Is there a software which can share the video over wifi?


Recommended Posts

Hi genius, I want to share my videos on my laptop with my friends over wifi, and I hope we can watch the video independently that means we can free to decide the playing speed and progress. Is there such software? A Free One must be more better! I am looking forward to your answers. Thank you in advance

You really don't need any special software for this - you can just share your folder where the videos are. And they can either copy them to their machine and then play them.. Or just open them and they will play that way, etc.

What wifi do you have, over G you could have problems with HD stuff.

Also a big fan of Plex, works great when mixed with tablets/phones/DVRs/etc, but have to agree with Budman, if the machines in question are just PCs, no need to make it complicated, network share and done.  Can add XBMC if you want a pretty front-end but you can just get them through your file manager too, zero extra software required.  If you got mobile devices in the mix though, definitely look at Plex.. the server is free, the app versions are not but definitely worth the few bucks. (You can also access the server thru a browser.)  Toss a Chromecast into the mix, icing on that video cake. 

Plex doesnt care how the video was formatted. It can play on multiple devices. Mkv, mov, wmp, mp3,mp4. No need to find codecs or apps to run the video or audio. I can play on my roku pause it and resume on my pc or phone or tablet.

Another vote for Serviio. I just switched to it when a Windows update broke TVersity. It seems to do the job well, and works with all the video clients I've tried.

 

IIRC Plex uses its own clients. I do know I havent' successfully gotten it to work with XBMC4XBox, at least.

    • Yeah, kind of odd. I would understand it more if it was an exclusive, but to launch on both consoles and not PC seems like an odd choice.
    • I predict Rockstar is gonna shock everyone and release one version and one version only at $70!
    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
