Default DLNA player for Android?

Ok, I use TVersity/PS3 Media Server to share my media to my TV/PS3/360 for viewing on the TV, and now i'm using PlayON to eventually replace it.

I was wondering if there is an app that anyone knows of for Android that will play DLNA shared content (over 3G/Wifi)

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated

now i just have to find a set of TV cables for my Incredible

Twonky works for PS3 but not 360.

sorry, i should have clarified, I want to be able to see my media server content on my phone, not from my phone to my PS3/360.

Thanks though, i may have to look that server up

I think I recall reading the Samsung Galaxy S will include a DLNA client and server app.

While I have DLNA on my Samsung TV, every search i did for the DLNA component of Galaxy S says sharing to the living room, not the phone.

I need it to be from the PC server to the phone via DLNA, not the other way around
Thanks for the info though, didn't know Samsung was making an app for Android

i hope to find one

one thing i found interesting while searching through the list of managed applications on my Incredible was, I found that theres an application similar to the one on Windows Mobile by HTC called "Streaming Media Player by HTC" but i can't find anywhere to run the application, its like its "hidden"

Talking Free player that works on Galaxy tab

Try Vplayer (free) that was just released on the market. If your server or NAS has basic http viewer (Twonky or otherwise) you can navigate to your media files through a browser and long click on your file and select vplayer as your preferred player. This has worked flawlessly on my galaxy tab.
Also if you have access to the pay market I've seen that Plug player was just released that should be able to playback videos straight of the server without the need for browser access.
This was the last thing my tab wasn't able to do so now it's complete and perfect..

Hey I know what you're looking for, however no great solution for Android yet, the following is a list of programs which will work, but none are perfect, a lot have some features not all, and 3g streaming is sketchy, anyway check em out see if any work for you.

Qloud video
RedDONUT
PLEX
MIRAGE
VLC Remote

I am still hoping airvideo will someday become available for android, this is the perfect app for this in iOS

Look up upnplay on the market. I've been using it for a couple months now and it works perfectly for me.

That app is used to watch videos through the browser such as Skyfire in Android mode rather than Desktop mode.
