If you want to stream MP3/Video/Pictures/TV from a PC to Mobile then Orb is great. Works over the internet (and HSPDA if your network supports it) while automatically transcoding your files to an appropriate bitrate depending on your connection speed.

You have the same problem like anyone else with the Touch HD.
Most people just dont realize it. I started a topic about this, but got no help with that.

[Q] How to play streaming WMA music content on TouchPro2

I have an XM receiver which I "line in" into my computer and encode the music with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4. The encoder outputs it to a wma stream which I can then access over the Internet on other computers, laptops, etc. using the URL (which points to port 8090).
BUT I CAN'T GET IT TO PLAY ON MY TP2. On the phone, I have tried Windows Media Player, Nitrogen Player, and the phone's Streaming Media Player. Nothing works.
Suggestions welcome.

SPB Radio can stream music as long as you stream it through internet and in .pls format.
You can enter an URL as a new radio station and as long as it has a DNS or an external IP you should be fine. You can use Shoutcast to stream your own music from home (if that's what you want).
Home: Computer running with Winamp and Shoutcast, internet active and external IP.
Your phone: open SPB Radio and type your external IP followed by the port (Example http://81.254.128.68:8000)

[Q] Media Server from Outside of Home Network

How simple is it to allow my phone to view media streamed around my home network, when I'm out and about?
I know how to port forward and I use Serviio. Are there apps better suited to this than others? Can I just use EStrong File Explorer to browse to my home IP and port forward to the drive of my media server?
Any tips welcomed
Have you tried iMediaShare from the Market?
Or Audiogalaxy, also from the market. Requires registration and an app to be installed on your PC, but easy to setup and works like a charm.
I use subsonic, works a dream and a doddle to setup. think there was a license fee (£13) and you can stream or download direct to the phone.
just my 2cents
iMediaShare looks to be sending media from my phone to a TV, which I can do already with Skifta.
AudioGalaxy looks to be music only and it's actually more about video for me.
Subsonic says it does most video formats are supported, so I'll give that a go.
Many thanks everyone
iMediaShare starts a DLNA host/server so it can stream and play media (audio/video) from your media server (via Wi-Fi locally or via 3G). It can also stream youtube and all other listed sources to your DLNA enabled devices.
Well Subsonic didn't seem to be able to play my videos, so I'll try iMediaShare then, thanks.
**EDIT** I've just realised Skifta has a remote access, so I'll give that a go first, as I'm signed up with them already.

[Q] App to remotely access my home server (media)

Hi, I have a Home Server setup that feeds all my media (.avi .mkv .mp3 etc) to all my enabled devices around my home. Now I have a shiny new HoX I am looking for an App that will allow me to remotely connect (while I am away from home) to my server and play what ever media I want. Is there an app that will do this, or a combination of apps ? Thanks in advance
For music subsonic is by far the best solution that I have found. I have heard people have had success with plex as well, so you might want to look into that as well because it supports both music AND videos. Subsonic claims to support movies but I as of yet have not been able to figure out how to get a video to play on the Android client.

Plex. It's the greatest app in the world. Not only can you stream via your home network it allows you to stream over a 2-3MB HSPA connection remotely. To get the most out of it you'll probably have to do some file renaming on the server but it's worth it once you see how your media displays with cover art and descriptions. I use it on my phone, tablet, and all my Google TV's. PlayOn also allows you to access your own media but it's not as sleek as Plex.
Thanks, Ill look into it. If i remember right, my old samsung bluray player had plex in it .....

[Q] Note2 as DLNA Renderer [PS3 Media Server] - Anyone Had Success?

Hi Folks,
I have an Ubuntu Server running the PS3 Media Server (pms-linux) DLNA server.
I have it configured to stream audio/video files out to PS3, iPad (via AirPlayer or GoodPlayer apps). It also happily streamed to my Sony Xperia Arc S via the built in DLNA app there (which pushed the stream to MX Player).
Having moved to the Note2, I hoped to continue to use the functionality, and was happy to see the stock Music/Video players plus AllShare Player all have DLNA functionality, and, indeed, the server shows in the list of local servers.
However upon trying to connect to the server, I get various error messages on the phone. Tailing the logs, I have adjusted the Android.conf file so that it's selected when the Note2 connects, I've also had it so that the same file as the Xperia Arc S uses is selected. Both, however, to no avail. The phone continues to refuse to have anything to do with PS3 Media Server, I can't stream files from it & play them on the phone.
I'm going to go looking around Google Play for other DLNA capable apps, and couple those with MX Player, to see if I have any better luck, but it would be great to be able to ge the stock apps working.
Has anyone else had any luck with this? If so, could you post your .conf file?
Thanks!
Gav.
Skifta
Well... I tried the same thing. But I couldn't. The best option to stream to XMB is with Skifta. It works perfectly for me with videos, photos and music too.
ArkMC
I use ArkMC for near the same case
It has free version with dlna renderer.
Also tried Skifta - nice design but boring usability.
