So I recently picked up the KFHD and I am loving the sound and video quality it produces. It's not rooted and I may not try and get it rooted since I will not be using it extensively. The only small problem I have so far if not being able to easily access music or video from my PC easily like I was able to, using app (like allshare) on my phone. If it is possible, how would I go about streaming this media from my PC to my KFHD? I've already tried using ES file explorer to view files and media on my PC but it's incredibly slow and does not load anything..
Hi! You can use BubbleUpnp or plex. Hope it helps

You can also "stream" via SMB (Windows fileshare).
I do this with ES Filemanager and MX player <- works great and is much faster than dlna

Thank you both for your replies! I went with BubbleUPnP and it works perfectly.

My PC and Nexus connected to same network over wifi. I tried to do subject over estrongs file explorer but there is no result I can't play any video file unless I coppied it to the phone. I what to watch video streamming from the PC, without needs copping. I guess there must be special app for this task. But wich one is it?

I haven't been able to stream from my pc, but I can use ES to copy a file to my sdcard and play it via rock player. I'm pretty sure there are served based apps like OrbLive that allows you to stream from your desktop, but they require you to install a service on your pc. My pc is cluttered enough as it is, so personally I'm against that route.
Curious as to any other options you uncover.

i believe gmote allows some video streaming though i'm unsure of which file types.
Gmote won't do divx avi. Otherwise it's a perfectly workable solution for mp4 and any format that android natively supports.

Perfectly will be to watch avi using estrongs file explorer over samba via yxplayer. But any of files can't be open direct from the PC in estrongs file explorer at least. They must be first coppied to the phone. How can I open files direct from PC like if I do that from PC to PC?

Maybe there is a player which can play video over UPnP for example?

If you're rooted - look in Development forum, there's a post about how to mount the Samba server path as one of the system directories using binaries. This would allow you to do exactly what you want to do.
You might also try using RockPlayer Beta as the media player.

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?

Subsonic is a good app.
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.
tell me the best wway to stream over wifi movies on my N7..

Plex..

DLNA/uPNP.. There are plenty of apps on both end to do the job. On the Android side, it will use your existing movie player(s) with a client in the middle to do the DLNA browsing.
Xmbc would be a good start

i have serviio on my pc to share to all the house and then you just need a dlna client. i use imediashare. and use another player to read all kind of sound and video codecs like mxplayer.
I used an NFS Server. Cifs didn't worked very well for me... It always hangs with cifs.
And yes, I mounted the Server shares on 4.2.2.... this is possible with my kernel...
network share folders, use a server app like some said, or just a file manager app to see shared folders on the network and mx player to play
.. um, or again, just install a DLNA server. It's not hard people. Don't have to worry about NFS, CIFS, various network filesystems... It just works.
Two easy solution. Just buy an Asus router with UPnP support, such as the RT-N16. It have usb connection in the back. Connect your harddrive to it, then log into the router menu and enable UPnP. Only thing about this is for some reason when unplug the harddrive to add more files, it didn't update the new files int he library afterward, I had to delete the library files for it to do scan all over.
Or if you want to do it from the PC, there are many apps, but you can use XBMC, add folders to the Videos library, then enable UPnP in the Settings. But you have to keep your PC on all the time.
On your Nexus 7, download XBMC hardware accelerated test build, search for UPnP devices in the Videos section. Or download VPlayer + the UPnP plugin.
Also I want to note XBMC hardware accelerated build have more codecs support than MX Player.
The best solution is to buy an Ouya, connect a harddrive directly to the Ouya, then connect the Ouya to the TV and watch the movie on a larger screen.
Es file manager or cifs

Plex, or bsplayer. I find xbmc too bloated on a tablet.

Es file manager for hd film, plex not really good streaming hd film.

The top pick may be Plex. They have a media server for both Windows and Mac, and apps for many different devices including Android. I use it to watch my TV shows and movies on my tablet and it works very well.
download app ArkMC as well on Android and connect with WI-FI, stream video, photos to any players
Playon works great for me

I use an app called Playon and Playlater. You can buy it for a one time fee and it will stream almost anything, including Hulu, from your PC to your phone, tablet, etc. The Playlater allows you to record a show for later playback on various devices, including off line.
VLC Streamer works pretty good.

I'll throw in Ps3MediaServer. Easy to use.
MediaHouse (free or pro)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dbapp.android.mediahouse&hl=nl
Mx Player (free or pro) (mx player sound is extra loud)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwyLDEsImNvbS5teHRlY2gudmlkZW9wbGF5ZXIuYWQiXQ..
And Serviuo for you pc (Serviio is easy to use with hardsubs)
http://www.serviio.org/
And a headset or speaker because de speakers in the N7 are way to soft
By far, the easiest way to "stream" your videos is using Archos Videoplayer
Its fully hardware accelerated, doesnt require any kind of server to be running on your pc, doesnt have the limitations of DLNA, doesnt need special CIF applications to be installed to see samba shares. Doesnt need any external player like xbmc to hardware accelerate
It simply connects to whichever windows samba share you created on your network with all your videos, index all the videos in the share, automatically collects movieposters and subtitles, and play the videos of almost any format, including HD rips in mkv, with dts or ac3 audio and subtitles over WiFi
you need both the player
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.videofree&feature=search_result
and the codecs for various audio like dts and ac3
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m4rk3t.libcopy2&feature=search_result
really dont need a server software running, just allow network share of your files and use es file manager to find them and video player of your choice
Could you please tell me if it is possible to stream music and movies from your shared folders on your pc and if so what is the easiest and best way?
cheers guys
I use plex app + plex server on pc to stream to every device ipad iphone android phone and pc i & or my friends own works great but you need to buy the app for every mobile device

If your using windows 7 you can set it to share media also. I'm not looking at it now but I think somewhere in the top left corner of the stock windows media player there is an option to allow streaming.

You can share media and documents from Windows on the same LAN.
