When attempting to share a video file to YouTube the uploader immediately force closes.
Things I have tried that have no positive affect:
-different file types (mkv, avi, mp4, divx, mov)
-different networks (home router, backup router, 2 neighbors routers, phone tether)
-different file browsers (stock manager, stock gallery)
Thoughts?
Edit:
While typing this my prime crashed and rebooted, after rewriting it i thought I'd give it a go for kicks. Works now.
Weird, but I'd still like to know if anyone else is having any issues.

hi guys,
i´ve recently got an tab 10.1 and, of course, one of the first things i tried was streaming from my NAS.
Unfortunately this doesn´t seem to work all that well - no matter how i connect (uPNP or filebrowser), the videos lag like hell. Its a like a really slow dia-show.
On my Nexus 1 (2.3) it works like a charm (using the same apps and of course WIFI)
Has somebody experienced similar behavior?
No problems with my Synology NAS and Dice Player. I use ES file explorer to connect to my folders (smb).
Edit: Back when I used Moboplayer, I think I remember problems with lags unless you force software decoding when streaming movies. You can enable it in the settings.
No problem with my tab and NAS either. I'm using cifs module and mount Nas volume directly or just use upnp protocol and stream movies.
Try to download that movie to your tab and then play it... Would it still lag? If so that this is not a steaming problem but video format/tab player thingy.
And If it would play fine then start looking at network setup.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have no problem either. My NAS is a qnap 219p

yes, locally they all play without problems - the weird thing is, that it works just fine on my Nexus phone. Using the exact same setup and apps...
i tried it with SMB and uPNP and various videoplayers - they all load up the movie, but the playback is unbearably slow.
The tab is also "fresh out of the box", so no modifications/rooting or anything else that might cause that.
but obviously its not a general honeycomb problem
ok, its a player issue! "Dice" works right away (thanks!) and "MX Video Player" works, if you force "S/W Decoder" in the settings --> smooth playback

can you test your wifi speed? Just time some big file download.
Just as example, using cifs module my transfer speed is about 1.3Mbyte per sec. Ghost commander with build in smb protocol is around 2.0 Mbyte per sec.
Laptop with N wifi goes around 9.0 Mbyte per second.
Hey,
I have been looking for a decent way to set it up so I can watch videos on my prime without using slapshtop to do so. I know that the prime has dlna capabilities.
Right now we have two drives networked and mapped to computers throughout our house and if I could somehow get those networked onto my prime that would be ideal but anything that would play the files would be fine.
On top of this does anyone if it is possible to set it up so I can watch the videos via wifi when not at home?
Yes I looked for some sort of guide on here to set it up but couldn't find one.
Thanks.
I don't think there is a way to access shared drives or folders in my net. I just started trying to do the same thing with my networked drive. Use ES file explorer, you can browse shared windows folders and smb shares. There are other apps like antek app explorer and astro that support this but you need to download an app ad in the market.
To set up sharing over the net you would have to look into a cloud service or you could set up a server with IP forwarding. I don't know much about that, I'm sorry.
How do youeven watch videos on splash top. I tried but the frame rate was horrible.
You could try plex to watch videos via wifi

Install bubble upnp and mx videoplayer on your prime. Install serviio on your pc.. Combination is briljant.

On Mac I use mediatomb - work great with build in upnp app on prime.
VLC Pro. love it.
I'm using ES File Explorer and MXplayer to watch video over Wifi. I've found 720p to work great, haven't tried 1080p yet. I get a little stutter with 720p video and haven't decided if it's the TFP transcoding or the wifi signal that causes it.
I'm really struggling to get all my videos to stream and am looking for solutions. So far I've had the best luck with My Net and ES with Mobo but I still get several files that wont play audio at all or just loud static. Any ideas without having to convert all my files? Is there a clear list of audio and videos codecs that the TFP will play. I dug around for a bit but didnt find a definitive list.
Thanks!

Nothing beats PlayOn.
I have had great success with ES and MX Player but I haven't tried a lot of file types.
BSPlayer and Dice player WILL play anything you throw at them .. and they both have a Lan function to locate files on network shares without needing a seperate app.
I use Dice player and find it works like a charm. You can access a share directly from the app as mention by dannyb.
If you have dlna then try an app called UPNPLAY in combination with Dice player.... this is what I use to stream from my netgear nas.
With mx player you need to change to software encoding sometimes to get sound. Maybe the same with whatever you are using.

+1 on the BSPlayer. My NAS was really flaky on the DLNA and I wanted to play MKV files. BSPlayer worked a charm on SMB shares without add on software
PLEX! Run the server on your PC, load the app on any android device and stream. The nice thing about PLEX is that it uses your PC to decode, then streams to the device. This eliminates codec issues, and allows you to stream any file type to any device that supports the PLEX app. It also allows remote mobile connections, and is the best I've found, even on 3G. It also will work as a DLNA server, if you choose to bypass the PLEX app, although then decoding is done locally on the device.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I've tried each but none work flawlessly. Either stuttering, low frame rates, bad compression, taskbar doesnt hide etc. I've used speed test and wifi analyzer and dont seem to have any issues there. I went and picked up a new ipad just to check it out (dont plan to keep it, really dont understand using a tablet and having to hold it all the time) and the boxee app is phenomenal. I saw they were hiring a lead android app developer so hopefully we'll see something soon but I'm not holding my breath. I'll keep digging and see what I can find.

Easy..... I stream videos from my PC to tablet daily. Get TVersity on your Desktop (it's free) and then download Skifta & MX Video on the prime, bothe are free too.
Depending on your router you may need to change port or QoS settings. but it works flawless, my gf even watches vids on her iPad2 while I'm on my prime.
Streaming may lag or fail if your router is crap or desktop is too slow....

+1 that seems to be the best option for me too
I had my asus transformer prime for over a few days. And whenever trying to watch streams on twitch.tv or own3d I have just poor fps and choppy video on the streams. I'm running ics 4.0.3 tried reinstalling all apps, different browsers, factory reset or apps that runs the streams and none worked or same choppy/laggy quality.

Just got the S3 couple days ago and I have a problem with WIFI Streaming at home.
Previously, I have been using the Transformer to stream large video files over wifi without having any issues.
On the S3, I have tried ES File, and File manager to stream videos and transfer files that are over 500MB. Streaming stopped at various times and transferring large files always stopped at some point and eventually crashed the transfer. I don't know what's the issue is and WIFI seems to be stable and I never had an issue in regards to losing connection.
When the video is played, it would load to certain point, and then when the video reached that point, it would stopped.
This happened on MX Player and the default video player.
No problem at all when the same video is played from internal memory.
Transferring and streaming small files such as MP3 seems to be ok.
WIFI is set to always on during sleep.
I even tried to *#0011# method to turn off WIFI power save mode.
Anyone knows what the issue is?
THANK YOU!
Anyone able to help?
Can someone please help? Thank you!!
Same video streaming issues. problem details.
Hi.
I'm just a week into Android OS but have good knowledge of Windows and networks.
I bought a Sammy 7" Tab 2 (ICS) last week and liked it so much, I gave it to my wife and got a Samsung 7.7 (Honeycomb). So, I have both OS's to play with. Both are WiFi only. Both have the same problem.
I have a large collection of old movies & tv (w/o DMR) on my W7 desktop's hard drives. I can copy the files via USB or over WiFi using "ES File explorer" with no problems. Once the files are on the tablets local drives, xvid, avi, wmv, mkv, and mp4 all play perfectly.
If I stream the video, using "ES File explorer", wmv and mp4 files play fine, but the other formats don't. I've tried Mobo and 2 other players with the same results. Most of my library is in xvid format. I can covert them, but that's a nutty solution.
Anyone have the same problem? Better yet, understand why and have a solution?
