It also has an extra tap or two involved in adding the server machine to your list, but it's easy enough to roll forward once you add it.

StreamToMe also follows the iPad UI convention of supporting all navigation and playback in both landscape and portrait modes, so if you want to play back a movie while your iPad is sitting vertically in the dock, you're all set.Īir Video is a landscape-only app, so the dock show is a no-go. You can select three different playback/repeat modes, sort the video list as you like, or 'flatten' the subfolders displayed into one long list of videos (very handy). StreamToMe automatically displays any serving machines on your local network tap on one to display the lists of folders, tap again to see the list of videos. On the iPad side, the app similarity continues the trend of more control on the Air Video side, and more thought-through design on the StreamToMe app is also apparent there. ServeToMe has far fewer controls, but delivers them with a slightly more sleek and modern look. Air Video's interface is a bit more utilitarian, with six panes of settings with a traditional preferences look, but it gives you fine control over sharing ports, conversion preferences, streaming bandwidth, and more. Setting up both servers is quite straightforward: run them, add the folder paths where your videos live, and then leave them be. My home network setup is notoriously sharing-hostile, but I'll try to test out the remote streaming features of both apps soon.

Both apps also support streaming over the Internet, and will attempt to set your UPnP router to allow the correct port mapping automatically Air Video has a handy PIN code feature, which 'bookmarks' your external IP address so you don't have to remember it. I didn't get a chance to test Air Video on PPC, so I can't speak to performance there, but I wouldn't expect to handle high-rate video on anything but a Core 2 Duo Intel machine. Air Video's Mac server requires 10.5.6 or higher and is a Universal app ServeToMe requires 10.5 and is Intel-only. Air Video also has a Windows version of its server app, while the Win version of ServeToMe is in development.īoth server apps leverage the open-source ffmpeg project for video transcoding, and both can handle an impressive array of video codecs and format wrappers (lists here and here, respectively), including the EyeTV MPEG container format.

Both of them include a free server app that, once launched, appears as a menu extra with an Airport-esque icon (Air Video Server's icon has a filmstrip StreamToMe's app, called ServeToMe, features a Play button). The similarities between these apps go quite a bit deeper than their identical price points.
