I would like to share/stream my media files (music, photos, videos) on my TF300T with other Tablet like iPad 2 or smartphone.
I tried BubbleUPnP and ArkMC apps without success. Both work with my PC Window 7 but not with my iPad and LG Viper phone.
They can access/play video files on the PC media servers (DivX Media Server and Windows Media Player)
and the PC can access/play my TF300T video files from BubbleUPnP and ArkMC media servers.
But my iPad 2 and my LG phone doesn't even see the TF300 media servers.
I check my router UPnP is Yes and Multicast is Yes.
The iPad and LG phone can see/access the PC media servers like the TF300T.
Could I miss something.
Thank you.
I dont know about streaming but for file sharing I use Wifi File explorer, which you should be able to access of your ipad and Viper:

It allows you to host a website from your tf300t that you can browse on your iPad or LG from any modern web browser.
Try to change a router as it has to work.
Really, ask your friend or someone else to lend you another router and check it.
There can be a problem with multicast and router.

I did check the router both UPnP and Multicast are cheeked.
That's why the PC can access/play all tablet media files and the tablets can access/play all PC media files..
The problem is the tablets cannot see/access each other media files.
The UPnP/DLNA doesn't work between tablets.
Somebody suggest me using Samba and I installed the Samba FileSharing app on my TF300T
and guest what the iPad PlayXtreme app can access and play video files on the TF300T.
The LG ES File Explorer can access the TF300T files too.
From now on the road (travel) with my portable travel router I can extend my 16GB iPad to the TF300T storage (micros SD, the docking SD and USB.
Very happy.:laugh:

Can anyone tell me the best way to view files,video(movies),pics,music over y wifi network. I've tried various apps like upnp along with mobo player and codec add on but it only plays certain files most of my media is not accesable.
I used to use a laptop and watch everything perfectly from my pc downstairs using the windows library share if only was as easy with my xoom. when i try to acces the library the xoom see's the library but only short video content of all my video camera clips nothing is organized as is on my pc. Please help as there doesnt seem to be any info anywhere, Thanks.
Assuming your server is a Windows PC then your best bet is to share the folders your content is kept in then use ES File Explorer to access the network shares. Just opening the files will stream them over wifi for you. I use Dice Player but I'm sure other players work just as well.
(There are also other file explorers out there, I'm just advocating ES because I know it works with streaming).
I can't thank you enough as es explorer is just what i was looking for as it shows my files from my windows pc as a laptop would.
The only problem i have now is that it wont open my movie files when i go to these files i get a message 'login failure this may be caused by : -the account has no permissions, any advice would be great thanks andy.
Fofgot to mention i can play all my music , pics, and smaller vieo clips which is a lot more than before it's just the files with my movies in that i cant access without the above error message.
Yes !!
for me i use this:
- PS3 Media server on my Computer (share all media from your computer to all devices by network wifi/lan)
and i can play simultany on my play3 & Xoom
-Skifta on my Xoom (DLNA client/server) it does both
-DICE Player (play mkv 720p) only who work fine (but it's paying)
but i've used before MOBOPLAYER who work fine too but no sound in mkv
MX Video PLayer it's ok too
I still get the error message when i try to play my movies some are avi and some mkv but i dont even get as far as seeing the video file , i dont get passed opening the movie file itself, surely someone out there knows please help. Also i looked on google and apparently if you turn off the anonymous function and use a user name and password from my pc it will work but where do you find the username and password as i didnt realise i had one on my pc.
As I told someone else, plex media server plus the android app works like a dream if you have all your movies/tv shows in one spot.

This will probably be because of Windows file or share permissions. In ES File Explorer, you can edit the server properties and put in your Windows username and password. It may also require the domain field to be filled in, which if it's just a normal home PC and not connected to a domain, would be your PC's hostname.
P.S... use the thanks button
I use ES Explorer for streaming from my server while on my home network and Plex for streaming when I'm on a different network (i.e. 4G, someone elses WiFi).
Zumocast.
There is a version floating around on the xda forums that is compatible with the xoom.
Nobody here mentioned it and I don't know why.
It allows you to stream and download files from your computer over any network.
It's speed is dependant on your connection.
Best of all. It's free
Stop reading and download it.

im still trying to figure this. I run Nero media home on my server and my ps3 and n900 pick it up fine, anything on my xoom doesn't see it.
PS3 Media Server
I use PS3 Media Server and the free UPnPPlay app on my Xoom (as well as other Android devices), and RockPlayer Lite to watch the video, which works great.
PS3 MS is very configurable so I can use it to serve up videos to the TV, PS3, Xoom or other Androids at home, at varying levels of video quality, all from the one Windows box.
I use Skifta. Its free - just install on both PC and xoom. Simple config and uses your favorite player

zumacast works fine
I would second that suggestion about zumacast. It works fine on the xoom.
I use Es Explorer just add your pc like server, not able to play 1080 but 720 play really smooth

Why not just use File Manager HD it supports SMB
create a shortcut to your smb share
and install bs player or something
Thats how i do it
even though i have upnp servers in the house
Qloud is free and works over wifi and 3g/4g.....amazing program
what app do u guys use? I use vlc direct pro. Tried plex also.
Vlc used to work but for some reason it wont anymore.
Plex is way picky and the results were pixeli.
Any tips? I used to have this stream server on my pc to watch on iphone. It was called streamtome. Very easy to setup and very stable. Great for watching movies even outside your network.
Is there any similar app for android?
PS: necermind. Found an app called Emit. Runs perfect
I am using BS Player on my network and it has been working very well.
Are you running the Emit server on your PC?
I have a Samba share on my home network and have been wondering what's the best way for my Note to stream from that over WiFi... anyone know if any of the video client/server programs like Emit/VLC/Plex etc can stream directly from Samba?
I doubt it as Android doesn't natively support CIFS, but it's worth asking!
My computer is Linux with smb shares but no special app running other than that. Bs player streams the files with no issues.
ES file explorer.
Just share your folder on your PC or NAS and open the file from the Network tab on ES file explorer.

Lol... yes... yes you can... es file explorer works... I personally use qloud media server... love the interface and works flawlessly! Very air video-esque if you ever used an iPhone. Mirage is also very cool too... you can shrink the window down to a corner of the screen and continue doing other things while watching movies wirelessly over 3g or wifi

i am having some trouble with es file explorer. it difficult to connect to my pc. i am going to try Qloud media server. what is the difference from the paid version and the free version??
I use es file explorer and BS player.Both have lan options and work well for streaming and moving files.It is an easy setup with windows 7.
tip..Setting up a separate user account in windows for the Nexus makes things easy.Just set up a user and give it permissions in windows and share your folders with it.Make sure you set up a password or you will not be able to log in from the nexus.It will not allow connecting if you leave the password blank.Took me an hour to learn that.
If you use ES and have no password set in windows you can just go to "LAN" then "New" and hit "Scan" it should pick up your shares, if you actually want to add a share manually and have no password set in windows then just use the user name "Administrator" and leave password empty this always works for me in any app.
As for streaming "DicePlayer" supports smb natively so no need for "ES File Explorer" it also supports DTS audio when used with a custom plugin (libffmpeg.so)
If you want movie info and posters then you can use "MovieBrowser HD for Tablet" as it supports smb, UPnP and local sources.
If you don't mind using UPnP say you already have XBMC at home then "MediaHouse UPnP / DLNA Browser" is great especially as it allows you to easily change fanart and posters.
Movie info looks pretty good in landscape with MediaHouse

BTW there is an Android version of XBMC but I don't think it yet supports hardware decoding.
Hi,
I just got an T-R42 Android miniPC.
I want to use it to share some video files from my PC (over LAN not Wifi).
I want it to be as easiest as possible for my young kids to explore and find the files to play.
I think I have to install XBMC on the miniPC, but I'm not sure what to install on my PC in order to safely share files.
PS
Most of my files are not HD.
If possible, I want one folder to be protected with password as kinds can not play it....
Thanks,
Danny
Dont know
I am sure you will be able to share files by Wifi, lan . but not sure whether you able to make your folder as password protected. If got solution pls share
Use esfile explorer and swipe to the lan page then create new lan connection using your desktops ip and your login info. You may have to set your file share permissions on your desktop to allow sharing. I have my mk808b, note 1, note 2, tab 2 and 3, kindle fire, 2 laptops and a desktop all lan'd together this way.
Useing the desktop as the main media storage device as I have 4t space on it and another 4t external I just watch whatever off of that to keep the space on my other devices for other things.

One option: DLNA
on the PC: Serviio
http://serviio.org/
Edit: If you have windows 7 or higher, you can do this with windows media player.
on your android: Vplayer DLNA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.abitno.vplayer.t.plugs.upnp&hl=en
Edit: The EHomeMedia app that comes with Rockchip devices can be used too.
Works great for lower res media, struggles over 54G wifi for HD content.
Will be much better over a wired connection.
Both of the above will work great. Just to add another suggestion. Try skirts in the app store. Very easy DLNA app. Will work across both android and windows. Kid friendly too.

Sorry about the damn spell check error. Its Skifta. Not skirts...Lol. I do not know who or what is saying this combo is not better. But everyone has their favorites. Skifta works cross platform perfect. Then MX player for android and vlc on windows.....no problems!
I was wondering what free app does this? Both the Shield and the PC are connected to the same network via LAN.
Cheers
I highly suggest just running an FTP server of any sort (many in the market, sideload the apk) then use filezilla on the computer to move them over. Simple enough, though if you have any other questions, feel free to ask about anything.

Not sure but vlc and kody can have a media server built in?
But the computer need to have media sharing ability.

Wow, totally wasn't awake when I read that. Streaming, yeah. kodi does well streaming in my experience, I used an ssh server to do that and it worked pretty well, even on a raspberry pi.

SSH Server? I understand my PC would have to be on but yeah i dunno
If you stream movies from your pc, it will have to be on. You can also use it for file transfer.
..
You can try the Playback Player, which will cast media from computer to the shield's Chromecast endpoint.

I can recommend two options. Setting up an ftp server on your pc and using a video player app to stream contents from the ftp via file manager. Or just use plex like someone suggested above. I don't agree on transferring the actual files over ftp to the shield but instead STREAM the files from the shield.
You can create a shared folder with the video files on your PC and use Kodi on the Shield TV to scan the folder and play the videos on the Shield TV.
es file explorer does this with ease.
