My note 2 streams perfectly to my windows 7 all-in-one but any time I try to stream to my ps3, it is choppy, skips, and throws errors. The PC and the PS3 are in the same room on the same network. Any ideas or is this just a problem with my setup somewhere? I have tried the native dlna server software, skifka, media server, and pixel, all with the same outcome

I use dnla to transfer videos to my ps3. It's painfully slow. I don't think it's your setup.
It's the same on my wife's gs3.
If anyone has a way to improve this, I'd greatly appreciate it too!

For those who haven't attempted yet, you can install screen share.apk from the MT4G. i have it running and reading my files, connected to wifi. i know its really ment to show on TVs and such, but i dont have a DNLA enable device like that. Has any1 had success using it to share to a DNLA tv?
does any1 know if laptops are capable of being media receivers as oppose to media servers? in other words, use a laptop to view media? i've got a macbook and i'd think its be good, for me in this point in time, to share onto my mac because i practically live off this thing. netflix is awesome and i cant wait til that hits android!
Can you post the apk and I'll try it out on my Blu-Ray Player with DLNA.
having trouble uploading it. its twonky tmobile .apk from the mytouch 4g rom dump.
does anyone else have a link for this apk? wanna test but dont feel like downloading 321mb for 1 apk lol...but will if i have to

i can confirm that it works on tmobile g2. though...not as it should. maybe it was my end.
basically tried to stream to ps3. ps3 read the twonky server. unfortunately the phone didnt read the ps3 so the beam option was not working. but, fortunately, the ps3 was able to download the file from the g2 over wifi and play it anyways.
any1 else try to steam anything? i would love to figure out how to set a laptop as a media receiver instead of a mead server (location the media comes from)
I have done some research with the Splashtop application for android. Its old news and I know its possible to stream videos/games from your phone.
Lately though, I've been trying to figure out how to play games over the Splashtop stream using wifi connection. The fps is fine, only problem is the input... what controls can I use to control my character on World Of Warcraft?
Has anyone setup Splashtop on their Epic Touch? Also, is that the only application that supports remote desktop video streaming?
My favorite is logmein ignition it is 29.99 but it is a remote desktop control that you can hear music steam video and eveything on your computer and controll it with your phone A+++++ app
..... using XDA Premium App
The LogmeIn application supports video streaming? Wasn't aware, I might give that a try, thank you.

I have logmein and use it often, but streaming ANY media is not recommended. Music stops constantly and video is not possible. My PC is on a LAN with 12/1.5 internet and video sucks. It is just not plausible for that and for gaming, tried it.
Is there a way to stream/access my photos, music, files, videos etc to my device from my home PC directly, thus bypasing cloud services, my pc is on all the time so would be nice to do, seeing as the GN only has 16GB storage.
Thanks,

Have a look at Subsonic. Doesn't do pictures I think but music and video for sure.
Also look into Plex. The server for your PC is free but the app is $4.99, or at least it was when I bought it. It changes bitrate on the fly to adjust for bandwidth. It was able to stream SD video over a Sprint 3G connection!
+1 for Plex.
Awesome App.

Filezilla on the PC and an FTP client on my phone does the trick for me. Involves some tinkering in your router to enable port forwarding but once its all setup its good to go.

But will an FTP Client allow me to stream video, music, browse photos etc, for what i know and ftp would only allow me to download these, or am i wrong?

3rd shoutout for Plex. It seriously rocks and my kids even use it on our iPad without adult intervention.
I have same question regarding streaming, but i want to exclusively stream HD files and i have a Note... so maybe you guyz can help me out here

I want to be able to stream varies video files (avi, mkv, etc) to my N7 from my PC while away from home. Tried looking to see if this was already talked about but couldn't see anything.
Tried Plex however unsuccessful in setting it up? Any links or suggestions or best app's or tutorial on setting this up? UPnP/DLNA or FTP (old school way)? Plex or BubbleUPnP or something else?
FYI....running Windows 7 x64 at home. Have N7 connected to my i9100 most of the time. Have newer Netgear WNDR3700-100NAS Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router at home. Also my N7 is not rooted.
Thank you in advance.
Have you tried orb or playon?
Have you tried VLC, or XBMC?

If you enable file sharing you can use es file explorer and dice player to stream from your PC but it has to be on the same network. I've been watching movies this way since I got my nexus and it works great. There's no lag or having to wait for buffer.
You should just go download qloud video server and then thank me after... I guarantee its exactly what you're looking for... easy to setup and works perfect ... seriously don't know why more people don't recommend this!
Best solution to the OPs question is Plex
Or dice VPN
Dice player will play videos over a shared folder.
Did you try Zumocast?
I'd say Plex too, don't really like Orb's interface, but if the OP was having issues setting up Plex (a very easy process in my experience) I would think that they will have similar issues with any other service.
Does Subsonic handle video? If so, Subsonic = instant win... I use it for music. Couldn't ask for much more than what Subsonic offers.
Note: It's free for basic use, but for mobile use you need to donate a few bucks to unlock a key to use it with mobile devices as well. I donated like 15 bucks. EASILY worth it. I hook up my N7 to some 2.0 speakers on my deck and stream from my server downstairs.
I use BSplayer stream video from NAS

i dunno about App, but the old school way is indeed the easiest way. set up FTP server in ur PC, open and forward FTP port from your router, use ES File Explorer to add the WAN IP address as FTP server.
of course, 2 issues:
- if u got Dynamic IP (standard home cable/satellite broadband) then u need to update it every now and then
- i cant guarantee it can "stream" if using a FTP setup.
the alternative is of course using ur router, setup a Virtual server, and share the windows machine. if u set it up securely and use the correct ports, then it could be the better solution. but im not sure how to configure it with Netgear.
Dice player have built in
Smb , ftp , http support with external sub files.
No rooting is required.
Plex is fairly simple to setup. Need to make sure you UPnP on your router, if not then set the default port in the firewall on the router for the app. After you install, launch your browser or right click the icon in the task tray. Web address is http://computerIP:32400/manage. You will then tell it where your TV, Movies, Pictures, and Music folder is and let it sit for awhile depending so it can gather all the metadata.
I have been using Plex for over a year now and it just keeps getting better. I use it on all my devices when I am out and use Plex Media on my desktop connected to the TV or stream to xbox on my office TV.
Also create an account with plex forums and you can use it to log in in the web GUI and it will make it easier to connect to your N7 while out of the house.
If you have other question on setting it up, PM me and I'll try my best to help out.

I set this up yesterday and it works beautifully. It's supposed to be for Motorola phones but you can get a patched version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276410
Get the Patched-Rotation file
Setup is as easy as making an account and logging in to it on your PC and device. You also have to download the PC software from the zumocast site. I've tested this away from home and it works great. Streams videos, music, and basically opens any file up (like documents, pictures..etc)
Plex is best...
Ps3 media server/universal media server->mediahouse->dice or MX player and your good to go

never mind I forgot you mention away from home
Hi folks,
I'm stumped on this one, wondering if anyone has seen similar issues or has any ideas.
Basically, many videos will playback with extreme stutter over wireless. I've tried every video player I can think of and I've also tried alternate sources (NAS vs desktop share). The reason I know this is only a wireless problem is I have no issues with identical clips once I copy them to a USB and play them using an OTG cable.
I thought at first it was a question of bandwidth, but I'm on wireless N and the problem persists on even a 640x480 .avi file @ 1250kbps, which wireless N should be able to handle.
Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
TLDR: Many video clips stutter only when played from a wireless source.
Bump! Anyone have any ideas?
I'm experiencing this problem to when streaming videos from the interwebz, opening them in MXPlayer.
Does anyone have a clue what this might be caused by?
Bump numero dos!
weird, i can't play youtube videos, stutters, not sure if if its the device cuz i have fast wifi connection speed, 150Mbps connection it says on my 5ghz N router
im thinking its device wifi hardware issue and not my actual home wifi network
Bump again. Find it hard to imagine nobody else is having this problem.
The stuttering is due to Google's poor implementation of video playback in the new youtube app. Uninstall all updates and use the stock youtube app for a better playback experience sans stutter.

I don't have problems with Youtube though. Let me reiterate:
Using the same exact videos and apps:
Play a video saved to my NAS or a Windows share via wireless - playback that stutters
Play a video saved to a USB flash drive using USB OTG - playback is fine
Again, this happens even with a 1250kbps video over wireless-N, so I don't believe throughput is an issue. I get 35mbps up 21mbps down on speedtest.net over my Nexus 7's wireless.
Just a suggestion, but try your video on some other network to isolate to a Nexus problem or something else.

Thanks, this is a good idea. I'll try a couple WAP networks at work tomorrow and report back.

I tried today using two different WAPs and the problem still persists. Any other ideas?
The only thing I can think of is to try a system reset. Be careful to back up your music/pictures etc.
OK, new development on this. Not sure why I didn't think of trying this before, but I did some testing with my 2012 Nexus 7. Has the exact same problem as my 2013 Nexus 7.
So at this point I'd have to think this is Android related and not hardware or environment related. Some sort of issue with passing data between the wireless hardware and the rest of the OS.
Thoughts?
Bump!

Can you provide a little more information please? When you say you are playing it via network using the MX Player, are you supplying MX a stream url? or you simply browse to the LAN share via a file explorer and try to play the video directly?
Did you try changing the decoders in MX Player? HW/HW+/SW? HW+ works perfectly for me on Nexus 7 2013.
720p and 1080p worked just fine over network with my Nexus 7 (TP-Link 1043ND so nothing special, same old 2.4GHz N network) ..

I have had great success with DLNA media servers. I have PS3 Media Server (totally free) installed on my server pc. My Nexus 7 has BubbleUpnP which picks up PS3 media server flawlessly. BubbleUpNp is by far one of the best UpNp and DLNA client and server I have seen till date for android device (just my humble opinion). I have set MXPlayer as the default player in BubbleUpnP settings. I can browse and play anything, and its without a stutter.
Here are the details of my setup:
-- PS3 media server installed on
-- BubbleUpnP installed on Nexus 7
-- MX Player installed on Nexus 7
That's all it takes. I have taken this setup a step further for my own needs. I store movies on my Nexus 7 since I travel in the subway and I like to watch movies on the go. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and depending on where I am, I switch devices while watching movies. I would start a movie on one device and resume on the other, without actually having to store the video in both the devices. I tether a connection from my S3 and my Nexus 7 connects to the hotspot. I run BubbleUpnP on both Nexus and S3. The Nexus 7 acts as a server and sees the S3 as a client (renderer). I stream movies from my Nexus 7 to my S3. Tested with 720p movies and the result is flawless. No quality loss. Sometimes there is a momentary stutter but it goes away. It depends on how the video is ripped too.
You really don't need the S3 and N7 setup details. i just wanted to share it. Sorry for the long post. Hope it helps.
