I found a ZappoTV app' who stream to AirPlay, but it's not working, it does not find my AirPlay device (french Freebox Player).

Hey all,
Im using Twonky on mT4G to access my Buffalo Network Media server via WiFi in my home, and it is able to see all of my content.
However, it is not playing my movies.
If I use GMote to access my files (which streams via PC to phone) then I am able to view my movie files when using vPlayer as the video player.
My question is, can I use vPlayer instead of the Twonky media player to watch my movies from the Screen Share browser? If not, is there some other app (maybe a file browser?) that will let me browse and play the files on my Media Server, without needing to have my PC on?
Thanks!
Hello everyone, first post
So i've just gotten my Folio 100 and i have installed Foliomod 1.4 - love it
I've also installed Astro file manager - and thorugh this i've made a SMB connection to a NAS i have in my house.
I can see the files on the NAS, MP3, TS files and so forth, but i can't play any of them.
Even with the MP3 files it says something like: "can't play the media" or it can't recognize the filetype. Seems weired as it is just a MP3 file
Anyone know what to do
Thanks

I am sorry for a schematic and bad explain because of my very basic English.
With Astro SMB you can copy media files from NAS to folio and then play it locally.
Lock if your NAS is DLNA capable or install DLNA server for streaming yours multimedia, the toshiba player is DLNA capable and others players also.
Install CIFSManager and then mount yours shared folders, you can play mp3 or watch video but there are some limitation ex flac or ape don't play very well. I am in foliomod 1.3 that have a kernel with Cifs module enable, for 1.4 I don't know.
I listen to some website hosted streaming content - that I can't download the file and convert - but Stream via Real Player and / or Windows Media Player
Will the Honeycomb tablets support this format - or is it a no go?
If not supported - can I use it as a remote desktop device and somehow stream it from my PC - to the Transformer tablet?
Thanks
The Norwegian national Brodcaster uses Windows Media Player on theyr websites for archived TV shows, is there noe way, settings apps or something that fixes so that I can view these?
All I get is a "leggo block" with a question mark on the sides.
I have a bunch of movies on an external hard drive connected to my home PC.
I want to be able to play the movies on my A500 whilst connected to the TV elsewhere in the house (over wifi)
I've played with clearfi with no luck. Is there an app that will allow me to do this easily with just a few clicks ?

I use PS3 Media Server on my PC and Bubble UPNP on my A500. Works great.
Thanks. I'll give them a try later. Will it play .avi files ?
I'm running off Thor's ROM, but I've had no issues streaming avi files via upnp.
The easiest method is BSPlayer, it actually lets you view movies from a shared folder rather than UPnP. You might have some lag with large files, but it does the job better than trying to get UPnP functionality to work 100% of the time.
There are a lot of options for streaming from PC. The easiest I've used so far is ES file explorer and MX video player. Just go to LAN in ES and stream via smb. MX streams/plays all the formats I have thrown at it.
If you have a custom rom with a kernel supporting cifs, you could try cifs manager. It create a shared folder on a specified location. It works great for music too. I can even scan my network shared music library with the stock music player (or other) by creating a shared folder on the sd-card.

For movies, I also recommend MovieBrowser HD, a nice front end that scan your movie library and fetch covers and descriptions, opens with your fav movie player.

Same here, es file explorer and mx or dice works great.
I'd second Diceplayer in a heartbeat if I could actually buy the full version. The trial played everything I threw at it including 720p avi and mkv files.
I just used File Manager HD to browse to folder and BS player to stream, very easy.
I tried a VLC app and it worked pretty well. Just make sure its not the remote app.

I was going to buy the full version but its saying the account is locked or something?
I'm going to spend this weekend trying all the suggestions - thanks
I ran into the same issue. I ended up giving BS Player a shot and it handled 720p mkv and avi files like a dream. Granted, it was playing them off an external HDD, but it's definitely worth a download.
Yes I think that FM HD is the best for LAN connection over wi-fi and xm player. But mx player cannot read subtitles from network drive.
Serviio for the pc (dlna server java software) and skifta on your A500.
