from the tablet to that DLNA client.
if anyone could please tell me which app definitely works for that on the Transformer, i'd be most appreciative, please, and thank you !

Hi Ken,
Maybe my experience will be of any use to you. So here it goes.
I am (also) mainly interested in using the stock player (MyNet) for videos. For various reasons, primarily because of hardware acceleration. Unfortunately Android audio/video codec support is "pathetic" as well as container support. Probably those are choices due to licensing restrictions. If one does not have files in the natively supported format(s) the only option for on-the-fly transcoding is MPEG4/AAC in Transport Stream. WEBM could be a viable option but MyNet has no support for WEBM, sigh. Unfortunately Android explicitly states that transport streams are NON SEEKABLE (even locally).
I have tried: PMS Server, Mezzmo, Isedora, JR Media Center, Plex Media server, TV Mobili, Serviio, Twonky, Wild Media Server. Apart from the fact that some are not free only a few have support for transcoding into H264/AAC. Some are more configurable than others. Some have features that I am not very interested in, like automatic download from the INet of the covers, metadata etc. The ones that I played with the most are:
PMS Server: can't transcode to H264, free, very configurable, stable
Mezzmo: can transcode to H264/AAC, not free, very configurable, has some stability issues
Serviio: can't transcode to H264, free
Wild Media Server: very configurable, can transcode to H264/AAC, stable, very strict licensing (per MAC address of devices)
All of the DLNA servers that I have tried (even the non free ones) use third party FFMPEG or MENCODER for transcoding. And all exhibit a bug when transcoding the audio into AAC - half of the times the audio is transcoded with a very low bitrate (~6kb), despite correct transcoding settings, that MyNet doesn't want to play.
As you can see "native" client support for Android/TF101 is very limited. I have experimented also with transcoding to MPEG2/AC3 or MP3 in Program Stream container (or TS) and using other players (like UPnP + vPlayer). The results seem better but not without issues (sometimes not fluid, sudden closures of the player etc).
Hope it is of any help to you.
Cheers.
ArkMC is working well for me, basically as good as upnp player, lets you choose a 3rd party player to play your media.... but the gui is MUCH nicer than upnp player.

Hello,
I'm using the free application iMediaShare from Bianor available for free in the market.
this application makes me able to stream all the media from my tablet (Asus TF101) but also from my HTC Desire, on my SAMSUNG DLNA compatible TV, with no cables.
It was also possible to stream others media (like youtube directly from the android devise).
hope it was helpful.
PS : My tv is connected directly to my router with Ethernet and my devices connected to the router via WIFI.
can give skifta a try, it's free from the market.

Thanx for the tip, first time that I hear of Arkuda.
Tried the free version of ArkMC last night and indeed the UI is pleasant. Has a few quirks but it seems to be an early release so eventually they should be ironed out.
+1 for ArkMC
I've been using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953084 for long time. It works perfect for me.
Hey everyone,
since version 2.0.10 Zattoo app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zattoo.player) does not provide the option to play video via another video app, e.g. MX Player. Since .10 it uses it's own player, and quality really sucks ass :
I read somwhere that replacing the file ZATTOO_PREFS.xml with an older version makes it possible again.
So my question is,, does anybody still have a zattoo.apk prior v2.0.10 or can at least send me the .xml ?
thx in advance
zattoo experimental player prefs xml file
Hiya,
I have the same problem
My setup is a raspberry pi with xbmc connected to tv, nexus 7 with zattoo and yatse, both on vpn where I could browse channels on the nexus and send to tv/xbmc via yatse thanks to the external player experimental feature but not since the update.
Read abt the preferences file too...
Did you get any luck?
Thanks!
Y'all, for the past 2-3 years I've been begging around all corners of the Internet for an Android music streaming solution (meaning Android-based Internet streaming server + Android streaming client), to no avail. That is until the other day, when someone suggested I use FTP streaming, Anyway, to cut a long story short, I am now looking for a good Android music player with network (FTP) capabilities. I've tried ES File Explorer (good file manager, though pretty clunky when it comes to music playback capabilities, nor can playback be controlled via Bluetooth (can it?)), and Dice Player (no playlist features whatsoever).
Any other suggestions please? Bluetooth playback control is a must. Many thanks!
Try Twonky!
It is capable of being a host, speaker, server, and it can discover all network servers, speakers and hosts.
The UI is not the best, but the functionality is really great!
Edit: Read your post again, I'm not sure if this is what you want.

Thanks. As far as I can tell, Twonky doesn't stream from FTP (though I'd gladly stand corrected).
WiFi Streaming
way to use WiFi Streaming?
I don't know if this will work for you but instead of ftp how about xbmc? It can use multiple network protocols including upnp. Install xbmc on the desktop to act as a server and on the Android device to act as a client.

Thanks for the suggestion, what I need is an Android-based server that streams music onto the Internet. An FTP server should do just fine, but I need a client that supports FTP streaming.
Have you looked at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829334 might be something in there that you can use

Yes, thank you, that is the FTP server that I am currently using. It's the FTP client that I am after at this point: I need an FTP client that is somewhat more music playback-friendly than ES File Explorer. Does anyone know if any of the following clients fit this bill?
Plex
XBMC
Twonky
Subsonic
Skifta
aVia
iMediaShare

Hi Guys,
I just got an HTC ONE and I absolutely love it. I have gotten so much help from this forum hopefully I can start assisting others on my own.
I am also waiting for a chromecast to ship to me, and I am getting a Roku soon.
My basic question is can I do the following:
Use PS3 Media Server on my mac for DLNA streaming. Connect to that server with my Android Skifa app (Select PS3 Media Server as Source).
Then can I select either Roku or Chromecast to stream directly to my TV?
I think If I have my Roku with a DLNA channel I can just choose that as the player in Skifta.
I know if I want to use Roku it will have to be another DLNA hookup. I believe that if I want to do it via Chromecast all I need to do is cast my android screen (which is not available yet but I am hearing there are groups working on that funcitonality.)
Can anyone give any thoughts on if this is possible, if I am explaining the procedure correctly, and if you think this functionality will come to the chromecast in the near future? Thanks a lot for your help!
