If u mean that u want to stream a movie from a PC, then i recommend Gmote 2. Really it's the best app for streaming music or videos from your PC.
HBO Go please! I'll be dancing for joy when an app is compatible with HC
tv show stream is good too
Plex is what you want. Direct transcoding from PC to tablet. Max is only 5000mbps bitrate but still very nice.

unfortunately tv show stream and movie stream were pulled from the market and arent being supported anymore but I have the APKs and tried them on my tab but when I try to open the links it says I need Xvid. I thought xvid was supported by the tab?
Amazon Prime works for streaming movies and whatever else they offer. I've only dabbled there, but the first 10 minutes of Highlander came through great on the tab.

HBOGO works via the webpage and HULU also works if your rooted and install the required file.
Netflix app supported at all?

TV shows stream works fine on mine.. glad I kept a backup of the apk. Not so lucky on movies stream unfortunately, so I can't test it out.
I didn't think either were reliant on the decoding capabilities of the device, since it plays in the browser, but I've always had mobo player installed. Maybe try that?

+1000 for this. since getting my android phone, I have tried various methods for streaming from my home server. my buddy has the air media for his icrap which made me search even harder for a solution on my tablet. plex super easy to setup, I had an issue with port forward but that was because my router and UPnP would not let go of the port to enable the port forwarding.
all around great app for streaming.

Thank you, Plex works pretty well. My new 10.1 just became a hundred times more awesome. I've been using Sagetv dvr and have recorded a lot of tv shows. Now I can stream them to my Galaxy tab, cool.

I looked at it in the market and it says stream music nothing about video. Am I blind?
Also can anyone compare this to playon? Mainly the ability to rewind or fast forward the stream because playon can't do this and according to playons admins on their forum android is not capible or some crap which I'm sure is not true because Netflix and YouTube can manage to do it.

thanks man I had mobo but never actually opened it up. Your post made me look into it again and when I opened mobo it downloded the codec needed. Nice! now movie stream and tv stream work great. Too bad its unsupported for updates anymore.
Loved these aps and with a mega video login I was golden.
For streaming your own stuff:
UpnPlay app to stream Video and a videoplayer app for playback.
Firgured out I can attach a HDD to my router and fire up a router mediaserver - accessible from everywhere. But beware, your Server/Router MUST support video streaming else it's a no go. And don't forget to turn upnp on.
You can also use Twonky as a server tool for windows/linux.
For 720p you don't need a speedy WLAN, 2mb/s are enough. For 1080p it's ~3-3,5mb/s. So every NAS capable router should do it.

PS. I have mobo.....
I have PLEX up and running and can stream audio with no issue but when I lunch a video it errors out. Any one have same issue??
I noticed the picture viewer will play m4v videos that I put on the device through USB, but not FLV videos. What video formats are supported?
Is there anything that will play .flv video files? Any recommendations for better video players?
Thanks
I just purchased KalemSoft Media Player from the App Catalog, the price a little high but it plays many more formats than the stock webos player. I am happy because it's playing my divx movies so it was worth the cost for me.
What formats is the stock software supposed to support?

[Q] Video: Streaming via SMB
Hello world
how can I do to watch movies on my touchpad streaming via SMB?
Are there any applications for it?
I thank you for your help
guys,
i need help to find out a good app to play .avi files on the touchpad ...
i tried installing Kalemplayer, it opens up the file and plays it but the screen is pretty messed up ..
i also did the touchplayer, but i cant seem to make it navigate to any of the file locations.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Stream Video
I would really like to have a good video player on my touchpad which could stream over my home network (samba). The best program I've seen so far is the one which comes with the Archos tablets.
What do you mean you cannot navigate using TP?
for some reason the kalem video player in preware is messed up, you can get a good copy by going to the kalemsoft website and downloading it from there, preware should install it when you try to open it.
http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/downloads2.html
it should be the link highlighted in red
Unable to install Kalem media player either. I was able to download it onto my touchpad but says 'Cannot open MIME type'.
Was one of the many that got it on sale and still pretty new to it. How do I get around this and get it on?
Try the touchplayer. It's back up on Preware.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
When you install it, you have to make you are on 3.0.2. Also, your best bet, install Internalz Pro then install TouchPlayer, after they are installed reboot the device 2 times [for good measure]. They should install all dependencies that you will need.

I cant tell you a way to do it via SMB, but even if I could then you would need to start worrying about compatible codecs.
I would instead suggest Kalemsoft media player. It is seven bucks in the market or Free for the older version on their website.
If you download the server app, setup a DDNS account and forward the default kalem server ports you can stream your home moves to anywhere you have internet access.
If all you care about is streaming while at home, then I would use UPNP...

kalem soft works the best .. still no luck with touchplayer. thanks for the link duplissi
When you use Kalem, you're video isn't lagging at all?? I tried using Kalem and TouchPlayer. Honestly Kalem is better by far because at least it plays my video.... but otherwise, are those the only two video players out there ?
Hi all from Italy.
in a couple of days i will have my Nook Tablet from US and so looking forward to have some good news form the devs...

MX player claims to have support for a few different subtitle formats. including mkv's whith them baked in. I don't think the stock video player is going to support subs, but since we can side load so easily you have many options.
MX Player is what you want
Yup i ve seen Mx specs and i read it has everything i need ( in particular avi + srt files without needs to be hard or softsubbed) so just to be sure ...just need to sideload opening the apk link from browser as per the launcher topic right?
Thanks a lot!
MX seems to play embedded subtitles in .mkv files for me but I have no idea on .srt external files. I will be checking soon though

Yep, that will work. Just go to this link on your NT:
http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/MxPlayer_1_4a.apk
If you have a launcher, it will appear in the app drawer.
If not, Just type MX, in the search after pressing the nook button.
I have an additional question about MX Player. Will it play videos using hardware acceleration like the stock player or is it all software decoding?
MX won't do hardware, afaik, but it's a fantastic player (and you should definitely sideload it or root the tablet). Subs, etc work very well in them - except there isn't a menu to select subs so they need to be named the same as the file. There's one called DICE player that will do hardware acceleration but I believe MX player plays h264s better anyway.
I have converted the videos to H264 MP4 by using format factory. Every time when I played the video, it ran smoothly in the beginning. But when the video was about to end, it started to lag. This circumstance happens to every video I played. May I know if anybody is facing the same problem ? It's really frustrating.
Why do you want absolutely the stock player?
Try mx video + arm7 mx codecs on market.
get Diceplayer, best out there. no need for extra codecs. just dowload the free version and play your video.
Why do it harder then it is?

I saw a thread on other website teaching us to convert the videos into the format which can be played perfectly by the stock player. Therefore I just gave it a try. Ok, thank you for your suggestion.

Definitely MXPlayer Free. The pro version only deletes the Ads, so it is not needed.
O like MX Player better. It also works great when you stream video from LAN. Also, you can use ffmpeg codecs, found here on XDA, so you can decode DTS, that currently is not officially supported by any decent player, 'cos some lame copyright legal bullfeces.

I haven't tested DTS but I do have to straight Bluray to M4V rips that work perfectly with it. It reminds me a lot of Windows Media Center or XBMC.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mpeg2plugin <- $5 plugin (sadly I bought this before I realized that there's a free codec plugin pack)

Gave Archos a try. Played my downloaded movies and TV Shows after installing the proper codecs. It's a damn good media center, but it make more sense if you have a large hard drive attached or if you have a Android Media Center attached to your TV. The SMB/Shared Folder feature is really cool to access and index videos stored on a NAS or remote PC. Overall it's a good player, but I would recommend MX Player, it's free, codecs are free and you can play pretty much everything with it.
Archos have a subtitle downloader tool, but for Brazilian Portuguese, it doesn't make any sense, since the App doesn't distinct Portugal Portuguese from Brazilian Portuguese, at least it didn't when I tried.

If you happen to have or acquire the keyboard dock, you could have a total of 128GB additional space (64GB MicroSDXC + 64GB SDXC). That's plenty of space for me to store a good mobile video library w/o breaking a sweat. If you happen to have more, portable HDD/SSD solutions are getting cheaper. I hope that Archos does improve upon their title searching & brings in a better subtitle downloader.
MX player all the way, plus Adaway makes it MX Player Pro.

Yeah, but MX Player can also access portable USB-HDD, so that make more sense on the tablet, to be honest. Archos Player have indexing problems on the TF300, for instance, every time I close the lid, or put it to rest, videos stored on the external media (SD, microSD and USB-HDD) are lost from the library and then added again, but when that happen, that's pretty much every time, bookmarked times are lost and resume time states are also lost, so it's not really that practical, with MX nothing like that happens.
So, again, it's beautiful, have a very useful network (LAN) content indexing tool to add remote stuff to your library, but it's not that practical, on the TF300T at least. But if you have a Media Center Android that doesn't unmount external media every time it's put to rest (idle), go for it, it'll be perfect actually.
Just a heads up, XBMC is already available for Android, not every hardware handles it yet, but once it spread it's wings, oh boy, we'll be in for a treat
And if you don't know XBMC, drop dead! (or read more about it at xbmc.org

Having some problems with my video playback.
I'm rooted and unlocked on stock rom JB 4.1 I picked up screen standby and mx player what seems to be going on, in both stock player and mx is that the video will randomly stop during playback. I don't understand why but I have to tap off screen to get it to playback or for mx it pauses randomly ao I just hit play again. But anyways have any remedies or insight on this?
