Streaming music from external hd to n7 via router?

Hi,
After a little help as per the title I wonder if it's possible to play my music collection which is currently stored on an external hd connected to my home router on my N7 without the need for my laptop to be turned on etc
Using an explorer app on the N7 I can see and access the music how I want as above, but I have to manually select the folders and tracks to then play each time rather than it already been catalogued within the player?
Is there a player or an app that can do this to make my collection available please?
Bricked/Rasbean N7

Have you tried bsplayer? It worked for me for video, but I eventually went the manual route with es file exp due to other requirements I had

I need a player or app to be able to see the music before I can do this if that makes sense?

Did you not say you could see and play the music in the OP, but only one at a time?:silly:

Yeah, sorry I didn't quite make things clear, the music is on a Lan based port via my wifi router, using es explorer I can see and play a track at a time, with the bs player suggested above I can play albums etc, but its library function is awful

I'm thinking this is a common limitation. I can see and play music on a thumbdrive via OTG, but have yet been able to find a way to play more than one song at a time even if I set the player to Random.:crying:

Poweramp will let you play from your thumb drive attached via otg and setup playlists! Don't know if it works over WiFi like the OP wants

I have the paid PowerAmp and could not do it. Have to try again, maybe I missed something.

If the external HD is connected up to your computer, you can upload your songs to google play music, which lets you stream your music to anything that has the app installed. Install the uploader on the computer and the app on the PC, very useful and works very well over 3G/HSPA. Linked it below for you.
Google play music

Thanks, I had a look at that, but I have a crap broadband where I live and it would take months to upload my music collection

@OP:
What router do you use?
Try putting OpenWRT on it if possible, and set up a dlna server (minidlna) with your collections.
You can access them afterwards with your N7 using any dlna app you like (UPnPlay or even xbmc)

Android stock gallery and movie app

Hi i'm looking for the stock galley and movies app from android. I really hate the Sony Album and Movies.
Anyone know where to get it? i googled and searched the forum but nothing there. I also can't find it in the play store.

If you still need it it's here. Move GalleryGoogle.apk to /system/app and change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then reboot.

Music player

Hi!
I wonder which music player to use. I think about Apollo and Google Play Music. In my country (Poland) we don't have Google Play Music service but I love the Google Play Music look. What do you think?

It's the built-in player included in Samsung stock ROMs. As far as I can see from your sig, you are running stock, so check it out, it should be called "Music". Everyone's preferences are different, but for me personally, it's the best option overall (even after trying quite a bunch of more advanced players). The most important feature for me is the ability to work with folders, not just playlists/albums/artists (surprisingly lacking in many other players).
Frankly, I am not familiar with the 4.2.2 version of the Sammy music player, as it might be different from 4.1.x (I played around with 4.2.2, but didn't use it extensively).

Oh, i forgot to say you, that I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed. Is it legal to download the apk with stock player and install it?

PowerAMP, good design, lots of functions

PowerAMP or player pro..! Any of the two...! Best according to me...

With Mort music player you have a folder based navigation. That's important for me. So I like Mort music player the most.

Walkman. Cant be beat

[REQUEST] HTC CAR app with google play music support)

Hi everyone,
I have a request if any developer is willing to do it (I would try if only i was skilled enough...)
I am using the HTC car app a LOT, used to have carhome but I find the native HTC app home much more responsive and intuitive...
Plus I love sense Thing is, I noticed the music widget only works with the HTC music app.
I would like to be able to listen to my online music collection with google play music, and be able to control the player with the widget on the Car app home... Would it be possible? Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks!

This would be great!

Also interested, and very interesting would be a mirrorlink support for htc CAR App!

I found a couple of posts or articles on the internet about people who would like this feature (apparently it was possible on sense 4) but nothing specific on how to achieve this on sense 5. Any help or advice if I throw myself in this quest?

Just a little up ?

The walkman on the Z1 is awful, it crashes fairly frequently, skips songs randomly, doesn't show album artwork properly and keeps trying to sign into the Sony network.

The only downside is the lack of lossless formats support...

I said no google play links on poweramp!
Wecond of all, I need more tuning of the player, I have good headphones, so I want something more

Walkman is the best music app I have used. Use the download music info to get all the album art. It has never forced closed on me on my z zl or z1. Try and clear app data. As for links buy the app from google play, you won't find links to pirated software on XDA support the devs.

I used it on my nexus 4 due to only having 16gb of space. With the z1 having a 64gb card I don't need to use play music.

Not sure why your having so many problems with the Walkman Player. Have you tried clearing the data? I used many of the music players and even purchased a few (like PowerAmp) but for a free included app, Walkman is great. I fix album art with a mp3 editor app. Are you looking for a pirated copy of PowerAMP? Its worth the price.

I used to use Google Music as my primary player but I am in love with the walkman player. I used to use GMusicFS to mount those songs in Walkman but eventually found it easier to just keep my favorite albums on my phone as even with that I had skips in my music. I do keep it installed though in case I want to listen to anything else. At about 18,000 songs so far, I love that service.

I have a few FLAC albums that play fine in my Walkman Player. Maybe a recent update?
