hey i have a query
I have a router soley for media streaming as such i have to assign static ips to every pc in the house connected to it
so far i have a ps3 4 laptops and 2 pc connected via wifi and i have one pc by ethernet. not including the server
the server isnt a specially made server its a dell precision 650 with 7 hdds in it and ive basically shared the root of the drives so the pc can share
is there a way to stream to my x10i?
i know theres an option for static ips so thats not an issue but bassically what i want is to be able to browse the pcs sharted drives from with in the phone and perhaps watch a movie ortv show like this
Set up a net server or ftp, probably better on ftp. Then when you've done that on the host and, if it is 192.168.1.101 then go to "ftp://192.168.1.101" then you'll get access to the root of each drive if it's set up right.
That's what I do
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
well i found an app called estrongs file explorer that lets me view stuff on my all im wanting now is the option to view avi files through it
Same here.
I have a MS MediaCenter running at home.
It also have an build in MediaServer. Im able to watch Movies or listen to Music with other streaming clients........
So finaly i want to stream the movies on my X10. But it looks like that there is no app for this. Dunno which one is able to get streams from a MediaServer.
Wasnt it DLNA which was improved / implented with the 2.1 Update?
Great shame that there is no way. Isnt it Arcos who already build an Android Media Player?
So if anyone knows a solution pls post it! Im realy waiting for it.

I've already asked the same question, maybe for christmas?
So now we got the update but still no way to stream videos?
Realy cant understand why.........
I've been at this for a while and have yet to find a valid solution. I know now that DLNA might as well not exist and I've been using a subsonic server with the subsonic app on the market to stream movies and such from my PC to my phone. This works great except it can only be done at my home (not at all over the mobile network). My question is are any of you streaming from PC to phone, then to TV via HDMI? Or streaming at all to phone over mobile network? If so please post what you are using because this feature is basically why I got the phone. In a side note I'm not an amateur with android phones and I have gingerblur running. I figure this question is a longshot and I expect only something like a Cyanogen mod or a future update of gingerblur will make this all possible. Any input is much appreciated.
Hello there,
Is there an app that can route the audio output of my android smartphone/tablet to my PC? I was googling and searching this forum for this topic quite some time, but all I found was the other way arround. From PC to android is not that urgent for me, since I mounted all my network files with cifs.ko to my phone. Although there seems to be something called Pulseaudio. To be more specific - as mentioned in the title - I am not looking for a dlna/upnp solution, because there are some situations where this is not working, i.e. the audio output of applications like grooveshark.
Of course there are a lot of remotes out there: unified remote, awarremote for winamp, gsremote for grooveshark and so on. They are pretty awesome, but sometimes it is quite cumbersome to switch the remote app all the time.
Let me describe the situation I have in mind. You are listening to an audiobook on your phone with your beloved audiobook app (audible in my case) and come home. Then you activate the WifiAudioApp and it connects to your PC and the audio is now playing on your pc speakers.
I am no developer, but I think something like this would be possible, if someone could fool android to believe that it paired with an bluetooth speaker set. But in fact it is an app, that puts audio over Wifi to a client programm on your PC (certainly only possible on a rooted phone). Don't know if this is possible.
There seems to be a gadget, which offers something in this direction:
http://androidcommunity.com/android-gets-airplay-like-streaming-via-xbounds-20111122/
But I am not that interested in video, just audio.
If anyone has suggestions for me, I would really appreciate them.
Best regards,
Bel.
P.S. I think, this would be a great application. To all developers out there: At least you would have one client, who would pay for an app like this. Certainly, there would be more.
it's a great idea!
i'm also have "robo" smartphone and i love listening to music. i have got some mp3-BoomBox which is connected to my Notebook via 3.5mm.
i can listen to music from Android smartphone on notebook via Bluetooth, but also i know that it is possible via wi-fi!
somebody please help us! without any expensive gadgets like ^^^
sorry for my english
I'm looking for an app/ method that can do this and I have found two ways to do this so far;
Method 1:
- Create a directory on my computer to be used only for music that I want on my device.
- Select this directory only for Winamp computer program to search for content in.
- Set up any playlists, preferences, titles etc on the computer program.
- Sync to Winamp app on my device.
If you configure the app and program to sync anytime the device is using the same wireless network (wireless syncing is a great feature of Winamp that actually works, unlike Kies) you will have the same music collection available on both your phone and computer.
Method 2:
- Use Gmote app to remotely control the media content on your pc (you need the PC download, too).
This method is very primitive and can only play files as they appear and not playlists however this can be remedied by creating a directory containing only the files you want to play.
Best I've found so far.
Hi!
This question has mostly to do with laziness
I have my PC downloading all sorts of media during the day, music, videos, etc...
as far as this discussion goes, all of them are completely legal and DRM-free.
My PC is a Dell laptop (i7-2670QM) running legit Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
I have a Samsung i9000 running ICS, and a B&N Nook Color Running CM7,
I tried reading about RTSP and UPnP and other stuff, but couldn't get my head around it, I'm usually good with computers, except for this case.
What I want to do is to setup a media streaming from my PC to any of my devices.
I don't even want my computer to re-encode the media, just stream it as-is, given that
you can play almost any format on android these days.
Is it possible?
If so, what do I need? can I use VLC, or do I have to setup something more serious?
Thanks,
Eugene

Moving to Q&A
have you tried Remote Media Center?
links over 3g, 4g, or wifi. works with windows 7 media center and allows you to stream content from that media center to your phone.
I would suggest xbmc . It works both on windows and linux. It works as server as well as client. On phone side use "Home Dia" which also works as server as well as client.
minidlna is a very good , smal and handy dlna server for linux.
All these are free.
Is this what u need?

Ok So what you need to stream your music and all sound from your pc or laptop to your phone right? well if so just download the SoundWire on your Android phone, you can get free version and full version in my case i can get all paid apps for free and i can tell u how, but now download that app and then go to download the soundwire server at georgielabs.cjb.net/[/url] install it once installed open the Soundwire server then app the app and enter the server ip showed on ur Soundwire server on ur pc. Im using it with my wifi. so i hope is what u need! take care
Use vlc direct

You can simply go on play download free app called "mediahouse upnp" and it will find dlna servers or just use es file explorer which will find any device on your wifi network.

Use es file explorer. It detects network devices and let Yoy browse them (if You set everything properly). After that just open Your file

I have tried streaming 720p movies and it is impossible.
Is DLNa/UPnP limited from WiFi/Internet bandwidth?
I calculated that with a speed of 7mpbs it would be easy to stream 720p content. Supposedly the android tv box I have with the router could easily reach more than 7mbps but.. it doesn't! Why??
try ArkMc app use, by DLNA supporting and connect PC as a server and stream to other devices what do you want, video, photos..

HomeDJ is best alternative to any Android streaming apps
Try it.
No firewalls, dynamic playlists, nice GUI, easy to setup.
HomeDJ forum is here:
http://www.homedj.net/forum
or summary here:
http://www.homedj.net
Kinda late to the party here.
But after several moths on trying out various services mentioned here on the thread i found them to be complicated or just to much work to it.
After searching here in XDA i FINALLY found it. It called Tonido. It can stream any file from your PC (also Linux, and Mac) with a secure connection. Trust me try it out your self and you wont be disappointed.
Hope my post can help some out who is looking for such solution...
Hi,
my requirement is i have multiple android phones installed at different places. Each have 3G internet connection. I need to PUSH the stream to Web-Client that has multiple embedded players in a webpage. This is surveillance system. I have not designed the webpage Yet.
This is a Live stream but i may want to record video on hourly basis in later stages of project.I don't need to store the videos more than a day there by releasing the space occupied. This storage of file can be in my local sdcard or on my webserver.
Basically i want a Peer-Peer Live Streaming. My scenario is MANY-ONE. There will be only one viewer. For this, Do i really need a Mediaserver like WoWza or RED5?
I have seen many forums. I have tested Wowza on my localhost and it is working fine, if i want to test over the internet.. i mean push my stream over 3G. I am specifically mentioning this "*pushing Live Stream over 3G*" because many people may offer a solution of Port Forwarding which i tried. When i did port forwarding my port "8080", i could see my local stream over the Internet by using my External IP of Router. Basically, my phone now works like an IPCamera.
But this is not what i need. I need my android phone to push the stream to My Own public webserver that has HTTP..My WebServer is not a Media Server.
My question is Do i need to use a Media Server like WoWZA or Opensource RED5? As there will not many people watching the stream, Can i avoid this?
Please Help!!!!!
