iPhone/iPod video?

[br0ken1128]

I have had my iphone 1st gen forever and I'm on t-mobile so rather than buying a new subsidized iphone at a reasonable price and having to switch networks, I picked up an ipod and kept my old iphone for calls.. Nevertheless.. I immediately installed some of the subsonic apps that I couldn't without ios4 ..

iSub worked best for me, but none of them seem to support video which is what I primarily use subsonic for in the first place.. anyone know any apps that support this with subsonic? or is it something planned? that would be a great thing to have..

I'd love to see the video capabilities of subsonic ramped up a bit..

iSub is definitely the best of the subsonic applications. Fortunately, the developer is working on bringing video to us.

Until then I am using air video. It's the best video streamer available, period.

Speaking as a former AirVideo user..

You might want to check out OPlayer (Lite) for your idevice.. it does http streaming, ftp streaming, and now samba streaming too. I can just point at my network shares and pull up a movie on my iphone 4. Speedwise, samba isn't as fast as the http streaming (or ftp). I've streamed 1080P mp4's to my phone via http streaming (via lighttpd, the webserver FreeNAS uses).. the same video that I watch on my PS3 (who says you can't watch 1080P on an iPhone). As long as the video doesn't need transcoding, it will stream directly using Quicktime on your phone. But if you need transcoding, OPlayer will do it too - it uses FFMPEG on your idevice.

For me it's one less thing to run on your PC/server/whatever.. I've tried AirVideo.. but OPlayer Lite, for me, works better. It doesn't have a problem with many of my older divx files either.

And for what it's worth, if your music is also shared on your network, it'll stream that too..
