Adding codecs or using alternative player in DLNA? - Defy General

Hi fellow defy users,
DLNA is great but the problem is my media player on defy cannot play most of the media files on my computer. Is there a way to add codecs to the DLNA media player or switch to an alternative player for playing the files? Or any suggestions for an app which can play media files on a network computer?
Thanks

anyone??????????????

streaming audio

Well I am trying to stream my music files at my media center pc to my Hermes with WM6.
The wma files play really well. However, the mp3 files do not play.
In the media center forum I read that mobile WMP does not play streaming mp3 but only plays wma.
I think that there must be a solution for this.
Maybe another streaming player ?
Could anyone suggest something ?
Thanks
Orb will do what you're looking for.
yes, I know that Orb does it. Also, Webguide does it.
But I don't prefer to convert to wma on PC side.
Why does not WM6 wmp support mp3 ?
Also, isn't there any mp3 steaming player for WM6/WM5 ?

2 questions.
1. Which media player are you using? (ex: Windows Media Player, TCPMP, Coreplayer. etc...)
2. What type of file are you trying to play? ( ex: .Divx , .WMV, .AVI, .MP4)
im using windows media player, been trying to view from youtube.

That's your problem. Windows Media Player doesn't support YouTube videos. You'll need another streaming media player such as: TCPMP (works great), CorePlayer, or HTC Streaming Media Player. These can be found by "Googling" or using the search feature in the forum.
thank u for ur help

[Q]Music Player with .flac and samba support?

Hello Xda community,
I'm looking for a music player that can stream .flac and .mp3 using samba server.
I tried Neutron MP but this app freezes everytime and samba server option doesn't work
However Samba server works great with Dice Player but it doesn't support music extension like .mp3 ( i get " no media file or folder" when i browse my music folders...)
Samba also works with ES File Explorer but we only can open one file at a time, i want to open an album playlist.
After few hours of search , i despair :crying:
What's about winamp, poweramp ? does it support samba?
Thanks for your help.
Can you run Subsonic on the server? Has a nice App and streams pretty much all audio formats.

Thanks for the tip but i can't install this app because it's a NAS running samba :S
What NAS?
I only ask as I personally use Logitech Media Server on my NAS and Squeeze player on my tablet for streaming music.
Squeeze player turns the nexus into a squeezebox player but there's no interface for control, you'll also need a squeezebox control app, the free version from Logitech will do. You can also use a Web browser that we control it, either on the device or any other device on your network.
Probably overkill just for a tablet, I also use proper squeezebox units in my house for multiroom audio, but it works very well. You could also run Logitech Media Server on a pc but that would mean the pc would need to be on to use it.
Squeeze player isn't free but it does work very well.
Logitech Media Server also has a DNLA plug in so it can also be used by any suitable DNLA client, i use Skifta for DNLA

Did you try Tonido. Tonido can play flac, ogg and mp3.
Try BSPlayer,
Not really a music player tho...

Root your tablet.
Then mount the samba share. Preferably inside the /sdcard folder, then many apps are able to access the share.
I use GoneMad Music Player, which is not only the best music app but also indexes the music folder(s) very quickly in it's own database (which persists when the music folder is disconnected).

+1 for Tonido. It works great. Plays anything I throw at it.
AFAIK, Tonido needs its own server... Don't think that's what the OP after

New 3.0 beta of ES File Explorer works quite nicely if you want no library but a folder-based approach.

Samba Network Music Player
Hey man you could try Samba Network Music Player - it was specifically designed for this purpose. Still in development but it works.
It scans the shares dir structure for you to browse faster the shares and also caches tracks or whole albums if you want to take the music to listen out and about. FLAC is supported if Android is 3.1+.

Music player

My Nokia 6 does not recognize all my music. Some are formated as mp3 but most are wma. Is anyone else having this problem if how have you found a solution?
Which music player are you using?
WMA support is less widely spread in Android. I use Rocket Player, but WMA support is only in the paid or with ads premium version. But there are other apps out there.
Try VLC.
or foobar2000
Pulsar
So I've installed Google Play Music and it see some music files but not all. Is it possible that when I updated to Oreo 8.1 I lost the codecs?
VLC is really great. Plays all audio & video files; I use it both on pc and on mobile
