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 would like to share video from my computer / sgs2 on the tab. I cannot find a way to launch allshare although the internet suggests this should be possible. Sending files via Bluetooth doesn't seem to work, either and the 2 devices have a lot of problems finding each other. What is the best way to play video stored on my phone wirelessly on the tab?

I'm using a TVersity Media Server on my desktop and Skifta on my tablet to stream music and video (using Dice Player). Works very well, at least for my 720p tv series.
I use TVersity straight to my tab's browser.
+1 for Tversity, and i use UpnPlay for the viwer
since plex is not working anymore i now use emit.... works great for me
i want to test this option also in the future:
Code:
I'm using a TVersity Media Server on my desktop and Skifta on my tablet to stream music and video (using Dice Player)
i also tried to connect via a file explorer, but could not setup a connection because i dont have/want a password on my windows 7 account(s)

what is the best way for me to stream. Mp4 movie files i converted with handbrake pc version to my galaxy tab? what is everyone using? Thanks
Plex is amazing. I have it running on my WHS and stream MKV files over both Wi-Fi and 3G with no stuttering. It displays movie descriptions and episode descriptions for TV shows. It also support audio with album art. It's pretty slick and impresses everyone I show it to. Both PlayOn and Orb Live work also but they're not nearly as elegant. PlayOn and Orb Live support Hulu without stuttering if that has any value to you. BTW, none of them are free.
Excuse my ignorance. What is whs?

If you already converted the movies simply use ES file explorer to access a shared folder on the PC. ES file explorer is a crude app to use and is not tablet optimized but at least you dont have to run a streaming app on your PC which take up alot power to run. No reason to re-encode the movies you already re-encoded.

Are you able to stream videos from outside the network using that method?
One of the other features I enjoy with Plex is able to stream from anywhere using either my tablet or my laptop. It's not just limited to android .

For outside the network I guess I would use Plex. Inside, no way. Plex uses way too much CPU resources on even on high end PCs. It takes alot to re-encode movies in real-time. No reason to stress your PC when you dont have to. Besides, you can access shared folders with your laptop as well you know.

I use to used media player 11 to stream on my laptop, but plex completely changed that. And no, it does not use that much resources to run, I have a Q9300 with 8 GB of ram, and it uses maybe... maybe 2% of my memory and nothing on the processor. I even did a stress test and had it stream to my desktop, laptop, and tablet while playing videos using XMBC on WHS with DTS @1080p... no hiccup.
So no, it does not stress my PC.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am going to go through this as quickly as possible. I was not overtly sure where to post this; however, I have the Rezound and it is what I set it up on.
A little about my historical background: I started with TVersity and used that for a long time prior to getting my Droid. I upgraded to the OG Droid and when Flash finally hit I moved over to Orb. I hated the app and always received better quality from logging into mycast.orb.com. However, the quality was never something I was overtly fond of. I eventually switched to PlayOn as they had the added bonus of Netflix and Hulu but the horrid additional cost of a yearly fee. Quality was much better though. Netflix and Hulu released their own apps and PlayOn seemed a bit useless other than accessing my local media which, while not great, was free with Orb. I eventually did switch to the spinoff of XBMC media server called Plex. Plex is awesome. Streams anything to the phone and does a pretty decent job. The only down side I found to Plex is its tendency to make it really hard to find anything. It auto stacks movies. Having a whole folder dedicated to sequels such as Spiderman Cd 1, Spiderman Cd2, etc. I discovered the only way to watch Spiderman 2 was to load Spiderman 1. I could either rename every movie or live with it. No no no, not going to work even if Plex costs just $5 and streams my bluray mkv files. Needless to say, I have “some” experience in this. So let’s get started:
DOMAIN
If you are like me and are not willing to pay for a static IP address and you have to power cycle your network as it’s quite large – you seem to have a new IP address at least 4 times a week. Head on over to dyn.com and sign up for a free account.
Once logged in - go to “My Services” and click on “Add Hostname”. Pick something that you’ll remember or just write it down for now. Host with IP Address and Activate. Assuming you have a windows machine head over to dyn.com/support/clients/windows/installguide/ and get the Dyn Update Client (any other OS still head over to that link and click your OS on the left). This will update the domain name to the new IP address assuming you get a new IP address. There’s a How To Setup guide on that page so I won’t go into it. Assuming everything was done correctly your domain is now tied to your IP address.
FTP
Going to assume you do not have a FTP Server already setup on your PC. If you do, skip this and move on. Otherwise, head over to filezilla-project.org and download the Server. Install and Run. I know it’s weird, but when it launches it will ask to connect to the FTP Server, this is the local IP of 127.0.0.1. Just keep it default and move on. In the upper left there is File / Server / Edit / ?. You can Click Edit > Settings. I personally did not do much on that option. I kept it passive without SSL. Up to you on what you want to configure here. We will click Edit > Users.
GENERAL : On the right at least add yourself. Enable your account, give it a password, CHECK BYPASS USERLIMIT OF SERVER, make sure both options under this are set to 0 (meaning infinite).
SHARED FOLDER: Add the directories you want to view. Once added RIGHT click on the directory and select EDIT ALIASES. If you do not give the directory an aliases it will not show when you FTP into it. I personally set an empty folder as my home directory (it’s the one with the H next to is) and that one does not need an aliases. The others; however, must! Set your permission levels, etc..
I did not touch the other two such as SPEED LIMITS or IP FILTER.
PHONE SETUP
On your phone download the following:
ES File Explorer (Yes you “can” use Astro or some other File Browser that has FTP but I prefer ES)
MoboPlayer (the one by Mobo Team – there’s a ton of plugs ins if you want to explore.)
In ES File Explorer swipe till you see FTP Servers. Click the Menu Key > New > FTP (or SFTP if you configured FileZilla for that)
Server: Remember that DYN domain name? That goes here. Eg: Nickname.dynds.ip.com
Port: 21
Mode: Passive (unless otherwise configured)
Username: The Username you added to Account in FileZilla
Password: The Password you gave to said Account in FileZilla
(I do not allow anonymous logins)
Encoding: Leave Alone
Display As: Some name you would like to ES File Explorer to use to represent your FTP.
Click OK.
Tap your FTP in ES and your Folders that you added on the FTP will appear on your Android device. Navigate around to confirm everything works. To stream video, long press a movie and choose OPEN AS > Video > Mobo (if you select it as the default action, future quick taps will launch the video in Mobo)
RESULTS
I’m on 4g and for one reason or another it does seem to take anywhere between 3 to 7 minutes for the video to load. But darn it! It’s a start. I’ve tried the following players :
Rock Player = Force Closes
MX Video Player = Kind of works and kind of does not
Mobo Video Player Pro = Doesn’t work
QQPlayer = Does not even show up as an option to play as
VPlayer = Same as QQPlayer
The only player that I have had consistent successful trials over 3g and 4g is the Mobo Player by Mobo Team. I’m open to ideas on how to cut down on that load time though.
This does work. There’s no need for Cifsmanager to mount the network drive (and then we would have to have root) and or to download the whole file over FTP. It does stream and the quality is actually better than TVersity, Orb, PlayOn, and Plex.
The DYN Domain name works with other things as well. I control my utorrent with Transdroid and use the Domain name.. so really, just that alone has been awesome.
Hope this helps some people and like I said, I’m open to suggestions to make this quicker!!!
Thanks for info, I already have everything setup previously (ssh on my linux box, es already installed and i have my server already added in) at but I'm not in a 4G area so I can't test it out.
The only way I can think of transferring files faster is compress the video more or increase your upload speed. How big are the files you're transferring and what's up upload bandwith on your server?
The whole point was that you don't transfer the file, it streams. Following the method layed out above - the file streams over the internet via FTP to your phone.
For heavy users like me, FTP is much better than the cloud at the moment. Those File Size limits just will not do for me. Anyway this is a very interesting thread; I already have FileZilla set up using DD Wrt and the awesome NAT Port Forwarding. I tried with MX Video player but it seemed to not want to load up. Going to try with MoBo.

I have a great app for my Ipad (i know i know) lol -- that does streaming nicely over wifi or even tethered to my previous 3g cell... I just upgraded to a 4g android... <---- which is amazing
So to let you guys know what works with this... It's more then just having this all set up! I have noticed that it does not like HD content... but on a 3-4inch screen sd content done right does not look bad at all... lol
Presently i loaded the latest ES File Browser and also MX Player from the Play Store (aka the market) when i add my FTP server with a feed of 20mb/1mb to my 4g cell running about 15mb/8mb it streams files that are under give or take 450mb converted to .mp4 / .avi perfectly with no lag or oos sound... Give it a try and let me know what you guys find... But the most important thing is that the file size needs to be give or take 450mb or smaller otherwise the buffer does not keep up!
Have you tried Subsonic? I'd be curious to see how it compares. It can be set up to transcode and reduce bitrate on the fly. It does have it's own Android app though it launches movies through JWPlayer on the browser.
The server side is a java based app with web interface for management and you can play back music/movies through the web page.
I use it to primarily stream my music collection to my phone but it works for movies too.
Save your time... download DICE player Ads
I have been searching for a player to stream video from my FTP server in my house for months.
I tried various FTP servers and players and nothing worked.
Less than a month ago, I found DicePlayer Ad in Google Play store/market.
search for:
pname: com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial
Now, it says there is ads, but they have presently only included a place-holder (with no live ads) and the name 'trial' also seems meaningless because full functionality is included.
I won't bother explaining how well it works in detail because it's damn near idiot proof. If you're tech-savvy enough to want to stream media from your ftp server, you're tech-savvy enough to be doing so in less than 2 minutes using this app.
I just wish I could find a windows based solution that would work as well as this app. Any movie that I have tried to play, every format, starts to play within approximately 30 seconds. Navigation requires about 5 seconds of seek time. Embedded and subtitles in separate files work. I tried emailing the dev to ask how this works but got no reply, but the speed of navigation leads me to believe that it could not cache much of the media on my device.
I also use this app for video media on my sd because it has all the features of any other player I've tried. I use Music Folder Player Free for music (pname: de.zorillasoft.musicfolderplayer) in case anyone's interested.
Love it... also... anyone know an app that will stream movies over ftp on windows 7?
Yeap I'm still trolling this thread. ^_^ I'm still using Plex. I've had to change some of my file names and completely re-did my TV shows. I still get the best quality streaming from ES File Explorer to Mobo.... but I still have the issue with the HORRID buffer, play, buffer, play... utterly unwatchable.
I get pixelation with Plex but by far the best Computer to Phone quality. After about one or two buffers of about 15 seconds, it streams pretty well. If you have a Jetflix account, its simular in picture quality. Very watchable but not perfect.
I'm trying this Dice player... Took me a second to add my FTP, but its taking forever and a day to list my videos... If it cache's the list I'll be kewl with it. I'll update with my findings on play back.
FTP to PC Windows 7. VLC should work. Have you mapped your FTP to your machine? I'm still using dyndns. I can map my .com to my windows 7 machine at work and it streams. The PC thinks the drive is local. Can take about 10 to 20 seconds for the video to load, but plays perfectly. Let me know.
This is amazing info

I'll have to try FTP. Before I just used CIFS to see network shares from the computer over Wifi (VPN didn't work worth a damn on Gingerbread.)
I finally get ICS with proper working VPN, but now I can't seem to get CIFS working.
Anybody know how to get CIFS properly working on the Rezound? I don't think there are any kernels with support yet.
I don't know if using the FTP server I am is causing the issue or not but no-dice about Dice player. I set it up and it shows the connection on the PC but it never stops trying to scan. I set up a test account with a single video and still just sits there trying to scan...?
Rezound and Cifs - We need an AOSP kernel with it. AOSP as it will address my other issue. Cyanogen has it built in... so it's a matter of waiting for CM to come to the Rez with a functioning ROM.
This and Wii remote connections are my only real complaints about HTC devices. Superior to some as at least HTC unlocks the bootloader (looking at you Moto).
Diceplayer has native FTP/HTTP/SMB support.
But Diceplayer dose not support Passive mode FTP yet.
You did not need to use cifs.ko or ES file browser.
is the another free alternative to dyn.com?
They don't have it as a free service, although they have a trial for a few days free they start to charge you after 14 days it seems.
I dont go for the "free" trials where you are required to give credit card info
Edit: I'm going to try no-ip.com see how that goes
Edit 2: no-ip.com works it has a free personal account option that doesn't need a credit card and works great for this
I can access my NAS box via internal SMB share or external FTP but whenever I long press a movie -> play as -> movie -> select player
The .avi file refuses to play. The stock movie player, MX Video Player, ES Media Player, and MoboPlayer, none of them can play the file.
But VLC can stream the file perfectly fine on a windows machine.
EDIT 1: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus
EDIT 2: Mx Video Player now works over LAN stream with Software Decoding only for my Bleach AVIs
EDIT 3: DicePlayer works with default encoding over LAN stream (supposedly using Hardware decoding) for AVIs
EDIT 4: DicePlayer doesn't work over 3G / 4G FTP streaming
EDIT 5: Mx Video Player works with Software Decoding over 3G / 4G after small buffer time. Was smooth when it wasn't buffering which was maybe every 10 seconds or so. File was 175 megabytes over supposedly 4G. Only need 150KB/S to play the file so not sure why buffering was necessary since 4G should easily sustain 150KB/S
EDIT 6: DicePlayer isn't playing some MKVs over LAN: 8 Mile and American Gangster
EDIT 7: MX Video Player isn't playing audio from some MKVs over LAN: 8 Mile and American Gangster
EDIT 8: Both are playing my Death Note MKVs over LAN with audio and subtitles
ftp streaming
FTP stream video to Galaxy Nexus from home over 3G
Home Router - Cisco Linksys EA3500
Simultaneous Dual Band N750 with Gigabit ports and USB
Plugged external usb drive into USB port on router
Setup FTP share for the drive on the router
Opened ES File Explorer
Setup connection for FTP
When ES File Explorer has a connection with the FTP shared drive, I select the folder with the shows in it.
Selected American Chopper.avi (348MB), the got an open with dialog box, and selected BSPlayer Lite
So BSPlayer Lite can stream from FTP
The video did not stream smoothly, but I'm on Wind and the data speed sucks.
Speedtest.net test was 1.16Mbps
Can someone with a good data connection try it and post the results.
Works on my arc s, through hdmi to monitor with external audio.
But phone screen always enabled.
VLS - smooth, but with step-by-step seek (without direct).
BSPlayer lite - works less smoother but with normal seek.
After days of researching why my ftp streaming wasnt working i finally figured out it was because of ES explorer unable to handle streaming, no matter what app i used(some worked better then others but none was near usable.
With that i finally found a suitable one called Antek explorer on the google app store. You would need the ftp plugin and 3rd party video player(mx player).. All streaming now works perfectly.
Have you guys tried BubbleUPnP? Streams music,pictures,and movies over WiFi or 3G very well. MX player works best for me as renderer. 3G requires bubbleupnp server software to be installed on you pc,but is free. App has a free version with streaming limitations to try it out. I use media player11 on win7 four all my media but there are many options. I like free

NM I'm an idiot.
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....

Hi, I have a NFS share on my desktop, which I use for my WDTV, and use haneWIN NFS Server for it. I would like to be able to connect to this share with my prime to view/play my movies from it if possible. Is there a way that I can mount this share on the tablet and be accessible from within a compatible video player on the prime? Is there a decent player that can play 720/1080p mkv's over wifi? Or am I suck using SMB, or maybe go with DLNA access to my video folder? My prime is rooted, just received the JB update a few days ago. Thanks.

I use ESFile explorer and add my remote folders etc with its server share function... i also have run BSplayer and dice player which both can play files from remote shares.
I have in the past ran Cifsmanager to add remote share links (free from playstore) which should just act like a local folder on your device.

The problem I have with ES File Explorer is that is sees my computer, but it prompts for user/pass, which would mean SMB sharing correct? I mean I could add a user to use this scenario but rather just mount the nfs share already there without doing anything extra. I tried BSPlayer, was kinda choppy playing a 1080p video, but does my SD content just fine. I suppose the prime is more than capable of decoding 1080 mkv's, or is it just the wifi that isn't up to the task (the tablet wifi itself). cifsmanager I could never get to mount correctly, so that was a wash. Thanks for the help.

You should only need to add the username and pass the once if you add a server. at least i do anyway ... whats wrong with SMB?
I'd guess that the 1080p vids are too much for the wifi network... what speed is it?
