It even works if you have the movies stored on a USB drive connected to the host computer.” -The Times of India “Took me seconds to setup to stream from a secondary drive in my home office. Going straight out to get a cable for my TV.” - USA Reviewer “….This sucker can stream off the pc and plays virtually anything you throw at it.

Works great with a few misgivings.

Okay , this app is great, 5 stars for that. Integration with your network is simple and quick. Converting files is not. On the fly one by one conversion works great unless you have a HEVC also known as x265 codec file. It chokes on them. What is HEVC/x265?? It’s the latest video codec that has better resolution at a much, much smaller video file than the standard x264. So all the files I have in x265 now must be converted to x264 by another app, creating a second copy of the file, also much larger, so I can stream with this app. Bummer. I hope a solution is close ‘cause otherwise, I really like this app!

This is a wonderful little app. I can walk anywhere in the house with my iPad while watching a movie. The only problem I have with this app is that it loses wifi contact once in a while and I have to shut my computer down and restart to get the app back online. It doesn't happen very often but when it does happen it is annoying. Also I can’t find anywhere but I can add subtitles , I have a few movies that I need subtitles floor . I would give this app four and a half stars, out of five stars.

Still the best, if sometimes flawed

This is the best streaming app in terms of functionality I’ve found on iPhone. GoodPlayer, “real” VLC, etc have interesting features and potentially easier setup but get bogged down with weird buffering problems, or bizarre interface choices. VLC streamer works way more often than others and it has great interface customization Search can be a bit iffy if your library gets large, but the tagging system is solid. Would love to see search work with larger libraries (or for the keyboard to dismiss reliably) but again it’s a trivial problem. The need to preprocess videos is a small price for them to reliably work on the phone and the access control via a simple password is helpful. Bottom line: it works!

Works smooth with MPEG4 files over Unifi WiFi.

I have a 1GB small 5port switch connected to a Ubiquity Unifi Pro access points. I have streamed 3 large movie files and works without a hiccup. Please note when I was using my WAN modem with built In WiFi provided by my ISP, it would be very inconsistent and to many crashes. It was once I invested in a unifi WiFi, that was life changing. I will try with other video formats and stress test it.
