WMV/AVI player for Android??

will it work on files that aren't xvid? I've got some that my kids love, that the phone doesn't even recognize are on the card, though it reads and plays the xvid ones.
I don't know what file format you're talking about, but rock supports a whole bunch! Just try it or look up the supported formats on their site (don't remember the address exactly)

what application are you using on HTC HD to stream?

hey guys.. check this out for streaming..

Gmote > Android Remote


I'm using TCPMP on my HD2, it works flawlessly. I can stream an entire movie and it might hiccup maybe one time.

I'll check out Gmote and VLC, I'm actually dual booting Froyo on my HD2 so I can test these, thanks!

I have been researching streaming media to my android phone for what seems like decades now... even though i have only had my phone for 3 months.

Previously i used my omnia i910 to stream media off my PC with orblive, which worked great. Omnia i910 had coreplayer stream the media, orblive has a great interface (used media skin) and listed all my videos/mp3's

Not so great of a story on my Motorola droid. Great phone... but wtf? Cant stream avi's, wmv's and the 3g encryption doesnt look great. Ive looked into VLC but it looks like a pain to setup. GMOTE wont stream avi (i have rock player but you can make that your default media player to actually stream AVI's) and orblive will stream flash... but its not THAT great, maybe jumps around from 10-20 fps'ish

My question is there any update to the streaming/video playback on the droid yet? Something easy like orblive and a media player that will play AVI's or WMV's.

Exactly... Rockplayer (could) be great but I cant make Rock Player my default media player/doesnt stream. I can stream avi's VIA flash, but the frame rate isnt great.

No solutions? Is android really behind (far behind) a windows mobile device? My omnia i910 with coreplayer and my PC serving my library with orblive is great... but... my droid cant do that?

Give some time to android buddy... It's still in growing phase... a third party applications will be available soon I think.
