I have a good router. The wifi speed on my Nexus 7 is 100mbps. I have no trouble streaming 1080P mkv's from my pc's with my Note 2 Samsung phone, but the Nexus 7 is too choppy to watch regardless of what video player I've tried. 720P works fine. Any suggestions?

Do a speed test . Try changing the frequency band on the nexus ir router and see which is fastest for your combo

Can anyone recommend a way of stream Google play movies over a WiFi home network to a WiFi/internet ready tv that doesn't have dnla, but can stream files over home network?
Thanks
Basically I'd like to rent off Google play, and watch on the big hd screen with the family, from my N7.

So whenever I watch a streaming video whether it is using Google play, Netflix, or YouTube app the internet just seems to go in an out. I have downloaded WiFi analyzer and speed test.net apps. Both are showing I have should have no issues streaming videos. Its really frustrating. Is this a known issue or should I get an RMA??

This problem is likely to be either your router or your ISP. Have you tried testing streaming on a different network?
I don't have access to a different network. The kindle fire I sold to get the nexus 7 had no issues streaming video. Hence why I am concerned with my nexus 7.
U also have access to an iPad that has no issues either.

The problem is the router for sure,use the WiFi analyzer app to find the strongest channel then set your router to that channel,see if this helps and if not send me a message and we will try something else.I had the exact problems so I will take you through each of my steps I did until fixed.

Actually a reset of my router seemed to fix it. Thank god for kittens exploring.

Can someone point me or explain to me how to transfer movies from PC to tablet? What programs do I need?

The N7 mounts as a USB using Windows. Click and drag.

On a windows computer all you have to do is drag them over and drop them in the sd/movies directory on your tablet using windows explorer.
You can also just copy them over over the lan if you are using a file explorer on your table and can access your network.
I used es file explorer's built in FTP server. Turn it on and connect from your computer then copy wirelessly.

If you download a lot, then most formats won't work.
Download vplayer or another media player that will run them once on the device.
Or get an OTG cable to hook flash drives into it and download media import and use it that way.

Handbrake is also a good conversation program and it can it runs on win and mac
A good player is the mx player, it can even play more formats then the stock player and it has subtitle support
VLC player beta just got an update that fixes the random crashes on N7 devices. Been using this ever since

I would purchase a OTG cable, and use any memory stick or external hard-drive you may have.
Put your movies here, and play them from that.
If your rooted use - StickyMount
If not then use - NexusMediaImporter.
Could someone confirm the below,
Stickmount = read n write to USB drive (root)
nexus media importer = read only (non root)
Is that correct?

no idea about media importer but stickmount lets you read and write

That's correct. Latest version of importer supports ntfs which is good if you have a large mkv movie rip.
MX Player seems to work the best for me.

Thanks for clarifying, have you tried VLC player? The new update fixes the random crashes on N7 devices, been using it and its worked so great so far.

VLC lags a lot if you try to play 1080p video. MX player with hw+ decoder doesn't.

Didn't know that, never tried a 1080p movie but thanks for the advice.

The USB has to be in FAT32 in order for me to write to it right?

I confirm, MX Player with hw+ plays everything perfectly.

MX player with HW+ has played everything I have, smoothly. But I find the standard gallery app more power efficient, so I use that when I can
i'm debating whether to buy nexus 7 2 or the note 8.
one of the criteria is it must be able to run xbmc.
i know nexus7 2 runs xbmc.
does note 8 runs xbmc?
It runs XBMC great. Plex as well.

I`m watching movies , shows , tv station using this app on my galaxy note 8.0 3g .
hi, Note 3 outputs a 1080p resolution which is a little too much for my TV (the framerate drops). is there any way I can change some setting or something to make the phone send 1080i signal instead of 1080p?

1080p is the native resolution of the Note 3, anything less going to be a compromise. If your TV can handle regular 1080p from another source, then it should handle the output from the Note 3 just fine. Check you haven't got power saving enabled on the phone.

actually I would prefer that 'compromise' at any hour! smoothness over a little bit higher resolution anytime! I mean c'mon!!! my mom's note 1 runs smoother than that!

I just checked on another TV using the same MHL 2 cable and it's interesting.... on that TV it displays automatically at 720p 60 Hz and it runs very smooth. I wish I could have this setting on my TV too even though smaller resolution. because on mine it runs at 1080p 24Hz and you can see the framerate
