I used my Transformer to watch via UPnP for a bit.  VPlayer was the only video 
player I found to play MPEG-TS, I don't think it liked the NuppelVideo 
container at all.  I wrote a user job to encode to a pure mpeg4 video and 
RockPlayer and UPnPlay managed, just about.

I haven't worked out what codecs the default UPNP program that comes with the 
Transformer can play, but it can browse the lists available from the backend.
