Got some streaming working on my G Tab running CM B4. Runs smooth on 480Pish video.
Here's what I used:
UPnPlay- http://www.appbrain.com/app/upnplay/cx.hoohol.silanoid Its a bit rough, listed as Alpha, but gets the job done. Plays/pauses easily but fast forwarding is a pain and skipping via the scrubber isnt possible.
Tversity- http://tversity.com/ desktop DLNA server.
This is a quick and dirty setup. If anyone has any ideas of a better setup, especially client, let me know .
I wonder if cifsmanager will work (if there is a cifs.ko yet) The tablet should be omw to my house right now if she picks it up for me at Sears.
Androstream pro should work, maybe test the free version out?
test out Filmon.com free streaming tv if the tablets browser uses the android user agent.
Cifs.Ko doesn't work yet, so upnplay is the best option so far. I enabled the upnp service in XBMC. Too bad rockplayer doesn't properly utilize the hardware decoding yet...
Androstream pro loads but it seams to crash while getting the video file.
Upnplayer works but has horrible choppy audio in the standard players. After installing Soul Player and changing Twonky it plays video well. I cant play MKV's yet.
Filmon.com works, but with another browser
m.playon.tv (if you have playon) wont work until they fix it. Upnplayer connects but I havent gotten anything to playback yet.
Gmote works perfectly minus. Subs (I'm sure it can be fixed if I research more)
Until there is. A Cifs.ko or I can figure out androstream gmote is the way.
Zumocast needs a client, was slow navigating the website for me.
I'm going to change the client peofile in twonky / mezzmo to see it that helps upnplayer (even though gmote is perfect for playback and scanning rr / ff )

Anyone use orb? I use it on my Droid x and it streams just fine but on the gtab I get video but no audio. Anyone know what to do?
thanks
Also when I try to play audio files orb force closes
I'm using Orb with my Gtab to watch TV from my HAVA box, and it works ok. I had to configure a user in Orb to use the Flash player. I installed the Orb software a LONG time ago, so it's an older version.

Is there an app that allows you to convert a link of a TV show or whatever into playable mode to zoom? I know this can easily be done with YouTube but I want to capture a long video straight from my xoom..
you could check if dolphin browser hd has a plugin for it but I doubt it.
I suppose......you could run a vnc client like logmein and use a firefox plugin like downloadhelper[what I use] via firefox on your pc and then send it to yourself via dropbox but thats a hell of a lot of work! X)
hello,
I just get my xoom and i would like to be able to read video file from my Pc (windows). I don't want a stream software (like orb) I would like to read with moboplayer or another one. I try to use es explorer to access file on the computer but when I launch the video but player as to copy everything before. I try to use cfis manager but it is not working with tiamat 1.3.2.
So if someone get a solution it would be perfect
thks
hmmm...did you load the cifs prior to using conf manager? THat's what i use and it works great. ONly option out there unless you encode your videos for streaming.
I play movies from a pc drive by mounting the drive on the xoom.
Here is a guide I wrote up to get it working.

i use tversity. Prettygoood post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039808
Two things that may simplify the process for you.
Look for an app like Twonkey that will allow UPNP streams. They are NOT converted so the file will need to be a playable file format on the Xoom for it to work. As a bonus Twonkey will allow you to stream video from the Xoom to your PC or UPNP/DLNA capable TV.
Wait for Plex to release their update for the Xoom. This is VERY close to completion, but I can not give you any exact details. Plex makes Orb look like a steaming pile of you know what, with regard to browsing your media library and the quality of the transcoding. As a few lingering bugs get worked out it will also allow for native streaming of the file with no transcode if bandwidth allows.
Yeah so when is plex coming out for xoom? I've been waiting for it since february! patiently, no less! as it is i'm using skifta as a dlna client, but the image is wonky and it doesn't work nearly as well as plex does on my iphone.
You could just, you know, send me the plex beta apk? I already bought it for android. thanks?
I use Ubuntu at home and here is my setup. You can certainly modify it for a Windows box.
I use Coherence as a UPNP server on ly computer. Youcan use Tversity on Windows for a similar service.
On my Xoom, I run an app call UPNP Play, which will find all UPNP severs on your wifi network. I choose the file I want, and play it via Rockplayer.
So far I haven't had any problems. No need for transcoding at all. Most files I tried have worked beautifully. But I haven't tried a h.264 file yet.
Playon has a beta MyMedia function that converts and streams and works pretty well on my Zoom to watch my .avi and mkv files. Not free but it works pretty well and gives you Netflix too.

PlayOn is my top favorite since I can watch shows from Hulu on it
Skifta is my second choice because I use it to stream all other types of contents from my primary media server - http://vortexbox.org

Well we are working on the RC for public release right now. Two major bugs were found in it and are being fixed as I type this. Public release should be right around the corner.
Sorry but I cant hand out the beta apks. Hell I probably should not be telling you that its almost out. I know its been far too long and some are loosing interest, but the wait will be worth it.
thx for all in fact the problem was in the cifs.ko not loaded, now everything work except cfis manager that I have to load from the market (not from the app ) :/
Now i have to find a quick way to encode video (all high profile :/)
I tried out an app I've used on my phone before for streaming. VLC Stream & Convert. Basically you leave VLC running on your PC, the app connects to it through the VLC web interface and lets you browse for files, once you pick something it has VLC convert it to an Android compatible format then streams the output to your device.
Since it can stream anything that VLC can play that means it capable of using ripped DVD. I tried it out with a couple ISOs I had on my file server and they worked. three were a few problems though. Obviously it's a video stream so menus won't work. That's fine if the DVD goes straight into the movie, but otherwise you can end up in a loop of the menu. I did find that you can pick which title you want to play in the VLC menu and it'll just switch over to streaming that.
Also, you have to run the app in zoom mode, not stretch to fit or the video is really small. Which was the only other snag I ran into, since the app was written for phone the video options Max out at settings for a smaller screen.
Have you tried Plex for streaming movies, its a lot more efficient way of streaming to your Xoom
