VLC player replacement for tablet?

[septicsmurf]

Hi all. Anyone know what media player I can use to stream to my tablet from within my home network? They don't have a vlc player for android yet and I've tried mobo player and vplayer with no luck. I can access the openweb page but when I click on the stream button it won't open. Any ideas? Thanks

Bs player lite will stream to android via smb shares mate. Just install it on android device it's free from the market. I use it all the time and have no problem streaming 4 or 5 mb short video clips to 2.5 gb blueray rips

Thanks. I'll have a look. Hope they bring vlc to android soon.

No mate. Bs player lite not working with the openwebif for me. Am I doing something wrong? When I click on the tv, download the file and choose bs player lite it says error opening file.

Do you have a shared folder set up on pc?????? If so open bsplayer and go to options then select lan and then enter pc ip addy

No. i'm trying to stream from my vu+ duo via openwebif.
I'll have a go at the settings later, see if it works.

If it accepts smb shares then it will work. Try entering the ip of the duo into the lan server.

I seem to be able to get access to the root of the vu+ duo box when I go into lan mode, but can't stream the tv channels via openwebif.
I can get access to the hdd, etc of the stb, but when I try stream a channel from the openwebif it throws up an error.
Am I doing something wrong?

Didn't realise you were trying to stream live tv and not a stored file. You won't stream live tv via smb. Bsplayer will stream direct from a web address but don't know about from an stb

I'll have a look over the next day or two. Kids are playing up a bit and haven't had much time to myself today. Thanks mate. I'll have a look over those links.

Legend. Got it all working with dreamdroid.
Took a while though. Firstly, since getting my tablet the duos ip has changed. Took me a while to figure that out.
Then had to learn how to port forward in my router settings.
Got there eventually, thx mate.
