a friend of mine recently gave me a netgear readyNAS nv+ NAS server that i plan on using with my phone to make up for the lack of internal. I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any apps that work well with connecting with it and with features like auto upload pics, vids etc etc. If theres an app that would even let me stream my music from it that would be fantastic
Not sure about auto upload but you can stream music and movies through es browser and other file browsers and I think there are other apps more for that but idk

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?

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...

Im guessing nas is network attached storage.... I had the same issues going from my computer through dlna router to tv with those same type files.... it's because nothing had proper codecs... ended up installing divx codecs and allshare to fix it... don't know what your fix is, since its stored on external storage and i thought the s3 could play those files... but this search looks promising
Softmedia Player is what I used on the Samsung Vibrant for this purpose. I'll have the GS3 tonight and this will be one of the first things I'll be exploring. It's a bit overkill, but there is now an xbmc for android that I've tried on my wife's GS2. It works well and can use UPnP sources.

Softmedia Player is working well for me for UPnP. I also installed MX Video player as well and when Softmedia Player asks, I use MX to play the videos. MX uses hardware decoding where possible and otherwise reverts to software.
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

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.

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.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
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.

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!

there's plex.
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.
