You can use iSub on iOS devices - it supports video and audio streaming and cacheing, though I have not been able to get my videos working through it. For video streaming, I'm still using AirVideo from my iPhone/iPads. AirVideo is solid, so I guess I haven't really been stressing about my own inability to get video streaming working via iSub. I love iSub for everything else, use it for native FLAC streaming of music all the time, but just not yet comfortable with the video side of it. It's probably my transcoding settings for the iSub player that need to be tweaked, just haven't done much research into it. So yeah, you may have luck with iSub, but AirVideo will definitely work nicely if you run AirVideo server of course. I run both Subsonic server and AirVideo server simultaneously on the same physical machine. Have for over 3 years now. No issues. Just make sure you have at least 4GB of RAM, minimum. I used to run them on a mac mini with 4GB of RAM, now I have the Apple XServe with a ton more RAM, because I use it for many other things as well.
Good luck with it, let us know how you make out.
Subsonic 5.2.1 on 2009 Apple XServe w/ Yosemite Server 10.10.5; 96GB RAM. Lots of Music - High Rez, native DSD streaming, and otherwise.
