I have been looking for some apps that can stream outside of my home network. Plex looks pretty good since it categorizes your videos pretty well, gives good descriptions and movie art. I was wondering has anyone tried this on the Nexus 7? If so how was it? Did it work with a variety of formats? Did it work well outside of your home network? Like streaming on another WiFi network or through tethering (Bluetooth or WiFi).

I spent some of the $25 google gave me on some play store stuff including, plex, bubbleUpnp, and already had imediashare. For rendering i've got n7, galaxy nexus and an un55d7050 tv. Media players include vlc, mx player, and weeded out a couple that I didn't have much luck with.
What works best for me, the easiest, and least amount of dicking around is a combination of MX Player and BubbleUpnp. I'm streaming from an NAS on my home lan and everythig else is visible on the lan.
To make this work you'll have to screw around with handbreak (or at least I had to) to figure out what codec works best depending on what your streaming and to which renderer.
Good Luck!
Edit/ Twonky Media Server works really good as well, installed to my NAS......Yup, everything these days is pretty much dlna capable.
Do anyone know any good apps for streaming live cable TV?

Time Warner's is OK
The only streaming cable app I've tried so far is Time Warner Cable's app. Of course, I think it will only work if you're already a cable subscriber. Most channels are available to stream, plus some channels that are streaming only and aren't even available on the cable service. We have a pretty fast wifi here, so the video/sound quality is great on the streams. Biggest drawback is, you can only stream to your device while on your home wifi network...nowhere else. If you're trying to use it at work, you're S.O.L.
Also of note: I had rooted my Nexus, but found that the TWC app won't let you stream on a rooted device (or with USB debugging enabled). I don't know if that's the same with other cable streaming apps, but it's something to keep in mind. I ended up un-rooting my Nexus so I could use the TWC streaming (and Google Wallet, as it also will not work on a rooted or unlocked device). Sorry I can't point you to any better options as this is all I've tried so far.
Yeah, i need one for the road.

Hi guys just a questiom. I wish to use my nexus 7 as a media server for my ps3. I currently use bubbleupnp but whilst playing audio, the song cuts in and out.
Is there some kind of configuration I am missing? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

HA! I wish it was possible but no it can't be done.
Well by using bubbleupnp I can. However like I said when songs play they cut out. It used to work fine before

Would like to show me how you're able to connect the n7 to the ps3? i want to try it out and see if I can fix the issue.
Well I use the app called bubbleupnp on the play store. As soon as you launch the app it acts as a media server. My ps3 and my xperia s and my laptop can connect to the n7. And stream view pics and music

Besides BubbleUPnP I've used UPnPlay, iMediaShare and Air Play to stream movies to the PS3.
Thanks. I'm gonna try that when i get home.

Do you stream sports or movies on your Nexus 7. If you do how? I've tried streaming through Firefox with flash player but get too much ads, the video stops playing and can't set flash to full screen. Any alternatives like sites or apps you guys use to stream?
The site I use is firstrow.

Use the AdBlock Plus addon in Firefox. Works great.

AdAway works even better for rooted devices.

I'm thinking of getting a chromecast dongle for my tv and just wanted to check some info first.
1. I want to wireless send video to my TV
2. I use showbox & mobdro and mxplayer will these work and is it smooth?
3. Will it also wireless play audio from poweramp?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev

I think in general you're barking up the wrong tree. The way chrome cast works is it pulls content directly from the Internet. What you're describing is like Apple Air Play (or some such thing).
Chrome cast is great, but really your device acts like a controller, that's why only certain apps are supported, because the chrome cast has to run them "onboard" so to speak. I use it with Netflix a lot.
Hope that helps.

Never tried poweramp but showbox will stream to it. Just make sure youe media player is allcast or Avia. Never had an issue with either or showbox
