My wifi is behind a university http proxy. I have modified the wifi connection in my Galaxy Nexus (4.2.1) to use the appropriate proxy settings.
Now, browser and most apps work fine, but there is a problem with the all apps which stream video or audio. For instance, in Youtube application, I can search for videos, see comments, but the videos don't stream. The streaming works absolutely fine when on 3G. Moreover, youtube video streaming works fine on my macbook on the same wifi connection.
I am guessing this has to do something with the fact that streaming is not done via HTTP, therefore it is not using the wifi http proxy settings. But I could be totally wrong. Any ideas what could be causing this problem?

Hi,
Does anyone of you in NYC with cingular medianet Max Unlimited plan able to connect to m.youtube.com without getting "failed to connect network" error message?
It seems to me that Cingular has blocked the ports that streaming video are using? I am using Wifi without any problem.
Does anyone has a clue?
Thank you.
There's no streaming video on m.youtube.com... just some links to movies in 3gp...
I know in Media Net's WAP settings there is a proxy setting---try removing the proxy setting. I know without the proxy setting in place---you cannot access Cingualar's MediaNet page/videos.
I use PDA Net plan --- Could not get MediaNet to work on 3G at the time (also in NY).

Setup 2 profiles on phone. One for MediaNet (includes proxy settings) & another, e.g., ISP, not using proxy. MediaNet connection will work with many sites, but not streaming video or audio.
When you want to go to a site, like youtube or video streaming music, use your ISP profile. Do a search on forum & you'll find a Custel progy for switching between proxy & non-proxy.
If that doesn't work, reply here, as there might be a reg setting that needs to be changed.

Hello to all,
Does anyone know of an application or service that allows you to take videos from your home computer and allow you to stream those videos on an android device without having to be connected to the same wifi network?
I've searched around, and the only options that I've been able to find are those such as Skifta, TVserity, etc where you NEED to be connected to the same wifi network as the pc with the files. Those options work wonderfully.
However I'm looking for something more similar to Google Music where you upload your music, and are then able to access your music anywhere, through the carrier network or through another network
Basically, I'd like to be able to watch (stream) the videos I have on my computer anywhere that I go, without having to fill up the memory on my phone
Any ideas?

I currently use TVersity. There is an option in the settings to assign a username and password so you can access the media server outside of the network.
Once you have set a username and password, you can watch the media on your server through a flash interface. To access your server you would type in the <your ip address>:<chosen port>/flashlib from a browser.
Another option if you do not have a static ip is to setup a service like dyndns so you have an easy to remember address such as <chosen name>.dyndns.tv:<chosen port>.
Hope this helps.
My wifi is behind a university http proxy. I have modified the wifi connection in my Galaxy Nexus (4.2.1) to use the appropriate proxy settings.
Now, browser and most apps work fine, but there is a problem with the youtube app. I can search for videos, see comments, but the videos don't stream for some reason. Youtube video streaming works fine on my macbook on the same wifi connection.
Apart from youtube videos, instagram and viber seem to also not use the proxy settings.
Any ideas what could be wrong here?
First off, thanks to everyone on this forum. I'm seriously enjoying my 5x thanks to the great support this community provides.
Okay, here's what I'm after: I have a wireless router connected to my PC that I use as a Plex server. The router is NOT connected to the internet - I live in a remote location, so my only internet is over cell data. The PC houses my music collection, and I use my android phone to stream music via Plex over wifi, which I then connect to bluetooth.
Now, when I'm connected to the wifi, I am still connected to mobile data, however if I open a webpage it fails to load, as it seems to be defaulting to the wifi. I have Cellular Data Always Active turned on, which I thought would solve my issue, but seems not. I'm hoping there is an app or solution that will enable me to stream from my wifi LAN while accessing mobile data. Would a chromecast audio device solve this? Ie would the chromecast connect to the wifi and stream from Plex, allowing me to turn off the phone wifi once I cast?
The nitty gritty: N5x, ElementalX kernel, Xposed framework, AOSP, SuperSU.
Thanks!
So the endgame is to play music from your computer, through speakers, with your phone?
Interesting situation. This may or may not work for you:
Just kidding, it wasn't what I thought it was.

From what I have read it's not possible to use both the cellular network and wifi at the same time.
The solution is going to involve you not using wifi on your phone or tethering.

Correct, the end game is to play music which is stored on my PC, in another part of the house, and be able to control playback from my phone, while still being able to use my phone to browse the internet, etc. I could see this same issue applying to anyone that wants to have a local offline network for any purpose, say gov institutions or what have you.
It does seem like it might not be possible - when I saw the feature to have wifi and data on in Marshmallow, I thought it would allow me to do this, but it doesn't seem to have the desired effect. I will try some other options - I think a chromecast might work (edit: looks like chromecast needs internet. RasbPi might be my best option)
Worst case I just use my old S3 as a remote for Plex and keep it only on wifi.
