Remote network access does not work...bummer.

Works on wi fi can't get it to work on 3g samsung facinate.

Been talking to the guy who made it..zero help. Uninstalling

Works fine for me since I only use it with wifi anyway.

Tried it again with 4g and it works

Hey everyone. My virgin post, be gentle

This installed fine for me and the remote feature to play on pc worked great. Of course I was more interested in accessing my massive tv and movie collection while on the go over 3g so I tried that and it initially failed. BUT I finally got it to work. Here is how.

Go in to settings and put your external ip address in. If you don't know what your ip address is, just google 'whats my ip' and theres several sites you can browse to that will tell you.

If you're behind a router go in to the router config and forward port(s) 8080, 5554, and 4444 to your internal ip address. If you connect to your router via DHCP, take this opportunity to switch over to a static ip to better facilitate your port forwards. Initially I only forwarded 8080 and it wasn't working over 3g. After forwarding 5554 and 4444 it started buffering instead of just hanging at the buffer screen.

I was playing 720p .mkvs over wifi at 1024kbps video and 128 audio and it looked really nice. For my 3g test that seemed to buffer too much, so I kicked it down to 256k video and 56k audio. I've been watching the latest episode of 'Ebert presents at the movies' for about 10 minutes now, and once it buffered for the first time its been flawless. It is clearly poor video quality, but its quite watchable. I will have to bump the qualities up and down to find the highest quality sustainable over 3g. As a side note, the 3g here is notably awful, usually speed testing at 400-500 at best, even after I bypassed the 3g proxy with the known 'hack'.

Don't forget vlc will play music too!

Pretty neat app, good luck for those trying to get android play over 3g working and thanks for posting the app.

I can't even get it to link to my VLC :[
It keeps saying "No VLC found in near network"
But I enabled web interface and input all the necessary IP and port info.

Is there any way to stream network source from vlc(PC) to android over wifi with this?
(I would like to stream from a sopcast source with vlc to android. But as I see it can only stream from file source.)

excellent first post jtfan, thanks for the info, I think I'll give it a shot.

@pd, thanks for another great app posting. I believe there is a newer version of this one out if you get a bit of time.
