Im using a Wireless HDD (AGOSY Network Drive) connected to an AP to give it wireless capabilities. This has been installed wth a 12V connection to be able to be powered from the car battery.
I am having probems with the file system when its acessed from the PDA especialy. The enclusure is ARGOSY Network enclosure and when playing media from TCPMP/MediaPayer or PocketPlayer or any other movie player, seeking is not possible and most .AVI files are not playable from within the HDD. While the same .AVI files if copied to the StorageCard the seeking works fine and the vdeos which don't play directly from Wireless system play well directly from the storage card.
Is anyone having the same problem with their wireless network drive or is this a problem with the type of network encosure used?
hmmm... can you play it from your computer share? through wireless or USB
i dont quite understand your question. :?
i have an asus wl-hdd 2.5 and a o2 exec
from standard i could find the hard drive through wifi and form a partnership but i was unable to browse the contents of the hard drive
to remedy this i installed resco file explorer , this then gives you a network file which you will have to map,
you are unable to search for files through tcmp or wm player but with resco installed you can search the directory of your hard drive and press on what you want to play.
i find tcmp a better player for media streaming than wm player
i think i now understand your question when you mean seeking do you mean the time slider.
if so yes i can place it in a chosen spot and play the movie from that spot.
there will be a few second time lag before it initiates playing.
1 what speed is you wireless hard drive connection
2 what size are the movies you are trying to play
3 what resolution are the movies you are trying to play
i find that 640x480 movies will jam up quite alot but 320x240 movies work smoothly
if it jams up i normaly lose my wifi connection (must confuse the hard drive os)
I use a DLNA NAS in the house to conenct to my PS3 which my DHD happily connects to and plays music from.
Is there a way of copying music from the NAS drive to my DHD?
Thanks.
ftp directly to it
Download Es file explorer. You will then be able to access your nas over WiFi and if you activate ftp you can access the nas over 3G.
When all connections are set just copy files from the nas to your SD card.

How simple is it to allow my phone to view media streamed around my home network, when I'm out and about?
I know how to port forward and I use Serviio. Are there apps better suited to this than others? Can I just use EStrong File Explorer to browse to my home IP and port forward to the drive of my media server?
Any tips welcomed
Have you tried iMediaShare from the Market?
Or Audiogalaxy, also from the market. Requires registration and an app to be installed on your PC, but easy to setup and works like a charm.
I use subsonic, works a dream and a doddle to setup. think there was a license fee (£13) and you can stream or download direct to the phone.
just my 2cents
iMediaShare looks to be sending media from my phone to a TV, which I can do already with Skifta.
AudioGalaxy looks to be music only and it's actually more about video for me.
Subsonic says it does most video formats are supported, so I'll give that a go.
Many thanks everyone
iMediaShare starts a DLNA host/server so it can stream and play media (audio/video) from your media server (via Wi-Fi locally or via 3G). It can also stream youtube and all other listed sources to your DLNA enabled devices.
Well Subsonic didn't seem to be able to play my videos, so I'll try iMediaShare then, thanks.
**EDIT** I've just realised Skifta has a remote access, so I'll give that a go first, as I'm signed up with them already.
I want to be able to stream varies video files (avi, mkv, etc) to my N7 from my PC while away from home. Tried looking to see if this was already talked about but couldn't see anything.
Tried Plex however unsuccessful in setting it up? Any links or suggestions or best app's or tutorial on setting this up? UPnP/DLNA or FTP (old school way)? Plex or BubbleUPnP or something else?
FYI....running Windows 7 x64 at home. Have N7 connected to my i9100 most of the time. Have newer Netgear WNDR3700-100NAS Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router at home. Also my N7 is not rooted.
Thank you in advance.
Have you tried orb or playon?
Have you tried VLC, or XBMC?

If you enable file sharing you can use es file explorer and dice player to stream from your PC but it has to be on the same network. I've been watching movies this way since I got my nexus and it works great. There's no lag or having to wait for buffer.
You should just go download qloud video server and then thank me after... I guarantee its exactly what you're looking for... easy to setup and works perfect ... seriously don't know why more people don't recommend this!
Best solution to the OPs question is Plex
Or dice VPN
Dice player will play videos over a shared folder.
Did you try Zumocast?
I'd say Plex too, don't really like Orb's interface, but if the OP was having issues setting up Plex (a very easy process in my experience) I would think that they will have similar issues with any other service.
Does Subsonic handle video? If so, Subsonic = instant win... I use it for music. Couldn't ask for much more than what Subsonic offers.
Note: It's free for basic use, but for mobile use you need to donate a few bucks to unlock a key to use it with mobile devices as well. I donated like 15 bucks. EASILY worth it. I hook up my N7 to some 2.0 speakers on my deck and stream from my server downstairs.
I use BSplayer stream video from NAS

i dunno about App, but the old school way is indeed the easiest way. set up FTP server in ur PC, open and forward FTP port from your router, use ES File Explorer to add the WAN IP address as FTP server.
of course, 2 issues:
- if u got Dynamic IP (standard home cable/satellite broadband) then u need to update it every now and then
- i cant guarantee it can "stream" if using a FTP setup.
the alternative is of course using ur router, setup a Virtual server, and share the windows machine. if u set it up securely and use the correct ports, then it could be the better solution. but im not sure how to configure it with Netgear.
Dice player have built in
Smb , ftp , http support with external sub files.
No rooting is required.
Plex is fairly simple to setup. Need to make sure you UPnP on your router, if not then set the default port in the firewall on the router for the app. After you install, launch your browser or right click the icon in the task tray. Web address is http://computerIP:32400/manage. You will then tell it where your TV, Movies, Pictures, and Music folder is and let it sit for awhile depending so it can gather all the metadata.
I have been using Plex for over a year now and it just keeps getting better. I use it on all my devices when I am out and use Plex Media on my desktop connected to the TV or stream to xbox on my office TV.
Also create an account with plex forums and you can use it to log in in the web GUI and it will make it easier to connect to your N7 while out of the house.
If you have other question on setting it up, PM me and I'll try my best to help out.

I set this up yesterday and it works beautifully. It's supposed to be for Motorola phones but you can get a patched version from here:

Get the Patched-Rotation file
Setup is as easy as making an account and logging in to it on your PC and device. You also have to download the PC software from the zumocast site. I've tested this away from home and it works great. Streams videos, music, and basically opens any file up (like documents, pictures..etc)
Plex is best...
Ps3 media server/universal media server->mediahouse->dice or MX player and your good to go
---edit
never mind I forgot you mention away from home
Very Frustrated in transferring Music and Movies to the Nexus 7 2 from my PC and from Itunes.
Can someone steer me to a thread that describes how to do this step by step. I have had little luck in figuring out how to transfer to the N7 from my Windows 7 PC do to the stupidity of only having MTP protocol.
I am hesitant to buy Doubletwist Airsync but would pay for it after confirming it would work........
Maybe an alternative would help?
I don't use itunes to sync my music. I use SyncR and it works perfectly. For movies, I use ftpCafe to download movies since i have an FTP server running on my home machine. I connect through local LAN and the speed is blazing fast. If you don't have FTP, you could use ES File Explorer to browse a network share and download that way too.
Hope it helps.
if you don't mind doing it wirelessly, I use WifiDroid which lets me upload using a web interface on my PC.
Personally, I'm using USB sticks to transfer files via usb-otg cable (~5 bucks). If your rom respectively kernel doesn't support (format of) USB stick (eg. exFat), flashing custom kernel such as ElementalX and apks such as stickmount or usb-otg helper (my recommendation) will do the job. Works great for me..
I can use my N7 like a hard drive....i dont get what you mean...
