What's the best way to stream video between Android devices? (wirelessly)
A bonus would be if I could choose where the video decoding happened (on the source or destination)...

Do you have a link to the app?
I see something called Media Server but I don't think that's the same thing you're talking about...

So I finally got ext2 SD Micro cards working thanks to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184767
This allowed me to test playback with my largest mkvs. What I found shocked me.
My largest 1080p mkvs play back perfectly on our phone. Smooth as silk.
The only issue is that tracks with DTS give no sound in the default player, so I invested in Dice Player that completely fixed this issue. Dice Player works well with the MHL cable so I am able to play the 1080p mkvs on my TV at 1080p.
This phone really is a dream!
I use my xbmc server to stream 720p mkv's with no problem here. Love it!

How are you doing this? I have xbmc all over my house and would love to stream to my phone.
+2 for Dice Player. Ever other paid player should go out of business or add HW support. FFmpeg software decoding is getting OLD

Find a kernel that support NFS or CIFS, and map your shared directory
i do the same but with plex, it works pretty well
Thanks to the OP. good info here.
I currently use MakeMKV to rip my DVDs and Blu-Rays to my media server, this works great with XBMC.
I have been able to stream these files to the tablet with fairly good success.
However, if I want to take the files with me, I encode them to MP4s using the iPad profile in Handbrake. This seems to work quite well, but some scenes stutter when there is fast movement.
Anyone have a preferred profile for the Tablet to keep as good a quality as possible?
I used h.b too and it work perfctly on my tablet s no problem at all. My pc is at my uncle house if can send me the profile names I can tell u what I used. Or if u wait till tomorrow ill pass it to u.
---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------
Its high profile under regular. And check the large file size nothing more unless u want to add some audio.. working perfctly on apple tv,. Xperia arc , tablet s and samsung gs2.

Uh forgot. I use MX Video player free version.
---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------
Again keep forgetting, with the profile I use ur problem will be solved I faced the same problem too so I kept trying like for aweek till I got it right.
Thanks mate.
I decided to re-encode my whole library of mkv dvd rips to the high profile mp4 setting to save space on my media pc too(hard drive prices are silly at the mo).
They are playing well on my tablet too
I am using the handbrake batch encoder to do a folder at a time.
I will leave my blu-ray rips as mkvs though, I just wont be able to play them on my tablet for the time being.

Plz i just tried BD encoding with HB but it stuck in 10 out of 89 and never move on, do u use other software or it really take time !! thnxxxxx
I really struggled with blu-ray encoding with HB. They always played back badly (stuttering, lip sync issues etc) on my PC. So I stuck to just ripping them as MKV files (MakeMKV) this also keeps the HD audio formats
i used anydvd HD to ripp the HD to make it m4v = mp4 with dolby
thnx
i have a problem with my mp3-player app.
it is not possible for me to show the songs by genre. i also can not add genre information in the built in song editor.
can anyone help me? please!
Did you mean stock mp3 player ? The best way to edit your mp3s is by using windows pc.. But in play store there is an app call Itag.. You can edit whatever info for your mp3s including album art.. But, as i said, the best way to edit your mp3s is by using windows pc. You may get the genre, album art etc corrently, but once you transfer your mp3s to any devices, (aka bluetooth) the mp3 player on that device wont recognize whatever info inside that mp3. So, to get the info stay on your mp3 player, use windows pc.
If you download your mp3 direct form your cell, and you plan to let em stay on your cell, use itag to add info for your mp3
If you transfer your mp3 from your pc to your cell, better edit em before transfer to your cell to avoid your mp3 player wont recognize the info inside your mp3
thank you for your response!
the problem is that i have added all genre information into the id3-tags on windows. when i transfer the songs by mtp to my cell, the tags stay, but the stock mp3 player wont show all of them (he shows only title, artist, cover and year). and so there is no genre view of the songs ...

Did you try to add info using windows media player, winamp or maybe real player.
And did you try itag from play store ?

I just take a look at stock mp3 player.. Didnt mention any about genreoOr do i missing something here. But on stock mp3 player(my music), tab right menu in your cell and tab download music info maybe that would help.

yes, i've tried all of it! and the genre information is written in the with the id-3 tag! but the *** player does not show anything.
Guess the stock mp3 player are design no to show genre seem i cant fine any. 3rd party app should do the job.
i think you are right but the stock one is beautiful! i wanted to keep it.
Yup.. Stock kinda beautiful, but in play store there in a tons of beautiful mp3 player. My 2nd option after stock isuber music, out dated mp3player but still among the best looking player.. Just give it a try
Can the SGS2 play at 1080p? When I'm playing a film with MX player and the custom DTS codec, the TV reports that it is set to 1080i, not p. Is there a way to force it to do 1080p? Would switching to CM from the leaked JB rom make a difference?
You connected it through mhl? The mhl adapter is original samsung? You can try to change to official ics and play movie with stock player.
wikipedia said:
It is one of the first devices to offer a Mobile High-definition Link (MHL),[10] which allows up to 1080p uncompressed video output to an MHL enabled TV or to an MHL to HDMI adapter, while charging the device at the same time.

So 1080p is supported.

It's not official Samsung, but it does seem to be working (meaning there is a picture except it's full HD 1080p). Why would it make a difference? I'll try ICS. Can I dual-boot both stock ICS and stock leaked JB?
You cant dualboot leaked xxlsj with any other rom. I will try to connect my phone with original samsung adapter to 46' fullhd led tv and play some 1080p movies. I have lsj based rom and i check there is 1080p or 1080i.

My tv showed 1080 30p so its 1920x1080 30fps progressive video. In system and in movie it was the same parameters. So if your tv does support 1080p it's problem with your mhl adapter, hdmi cable, or software in your phone. I'm running on disaster rom v6 lsj 4.1.2 based with syiah kernel v6beta4

I doubt it says 30fps, TVs don't usually report the fps. I think it's referring to the hz i.e. 30hz, or half 60hz, which indicates that it is 1080i. I could be wrong, but I think I'm not. Does your TV clearly indicate what the hz setting or the p or i setting is?
*bump*
I never really got to the bottom of this, can anyone tell me what they're getting?
Have any of you guys tried playing a video on YouTube (through Firefox+flash side loaded) at the Original (the one above 1080p) level?
I've tried recently, and the result was that firefox crashed and i had to send an error report, then shortly after the tablet reboots.
If someone knows more please share the info.

Just tried a 1440p video in AOSP Browser. It does play without a crash, however it's very choppy (below 10 FPS).

even if you could play the 4K videos through youtube the N10 cant play them smooth.
4K res videos on the N10 is only around 12fps.
still waiting to be able to OC the GPUs 2D mhz that handles the HW decoding
max res for videos that the N10 can handle at stable 23.9 fps is 1440p(2560x1440)
so what you could do and what i have done with amazing result is to download the "Original" video from youtube at keepvid
save them on your PC and encode and resize them to 2560x1440
search for user "jacobschwarz" on youtube
those videos are amazing in 1440p!

I'm 100% sure it was 1440p. It might have been slow because of the lack of optimisation of the flash player. I think what you are talking about are h/w accelerated 1440p videos played from the device itself; those probably play much better than the ones streamed from YouTube.
