- oiuygtfrtghyju 16y agoVLC can do client-server streaming from another copy of VLC. So your desktop machine can stream your dvd/avi/mp3 collection to the iPad
- jokermatt999 16y agoKind of funny that this had to be asked, considering that VLC's original purpose was streaming videos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player#History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player#History
- th0ma5 16y agoand you can do this already, too, right? stream to the ipad by just opening a transcoded stream?
- Terretta 16y agoE.g., Plex, which does it on the fly and is in the app store.
- oiuygtfrtghyju 16y agoI think plex only lets you share your iTunes with other iStuff and only if the iDRM approves. VLC lets you share iWhateverTheHellYouWant from iWhateverMachine with iWhateverOS to iWhereverYouWant.
- rb2k_ 16y agoYou can copy data over using iTunes, works fine for other apps (e.g. cinexplayer)
- jbk 16y agoDisclaimer: VideoLAN chairman and VLC dev here... Exactly. + http, mms, rtsp and other protocols.
