Needs a computer running? That's so 2000
Used VLC for years on my PC. Wanted to stream movies to my tv, but you need to have a PC on and running, with a 'helper' file installed on it.
It won't recognize my NAS hard drive on my network. Sorry VLC, think I'll stick with Infuse for now.Bringdanoiz
Could be great...
Hey, here's an app that works, does pretty much what it says. What more could you want? Easy. Put a price on it and don't trick people into downloading it and then hit them with ads for things they will never use, and, this is the important bit, pay for. I would have happily paid for this app, but there are others that do the same job and put their cost upfront.
Need to do much better.Show lessmad4max
Solid app
The way it works is you download a program on your desktop, drag and drop the movies you want to stream to your IPhone, it converts the movies very quickly in iPhone compatible format. Then you use your app to choose the movies you want to stream. No bugs, no issues, fast setup, very reliable. Free version shows a ad at the bottom of your movie. I think the $2 to remove them on the full version is worth it.Show lessAweyeaa
Real review
I downloaded and tried this app
Downloaded the pc helper portion
The idea is great but the execution is flimsy
You must have wifi for this app to work
I dont know how close you have to be to your computer
Its easy to use
You simply find a movie on your computer or harddrive and play it
I have a decent computer and buffering one movie takes a good majority of your cpu power
The quality of the movies are okay at best, thats where the negativity comes from
Unless you want to spend and entire day "converting" or "uploading" your entire movie collection to the computer app helper then youre going to just find a movie and click play and itll buffer as you go
The problem is the movie video quality CONSTANTLY glitches out as it buffers
The movie itself doesnt stop or pause (with mine at least) the video just frequently will pause to lag behind while the sound plays smoothly
Also on the free version a bunch of your screen is cut off and filled with advertisement
This app is cool but could be a hell of alot betterShow lessMasonNasty
Works great A+++++
Works good enough ,quality is very pleasing wile streaming to the iPad via wifi ,the only thing you've got to have a very powerful computer an I7 processor recommended because your computer has to convert al your streaming files in real time ....wish there was a easier way something like team-viewer but still this up will give you a better overall experience You got to have an internet speed of 18 Mbps or better in order to have HD quality renderingShow lessDavid Daniel P
Not Great sadly!
It works, but not perfectly sadly. Videos plays some of time but the trouble I had was with the adverts. I was hoping to watch a load of videos on the way home on the train, but the iAds would load up but not allow me to skip them. In fact they wouldn't even allow me to switch them off meaning I had to force quit the app each time. Gave up in the end as it kept doing it and I couldn't watch any more videos. This experience doesn't bode well with me and I wouldn't pay for the full version as this app didn't fill me with confidence. ShameShow lessVirtualgeezer
Invasive ads
I understand the need to monetize via ads. I really do. I tried to watch one minute of a sample video uploaded on my Dropbox just to give a try, living -disgusted- with an ad bar that takes 20% of my iPad Air 2. Then switching back to the videos list a fullscreen ad of 10 seconds popped out. I'm an user of VLC since 2001 and I know well its power. I would prefer a demo version with cutted features, limited time usage or whatever, and I will probably consider buying the full version. These ads-everwhere pratices do not push me to try then buy the full version, it just pushed me in hurry to remove it from my device. I really can't stand invasive ads. This is a turndown. Deleting and looking for other solutions.Show lessRawSketch
One of the BEST practical Apps for iPhone and iPad
The original installation had a few complications, however persistence prevails !
The original issue may have been caused by a firewall, however by using the helper guide that accompanies the product as well as online searching some of the messages (changing a few setting in VLC itself) it worked !!!!!
Now I can go room to room with the iPad and have a moving entertainment system to connect to any LCD screen !
Totally awesome !
Your installation may be far smoother than mine as I do have a dynamic firewall.
Defenitly worth the download and the purchase.Show lessMongooseXII
Gone from a prefect app to trash.
When you update an app that is normally a sign it's been improved. But not in this case.
Being able to manage subtitles has been removed or hidden.
Adding and removing media fills my iPad with "other data" so I have to uninstall this app every time I want to change the media on it.
I understand need to monetise but a ad at the beginning, end and a banner ad is a bit much especially when your watching 20 min episodes. Also the first ad plays with the sound from the video you've just started as well as the sound from the ad.
If your watching a list of videos (e.g a tv series) it doesn't just start the next one you have to come out and start the next one. Which doesn't sound like much of an issue but when you've got a list of 40 episodes it gets annoying.
AirPlay only works on the paid version
And now it's just stopped playing videos all together. Every time I start one now it just kicks me out.
Give us back the original vlc player and just add in some advertising and I would of been happy.
I love vlc player and I have used it for years so I would of had no problems putting some money into it but not when it doesn't work properly.Show lessHannibalVexor
