I have Xperia ZR with 5.1.1 LP. I also have BubbleUPnP pro installed but when I try to stream a recorded video (full HD) to Chromecast it plays, then stops, and plays, then stops again...
Same here. But works great with Amazon Fire TV and Kodi. So seems to be kind of performance issue with Chromecast and some HD videos.

If its not a natively supported format by chromecast than bubbleupnp transcodes it locally. So u need powerful device to be able to do that on the wifi and good signal. Especially if u use dlna or streaming from local server.

Hi,
how can i watch Vimeo Movies in HD Quality? Because when i use the standard browser all movies are only played in SD. The firefox browser dont shows the movies when i open the vimeo page in desktop mode. And the mobile version of the page dont offers HD movies. Also the Vimeo App from the market plays all movies in SD Quality.
Thanks for your help.

Just tried Dolphin browser HD and it seems to work if you tap on the empty space where the movie should be. At first it just looked blank.
I tried the Dolphin Browser too. HD Movies are working but unfortunately they lag. Is there another possibility.
Hi!
I am having stuttering issues while playing 1080p mkv files over wi-fi. The video stutters after every 10 seconds for about 2-3 seconds The wi-fi connection speed is 72Mbps which according to my search is the maximum you get with SIII.
The file I am trying to play is 2.3 GB and around 25 mins long using MX player. The video plays fine on my laptop, also connected with 72Mbps speed.
The only reason I am asking is because sole purpose of my soon to be owned nexus 7 tablet is to watch 1080p, so it would be worthless if I am going to face same problem with Nexus 7. So both Nexus 7 and Galaxy S III users are requested to reply.
I figured the general forum is more appropriate for this as compared to QA forums, I request mods to kindly move to the appropriate section if I am being ignorant.......
Thank you very much.
S3 bangs out 720p mkv files no problem which is fine for a phone

You expect to stream mkv files on nexus 7 that does not have builtin codec support for that format, with third party, software decoded app? Without a glitch?
Hmm
Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300

Yeah I did it, but it would eat up space if I keep 1080p for TV and 720p for mobile devices, plus it would need more time ripping 2 times..... Thanks for the reply though.....

Thanks for your reply, but actually third party player (MX player) is better than the stock video player to stream on S III, isn't it......?
Well if it really isn't possible then I might have to rip 720p as well besides 1080p. 1080p wouldn't make quality any better on a 720 screen anyways, or will it......?

No need for any additional player with it.

Maybe that's the problem right there, I'm no kind of expert but maybe the fact that it's a 720p screen and your streaming a 1080p video is causing the stuttering

No I was talking about Nexus 7, Nexus 7 doesn't support mkv files......
Actually I was thinking as it can stream 1080p video to a TV using Allshare cast, it shouldn't be a problem to do vice versa.........?

No it's not the problem, it plays any 1080p videos nicely from its internal or external sd card, or even from OTG USB storage......

Because you tested internal, the connection itself and the resolution, i guess the problem is the combination of streaming and the unsupported format or the format only.
Maybe try to convert the video to a supported format and test again or check another player (or both).
About allshare i can't tell, haven't used it, always used plain dlna from settings and didn't encounter issues, no matter which direction.

The same video file runs smooth when played from phone memory, and stutters when played over wi-fi, so I am pretty sure the format or player aren't the culprits here...... May be there are some settings in MX player which I remained unable to explore, or any other player able to prefetch the frames and keep'em in local buffer, although I am pretty much sure that's what the grayed out bar in MX player represents.......
Thank you all for your time, I guess ripping movies in 720 is the only viable solution here......
Try Qloud media, I use this to stream 1080p HD content from my laptop flawlessly, you have to install the software explained in the app description but it's easy and brilliant once it's setup.

i have the same problem as the OP.
I just tried Qloud app and it works great.
However what software does is realtime conversion. Not streaming the original file.
So there is some small quality loss since it converts original file and stream it to the phone on the fly.
There is still problem with direct streaming of 1080p file unfortunately.

Hi all,
I use ps3mediaserver as upnp/dlna server in my computer. Before the Nexus 10, I had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which browsed and played the video files nicely with Samsung AllShare app.
Now, with the Nexus 10 I have been experimenting with several combinations of upnp clients and video players. The only player that I have found to work smoothly with the streamed files is Dice Player. I have tried other players (MX Player also) with a lot of problems: video doesn't play, no sound, long pauses...
Also, the best client for me is MediaHouse with a simple and clean interface, just browse and select to play.
Thanks
jordicm,
I have also experimented with various players and between Dice and MXPlayer, Dice is the winner for streamed content. I use MXPlayer Pro video playback for SAMBA shares as I like the MXPlayer UI better than Dice's.
Personally I was surprised that a free app like Dice was superior to MXPlayer Pro in this one feature of video playback that MXPlayer obviously supports. I would prefer to use only one video play.
It seems on Android, in the categories of Video players, Web browsers and media aggrigators you need a mixture of apps to get all that one wants (speed, reliability, features, quality of UI).
Mediahouse and Diceplayer. No better combination in my opinion.
Mediahouse and bsplayer here!

Incidently, if anyone needs the module to allow Diceplayer to decode DTS audio you can grab it here:

Winning feature for use with upnp :victory:
Nice, where do you put the file?

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.
Hi All,
I've just bought the following TV box from Amazon and am seeing some strange behaviors from Plex.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01J5NEOCC/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_u-70xb5KTY65V
1) when playing some videos it will pause for a second and then the video will play at a faster rate, while the audio plays normally.
2) a video with directors commentary on it, plays this even though it's not selected.
3) TV Player is installed and summertime if I watch a TV channel first and then use Plex, I sometimes get the audio from the TV show busy into life over the menus in Plex and sometimes over the video.
With the same version of plex on my tablet, Nexus 10, I don't see this behavior. Any ideas if I can fix this our should I just return it?
Paul
