Hi, I'm wanting to watch video contained in my MC library on my iPhone. Is there an app that can access the JRiver DLNA Server and play video? I have JRemote but don't think this supports video. Obviously best quality preferred, eg as good as watching an mp4 with the iPhone "Videos" app.

Thanks

JRemote DOES do this.

Ok thanks will check it out. Is this the best video quality I will get?

For what purpose?  For watching on your iPhone/iPad I would be very surprised if you could tell the difference.  Most video content may end up being transcoded at a bitrate suitable for streaming and to a format the iPhone can play.  If you are mirroring your phone to a large projector screen then you will likely see differences between the original and the streamed version.

Yes it's only for the iPhone 6 Plus, but I can tell the difference between a high vs low bitrate video. That's interesting that you think the video is transcoded on the fly for streaming...I thought the client ie JRemote would have codec support for h.264 mkv for example and no transcoding needed, but that's with no technical knowledge of JRemote.
