I have ripped most of my DVDs to files on a data drive on my home computer. Does anyone know if there is an app or cloud based solution, or another way of being able to access and play them on my Thrill when I am not at home?

Go to getjar.com and get the get jar app. Open it and go to the apps section. Look through the gold apps or search for SECuRET Livestream, get jar has it for free usually costs. You will download that, probably have to download and setup a program on your PC once done you should be able to stream audio and video from your PC.
For audio you can also use Google music which allows you to sync your music collection with Google then anywhere you are you can stream your music collection and even make certain songs available offline.

Do you have utorrent? Install it on your computer and point it towards the directory your movies are in. You then need to set up a utorrent account. And finally get the utorrent remote app from the market. You can now remotely stream video/music from your computer to your phone. This is how I do it. The one catch is that you have to keep utorrent running on your computer so your phone can communicate with it. This isn't bad, just a fyi. And I'm sure that's required of any program that streams from your computer.
And its all free.

Has anyone heard of a program that can stream videos stored on the computer to an android device with wifi?For example back in the days when i had a psp there was this awesome thing called pimpstreamer which encoded video on the pc side and sent it over wifi to the psp. Anything like this for android?
www.qik.com
Try that one...
Dunno how it works for Comp to Phone but from Phone to Computer, it rocks. Even does live feed if you want it too.
I have used a few to stream my computer to my phone but they are Mac Apps, like Toast has a streamer built in and I just point my phone browser at the ip and port of my Mac.

Qik is for live video blogging, and upload from your phone; it doesn't play video from outside the app recordings.
I haven't found anything like this yet, but would be interested. Orb for Mac just came out so that would be interesting. Unfortunately without looking I am sure there isn't Orb for Android yet.
You can give Gmote a try tho. Im not entirely sure if its from Android to PC or PC to android.

orb.com + orb application from market
I am too looking for some thing similar, non of these program mentioned works like Pimp streamer, it was so simple and right to the point. these programs needs internet connection to work. and i just want to steam things on my local wifi thats all. Is there any app out there which can do this?
Edit: I use es file explorer to access local network and play any thing I want, its great.
Have you tried VLC Stream or VLC Direct?
Does anyone know of any apps that you can remote into the gtab from another pc? like for instance with logmein you can remote from you gtab or from a computer to another computer and control the screen remotely. Wondering if anyone has found any app that can do that but from Computer TO gtab. Like control the gtab screens with your computer.
or even if someone knows of anything that can be used as a remote to control the songs playing or the volume on the gtab from say your phone or computer.
I know there is a program called webkey that i've used to control my droid from my pc not sure if that would work ill give it a try tonight on the gtab.
There's also Paw Server, if you can get that from Market.
If you just want to control music, there's a Gmote app. It's not a full on RDP type thing, but gives you controls for playing media that's on the Android device.
Jim
P.S. I would think that Webkey, that you mentioned, would also work.

Ill have to look into Paw Server, i know of gmote i use that all the time to control the music on my computer via my droid. I try my best not to store music directly on my gtab since the memory isnt too too big trying to save some room and there and not clog it up, but it would be awesome if i could control the songs playing say on pandora from my phone.
Since one of the strengths of the N7 is that it's built for streaming, I'm wonder what other XDA'ers use for streaming their video collections. I'm talking across networks here, btw, not over a LAN (i.e. content stored locally on my home PC to my N7 while I'm on my college campus)
I have a dropbox account and a google drive account, but I can't possible store my videos there and I'm wondering if there's a solution out there yet for this kind of streaming. I'm thinking I might be able to rig something up with DLNA, but I can't turn up anything on this on the internet.
Ideally, I'd like something like Google Music for video (wouldn't we all), but I'll take anything to start. Anyone out there have a solution or know of a good service?

I would like to find a cloud service that supported video streaming. I think the Play Store and Amazon does but only for movies you purchase through them.
Not quite what you are looking for, but it works great for me is Plex. WWW.plexapp.com

Qloud also works very well.
I have a mybooklive 2tb that has all my videos and music on. Using wd2go I can access it anywhere. I dunno if that counts?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Oh yeah with the wd2go app you can connect your dropbox. So you could put videos on there. I don't know what the streaming it like as I haven't tested it. Also you would need a large account with them to make it worthwhile.

I don't know if you guys tried it, but you can stream movies from google drive.
I have subsonic for media server needs. Works great, bonus when you configure it for connection when not on the same network you can even access your media from any computer browser, if you even download say one of your mkv s from another computer the thing even zip s it up and sends it on its way

Plex is the best for video I've found. PC to n7.

Qloud is the greatest for local streaming. It will stream any type of movie format I have. I tried Plex, never could get to recognize a lot of my movies and the PC interface was buggy.

I know you can stream music from Google Drive using the Drive Tunes app, but there is no app to stream video. How do you do it WITHOUT downloading the video?
I've used multiple...but really the only two viable options I've found are Plex and Qloud, aside from hosting your own network server.
Plex is super easy to set up and works fairly well. No real complaints, except it seems to start video playback a bit later. I'm not sure if it's because the transcoding mechanism is slower or what...but it still works well.
Qloud is fantastic. It's the one I use right now and I have 0 problems with it. Took an extra ~5 minutes to set up, but totally worth it. I have different bitrates set for different devices and whether they're on 3G/4G, WAN WiFi, or local WiFi. Works perfectly.
Has anyone successfully got Google Music to work on the PlayStation 3? I have had no luck and would prefer just using my PS3, which is already connected to my TV, rather than having to drag my dock, HDMI cable and XOOM out to the living room.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
Nope, it doesn't work. I've tried it as well but have all my music available via DLNA server anyway. I assume you've got the Google Music Manager running on your PC, in which case your music is all on your PC so you could run a DLNA server and stream it to your PS3. That does work a treat.

Really? I did not know you could do that. What program are you using on your PC to stream?
I use TVMobili, but there's loads of them out there. I use that particular one because it works flawlessly. I used to use TVersity, and I've heard good things about Twonky as well. They're all pretty much the same and will stream music, pics and video across your local network. It's a doddle to set up and a doddle to use.
NVM.

now seems to be possible directly from your Android phone with AirSync by double Twist but in my PS3 doesn't work. I have install this app in my Nexus4 and my PS3 read this mediaserver, see the music, but if try to play not work, i see in my ps3 menu "format not support". Sameone could help me?
Has anyone figured out way to keep purchased songs from google on the device? I have hooked the nexus up to the PC and i cant see my purchased songs, at all. Im using music v5.6.160p.1480807. Has anyone else ran into this issue? I downloaded the music to the phone but i cant move it to my pc.. or other media devices.
Google Play Music stores downloaded music in cache which can't be accessed without root and is pretty well buried. Plus the mp3 files are named with random characters.
You would actually want to download Google Music Manager to your PC - just search for it and Google will give it to you in the first result. It's a PC syncing application that runs in the background to sync your music. Open it by the Windows system try and go to settings, there's an option to download purchased music.
Or you can go to music.google.com and download the songs from there.

Thanks I'll give that a try. This seems a little different from the old method of just DL to the phone and browse to the directory and get the songs out of the cahce to add them to the ext SD card.
Download play music exporter , just google and install the apk. It needs root and you can save cached songs to your phone without need of PC

I will try this as well, the google music manager gave me errors saying that it couldnt connect to google servers... but my internet connection was fine. Apparently, this is an ongoing issue..
