Duo to Android Streaming (Local and Remote)
Hi I purchased my ReadyNAS duo for redundancy purposed for my photographs etc. but recently I became aware of all of the other great things it can do. I also recently (I know, its 2011!) just got ...
did you enable 'automatically update database' and/or 'rescan media files' ?
I played around with andromote (free ver) on my EVO, and it only works on wifi, pictures and mp3 seem to work, but playlist is limited to 4 tracks, video does not work although most of my video is either dvd rips, avi files, or m2ts blurays.
Neither estrongs or andromote actually stream, they appear to download and play the files, which is fine but obviously you have to wait for the whole thing to download before playing it.
Again, I repeat my first post, I do not think you will find an acceptable solution. What solutions you do find, will not be very user friendly or sufficent peformance.
There are also not very many or good upnp clients on android.
The duo will not transcode anything, so your android must be able to play the file type natively and the file must be the proper resolution for your phone. So mp3 and pictures should work, but video will be difficult.
Finally, if you intend to stream over 3g you must also have sufficient upload bandwidth on your internet connection, most are limited upload speeds.. my dsl is 3 meg down, but only .5 meg up. I can stream audio fairly well (using SUBSONIC), but video is either low quality and/or tends to buffer alot.
