Hi I wonder if its possible to stream music from my nas via smb and vpn? Also have a ftp server on it. I know some software that can do this on pc so it should not be impossible

I think you cannot STREAM using FTP, FTP is for File Transfer. There is already an App for that. download ES File Explorer
or give this a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158
Most NAS devices use Linux, and so try to find out more details about it.
In fact, the QNAP ones even come with Twonkyserver, and if yours runs linux, it might be possible to run it on yours too.

Does anyone know of a decent DLNA app for the Fuze?
What is the point of ussing a DLNA app in a device who is able to access and play directly your net files?
You can use Resco Explorer to access all the Shared Folders of your net and exposed it for the rest of the programs in the PDA as regular files
Or you have a DLNA only server that don't allow samba access?
Anyway... I have never read anything about dlna clients for PPC
Are you interested in a client or server?
My PC and Nexus connected to same network over wifi. I tried to do subject over estrongs file explorer but there is no result I can't play any video file unless I coppied it to the phone. I what to watch video streamming from the PC, without needs copping. I guess there must be special app for this task. But wich one is it?

I haven't been able to stream from my pc, but I can use ES to copy a file to my sdcard and play it via rock player. I'm pretty sure there are served based apps like OrbLive that allows you to stream from your desktop, but they require you to install a service on your pc. My pc is cluttered enough as it is, so personally I'm against that route.
Curious as to any other options you uncover.

i believe gmote allows some video streaming though i'm unsure of which file types.
Gmote won't do divx avi. Otherwise it's a perfectly workable solution for mp4 and any format that android natively supports.

Perfectly will be to watch avi using estrongs file explorer over samba via yxplayer. But any of files can't be open direct from the PC in estrongs file explorer at least. They must be first coppied to the phone. How can I open files direct from PC like if I do that from PC to PC?

Maybe there is a player which can play video over UPnP for example?

If you're rooted - look in Development forum, there's a post about how to mount the Samba server path as one of the system directories using binaries. This would allow you to do exactly what you want to do.
You might also try using RockPlayer Beta as the media player.

Hey guys,
I wanted to know if there is a app that will let me stream movie files from my network nas to my gtablet. I have alot of standard avi's and mkv files and wanted to watch over my network at home. Looking for something like xbmc. When I try with es explorer it starts to dl the file. Any info would be great. Thanks
I've been experimenting with Pogoplug beta and Opera Unite, with relative success, both products need a lot of work.

There are several on the Market that are based on you having Videolan (VLC) on your server, for example VLC direct, VLC S&C Free and VLC RS9 fee based). There is also QLoud Video which has it's own host component installe on your server. I haven't been completely successful with any of them yet but I am still experimenting.
Hey Pearlyking,
Im looking for something that i dont need installed on my server. Im not really using a computer to host the files. Im using a synology NAS to host the files. I have a bunch of media players around the house that just stream the media from the nas and trying to get the same effect on the gtablet. The Nas has its on firmware and im just using it as a samba. Hope that makes sense.

you can use a cifs mount and a few regular player will work since the network folder
will appear as local in /mnt/cifs/some smb share
qqplayer, aplayer, rockplayer, vital player
Can you povide me some info on how to do cifs mount?

I use yxplayer. My server is HFS. Very simple. Instead of clicking the link, I copy the link to "add a stream." Works with avis, jittery with HD.

You'll have to DL CifsManager or some such app - and it needs root, so you'll need to be able to grant it root.
Then you run the app and mount the drive.
I have done this for my music; it loses a little bit (the music player won't grab the info on the files, etc) but it plays...

You will also need root, but also custom kernel from either pershoot or clemsyn which has all those available module in the kernel.
I don't know about MKV format but if you just want to stream video files from your computer then Gmote works very well, it says it won't work with AVI files but I've never had a problem with them.
Just have to download it to your computer and have it running when you use it on the tablet.
Thanks for the info guys. Will try it out when i get a chance.
I use upnplay to stream video files off my wifi router with a harddrive plugged into it. I accesses the files very easily and then once selected file opens with rockplayer and plays just fine. Best solution I have found.

I would say if you are new to a cifs module to go with clemsyn kernel cause cifs and all needed modules are pre built in. Pershoots kernel you will have to follow instructions on website on intalling cifs and utf8 modules and then chmod them. I personally like pershoots cause seems much snappier to me. But you decide.

I can't get playon to stream to my gtab? What player are you using on your gtab? I can browse all the channels on the playon server, but my tablet won't play them. I am on Caulkulin w/Clemsysn kernal.
What is the easiest way to stream HD MKV to my tab maybe one that doesn't need all sorts of apps installed I have xbmc and vlc already installed on my desktop rig

VLC Direct is what I use. As long as you setup the web interface and have both devices connected to the same network, you'll be able to do the automatic setup and either use your tab as a remote for your computer, or (if you long press) stream the file straight to your tab.
The cool thing about VLC is that you can set this stuff up over 3g as well. As long as you open the port that VLC uses for its web interface and have your ip address (which you can get from www.ipchicken.com) you can remote/stream through 3g. However, unless you have some crazy upload speeds from your ISP, it won't really work too well for streaming.
By upload do you mean 3G out my actual internet

If your tab is rooted: I use cifs manager to mount a share I have setup on the PC and play the files through Diceplayer. Works really well.
I haven't tried it with MKVs, but ES File Explorer can stream a video file over samba to a video player of your choice without the need for cifs manager even.
Personally, I like Upnplay + Moboplayer. Sure, you need a DLNA/UPnP server on your PC, but there are lots of free ones.

does ES file manager let you pick which video player? I've been trying different combos of file managers SMB/cifs clients and video players (as well as editing build.prop) to get a working solution EVERY time, I've got it to work once, but as soon as i did a fresh stock > rooted stock flash the same process doesn't work anymore. Oh well, more tinkering I suppose..

Yeah, it's a recent addition to ES, past month or so maybe. I use it with Rockplayer.

Yeah. If you have a high enough upload speed at home (meaning, higher than like, 7-12 mbps, most American households have around 1-3 mbps >.>), you'll be able to stream no problem through 3g (but it will use data on your tab). Meaning, you can watch it from anywhere.
Or, you could just stream to your tab via your wireless LAN in your house.

If available you can install Plex Server ( not the client!) On your Mac and the client on your tablet. Should work that way.

Serviio or XBMC on the computer, BubbleUPNP + MXPlayer on the tablet/phone. XBMC has builds for Mac, but it might be a bit overkill if you just want streaming, Serviio is written in Java, but you need to name your files more carefully for Serviio to find the correct names on tmdb/tvdb databases (FileBot is a great help for this).

For me BS Player has the best performance and it can stream for network shares directly, just share the folder on your mac and bs player should see them on your LAN. Don't forget to install the codec pack too.
i have bs player installed and shared a folder on mac, but its not showing on bs player
do i need to add ip address or anything, how do i do that?
yeh

Maybe you need to use the same username and password that you use on your macbook, I don't have access to an Apple computer to test unfortunatly, mabe there is something special you need to do for samba shares to work like in Windows.
