Need something Better than orb..
I'm actually switching over to HD2 from iphone, used to enjoy an app on iphone called air video, which used to list all video files in thumbnailed browsable native application [server + app] and streamed with live conversion on the iphone.
I got orb.. but mycast.orb is painful and its not at par ..
Can anybody please suggest an alternative ..
a small bump, in hope of somebody helping me

since i sold my iphone to buy a desire there has only been one thing that i have missed having. and that is being able to stream video content from my pc over my home wifi network onto my phone. i did this with an app called air video on the iphone. it converted all video while streaming it so i could play my divx videos from pc onto my phone anywhere in range of my wifi network without having to convert them first.
is there anything that lets me do this for android?
Gmote 2.0 will do this for you
Be warned need to have the right player for the file extension.
i.e. cant play .avi files as android doesnt have a good player etc..
I do this using stock apps on my phone, and a simple webserver on the other end.
I've done this with relative ease...
Any modern webserver with directory browsing enabled (IIS7/Apache)
Ability to modify/add content types within the webserver
Local cache of h264 or 3gp media (i.e. streamable)
Browse to movie using any browser on your Desire and stream over WiFi
** Addition **
IIS7 (possible with Apache as well)
ICYBOX IB-NAS4220B (Any SMB/NFS/CIFS NAS Box will work)
Directory browsing enabled
Symbolic Link (Virtual Directory) to NAS box share over LAN
Browse to movie using any browser on your Desire and stream over WiFi
If you need a hand attempting this, chuck me a PM...
p.s. If you're running a windoze box, then you have IIS already.
use TVersity on your computer..and then you can just point your phone to the given IP address..save it as a bookmark in your phones browser... or shortcut

Rockplayer will play AVI
use androstream or vlc stream and convert
Well the best and easiest way i figured out, was making the movie folder accessible to the Network and connect to the folder through the Cifsmanager. As player I use pLayer, which is really the best player for Android.
You could always try VLC-Shares.
It does have a fair amount of setup though.

This might be dead already, but try Vplayer.
As affmalg, CifsPlayer, then browse your network files as if they were on your phone = so simple
Use Opera Unite with Stream Media add-on ... works on Windows and Linux and streams everything as flash ... work really good on my HTC Desire

I liked the look of this and downloaded the PC side of it to realise that all I wanted do was access my photos in a nice graphical interface. Upon setting up this is for movies only...
Unless someone can confirm otherwise, the android app side of it costs approx £2.99
thank you very much. i know im in the wrong place (same goal, gtab 10.1) but gmote worked beautifully. even loaded up the built in subtitles when i played with moboplayer.

That sounds interesting. I'm going to test it soon.
Thanks for the hint..

works like a charm, it's awesome and simple.
Not sure if this has been recommended. I saw a gadget called Wireless Media Stick that can help you with this.

Hello,
Install a samba server on your pc.
On the mobile use cifs and local player like "arcmedia" or my favorite "moboplayer"
Simple and faster. I use it often

I'm using VLC (H.264+MP4)+port forwarding+VPlayer for streaming analoge TV channels. Works fine
Gmote 2.0 and the arcMedia player works very well for me. It's a painless install and set up procedure too.

This might be of interest to some of you. I use DLNA to stream to my phone from my PC and NAS and also to show photos and video from my phone on my TV!

I was hoping to update the guide a bit last weekend but didn't get the chance.
I just wanted to let people know that using VLC on Windows (I can't confirm other platforms) you can stream almost anything VLC can play to your device.
Simply open VLC, goto View, Add Interface, and select Web Interface.
On your device grab VLC stream and Convert from the market.
There are different modes available, for example you can use your device as a VLC remote control - or you can stream to your phone for viewing there.
Make sure you go into settings and make Portrait 480 and Landscape 800. Then goto Stream RTSP, enable MP4A LATM, Set audio to 160, use 5 reference frames, and raise video bitrate to the most your network or connection can handle (If using a VPN you should be able to stream your whole home movie collection over a friends WiFi, out of your phones USB-2-HDMI port, and on to their big screen TV (Albeit at a max 768 bitrate). All over their WiFi. I also kept the framerate at 25, it seemed to play better but that might be source dependent. I set the audio to autosync.
Your settings may very, but mine usually don't get corrupted on a 54g LAN unless that blasted microwave is used...
With my Ultimate Ears and my Vibrant, I literally sat on the couch and watched the first season of "Community" with pretty good results. I got some odd looks when my laughter erupted seemingly out of no where, but it was better than watching HGTV.
The iPhone version of this is called AirServer, if anyone has heard of that.
I hope this helps someone. I actually used the free RDP app in the Market to connect to my PC, start VLC, then browsed through my whole system (all drives seem to be accessible, I am sure there are security concerns to consider).
Once I get my ocular implants and my Bluetooth audio implants I can truly just lay around slack-jawed. One day! I'm not holding my breath...but Ray Kurzweil needs to hurry it up already...
Also
Also, while I was looking I wanted to point out that "Google Listen" was released for podcasts. It integrates into Google Reader and seems pretty sweet.
Wow! I had no idea... will be checking it right now!

Nice find. Although, I don't think it is auto converting the video (or On-the-Fly conversion like some people might call it). Vibrant supports mkv/avi natively. I tried your method using the free version which the author stated does NOT support auto conversion and the videos (one avi, one mkv) worked fine but with distorted audio.
The Pro-Version does support auto conversion but that is located under its own separate menu and not "RTSP Streaming". I have not tried the pro version personally, but perhaps someone can buy the pro version to test out how well it works.
epic win. thank you sir, this will certainly make those long trips to the inlaws more bearable.
Perfect
Something that helped me was to make sure the Server Port in VLC, which was a default of '1234' matched up with VLC Stream and Convert, which was default at 554. Once I changed that to 1234 bam, perfect.
Thanks

Yea i've tried it...but the quality of video is very low...i intend a way to watch youtube videos with all or a part of features that there are in the desktop version.. i dont want believe that there isn't a way to do it or anything like this, on a unbelievable smartphone like this..
Mvu mobile viewer. Search for this application on xda. This program in combination with tcmp or core player will fulfill your needs
i've resolved using mVu player + Core Player( in tool-->preferences-->file associations-->select all...in network "page" set YouTube Format H264( i've put it in this mode) in video "page" at Video Output set DirectDraw...) ^^ thnx riotman!!
hey guys
sorry for asking so many questions, but i was wondering if there is a way to stream audio from my mac to the xperia like on the iphone there is an app called airphones, which is so cool.
I searched on everywhere, found something called subsonic but does not work.
Any idea what a good app is out there to do that
try this one:

There is also plex for android which is very awsome !
It streams music & video over wifi & your mobile internet !
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.plexapp.android
Perhaps this is usefull, says it supports Airplay (iTunes streaming)

when there is root you will be able to just use cifs manager.
I use air bubble to stream directly from latest itunes
why not stream directly from latest itunes. it works like air play same way your airport express works. and sound quality is acceptable, if not better...
just look at bottom right corner of itunes and select airplay or whatever name you gave this. you need to be connected to the same wifi network. works seamlessly.
Please give feedback on this app if you like it and any problems you encounter. just started using it today so can't give much feedback yet

Wow... No one even decided to say that they've used up all the codes (-_-)...
Anyways, I tried your free version on my Nexus 5 and it works pretty well! It does drain the battery a lot more than I thought it would though.
Anything with a 3d environment background is a drain on the phone battery (overheats it too)
I personally use vr players with no background or 3d surroundings. All you need is the video screen.
Hello sir,Expried codes..please share new...
Did you make this with Unity3d?
If so, could you add this https://github.com/m-tukiok/UnityPluginDisplay4k to it, please? Even if you have to make it into a different version of the app.
I'm willing to pay for the pro version and make a donation if you do!
I'd love to have a native 4k VR player for my XZp that doesn't require messing with adb.
VU showing video that is mismatched positionally on right and left eye
hey fam.i am using a tecno camon cx air and i am having an issue in that the video on the right is not exactly the same in positioning/mismatch as the video on the other eye causing some blur and uncomfy viewing experience.what can i do?i am using VU pro latest versionconfused:
check out my twitter @Kay_e_veemusic i will show you a screenshot of my screen, i can't post a link here since i am new..will appreciate your help
It's a shame the codes are expired this deserves five stars for sure! I have a couple of feature requests:
Please add the ability to play network videos! It is essential that I can launch videos to VU Cinema from a file manager (total commander in this case) the same as any other video player. It would also be nice to be able to browse network videos from within the app.
Bluetooth controls need to be refined. Please add the ability to either map the controller or add basic seek and volume controls to the D pad. Sometimes it is easier to tap forward a couple times to relocate my place in a movie than try to navigate the very inaccurate seat bar. The only app I have seen tackle VR controls well (and I've tried them all) is VR Theater by coach games. If you were to merge the graphics from VR Cinema with similar gamepad controls to VR theater it would be the perfect app!!!
Please continue development it's really great! ?
[Just purchased, well worth it]
On one plus 5, After the update 5.0.4 it has stopped working.video screen is blank while pictures can be seen.kindly help on it.
