Movie streaming app? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I went to best buy to test out the tab and I was looking for some movie streaming apps and couldnt find any like the ones I have on my phone? Can this not stream any movies yet?

If u mean that u want to stream a movie from a PC, then i recommend Gmote 2. Really it's the best app for streaming music or videos from your PC.

HBO Go please! I'll be dancing for joy when an app is compatible with HC

tv show stream is good too

Plex is what you want. Direct transcoding from PC to tablet. Max is only 5000mbps bitrate but still very nice.

unfortunately tv show stream and movie stream were pulled from the market and arent being supported anymore but I have the APKs and tried them on my tab but when I try to open the links it says I need Xvid. I thought xvid was supported by the tab?

Amazon Prime works for streaming movies and whatever else they offer. I've only dabbled there, but the first 10 minutes of Highlander came through great on the tab.

HBOGO works via the webpage and HULU also works if your rooted and install the required file.

Netflix app supported at all?

TV shows stream works fine on mine.. glad I kept a backup of the apk. Not so lucky on movies stream unfortunately, so I can't test it out.
I didn't think either were reliant on the decoding capabilities of the device, since it plays in the browser, but I've always had mobo player installed. Maybe try that?

+1000 for this. since getting my android phone, I have tried various methods for streaming from my home server. my buddy has the air media for his icrap which made me search even harder for a solution on my tablet. plex super easy to setup, I had an issue with port forward but that was because my router and UPnP would not let go of the port to enable the port forwarding.
all around great app for streaming.

Thank you, Plex works pretty well. My new 10.1 just became a hundred times more awesome. I've been using Sagetv dvr and have recorded a lot of tv shows. Now I can stream them to my Galaxy tab, cool.

I looked at it in the market and it says stream music nothing about video. Am I blind?

Also can anyone compare this to playon? Mainly the ability to rewind or fast forward the stream because playon can't do this and according to playons admins on their forum android is not capible or some crap which I'm sure is not true because Netflix and YouTube can manage to do it.

thanks man I had mobo but never actually opened it up. Your post made me look into it again and when I opened mobo it downloded the codec needed. Nice! now movie stream and tv stream work great. Too bad its unsupported for updates anymore.
Loved these aps and with a mega video login I was golden.

For streaming your own stuff:
UpnPlay app to stream Video and a videoplayer app for playback.
Firgured out I can attach a HDD to my router and fire up a router mediaserver - accessible from everywhere. But beware, your Server/Router MUST support video streaming else it's a no go. And don't forget to turn upnp on.
You can also use Twonky as a server tool for windows/linux.
For 720p you don't need a speedy WLAN, 2mb/s are enough. For 1080p it's ~3-3,5mb/s. So every NAS capable router should do it.

[Q] Can someone recommend a good VLC streaming app?

I want to stream AVI files from my computer to my Nook. GMote doesn't work with AVI. I downloaded VLC Stream and Convert. I fired it up, pointed it at my desktop and it just worked. I was very impressed with it except that it streams all my videos in 4" X 4". I'm sure this would be great on a phone, but I've got 7" to work with here.
Does anyone know of an app that will reliably stream media in full screen? I'm willing to pay for an app that does this. I just need to stream over wifi when I'm at home.
I use CifsManager to mount windows shares, and then RockPlayer Lite to play videos off those shares. It will stretch to full screen, but unless you format the video correctly it's stuck with software decoding.
GMote plays AVI for me, do you have rockplayer?
No Rockplayer. I don't want to have to mount shares. It's an extra step. VLC Stream and Convert works perfectly except it's small screen. I open the app, click on browse, browse to the file I want to play and click play. It buffers and plays with no issues except for the screen size.
There's no extra steps, you browse to the avi you want to play in gmote, click it and rockplayer opens it.
I tested out the GMote Rockplayer combo you all suggested. It worked very well, except I can't seem to fast forward and skip around inside of videos. Is this something I"m doing wrong or is it a limitation of this solution?

I think it may be a limitation. If there's a fix, I don't know it. Rockplayer by itself allows skipping around but youve got it streaming the video through GMote and I doubt that Rockplayer is communicating to GMote.
I got this to work with VLC Stream and Convert. There are options buried in the menu to make the output full screen. I love it. I have to start VLC on my computer ahead of time which is kind of a pain, but I'm at home anyway when I'm doing this. Once I do though, I can stream any of my media and also fast forward, rewind and skip around in it whether in portrait or landscape. Highly recommend this.
I was hoping to provide a solution using orb or Androrb, but I tried with mplayer, rockplayer, and stock player with no luck.
Gmote/rockplayer works for me, but no ff as mentioned. If the v player dev could support the nc it may have potential.
To the above poster, you could use teamviewer to log in to your pc and start the vlc stream.

I suspect that Gmote/Rockplayer doesn't have FF because it's not accessing the stream directly. Gmote is accessing the stream and forwarding it to Rockplayer. I'm in my house when I'm using my NC and I have a VLC shortcut on my toolbar so it doesn't take but a second to start it. I could probably configure VLC to start the web interface part automatically when Windows starts, but I'm too lazy to look into that right now.

Does this require you to be on the same network as Said PC for it to work, ie, can I stream Video from home PC when I am in another area, like the mall, or your moms house?

VLC convert and stream allows this, yes.
vlc stream and convert works fine, you just have to mess with the settings, make sure video playback width is set to 1040 or screen width
When I try to use S&C on my Nook (CM7), it tells me "buffering" for about a minute, then tells me it can't play, too many errors. Installed it on my Inspire HD and it works great. Any ideas, anyone?

I tried the same thing, works great in rooted Eclair but not in any of the CM7 versions. I think it is because there is no DSP working in CM7, but I could be wrong.

Media Streaming

I am looking for an app that lets you stream media through xbox 360.
Have tried Imediashare, Twonky, and Media Server. Xbox cannot see the phone as a media server.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is the Rezound just not capable of sharing media. I know FoxFi
won't work with HTC phones. Maybe none of the media sharing apps work either.
Would love to find a thread or video with how to stream to the xbox.
Found several showing how to connect to PS3 but not xbox.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Well start fresh
Wipe twonky app data
Start app
Select what u want to stream
Music movies photos
Then wait for it to scan directories
Then go to Xbox go to whatever type of media that u r streaming
It should show up where your computer would show
If u don't understand this
I can try and make a tutorial video later

I know double twist does it but I never used it. I just have seen that it has the option to do so.

Ok. Got Twonky to work. I guess wiping the data and restarting was the key.
Works great!
But now I am having another issue. It will only play mp4, and divx videos. Won't play
videos that I recorded on the phone. Nor will it play avi files.

install on your computer, but none on xbox.

The xbox only plays mp4, divx in avi, WMV, and I think mpeg.
Unless the app on the phone transcodes which I don't think they do becuse of the power it takes, you need to use the formats the xbox supports.
Ok. Got it!
So just to be clear....There is no codec pack or anything that needs to be installed?
I just have to make sure that all the videos that I want to stream are mp4, wmv, or divx.
Thanks everyone for all the help. Great community here.

Upnp/dlna Android app capable of streaming mkv

Hi all, would of put this in android general but can't seem to see it :-\
Anyway, I'm looking for the above, a uonp/dlna compatible app that is capable of streaming mkvs to a ps3.i can play them on my phone via mx player and the like but when it comes to streaming it fails, unsupported or corrupted data shows in the ps3 whenni know for a fact it can stream Mkvs. I have tried airsyncs airplay option, skifta and joses media server and none seem to work, anyone any ideas or other options I can try?
I'm running ParanoidAndroid and Siyah/twrp if that's any help.
Thanks in advance
And mods if there is a general android section and I've missed it feel free to move this

hey had this problem a while back, after a lot of experimenting with different apps, it turns out none of the apps could successfully "beam" a mkv file, even if both the phone and xbox can support the file.
The workaround that i finally got to was to host a media server from the phone, and access the mkv file via the server. APP: Pixel-DMS.
Works great on my xbox !! should work on the ps3 as well
BubbleUPnP might.

Im looking for something that works the opposite actually, Does anyone know of an app that will allow streaming from a pc to my galaxys3?
I used to use allshare when i was running official samsung rom, but now i use Paranoid android and unfortunately cannot use it anymore.
I use a program called ps3 media server, which allows any content even MKV files to be streamed, ps3 media server is veiwable on ps3, xbox 360 and i could see it and use it on allshare.
now all i need is an app to allow me to pick up this media server on my paranoid setup.
any suggestions? thanks. :fingers-crossed:
I use PS3MediaServer in conjunction with Serviio to steam to my Xbox and phone.
1. Download PS3MS and Serviio on PC
2. Stream to gaming console. For streaming to android, download Skifta or ServiGo on Play. You can manage your Serviio console from your droid using ServiiDroid.
MKV works flawlessly.

I had an issue - I was not able to "Play-to" and to share MKV files!
I have tried just siple renaming MKV to AVI, after this trick it was possible to use "Play-to" to send file to my TV. And it played back well.
Maybe this would work for you.

I installed Bubble UPnP - PS3 can see it, but everytime I want to go to some videos, pictures or music, PS3 is giving 2101 DLNA Error (can´t even see the list of my multimedia)
PS3 is on the newest offcial ROM and router is D´Link Dir-600 - if that´s matter.

PS3 is not able to play MKV natively without transcoding. You must use a transcoding server like PS3 Media Server, Serviio, etc.
Odp: Upnp/dlna Android app capable of streaming mkv
Yes i know, i am using media serwer on my laptop and i stream mkv files, however when i stream movies, my laptop is over heating and shut down (is hot as hell) after an hour or so. Laptop is dual core 1.6 and the thermal paste on cpu is probably out. So i wanted to stream those movies via note 2. I thought there was an application with internal transcoding possibility like it's in media share on pc. So is it possible or not?

Did anyone have a fix for this? The Note 2 ought to be able to do this.
Wondering if anyone found a way to transcode mkvs from a phone to be played on a ps3.

What is the best DLNA app for Nook Tablet?

This is my SECOND week experiencing android. I have a Samsung TV and I couldn't live without AllShare. I also have an iPad and I couldn't live without AirVideo either.
Unfortunately, they do not make AirVideo for Android. I have tried Emit, Qloud, BubbleUPnP, and two different VLC streaming apps and all of them were choppy. I have tried with a 5 GB video file and with a 700 MB video file and its still choppy. Did anyone have luck with any of these apps or with another DLNA app?
If anyone can tell me how to get AllShare working on my CM10.0 Nook Tablet, that would be perfect.
By the way, Netflix works just fine.
Try using Skifta and MXPlayer that works well for me.
Plex makes an Android version, but I'm pretty sure you have to have the Plex Media Server on your computer as well (easy enough to set up). I use that with my Roku, and can use it with both of my Xbox 360s; but I've never tried the Android app.
+1 MxPlayer. I use ES root explorer to browse the network, select a file and play it with MX. almost never choppy on 700mb files. Or even 1.4. Haven't really tried higher though.
Thanks
Thanks,
I will try skifta and plex

what are you trying to do?
if you are trying to play files on your computer streamed to your nook.
es file explorer or vlc and windows smb file sharing works fine as suggested without extra steps.
or perhaps installing a dnla software server on your pc like tversity and using a dnla compatible client like xbmc for android.
if you trying to share media files from your nook to your tv via dnla then imediashare sounds about right. I
there is also orb server (x86) free and orb client for android. (not free)

Background video-streaming via AllShare

Hello Community!
I use video-streaming via AllShare to my Samsung TV. It works just great. Atm i am using the AllShare Cast Dongle by Samsung.
The problem is while streaming i can't use my mobile because the videoplayer for example has to be in the foreground. As soon as I switch to another program like Taptu the video stops streaming.
Is there a possibility to use video-streaming in the background just as the musicplayer does? Because while streaming music I can use my mobile as I want.
Thanks for any help.
MX Player supports Background Play for videos. But for audio only :/
Nope there isn't as far as I know. I also got the Dongle and it mirrors the screen 1:1.
Maybe it would work if you pop out the video and use it as overlay, but not sure.

Thank you. Tried this alrdy but this feature isn't available whole streaming. This feature would be just a great thing.
AllShare Cast is for mirroring your phone screen so use it for playing games or browsing internet.....
AllShare Play is for streaming audio/video/pictures to your TV. Phone can be used as normal in the meantime.

Yeah, thank you, but AllShare Play is an online service. I have to register an online storage and a PC first. That's not what I want.
And I don't want to share my movies with dropbox or Samsung. Or did I totally misunderstood something?

Yeah, thank you, but AllShare Play is an online service. I have to register an online storage and a PC first. That's not what I want.
And I don't want to share my movies with dropbox or Samsung. Or did I totally misunderstood something?

I think you understood right. The Dongle supports only AllShare Cast and not AllShare Play, hence it won't work that way anyway if I am not wrong.

AllShare Cast is for mirroring your phone screen so use it for playing games or browsing internet.....
AllShare Play is for streaming audio/video/pictures to your TV. Phone can be used as normal in the meantime.

From your post I understand that whilst streaming video to tv I can use my phone/tablet as normal.
I have tried this numerous times but as soon as i try to switch from allshare play it closes.
Could you explain how to get this feature working.
I am using samsung galaxy note and samsung galaxy tab 2 7inch, both have the same issue.
Thanks
