tired of fighting with cifs.ko mounts cifsloader and different kind of kernels and other ***** stuffs i found a much simple way to watch my videos from the pc (without having to download them)
just install easyphp on your pc http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/
then open your stock browser on your xoom and point to the pc IP
if u have moboplayer installed (or i suppose any other video player) on your xoom, the video just starts to play.
1. u should put your videos in the right directory on your pc: C:\Program Files (x86)\VLCShares\www for the 64bit windows 7 and C:\Program Files\VLCShares\www for the 32bit
AND/OR
2. u can add as many alias directories pointing the real directories in where u store your movies: example C:\Users\Administrator\Videos how?
there is a bug in the administration page of the easyphp about creation of alias directories.
u must open the apache configuration file (right click, configuration, apache) and at the end of the txt file add, for example
Alias /video "C:\Users\Administrator\Videos"
<Directory "C:\Users\Administrator\Videos">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
restart the server and point your xoom broswer to IP/video
(IP is the ip number of your windows machine)
if your wifi is fast then the movie goes fast and the quality is perfect (100 times better than using vlc direct pro)
i tried also using this system with firefox beta on the xoom but the broswer try to download the file instead of opening the player...so...use the stock browser.
ciao
What configuration needs to be done to easyphp? Any windows firewall exceptions need to be made? Router configuration changes needed?
Installing easyphp and connecting to my computer's ip gives me a webpage not available error message in the stock browser.
Where does the vlcshares directory come from? Do you have to create it? It doesn't exist after installing easyphp.
Could you expand on the setup of this?

sorry i corrected the link above.
u must install the vlc shares version of easyphp (http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/downloads/detail?name=vlc-shares_0.5.4_installer.exe), then it creates the vlcshares directory itself on your pc. (C:\Program Files (x86)\VLCShares)
i didnt have to touch any router configuration or firewall permission.
its just a kind of hhtp server under port 80, so, if u dont have another http server running on same port u dont have to change nothing on your pc or router.
Very cool, works really nice!
One thing I noticed.
Moboplayer does not handle spaces in filenames/directories. If there is a space in a filename or if a video file is in a directory that has a space in the directory name, Moboplayer will not be able to play the file.
Rockplayer/Rockplayer lite does handle spaces in filenames properly.
i have the same page not available on my xoom, i installed everything correctly on my laptop and added an alias with a movies folder then whenever i try to access my ip address from the xoom or the ip/folder name i get page not available
Hey hey,
Just wanted to tell you guys that i've been streaming videos from my pc to my xoom with es file explorer and mx video player + codecs. No need for extra software on your pc, just share your movie folder on your pc and connect with es file explorer to the pc, select movie and play with you favorite player
Hope this helps

but still this wouldn't play regular avi files that are not supported by xoom right ?
Hmm
For me, every single AVI file worked for now.
Xoom can't play avi with stock video player, but MX Video Player and Mobo Player are able to handle avi files.

Are you sure, that u installed the right codec pack, the one for the Tegra 2?
Another suggestion would be if it only happens over Network or does you MX Player also close when you try to play files stored on your tablet?

Not all AVI files are compressed using the same video codecs, so some will work and some won't, all depends on the codecs.
Do a search for video codecs, it might help.
Although this is not the correct method to solve the issue, most of the newer ROMs support more video codecs, so try an update, if you haven't already. Or you can try converting the AVI to MP4, DivX, etc. There are even some apps that convert video files on the phone (no need for PC conversion).
so it's not a phone issue,thanks at all
Try using mobo player. It plays basically any file
What's a signature?
So I shot a video (43 min long or so) and now I have no idea how to open it on my computer and edit it. I copied it onto my computer. It is an MPEG4 and says Quicktime & WMP cannot recognize the file. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Try VLC, it will play just about anything.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone had any issues when trying to copy a .mp4 file onto their PC and playing it back?
I keep getting a Windows error message saying file type unsupported.
This is after a night of trying to get them to play on my partners naff PC, it was greenscreening all the videos...
I'm going to try to copy them onto my HDD instead of playing them through the phone > USB > PC.

Erm, have you tried VLC Player? It should play those files just fine. WMP is just a piece of sh*t...

Ofcourse... VLC was the first program I tried to run the videos in, then I moved onto a few other programs.
Tried them on my laptop and they are running fine. I think it's just my partners laptop, it's [email protected]

Bump..! Anyone ?
In my opinion, the best way to access files of your PC is to share your folders on the PC and mount them on your phone through CIFS. This is the most natural way, just like you'd do it between PCs.
CifsManager makes this pretty easy. You just need to enter the path to your PC share, user name and password, and where you what the share to be mounted on your phone's file system. Then you can mount and unmount the share with a singe click, and access all the files from the PC just if they were local files.
Note: The phone needs to be rooted though. And there is a bug in android kernel 3.4.0, which makes it hard to get CIFS working. ("Invalid argument" error, even if you enter everything correctly). Let us know if you run into that problem.
