There was one point where the train was sitting at a station where my phone could only pick up an EDGE signal, and the app rebuffered and started playing at a noticibly lower - but still watchable - quality.Ī little tip for watching over 3G: Always use the live conversion playback mode. The were a few hiccups here and there, but given that I was on a moving train, I was pretty impressed with the performance. The streaming over 3G worked great, and the picture quality seemed on par with what I was getting over my local network (read: very clear). I used this on the train today during both ways of my hour-long commute.
I haven’t tested remote access outside my network, but if I could stream a new show from home to an iPhone sitting in my hotel room while traveling, I would say we’re truly living in the future now.

Plus, you don’t have to take up any space on your iPhone (and I guess iPad eventually) with the movie itself, as it is just streamed in real time. It’s a pretty handy app if you use one desktop computer as a “base” for a media center with other devices (like AppleTV, iPhone, etc) talking to it. You can even jump ahead to different parts of a streaming movie and it’ll render in just a few seconds. I’ve downloaded, installed, and gotten this app to work wonderfully. I was just thinking about trying out some media server apps to see if I could make it work when I saw this pop up on Lifehacker today. The other day I had a bit of insomnia, noticed my phone on my nightstand and wondered to myself if there was any hack, any way I could somehow stream videos from my desktop computer downstairs (both downloaded video and iTunes movies/shows). Air Video is an amazing app I have wished for but never thought I’d see actually happen, given the App Store’s dodgy rules about approving applications like this.
