Emit Free

Now free streaming from your local server is cool, but you just need to improve the server software for windows a bit, some UI will help for new users to easy install this thing...and make sure to add step by step installation on ur software. Thanks and keep building :)

No matter what type of video I try to play, it always seems to give me an unclearly defined error about not being able to play it. Videos are usually 10-bit h.264 and it doesn't seem to transcode.anything to make it work on mobile devices. Soo... Good idea, but seems to fail completely on my setup.

This is the first app of this kind that I've used and everything ran perfect for me. I'm running a 100mbps connection so connection is smooth with no lag. TO ALL THE PEOPLE WITH SUBTITLES PROBLEMS, your SRT file has to be in the same file as your video, has also be the same name as your video file! Sure the video quality ain't the best but you don't expect to have a HD 1080p quality streamed on your phone now do you?? And for the people complaining about ads.... Its free... Don't be complaining about ads...

This app is broken for years. It was great a few years ago, but now I can't get anything to connect. PERIOD.

This app requires that your device has a Menu button, but many android devices have only App Switch and Back buttons, making Emit impossible to use.

Simple and easy to use, great way to save space on my Note3! I'd give 5 stars if it showed a light Grey color to show how much has buffered.

Easy to use and works well. Had no delay, lag or stutters. Ads I get but the ad banner is huge and very much annoying. Will keep looking for an ad free alternative. Edit, have been unable to stream anything for a while now, send to be broken. Keep getting a , something went wrong error.

Used to work well when I had windows 7. I could just use my phone to access all the media in my laptop. Now it doesn't even connect and the Devs have stopped updating so there doesn't seem to be a fix. Don't waste your time.

have opened the port, but still no connection. next time i start the app, all my setup is gone. in other words, it doesnt work with my windows 10

This app started out really well but has degraded since. Not sure why but it doesn't seem to play the same quality it used to and the ads pop up once you sit down aka really annoying. Replaced. Bittorrent sync is more practical for most of the uses of this app.

Downloaded server, installed, got local ip adress, put it on the app error message server can't be found. I thought this would be a good replacement for plex but can't even find my server.

Edt: has anyone had issues with Emit after upgrading to OSX mavericks? I have a strong internet connection and now my nexus 7 2013 and galaxy mega 6.3 stutter and pause frequently.

Don't know where to start compaining about this utter shite just glad I didn't buy the paid app waste of time uninstalled

It's became crap..it worked fine a few years earlier..bt recently whenever I tried to stream something through it, it opens the player window..stating 'buffering' but after a few moments it suddenly closes the screen showing a message "can't play the video, something went wrong". Gonna search for a replacement.

Used to work, but now it fails after trying to buffer.

Crashes continuosly. Forced to use emit player, which is very bad

The app crashes a lot and forces my phone to restart.

PIN server doesn't work anymore and the windows download link on the emit website does not work. Local play is fine but I've been trying to set this up to watch stuff when I'm on the go. Fix the PIN server and the download link and you'll get five stars. It USED to work, and it was fine. I long ago used it for a Galaxy Prevail (the first one) so videos had to be down-sized on the fly, but I have a Galaxy S4 now so its pretty much just a straight stream as none of my videos are over 1080p.

Does not work. Refresh button does nothing server is installer and runnug with 10 folders of media none show up. Manual add server does not work either

This app is great. Tried the free version and have since purchased the ad-free version. Encoding on PC side makes playback smooth and lag free. Haven't found a video it cannot play. Highly recommended to anyone looking to stream video to their android device.

I'm amazed by the smoothness of the app and the server. Maybe its because Im using high-end hardware on both devices. The ads people talking about never appeared on my screen for some reason

Worked great. Stopped Working. Client update, works great. Doesnt work again.

It works! It works! It works! Perfectly....what more do you have to know?

doesnt connect with cyanogenmod 10.2. UPDATE: disabling hide rooting light app made emit work again..

It used to work wonderfully. A recent update killed it. I will change my rating if it gets fixed.

No mention of this in the other reviews make me think they are fake...

This app is great and about the people that complaining about the buffering just change the resolution. But now i have a problem since yesterday it doesnt see the server anymore. Please help i use this app everyday before i go to sleep

Nothing works for me trash this app is trash can't find my WiFi can't find nothing 1 star

No confusion with routers and opening new ports or setting protocols. Just install and start streaming over wifi or 4G within minutes!! Might be worth it to buy the app to get rid of the ads.

Hello, is there any plan to support filename/directory name other than english? If it supports, i am already your customer:-)

This app is flawless even on a 2 meg connection problem is people with slow machines and or not enough ram, or not setting enough cores on start up is the issue I repeat not the app it's the user's error

People are complaining about lag and buffering likely have a bottleneck on their host PCs processor or their network. I installed this program on my gaming PC to stream Disney movies to my kiddos tablet. Works flawlessly with my setup. Would recommend to anyone.

It's a simple app that literally requires no effort to install. ^_^

Connected to server...but everything it shows to be buffering even on very low audio and video bitrate ....check out..

Weird how this can make all the other fancy and flashy streaming programs look silly. Simplicity ftw - best quality and consistent bitrate

Easy to use. Subtitles doesn't work most of the time. Crashes a lot

Does what it should, well, fast and free.

Thought I eoilf give this app a second chance since it worked great begore the last release, it still has ads, still runs terrible, and thats after upgrading to a S4. Guess the developer doesnt care.

Work fine, but because of the ads, just 2 stars. Too bad :'(
