I have, and love, Air Video, and use it all the time to watch video on my iPad from my Lion iMac. (I'm currently part way through Season 4 of Breaking Bad - it's brilliant!).
But when I want to Airplay the video to my Apple TV, it starts to go wrong.
I am assuming that Air Video streams the video from my iMac to my iPad2 and then my iPad streams it to my Apple TV. Which means that I'm having to go from A (iMac) to B (iPad) to C (ATV) using WiFi. With big files (fairly HD films), this often results in stuttering to the TV, although it doesn't to the iPad when I'm watching it on there.
So what I want to know is whether there's a way of streaming directly from A to C, while controlling it with B. As A and C are wired (through Homeplugs), this should be much better.
I know that I could convert for iTunes and use built-in functionality, but I haven't been patient enough for that. And I suppose that I'd consider Jailbreaking (if that's possible with the latest iOS). But is there an app that works as well as Air Video but allows direct streaming?
It may be, of course, that I've got it wrong, and Air Video does stream directly, in which case I have to go for conversion. But if not, please help!
Thanks,
Tiptopp
