now that XBMC is running on Android I'm trying to set up my phone so it can play content that sits on a server at home. With XBMC officially supporting so many different streaming protocols I can't seem to find a scenario that will work for me.
Here's my setup.
Home PC behind firewall (no problem forwarding ports if need be) with all my media
XBMC running on my Galaxy S3 that I want to play TV shows that are sitting on home server.
Can I use UPnP and just forward a port? (I thought that UPnP was for local LAN only. Could be wrong)
Can I use windows share?
I can setup FTP but I'm now sure how well that would work.
