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.
Hey,
im searching for an app thats "beams" my media files to the PS3.
I tried Twonky Server, Imediashare and some others and they all work, so i can see all the files from my device on the PS3. But the Problem is, i have to take the PS3 Controller to open/play the files. Is there an App that let me control the "open-process" via my DHD or Flyer?
I can choose the player in Twonky Server, but i cant see my ps3 :S Am i doing something wrong?

When in bed at night I use my SGS2 as a DLNA server by hooking it up to my TV via the MHL cable and then streaming video from my PC (which is in another room). It's a bit of a pain though to constantly get up out of bed to change the program. My wife also has a SGS2 and I was wondering if there was any way that her device could be used as a remote for my device? Is this possible? Any help appreciated.
This is possible. I hope the following explanation is sufficient.
Get PlugPlayer from the Android Market. Install it on at least the SGS2 connected to the TV.
PlugPlayer is a complete DLNA solution - it does all three functions: Media server, Media renderer, and Media controller. Skifta and Samsung's AllShare don't implement all functions IIRC.
Here's the breakdown of what this all means:
Media server is the source of your content.
Media renderer is the device with a display/speaker where the media is played.
Media controller controls what media is played from the Media server to the Media renderer.
One device can do all three at the same time.
Here's our setup:
SGS2 connected to TV acting as media renderer - let's call it DMR.
SGS2 in your hand acting as remote/controller - let's call it DMC.
Media source, wherever it is; it may be DMR, DMC, or another DLNA server - let's call this DMS.
Open PlugPlayer on DMR and leave it running. On DMC, in AllShare, Skifta or PlugPlayer, select the DMS that is hosting the media file you want to play, then select the DMR where you want to output the media file. Then, all that's left to do is to select the media file you want to play.
I do this all the time at home. I use a Buffalo NAS as the DMS, a Logitech Revue running PlugPlayer as the DMR, and my SGS2 as the DMC.
I hope you don't get lost in the sea of acronyms.

Even if I don't need it, and I don't have a mhl, neither a second s2, I understood everything, and it was really well explained. You deserve a thanks.

Hey,
I am about to buy the Tablet S and have searched google for a while but haven't found any real world experiences with using the DLNA to XBOX.
Has anybody done this and what were the results?
Does the Tablet just come up as a media server on the XBOX?
Thanks!

In my experience the DLNA on the tab is client (incoming) not (server) outgoing. i.e music sever set up on laptop I can play song on tab, or from xbox i can stream from laptop.
BUT NOT from Tablet Itself. So unless theres a media server (or similar) app then not possible with standard software???

There are a number of DLNA server applications available on the Google Play Store which can be used to turn the Sony into a DLNA Media Server. I don't have an Xbox to test, but it should then appear.
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
