Hello there, I'm wondering if there's a way to stream my multimedia content from my PC to my Note.
I don't really like using Dropbox or other online storage services.
Is there a way to directly stream?
Thanks.

Just share the folder on your network then access it using es file explorer or some other explorer that allows lan file discovery
If you want to actually stream the content, not just make it appear in es explorer and such, look into upnp/dlna.

Tversity always works great. Moboplayer(play store free) will stream if the phone doesnt do it by default.

Try remote media center (play store). You can access your content while on your home wifi and also over the mobile data network. It is used along with remote potato server that you install on your pc. This setup works flawlessly for me.

I believe Plex also allows. Access outside the home does it not? But one would assume that using streaming in that matter outside the home must devour your data.

Anyone know if there is an app out there that let's me remotely (from another computer) activate my phone camera or camcorder and have it stream the vid or camera shot to the computer I'm accessing the phone on????
Like....set the phone up for remote security or spying...etc....and access the live stream from another computer......the catch is I have to be able to turn on the video/viewing remotely........
Over the network or WiFi would be sweet in case the phone was stolen you could also see where it was and who stole it????
Thanks guys!!!

Found one. Works flawlessly....free too.
Droidvncserver - for droid (free in the market)
Use in conjunction with tightvnc viewer - on your pc (free from tightvnc.com)

IP Webcam works too. I tried it out last week. Might be more what you are looking for.
Actually the app needs to be started first. Or you could start it with droid vnc and then view the stream in a web browser or vlc.

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.

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...

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

I use ES File Explorer and then mx player to stream from my nas. as for WAN, im not sure

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.

So my basic problem is that I have a lot of media on my home desktop. It's a home built machine that has no sounds and runs windows xp
I have no problem streaming video over wifi. Everything works absolutely fine that way.
What I want to know is how to open media that's on my computer from a remote location (using a separate wifi network)
I'm currently using team viewer for remote access and it works for many things but it doesn't allow me to stream video to my phone. It allows me to play video on my computer and to view it but this is useless without sound
I'm considering trying to make a vpn but I'm not very computer literate.
Any suggestions?

No such thing has been done yet to my understanding, you can only stream over a WI-FI network so far

I think I might have found a solution and I feel sort of like an idiot. I'll test it out tonight and see if it works.

splashtop remote transmits sound
I'm trying the emit app it seems to work but I'll have to try it at work. As I said I feel dumb finding this a few hours after posting
I do seem to experience a lot of lag on videos so I guess that's my next problem to fix.

Emit works fine over the net (both on my own wifi and using my cell phones Ltd or other computers on different networks)
However lag when using it over cell broadcast is pretty bad and I'm trying to find a way to improve it

Hello all, I have recently been trying to stream media to my note 2 via some sort of cloud storage. I have been looking for a way to use my phone to play movies I have stored on Cloud Data such as Dropbox. Dropbox does not allow you to stream data past a certain size so I cannot play any file that is longer than a couple minutes. I would like to stream this data to both my note 2 as well as Transformer infinity. Can anybody help me with a cloud storage that supports streaming? Or even better perhaps an app that will allow me to stream this data.

I use Plex. I know it's not cloud storage, but it works too well not to mention. You install Plex on your PC and point to your videos, music or photos. Then install Plex on your phone and you can now stream everything. Clean user interface and great support.
Will try it thanks!

also i use bubble upnphttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
quote from their description.. "UPnP Media Server: play your local phone/tablet media to other devices or to your Android device (standalone media player). Browse and play your local phone/tablet media from other devices (PS3, WMP, ...). Able to browse the SD Card. Google Music and Dropbox streaming supported"
Avia supports streaming directly from dropbox, although admittedly I haven't uploaded and entire movies just home videos. Also RealPlayer Cloud and Google Photos will let you stream. I have been using google photos and with the new pricing plan you can get all your movies on the cloud pretty cheap. The best way in my opinion is to hook up a hard drive to your router and stream from there using any UPnP app.
