walesavfc Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hi i want to watch the movies i have on my pc, on my android phone tried getting VLC for android but is not stable. Am thinking maybe getting dropbox installed on my pc and using that on the phone would be the best idea, But am hoping some1 here allready uses pc-android streaming and maybe have better ideas.

limpid Posted May 12, 2012 Administrator Share Posted May 12, 2012 Not really my area, but when you stay "is not stable", what happened when you tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Theres a great app called skifta on android that you can use for this, eorks great for me, but I rarely use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 You can set up streaming on the PC either through Media Player or by installing TVersity. Then its down to your handset - I know Samsung S2 has All share which can be used to stream from your PC to the Phone - works well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted May 14, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2012 The way I do it is that I have ES File Explorer installed on my phone. With it I can browse the network and copy files back and forth. It can also stream media. For video playback I use MX Video Player for everything. For Music/AudioI have the built in Android music app as my default player; basically for anything stored on my phone. For streaming though I use the one that is part of ES File Explorer. I do this by long pressing on the file (or selection of files) and selecting 'music' It then gets opened in the ES Music player (which is a little flaky tbh, but pretty good nonetheless). The advantage to this way is that you don't have to mess around with setting up/configuring/refreshing media servers. ES File Explorer is bloody ace.
