    Question Streaming HD Video over LAN

    Hi guys, little help if you can. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (has latest updates) and I am trying to stream HD videos over my network to the tablet.

    I have found the videos etc fine but I am getting very choppy and unwatchable playback with any programs I try. I have done this before with a laptop no problem so it is obviously something to do with the bandwidth that the tablet is able to use?

    Anyone have any advice on fixing this or is tablets just a waste of time with anything other than browsing the web? The easy scenario is to just put the files on the tablet but this defeats the purpose a bit.

    Thanks for your help.

    Re: Streaming HD Video over LAN

    You have probably tried it already, but its worth copying one of the jerky files to your tablet and playing from internal memory, just to make sure its happy with the file. I use ES file explorer to access my NAS drive and play 1080p video files with MX player, thats on a nexus 7.

    Re: Streaming HD Video over LAN

    I use the same programs as you mate with no luck. The files play fine from internal memory though.

    Re: Streaming HD Video over LAN

    Thats odd, have just tried a 1080p x264 and it worked fine, most of my stuff is 720. Any difference if your are a couple of feet from the wifi hub/switch/box/thing?
