Streaming movies

idunn said:
Could someone clarify this for me?

If iTunes is perfectly capable of streaming video to a MacBook, why would it not an iPad? Both obviously have wi-fi. What else is required? Is there something in the system architecture of an iPad which wouldn't allow this? Thus the need for workarounds, such as Air Video? Why not just iTunes?

Thanks.

Apple is greedy and really just want us to use iphone/ipad to buy media from them
 
Has anyone got Air Video to stream over the internet? Mine works fine over the local network, but just will not sync up to my server over the internet. I got the port forwarded, no errors during testing server. Just get a message saying "your Air Video Server instance is NOT accessible from internet".
The Air Video guys aren't sure what's going on after sending them my log.:confused:
..sure wish I could get that part of it working.

mine is working over the internet no problem. just had to enter the PIN given in the air video server on my Mac and it worked fine. actually looks great over the internet too.

are you trying to stream over 3G or wifi?

Trying to stream wifi from a hotspot other than my own wifi network. I'm also running the Windows version of the server which comes with all the Vista baggage. ;) They think it may have to do with the Norton firewall, but to test it I'd have to uninstall it, which I'm not going to do. Oh well.
