How to play DVD in PC Optical drive over LAN on Nexus 7 13 android tablet?

[hibbs]

I have shared the DVD in the PC (win xp pro) on the network and installed Wondershare player on the Nexus 7 2013 (Lollipop). Navigating to the video_ts folder any ifo or vob file fail to open.

I have no problem playing a DVD in the PC on a TV with Western Digital Live TV or an LG Smart TV Upgrader.

Help or informative links will be appreciated.

Thanks, John.

Try with VLC for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon

Try MX player for Android also. Available at google play store. I think it is free also.

Might still be unavailable over network due to android / player limitation.

Currently this method works for dvd and menu's.

Other than this you need an application running on the main pc to transcode dvd on the fly to a suitable format for the android device to play it from over the network.
