so, there used to be a program called ORB that allowed you to stream audio/video/pictures from your home network devices to your evo4g; they stopped updating it awhile ago, and, it no longer works with 2.3.3
has anyone found a system/program, that allows you to stream stuff from your home DLNA compliant sources, to the EVO3d?
preferably, via 3g/4g, so it would work when you are away from your home wifi..
thanks so much!
Yes, it comes preinstalled on the EVO.. its called media server... When you click on gallery, you can touch the top bar and pick media server and it will search for available content...

unfortunately, it doesnt show any of the videos on my 2 DLNA compliant NAS boxes...
anyone else find anything?
thanks!
Try using iMediaShare, its a free app that works well on my PS3.
imedia share shows the nas boxes on my network, but, wont play any .mkv files, which is how I encode my bluray movies...
I guess I need a media player that plays .mkv files over the network...
I used iMediaShare with MoboPlayer and it plays mkv from DLNA sources. It stutter a little.

how do you get imedia share to use moboplayer?
I can't seem to get imedia share to see that I want to use moboplayer to play vids..
thanks!
I didn't have to do anything, it switched to MoboPlayer when I pick a mkv movie.
is the .mkv file on your phone, or on your home network server?
I need to see stuff on my home network server..
thanks
mkv is on my WDTV Live player. I'm streaming DLNA from the WDTV Live.
I was trying to stream with SMB to the Evo 3D but couldn't get it to work without it downloading the whole movie before it plays. My Archos 101 have no issue streaming 720p mkv through SMB.

I wish I could get Imedia to see my NAS drives, where I keep all my media stuff..
I used to use a program called Orb to stream stuff from my NAS boxes to my phone, and it worked like a charm, via 3/4g and wifi..unfortunately, they never updated the program to work with 2.3...
Oh well, I guess I will keep looking. thanks for your suggestions!
I'm still looking for a solution to stream 3g/4g. Currently I can only stream on the LAN. Let me know if you find something.
its not DLNA, but you might try subsonic
Looks like the new gingerbread update now supports MKV video files from Gallery but doesn't play subtitles. Is there a settings to enable it to display subtitles? For now, I'm using Moboplayer to do this.
Thanks in advance
Really? I can't play a real 720p more then 15fps

I just play 480p anime shows that are MKV files but the subtitles don't show. I like it now because I can play it on the Entertainment option when I connect to TV. But alas, no subtitles. Does anyone know if that's even possible with default player?
thats not possible on any device with android
that player simply doesn't exist xD
Try using Mobo. It kicks ass and supports subtitles too.
Is there a way to use AllShare (or some other app) that will allow to transcode video while streaming over DLNA?
What I wanted to do is to stream mkv video files to a PS3, as the SGS2 (and other apps like mxvideo) support it on android, can this be transcoded to mpeg2 or other codec so the PS3 can play them when streaming from the phone?
Anyone has try using flyer to play a 720p video? Does it lag or having some delay on frame?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e
Depends on where the source of the file is. 1080 chokes, 720 is fine.
If on the device (internal or external sd cad), it works fine... You will have to downmix the audio to stereo before transferring as the built in player doesn't do it for you, 5.1 AAC and 5.1 AC3 don't work... No sound. ..or use a third party application. The only one I have been able to find that can handle 5.1 is Dice Player. It software decodes at a cost of some video quality. No dropped frames, but artifacts galore. Moboplayer and the built in player don't artifact the video but the sound problem.... Also Dice is a pay app and I don't use my Flyer for video much anyway (have a HTPC for that).
If streaming over wifi on your home network, same prerequisite for the downmix applies. Also, I would recommend an 802.11n router. 802.11g tends to lag out on the larger files (>4gb)
If streaming over the Internet, the lag will depend on the internet connection itself.
Probably a bit longer of an answer than you were intending, but hope this helps.
That was a good detailed answer.
The short answer is that yes the Flyer can handle 720p playback and just like any other tablet as long as the format matches the accelerated HW CODECs, it works fine. Like any other tablet, feed it something strange and it won't playback smoothly.
It was so detail.. thank you very much..
Btw, I am using flyer to watch 720p rmvb format.. anyway.

So, the Flyer does not natively support RMVB video. If you are not getting good playback I would convert to one of the native formats. if you can.
.3gp, .3g2, .mp4,
.wmv (Windows Media Video 9)
.avi (MP4 ASP and MP3)
.xvid (MP4 ASP and MP3)

The BS Player does a good job for me. No lag issues thus far with using 720 files that I have viewed.

I know this may not be the perfect thread to ask, but what I found on XDA has been inconsequential.
Do you guys manage to feed >4GB video files (as the 720p videos tend to be) to the Flyer? How? I've tried and got "file too large for the operating system"

I have several Bluray rips (of discs I own) on a NAS, LAN is gigabit ethernet and wifi is 802.11n. Each rip weighs in between 9-10gb after a mild compression from 1080p to 720p (1080p + nvidia ion2 + linux + xbmc = fail). The rips are MP4 with AAC audio.
The nas is set up to serve the files over upnp and/or samba. So, I used upnplay (https://market.android.com/details?id=cx.hoohol.silanoid&hl=en) to locate the file and it asks to open with a video player.
No errors given as it is streaming over the LAN instead of playing off the device.
However, if you are planning on playing the files straight off the Flyer, handbrake can reduce it further to a 2gb file with 2.0 audio, no discernable video loss on the 7" screen.

On edit: was browsing around and found a reference for Skifta (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skifta.android.app) as a upnp client. Using it instead of upnplay somehow downmixes 5.1 to 2.0 on Moboplayer (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil). One issue is that Skifta doesn't support landscape, but it's only a minor annoyance.

yea, actually I don't need the 720p, just the video original is that size. I watch it by Flyer because I can watch it while travelling. Am too lazy to convert.. haha.. So I would need to find a video converter =) anyway thank..

I'm not sure about this. My video is about 500-750MB, it might be compress by rmvb format. And Flyer has a hard time to play it.
Well problem is, for some formats the player has to do conversion on the fly and that degrades performance. That's why you may need to covert first. Yes its no fun and it takes time, but you can then guarantee lag free playback

It will take me a few hours to test while a raw Bluray rip reencodes, but I think I have a Handbrake profile to convert the video to a format that is both small in file size and playable on the Flyer with no lag and little visual degradation (using the built in player)...

Does anyone knows how to play Divx/Xvid videos trought DLNA default app ?
i have an home server (debian Wheezy) that offers some services.
I have MiniDLNA .24 Daemon on it, that permits my Samsung TV to play videos trought DLNA service.
I had an i9000 by Samsung that could also play videos or music trought DLNA.
Now with Xperia S i have a DLNA app by default (connected devices), with this app i can browse my DLNA resources but once i try to view a resource (jpg, mp3, avi or mkv) i always get an "Unrecognized Format" error...
why ?
is there a better DLNA browsing APP ?
i found BSPlayer, with that i can browse my SMB share on the server and play the media, but it's NOT DLNA... it uses SMB shares, that i would like to switch off sice i didn't have Windows machines at home...
Neither I could play videos and music from my synology NAS, but I could with BubbleUPnP...
It seems the default DLNA app does not recognise any alternative players on the phone.
I installed moboplayer app (for Divx/...) and UPnPlay app. UPnP works similar to the default DLNA app, but when you select a Divx video it allows you to choose where to play it, for example using moboplayer.
You can even push the video to a DLNA player, like WD live TV or DLNA compatible TV.

Thanks, i got mad trying to define a working DLNA profile with serviio instead of MiniDlna for this phone, but it seems like the default player only work with MP2 streams (DVD format) even the x264 didn't work... it's really bad...
i will try UPnPlay, and if it works i will throw away serviio and restore MiniDlna wich is better for my Samsung TV and my sanity
Try 'VPLAYER'.....
I use mediaHouse as "browser" instead, and Vplayer to play the movies...
