Best way to stream to andriod???

[jbuszkie]

I just got a couple of android tablets and my phone is also android.

I'd like your thoughts on what's the best way to see my sage TV content on
the tablets. Is plex the best/easiest way? Is a DNLA server/client a better way to go? And finally for the road.. Is the goflex satellite the best app for that?
Someone suggested a cifs app to mount drives. But that requires root (which I haven't done to my phone/tablets yet.

What are people doing to stream their video library to their tablets?

Thanks!

I've used Emit on my android devices (Galaxy S3 and HP Touchpad w/ Android ROM). It works pretty well and is real similar to AirVideo on Apple devices, but the transcoding in Emit uses a lot more CPU. For example, when watching a show via Emit, the dual cores on my virtual machine are pegged, but running AirVideo CPU usage is between 75-85%, leaving the VM still useful.

Emit will work both on your local wireless and remotely, and I've been pretty happy with the quality. I've been meaning to try out Plex as another option though...

I tried several players and Directly accessing through Phoenix Android and TaSagetv .. it plays some not all for some reason. I am in the process of setting up Plex that appears to be the best.

I use Qloud....to me, it comes closest to Air Video on the Android (simple/easy access to streaming over WiFi and Internet).

I'm a fan of Plexing over the internet. Works great for me.

I went with Plex... too many features to pass up. Plus there is a Plex Sage Plugin I am going to try.

Let us (well me...) know how the setup went..

[nyplayer]

With the Plex Android application you can continue viewing a show on your Desktop running Plex Client or tablet you can bounce back and forth keeps track of where you are at..


Also it acts as a Plex remote control to control your Plex Clients. I tried all different types of video formats and they all work.

Final followup.


I just added the Sagetv Recording Directories and import directories to Plex it found all the metadata for all my recordings. So there was nothing else to do. I am able to stream locally and over the internet. To Android devices and laptops etc.... As far as scheduling I use the Chrome Webserver so all is well.


I am completely satisfied with this setup.

I'm having trouble importing the sage shows.. You mentioned there is a plugin.. is it a sage plugin or a plex plugin?

It's a Sage plugin for Plex. Assuming you have Plex Media Server installed, you can have Plex "scan/identify" (and thus, stream through Plex) SageTV recordings with this plugin:

I guess I do not have that Problem because upon completion of recording shows I rename then appropriately (using SGQ3)... so all I had to do was add my sage recording libraries to Plex... regardless if they Include Movies. It separates the movies and tv shows based on naming convention.

Ex new names below.

Movies
A Few Good Men (1992) -728012-0

Series
Alfred Hitchcock Presents - S02E22 - End of Indian Summer-1360233-0

Thanks for this thread. I recently got a Note II from work and want to add it to my Sage hobby. I think I'll start with Plex and the Plex plugin.

[jbuszkie]

I got it to work... I think.. It's still importing. I'll have to look into the renaming thing.. I like the idea of that..

SJQ3 Rule [etc]

Nice! Thanks for sharing those!

[nyplayer]

The Control etc.. I use to stop all scripts from running not needed unless you want to use it . I just move a file by that name to c:\control

&& FileExists != "C:\\controls\\Stoprunning.txt"


PS the reason I use to check for VPrj instead of edl is that VPrj is created upon normal completion of comskip.

Darn.. I'm running SJQ4.. Thanks though....

Doesn't SJQ4 have the ability to pass variables to a batch file? Or I think you can do the rename with an SJQ4 Groovy script.
