I got TF201 connected by wifi, pc with windows 7 and a nas linksys N200 both connected by ethernet to the router.
I set windows media player 11 as server and flagged "allow remote control to my device and automatic allow device to steam..." but on the MYNet overhead left corner appears only
the Trasformer Prime and it doesn't appear any DLNA server.
I already bought NAS to see clips, but always the same problem.
The only way is to search files with ES File Management and to open them with MoboPlayer.... that's really uncomfortable !
Nothing to do also with Apps as Skifta or Mediahouse... no server available.
The strange thing is that WMP recognise the NAS !!!
How can i solve my problem?
Thanks,

The built in media apps are supposed to be able to connect to SMB shares, but I've yet to be able to connect to my WDTV Live using any of them. I haven't tried setting up any Windows shares to see if the combination fares any better.
I can, however, connect using ES File Explorer and ASTRO. ES File Explorer is actually able to find the SMB share on its own (smb://192.160.0.12). With ASTRO I need to specify the address. In any case, both apps can connect, I can copy, paste, and otherwise interact with the WDTV.
Unfortunately, whenever I run one of the stock media apps, it never finds any SMB shares.
I tried cifsManager, but based on the error messages, neither 2.1 or 2.2.1 on the A101 comes with its own cifs.ko. Perhaps one could be built for the A101, but that's beyond my level of knowledge right now.
The WDTV Live is running stock WD firmware. I've been thinking about loading brad's firmware, but I don't know if that will make any difference with this issue.
Any thoughts on what needs to be done to get this all up and running so I can stream right from my WDTV, rather than copying from it and then playing the video?
only works with dnsnames (as far as i know).
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, from Windows machines I am able to connect to the WDTV at '\\wdtvlive'.
I'm running DD-WRT on an Asus WL-520GU. Is there anything I can do with that to resolve the issue with the A101? Maybe setting up something with DNSmasq?
heard the same from some other users using a IOMEGA HDD NAS.
I have no problems using SMB with a Buffalo & Linksys NAS but I'm interesting in the solution of this issue.
So it seemed to be working with the latest firmware update, except that it's unbelievably slow at listing the share contents.
Now, after a reboot, it's either listing contents even slower, or it's not working past log in to the WDTV.
Hey guys i was wondering what is the best app out there that will allow me to stream my movies and tv shows from my nas to my tab while im away from home. I know how to do port forwarding just cant find a app that will stream the media
Plex works really well! It converts on the fly if you have a PC next to your nas. Quality on your LAN is great! Quality on the WAN is so so but it works!
Thanks for the reply i have plex installed but it doesnt work outside of my home network on my tab. It works fine on my phone but not on my tab ( my tab is tethered to my phone to access the internet when im not home)
TVersity allows you to stream outside of your network. Quality is much better than on Orb or some of the others.
what app do you use for tversity i checked the market and nothing came up

I don't use an app. usually. I do it straight from the browser. You can enter an http address and pull up files or a flash file.
Alternatives are Vplayer, the Toshiba Media Player app available on XDA (works the best actually) and um..... one other one I forget. You just install TVersity on your PC and let it scan wherever your media is installed. Whether it be on your puter or an external.
I use J.River Media Center, the app is called "Gizmo" (just search in the market).
I'm able to control all my music in different rooms, workplace etc over the pad. Or stream it to the pad itself.

I use Plex over 3G on my Wi-Fi Tab tethered to my phone. I'm tethering via Wi-Fi, not USB. I have to store the remote IP address for the server Plex is running on in order for the app on the Tab to find it.
yeah i have my remote ip address saved and im teathered via wireless as well and i dont get a connection. My phone has the same remote ip address as well and it connects just fine. Ive also tried connecting to my vpn teathered and that doesnt work either, but my phone can connect without any problems
I have a QNAP 212 NAS and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Tried Tversity/uPnP and the rest but all I got was jerky playback over wifi.
Solution was long winded but now I can stream anything stutter free
1. Map NAS drives to PC (Windows 7 cannot index NAS so use this workaround)
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...to-index/d6a6cb41-1d66-476c-ab1e-70329dd55cc5
2. Install Qloud
3. Stream at 2048mbps
4. Funmouth
thanks for the reply works like a charm
no worries
Hi Everyone,
I am googling for some time now but can not find easy solution to my problem.
I got some videos on my S3 (it is mainly about the ones (for the future) freshly recorded.
I would love to be able to stream them to my Windows 8 PC (Windows Media Player preferably) in order to show them to bigger public.
Example:
My Son was skiing first time today. I took some clips. later on at home every one wanted to see them. I had my Asus TF810c with 11" screen with me so it was obvious that it will be more comfortable for all to watch on bigger screen.
Both devices were on the same WiFi network (created by mobile router), I was trying to "play" with WiFi direct - nothing worked
Is there an easy way to do it?

Not an option.
On a slow broadband (in my case in weekend house we got 0,5 mbps gsm one) it would take ages to upload and ages to download.
I wanted to use local WiFI to do it.
Now I suppose the issue was with limited abilities of mobile router we were using. Just got home and on my landline broadband and stand alone router it worked like charm. S3 is visible as media server and in built in player there is option (once media are shared) to "scan for nearby devices" and pc is visible (in WMP is running). So playback can be started both from S3 (if WMP has "Allow for remote control" option on) and from WMP it self as S3 is visible as network library.
So again - it must be WiFi router fault I could not do it before.
SORTED! Close please!

You need to have options for Streamig Media enabled in your Windows Media Player. I think they are not on by default.
Once that is done, you should be able to see PC on your Android device as a device you can share your media to.
I no longer have S3 (to annoying device for me) as I got myself Lumia 920, so I can not provide you with mode retaild info.
But on Lumia it works in a very similar way.
Hi the easiest way I'd suggest is to use Airdroid.....its a simple app which lets you see everything on your phone through a web browser....provided you are connected via the same wifi network...

Hi all
I bought recently one of those cheap Mini Android PC (the MK808B) and I am trying to setup an easy/cheap NAS with it so I can see my videos from other devices. This would let me turn off my big energy-sucker desktop PC and leave that light small device doing its job. By the way... I am using the MK808B, but the idea is that any rooted Android device would do it.
Until now the progress is big and I can say it almost works... but that "almost" is why I am here, asking for help.
This is what I have done until now:
In the MK808B I have installed:
- Paragon NTFS&HFS+ (so I can mount any NTFS device, in my case a 32GB FTFS flash drive but this would support any big hard drive) (needs root)
- Droid NAS (a free app that does in theory what NAS do, in theory only accessible from Macs and Android devices although that would still be OK since I want to access to those videos from our phones and tablet)
So, once all this is setup and running, I go to any of my Android devices and try to access. To do so, I installed:
- ES File Explorer (to access my MK808B via my WiFi connection)
- MX Player (to play the videos)
And here is the problem: I manage to access my MK808B, I can get into the mounted flash drive... but when I try to play any of the videos, whatever the format, MX Player gives me this error:
"Video problem"
"Can't play this video"
If I click on an image it opens it, if I try to copy files I can... is just playing videos that doesn't work. Could be accessing them through my WiFi connection the problem? Maybe the MK808B is not reliable enough, WiFi speaking? Should I get one of those USB-LAN thingy?
If you could help me I would appreciate it. And also, I think getting a setup like this working would be very useful for a lot of people, who could access their files from any device while at home
Thanks!
I use BubbleUpNp from the play store across all of my devices.
HTC One X, Google Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and an MK809 plugged in the back of the TV. I do have a OTG-Lan plugged into a hub, with 1TB hard drive all plugged into the MK809. I have Finless 1.7 Rom on the TV Stick.
Seems to work well, allowing me to say use my tab to render a movie from my MK809 library (1TB Hard Drive).
Other recommendations for you are Droidmote. Droidmote server on your TV Stick and Droidmote client on your phone, acts as a remote.
XBMC android installed on your TV stick.

Was thinking about the same thing. How to create a cheap NAS with an android device as the core of the system. But i was thinking about a RAID1 NAS. ANy suggestions?
Hi there,
I have been using my Sony xperia tablet Z for a few weeks now, but i can't connect to my NAS.
I've been trying to stream music from my NAS to my tablet, either via SMB (Samba) or UPnP.
When i open the walkman app on my tablet it shows my NAS and i am able to connect to the drive.
But after that it just shows a nearly infinite list repeating the 3 folders on my NAS (music, movies & images)
When i try to open the folder Music it tries connecting for a few min. After that it just says there is no content in that folder (which there is).
I have tried connecting to the NAS using other apps like Antek file explorer (with SMB addition) and several UPnP players, most can't find my NAS and those who can can't connect to it.
I have the following NAS: Freecom network drive XS 1.5 TB.
My NAS is set up with 3 accounts, 1 public (no username or password), 1 for me and 1 for my gf (both with custom username and password)
My Sony xperia tablet Z is the 16GB wifi only version, latest firmware.
Any suggestions on where to look for the problem? And even better, how to fix the problem.
Thanks!
I found a temporary work-around.
I can connect XMBA(a media player) to the NAS. From there i can stream my media to my tablet.
Let's hope i can find out how to get rid of this workaround.
Well, for some scenarios (like, for instance, using GoneMad Music Player or PowerAmp with a NAS) it's anyway better to have support for mounting CIFS or NFS file systems so that all apps can access the NAS, thinking it is part of the local file system.
On other devices there exist kernels with CIFS and/or NFS support "baked in" (my old Acer A700 even has NFS in the stock ROM), or at least some dev has compiled CIFS or NFS modules for the devices which can be used via insmod at bootup or via apps like Mount Manager.
Unfortunately at the time there are no such possibilities on the Tablet Z - although I would be very happy if we would get them Devs, are you listening? (Is it perhaps possible to use/port cifs. ko from some other Xperia device?)

I recently found out that XBMC has a android version now (still in beta), but the app connects to my NAS flawlessly.linkylink
I have no clue as to why XBMC works flawlessly while other apps like walkman, antekfileexplorer and UPnPplayer wont work.
I use Esfile explorer

I tried to use Anttek FM its beautiful but SMB really slow(sometimes nothing). EsFM is simpler and fast. Go to Network - LAN - Scan and there is it. Plus I made shortcut to tab Z homescreen so I can connect faster.
