Yep, I use several Xbox XBMCs on my LAN to stream video content over Samba. I want to do the same on my Android phone. On 19 December 2013 18:23, Michael Daffin wrote: > No, samba can stream media raw, it is normally the client not supporting it > that is the issue. > > On 19 Dec 2013 17:51, "Jos

Hi All, Hope this is not too off-topic (it does involve Android and a Linux server so...). Can anyone recommend an app that will allow me to watch a video file using VLC on my Android phone, where the video file is on my Samba LAN server? I'd tried a few apps and while they allow me to browse my
