Qloud Media Free

Qloud Media Free is a versatile app designed to stream videos, music, and pictures directly from your PC to your Android device. It eliminates the need to copy or encode your media, ensuring easy access to your content anytime and anywhere you desire. The setup is straightforward: install the necessary server software on your PC, and you're ready to stream over Wi-Fi or 3G networks.

The platform shines in compatibility, supporting a wide array of video (AVI, MP4, RM/RMVB, MKV, WMV, MPEG, MPEG2TS), subtitle (SRT, ASS/SSA, SAMI), audio (MP3, MP4, WAV, AAC), and image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP). Transcoding is performed on the fly, which means no waiting for conversions before enjoying your media.

Discovering servers within your local network is automatic, and for remote access, a Qiss PIN code or manual server address and port entry will do the trick. It includes NAT traversal for seamless communication behind routers via UPNP or NAT-PMP protocols.

Additionally, the software offers folder access control tied to user accounts and boasts customization options, including typeface, scale, and encoding configurations for subtitles. Users seeking a feature-rich experience may be interested in the full version, offering perks such as ad-free usage, file name search capabilities, image export options, advanced video gesture control, support for multiple themes, and compatibility with Google TV.

Ensure your device can run the free version before opting for the full version upgrade. Note that streaming capabilities do not extend to DRM-protected files, and while it may support other formats beyond the official list, these are not guaranteed. For the best video streaming quality, a dual-core processor is advised. If you encounter any issues with 3G streaming, you may need to look into port-forwarding tutorials; the default port for streaming is TCP 8888. Qloud Server is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista/7/8 and Mac OS X (10.7 or later).
