       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,
