Hi guys
I have recently come from the Windows mobile systems to Android (because WP7 is kack), I used to log into my Windows Home Server and stream movies from it to my phone using WebGuide.
This method doesn't seem to work on Android, does anyone know of any applications for Android or Windows Home Server which will allow me to do this again?
Most movies are home made and have been converted to .mp4 or .wmv formats but I do have a couple of .avi movies too.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Terry
I have had luck with the mp4 streaming server from the tools4movies website. Streams well over wifi and will do 3G if the quality is reduced enough. It might suit most of your needs
Never found an Android app and was considering a Windows 7 phone since it is supposed to work well with WHS V2, I have decided to stick with Android.

If you can install VLC player on your server, you can watch your movies with VLC S&C Free app for your DHD. You can play anything with that - mp4, avi, wmv, mkv... you name it.
This is probably old news now but for anyone who wants to know, I finally found an app that works.
It's called Subsonic, it works on port 4040 on your media center/WHS box and streams perfectly for music and video - it doesn't say that it supports video as it was originally designed just for music but it works impressively none the less.
Subsonic also has a trick up its sleeve which allows you to watch live tv directly from your tv tuner, from what I can tell this only works from Media Centre machines itself with a HD Homerun box which allows TV over IP.
I hope this helps anyone who comes across this article.

What media server is subsonic connecting to? I can't get it to see twonky
None, it just sits on my Windows Home Server and streams my personal music and movies directly.

I was wondering if anyone has trouble streaming free movies online as I do?
I have adobe flash installed as well as vlc player and it seems I can't stream free movies from sites such as
1channel
alluc
movie25
streams from source putlocker and sockshare will get a very blurry and stretched out pixelation
other streams from source gorillavid, daclips don't even load

What are you using to stream the movies. Try XBMC.

I use "bubble upnp" in combination with MXplayer to stream from synology media server.
I'm very satisfied with it; I stream HD all the time.

My normal browsing experience frequently involves clicking media links that trigger third-party players. In particular, I click links for video files or audio files that play in VLC primarily. How do I integrate VLC into the Silk or Firefox browsing experience on the Fire TV? For example, I want VLC to be triggered as a player whenever I click a link in the Firefox or Silk Fire TV browser that ends in .m3u8.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm quite surprised that I've hit a brick wall on this; I would have thought it would have been a standard part of the browser setup on the Fire TV, now that Firefox and Silk are both available for it. But apparently it is not.
By the way, I manually installed VLC by itself on the Fire TV and it works O.K. with some exceptions, though I still need to figure out how to integrate it with one or both of my Fire TV browsers. There are a few live video streams which VLC handles fine on my computer but where it has some problems when playing on a Fire TV (specifically, some live video streams use a segmented system, where the stream is not continuous but consists of small video files of ten or fifteen seconds, followed by another file of the same length, followed by another file of the same length, etc. etc. This segmented steaming system works fine in VLC on my computers but when these streams play back in VLC on the Fire TV, you can see the breaks/interruptions as each segment finishes playing and VLC loads up the next one). So I guess I'm also in the market for another video streaming player for my Fire TV, in addition to the VLC player, specifically a video player that can better handle segmented streaming in the Fire TV environment. Though I guess that second question may belong in a separate thread perhaps. (By the way, I just discovered that the VLC player does NOT have this problem on my regular plain vanilla LG Tribute HD phone (Android version 6.0.1) with live segmented streams. The VLC player's problem with live segmented streams seems to be confined to the Fire TV. Problem on the Fire TV or with VLC?)

I have moved away from Spotify premium on my Android phone, in favour of Spotify Lite (no ads), YouTube Vanced, and YouTube Vanced Music. Using Set Orientation for Spotify Lite on my Shield TV works great, but most of the time you have to guess what is actually selected on screen as this does not highlight, and you cannot cast from Spotify Lite on another device. If you already have it running on Android TV and you open it on your phone (with the same account) and select something the UI will not respond on the phone but it will start playing on the TV. This could work but the drawback with this is that if you leave it running and you are not at home trying to use Spotify Lite your songs will only be playing at home, not to mention if you want to play music on your phone and someone else wants to use the Shield.
There are ads when casting from YouTube Music Vanced to the Shield - on the Shield.
Google Home does not yet allow adding the Shield TV to a speaker group
Smart YouTube TV works great on Android TV, there are no ads but if you try to have audio only by going to your homescreen it pauses playback.
Is there some way to do this? I am happy to root the Shield if necessary.
Have you tried Newpipe? No ads and has background player. You can get it from fdroid or official site https://newpipe.schabi.org/

Yes, I have Newpipe and Smart YouTube TV installed but when I cast from my phone it the music or music and video play using Chromecast and I still experience ads.
I also found with Newpipe that you cannot login so I cannot access my saved playlists or recommendations etc.
Have you had a different experience?

Didn't know that for login as I'm not using google account. I bookmark playlists directly in Newpipe.
As for ads when casting that has to do with Chromecast. Chromecast is getting stream directly from router, not your phone. I believe you will have to block ads either directly on Shield with an ad blocker or on network level by using ad-blocking dns or pi-hole.
