App to stream movies from Mac to iPad without converting?

I strongly recommend Plex! You'll be able to stream absolutely anything you can throw at it! I use a FireWire video capture program to record TV and Plex can seamlessly stream its bizarre format and enormous files (1hr=5gb)
 
Tried Home Sharing now and god does it work flawless. Of course, no avi support so I'll have to stick to mp4 I suppose. Gonna try Plex also I think 😉

Old post, but I use Quik.io http://quik.io

You don't even have to be on the same wifi which is awesome. You just need the client, to make a login, and choose your folders.

It's absolutely beautiful too. Been using it for a few months now. 😀

Ok, I have downloaded and used this app via both wifi and cellular. Love it! By far the easiest one I have setup and have had absolutely zero issues with it! Thank you

Glad you like it. 😀 I haven't tried it on Mavericks yet, might give it a spin this weekend and see if it works with it and iOS 7.

I was just wondering, didn't know if you had another machine running the client software that is all. I want to sell my XP box and get a Mac Mini to run it. Sounds like you are not having any problems with the MBP running it.

Thanks a bunch.

P.S. Still love this app as I use it pretty much everyday to and from work and while I am at work!

Ah right. Think you should be fine with the Mini. I mean, I AirPlay using AirServer (I know it's not the same app we're talking about here) to an iMac G4 that is over 10 years old and it doesn't lag! 😱 Really has to do with your internet connection, because it's just essentially like a streaming server.

I still need to set it back up again. I've been trying to move all my media to one partition for the last month and I've been SO lazy! 😱
