Hi guys,
I used to get a popup menu to select which app to play video when streaming upnp, I no longer get this popup and it seems like a player has set itself as a default and this app will not play my mp4 files, I've gone though all of my apps and non are set as default.
I'm running Vegan-Tab RC1 Gingerbread. Everything else seems fine.
I installed CleanDefault but still no popup. Can anyone suggest a solution.
UPDATE: I installed ES File Explorer and got the pop-up back, however when I try and play using ES Video Player I'm getting "Sorry The application has stopped unexpectedly, Please try again" I know my server is working ok since I can stream to my phone with no problem, this is only happening on the GTab.
Installed NWS Player and still cannot play video, they are encoded h264, is there a downloadable codec for Android? Anyone?
SOLVED BubbleUPnP to locate the file and Rockplayer Lite together works!

What are you streaming with, what app were you using on your tab when it worked and what app is now trying to open the videos?
In streaming with TVersity

Hey appreciate everyone's help with all the gtab issues. I'm a newbie and also have the Vegan-Tab RC1 Gingerbread installed, but continue to have video playback issues from not only web content, but from usbdisk files as well. Case in point, watching mp4 of Jeff Beck from my usb attached to gtab and plays about 7 minutes then locks up and I have to power down the gtab and reboot. Getting pretty frustrated, but hope someone can direct me to someone who can help. I've read tons and nothing seems to be helping much. Thanks for your time.

Hello everyone,
Im trying the DLNA feature with my PC media player,
It seems to work fine when streaming to my computer,
but when I try the other way around, while loading the "All videos" folder from my PC, it crashes and gives me FC.
Streaming music works, but movies gives FC.
Any idea why? everything else works flawlessly (as much as it can under WIFI b/g...)
Im running cognition 1.51 with speedmod T40
hi guys,
i´ve recently got an tab 10.1 and, of course, one of the first things i tried was streaming from my NAS.
Unfortunately this doesn´t seem to work all that well - no matter how i connect (uPNP or filebrowser), the videos lag like hell. Its a like a really slow dia-show.
On my Nexus 1 (2.3) it works like a charm (using the same apps and of course WIFI)
Has somebody experienced similar behavior?
No problems with my Synology NAS and Dice Player. I use ES file explorer to connect to my folders (smb).
Edit: Back when I used Moboplayer, I think I remember problems with lags unless you force software decoding when streaming movies. You can enable it in the settings.
No problem with my tab and NAS either. I'm using cifs module and mount Nas volume directly or just use upnp protocol and stream movies.
Try to download that movie to your tab and then play it... Would it still lag? If so that this is not a steaming problem but video format/tab player thingy.
And If it would play fine then start looking at network setup.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I have no problem either. My NAS is a qnap 219p

yes, locally they all play without problems - the weird thing is, that it works just fine on my Nexus phone. Using the exact same setup and apps...
i tried it with SMB and uPNP and various videoplayers - they all load up the movie, but the playback is unbearably slow.
The tab is also "fresh out of the box", so no modifications/rooting or anything else that might cause that.
but obviously its not a general honeycomb problem
ok, its a player issue! "Dice" works right away (thanks!) and "MX Video Player" works, if you force "S/W Decoder" in the settings --> smooth playback

can you test your wifi speed? Just time some big file download.
Just as example, using cifs module my transfer speed is about 1.3Mbyte per sec. Ghost commander with build in smb protocol is around 2.0 Mbyte per sec.
Laptop with N wifi goes around 9.0 Mbyte per second.
Can anyone help me on this, my GS2 loses it's default video file association on most reboots, and on a couple of occaisions without rebooting, I use the android video player for videos, which I check to use as default everytime I get the popup, also have quickpic and poweramp installed, poweramp is only in the choice box if it's an mp4, for all other video types it's a choice of video player or quickpic.
I've tried changing the video player apk for a newer version, an updated version of quickpic, and a 101 other things in the past week, and now have no hair left to pull out, this really does have me puzzled.
Obviously Android is losing the setting for some reason, does anyone know of a soloution ? seems completely ridiculous to me that the os can't even remember something as simple as which app to use to open a video file.
Hi all,
I'm stumped here. I tried playing a corrupted mp4 on a cifs share using vplayer. It crashed and now for some reason it crashes when I try to playing any shared file of any format, a few other players crash like mobo player. Everything was working great for over a year. I cleared the cache and even tried re-installing the player but no luck. I also went as far as unsharing the drive an re-sharing it. Still no luck. CIFS still works with es file explorer but it seems anything I try to play crashes right away. What's more is now this happens on both my phone and tablet. Can't figure it out. I'm thinking it's an issue on the PC at this point but not sure what to try. Any help would be great!!!!
Thanks

My vplayer also stopped working in the last couple of days.....had to search another player and ended up using mx player.......no idea what's up with vplayer tho?
I went to Daroon Player ....its free on the market and just as good or better than VPlayer.
I figured it out. My vplayer was sorely out of date, not sure why it wasn't updating. Updated to the latest and it's working great!!
Hi all,
I'm currently running DSC 1.6 and I cannot get plex to run on my Dell Streak.
My plex can connect to the server and play a video with only sound, no video. Has anyone
got a solution for this? Tried DSC 1.5 and LH 2.9.3 no luck.
Thanks
Plex?
I have never been able to get Plex to work on any stock or mod rom on the Streak. Tried all of the suggestions, and nothing has worked. On a stock rom, I would get video once in awhile. I ended up downloading Avia Media Player. It is able to connect to my Plex server and play my media files. The quality isn't great, but it works. The other solution, is to use ES file explorer to navigate to the files, and then play the media in the player of your choice. I like Avia for Plex, because you get the cover art for the media. If you do come across a solution, please post. I have tried Plex on DSC, Longhorn, and the Rogers stock rom, as well as 350, 360, and 407. I have ended up using Longhorn, because it crashes the least. It would be nice to find a rom that was stable, and all the functions worked. Did I mention how much I hate Captcha's. We need to start a movement to ban them.

My mum's stock Samsung Galaxy II works fine, just hoping its an easy fit for the Dell Streak. The best I can do now is using a windows program call "Mezzmo" for DLNA and have the Dell Streak use Bubble UPNP with MX Player since there is a profile already in Mezzmo. The good thing is that it works, and I can play MKV transcoded to my Dell Streak. The downside is I cannot get English subtitles.
I'll be happy to hear other solutions!
