Hello all in the past i used coreplayer to stream from my orb box. lately I cant get anything to stream. Coreplayer doesnt support the windows stream and windows media player wont even seem to stream any windows format. the link usally errors out without even trying to open windows media player. Currently im using pks 2.0 rom
thanks all
Tcpmp player ver 0.72 or 0.81 works great for Orb
make sure to give it all the file associations it requires
thanks will try that again.
ok tried it and it says windows media video 9 not supported and window audio not supported by this player using tcpmp .72 with all plugins loaded

I am about to purchase a NAS device to act as a home media server.
So far my short list includes:
Synology Disk Station DS210j
QNAP TS-210 Turbo NAS
Some of them support iTunes server and can stream music to an iPhone. Surely there is a way to do this on the Eris! Is there an iTunes client for Android 1.5 or perhaps a better way to do this?
Any help appreciated!
dont know anything about android, but my nas drive packed in and i got a new one from pc world. i thought it was a nas drive but wasnt it was a network media storage, my ameo couldnt pick it up at all because it wasnt a nas drive, pc seen it fine and could map. hope this is of some help. make sure its nas.
Not sure if your NAS device supports Upnp, but if it does like windowns 7 and can share media as Pictures Music and Videos, I found a program on the market that I could access the files on the computer over my network, the music would work but I couldn't get the videos to play. Search for UPNP on the market, I'll post the program later when the gf brings her phone around. There was a similar program on the Ipod touch, although it was able to play the video files, probably missing a codec in android.
The program was Andromote... if you have windows 7 set up sharing all the media on your nas you would be able to access it.
if a mod reads this, can you pull the restriction.. I don't post much but have used the site for quite a while. Thanks.
It's not exactly graceful, but I use MPD (Music Player Daemon), PMix (an Android client for MPD), and A Online Radio to stream my music collection to my Droid Eris (via Icecast). Unfortunately, the native Droid media player doesn't support the usual streaming protocols, but the above combo works. When I'm outside my home network, I use a web based client for MPD and have my Icecast port forwarded on my router. If the NAS device you pick up supports Linux, you should be able to install MPD and Icecast (both are available in most distros); the Market has both PMix and AOR for free.
The protocol iTunes uses for streaming audio is called DAAP, but I'm unaware of any DAAP clients on the Android platform yet. Searching google for "Android DAAP" led me to a site which offers a client application to control iTunes from Android, but not client. Again, if the NAS system runs Linux but doesn't provide a DAAP server, you can possibly install Firefly Media Server (formerly mt-daap) to mimic the fuctionality. However until there's a client, there is little point.
I want to access my opera web server from my tf201, but everytime I attempt to open a file, I get the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" error. I get the same error for both music and movies. I can, however access these files from my computer (obviously) and open txt documents from my prime. I also have accessed my friends server (not opera, I think it was his hd connected directly to his router) so I know that I can stream music and movies directly from a different IP.
Any ideas?
-thanks in advance!
Hi:
i installed
[ROM] UNOFFICIAL CM9 with working camera
previously i used only webos .
i used kalemsoft media player and streamer for all media including media stored on PC and from another wifi network when away from home.
it works great and is really simple
besides the actual droid version of this app, is there another comparable?
i do want a player able to handle all video types and a matching streamer..
thanx

I use Remote Potato Server on my computer, so I can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.dyndns.piet5211.rempotatoclient on my Touchpad. When I stream video from the app it uses mVideoPlayer to open it.

For a decent DLNA server, check out TVersity (do a Google search).
BubbleUPnP from Play Store is a reasonable, free client.
Personally I just share a folder on my PC on my home network, then use ES file explorer to goto the folder and MX Player (which plays nearly everything) to stream to my Touchpad. That way I don't have to install anything on my PC.
You can also try Emit. Its pretty simple but it does use a lot of the remote PC's CPU.

++1 this is the way to go for sure. es file explorer and mxplayer for the win. you dont even need to create shares on the windows PC. just scan the LAN for the computer that you want to access files on, then enter the login username and password that you login to the windows machine with and voila, youll have access to everything on your PC.

I downloaded xbmc android from the pivos website but I didn't try network streaming. Otherwise it seemed pretty functional, if your interested I would try to find a link.
http://www.pivosforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=847
I use a variety of methods .
For xbmc have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813089
The one I prefer is to mount my NAS directory onto the touchpad via "cifs manager" from the market and then I use Vplayer. No issues at all.

I do this with ES File Explorer, works great with the VLC nightly builds as well located here. If you've ever used VLC on a desktop it plays almost every format out there, and the mobile version does too. This is the real, on device version of VLC, not a streamer that relies on a desktop version of VLC to be running.

Install MX Player as per my original post and use that to play your video (just use ES File Explorer to select the video.)
When you select the file in ES Explorer you should get a pop up option to choose a player, like in the screen-shot below from my phone (lent my TP to my mum for a few weeks):

ok when you say "play from network" what do you mean exactly? are you talking about playing a video link from a website? or are you talking about from computer on another network, for example do you want to be able to access your videos on your home computer when you are away from home?
"Install MX Player as per my original post and use that to play your video (just use ES File Explorer to select the video.)"
k,, i'll try again... im having probs w/ other apps also.. there may be a connection between those probs and vid players not behaving..
"ok when you say "play from network" what do you mean exactly? are you talking about playing a video link from a website? or are you talking about from computer on another network, for example do you want to be able to access your videos on your home computer when you are away from home?"
yees, i was speaking of "access your videos on your home computer when you are away from home".
w/kalemsoft player, there is option to type in my known IPaddress etc..
thanx
playing movie files remotely
amkaos,
what you are trying to do requires 2 things, first for your movies to be accessible from outside your lan,
For this, there are a wide range of possibilities. You can use cloud storage, you can open ports on your router and gain access to a NAS device at home from outside, a VPN connection to your home machine, and few others I am sure.
The second thing you need is good connectivity, good download speed to your device and good upload speed from your home network if is where the files reside.
Once you have access to the files and good connectivity you should be able to open the files and play them on your device with most of the software that has been mentioned here.
I hope this helps.
idk how to get xbmc to stream from lan.
es player, mixed results of supporting formats..
couldnt get vlc player to work at all w/ lan
mx player pro wouldnt play atall from lan..
vplayer.. had place to type local ip.. but still wouldnt show the any of the shares on the pc..
would not play when selected from es file explorer..
xbmc ..
this looks very promising but i couldnt even to get it to show in the video choices in es file explorer.
i tried to use local lan ip address //192.168 etc..
smb://192.etc.. as shown in esfileexplorer..
beyond that i dont know how else to search..
i tried to use my actual ipaddy from whatsmyip.. no go there either
mixed results == not playing atall or wont stream, wants to copy entire file then play..
i am sure that part of the probs is that i dont really know how to properly search for the lan share..
vlc..wouldnt show up in esfileexplorer video choices ..
to stream, app wants me to install the player on pc.. im not willing to do that for now..so didnt try it..
thanx
Hi,
my girlfriend wanted to look her pictures from the PC on her smartphone.
So, I found that the Windows Media Player (WMP) supports DLNA and activated it.
On the SGS 3 I activated the settings for DLNA.
In the Windows Media Player I now can see the SGS 3.
And now?
How can I transfer pictures from WMP to Android?
I tried it with drag & drop but it didnt work.
So I tried some DLNA-Apps from the market.
But no one can see my WMP, only the FritzBox Media Server.
I deactivated the firewall but that didnt work either.
Last hope was the BubbleUPnP APP, but that App needs an server address, I guess from WMP.
Can anyone help me please?
You should try ArkMC
It automatically finds your PC in network (note, that they should be in same network)
