I recently switched to CM7.1 and would like to have an app that does DLNA media streaming similar to what the stock rom had. Anyone have any suggestions? Any feedback would be most appreciated.

twonky
it works great, i use it all the time
I tried twonky, I like imediashare a bit more, seems to have a decent about of options

I love imediaShare. I have zero complaints. Twonky didn't work as well with my hardware.
Skifta is AMAZING. Very user friendly.

whats the difference between the paid and free imediashare app? can anyone tell me i cant find it
I've also been looking for a good alternative to the stock DLNA since it doesn't work with ps3. Then again, nothing much works on the ps3 since the network is down. anyway, I tried imediashare, but it didn't seem to work either. Is the ps3 DLNA technology just to outdated for the Thunderbolt?

I confirm imediashare works very nice with ps3. I love its feature where you can
1. stream youtube and many many sites directly
2. I like the way you can search for videos on your mobile and see them on ps3
3. I love its inbuit channels,very useful
4. Reliable and always works, no jerks no crashes.
5. plays HD content
6. Youtube quality is extremely good compared to the ps3 browser youtube.
7. Suppprts UPNP features of my ddwrt router.
It does not play my mobile(3gp) videos because none of these software can transcode, and ps3 can't play 3gp directly.

I just set this up last night and have to say I was really impressed! I now have a complete media control device. If you have XBMC setup on your HTPC or Xbox, you just enable UPnP in XBMC settings, side load Eyecon on the Gtab (if you can't find it in Market), register or login as Guest and fire it up. It will automatically detect your media devices as long as they are able to share media. No need to enter IP addresses and ports, etc. Setup was easy.
The interface is great as it shows you 4 different panes for Search, Results, Play, and Plug (playlists). No need to use the XBMC remote to fight through menus to find your content. Don't get me wrong, I still like the official XBMC remote and will continue to use it for fine tuning, but Eyecon makes playing media easier and more high tech. Check it out.

Understood. If you get around to trying it, let us know your thoughts.

I couldn't get it to work on PS3. Issues getting UPnP to come up as enabled on the PS3. Anyone else try it?
I'm new to forums ... but have you tried Skifta. It is not optimized for the Xoom yet. Only works in portrait mode for me. Let me know if you can get files to play from other sources to the Xoom (espically video)

I can get pictures and music to play on Xoom for the PC but not video

We just updated the version in the Android market to v0.73. Amongst many other things, this should fix up landscape mode and make it a bit more sensible to use on the Xoom.
Give it a go and let us know what you think!

Twonky works. I have a media server and I am able to access video from several devices including the Xoom using Twonky. The thing with video is what type it is. I find avi has less issues. MP4 can be tricky.
I use it with PlayOn and Vortexbox as my backends and the new version with tablet support is exactly what I have been waiting for! Nice job!
I have been using it since I got my Xoom to stream from my xbmc box. It has worked pretty well for me. My only suggestion is to make sure and exit out of the app when you are done or it will murder your battery.

Does anyone know of a DLNA app that works on the Vivid?
The one that came with my old Atrix worked pretty slick. I was getting used to pushing out songs, pics and video to the TVs connected to XBox.
Isn't there one built in? I haven't used or tested it, but when watching a video in the default app it appeared as if the option was there.
Looks like iMedia Share is a winner. I tried BubbleUpnP and it just didn't have the features or GUI that iMediaShare has.
The stock music and video players do it.

The pre-installed HTC "Connected Media" app works great for me.

I've been mainly using the built in DLNA. That third party app is mainly for redirecting web streams.
Now I just have to figure out how to change the Host name for XBoxes set as Media Center extenders.

i know this is an old topic but i cant seem to ge tmy tv to see myphone as a dlna device its a sharp aquos. i have wifi enabled on my phone and the tv but it says no dlna server is available. i was using the connected media app to no luck then i installed twonky share. with twonky the tv sees a dlna server but i still cant view anything on the tv
I thought would start this post since I didn't see one where people could some of there favorite video apps that don't come stock on the N7. Her is my list:
1. Netflix - pretty good app and greatest availability of streaming movies you will find from a monthly service.
2. Xfinity Player: Nice updates to the UI for 7 inch tablets and really good for catching up on old episodes of Spartacus.
3. Crunchyroll: The premiere app for watching animes that are subbed and best of all they have a free option that works over Wi-Fi. Doesn't work over Bluetooth tethering, but ICS built in Wi-Fi tethering is just fine if you don't mind the ads.
4. HomeDia: A nice free app that allows you to stream videos on your home network. I paired mine up with plex media server since you have to pay for tversity and it has worked well. If it doesn't play a video just use a third video player app like rockplayer.
5. Dailymotion: To be honest the only reason I use this app is to catch up with subbed anime episodes of OnePiece, outside of that nothing really else for me.
The good thing about these apps are they are free to download and numbers 1, 2, and 5 have apps for the Xbox 360. Well those are mine, so what are yours?

Crackle has some good free movies and tv shows. I also like to browse vimeo using the app, there are lots of cool videos on there.
If you like to watch current TV DROID TV Primetime actually works very well on the N7. There are quite a few free shows but for @$9 for three months you can get shows like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Greys Anatomy, and dozens of others. I have used it for over a year on my DROID X and it sizes up really well to the 7inch for factor.

Are you doing this on a N7?
I had problems with it on my N7 in that I couldn't get it to lower/hide the info when the video was playing. Unless I am missing something .... On my phone it worked just fine.
UPDATE
Now if this isn't stupid on my part..... if you touch the video when it is playing, a icon shows on the bottom left to make it Full Screen... thought I had tried everything...

Thanks I didnt know that Crackle would work with the N7 unless I installed flash. So far it looks pretty good, I just dont like how the UI doesn't work that well in portrait mode. Hey that's what updates are for.

Yeah I will defiantly try this out since I will have a little of the google play credit left.

When I checked out veetle in the play store for some reason it said it was not compatible with the N7. Still looks pretty good though.

This is by far the best combination of apps for streaming any media directly off any android chrome site, and I've tried every combo I can think of. I still have no true way of rendering unsupported formats to stream off of native apps without getting a PC involved...any ideas???

What does adding VLC in the food chain buy you? Have you tried going directly to Web Video Caster?
Have you tried the Chrome Beta and going to chrome://flags and casting directly?
No phone-only solution exists for transcoding unsupported to supported codecs.
Very true. I didn't like the chrome beta too much but web casters pretty cool. I guess I just have high hopes for possibilities to where vlc on android with streaming could lead to.
