Any updates on Home Sharing for the iPad?
Since the last posting on this subject, a few things have happened:
- Air Video has been released for the iPad which so far works brilliantly, at least on myhome network. I have not been able to get it to work remotely - anyone have luck with that? It tells my my remote pin is not valid, even though I know I entered it correctly.
- Simplify Media's client and server software have gone away. Just gone. It was a great way to share music libraries remotely, but it seems to be dead. While you can probably find copies of the software still out there, they won't be supported and it's pretty unlikely that there will be an iPad app.
- Home Sharing appears to still not be enabled for iPads... at least, I have not figured out how to make it work if it is. Everything seems to be set up properly, my laptop can see my main library, my Apple TV can see it... but not my iPad. Anyone know the status of this functionality? Is it happening soon, can we expect it in OS 4, etc?
In the meantime, is there anything out there that accomplishes the same thing as Home Sharing (or better yet, Simplify)? I've been able to use DropBox to get a file playable from my remote machine, but it is by NO means an acceptable long-term solution.
Thanks for any guidance,
