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?

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...

XBMC + Tegra3 HW Acceleration

I know that this was posted in the news on the 18th but I just have to share it with everyone again. Its that good!!! Don't miss out
It runs a lot smoother than the stable build supplied to all android systems.
Update: test Jan 27th w/ HW acceleration is even more stable than the 21st release.

Experimental hardware video decoding builds for Nexus 7
This development is great. Now I can watch 1080p movies via net on my Nexus 7!

It's more stable for me than the alpha2 from 2013.04.03.
Hope we will get soon Hardware acceleration on standard version xbmc.

Even the navi x plugin works... This is awesome.

I use my N7 to control my htpc/xbmc. No interest in running xbmc on my N7. To me that's just overkill. With a file manager that supports SMB I can watch anything on my NAS within a few seconds. It would have made more sense for these guys to keep the xbmc app the same and simply allow you to play it on your android. I got a mini android PC and tried xbmc on it but an actual PC does a better job period.

I stream several movies not only my PC but my nexus7 as well. They even stream from navi x . to you it may not be worth it or make sense but when you want to watch a movie somewhere or you have a child that wants to watch something while you dip something it is very handy. So makes great sense to me.

Maybe the wrong thread but giving xbmc remote the ability to use the default media player on an android device would be welcome feature. To have the web add on in xbmc also support playback would be great. The default web addon is pretty plain as it is.
Maybe the current dev might see this as a nice and easy feature.

You must not worry about watched status ( or have kids using the TV). Every tv/device in my house has xbmc or openelec on it (including 2 still working Xbox 1s!)

You can get it in two ways:
1. The safe way:
Download Apk Extractor to your S3 and send the apk to N7 by bluetooth
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sylark.apkextractor
2. Download it directly from another site which has is cached (be carefull, because some apks might be modified to include malware. so check its permissions before installing):
http://androidvnd.com/download.php?id=com.gmtmobile.fullmovies.activities

I recommend the app TV Portal. It has free TV shows and movies.

I use some special XBMC builds that add great HW acceleration support, and then I install the Navi-X plugin inside of it.
Thousands of 720p/1080p movies and TV shows along with Live TV streams on my Nexus 7? Priceless. I've streamed Silver Linings Playbook and Wreck-it-Ralph just fine.

[Q] Chromecast

Is it possible to use Chromecast on our GPro? I plan to use it to play video from MX PLayer and view it on TV.
Also, if it is possible, what are the things needed to set up the connection?
1. My GPro installed with MX player and Chromecast app
2. Chromecast, plugged to TV?
3. Wifi modem
4. TV with HDmi input
Am I missing anything else? Like a cable or something?

Chromecast works for pretty much any Android or iOS device and PCs. MX Player will not work unless there's something new I'm not aware of. Right now it only works for YouTube, Google Play content, Netflix, Hulu (I think) and Chrome browser on PC will cast anything you can play in the web browser. Pr0n and all that lol.
Just plug the Chromecast into your HDMI port connect the power and setup here. The chromecast app just enables chromecast specific functions in the apps mentioned above. Not sure when we'll be able to play our own content. They say eventually. We'll see. I love mine I have 2 one in my bedroom and one in the living room. It also comes with everything you need.

It works

That's good to hear. Sounds pretty cool though. Unfortunately viewing own content is my main concern using the device. Finding a cable here is quite difficult. They are all MHL to HDMi.

Chrome cast and Samsung video

Took advantage of Samsung hub $50 and purchased some movie, any one figure out how to play over chromecast yet? Music from Samsung isn't drm protected but the movies are

Chromecast does not work with the Samsung app. While it is on sale ($29.99) the Rocketfish Miracast receiver is better and cheaper. It mirrors your screen to a TV.

I will mirror exactly what is on the tablet so yes. Miracast is built into any android build since 4.2.1. I have used that device with these devices:
Nexus 10
Nexus 7 2013
Droid DNA
LG G2
Galaxy Note 10.1 2014

Reason I ask is my Samsung allshare cast dongle doesn't allow me to watch movie I rent on Google movies. It's just black screen with audio. But it mirrors everything else. Same if I use an hdmi with my Asus tf700. It has something to do with drm protection. But I would guess this is a limitation built on the android device.

Unfortunately the only device you'll be able to play the movie on is the device itself. It won't output to TV.

Is this right has any one tried the mirracast?

other options
I am considering Chromecast or the new Roku. Does anyone have thoughts on which is better/easier? I want to be able to view movies from Redbox streaming, Netflix, google play Samsung watch and amazon primarily. Thanks.

I can cast my samsung hub movies to chromecast. I use xbmc codecs and mx player with the mx player codecs to play the open the movie and then send it to my tv using avia.
