Download and install the server software on your Mac or PC (Linux coming soon) and you’ll be watching your videos on your device in seconds. Going somewhere without network access? Download is just one tap away.
Don’t worry about video formats, codecs and bitrates, let Air Video HD handle the dirty details for you. If needed, Air Video HD will transparently transcode the video (“on fly”) so that it plays on all supported iOS devices, including Apple TV (with surround sound and soft subtitles). But we took special care to ensure that transcoding is only done when necessary. No matter what format the video is in, AVI, DivX, MKV and other videos just work.
Major Features in Air Video HD 2.0
* Beautiful user interface optimized for iOS 8. With special support for iPhone 6 and 6+, we make sure your valuable screen space is not wasted
* State of the art playback pipeline. We take our transcoding seriously. Support for soft subtitles, H.264 passthrough for your HD videos and surround sound on Apple TV will let you enjoy your media the way it is supposed to be.
* Video Download. Going somewhere without internet access? Air Video HD is the easiest way to get your videos to device. Simply browse to your video and press download. That's it. With one slider you decide if you want to prioritize video quality or save space on device.
* Synchronized settings. You can stop video on you iPhone and resume on your iPad. Playback settings (including subtitle and audio selection), history and many other are synchronized as well.
* History. Quickly navigate between previously visited folders and played files. See which videos have already been played and which are new. Did we mention that history can be synchronized across all your devices?
* Audio and Subtitle synchronization adjustment (2.0). Your subtitles being out-of-sync is no longer a problem, you can correct it in just few taps.
* Video playback speed control (2.0). In a hurry? Speed it up!
* Aspect ratio control (2.0). Now you can finally correct those those weird looking videos. Also works when playing Apple TV of course!
* Many other features waiting for you to explore

Gets confused by long lists

I have a folder with 1,354 folders in it. It can’t see all the folders... other than that IT’S FANTASTIC. !!! Five stars after file system fix. LOVE THIS SYSTEM! ?
Great App
Gravy_Stain
I love everything about this app, it’s super fast and handles pretty much anything I could need it for. The only things I would change is maybe adding a 10 or 15 second skip button instead of the 30 second skip options available, 30 can be a large jump in most instances and the seek function on the slider isn’t always responsive enough to hit exact moments. Also, I know it’s a video app, but adding image support for jpeg and the like would be amazing! I love casting videos to my big screens with this app and being able to do photo slideshows would make this app a 5 star all the way!
Great Video Server

This thing has been rock solid for many years, and still is. But I do wish we could get some more high end “Trick Plays” like: loop section, reverse play, half speed, quarter speed, etc.
Started great but now it really works

When I started to use the original Air Video years ago I like it so much I have upgraded to the Air Video HD. It works great until the last few months when it hardly connects or drop the connection after a few minutes and will never connect again. My wi-fi signal is strong and the connection with other apps are great, just not the Air Video. Time tor me to drop it and like another app.
Most stable and reliable!

It just works! I still have my Plex with its nice interface but it’s not always reliable. Airvideo HD coexists fine with Plex. Sort of like a backup in case Plex can’t render the file format reliably. The video scrubbing is top notch. I can’t recommend this enough for iPhone or iPad use with casting!
Abandonware

This was pretty great once upon a time. But the developers seem to have abandoned it. Remote access has been broken for ages. Customer support is nonexistent. I would be happy to pay for an upgrade. But as it stands this is not worth the download.
Solid, intuitive, and smooth remote video
FilmGo2Guy
What a great app to use to playback videos remotely I the house or from afar. Just a pleasure from iPhone, tablets or any device. Always dependable. Well done.

One of the best apps for video playback. I have been using this application since ver 1. I run the streaming server on a Mac mini, and view the streams on my iOS devices. Would be nice to be able to stream to a Mac client computer the same as an iOS device.
Indispensable for video

Been using for years with iPad, iPhone and Apple TV for our videos. The best most supported video conversion app. Just buy it.
