I bought a NSA (Zyxel NSA310) and works fine with Windows etc, but how would I go about mounting the NSA drive using Android,
-NOTE- I will not root the device
Was wondering if someone can provide me a detailed guide or something, thanks.

Don't know how to mount it, but you can use an FTP client for the files and a DLNA player for the media streaming

What would be the best ftp client and streaming would I need the ip or can it find the drive on the network

all comes down to preference. need an ip for the ftp, and it will find the dlna server automatically

Using mediahouse works a treat thanks man

No problem with ps3. Download iMediaShare for Free from the market. Stream all you want to with that.

I've been looking for awhile but I can't figure how I can connect my tablet to my ReadyNAS so I can stream.. DicePlayer seems to be the player I want, but howvdo I connect remotely?

Port forward 32400 to computer ip. Set static internal ip to computer and port forwarding on your router. When external point plex towards public ip. You can find your public ip by going to www.whatsmyip.org.

I simply use UPnPlay to browse the files on my ReadyNAS Duo, then I select Dice Player to play the file.
Flawless streaming B-)

That works too but I'd feather plex transcode my file instead of having to handpick or manually prepares file. Plex will do it all for me even out of home.

Team viewer worked great on my nook color for controlling my PC from anywhere. Just had to set it up on both the PC and nook. Easy and free in the market.
Never tried it on the tab though.

It gave me total control of my PC.... Showed my screen almost like remote desktop. Freaked the kids out when I took control of the mouse from anywhere. lol
Edit: Just noticed you wanted to stream some TV shows. Don't know if that would be clunky or not.

Not sure if it would depend on the connection speed or more the capabilities of the app itself. I shall give it a try tonight. Much appreciated mate and looking forward to freaking out the wife haha

The only problem is using Teamviewer you would need to set a prefixed password and username on it as it generates random per session so would be best. Also it needs to be on, closing teamviewer on your PC means you cut off the communication. Also it doesn't require a high end internet as teamviewer by default drops the quality and turns off wallpaper's and such per connection to enhance speed to navigate vs graphics.

That's fine my PC is on 24/7 anyway so that wouldn't be a problem.. if it sacrifices graphics for speed do you think maybe its not gonna be suitable for what I need it for?

Think you can set a password to use all the time in options, but it's been awhile since using. So could be wrong, but never remember having a random password. But yes I do remember having to have the PC on, but believe I could still wake it.
Again, I've not used my nook color for some time with this. So give an old man a break if I'm wrong.

i use splashtop which basically works like windows remote desktop - you can see and interact with your home pc like you were in front of it - great for playing back videos as well

Server runs on Linux, Mac or PC. I have a Linux server running so I can't tell you how good the Windows port is.
I have never used it for an outward facing connection though it is designed to work that way. I have it running on my old Dinc, Kindle Fire and the G-Tab. Video streaming works very well.

In my opinon it is all about the bandwidth. Some (HD) Movies need up to several megabit per second...
A solution is to use a VPN connection to the home network and a UPnP-AV server/client.
I use Twonky and BubbleUPnP, but only in my LAN. With a VPN and sufficient bandwith on the connection this would do the job over the internet, too.

With a little planning you could upload the video files that you want to be able to access to Dropbox, Minus or whatever Google offers that is similar. Then all you would have to do is access the files from your tab. If you have enough bandwidth for video, it should work great.
Check it out and let us know if my idea works for your needs.

Never thought about cloud.. like u say though forward planning would be needed and I'd have to upload everything that I'd want to watch each time before I go anywhere. Nice idea though

I have had cerberus installed on my PC for a long time, it allows you to use your PC as an FTP server.
This way you can have access to your chosen files anywhere with the internet. On your mobile most file explorers have a FTP option to move files to or from the PC.
Its handy to have access to all your music, or maybe use it the other way to backup your photos ect when away from home for a extended period.
you could also stream over FTP if your file explorer allows you to map the FTP server as a local drive

DLNA w/o Media Link

Does anybody know how use the dnla without the media link?

Download airsync and doublethink. Good apps. All via WiFi. It turns your device into a media server.

So I am still interested in people's opinion on this topic. I am thinking about getting a Media Link HD but I feel like I would be stupid to buy one. It seems to me like I have a phone with DLNA and a PS3 & LG BD390 that both have DLNA so why do I need another box?
Can anyone give me an idea how we could make the PS3 work like the Media Link HD? Thanks!
Does anyone know of an app that lets you stream from a DLNA device and program such as PS3 Media Server?
-^ i would like to know too. when i turn on my media share, the ps3 recognizes it, but when i open the folders there is nothing there.

When you're on it try hitting triangle and I think it might say display all or something like that.

I have a netgear router that comes with an app called netgear genie streams everything perfect the only thing it does not do is mirror the phone. A neat feature but not worth $75 to me to buy Media Link HD.

(Solved)Phone to phone transfers?

Whats the best method you transfer files amongst two android devices one obviously is this gs3 the other is the samsung epic 4g not rooted so no wifi direct or nfc. Im currently using es file explorer through bluetooth which is okay. With the pc's to look at the Phone im using the es file ftp server with a ftp start shortcut on the home screen. I did see a samba file sharing app but that ony works for me being rooted. Im trying for a uniform approach between both devices and pc's. Is anyone capable of using es file ftp on one phone and seeing it on another phone? Or is there a better smb client?

If you use estrongs on both phones then enable the built in ftp server and use a username and password you will be able to input phones ftp info into opposite phone estrongs and will be able to transfer files between phones and pc's using those ftp's
