Does anybody know of a good DLNA server for ubuntu that's fairly easy to use and configure?
I tried mediatomb but could not figure out how to set it up properly to work with the phone.
I then tried PS3mediaserver. It only worked one-way. I was able to see shared media from the PC but could not see the PC on the phone.
I gave up trying and ended up getting Estrongs Explorer and transferred the media files over wifi :-/
FWIW I just use xbmc - had it running already, and it showed right up. 90% of my videos play fine.
That is probably overkill for you but fwiw it works if you want a media center..
Hi guys, my Vega will be arriving this week, since it will be always on the same network as my PC, is there a way to play music or playlists stored on the PC to the Vega (will be running Honeycomb)
I would prefer the playlists to be on the tablet so the wife can set some up rather than her going to my PC to do anything.
cheers
You can try Google Music Beta. It Uploads music to the Google servers, and you can play it anywhere, anytime

I'm in the UK, there's no Google Music here
I'm in the Netherlands Ever heard of proxy servers?
cheers, but can it stream music from my PC?
The easiest method is to use CIFS Manager to create a link to your PC share and just open the files up using any Audio player. PowerAmp is the leader for playing music but personally I found it to be a pain to setup. Give it a go with setting up the share and if you come across any problems post them here and I'll see if I can help out.
Good luck!
I agree with using CIFSmanager, it works very well for streaming video and audio to your Vega. However, when i tried it couldn't get Poweramp, winamp or the default player to browse to the share (even if it was mounted in /sdcard) so in the end I used MortPlayer Music. It's not the most pretty interface but it works well until one of the other players adds support for browsing CIFS.
cheers guys, much appreciated
I know that being a thread necromancer isn't cool or anything but maybe someone really wants to stream audio/video etc from PC like a boss.
Take a look at orb.com

Hello, I connected my Note to the Mac using a USB cable. Then, I used doubleTwrist to copy the music files to the Note. After the transfer, my music files got all messed up. (Perhaps I did not do a good job in organizing the files under iTunes right at the beginning.) I want to do a fresh start. Could you please let me know the following:
1. What is the best way to delete all the music files from my Note?
There are hundreds of them. I do want to keep the good music files
originally installed by Samsung.
2. Is doubleTwrist actually the best app to transfer music files from the Mac to the Note? What other suggestions do you have?
3. In order to avoid messing up the files again, should I just copy the playlist?
I am not familiar with iTunes also. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Putting songs on it should be easy enough. Connect your phone to your PC via USB or an SD reader then transfer your music from your PC to your phone. If you want to download music directly, then just make sure you hit the download link rather than any sort of streaming link. I don't really understand your issue about bluetooth so I can't help you there.
If you want to make the phone easier to use then flash Android on it. Use the guide in my sig to help you.
