  • Streamerific

    It's definitely the best app for doing streaming of any content to your iPad. Now I can have my home movies (in pretty much any format) on a desktop and I can sit in bed watching movies streaming to my iPad. Now I just need a stand for my iPad.
  • Love it

    Brilliant app, I absolutely love it
  • No sound

    I have tried many times to stream movies in wmv, mov, and still I am not getting any sound. Please update the program to fix this problem, whatever I do I am not hearing any sound at all.
  • Works great for me..

    A wee problem when I changed the default play directory to another one to get it off my
    C drive wouldn't recognise the port for some reason - but a reboot fixed that.

    Not sure if there is a limit on how many "recent movies" get stored in the streaming directory.
    If it is not limited I'd like the ability to remove movies via my IPad so I don;t end up with Gigs and Gigs
    of duplicated movies.

    However overall - it's working like a charm and you can't beat the price.

  • Nice try

    Would br great if it worked, like so many things in this life.

    Connected no problem but just turned over and over saying it was procesing for about 5 minutes until it then said it couldn't do it. I tried it with several different file types of varying lengths but to no avail. I will keep my eye on it as I really think I'd use it. I didn't use the remote for a few months then when I tried it no longer worked. Ended up getting someone else's version of that. Wonder if another lot will fix this, too.

  • Boring

    There's nothing really wrong with the app I suppose. It plays shows, it may be nice for some to be able to select the bandwidth and resolution. Here's where the problem comes in. It brings nothing new to the table. It does the same thing Airvideo, Cinexplayer, and Zumocast do and offers nothing unique like those players do. In a sea of these type of programs its presented itself as the new minnow in a fleet of sharks. I'd give it one star, but its not a faulty program, its functional, it does what it says it does. Its just boring and not something I'd expect from VLC.

    Addendum: I did run into a minor issue with the PC software. I downloaded it, installed itand started conversion of my first movie. After a short time, I stopped running the program and server, however, it did not remove itself from my active programs and had to be forced shut. Very disappointing.

  • Pretty Good

    This app is OK in my book. It is pretty simple for an above basic user to use without any intructions, and easy for a basic PC user to use with a little help. Security with this app is verified, you can set a password so only you can access your PC with it to watch movies, and you can even choose the quality you wish to view them. Maybe you have high speed connection and want to watch a high res video on your iPod/iPad/iPhone, just choose taht option. Or maybe you want the lowest and fastes speed for a low speed connection, choose taht option. It is very simple to use. I love this app, but two things make it a 3-star rating; 1: Did not automatically detect my computer and 2: SOmetimes to exit a screen you must close the app, there is no back button. For issue "1", you can just easily enter your IP address of your computer manually, super easy. And for "2", not much of a big deal. Overall, I love this app and will for sure be useing it. I am very picky about apps, and this one passes to be on my iPod Touch.

    I'm Dominic, and I reccomend this app
