![]() I can see this working well with maybe as little as 100 Kbps. StreamToMe is an app for Windows, Mac OSX, and iOS that lets you stream music and video files (in a wide variety of formats) live from another computer. My ISP only gives me a 50 Kbps upload speed, so movies play for a while, then stop, hit play and they play for another bit, then stop again. It's nice to be able to play any of my movies when I'm at school or work. When I connect to the server from my iPad (using a VPN connection) the native iOS "Videos" app shows my home library and I can play my movies from anywhere. plus you could use the iPad as remote if you have a pc running plex or XBMC hooked up to a tv. the system apps are free you only pay for your iPad app. StreamToMe - Use StreamToMe on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to play video, music and photo files streamed over WiFi or Cellular from any Mac or. Both would give you the freedom to stream to your iPads as well as other pcs. While StreamToMe is a client app that designed only for iPad/iPhone, if want to use StreamToMe on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to play files from a Mac, you need to install its companion app - ServeToMe to turn your Mac into a media server. Now, in Mac OS X 10.8, everything "just works." I did a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.8, installed the Server app, setup the VPN service, added my movies (stored on a Time Capsule) to iTunes (without copying the movies to the server no need to duplicate what's already in Time Capsule), and enabled home sharing. have you ever thought of using something like Plex media server or XBMC. So, I could not watch the movies in my home iTunes library while away from home. In Mac OS X 10.7, installing the Server app, enabling the VPN service, and connecting remotely with an iOS device using VPN did not provide Bonjour discovery of any home shared iTunes libraries.Ī number of Bonjour redirector apps were available but none of them worked for me.
