Watching recordings from Media Center PC via DLNA on the Android
MINI PC?

Hi all,
great to have a forum available for this device!
I bought this android dongle to be able to stream video's from
my NAS router and Media Center PC (which both are UPNP and
supports DLNA) to my TV. This construction I already use with my
tablet and phone and is working great. Unfortunately the android
mini pc is playing the video (even if it's a MP4 file...) at a
very slow rate. Is this because of the WIFI connection(-speed)?
How can I overcome this slow playing of video's? Is there
anything I can test or do?
Thanks.

Hi....
good news! I managed to get it working as intended. The setup is
as follows:
-Media Center software in Windows 7 machine (other room of the
house)
-DLNA/UPNP activated
-Wireless router (2 routers for extra wifi power)
-Android mini pc
-DLNA/UPNP browser app
-MX Player app
-LAN speed monitor app
When I first used the Android mini pc, the WIFI connection was
so slow it streamed the recorded video file (.wtv) at a very
slow rate. I added an extra wireless router in my living room to
have a stronger Wifi connection. With the LAN speed monitor I
discovered that you need at least a speed of 350 KB/s. Running
well with 500 KB/s, usually I got an average speed of 1.2 MB/s.
Streaming network video's is no problem at all!
Enjoy.
Regards,
~Eppi~
