Good Video Cloud Service?

Since one of the strengths of the N7 is that it's built for streaming, I'm wonder what other XDA'ers use for streaming their video collections. I'm talking across networks here, btw, not over a LAN (i.e. content stored locally on my home PC to my N7 while I'm on my college campus)
I have a dropbox account and a google drive account, but I can't possible store my videos there and I'm wondering if there's a solution out there yet for this kind of streaming. I'm thinking I might be able to rig something up with DLNA, but I can't turn up anything on this on the internet.
Ideally, I'd like something like Google Music for video (wouldn't we all), but I'll take anything to start. Anyone out there have a solution or know of a good service?

I would like to find a cloud service that supported video streaming. I think the Play Store and Amazon does but only for movies you purchase through them.

Not quite what you are looking for, but it works great for me is Plex. WWW.plexapp.com

Qloud also works very well.

I have a mybooklive 2tb that has all my videos and music on. Using wd2go I can access it anywhere. I dunno if that counts?

Oh yeah with the wd2go app you can connect your dropbox. So you could put videos on there. I don't know what the streaming it like as I haven't tested it. Also you would need a large account with them to make it worthwhile.

I don't know if you guys tried it, but you can stream movies from google drive.

I have subsonic for media server needs. Works great, bonus when you configure it for connection when not on the same network you can even access your media from any computer browser, if you even download say one of your mkv s from another computer the thing even zip s it up and sends it on its way

Plex is the best for video I've found. PC to n7.

Qloud is the greatest for local streaming. It will stream any type of movie format I have. I tried Plex, never could get to recognize a lot of my movies and the PC interface was buggy.

I know you can stream music from Google Drive using the Drive Tunes app, but there is no app to stream video. How do you do it WITHOUT downloading the video?

I've used multiple...but really the only two viable options I've found are Plex and Qloud, aside from hosting your own network server.
Plex is super easy to set up and works fairly well. No real complaints, except it seems to start video playback a bit later. I'm not sure if it's because the transcoding mechanism is slower or what...but it still works well.
Qloud is fantastic. It's the one I use right now and I have 0 problems with it. Took an extra ~5 minutes to set up, but totally worth it. I have different bitrates set for different devices and whether they're on 3G/4G, WAN WiFi, or local WiFi. Works perfectly.

Transferring music from iTunes

As a noob to Android as well as the Atrix HD, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether I have to convert the mp4 music file format iTunes uses to mp3 before I use Welcome Home to transfer the music. I'd like to do this in one swell foop if you know what I mean. I also have no idea if I can transfer the ring tones I made in iTunes to this phone and if so, how do I do it? My phone will arrive today and I'm so excited to finally leave Apple and the closed OS ecosystem.
Also if anyone has any tips early on, I'd love to hear them. ATT has some good tutorials and the Atrix manual seems good too.
Thanks.

Have you looked into doubletwist?

Download Google music on your computer and sync with iTunes and boom music.. I have 30gb of music without having one song on my phone
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

My laptop runs WinXP and I installed Music Manager and it seemed very buggy so I couldn't upload my iTunes. I also installed Double Twist and it easily imported my iTunes music but all the files show the lock (DRM). Are you saying that once Double Twist is installed on my phone that the Atrix running 4.0.4 will play the music without any problems? I was looking at the online manual for the phone and I see that Moto/ATT offer the Welcome Home apps for both PC and phone so that also may be the solution. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to convert the music files in iTunes from mp4 to mp3 so that they will play on the phone.. Any ideas?
Thanks folks.. much appreciated.

Google Music on PlayStation 3

Has anyone successfully got Google Music to work on the PlayStation 3? I have had no luck and would prefer just using my PS3, which is already connected to my TV, rather than having to drag my dock, HDMI cable and XOOM out to the living room.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Nope, it doesn't work. I've tried it as well but have all my music available via DLNA server anyway. I assume you've got the Google Music Manager running on your PC, in which case your music is all on your PC so you could run a DLNA server and stream it to your PS3. That does work a treat.

Really? I did not know you could do that. What program are you using on your PC to stream?

I use TVMobili, but there's loads of them out there. I use that particular one because it works flawlessly. I used to use TVersity, and I've heard good things about Twonky as well. They're all pretty much the same and will stream music, pics and video across your local network. It's a doddle to set up and a doddle to use.

NVM.

Stream Downloaded Movies to Chromecast ?

Hey Guys,
Im looking to stream movies that i have downloaded to my SD card from my Tab S to my chromecast. I have All cast which i use for Streaming Showbox, But is there an app that i can get (Paid or not) that will allow me to stream directly to chromecast from my Tab S?
Thanks in advance
I have no problem paying for an app either, What has the best interface and the least amount of bugs.

The Chromecast app itself has screencast. Did you try that?

The best program I can recommend is still Plex , but it requires a PC and software and Plex account... But yeah, if stability isn't important, your first steps should be trying something like BubbleUPNP or Allcast or of course the Chromecast app (but the latter was eternally buggy for me).

I agree, I use plex to stream from my laptop or just the Chromecast app on my iPad.

Didnt even know that was an option. I try that out

Plex /thread.
Absolutely love it!

Bubbleupnp is the way!

I have found if screen mirroring works natively, you can use VLC to play videos to the Chromecast while mirroring. Your device is used as a remote while the file is streamed.

There's a ton of apps out there that can cast local media, so screen casting is pointless. One of the better ones and free is Local cast.

DLNA from phone to Windows media center (win7) ?

I have a Windows media center 7 in my living room. Is there a way to make wmc7 receive DLNA content from my phone?
So I can stream pictures and videos from my phone directly to my htpc ?

I believe there are few dnla servers in play store

Skifta works pretty well for me...

The various ones I've tried, don't see Windows media center as a device I can stream to....

I'm not sure my question is clear, my TV doesn't have smart features like UPnP or DLNA. But I do have a computer media center (htpc) hooked up, so what I want to do is be able to stream videos and pictures from my note 4 to the computer over wifi and show on the tv without copying the files directly.
But I don't know how to "enable" UPnP or DLNA on the computer to accept the connection from the phone. (again the phone would be the source, the computer would be accepting and displaying the content - I think most people do it the other way around)

Easy answer and foolproof. Spend $30+ on chromecast or fire tv stick or read a little about setting up dnla client on your version of Windows
