I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running stock image (no root).
I would like to set it up so that I can stream videos from network shares. I have looked at various options so far but none have worked.
ES File Explorer: could not mound any shares.
CifsManager : can't run it because of no root.
Astro file manager with samba module - did not work.
AndSMB - could not mount any shares.
SharesFinder - worked partially. Can access some network shares but not all. Requires entire file to be downloaded to start watching the video.
Any other ideas/suggestions would be most welcome and appreciated.
Thanks,
Osho

This app seems interesting. When it plays from Samba Share, does it require the entire video file to be downloaded first? I could not find any trial version of this app or else I would try it myself.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I am not likely to root (for personal and other reasons) - so cifsmanager and similar solutions requiring root will not work.
I already have something that works using Subsonic app but it requires the server to be transcoding all the files - this is less than idea. So, I am looking for a way to stream video using samba shares that do not require any transcoding.
Thanks,

Care to elaborate?
My understanding with rooting with an unlocked bootloader is that you can "unroot" or go back to stock at any time, where then it would be in the out of the box state.
I read some info on BUZZ Player and it seems some people have had sync issues with SMB. It also seems expensive for a video player app.
Would this app work for you?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.plexapp.android
Allows you to setup Plex Media Server and stream.
Plex will stream movies, video, MP3 from your home computer to your phone, tablet or another over WiFi or the web. I works great on WiFi but can get a little choppiness over the web depending on your connection speed.

I am using this for business purposes also and one business app I have says no support if rooted. Besides, I have a solution for streaming via trans-coding (PlayOn Local Media, Subsonic both works - and I just learned of Plex Server in this thread).
All of these solutions require trans-coding on the server side - which is very compute-intensive. I am trying to figure out a way I can play videos from the samba shares such that:
1. The server does not have to do any trans-coding
2. The entire file does not need to be copied to the tab (typical files for me are between 1.5GB to 3GB)
I could do that without breaking sweat on a laptop (both 720p and 1080p videos) or on the el cheapo netbook (for upto 720p videos). I would like to be able to do the same using Tegra 2 on the tab.
Update: I got both ES File Browser and File Browser HD to connect to the windows share just fine and browse as usual. I did not do anything special to make that happen. It was not working couple of days ago and it worked today.
Thanks,
Osho
Anyone had any luck to stream videos (without downloading or transcoding) from mounted SMB shares?
Thanks,
Osho
I have been toying with something similar. My network router allows the use of a usb drive to be attached for network and internet access. The only program I found that will play the video files is vplayer (trial in market). Now I can stream movies and play music as long as im networked. I have tethering on my Evo so I have a hotspot wherever I go....
the new version of ES File Explorer works GREAT !!
along with the stock touchwizz video player it's all i need.
if it doesnt show the video file icon the tab simply wont read it (even if you transfert it via usb) so it makes it simple to know what can be read or not.
Yes, I had some success with the new ES File Browser as well - nice indeed.
Some of the 720p MKV did not play smoothly for me - maybe after the upgrade to touchwiz it will play better.
Anyone know of a good video player that can take advantage of Tegra2 720p/1080p decoding that works well on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Thanks,
Osho

My primary phone is a Galaxy S and I'm in love with the Allshare app and haven't been able to find any comparable apps in the market.
I've (unsuccessfully) tried to install Allshare on the NC, so that's not an option as far as I know.
I'd likely something a bit like VLC Stream and Convert but for DLNA or UPnP.

It's an app similar to Apple's Airplay which lets you stream videos/music/pictures from your PC to your Android device.
The new gmote is awesome for that. I've being using it for the past couple of days. And the setup is simple
Nook Color via Xda App
subsonic does similar; it's supposed to also stream video but I had problems with the resulting flash. Audio is fine.
Allshare is a DLNA client and I think also a DLNA server. I haven't been able to find a good solution to replace this on my Nook Color. It works great on my Samsung Epic 4g streaming video.

funny thing: samsung tv's ask if you want to display the content, and sony's dont, security issue imo for people who have open networks as i can throw anything up on your tv that i want
Twonky Mobile is a DLNA streaming app for android. You can use it as a source or a client.
Twonky Server would also work if you only want to host content on the nook.

Yea, I have no idea. Only dug it up by accident going to Twonky's site trying to stream stuff from my mac to PS3.
I haven't tried it on a nook but AndroMote works great to push the content from a server (twonky) to a DLNA device. It's a lot like AllShare just doesn't serve up it's own content.
Check out iMediaShare, too.
I just received my got tablet via the woot deal. Have installed vegan, and all is well. One thing I cannot figure out is, how can I stream videos stored on a shared network drive to my g tablet? I have windows 7 on the pc. I can see the files using File Expert, but they will not stream. It seems like this should be a pretty straight forward task, but so far I have not found the right app. 90% of the files I would like to play are in .avi format. I have tried several media players, and none I have tried give me an option to view files on my network. Thanks for any tips!
Try playon. Bonus is it would alllow you to stream them from anywhere.
Bad part is the quality won't be as good as natively playing the file..
-m
I like qloud. It's free and allows playing across the Internet as well as across a local network.
http://www.playon.tv/playon
Thanks for the suggestions.
I actually already have Playon, and use it to stream Hulu & Netflix content. I did not see an option to stream files I have stored locally on my network though. I'm at work, so cannot check it out now, but I will look for this option when I get home.
I will look into Qloud also.
I too would like to stream media from my network shares. Idc about HD content so much, but being able to watch stuff on the tab when I'm not at my desk would be nice.
Is there a way to do this without putting a media server program on the computer end of things?
Free version of TVersity Media Server (from tversity.com) along with free MoBo player from android market do the job well. For some reason, sound volume is low.
You can use network shares using CIFS. Look for CIFSManager in the market.
It's a little cumbersome to setup if you aren't very familiar with networking, but very doable.
You will need a kernel that supports CIFS (Vegan 5.11 might - can't remember). Latest TNTL (4.4) does, but will likely not in the future. The stock kernel does not.
You can look in the dev section for Clemsyns and Pershoot's kernels. Note that Pershoot uses a modular approach, so you have to follow the instructions on downloading and adding the CIFS module. Clemsyn's should 'Flash and Play'
As for media player, I had trouble playing mpg's. I used Rockplayer Lite from the market and it was able to play them

Other than the CIFS route, I think every other solution requires something on the 'server' end. I have a Windows XP VM set up on my mythtv box for this purpose.
Here's a list of what I've tried:
Zumocast (works great on gf's iPhone, unfortunately no Android client yet, may work in a browser with flash, I couldn't get it with stock AOSP browser though)
Orb Live (couldn't get it to work)
AndrOrb (uses same Orb server, had mixed results)
PlayOn (works great for Amazon Prime, but had mixed results with local media. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't, although it is beta)
The following use VLC as a backend, so all have the same problem for me which is most of my mkv's are garbled (odd, since they play fine on the desktop):
VLC Direct
VLC Stream and Convert
Androstream (seems the best of the 3 as far as interface/reliability)
For this platform, I've been disappointed at android's ability (or inability) to reliably stream video (I wish audiogalaxy did video, that works PERFECTLY), yet the iOS platform has it working perfectly (even without RTSP support), not that I'm knocking Apple (not a fan either), it just seems their stuff "just works".
Sorry for the delay on the update. I first setup playon to steam from my local network, it worked well, but I hated the file navigation.
Next I tried qloud, installed the server on my pc and was up and running in minutes. It is extremely simple and works pretty well. I do get some occasional pixelation on sd video, but its not to bad, didn't even try hd because I'm sure the results wouldn't be good. Thanks for the tips.
Definitely QLOUD is the way to go.
setup is quick, and the video playback is good, everything is in sync.
i love the XDA community
Try plex, although it's not free and you need to set up a server

It works perfect to mount all your network shares as local on your tab. The tab then treats all shared files as if they were on the tab. This includes streaming movies, audio, and ebooks, viewing pictures and editing docs. Apks stored on the network install as well. Works with VPN as well to have (slow) access from anywhere to home network.
Edit:sp
so I did a google search on cifs and got a lot of tech heavy results. Any chance threw is a setting up cifs for dummies web sure some one could share?

I am fairly new to all this, and i got it working without any problems. I am running TNT Lite 4.4. I assume you know about windows sharing and how to enable it on your other computer. Also you need to be rooted on the gtab.
1. Install cifsmanager from market.
2. Bring up cifsmanager and Settings -> "Add New Share". You will have to have to give superuser permission to cifsmanager when it asks for it.
3. Fill in the new share details. The first entry should look like
192.168.1.160/Movies where 192.168.1.160 is the LAN ip of your windows computer, and Movies is the name of the windows file share on it. It will automatically fill up the mount point to be /mnt/cifs/Movies.
4. Fill in username password for the windows machine. Leave options empty.
5. Save share, and you will see an entry inside cifsmanager.
The above steps need to be done just once per share.
6. Click on the share entry and it will try to mount it. If it succeeds the button on the right turns green. Long press will bring up a menu with "Unmount" on it when u want to unmount.
Now you can access /mnt/cifs/Movies. I like ES File Explorer (free from the market) instead of iFileManager to browse files as it lets me play movie files on a player of my choice. I use RockPlayer Lite as a player.
Caveats: I read somewhere that with the stock launcher you have one shot of correctly entering the share details. If you use Launcher Pro this is not a problem. Note that there is not transcoding going on on the windows side. So if you are on slow wifi you might see stalls.
And you can get to any files, not just movies.
hope this helps

Most cifs programs require the gtab to buffer the entire video before it will play any large .avi files.
I have been using Gmote on my gtab with vegan 5.1.1 now for 2 months with no problems at all. It says it doesn't work with avi files but I've never had a problem with them.

Username and password for the admin account on the windows machine? I don't have a password set up as it is a HTPC with all of our moveis and recorded TV. I keep getting that the mount has failed due to I/O error.
Or is it looking for the password to enter the family group?
BTW, thanks for the walk through. I always hated dealing with this kind of Windows BS but glad Windows has this ability.

.. Of the user owning the share, in your case the admin account.
Check if it works if you set a admin password on your HTPC (and Cifsmanager). Maybe there is a CifsManager limitation on empty passwords.
There are ways I think to auto login into a machine with a password, in case you don't want to type a password out of sleep and/or reboot.

Hi All,
Had the tab for about 2 weeks now - have owned Android phones for 3 years.
I was looking for a good way to stream stuff from my media server (running Windows) but then remembered that XBMC can be a UPnP server - I also have a Linux XBMC box.
So - downloaded UpnPlay from the market and am using Moboplayer to view locally - and it works great!
But the real extra bonus is using the Tab as a remote control for XBMC! You can select whether your playlist runs on the Tablet or on the XBMC box - makes it really easy to build playlists and mess around with them.
Anyway - if you already have an XBMC box - definitely give it a try!

You can also do this with GMote (search in Market; I'm not trustworthy enough to post links, apparently).

It is actually really simple. In XBMC, go to settings/network. Enable UPnP (I believe it is the first choice ) and that's it for the computer. Install upnplay and moboplayer in the tab and you're good to go. When you run upnplay, you should see your media server right away. Mind you, the interface is really clunky and I can't seem to pick the correct movie on the first try (it chooses one item below when you first choose, but then seems to work OK), but currently it is the best solution to streaming from XBMC.
How well does it stream MKV files to the tab?
I've been using PS3 Media Server and it works well with most file types, but struggles with MKV.

Doesn't really come into play i don't think. It is not doing any encoding or anything - just serving the file. So it will play as well as Moboplayer and your WiFi speed allow. No better, no worse.

hey all, great to hear that you got it working through xbmc and ps3. I have a slightly different setup. I am using my PC. the upnplay program on my tab does detect my comp and the files but unfortunately unable to play them. Do you know what could be the problem? Funny is, when i transfer the same file onto my tab, i can play using mobo perfectly without any problems.
the only files that the upnplay detects without a problem are those i have recorded using my phone. It's quite weird though. Is it the program ( upnplay ) that is not working properly?
Here are some great alternatives to netflix for your touchpad.
Hulu , works great but you may need to patch your browser to make it work.
epctv.com , watch live online tv, I watch CNN live on here.
crackle.com , they have a big selection of movies. Its not netflix but hay its free.
zinc.tv , you really should check this out. Online media center for your touchpad. Watch all kinds of shows for free with a great interface.
Epixhd.com - Great alternative to Netflix.
some of these sites may not work with ad blocker installed.
if anyone can think of others, please share.
tv.blinkx.com
and
sidereel.com
they host LINKS to sites that host the episodes so as far as I know (I could easily be wrong) it's legal.
If you have a hbo subscription wwwhbogo.com.
EPIXHD.COM works great on the TP. Just watched The Captains on it in HD.
thanks for the links!

Netflix is not currently available for WebOS devices. The forum at slickdeals suggests to reply to @Netflixhelps on Twitter and request an official release of the Netflix streaming app for WebOS.
Hulu is also not currently available for WebOS devices. There is a workaround I found posted, but that I personally have not tried. I will edit this post after I try it to let you know how it goes. Google "prewarewebosbuzz Hulu". First result.
You can stream video content from your PC to Touchpad by using Tversity. From slickdeals:
1. Install Tversity media server on your laptop/desktop.
2. After installation, add the files you want to view on the library tab. To add an avi file, go to Library, File system, Files and click add item on top.
3. Open cmd prompt on your computer, and type "ipconfig" There you should find your IP address. Note this down.
4.On your touchpad, open a web browser, then type in :41952/flashlib after your IP address. For example, h t t p : // 192.168.1.0 :41952/flashlib
There you should be able to browse your folders to find the video you are looking for. One problem is that you can't rewind/forward etc.
Again Slickdeals:
Amazon Video On Demand/Prime Videos works runs rather well. Audio holds up well but you might need to use the pop out function on the player over full screen to get it to fill the screen. It might lag when first starting it up but pausing and allowing it to buffer will allow it to self correct.

Give it a go, you might just need to reboot the phone after install tho for the app to actually take in account whatever is available in your WindowsMediaPlayer library & If I recollect correctly, i had to do that before being able to use see my media files through the app. Hope this heleped and if it did please hit the thx button

Hello, I have several questions:
What do you use as a server on your PC?
And how is it going with HiDefinition video, is it plays good?

Hey letrouble, only saw your message today...
Anyways bout your two questions, for this app to work, like said previously you won't need anything setupwise, windows media player is the "server" so you only need to add your files to its library, install the app on your device, reboot it and that's pretty much it...
Concerning your second question, yes, HiDef files run flawlessly with it, on devices that actually support such a definition of course, ie galaxy S3 and many others... tried on my old galaxy tab P1000, they will load but the framerate will not be high enough to take pleasure in watching your content...
Hope that helped & hope all of u guys had a good Xmass and will have an even better NYE
UPnPlay and BubbleUPnP work great
