There have been many ‘streaming’ apps for iPad and iPhone over the past year, however most are flaky and don’t quite work as expected. VLC, the makers of very popular, and super stable VLC Player have released a VLC Streamer for iPad, and a Windows and Mac client app that runs in the background and does all the hard work for you.
Simply browse your hard drive as you normally would with your iPad, choose your movie or TV show, select your encode quality and wait a few seconds for the video to start to stream. Setup takes no more than 2 minutes. It’s truly brilliant.
It really is that simple, with one extra bonus. The paid-version of the app ($1.99) allows you to download the videos to your iPad and take them on the road with you.
Essential for the traveller in you. Buy this app now.
