Install VLC for Window and Linux. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.videolan.org/" rel="ugc">http://www.videolan.org/</a> &nbsp;It's free and open sourced.<br />
<br />
Load the video into VLC on Windows and go to the menu to select Stream/Export Video.<br />
<br />
On the linux side you can view the stream, also with VLC, or another client. &nbsp;There's a player available for iOS and beta version for android. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html" rel="ugc">http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html</a>

Not sure if this is possible but is there a way to stream a video file e.g. VOB file from a Windows 8 PC over wifi to an android tablet or phone (Samsung Galaxy Tab or S3)?<br />
<br />
Cheers.

Stream video from Windows to Android

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
