Shasoosh Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've been playing lately with an iphone\opad app called Air Video, What it does is to stream video from your home computer to your iphone\ipad. (Great app btw) I was wondering, what's the easiest way to do it between 2 windows computers? A simple video stream with subtitles with 2 Windows computers that are not on the same network.

0 Copernic Reporter Posted August 31, 2011 Reporter Share Posted August 31, 2011 It's not so easy like Air Video: How to stream Music and Video Over the Internet with Windows Media Player 12 http://www.vclplus4.com/vlc-c/how-to-stream-music-and-video-over-the-internet-with-windows-media-player-12 or just use Opera Unite + Stream media app http://lifehacker.com/5472050/whats-the-easiest-way-to-share-large-files-and-media-with-friends http://unite.opera.com/application/322/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DukeEsquire Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Use Orb. It's super simple. http://www.orb.com/ It's free and goes beyond just video to include things like TV Tuner, pictures, music...etc. The only thing is I don't know how it handles subtitles (I assume you mean soft-coded subtitles). Best of all, it works on the iPhone/iPad as well so you don't need to run two separate servers. They also sell standalone units that you can hook up to your TV.

0 Shasoosh Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 My point exactly. Seems like something a lot of people would like to do, how come there isn't a simple solution for that. My mom wants to watch movies that are on my computer (in a different city) I'm looking for something as simple as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
