I need some DLNA player to my phone and maybe DLNA server to Windows.
- What I want from a DLNA player to my phone: gets subtitles from server, and play avi/mkv/mp4 files, with subtitles.
- What I want from a DLNA server to Windows: stream avi/mkv/mp4+subs without needing to encode.
If possible, a explanation about CIFS, can it be useful to share my stuff and play on the phone with subtitles?
[To DLNA server I'm using Samsung PC Share Manager 4.2, I won't upgrade to AllShare, it's worse. And I use PC Share Manager with my Samsung TV, and it's working good]
And yes, I've tested a lot of servers and players, and no luck. The closest I got was BubbleUPnP+PC Share Manager, but it was without subtitles.
Thank you.

I am about to purchase a NAS device to act as a home media server.
So far my short list includes:
Synology Disk Station DS210j
QNAP TS-210 Turbo NAS
Some of them support iTunes server and can stream music to an iPhone. Surely there is a way to do this on the Eris! Is there an iTunes client for Android 1.5 or perhaps a better way to do this?
Any help appreciated!
dont know anything about android, but my nas drive packed in and i got a new one from pc world. i thought it was a nas drive but wasnt it was a network media storage, my ameo couldnt pick it up at all because it wasnt a nas drive, pc seen it fine and could map. hope this is of some help. make sure its nas.
Not sure if your NAS device supports Upnp, but if it does like windowns 7 and can share media as Pictures Music and Videos, I found a program on the market that I could access the files on the computer over my network, the music would work but I couldn't get the videos to play. Search for UPNP on the market, I'll post the program later when the gf brings her phone around. There was a similar program on the Ipod touch, although it was able to play the video files, probably missing a codec in android.
The program was Andromote... if you have windows 7 set up sharing all the media on your nas you would be able to access it.
if a mod reads this, can you pull the restriction.. I don't post much but have used the site for quite a while. Thanks.
It's not exactly graceful, but I use MPD (Music Player Daemon), PMix (an Android client for MPD), and A Online Radio to stream my music collection to my Droid Eris (via Icecast). Unfortunately, the native Droid media player doesn't support the usual streaming protocols, but the above combo works. When I'm outside my home network, I use a web based client for MPD and have my Icecast port forwarded on my router. If the NAS device you pick up supports Linux, you should be able to install MPD and Icecast (both are available in most distros); the Market has both PMix and AOR for free.
The protocol iTunes uses for streaming audio is called DAAP, but I'm unaware of any DAAP clients on the Android platform yet. Searching google for "Android DAAP" led me to a site which offers a client application to control iTunes from Android, but not client. Again, if the NAS system runs Linux but doesn't provide a DAAP server, you can possibly install Firefly Media Server (formerly mt-daap) to mimic the fuctionality. However until there's a client, there is little point.
Just wondering if there is anything similar to AirVideo for iOS. For those of you that are unfamiliar, it streams/converts video from your PC to your phone.
Yes please, Ive tried using other alternatives but they simply dont work as well.
Well the included Allshare DLNA application will stream compatible video from a DLNA compliant server over wifi (XBMC, Xbox360, PS3, MediaCenter)....
I use XBMC on my home media server, and it streams fine to the phone. Not familiar with AirVideo, so I cannot compare how "functional" it is relative to what's built in to our phones.
there is some free ubuntu software that works with this too. VLC I think and Tomb media player is what I am using at home. You can stream videos to Tomb and and connect to tomb over the phone through allshare.
Hello pplllzzzi just saw the allshare app on the galaxy player 5.0 us version and then i tried using is somehow but it didnt work. Has anybody tried it and succesfully used it?
The Allshare app uses DLNA. I have not tried it but my understanding is that DLNA is a media sharing protocol that works over UPNP. Basically, you need to have another device on your network that is sharing media files using DLNA. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Playstation 3 uses DLNA right? I think there are DLNA servers for linux but I'm not sure about windows... Probably need to have UPNP enabled on router too...
If I am correct, Windows 7 comes with a DLNA server. The media player in Windows 7 can share music and videos with other DLNA devices.
You can also try something like Twonky, TVersity and many other DLNA server.
Ok thanks both of you
Does anyone knows how to play Divx/Xvid videos trought DLNA default app ?
i have an home server (debian Wheezy) that offers some services.
I have MiniDLNA .24 Daemon on it, that permits my Samsung TV to play videos trought DLNA service.
I had an i9000 by Samsung that could also play videos or music trought DLNA.
Now with Xperia S i have a DLNA app by default (connected devices), with this app i can browse my DLNA resources but once i try to view a resource (jpg, mp3, avi or mkv) i always get an "Unrecognized Format" error...
why ?
is there a better DLNA browsing APP ?
i found BSPlayer, with that i can browse my SMB share on the server and play the media, but it's NOT DLNA... it uses SMB shares, that i would like to switch off sice i didn't have Windows machines at home...
Neither I could play videos and music from my synology NAS, but I could with BubbleUPnP...
It seems the default DLNA app does not recognise any alternative players on the phone.
I installed moboplayer app (for Divx/...) and UPnPlay app. UPnP works similar to the default DLNA app, but when you select a Divx video it allows you to choose where to play it, for example using moboplayer.
You can even push the video to a DLNA player, like WD live TV or DLNA compatible TV.

Thanks, i got mad trying to define a working DLNA profile with serviio instead of MiniDlna for this phone, but it seems like the default player only work with MP2 streams (DVD format) even the x264 didn't work... it's really bad...
i will try UPnPlay, and if it works i will throw away serviio and restore MiniDlna wich is better for my Samsung TV and my sanity
Try 'VPLAYER'.....
I use mediaHouse as "browser" instead, and Vplayer to play the movies...

Hi all,
I have a network drive with my media library attached to the router (belkin 600 play). Also I have Xperia z tablet and dlna enabled Samsung TV. Router is not a dlna media server.
I need a player for android that can
1)see not just servers but all shares of the local network. (bs player can do this the way I would like to)
2) play all formats is "a must"
3) cast playback to TV (as a dlna server)
So as for now there are tons of players with different combinations of these features, but none combine them all. I wonder if bsplayer pro can play to TV, but not ready to pay 7$ to get Answer))))
Thanks
