I am looking for an app that lets you stream media through xbox 360.
Have tried Imediashare, Twonky, and Media Server. Xbox cannot see the phone as a media server.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is the Rezound just not capable of sharing media. I know FoxFi
won't work with HTC phones. Maybe none of the media sharing apps work either.
Would love to find a thread or video with how to stream to the xbox.
Found several showing how to connect to PS3 but not xbox.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Well start fresh
Wipe twonky app data
Start app
Select what u want to stream
Music movies photos
Then wait for it to scan directories
Then go to Xbox go to whatever type of media that u r streaming
It should show up where your computer would show
If u don't understand this
I can try and make a tutorial video later

Ok. Got Twonky to work. I guess wiping the data and restarting was the key.
Works great!
But now I am having another issue. It will only play mp4, and divx videos. Won't play
videos that I recorded on the phone. Nor will it play avi files.

I am not sure that I do have the right codecs installed. And I don't know how to install them.

install on your computer, but none on xbox.

The xbox only plays mp4, divx in avi, WMV, and I think mpeg.
Unless the app on the phone transcodes which I don't think they do becuse of the power it takes, you need to use the formats the xbox supports.
Ok. Got it!
So just to be clear....There is no codec pack or anything that needs to be installed?
I just have to make sure that all the videos that I want to stream are mp4, wmv, or divx.
Thanks everyone for all the help. Great community here.

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.

+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.

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.

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.

[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 ?

As someone else mentioned a third party player like MX Player or Mobo removes the need for converting. Having said that, I use VLC to convert larger videos to MP4 format so they take up less space. It has way more options than I need but is still pretty simple to use.

Well, i just tried to play avi file using MX Player,, but could not play it.. infact MX Player did not even recognise it..
So, what i am doing wrong..
You need to download the arm7 codec pack from the market as well for mxplayer
Save hours - use mxplayer
Save hours on conversion times and use mxplayer.
If u have playback problems try using the software decoder option, which u set in the preferences or my tapping top right during playback.
Hoping someone can help me out with some info. I use PS3 Media Server to transcode files from my computer to my PS3. While playing around in the Gallery on my Rezound, I realized I could see my PS3 Media Server and all the movie/TV files that were on it. Problem is, I can't get any of them to play. It seems as it's streaming the incompatible .mkv file straight to my phone and not transcoding it. Anyone know what I can do to get this to work? Thanks!
same here.. it's because the ps3 codecs blow and can't handle avi files. try playing a 720p video you recorded on the phone... for some reason it'll work.. now try a 1080p... it won't work lol so it has to do with the fact ps3 can't handle certain codecs

I'm not sure it has to do with codecs or avi files. The PS3 Media Server will transcode ANYTHING to my PS3, including mkv, avi, mpeg, etc. It just seems as though it's not transcoding to my Rezound. It's streaming the files, and the Rezound can't play them natively. I need to trick PS3 Media Server into treating the Rezound like the PS3 and transcode everything before it is sent over.

man, you must have a magical PS3 then, because my PS3 does not play certain AVI, MKV, MP4 files whatsoever, and says "file type unsupported" lol..just google it, you'll see thousands of threads
By no means am I an expert, but ps3 media server on my Windows xp computer will steam about anything I throw at it. Now if you download additional codecs from some of the ps3 hacking forums, you can stream live tv from your computer. The ps3 can have problems, but when you transcode from ps3 media server, I rarely have a problem. Will see if I can get it working at home in a little bit. Peace.

I'm determined to get this working! I now see that PS3 Media Server is recognizing my phone as a Sony BluRay player, hence the reason it isn't transcoding to the phone. I now have to figure out how to make a conf file that properly recognizes my phone and transcodes to it instead of streaming.

"PS3 Media Server" is software that runs on the PC.
It uses the PC codecs to decode any media file then re-encode the media to a format compatible with the playback device, this is done on the fly.
ahhhhhhhhh lol my bad, i'm a tard.
perhaps i should get said media server. the way i've been doing it was just having my PS3 connect to my phone via DLNA; doing this, it won't play my phone vids unless they're 720..the others won't play
I don't use the PS3 media Server so forgive me if this is obvious, but does the "PS3" Media Server transcode to any and every device or just PS3's. My experience with Tversity (few years back) was that the user need to specify within the application, what to transcode for each device.

hey had this problem a while back, after a lot of experimenting with different apps, it turns out none of the apps could successfully "beam" a mkv file, even if both the phone and xbox can support the file.
The workaround that i finally got to was to host a media server from the phone, and access the mkv file via the server. APP: Pixel-DMS.
Works great on my xbox !! should work on the ps3 as well

Im looking for something that works the opposite actually, Does anyone know of an app that will allow streaming from a pc to my galaxys3?
I used to use allshare when i was running official samsung rom, but now i use Paranoid android and unfortunately cannot use it anymore.
I use a program called ps3 media server, which allows any content even MKV files to be streamed, ps3 media server is veiwable on ps3, xbox 360 and i could see it and use it on allshare.
now all i need is an app to allow me to pick up this media server on my paranoid setup.
any suggestions? thanks. :fingers-crossed:
I use PS3MediaServer in conjunction with Serviio to steam to my Xbox and phone.
1. Download PS3MS and Serviio on PC
2. Stream to gaming console. For streaming to android, download Skifta or ServiGo on Play. You can manage your Serviio console from your droid using ServiiDroid.

PS3 is not able to play MKV natively without transcoding. You must use a transcoding server like PS3 Media Server, Serviio, etc.
Odp: Upnp/dlna Android app capable of streaming mkv
Yes i know, i am using media serwer on my laptop and i stream mkv files, however when i stream movies, my laptop is over heating and shut down (is hot as hell) after an hour or so. Laptop is dual core 1.6 and the thermal paste on cpu is probably out. So i wanted to stream those movies via note 2. I thought there was an application with internal transcoding possibility like it's in media share on pc. So is it possible or not?

Did anyone have a fix for this? The Note 2 ought to be able to do this.

Also the feature that I use the most is YouTube integration. You can use your phone as a controller and watch videos on a big screen:good:
