    Free (or very cheap) DLNA client Video Player?

    As the title suggests, I'm interested in finding a free - or at least very cheap - video player for Android 2.3 which supports DLNA streaming from a compatible server? I've looked on the Google Play website, but the ones I've tried don't seem to work (or at least, I can't get them to work).

    Which apps have you tried and found not working?
    I've not streamed anything for a long time, but I used to use UPnPlay and an external video player. I'd give UpnPlay and MXplayer a go, together they should be very capable hopefully.
