By far the slickest way of controlling media on your pc or xbox1 or Linux box...
Install XBMC
Get XBMC remote from Google Code
It's superb.

OMG YOU ARE THE BEST THANKS SO MUCH 100% what im looking for
Hi, One reason i like using Windows Mobile phones is that it can access my folders shared on my network, and as such, I can access pictures and my video files or divx videos to play remotely.
Is there a way on my streak to do the same thing? Now that I have my dock. I would love a way to access my movies and so and play them remotely. Anyone have a idea on how android devices could do this? Thanks.

Thanks. The app in question to use now is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158 The CIFS Manager. This should hopefully do the trick. =D Cause who wants to pay for a "server app" on your PC.. when youd think it can just read it Natively. Thats why I have a windows ppc. Tho the app I got there works.. but it sucks cause none of the menu UI comes up right... tho still managed it.
lou0611 I dont wanna stream from a server or convert the files, I could do that but I rather just open my network folders, pick my file and play
Is there got any app that able to mirror Android device's screen to another Android device? For example, I use my device to watch movie and share the screen to my friend which own Android device.

Group play can't cast video even s4 also can't do that. All share play is only for laptop and own device only.

There's an app called Airstream
Install Airstream server on your device and the Airstream app on your friends device... And if both of you are on the same wifi network your friend could stream off ur phone or even copy Contents from your phone.

Nope.. It works perfectly .. I use it to stream movies from my galaxy tab to note and vice versa
I have also installed their server app for windows to stream stuff from my laptop
Maybe you are doing something wrong
Install Airstream server app from playstore on phone 1
Airstream app from the playstore on phone 2
Turn on server on phone 1
Stream using the app from phone 2.
Simple as that

There's also an app called share screen which does what you want but it's for pairing tablets to phones. I don't know if it will work on phone to phone.. But give it a try.. Good luck

If you are talking about the setup app, that is what I used to set up my ChromeCast. It worked very well. I plan on keeping the app on my phone for occasions when I may want to take my ChromeCast with me to some other wifi location.

Seems like you guys need to create a guide on how to use them together.

What does that have to do with the ChromeCast? This app is for communication with a PC, not a ChromeCast on a TV.
AirDroid runs through the Chrome browser. If you want it to work with ChromeCast, you'd have to cast the tab you have AirDroid open in on your computer to your TV.
Does seem a bit pointless really, it's a wi-fi app used to transfer files from/to your PC without having to mess about with USB leads etc, why would you need to display it on your TV screen too ?
How to mount smb share with Nexus 6 on android 5.1.1 ?
to be able to stream from different applications
I do it with ES File Explorer.

They won't work for what he wants. That would only be available in ES, not for example, power amp.
However, he could launch media files from the explorer itself.but its a bit of a pain

You would be best mounting using CIFS but I think you'll need a custom kernel to support it

That's what I do. You do need an explorer anyway to search for the files. Look up the file, tap it, select the app that will open it. I don't see how that's a pain, it's the same as in any other computer, basically. Alternatively, the player app itself has to support it, like Dice Player but I don't use that as much cause the sorting options suck.

Well, if you use poweramp for example, you can mount your NAS as a CIFS share to a local folder on your SDCard, then you can use the app's built in media library / browser to play the music, which is much easier for those who use that sort of thing. Its certainly fewer steps, however, it has it's own downfalls too.
