About UPNP Browser
UPNP Browser connects to all media enabled devices on your network and allows streaming content directly to the phone or tablet. With this App it is possible to view pictures, play music or watch a video stored on a UPNP enabled device.
Video support is limited, it is recommended to install MXPlayer or VPlayer as these are specialised video playback Apps with far superior CODEC support. If installed UPNP Browser will allow you to select you’re referred player instead of using the native VideoView.
The intention of the developer was to create a lightweight UPNP application, the APK is less than 1MB. There is no persistent storage of browsed UPNP results, no cache file consuming valuable storage space! All UPNP browsed results are live which also means that there is no fancy album or cover art, just simple folder and file icons. Movie, music and picture files appear as scorllable lists, see the screenshots for an idea of what to expect.
This app does not claim to be DNLA certified and is in the early stages of development. Please help the developer by providing constructive comments that will assist in further improving the App. All feature requests will be considered!
PLEASE NOTE: UPNP Browser does not contain any media, all pictures/photo's/music and movies are streamed from UPNP Devices located on your network. For example PC's set to share content, NAS boxes, XBMC/KODI, Twonky Media etc.
Required Permissions-
# full network access - for obvious reasons, needs to connect to and stream from UPNP devices
# allow Wi-Fi Multicast reception - required to contact UPNP devices
# prevent tablet from sleeping - you wouldn't want it to switch off whilst streaming!

... unless I'm missing something, it can't play entire albums. It just plays the selected track. It would be good to have a few settings, particularly font size - the writing is huge on my Galaxy S4. If I jump around tracks in an album too much it returns an indexoutofbounds error. Very lightweight and fairly stable. Quick to recognise and grab the index of available servers.

My server sends 160x160 jpg thumbs with the same name as the video along with music sending their thumbs. Showing those and having the track skip buttons work would make this perfect for my kids to play content I have hosted on my Asus router.

No other app in the market detects windows media player share on this huawei ideos S7 slim, running CM9 by asturel. On the downside; crashes quite frequently, the layout is not landscape tablet optimize, no feedback when a button is pressed & no option to select all. Thank you.

Does not save any information to the device and so there is no cover art like over apps, instead files are presented as a simple list with icons. Fast and easy to use.

It discovers files on upnp servers and pass them to local applications. Simple as should be and what I was looking for. For example you can watch videos from upnp server via VLC, while VLC does not support it directly.
