Hi,
1) After weeks of looking for an app that is similar to AirVideo (Ipad), I came across Emit. However, I am able to hear sound but not picture. I've tried with avi,mp4 and mkv. All with same result. Has anyone have the same experience and know how to fix? My DS 7 still has OS 2.2.2 but rooted.
2) Does anyone know any similar app that allow to stream video from PC, but not playing on PC as the same time lik Emit or AirVieo(Ipad).
Thanks

If we are talking the free version of orb, then yea it works fine. Looks like crap but works.

Orb works fine for me. Quality of the video blows, but it does work with windows 7 Media Center.
I'm looking for an application that can read music and use playlists located on my computer in Windows Media Reader, using Wi-Fi. My files are all MP3 and WMA.
Can anybody help me ?
Skytunes works via wifi, or 3G
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Thanks for the info. Skytunes looks interesting and uses Adobe Air and seems to be able to stream music using WiFi. Unfortunately it does not handle WMA files and a good chunk of my 60+GB of music is WMA...
Here's something interesting...
I just navigated from my phone to a folder on my PC (using EStrongs Explorer), and clicked a WMA file, to see if I could stream it. The file played after about 2 seconds, but the screen was blank so I've no idea what was playing it...?
I'll keep digging...

For rooted phones with custom ROMs (or just custom kernels with CIFS support), and for users that know a bit UNIX and aren't afraid to use Terminal:
Search Development forum for "CIFS mount".
I've been playing with Twonky to serve media from my PC to my Revue. There's also a Twonky app for Android, and so I can now stream from PC to my Nexus...
Works great, kinda expense for PC client (I'm still using demo), and no idea of supported formats, but maybe worth a look?

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.
I used mobo and then mx player. I tried BS player and for me it works a lot better. My pics and music are in picasa and Google music.

Install subsonic on your desktop, then the subsonic client on your Xoom. Best streaming solution I've found.

This is the correct answer. I highly recommend it.
I use zumocast. Works great for me. For local files, Rockplayer lite plays everything I throw at it. There is also a pre-Alpha release of VLC for Android out that I use sometimes.
DLNA Client in Movies App not playing most Videos, "unsupported file format"
Hi,
I didn't find a lot on this by just searching, but I'm sure I'm not the only one having this "problem". I'm talking about the stock movies app and its DLNA Client.
I'm running serviio as media server and with almost every video I try to open from the movies app, I get the error message "unsupported file format" (except some mp4 videos) . When stored locally on the device, all of them play without problems using VLC. And even without it, shouldn't my DLNA server transcode the video? I mean my PS3 can't play *.flv natively either, but it can stream the videos from serviio. I've tried using PS3 media server, too, still no luck.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is there some way to configure a media server in a way that the stock DLNA Client can stream all those formats? I know about the other DLNA clients for android, I was just wondering if it's somehow possible with the stock app.
Thanks in advance.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Especially with Sony's mnv movies. Very anoying because it's in conjuction with a recent sony tv...

I guess not enough people care about this or they use other clients. I just hope the Upnp improvements in the new update fix this
