I use Ubuntu12.10 with Gnomeshell.
Installed latest version of samba share, configured to share my Video folder, access restricted via login (uid and password needed).
SMB share accessed via Solid explorer when I tried to open the video file (size 600MB, type MKV) the player used BS Player MX Player were not able to play the file.. it says buffering and stops...
Any one has a solution to play video from Shared drive on Android?
From any share can be used, I am referring Samba sharing as an example – Ajo Mathew – 2012-11-26T14:12:33.563
1I use File Manager HD by Rhythm Software. It works flawlessly with VLC for Android and MX Player. I'd recommend that file manager instead as it actually streams the file to the device rather than actually downloading it to the device. – Brutick – 2012-11-26T14:53:45.050
