You should try ArkMC DLNA UPnP Media Center.It's really helps me out.Thing why I like this thing is it allows us to easily access, stream, share, manage and enjoy multimedia content, such as pictures, music and videos throughout my home network.Here is the link to Playstore
since I love linux, and am an avid tux geek, I use vlc remote app yeah you have to open your vlc program and enable web interface everytime you wanna use it, on whatever computer OS your using(that's the best part works on any OS that vlc runs on), but you get full access to either watch files from your phone onto the computer or vice versa.

Rather good DLNA player - ArkMC
Works with WMP and is actually all in one (controller, player, server)
Tried with Xbox360, just needs windows media center on ArkMC
I use Serviio Media Server for my PC to droid/PS3/otehr devices and such. To use some features you have to purchase, but the DLNA feature is on the free version. I tried ORB, TVersity, and a few others. I always got protocol errors one after another with those but Serviio, bascially, was install it and mark the folders you want in the library and its good to go. I purchased it, for like, $25 for lifetime or something and use the web browser part of it. I was sitting in my hotel last week watching Jackie Chan Movies from my laptop and it also has an app on android. But to do all that you will to do dynamic dns and port forward and stuff but its pretty awesome.
This will not work because file managers such as Astro simply send a file path to the video player. Astro itself can understand the samba protocol, so can see and transfer files from samba sever. However, when you click on a file to open it, it sends the samba path to the video player, but the video player does not understand this protocol and so fails.
I would suggest you ArkMC. It is a media streaming app which supports DLNA-compliant devices of the network ( PS3, PS4, Xbox360, Xbox One, HD TVs ). Also is integrated with Youtube.
I have been using ArkMC for couple of months and am completely satisfied. What I do appreciate is that you stream all kinds of media like movies, photos, music whatever. Plus you can watch youtube cause it is integrated with the app. I often stream audio files on my Xbox.
