Ratings and Reviews
Good idea, but doesn't work very well.
All I want is to be able to stream the audio from XBMC on my mac to my iPhone, but I can't with this since there's such a HUGE delay.
Surely there must be a way to get around this 2 second delay, without having to adjust my audio delay within XBMC every time I switch between my iPhone and mac speakers.
The fact that their "solution" was to release their own video player is just ridiculous. The problem isn't the player, it's this app - I really hope they come up with a real solution soon.
Airfoil versus XBMC
Product comparison: XBMC versus Airfoil. Both Apps require software on the computer transmitting the music library. XBMC App costs $3.99 and computer software is FREE, while Airfoil App is FREE but their software requires a $25 license. With XBMC, once set up correctly, you can totally browse your library (inc. album art and ID3 tags); with Airfoil, you must previously set up the music you want transmitted as there is no control from your iPhone/iTouch...Airfoil can use any media player or internet streaming site, while XBMC is an entity/player unto itself. You have to tell XBMC to manually process your music library and, if it's a substantial library, will take a substantial amount of time. I still haven't gotten XBMC working 100% and found out, the hard way, that it didn't recognize music on my network/external hard drive versus music being resident on the local computer...so I had to uninstall from my laptop and install on my desktop which is directly connected to the external drive (not WiFi). Airfoil installation and execution was easy...with a smidge of intuition as the supplied user manual was somewhat vague. Both Apps allow Last.fm and Shoutcast...but Airfoil allows as many media sources from all computers on your network as you can throw at it, plus Internet sources. Airfoil is solely Wifi/local Intranet, XBMC supposedly will be able to use your cellular network for travel (if you have the data plan to support it). Summary: Both Apps and accompanying computer software are different enough to merit having both on my iPhone...however, Airfoil's high cost and XBMC's troubling install can both be deterrents.
Works well but, It's back-wards.
Can we please have it work the other way around?
I want to stream from my iPod Touch to Wireless speakers, or networked speakers.
Can you do this for all of us please?
