I even halved the resolution of my already not-at-all-HD video in the hopes that it could handle the load, but it was all for naught. I then began troubleshooting, which led me to investigate both my Windows firewall and a list of ports accessed via the command prompt to ensure my router's ports were functioning as intended (all of which checked out fine). I followed the setup instructions for Air PlayIt to the letter, including opening up ports on my router, and after an initial buffering period, which lasted up to 30 seconds, the most it offered me was 10 or 15 seconds of video playback before it had to stop and buffer once again. There are two components to both Air Video HD and Air PlayIt: a server application that needs to be running on the host computer and an app you download from the App Store to your iOS device. But before I get into how flawlessly Air Video HD has worked for me, I first want to bring up a different streaming app called Air PlayIt. Today I was determined to find out if things had changed, and it only took a couple of tries to find the app of my dreams in the form of Air Video HD. At some point, I just accepted that I'd never live in a world where I could watch all my PC-stored video anywhere in my home via my iPad. Usually they crash every few minutes, horribly downscale my content or fail to work at all. Sure, I know that there are plenty of remote streaming apps out there, but I've always had terrible luck getting them to work.
#WINDOWS AIR VIDEO TV#
Ideally, I'd love to have all of my favorite movies and TV shows - which are currently stored on a Windows desktop - available on my tablet at a moment's notice, but for a long time I didn't think this was a reasonable demand.
I have a problem: There just isn't enough room on my iPad to hold all of my beloved video content.
