Whitch player to use for opening RTP network streams?
I just finished testing the new Coreplayer v1.2
That is the only app that supports RTP & RTSP streaming and works (in my experience). See the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370897
I have only done testing with the RTSP protocol, but since it is quite similar to RTP, you should have the same results as I had with the apps.
In one of my anwsers is a list of apps that support network streaming. You can test these apps.
But I can confirm that Coreplayer v1.2 was the only one to support my RTSP stream. I guess this will also apply to RTP streams.
I hope this was usefull...
When I tried to open RTP stream, it freezes
Is it an 'open' RTP server? Can I test and connect to it? (I can't find a e
server for testing at the moment)
Have you tried connecting over the PC (using VideoLAN for example) to the RTP server? Do you encounter any problems there?
If the RTP server is only accessible through your phone (via 3G for example), you might want to try and disable the hidden proxy. This possible fix was given by 'cushcalc' in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370897. Though it wasn't relevant to that problem, it might be relevant to yours.
On our netwrok we can use streaming TV. I play it with VLC(SAP) . In information about program is IP like rtp://@233.10.47.70:1234 . So I tried connect my phone to the network across my notebook. Internet goes well but TV not.
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?
Does anyone know any app that is the equivalent of or provides same functionality as "Archos Video" app or "Allshare" samsung app.
I am looking for something that is a DLNA client - has the ability to connect to home network DLNA server such as Tversity or Windows Media Player and play videos
I haven't tried it on my nook, but the app "Skifta" is a generic DLNA app ... available in the Market
EDIT: just realized you are looking for a client, not a server .... sorry ...

No Problem. Thanks for trying to help.
I'm still looking for the right combination of Server & Client. Here is my experience so far:
Mac OS DLNA Servers I'm testing (Twonky Server, Orb, Majestic, Playback, MediaLink). I want to stream Music, Movies and Photos from the iMAC/Server for playback ON the NC.
Twonky Mobile (not twonky Mobile Server) worked best for me. It played Movies, Music, and Photos from Twonky Server, Majestic, and Playback). I was only able to stream Music from the Orb server. My only complaint is the quality of playback is not consistant. But this may be caused by my WLAN bandwidth/coverage.
UPnPlayer worked as well. I did not care for the UI and playlist process. Also, it locked up when I tried to play/view photos. It played Movies and Music from Twonky Server, Majestic, and Playback). I was only able to stream Music from the Orb server.. The best thing about UPnPlayer is that it let's you choose which APP will actually Play the media (i.e. stock music player or Doubletwist, Stock Video or Rockplayer, etc.)
2Player - I was able to see all the Server applications. But it would not present the media folders from several for them. I was able to play music from Orb and Playback. The interface was my favorite, but too bad it just for music.
EML UPnP - I didn't like this one so I did not test it much. But it was able to see most of the Media Servers. Appeared to be Music only.
Hope this helps
I know therebis a WMC app as well as one for VLC.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I got the nook color yesterday and its already rooted with 0.6.8 (froyo in emmc).
I will try the suggestions over the weekend.
I directly sent both local media from my device and internet media to chromecast connected to WiFi AP in tethered mode from same device: a thing that was deemed impossible.
Procedure:
1) started WiFi tethering on main device (Galaxy Note 2, N7100, 4.1.2 firmware, N.E.A.K kernel);
2) long pressed chromecast button to reset and start configuration;
3) used a second android device, with chromecast application, to configure the chromecast dongle with main device WiFi cloud;
4) turned off second device;
5) started Bubbleupnp on main device;
6) in devices tab, selected chromecast as renderer and "local media server" as library;
7) then in library tab, chose a video, and believe it or not it started playing on chromecast yabbadabbadoo!
I also successfully casted music files, Google plus photos, dropbox files, and whatnot from Bubbleupnp.
Then I tried another app, mirror4cast, which mirrors the android device screen to chromecast, and you know, this worked perfectly too
Finally, I got arrogant and decided to try YouTube. The official app does not recognize the chromecast dongle in this setup, so instead of using it, I opened my browser (mobile Firefox) and loaded a web page with several embedded YouTube videos. To send them to the chromecast dongle, I used another third party application, Web Video Caster. Full success, in fact I am enjoying a Rolling Stones video while writing this
Now people please experiment and confirm my findings, to exclude I am hallucinating or I got an happily defective unit…

Is this Different than just using AllCast. Doesn't AllCast stream directly?

AllCast streams media directly from the device to Chromecast.
mirror4cast streams what's on the device's screen (including UI) to Chromecast.
"Normal" aka "optimized" streaming with Chromecast is not dependent on the controlling device (after the cast is started) - Chromecast itself goes and retrieves the video stream directly.

Yea I know how it normally works. So this just does screen mirroring vs local streaming as with AllCast.
Mirror4Cast = Mirroring phone screen content to TV
AllCast = Media Streaming content to TV
Nice

Is this dependent on the ROM and/or kernel you are using? Did the kernel developer do something special?

Might just be some built-in intelligent routing or bridging.
I am using the N.E.A.K. kernel for the Note 2. Stock firmware 4.1.2.
I don't know if this kernel has any special features which allow what I described.
Still hope that someone tries on his own to confirm my findings.

Question in order to use bubbleupnp do you need to install any server application or software on the desktop which need to on when you want to use bubbleupnp or no as I am having problem casting trough that thanks
Of course the setting I described doesn't include any external desktop server , only phone and chromecast. This allows to show only chromecast - compatible media, not those that have to be converted on the fly.

I'm replying to let you know that this method works perfectly. I just bought a Chromecast yesterday for work. I assumed before buying it that I could just stream directly from my phone to the Chromecast without a WiFi network, not realising what an issue this was. I spent about an hour fooling around with it and stumbled upon bubbleupnp by accident. I hadn't figured out the streaming from online part yet though so well done on that. If it's of any use to anyone I am doing this from a galaxy S5 using the stock ROM with no root so I don't think the OP's custom ROM or Kernel enable anything special. I tried most of the other DLNA and upnp apps and none worked as well for me as bubbleupnp did.
OP, I found bubble plays the MP4's just fine but I can't get AVI's working, have you figured out a way to transcoded on the fly without the need for a PC?
I can get some avi files to show, other not, and haven't investigated yet where is the difference. I don't think it's easy to transcode on the fly with the phone's processor, even if maybe with the most recent ones that might be feasible. We should look for something like the bubbleupnp server.
Maybe running it in a Linux session on the same phone?
I'll look into that.

Apps can only stream video that the Chromecast supports naitively. I found a short list of other apps that work this way on my Nexus 5.
Real Player Cloud - free. Stream videos and music directly from device or the 3GB of online storage you get, also for free.
Tv Portal - donate for the Chromecast patch. Stream a pretty large list of recent TV and movies.
Vevo - free. Stream full concerts and music videos.
Google+ photos - free. Stream pictures and videos from your online backup.
Stevie - free. Facebook and Twitter as a stream.
Google Play Music - free app paid subscription (it should stream without a subscription if you buy music by the track or upload your own). Stream music from Google Servers.
I gave it a try and it worked great, but I thought, what will happen if my phone doesn't have a data signal? So I made a bogus APN so that I wouldn't have any signal and then turned on the hotspot and tried it. No luck, chomecast wants to verify that it is connected to the internet before you can cast anything to it. Can anyone find a way around this little problem?
Yes, I second that. When I tried to hook my Chromecast to the wifi ap *without* a second device (giving the Chromecast the sid of my WiFi ap and - only afterwards - starting WiFi tethering) it worked for a while than stopped complaining that it could not authenticate with Google Play Services.

New mirror feature works over AP on my nexus 5!!!
Also mirror4cast mirrored on internal AP in tethering mode. Good for presentations on the go.

I'm trying to have the chromecast connect to my phones wifi tether hotspot but in doing so I cannot enable a wifi connection to then connect to the chromecast. The chromecast app says it needs to turn wifi back on and thus tethering off. I'm using the MirrorEnabler for chromecast.
Is there any way to force data to be used for internet while my phones wifi is connected to a internetless router along with the chromecast? This is the closest ive got aside from the chromecast still needing some sort of validation from the internet to allow me to stream to it. I was able to test this locally and after setting up screencasting, I disconnected the router and was still able to stream the screen. I however lost the ability for my phone to get content as well.
A usually hidden chromecast wifi network also popped up on my phone once and I was able to directly connect to my chromecasts wifi and screencast that way. I haven't seen it since however.
