Great app with great support!
Had problems installing this app at first. Almost gave up but decided to contact Hobbyist via their forum. Their customer support is outstanding. Their technichian logged into my computer remotely and fixed the problem right up! App works great. Couldnt be more pleased!!The Boggman
Great
Hi guys, this is a great app,
i'm using the free version though,,,!
here your computer acts as Server and the Mobile VLC streamer acts as a client ,,,
the only thing you need is to leave your PC turned ON with some movies you like- that's it, even if it is locked , you can still access the drives...!
I have only 4 stars because, it is not working for my iPhone 5 LTE connection, works fine with wifi, and I have to check whether both the devices should be in the same network/ connected over same wifi like air mouse- wireless mouse software,,, means when you are traveling, you are in another institution/office network/ wifi hotspots and can still access your drive.
Hope there will be an update which can be used over 4G or LTE too.!Show lessraja777m
Excellent - great result
Works perfectly for what I needed. Simple browse of computers folders from iPad and select file. Watch video on iPad. Simple. Will copy file to iPad too if you want.
Now looking for similar photo app.TrevorPerth
Useful
I really like vlc, all their products on pc and tablet alike.
That said, this is great for streaming if you have wifi ( I use it quite often). You can have your digital collection on your computer (which we do on our htpc) and have the option of viewing any of the collection on iPad without taking up the space.
Few dislikes:
If you don't have a speedy connection, this wont work for you
The ads, and badgering to upgrade...this is intentional of course as there is no benefit to the creator if not.
The picture often pixelates (once per 5 minutes or so). Still fine enough that I use it and find it useful.Show lessKevin89841
Why?
I like this app. But, 1. Why would I want to be able to sit at home and watch this from my iPad. When I can watch it from my laptop just as easily and I could hook my laptop up to a tv.
2. Why should it be just at home that I can watch any movie that I have. Why can it not play over any wifi connection as long as my computer was up and running.
3. Is there a way that if I wanted to download the movie or show to my pad and watch it through this app that I could. And if so how do I do that?Show lessPrincess Pepper
Great APP 😎
Installed VLC software on my PC and... drag and drop all movies I want to stream during the day, when back home just choose what I want to copy to my iPhone (when phone is charging over night) then on the morning all movies waiting for me in my iPhone - excellent !!!
Second way - I'm in my living room want to copy movies to iPhone ... just browse my PC folder from iPhone and tap tap ... copying to my iPhone
Really good app and all people complaining about this or that don't work - they don't know how to configure this software.
Really good app for NOT STUPID PEOPLE 😛Show lessKML666
Works great, best interface and ease of use
No it's not affiliated with VLC, but not as confusing as others tend to rate it as. Run the helper app on the host computer and your off, set your folder for conversion to ample size for more than one video stream if need. It also will all you to choose other network shares from within the host, just know your speed will be based from network transfer and recoding, as well as playing back transfer speed.
Other apps charged more, didn't work, or allowed only a view of locked amount view time.
Only thing I would add is 3G connection and allow stream over Internet , if it does, than I have not set up for that yetShow lessCAMXposure™
Didn't work
Installed the helper app on my PC (which also installed .net!) and tried to stream videos to my 4S without success. Did all the troubleshooting steps but it was all too much hassle. You need to be a network geek to get this working, and I'm not.
Oh, and it converts all videos first before streaming them. This means you can't just stream a folder of videos as they are; you need to specify each video individually first and WAIT for them to be converted.
Waste of time.Show lessPSBApple
Great video streamer!
After trying other video streamers, I tried this one. I've been happy with this one for over a year! I'm using a clunky, late 2007 MacBook - once the videos are processed on the MacBook, which can be done at my convenience, VLC Streamer plays them as we'll as if not better than the MacBook!ColorPics99
On iPhone it is a tiny bit sticky
What I mean by that is its a tiny bit stops every few seconds for tiny milliseconds while I'm watching smallville. It isn't smooth enough. Maybe a different type of setting would help. I originally got this app to stream tv shows to my iPad mini (I've ordered it). I hope it's more smooth on ipadYummy2000
