Emit for Android
This app does not work with Windows 10 unfortunately. It worked great with 7 and 8, even 8.1. I've heard a rumor the devs are working on fixing this, but the last update for this app was about 3 years ago. Don't get your hopes up, this will probably never work with Windows 10.
Used to work, but my phone now (Samsung I9500 Running Cyanogenmod 12 android 5.0.2) can't detect the server on lan, and when I try to stream over the internet, it keeps saying waiting for response. And nothing happens after I wait! Thanks devs for a Great App!
Used to work fine but now get WRONG PIN OR NO INTERNET CONNECTION every time i try to use it. Support has disappeared from website, seems to be abandoned from a developer point of view. Shame as was a great application.
Good app, works well, but I'd love to see the ability to cast from it. The programs usability surpasses many others that I have tried, but it's Achilles heal is it's inability to cast to Chrome cast, Apple TV, etc...
Utterly useless now. I've re installed on a new computer and it completely stopped working. Can't even access locally. Emailed multiple times, no answer.
Brilliant. Plain. Simple. Works easily. Just needs to be able to play audio in landscape screen rotation.
I've used air video for a while. I've put his software on a machine without firewall, but my Samsung s7 emit client does not see the server at all on local network. I really don't have a clue. My computers are all shared with network drives and the like, nothings really restricted. Phones on bridged network. I run a Plex server and air video, but this is the one that doesn't work. I don't think its opendns either since its over local network. Looks like I'm down few bucks if I can't fix this.
I used to love this app, but as of the last update it will no longer connect to a pin server. When I connect locally, it shows all my shared files, but when I try to play any of them it gives me a "Something went wrong!" error and goes back to the file folder. It was great, but it's worthless in current form.
No updates for a long time. Developer no longer supports Emit? I can no longer download files because the minimenu doesn't open. MKV videos do not use subtitles. Most frustrating is that this app makes my Nexus 7 and Motorola Moto E force restart after 30min of use. Please continue development on this app! It used to be great!
I had to uninstall the Emit server from my desktop, went to the website and the page won't load for the windows version of the server. This app is useless without the server version!
This is an awesome app, I've even purchased it. The problem I have now is that the Windows client file is no longer available from their site. I've mailed them with no response. Without the Windows client files the app is utterly useless. Sigh
Been using this for years now but still get buffering and video freezing even on lowest bit rate settings on at least half the videos. Even used it in Japan connected to a server in Connecticut but it had serious buffering issues even on WiFi on low settings. Also would be great to have a port forwarding warning in the description or even a tutorial. I've noticed a great lack of customer support and app updates. You've cornered the market on Android media streaming. Please don't let this app die.
Very good steaming app my family and myself have used the paid for copy for over 1 year now on a Samsung s4/s5/6 also on 2x 10.1 zenithink tablets c91/94 have found that the emit server app 1.16 ( windows 10 )is broken rolled back to emit 1.12 and its fully working again after getting the " something is wrong error "
PIN connectivity seems to have stopped working, tried resetting everything, every other remote access app I use still working.
It does not work and the developers do not reply to your questions.
very rare it connect to the server, very buggy, please learn from the ios app called air video. I wish I had that official app for Android.
Well the description says it all. Don't buy.
This thing is great. Works perfectly over Mobile Data and Wifi. The PIN system is great so you don't have to deal with port forwarding. I've never had an issue getting this to work. The webplayer alone is worth getting this app. Use it nearly every day.
They haven't for a while now. They used to
Like many others I've wasted lotsa time on " the rest " - Now I've got " the best " Really hard to fault. Together with the desktop server its the ultimate streamer!

Add Cast functionality, and back up to 5 stars. Don't really use it over cellular data, so my comments on that subject would be invalid. Over wifi however, via LAN or WAN it works exceptionally well. The web app is great too. Keep up the great work dev! :)
Best streaming app out there.

A great improvement. It is a pleasure to upgrade rating to a 5 star.
Ótimo App! O buffer é fixo, não é inteligente. Ele não analisa as configurações feitas para definir o tempo de buffer. Resultado, em alta qualidade, o vídeo fica travando. Faltou também uma opção de Play contínuo para vídeo ou Playlist. Uso no Mac com Android na TV. Dica para rodar em baixa. Bitrate dos dois em 800 e resolução 560. Great App! But the buffer time is the same for all settings, it's not intelligent. It's don't analyze your settings to set new buffer time. Result, the video stop many times on
I personally prefer Air video on iOS but on Android its this or a third party app for Air Video. This is good, but needs a UI update.
Program seems to have stopped being able to connect to pin server from all android devices. Bad password... Reinstalled server and client then started getting no pin or no Internet error.

Great program, works just as Airvideo does for those switching from iOS and want a solid alternative. Would give it 5 stars if it had a airplay type support to push to TV.
Great server app for my music. App works great would like to see a little interface update but app works fine definitely worth paying for the full version
It worked great for a year. It suddenly stopped seeing my computer and even when using the PIN system it sees the comp but just hangs trying to load it. The app hasn't been updated in 2 years and there's no support online.

I used to like the app but for the last 4 months I have the nexus 9 and 6 on lolipop and this app is very very slow on both, this is one of a very app I ever used that crashes my devices. If you click too fast on folders you get error messages and the quality of the videos is terrible too.
Well was working ok except server took forever to configure properly. But videos (1080p) quality would always buffer literally every 2-5sec. It's not device or WiFi as I now use bubblepnp and omg no buffering crystal clear video and best thing is that the program is free. Save your money. Emit is uninstalled forever!
I have 2 computers on my LAN that I want to stream videos from. One can be accessed with no problems. The other gives message "Looks like empty. Try refresh it." That computer has many videos, none can be recognized by Emit. All apps have some bugs. It's how the developer fixes them and IF THEY RESPOND TO MESSAGES SENT TO THEM that determines its worth. You decide.
I was very sad when Motocast was discontinued, and this is the perfect replacement!! Thankyou!
Quality of streaming video is often abysmal and unwatchable.
Used to work, but my phone now (Samsung I9500 Running Cyanogenmod 12 android 5.0.2) can't detect the server on lan, and when I try to stream over the internet, it keeps saying waiting for response. And nothing happens after I wait! Thanks devs for a Great App!
