[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsox79:
Okay so I didnt really come across alot of central material on how to do this with Nook or if it even could. Since storage capacity is an issue most HD content is probably not going to be getting stored on most users tablets. I would guess that alot of users already have lots of content on their personal computers. If you have a decent wireless router configured correctly it shouldnt be a problem to be able to stream this content to the nook. The nook tablet has a decent amount of ram and the cortex a9 is more than sufficient to stream, so i was bored and figured id give it go.

What you will need to do this

Rooted Nook Tablet 8gb or 16gb shouldnt matter - for documentations sake im running aokp milestone

Personal Computer with somewhat organized media structure

Hanewin NFS Server Easy to setup in windows

BusyBox Installer Latest version of BusyBox - BusyBox Installer is what we used

MX Player seems to be the best android video player ive come across

Neon Codec is compatible with our processor and is necessary for decoding files with dts audio

Its important to organize your movies into a single folder if possible to decrease on mountpoints. If you must use different folders, try and name them movies1 movies2 movies3, etc

After organizing download and install hanewin. Make sure UPnP is enabled on your router it saves you from having to fwd ports later on.

Open Hanewin in the general tab uncheck UDP and check version 2 and 3, and check TCP.

On the server tab, Check "allow mount of remote devices", check "Reset innode table", check "convert windows drive letters", and check "utf-8 charset"

On Exports Tab, click on edit exports file. You need to setup like this:

my\path\towindows\folder -name:movies
my\path\to\someother\windows\folder -name:movies2

once you have entered all of your shares, save the file as exports.

now click restart server button on the right hand side.

you should see your mounts show up in the box.

Now download and install busyboxinstaller on your nook

type in mount script in busybox installer on the scripts tab by clicking the plus sign in the top right

name the script whatever you want

then in the command section type the following: You do not have to put the extra /sdcard/movies2 or so on if you are only mounting 1 folder

mkdir -p /sdcard/movies /sdcard/movies2 /sdcard/movies3 /sdcard/movies4
busybox mount -o nolock,tcp,hard,intr my.pc.ip.address:/myfoldermnt /sdcard/movies

the -p option on mkdir will check to see if the directory exists, if not it will create it

the mount command must be formatted exactly the same swapping out mypcipaddress for your local lan ip, and myfoldermnt for whatever you called your nfs share in your exports file, then mounting on the directory /sdcard/movies

once finished save the script and run it, then use root explorer to check and make sure /sdcard/movies exists and has your nfs content inside

you can set this script to run at boot also, if you are not at home no worries it will just error out and continue booting without you noticing

Setting up the Nook

Download Neon Codec

extract the neon folder to the root of either your internal or external sdcard

Download and install MX Player

Once installed configure it. Your movies may show up in the folder, dont attempt to play them yet.

click on settings and goto decoder

Make sure "Use h/w+ decoder" "h/w decoder local" "correct aspect ratio" are checked and nothing else

Now scroll to the bottom and you should see "custom codec" click it

navigate to the sdcard where neon folder is located. click on neon then click ok once the folder contents are displayed

MX Player is now setup, completely exit out of it

This next step is important because without it the h/w decoder buggers out and you are stuck with software decoder

navigate to main settings for tablet, enable developer options

scroll almost to the bottom and check "disable hw overlays"

now would be a good time to set your custom mount script in busybox installer to run at boot

now restart your nook

Open MX Player and you might not see your content, click the refresh symbol at top right and it should appear

select your movie of choice and go

enjoy full hd movies on your tablet!!!
