Is it possible for MC to stream video to an iPhone?
« on: October 15, 2012, 09:45:17 pm »

I have been using MC to stream to my PS3 for years, it works really well.  I just purchased an iphone5, and was wondering if there was a way to use MC to stream to the iPhone.  I already found an app called NetPortal (now replaced by FileBrowser) which lets me see all my shared files on my PC.  Most of my videos are in Divx format, which is not supported by the iPhone.  So if I could get MC to serve them up, could I use the convert-on-the-fly features in MC so that I could watch them on the iPhone?

Thanks,
DD.

Try a fantastic little app called Air Video. It's well worth the very affordable price.

You're welcome. As you know, with Air Video you're confined to the folder structure of your video files. I wish one day, MC will have the same capabilities and will work well with our libraries/views/playlists etc. The cool thing about Air Video is that it works from anywhere as long as our upload is fast enough.

I agree. For me this is the one and only killer feature missing from MC.
