Media server app

Is there an app that can stream videos from my media server?
If you mean to your phone try bubble upnp in the market. Streams from your computer.

Try Tversity!
I have been using Tversity for years to stream my media(Music/Pix/Vids) to various devices, haven't used it on my phone though. I have also heard some people like Plex, but I didn't like it. Let me know if you have Tversity questions though

Looking for a good Media app for network streaming

I have a linksys e4200 with a HDD connected by USB on it, i have a network set up so that apple tvs and other media devices can stream from it, but i have not yet found a good app that can do it on my GS3. I don't care if it's a paid app, i just want a solid nice looking streaming app.
You tried Plex?

That's odd... I have a linsksys router with NAS capabilities via a usb and through imediashare I clicked on home network and showed my router no problem and if i wanted I easily pushed the stuff to my tv

Go for Wondershare. It's free, and works great for NAS as well as http/mms streams from online.

I found BSPlayer free...wow finally a good app, just entered my routers default ip and voila, streaming 1080p mkv videos with 0 lag
Plex is your answer. whatever you are using now, scrap it. plex has clients for pc, mac, linux, android/google tv, ios, roku, ect. it handles media shares through other plex servers and DLNA. trust us, you will thank us.

Scrap everything..... use TVMobili... its perfect NON-Java based. Plays Mkv without transcoding straight from my NAS to my Samsung TV, I use BubbleUpnp as the app on my phone to control it all...

So cool to see that 3 years ago the app I am using also worked for someone. I adore ArkMC cause it has all features I need. It is compatible with PS3, PS4, Xbox360, Xbox One, HD TVs, what is really important for me as I like to stream my music to my PS4 when having a party. Secondly, it supports Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound what not many streaming apps have. And finally, all media formats are ready to use without conversion.

streaming media via LAN help question

i have a NAS device (dns 320 sharecenter)
is there an app where i can watch my media from my android phone from my NAS?
also it will be awsome if i can do it also in WAN
I think Plex might be what you are looking for... Or Bubbleupnp

i think plex needs a also plex installed in my computer... if my computer is off it wont stream media to the phone. i like it like from my NAS to phone. where i like just to browse the NAS library and play it from my phone. i think bubbleupnp is the same as plex
Depends on the NAS I guess. How would you browse it from a remote pc?
You will need to configure port forwarding on your router at the very least. It may have some flash based streaming service built in, in which case you will need to side load the flash apk.
Havent tried it yet coz even tho I know how to port forward and stuff, I still dnt kno what to do on the phone side to or outside my network to view the files

Please provide the model/make of your NAS.
Can you connect to your NAS using its IP address in your browser? There may be a flash player option there. If so, just port forward port 80 to your NAS and connect to your network IP (whatismyip.com) from your mobile browser.
If your nas have upnp function, then use skifta + diceplayer (and ffmpeg plugin, useful for DTS tracks).

I settled with es file explorer... I played around with it yesterday. Interface is not that beautiful but all the things I need it delivers
I can navigate to my nas on lan with a read and write permission
And also setup my nas as an ftp server so now I can watch my movies away from home.
