Video Streaming from PC to Android Phone

Video Streaming from PC to Android Phone



Steps to Stream Videos From Computer to Android

Step 1: Make sure both your computer and droid is connected to the same Wi-Fi network and thendownload and install Emit App on your Android and the Emit server  on your computer. The Emit app is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Step 2: Run the Emit server on your computer and check Server Running option to start Emit.  Click on the Add Dir button to add the folders that contain your video you want to stream on your Android. If you want to share your iTunes Library, check the corresponding option.


Step 3: Take a note of the local Wi-Fi IP address you are connected to. The easiest way to know your computerÕs local IP address is using the ipconfig command on the command prompt.



Step 4: Now launch the Emit app on your Android device. If you are lucky, the app will be able to add your computer as a server automatically but if that doesnÕt happen, press your phoneÕs setting soft key and select Add Server to do the task manually. Further select Local Server and enter your computerÕs Wi-Fi address. The name of the computer can be any alias that will help you remember which computer you are connecting to. This helps when you have servers running on more than one computer.


Note: If your app is not able to connect to your computer, please check if a firewall is blocking the network access of Emit.
Step 5: Once you are connected to your computer, the app will list all the folders that are shared by the server. Now just navigate to your video and touch it to play.


The videos will play like itÕs playing from your SD card but when you try to forward or rewind the video you may encounter some delay(for buffering). If you are using the ad-supported version, you can see some ads in the menu and on videos but if you like the app you may go for the pro version and enjoy your videos ads-free.
