watch stream in external player - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am watching sport streams on bet365 on my android phone and tablet. When I start the stream on my phone I get a popup asking for the application to use for watching the stream and I can select mxplayer for example. On my tablet it will automatically start the stream in the browser. Tablet is a sony xperia tab s with android 4.1.1. The quality with mx player is much better so I would like to know if it is possible to configure my tablet to also display the popup or default to mxplayer. Any help highly appreciated

Can your dlna tv see your phone? I dont have a dlna ready tv but, I have a PS3 and with the software "PS3 Media Server" running, I can see my i9300 on my PS3, thus I can access the videos in my phone over the PS3 via dlna. I think the setup is pretty straight forward, except you will be running your bubble app from your phone instead of a pc/laptop.

Automate playing an mp3/wma over http/https every morning

I am able to manually type a URL to an MP3/WMA in MX Player's Network stream field; and, MX Player still start playing the audio stream over http/https.
However, I need to automate this so that every morning, MX player (or any media player) will play the same network stream. I know that Tasker is a very powerful automation tool; however, I have no idea how to automate that.
BTW: I noticed that MX Player will associate video files with itself if they're opened via my web browser (so the video is streamed to MXPlayer instead of download the file). However, if I try to do the same with an audio file in my web browser, the audio file will just download instead of associate/playback with MX Player.
Thanks in advance,

*sigh* I did a search on google looking for a way to playback mp3 over http/https... my post came up on top. I hope I'm not the first person ever to want to do this.

Twitch.tv website shows non-flash stream

Hi,
did anybody notice that twitch.tv offers somehow an opportunity to watch streams without using the rubbish flash player?
This happened to me when browsing to any channel which is currently live streaming with my i9100 mobile. The control elements within the streamed video are looking different (like native android controls) and a real fullscreen mode can be activated - see the attached screenshots..
The best thing: The video is streamed very smoothly and in high quality.
I tried Opera Classic and the default Android browser. Both had the alternative streaming mode.
Now I also wanted to have this feature on my Android TV box (accually no mobile), but it just shows me the regular flash player here. Changing the user agent to "mobile" did not help either.

Streaming PC Desktop to Android device (eg. Android TV media Player)

Hello!
Is it possible (in any way) to stream desktop PC to android device?
I am talking 1080p with solid movie stream capabilities
I am aware of Splashtop but movies are not playing fluently via my wifi
thank you!
partly solved: could be done via Miracast, if THIS would be possible.

Best Chromecast app for android

Hey guys, i'm looking for best android apps to stream videos to chromecast. The problem is that most of them only support mp4 files. I found only one that supports all file formats, it transcodes the file on the fly on your phone and streams directly to chromecast. its called Megacast. Does anyone know anything similar?
Try using Plex... It's a paid app, but free from time to time in Amazon App Store
Megacast - Chromecast Video
This isn't strictly a Chromecast app, but rather than Android one that you'll need to download on your phone. Regardless of how you get it on your TV, through, Megacast is an excellent Chromecast player that has real-time transcoding support, allowing you to play files from your phone or tablet that aren't supported natively on your individual Chromecast device. This includes AVI, MKV, 3GP files and more. It can also automatically pre-load subtitles or let you add your own, making it one of the most flexible video streaming apps around
The Google Chromecast lets you display video, photos, pictures and other media content from supported apps on your big-screen TV, using your Android or iOS device as a remote control. You can also send content straight from a Chrome Web browser on your computer. There are hundreds of apps that take advantage of this unique technology, which Google calls "casting," to offer a new way to link.
Try BubbleUPnP
BubbleUPnP, many video + audio options, local transcoding, supports configurable subtitles and transcodes only when necessary.
Plex always transcodes when using subtlitles, always thanscodes if audio is Dolby/DTS to Stereo, and does not support AC3 passthrough as BubbleUPnP does.
Plex is a hog.
+1 for BubbleUPnP, amazing Android app. With a good media server running on the pc (like Serviio) you can stream everything to your Chromecast (transcoding is done by the pc).
Not a huge fan of BubbleUPnP, when I download something off ttorrent, its a roll of the dice of it will work with it. I'd have to say my go to is local cast. Worst is allcast
Allcast isnt bad. I mainly use it to stream Showbox
Plex by far.

Emby all the way. Its,s free, its for, its better than plex
BubbleUPnP also works with DLNA and transcoding on the fly. With a powerfull device is amaizing. Slow devices work with hickups. Waiting for a while for Mxplayer to chromecast but still no go.
