I don't personally own any Android devices (for reasons I've explained ad nauseum before), so I can't test it myself.ĭoes video support work well and reliably over 3G, even when converting on-the-fly from 720/1080 TS sources (such as those from a HD-PVR)? Does it smartly adjust quality for local Wifi versus remote Wifi versus remote cellular speeds?ĪirVideo does all of that. Then there are all the separate problems with it being a web app, not a native app, but that's another story for another time. The resulting file then, if you wait 10-15 minutes for it to finish converting on my 4GHz Core i5 750 server, usually exceeds the maximum size in Mobile Safari too (so it typically fails to ever eventually play). In the new WebGizmo, I can tap on one of my videos (I am annoyed that I might have to set up my views for this yet again) and the web browser essentially hangs forever while it tries to convert and then load one big monolithic video file. I can fast forward and rewind easily (scrubbing or via 30 sec skip ahead/back buttons) and it essentially works beautifully. I can watch videos as though they are local, as long as I have a fairly strong network connection.
The server is actually converting the file "on the fly" as it streams the file over to my phone or iPad. With AirVideo, I can play any of my video files on my iPhone and they start playback immediately (after maybe a 1-3 second long prebuffering period, even remotely over 3G).
