Dlna/UnPn Media Players

Is there a dlna/upnp media player that can stream 1080p mkv/720p mkv files without installing a server on the laptop/pc?

Try Skifta from the market. Works on both my NCs.
Just tested Skifta in the NT and works great for video and photos... I don't stream any music so can't say there...
Anybody able to get it to find mkv files?

I just copied a .mkv over to the server and it found it fine. And played fine with MX Player.

That's how dlna works...there has to be a server and a client.
The only application I have found that works correctly is BubbleUPNP but you also have to install MX video player and the matroska codec because android does not natively support mkv

bubbleupnp and mobo player; I configured mobo player to soft decode. You can get the codex from here.

I installed all of the arm v7 codex's. With this setup, I can stream most of my mkv files from my xbmc and windows media server. Keep in mind that the mkv file format is really just a container and can contain different types of media formats.

how do you install the codec?
I am only able to play 2 mins or so of my files with Skifta before it loses video and audio and I have to back out of the video its so annoying as I only have a 2gig Mirco SDcard that I share with my wii so I dont have that full space for videos. I use Moboplayer on the NT and I try using Skifta but as I said it only plays 2 mins before it stops playing.
Edit: Ok after swtiching to mx player it seems to be running much better now I have been watching one of my movies for over an hour now and there havent been any issues.

The first time you try to open an MKV container, it will lead you to the market. The version you want is ARM7.

Hey try something Like ArkMC.It works Great with my both NC's.Also let us to stream photos.Here is the Playstore link
ArkMC streaming media
I use ArkMC too. Moreover, I am not sure how it was in 2013 but now the app has integration with Youtube and it works perfectly. Try the Lite version but be sure the app is worth its price.

[Q] Play RMVB files?

i was wondering if the nook tablet can play rmvb files through video players like mx video player? the android market description doesn't say specifically it supports it...

I know rockplayer plays rmvb files.
It would seem moboplayer can handle them as well as least what i saw from looking through the options on the player.

[Q] Best way to play .avi / video files?

So, I'm trying out various Android market apps on my rooted NT, trying to find a way to play .avi files. These videos easily on my Android phone: drag, drop, and play. But since the NT doesn't naively support .avi (and other common video extension) files, what can I do? Do I have to install codecs or something? Thanks.
Download MX player is the best out there, in the nook tablet works perfectly you can install the codecs for Arm7 only if it tells you to. It support many video formats including AVI by default.

Yeah, I tried that app, along with some of its codecs. No luck. If I take the time to convert files in Handbrake to .mp4, it'll work, but my old laptop takes forever.
Whenever (an it's not often) i get a file that doesn't work in MX Player.. then Mobo player usually does the job... with no extra codecs to install

Yeah, I also tried Mobo, didn't work.
I wonder what's wrong? It can't be the video files, as they play just fine on my Samsung GSII.
Yeah i think you are defiantly doing something wrong..
In MX player and Mobo Player make sure you're using the SW decode for playing the movies..
Apart from that maybe you need to provide a little more info so we can help you troubleshoot. The NT definitely plays AVI and it does it quite well so maybe there's just something a little screwed up in your system..

it worked for me

playing xvid and other formats on nas

got a nas drive ,on which have got movies xvid and avi and other formats which the tablet s wont play ,can some one tell me what media player to use to play these files

how to get the codecs to make those formats play
thanks
I use MediaHouse to browse my network for DLNA sources: NAS & WMC 7. It is much better than Sony stock DLNA player--which is a featureless afterthought/sick joke. MediaHouse then calls up MX Player, and it's codecs handle the same video sources that Sony DLNA refuses to play....

This is about right. Third-party DLNA viewers such as MediaHouse support on-the-fly transcoding and best-attempt playback.
The Sony DLNA doesn't do this is for the same reason that the Sony Video Player won't play locally stored WMV's for example, because they cannot be played back by hardware rendering. The Sony DLNA app only supports the same video files as the stock Sony Video Players, those with hardware support.
Third-party apps bypass this restriction and try their best to play it, even if its not supported, so give that a shot.

The problem was that we needed a media app capable of playing photos and music, which MX cannot do..

You can try a video player app like dice player or convert your videos xvid, avi to your tablet s friendly format with Brorsoft Video Converter.
To avoid the incompatible issues, you can convert your kinds of videos to a widely supported format like MPEG-4 first before storing on your NAS for streaming. I've successfully convert a bunch of VOB to NAS before streaming and sharing.

This is a totally pointless post on a thread thats nearly to years old my friend
yes you are trying to help a fellow xda peep
But you should read the whole thread its only two pages long but as you would have seen the player your suggesting as been already offered and rebuked By the op as for the conversion option its a lot of work and time to convert what I can only assume is about a 1 Tb if not more on a nas hence the need to have a nas
Please read all of the tread you are commenting on first
His best option would be ez file explorer to veiw the folders on the nas then selecting the appropriate app with the file being veiwed
As for video players vlc or mx player support a good number of formats
hit thanks if I helped

Apps for Video Playback?

Hey guys, which video player do you use with your TF300T?
I am still on stock ROM 4.1
Thanks
I like MX player.

+1 For MX Player.

Definitely MXPlayer Free. The pro version only deletes the Ads, so it is not needed.
O like MX Player better. It also works great when you stream video from LAN. Also, you can use ffmpeg codecs, found here on XDA, so you can decode DTS, that currently is not officially supported by any decent player, 'cos some lame copyright legal bullfeces.

I haven't tested DTS but I do have to straight Bluray to M4V rips that work perfectly with it. It reminds me a lot of Windows Media Center or XBMC.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mpeg2plugin <- $5 plugin (sadly I bought this before I realized that there's a free codec plugin pack)

Gave Archos a try. Played my downloaded movies and TV Shows after installing the proper codecs. It's a damn good media center, but it make more sense if you have a large hard drive attached or if you have a Android Media Center attached to your TV. The SMB/Shared Folder feature is really cool to access and index videos stored on a NAS or remote PC. Overall it's a good player, but I would recommend MX Player, it's free, codecs are free and you can play pretty much everything with it.
Archos have a subtitle downloader tool, but for Brazilian Portuguese, it doesn't make any sense, since the App doesn't distinct Portugal Portuguese from Brazilian Portuguese, at least it didn't when I tried.

If you happen to have or acquire the keyboard dock, you could have a total of 128GB additional space (64GB MicroSDXC + 64GB SDXC). That's plenty of space for me to store a good mobile video library w/o breaking a sweat. If you happen to have more, portable HDD/SSD solutions are getting cheaper. I hope that Archos does improve upon their title searching & brings in a better subtitle downloader.
MX player all the way, plus Adaway makes it MX Player Pro.

Yeah, but MX Player can also access portable USB-HDD, so that make more sense on the tablet, to be honest. Archos Player have indexing problems on the TF300, for instance, every time I close the lid, or put it to rest, videos stored on the external media (SD, microSD and USB-HDD) are lost from the library and then added again, but when that happen, that's pretty much every time, bookmarked times are lost and resume time states are also lost, so it's not really that practical, with MX nothing like that happens.
So, again, it's beautiful, have a very useful network (LAN) content indexing tool to add remote stuff to your library, but it's not that practical, on the TF300T at least. But if you have a Media Center Android that doesn't unmount external media every time it's put to rest (idle), go for it, it'll be perfect actually.
Just a heads up, XBMC is already available for Android, not every hardware handles it yet, but once it spread it's wings, oh boy, we'll be in for a treat
And if you don't know XBMC, drop dead! (or read more about it at xbmc.org

Actually glad this thread is up.
Having some problems with my video playback.
I'm rooted and unlocked on stock rom JB 4.1 I picked up screen standby and mx player what seems to be going on, in both stock player and mx is that the video will randomly stop during playback. I don't understand why but I have to tap off screen to get it to playback or for mx it pauses randomly ao I just hit play again. But anyways have any remedies or insight on this?
