Is there any software that allows streaming music from a PC, but being able to control the music remotely, too? I mean rather than just creating a radio stream
Do you mean across your network or from your data plan?
If you are talking your netowrk on wifi then the HTC network plugin works great to stream MP3s off a file share. I use it all the time. I am quite sure it would stream video if I cared to do it.
As for streaming remoteley from your PC to your phone across the phone data plan I really don't know. I am sure there is some solution out there.
I'd prefer over WiFi (ie, leaving my PC on at home and connecting my phone to the WiFi at work)
winamp mobile

For Wifi @ home I use resco explorer with a mapped drive to access the music files direct.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the HTC network plugin? I've been wondering if there's a way to browse shared folders on my home network, and streaming audio/video would be awesome.
When away, does anyone have any experience with WebGuide for Vista/MCE? I've heard great things, but the documentation is awful, and Im' stumbling around looking for clearer directions...

"winamp remote" works fine. Well, it streams the data over an internet server, which is a little bit strange when you only use them on your wifi at home.
But what about the streaming ability of the "windows media player"?
It also has the ability to stream. Unfortunately I was not able to figure out the adress where to receive the data.
Who knows it?
Hey fellow xoom users, i found this app that finally solves the problem of media streaming from windows to android devices. All u have to do is download the app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skifta.android.app&feature=search_result
and create an account and download the desktop client, and fiddle with your windows media player settings and it works beautifully for streaming movies, pictures, and music. It works on local wifi and over public networks when u sign up. It works with any DLNA device too, and an xbox 360 and ps3 for streaming. It is the only app that works for this. If u have an alternate media player for unsupported formats like avi it even plays those files through that app while streaming. and from my use, it streams very well over any half decent wifi, but still requires wifi. i tried it on my EVO 4g and even oven 4g it would not stream, so thats the only downside. ENJOY!!!

Looks awesome, I was just looking for something like this. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks
down side is that unless you tagged your movies for streaming during conversion you can only download from your NAS. Can't beat cifs manager for no holds barred streaming
I'am looking for an app which is able to access my music library in Itunes/WMP/Winamp/ etc..and is able to stream music over my home network without any internet connection. I'm using Windows 7 currently.
I looked for apps like mspot..subsonic..but all are cloud version only requiring an active internet connection.
I just want to stream music in my home from my laptop to my DS.
thnx
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

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
There have been many great apps to stream local media on PC/laptop to chromecast. But what if the PC is not in the same room with your TV?
I have got a laptop upfloor connected to the network with cable (can connect to wifi if necessary), so I don't want to carry it everytime I want to cast something, or going upstairs to pause and resume playback. Is either one of the following scenario achievable?
1. run some kind of server on my laptop so I can access the media using my phone, then I use my phone to cast media(local on laptop) to chromecast.
2. cast the media from laptop with chrome browser, but then use my android phone to do simple playback control, e.g. pause, resume, fast forward the video.
Any chance a combination of server + app can do that?
Check videostream extension for chrome and videostream app to ocntrol playback
Plex is great for this too
There are 999 thousand ways to do this
I prefer using BubbleUPnP. Just google it.
I am using XBMC media server on my pc and Yatse as a remote control for xbmc on my phone. This setup supports among others Chromecast.
