AFAIK there are no real good software options as of now! I was looking for this on almost every winm device I owned but so far didn't find any software third party or pre-loaded OEM that where of any use.
I would however love to be corrected... N95 had good support 2 years ago LOL - if I had any programming skills it would be a good app to develop open a whole new world of possibilities. Like streaming video, and music from my NAS would be ideal.
The closest option you have for that is to MAP a network drive within file explorer on the device - this kind of defeats the object but still allows to play media files.
Orb media steamer
Hi, not sure if this is what your looking for but have you tried Orb to stream your media? I use the Orb client which is part of Kinoma (although I use the paid version so not sure about the free one)

I've used Orb over LAN/WLAN, it does allow copying of Media files, not sure about sharing of non-media files though
Does anyone have an Orb app link? Rather have an actual app than browser based

Not sure if it's what you guys are looking for, but you should take a look at Resco File Explorer. Not the cheapest tool for sure, but mapping network drives works fine. You can open all files the device supports and copy anything from the network drive to your device and vice versa.
try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629247

Saw dlb92 post for a PS3 remote, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823364. I thought someone could know or develop a remote control software to replace the Apple Remote, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC377LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA2OA&mco=MTMzNzcxODY.
Been finding an Android software alternative to remote control, most can just work with iTunes. I need one that could work with Mac iTunes and DVD player. Especially something that could adjust volumes. Best if it could work thru bluetooth like the Apple Remote.
Thanks
apple's remote use IR

I just noticed that ...
They do. But there's software which can replace the apple remote for the iPhone. It works similar to the media centre remotes with a piece of server software on the Mac and then the client on the phone

i actually need a remote for DVD Player, to pause and also lower/increase volume. I've heard of Apple remote programs for iPhone, but i dont want to buy iphone..
Off the top of my head, I'd suggest looking into the possibility of using your choice of ssh client to connect to the mac, then using a combo of shell scripts / applescripts to interact with DVD Player. Works like a champ with iTunes, so I'd be surprised if DVD Player won't play along... I'll try and investigate for ya'.
The only remote I tried that works with dvd is gpad, iirc. I can play the dvd and that's all. I can't adjust volume or pause the dvd..

I have heard abt PLEX but cant make it to work. Can anyone provide step by step instructions to get it to work.
Or some other app which may work better than Plex?
never tried plex, but I use subsonic which has not caused me any issues. The app is free but requires a donation to get the video streaming

Thanks. Any free application?
PS3 Media Server works well for streaming media. Asumming you're sharing the correct format and resolution. It's free and very easy to setup.
Upn in the market along with rockplayer or moboplayer also in the market. Along with HDMI cable works great.

I convert my videos with handbrake for my A500 and then access them via Tonido. There's an android client on the market. Works great, videos buffer for a bout 5 seconds over wifi then start playing.
http://www.tonido.com
My set-up. PS3 Media Server on the PC. UPnPlay and MoboPlayer on the tab. It works for me.
+1 on subsonic.
great thing about subsonic is you don't have to be on the same network to use it. i stream to my tab while i'm at work sharing the net from phone. i have to admit the quality isn't great. but it gets the job done.
for the DLNA setups i'm pretty sure you have to be on the same network.
I've never used plex since i'm a linux user.
has anyone tried orb yet? that might be another one to look into.
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.
