I for the life of me cannot find a good UPnP or DLNA app for the android, I tried the one that comes with our phone (allshare) and it reads and picks up fine but the problem is when I try and play a video it wont let me.
Seems like a common situation with all the other UPnP apps that I saw. I just want to know if there is any apps that are even close to good.
I have tried orb and its not that great for video.
For me on SUSE 11.2 system, the problem with Allshare not playing audio and video files turned out to be some problem with the media server. After I replaced mediatomb with minidnla, Allshare played those files just fine.
The Allshare player app still isn't very good though; is on a par with UPnPlay.

Hm I'm using lemonade firmware via verizon 7501 router. I'll give minidlna a try. every other device I have that uses dlna doesnt have a problem with playback except the captivate.
Search for DLNA servers that transcode. The problem is not a Captivate problem, but one with the whole concept. No one defined what plays where so more likely then not, the server has files the client doesn't understand. The solution is a server that can transcode on the fly. they do exist.
here is a very old comparison link;
http://www.rbgrn.net/content/21-how-to-choose-dlna-media-server-windows-mac-os-x-or-linux
I actually found that link (due to crs, I'd already forgotten it) and used it to search for available linux alternatives to mediatomb; minidlna was just the first I found. Looks like transcoding is an open question for minidlna.
Anyway, it seems that Allshare is a more robust server than client application.
thanks for the link and info I'll give them a try
VLC Stream & Convert
Have you tried using VLC Stream & Convert? This is advertised as a mere remote control for VLC, but it also handles streaming direct to the phone. Have to make sure you set up VLC and firewall properly on the server then connect with your phone to use phone as a remote, or to watch/listen on the phone.
AndroMote is also a great app. Will work with any UPnP media server. However, this only streams audio. Just make sure you go into settings and choose the local device as the media renderer, or you will receive error message when you try to play a file.
If these 2 apps are no good for you then I would suggest loading a ROM that has cifs (samba) support. Then you can map all your media to your filesystem.

If the file won't play via allshare, it probably will not play if you copy it down to the phone. I just convert all my media on my DVR to mp4 and copy to my phone via USB- I can stream it via allshare if I want to, but if I am home I watch on a bigger screen. If I am away I have it with me, I am not going to try and stream a 500MB file to my phone.
BTW, FTP server should be faster then Samba and there should be an android FTP client in the market.
Do we even have a rom that has samba support?
Hello
I was wondering if there is some kind of application
That makes the device to Strimer
In other words, instead of copying to the device HD movies
I can see it directly from the network
you can use smartshare and dlna and stream movies you have on the pc
How I do it?
VLC has an option for this. Try the app VLC Direct and install VLC Media player on your desktop. You got 2 ways of streaming with it, from the PC to your phone, or the other way around. The app itself has a tutorial, so you should be fine!
Hi all!
I already have a DLNA compatible Philips TV and I run 2 differnen DLNA server apps on my Win 7 PC, Windows Media Player 12 and TVersity. That way I can browse and play almost all my movies on my PC from the TV interface.
Now I just got my first Galaxy S.
Used, with stock Android 2.2. First thing, I rooted it and prepare to install CM 10.1.
But before removing stock I want to learn how DLNA works on the phone.
I took some photos and videos that I want to stream to the TV.
The stock AllShare would sometimes display my TV as selectable target, sometimes not.
When I could select the TV I could always stream photos to the TV but only sometimes videos.
The same happened with Skifta.
I will also test some other DLNA players such as MediaHouse, iMediaShare, Beam, BubbleUp.
But so far my results seem unpredicatable and unreliable.
I searched the web and XDA but found very little.
Can somebody share their experiences of streaming media from Galaxy S ot a TV?
Working configurations?
Would somebody have an install apk to AllShare?
The Samsung support pages recommend installing their AllShare server software. Is that important? MWP and Tversity should be compatible, or maybe not?

AFAIK AllShare isnt supported by CyanogenMod... AllShare works only on Stock Gingerbread Roms with the standard framework.
You have to use apps like imediashare or something. The Streaming works very well with stock... The only problems are the free apps which are provided in the market in my opinion. the most of them have a really annoying UI but it works. music, photos are working fine. for videos i cant say anything since i didnt try to stream movies.
tell me the best wway to stream over wifi movies on my N7..
thnks
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.

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

For some reason the default video player cannot stream to DLNA (at least mine doesn't). Grab iMediaShare from Play Store, works like a charm. The paid version lets you even stream videos directly from YouTube!
Hope that helps.
Thanks for Reply

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't work for me, why does the standard video player not work it's ridiculous don't you think, they include a feature on a high end device that isn't working.
??????
Still no answers for this?????
Got the same problem
I got the same problem when trying to stream any video I recorded with my HTC to XBMC-DLNA player through the stock video player. Other players seem to do the work with no issues. Any news on this?
same here. imediashare is working, htc player not working, htc lies about dlna in the spec.
