So, there is a lot going on to stream to the tablets and phone especially with transcoding an ISO or MKV file. The app on the mobile device is likely the “control center”. VLC Streamer has an app for the mobile device, and the program on the PC called VLC Streamer Helper runs the VLC program and likely is a transcoder and server that streams the VLC output to the mobile device. Pearl, you might have already discovered by now that VLC Streamer is a two-part program that uses a third program (VLC) to get the job done. I have other background apps I need to be running that I dont want to slow down to much if possible. Pearl wrote:> I am correct in understanding that it turns your VLC app into a DLNA Media Server, so transcodes the video and then puts the stream out onto your local net? I have little aprehension from one of your post that you said it pegged your CPU to 100%. There is a free demo program (with adverts) but that **bleep**, so spend the whopping sum of $1.99 and get the ad-free version! (BTW, it can stream MKV files, too, even those from BDs if not too complex). Just search the forum for my messages regarding VLC Streamer. It enables one to stream both ISO files and DVDs (playing in a drive) to the devices with the assist of VLC running on your computer. I have some suggested programs for you to use for streaming to the phone, but I’d like your explanation beforehand.Īnd, to Pearl: I suppose you don’t recall what all I’ve written about VLC Streamer app for iOS and Android gadgets in the forum. vlc format seems not to be a video or audio file format, but a playlist. vlc file is a video/audio playlist that’s specific to using with the VLC media player, and no different that other playlist files other than the extension. From there it’s just a matter of selecting an app that you like, and plays the formats that your videos are stored the video files I want to watch are all in. Once you can browse your network with you phone, and see the HUB and the files on it, you are in great shape. I do not have enough experience with this to recomend any specific application but I am sure there are some other folks here who can tell you some apps to try out. The one issue I have is I cannot find an application that plays ISO files.Īs Ichigo wrote above, you could also use your phone as a Media Server client over DLNA from the HUB, which would transcode the video first and then stream it to your phone. I chose BS Media player because it works well with MKVs which is the format most of my videos are in. It works quite well, but there are plenty of other applications that will do the same thing and play various media formats. I then use BS Media Player to play the movies. It’s a great app for all sorts of file management tasks. To connect, I am using EFS file Explorer to browse both my local drive on the pad, and connect and browse to remote shares on the HUB or any other network resource. I connect as a network share, and to use that method you really need to do two seperate things to make this work.ġ) connect to a network share and locate the video VLC Streamer is designed to work on your local wifi network, and the free helper app has to run on your Mac or PC.Have a nexus pad running Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and have found plenty of good apps that will let you play videos/music from your HUB. (Videos from the iTunes store do include DRM). VLC Streamer will not play DRM protected videos. If you have any doubts, then please try the free version of this application first.
