I am running into some glitches, and it might be because I am using a Gen 1 iPad. Did you mean to imply something additional by your response? What devices do you stream to?īTW, I had enough success with the free version yesterday, that I spent my life savings to buy the $1.99 ad-free version.

OK, of course, you “use it on your computer” (the Helper program needs to be installed and running on the PC to kick VLC into running and stream the movie so the iPad app can take over the rest.). Thanks for the input! It’s good to know I found the “best one”. I use it on my computer, awesome program, definitely the best one that I know. OK, now to the other reason I am posting this: Are any others of you folks using VLC Streamer, and do you feel it it a worthwhile program, or do you have a better suggestion? (It was not set this way out of the box.) So, now that this setting is correctly in place, the jerkiness is all but gone, and watching the resultant videos is quite acceptable. Nonetheless, I still had some issues with jerky video until I learned that the framerate setting of VLC Streamer needs to be set, for the most part, to “original framerate” of the source. To really stream this stuff well to a wireless device one really needs a very fast wired and wireless network in the home, which I have. The result is that the CPU of my PC is running at 100% or nearly so during the time streaming takes place.

It basically runs VLC in the background on the PC and the output of VLC is streamed to the wireless portable device. As one might imagine, VLC Streamer app works with the VLC program on one’s computer. I have not bought the ad-free version yet, as I want to explore the free one first. The free is ad-supported, the pay-for version is ad-free. There is a free and a $1.99 version of VLC Streamer. I found a program recently that I have been experimenting with, and for you Android owners out there, there is an Android version of this program, too. so I went looking for a program that enables the iPad and iPhone to play these ISO files without repurposing them into another file format. I got to thinking, this is kind of a waste of time to make all these extra files. Handbrake) to make new m4v files that are playable on the iPad. To play these movies stored on these drives on to my portable iThings, I have had to take these ISO files and run them through a program (e.g. Like many other WD media player owners, I have lots of movie ISO files on the two hard drives connected to my WD player.
