Do any vnc server apps work on this thing? I tried the Driod Server but it isn't working for me.
Yes vnc works on the atrix
it just has an issue with aspect ratio when playing back streaming video from your pc.
I use Splashtop Remote Desktop from Splashtop Inc. (formerly know as DeviceVM, Inc) for $4.99 USD, it's a great app, much faster compare to VNC, and the usage and interface is more intuitive. Host side application can run on mac and pc, cost no money to run unlike RealVNC server.

Searched around a bit and tried countless peices of webcam software but haven't found anything quite like what I would like yet.
I have a microsoft webcam hooked to my pc. I would like to run some webcam software on my pc that makes a streaming video file that I can open from my 8525 streaming video player.
If I could stream this video file from my PC to my linux webserver and then connect to my linux webserver from a webpage or from my 8525 to stream the video that would be even better.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I use this... Trackercam. I'm able to use any browser and view the webcam at home... haven't tested it on a ppc browser but theoretically it should work as long as you have a decent connection.

Oh, and it's FREE.
There's a program called dorgem (http://dorgem.sf.net I think) that runs a webcam (so it might not be exactly what you wanted, but it might be less hassel). It doesn't exactly do streaming video, but it can upload an image via ftp or HTTP POST and refresh every few seconds if required. It can also run a local HTTP Daemon which allows you to access the image on request (using PHP or similar).
Also free, but doesn't include the base control stuff that TrackerCam's software does (although you could consider that a good thing).
look for WebCamPlus .. www.ateksoft.com
Orb does the job, leave it running on your PC and with Version 2.0 you can view webcams hooked up to the PC.

Is there a program for WM5 or 6 that is similar to Media Streamer for Nokia 770?
http://net9.blogspot.com/2006/09/media-steamer-for-nokia-770.html
It is a UpnP AV control point for UPnP clients such as Roku, DSM-320, etc. and can act as a UPnP client itself for streaming media.
I know there is Rudeo which has similar functions, but it has an ugly interface and it is not free.
The 770 I believe runs a version of Linux, so how hard would it be to convert to something like that to WM6?
The thing I had missed the most about my iPhone was AirVideo. But, now I have SubSonic for streaming my media content from my computer, and It works like a charm.
I am a developer, and I develop mostly in linux and with AirVideo I used to have to run my AirVideo server in a windows VM like VirtualBox. Not anymore, SubSonic server will work from linux, windows, and mac. So now, I don't even need to run the extra VM software on my linux media center.
AWESOME!!!!!
checking this out asap, i as well was missing my iphone for airvideo alone. hopefully conversion is just as slick with 3g/wifi balance and decent seeking.

how is it with streaming over 3G?
Streaming is flawless. I of course have the atrix 4g, which i hear is not real 4g, but the streaming quality is flawless. So far i have only tried this with my cellular data connection... but if it streams this well over that i can only imagine how smooth is is over wifi. It plays as though it is playing from a file directly from my phone. And it really rocks at streaming audio as well...

how is it with streaming over 3G?
What are the best ways to stream video from my linux server to an N7, over the internet?
What are the best websites that stream free video to an N7?
Thanks!

Bump I'd like to know this too.

I set up MiniDLNA on my Linux Mint box and I'm using BubbleUPnP w/ Dice+plugin on my N7. MiniDLNA is lightweight, doesn't offer any fancy interface stuff and doesn't do transcoding, which is exactly what I wanted. Setup was a snap, and it actually took longer to figure out what ports to allow through the firewall than to get MiniDLNA installed and configured. There is just one config file to modify to tell it where to get at your media and what media types you want to show from that location, and that's pretty much it.
I have it list my movies and TV shows that I have stored (avi, mp4, mkv, etc.) and the N7 plays everything perfectly, even the HD stuff that my SGSII won't do cleanly (unless it's actually on the phone). I haven't tried any 1080 HD video though, just 720p high profile, and that much is working fine for me. This is all for my LAN of course, I probably would have gone with a different solution if I wanted access over the internet (automatic transcoding would really be needed there).
Don't have an answer to your second question though, I'm currently looking for the same info.

Thanks. I clarified my first post to say I'm looking for something that streams my home media over the internet.
Besides the transcoding issue, IIRC, DLNA doesn't serve the WAN without VPN or ssh tunnels, right?
Plex is very good and in terms of the clients is very flexible (I have it running on my old Samsung blu ray player too!)

Right. If over-the-internet is what you need then I agree with everyone else, just go with Plex.
Streaming movies from the web.. Look up Amo Navi-X in the play store.
Have a look at polkast, got it on my NAS and works great.

I just sent mail to get the beta linux server.
ownCloud is a competitor in this space. Have you compared them?

No not looked at anything else as Polkast is built into my NAS, and I dont think I can change it
I haven't bought the plex android app yet, but I tried plex with my linux server and a macbook client. For me, it's a big PITA to rename & reorganize my video files and hope that plex matches them correctly. And it's all for a fancy UI that I just want to get past and watch the vids. I may do it eventually though -- some of the streaming plugins look cool. It'd be really cool if I could get that tivo plugin working.
Something I found that works for me today is Air Video. Air Video is designed to serve iOS clients and doesn't advertise a Linux server. But there are server jar files available here and someone rolled an Ubuntu PPA here. And the "Mirage" android client works with it. I've tested with iOS clients and the N7 and it works well for both.
Air Video serving home video to an N7 on the internet.
Pros:
Simple server, Ubuntu PPA.
Serves iOS clients too.
Don't have to rename/reorganize your vids.
Password protected access.
Cons:
Vids only.
Mirage client takes IP address not host name.
For the N7, Air Video may be unnecessarily transcoding to an iOS friendly format.
Basic folder navigation UI.
Give tversity a shot, has a web interface and does transcode if you need it

I also use TVersity, streaming from a Windows PC. We usually watch videos on an Xbox 360 and TVersity seems to work best for that, but it also does a bang-up job with the Nexus 7. I use MediaHouse to discover it and MX Player to play the videos.
The only hitch is that DTS audio does not stream. TVersity transcodes, but I have not looked to see about changing the audio to something else.
I am hoping to build a media server to replace my simple setup. Now I have an external hardbdrive connected to my Samsung smart TV which plays my movies. Now I want a media player connected to my Tv with the hard drive that I can access remotely and can update over the net (add movies to it)
Can the pi2 do this?

I had an entire media server running with a Raspberry Pi 1 model B, that also ran a few python scripts. I'm sure the Pi 2 has more than enough horsepower for your needs.

really, thats impressive. Did you follow a guide to do that? Could the pi do any transcoding?
Yes and no...........
I used a lot of tutorials, and parts of tutorials, and just playing around.
It was the results of my playing around in linux. The solution actually consisted of more than just the server end. I had the Pi sharing a 3TB hdd via NFS, and at the time I had another Pi connected to my TV running Kodi media center. (I've since moved to an old Quad core which works much better, for obvious reasons.)
The Original Model B wasn't powerful enough to do any transcoding and I don't have any experience with the Pi 2 yet, but I had a lot going on in that lil box and it served me fairly well. I had 2 python scripts running to collect and sort media, an SQL db to sync multiple instances of Kodi, a newsbin client, torrent client, and web server running off the same Pi.
I only encountered a few issues and could never get WAN streaming working, but I suspect that may have been something with my router configs.
I simply sat down and thought up what I wanted my server to do, and started hitting the web to find ways to do it, one feature at a time.
