[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1587259, member: 101749"] I have a App called [URL="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-video-hd/id668354926?mt=8"]Air Video HD[/URL] on my iPad Mini, and with the Server on both my Macs, I can watch ANY video I want to. They are streamed from my iMac or MBP, and all I have to do is, open the Server on my Mac, open Air Video HD, and then add the folders I have movies in, to the App, and they are all accessible. You can either watch them on the fly, or convert them to watch on my iPad Mini at a later date. I now have access to 370 odd movies and 500+ TV shows. I know VLC does the same job, but to be honest, in this instance, you get what you pay for, and I have had nothing but problems with the VLC App, hence me spending a few $ and buying something that I know that works. I use to use Air Video, but they updated it, and now bought the next version they bought out, the [URL="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-video-hd/id668354926?mt=8"]Air Video HD[/URL] version which is so much better UI and so many great features, and worth every cent. Im streaming from my iMac to the other end of the house, off a connected Ext HD, through a Airport Express as a WiFi Extender, and doesn't miss a beat. Just read the reviews on the page :) [/QUOTE]
