I can view pictures and documents, but videos just will not stream. I'm running Windows 8 and have a private LAN networks setup.

I've tried everything that I can think of to get this to work, and nothing has yet.

I think I might have a problem with holding incoming connections, because when I try to play CS:GO on LAN I'm unable to host the game, everyone else is unable to connect.


Any ideas?
 
How about some more information? How are you connected, what is on your network, where are the videos you're trying to stream coming from and going to?
 
From Windows 8 to either Windows 7 or Android 4.4.

The videos are not in a public place, and putting them into a public folder doesn't help. I'm connected to WiFi for all of the devices through a D-link router with DD-WRT installed.

The videos are a mix of MP4, MKV, FLV, and AVI.



Thanks for replying.
