Mac AirVideo Client
Mac AirVideo Client is an application that can connect to Air Video Server.
Mac AirVideo Client is an application that can connect to Air Video Server. I reviewed Air Video Server back in 2011. It is a great piece of software that lets you stream your video collection to iOS devices over your home network or even on the Internet.
When you launch the client, you will be able to add any server that you want manually and there is also a nice automatic discovery feature that works like a charm. When I tested this app, I had already installed the server, and I clicked on the "discover" button and my server was immediately found. After adding it, I could navigate my media and play any video file. When a file is selected for playback, the app will launch VLC and open your file with it.
If you venture into the Settings, you will be able to change a lot of streaming options, including the quality, the queue system and the server settings.
In short, Mac AirVideo Client is a great free client for the AirVideo Server app. It works like a charm out of the box, which is always really important.
