Streaming movies to Nexus? And to PS3?

[budmonster]

What's the best way to stream movies to the gnex? 1080p mkv files and so on? I use ps3mediasever to stream to my ps3, anything like that for the nexus?

Also, is there any way to stream movies from the gnex to my ps3 or TV? Or do I have to buy a special cable?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about streaming to the GN, but you can get movies to play on your TV from your GN by using a micro USB to HDMI cable.

VLC Direct Pro will do that for you. I use the VLC Direct free as a remote for the player running on my computer connected to my TV. Might buy the pro edition for the extra features (like streaming to the phone) and the app is only $3.57

PS3 Media Server is just a DLNA server and not really tied to the PS3, it works with pretty much anything (and has a decent transcoder so on the server side you may be able to set up a profile just for your GN). Try one of these and see if you can get things working:

I used UPnPlay and VPlayer with prior to PlayOn releasing an app for Android.
