I have a Netgear WNDR3400 router with an external hard drive attached to it that I'm able to stream video from to any computer on the network. Is there a way to stream .avi files to the Xoom? The router has the ability to set it up as an FTP server and that way I am able to access the files from the xoom, but no idea how to stream.
Plex, if your willing to have a computer running to transcode. Otherwise I'm not aware of anything that will stream video files from a network share. ES File Explorer will see the files from your Xoom but will not stream. I've yet to find any format that will stream over network without some kind of intermediary software.
Has anyone found an app for this? I have tried andsmb but that only allows for the files to be copied over wifi. is there anything that can actually mount the shared drive to the xoom. then any media player would be able to play it.
This seems like quite a simple thing to do and would make the xoom even more impressive
I am quite new to this forum, so I dont know if it is permitted to post a link to external forums. But here is the link, that might help you:
Ooops. I cannot post a link yet, but if you google "[How To] Video Streaming Over Lan Via CIFS", you will find a post I am referring to.
Yes, CifsManager makes it easy. I got it working and it's awesome! But-- I just did the 3.1 update and the kernel is not compatible yet. As soon as BRD finishes a new kernel for 3.1 we can use it again. If you're still on 3.0 you should be fine. (and rooted of course)
Have anyone hacked Roku and installed Android on it?

Hi, I have some android live TV applications. Is there any way to get a direct link of a specific TV channel or the playlist? (I want to use it in IPTV application).
I tried to get the direct link by opening the apk file by Winzip software. But, I didn't find anything useful. Please help me
I'm sorry if this thread is placed in the wrong area of the forum. After using a few programs I downloaded onto my computer I got TV Portal on the computer which I thought was very cool and something others might have wanted to know. Some of the things I used were Blue Stacks, V Player, TV Portal, and the MX Player x86 Codec. I just wanted to share this with you guys to see if anyone was interested. Here is a link to the tutorial on youtube if you want to see that. If you want to see the tutorial search youtube for watch tv portal on computer, mine should be the first result.
Recently Samsung came out with the Samsung SmartThings link. This is a USB type dongle to be plugged into an NVIDIA Shield TV that functions like a Samsung SmartThings Hub. Since this is a lot cheaper than a hub and can do the same things, it is obviously a useful device (can be currently had for $10 after coupon "SHIELDLINK" on SmartThings website)
I'm sure it's limitation to the Nvidia Shield TV has nothing to do with Hardware but rather software. It works through the Samsung SmartThings link app on the Android TV. This app when side-loaded opens and says your Android TV is not supported. Is someone able to Port this over to any Android TV?
There is a post by Android Police with more details. I can't post links according to XDA so please search.
Here's the APK file on APK mirror (sorry can't post links according to XDA)
It's called SmartThings for NVIDIA SHIELD TV
