Admins please move if not in correct forum.
So i know i can watch any saved audio, video, photo, but can i use the DLNA media server to watch something like a Youtube video.
Example can i watch a YouTube video on my TV (via PS3 DLNA) that is playing on the YouTube player on the phone?
thanks
Can the stock video player with the pop out player be used to (or modified to) play dlna streams initiated by upnplay or another dlna client?
Hi,
I have router TP-1042ND with HDD USB connected and running media server... Stock player sees nearby devices TPxxx and plays movies but without subs (they are in correct SRT format and they have the same name as the movie)... Is there anything i can do with it? What other players can plays DLNA movies but with subtitles? I should change something in router (no much options)...?
Thanks!
Thomas
Anyone had any luck adding support for AC3/DTS audio codecs to stock video player? I've tried methods in this thread, designed for 32-bit devices running KitKat, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-sound-support-galaxy-tab-pro-8-4-tw-t2964732, but it didn't do anything on my Galaxy S6 Edge.
Dice Player, MX Player of course have the necessary support for these codecs. But when it comes to streaming videos to TV via an Allshare Cast Wireless Hub, only the stock video player is able to play directly to TV "DLNA style", rather than just mirror screen. And that results in considerably smoother playback..
What's your best combination of software/hardware for streaming videos from your phone to TV?
I use vlc player.
Hey guys, i'm looking for best android apps to stream videos to chromecast. The problem is that most of them only support mp4 files. I found only one that supports all file formats, it transcodes the file on the fly on your phone and streams directly to chromecast. its called Megacast. Does anyone know anything similar?
Try using Plex... It's a paid app, but free from time to time in Amazon App Store
Megacast - Chromecast Video
This isn't strictly a Chromecast app, but rather than Android one that you'll need to download on your phone. Regardless of how you get it on your TV, through, Megacast is an excellent Chromecast player that has real-time transcoding support, allowing you to play files from your phone or tablet that aren't supported natively on your individual Chromecast device. This includes AVI, MKV, 3GP files and more. It can also automatically pre-load subtitles or let you add your own, making it one of the most flexible video streaming apps around
The Google Chromecast lets you display video, photos, pictures and other media content from supported apps on your big-screen TV, using your Android or iOS device as a remote control. You can also send content straight from a Chrome Web browser on your computer. There are hundreds of apps that take advantage of this unique technology, which Google calls "casting," to offer a new way to link.
Try BubbleUPnP
BubbleUPnP, many video + audio options, local transcoding, supports configurable subtitles and transcodes only when necessary.
Plex always transcodes when using subtlitles, always thanscodes if audio is Dolby/DTS to Stereo, and does not support AC3 passthrough as BubbleUPnP does.
Plex is a hog.
+1 for BubbleUPnP, amazing Android app. With a good media server running on the pc (like Serviio) you can stream everything to your Chromecast (transcoding is done by the pc).
Not a huge fan of BubbleUPnP, when I download something off ttorrent, its a roll of the dice of it will work with it. I'd have to say my go to is local cast. Worst is allcast
Allcast isnt bad. I mainly use it to stream Showbox
Plex by far.

Emby all the way. Its,s free, its for, its better than plex
BubbleUPnP also works with DLNA and transcoding on the fly. With a powerfull device is amaizing. Slow devices work with hickups. Waiting for a while for Mxplayer to chromecast but still no go.
