So you have a computer and you'd like to make a folder visible/share over the internet so you can access it through an iOS app? Does the server have to run on Windows or macOS or both?
Got a tip for us?

Introducing the all-new Air Video
Just windows really sense I don't use mac machine. Though if people want mac too sure.
Air Video HD has transcoding. Infuse does not.
Helps on slow cellular internet connection but hopefully one day we can get guaranteed 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps 24/7.
I dislike when video buffers.
Oh you also need transcoding... Well that is beyond my capabilities. Why not use Emby?
If you want help, you need to get rid of your x265 requirement and use the mp4 format instead. It would still save you space. Unless Pvalerio makes an app, your best option is Infuse.
I haven't used Air Video in years so excuse me if I'm missing the point but:
In your Plex client app you can set the view of a specific media source to 'folder' to access the pure folder structure of your shared directory.
Wouldn't that achieve a similar thing?
> You can (remotely) access your original folder structure and files with transcoding on demand (including mkv and HEVC).

its just hard to let go of things you like. Honestly i preferred Airvideo over Plex. Im a plex pass holder so i know how to use it. I dont have any rhyme or reason. haha you like what you like. Thank you arw for the info I appreciate your input.
Air Video HD, any version, does not have great reliability.
It works but freezes/buffers a lot.
I tried.
Even when staying in one spot sitting down remotely.
This is with big files though. My computer is powerful enough.
Try all qualities no matter which one it still freezes/buffers.
Even a small video like 1.23 GB would buffer while in the car as a passenger. Movie was around 1 hour and 30 something minutes long.

Mine doesn’t using 2.2.1 and downloading VLC 2.2.1 to match from the archives but doesn’t play 265 anything even large a long as 264. Reinstalled on all new IOS iPad and IPhone and works perfectly and the download and convert is great when going on the plane or a place with no signal or WiFi. 4g and 5g works perfectly on these versions for the codecs. Have you tried 2.2.1 along with VLC 2.2.1?Air Video HD, any version, does not have great reliability.

Yes but i sometimes use x265 as well. Is that the deal breaker? If so it won't work
I never use download and convert. Always stream maybe that is my problem ?
X265 won’t work on 2.2.1 but that version is the most stable. Try download and convert great option if on the move. Airvideo HD still working a dream for me get no issue or glitching and buffering but using 264 files even large ones so may be that’s the differenceYes but i sometimes use x265 as well.

What kind of iPhone or iPad do you have? 1 TB and 2 TB version ? Just asking sorry.
Not that large don’t need to as store everything on my airvideo server and streams most things I have about 12tb on my server to store movies and series and watch from there only download if flying or going to an area with crap 5g or no WiFi
