Stream Movies/Music from PC

kippy · 2011-11-16 17:13:34

Hi All, I was wondering is anyone aware of an app (possibly some kind of client server thing and ideally free) that will allow me to stream a movie from my home PC on my android device while I am either in the house or ideally outside of it also? Kippy

I use Plex

It's not free but it seems to work the best for me. You need to install a server component on your PC and point it at your media folders. You can open the port on your firewall so it's accessible on the internet.

Also you can use EStrongs to map to a network share and play straight from that. I wouldn't share that outside your house though.
