Mobile streaming Apps setup:

Any device that supports DLNA/Upnp or RTSP urls can be used to view NetPlay mobile streams.  We have specific instructions for iOS and Android below.

• iOS setup
• Android setup
• Generic DLNA/Upnp player
• Generic RTSP player

iOS

The preferred app is VLC for iOS.

1. (one time setup only) Install the app from the app store (VLC)
2. Run the app
3. (one time setup only) Go to the settings page, select "lowest latency" for caching level
4. To play a source, select "local network".  This will scan the network for DLNA sources (may take a few seconds)
5. Select the NetPlay source (actual name configured in VM setup)
6. Select the named source

Android

The preferred apps are VLC for Android and UpnPlay.

1. (one time setup only) Install the apps from the Play store
2. (one time setup only) Run VLC
3. (one time setup only) Go to the settings page, select full hardware acceleration and make the performance tab match the screen shot below.
4. Run UpnPlay
5. To play a source, select "Libary".  This will scan the network for DLNA sources (may take a few seconds)
6. Select the NetPlay source (actual name configured in VM setup)
7. Select the named source
8. If it asks to select a renderer device, select "VLC" or "Android Player"
9. (alternate method)  Using VLC only, enter the rtsp stream to play directly in "network stream"

Generic DLNA players

Any program/app that supports either DLNA or Upnp should work.  Open the app and select local network scan.  The NetPlay system will show up as a content directory.  Browse into this directory to see and select the individual sources.  Your player must be capable of playing h.264 rtsp streams.

Generic RTSP players

Any program/app/device that supports h.264 rtsp streams (with AAC audio) should work.  You can get the URL from the Virtual matrix page.  Enter these URLs on your player to display each source.
