Air Video app

I know this isn't about a tablet, but it's about an app for a tablet. Anyway, there is an app I'm curious about, Air Video, which streams video from your computer to your Ipad Iphone, etc. But it doesn't work with videos from the Apple store, so how to i get videos on my computer to begin with?

I have this app and use it a lot. It's mainly for digital copies you get with a DVD or blurry you purchase or with movies you "obtain" from the Internet. Then you tell air video where the videos are located and then as long as you have wifi it will stream them to your ipad
I used to work for Best Buy as an Apple Specialist, but all my comments, posts and opinions are my own and do not in anyway reflect Best Buy. Mostly because I think the exact opposite as Best Buy anyway

When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

Trying to get my air video app and my airport extreme router to work.

Hi there. I am getting really frustrated and desperate. I just purchased the app "air video" on my iPad. Installed the software on my mac. Works awesome when I'm on MY WIRELESS NETWORK. I didn't think it would be an issue once I left the house and tried to go on someone else's network to connect, but it just won't work. It keeps giving me the error "host not reachable". I tried opening up the air video troubleshooting info and tried everything but nothing seems to work. I tried under the "remote" tab in the air video server preferences. I clicked both "enable access from Internet" and the "auto map port" options. In the box below I just see the word status and the spinning wheel along with "looking for UPnP or NAT-PMP compatible devices" but the wheel has been spinning for about 15 mins. It doesnt appear to be finding anything.
I've also clicked off the "auto map port" to see if that would do anything. I got the pin and tried that. Still nothing. I tried to look for some information on port forwarding for my airport extreme but everything I'm googleing seems to be years out of date.
I am currently on Mac snow leopard 10.6.3 I believe. Everything is latest version. Using comcast modem with apple airport extreme router. Latest version of Air video app and software. On iOS 4.3.1.
Anyone that can try to help me out, I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you so much
Keith

Air Video App Problem

I installed the Air Video app on my iPad, but am having problems with installing the Air Video Server app on my iMac. I downloaded it and the virtual drive appeared on my desktop. I double-clicked on it and the app appeared. I dragged it to the application folder. When I double-clicked on it, I got a warning message saying that it was an application downloaded from the Internet and asked whether I wanted to open it. I clicked open and nothing happened that I could see! When I tried to move it to the trash, I got the message that I couldn't do that because it was open! Help.

Look up in your menu bar by the clock and you should see the Air Video icon. From there you can set its preferences. The reason you can't delete it after running it is because it is truly running (as you can see from the menu bar.) Try setting it up to share a folder with videos in it (from the "Server Preferences" menu item.) Then run the iPad app and point to the shared folder. It really is amazing to have such a wide variety of formats playing on the iPad. I've only played with it briefly, but I do like what I see.

Configuring Hub 4 to use Air Video app

Hi
My HH4 is preventing me linking my PC with my i-Phone using the Air Video app. Has anyone successfully configured Port Forwarding for this app?
Thanks

Hi
This has now been solved by using "Server PIN" within the app.

ATV and Air Video Streaming stopped working

I have been using AIR VIDEO (Standard and HD Version) for months now flawlessly, no issues at all, until the other day any of my devices (iPhones and iPads) will only stream to my ATV's for a few seconds then they cut off and jump back to home screen and the contact starts playing on the device again.
All my devices can see the ATV's no problems there
I am using Air Video Server on a Mavericks iMac and i have iP5, and iP1 (Original), iPad Mini, and also iPad Air - all same problem occurring.
I use the Air Video APP On any of those devices and the same problem occurs.
I've tried so far:
Uninstall AV Server and the APPS on the Devices
Reset and Restart the ATV's (i have ATV2 and ATV3 by the way)
Anyone having the same issues?
Could this be Firmware on the ATVs have updated and not allowing this now?
Can i restore the ATV' back to an older Firmware?
They both currently say they are up to date and running the latest software,
Any help much appreciated....

could also be network problems
I would try connecting a mac and the appletv by enthernet cable to the router and if it dont have any problems then I would know it was the wifi which was getting interference from another wifi network or other things which operate on the same frequencies (2.4Ghz which is used for wifi apart from 5Ghz is a very very very busy frequency)

My iPad Videos App Won't Connect to Shared Library

When I launch the iPad Videos app, then tap on "Shared" and then tap on my library, all I get is a spinning circle.
Admittedly, I do have a large iTunes library, but it shouldn't take this long to load. (Actually, I dont know how long it takes to load, because it has never loaded. I've waited as long as 20 minutes thus far).
The strange thing is that my 3rd-party Air Video app works every time, all the time. Why doesn't the Apple Videos app?
Update: Waited a little longer this time, only to get this error message: "Unable to turn on Home Sharing"

I find that closing iTunes and the Videos App on my iPad Air does not solve the problem.
Even this solution, if it worked would drive me bonkers. If I wanted to go to my computer I could just watch the video there. If I wanted to watch the video on my Apple TV I would go watch it there.
Why is it that my Apple TV always flawlessly connects to my shared iTunes library, but my iPad Air never will? The fact that it works on Apple TV suggests the problem in not my network, my router, my firewall, etc. It suggests there is a bug with the apps on the iPad.
I too have resigned myself to the fact that AirVideo is the answer. Sadly though, this doesn't solve my problem with trying to listen to my music library.
I have the exact same experience with my iPhone 5c. I'm a huge fan of Apple products for several years now after being a detractor. I am simply left with the feeling that this issue, reported by many users, with many different devices, is not getting the attention it deserves.
Frustration is setting in....

IOS 7.1 Header info (clock batt. etc) is dim in Videos App.

iPad Air Videos App. the header info is dim.

I went to the mall and checked out the store iPad Air with iOS 7.1. It has the same problem with mine, the music videos sound is louder than movies or tv shows media.

Need HTTPService and play video in flex 4.6 Air Mobile App

We are porting a flex 3.2 app to mobile app. The 3.2 app uses mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to send XML requests for data and launch video web pages. Will a flex 4.6 Air Mobile app be able to do the same? If so, what replaces mx.rpc.http.HTTPService? I read that mx components will not work in Flex mobile apps.

HI,
Its working fine.And the mxml components which are displayobject should not be used in the mobile application except the chart.
So nothing wrong with using "mx.rpc.http.HTTPService",you can also use <s:HTTPService/>
Also there is a nice way to see which components should be used or which not for the mobile application.
Simply mouse over on the component when you have used it.You can see a message on that if that is not optimized for the mobile application like for the combobox you can see this message:-
"Adobe discourages using ComboBox when targeting profiles: mobileDevice."
While this is not the case with <s:HTTPService/>.
with Regards,
Shardul

Which video app do I download to remove tv episodes form ipad air?

Can anyone tell me which video app that I would download to remove tv episodes from ipad air and not the pc? Is this still the way to do it?
Thank You

You don't need an app to do that.
Launch the Videos app. Tap on TV Shows, tap the Edit button in ther upper right corner. The X to delete will appear on the TV show icons. Tap that X to delete the shows.
Or go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos>TV shows. Use the Edit button there or swipe from right to left across the TV show to get the red delete button.

IPad Air 2 Deletes Movies from Video App Yet Keeps Space Alotted

My new iPad Air 2 is deleting movies from the video app and leaving the space reserved in "other." When I examine this in iTunes on my Mac, the deleted movies now show their size as "stream" instead of their file size. This is highly annoying as I keep having to format and restore, and it keeps happening and I am losing a ton of space to "other."

I'm experiencing this exact issue on two devices:
iPhone 4S 32GB
iPad Air 64 GB
Both while running iOS 7.03 and 7.04 (recently updated both devices to 7.04 hoping it would help. It didn't)
My iPhone had become nearly unusable until I found your post. It had apparently accumulated >12 GB of "temporary streamed content", as after I did a backup/wipe/restore, I had recovered to around 12 GB free space.
It's unfortunate that the fix requires a complete reset/restore cycle, as it's very time-consuming, but thanks for providing that fix! It saved my iPhone 4S. Now I can comfortable wait until the 6 comes out to get a new iPhone.
Really, though, this seems like a critical bug for iOS devices. I'll certainly not stream any iTunes content until/unless this is fixed. I found that if I turn off "Show all Videos" in the Video App settings, it doesn't show the iTunes cloud content for streaming from within the App. This forces me into iTunes to do a full download if I want to watch something. Kind of a pain, but it beats a device that's maxed out on storage and basically bricked.

Video app on iPad Air doesn't sync correctly

All my movies ever purchased are showing up in my Video app on my iPad Air, when I have the sync movies button unclicked.
No movies will play and most of the movie icons have no image.
What gives?

You may not have enough available storage space. How much do you have?
Go to Settings>General>About>Available

My MacBook Air tells me I'm out of memory. to my knowledge I use only 65 GB for documents, photos, videos, apps, and it tells me that 75 GB is taken by "other" What is in other, and how can I fix it?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

IPad Air 2 128GB Auto Deletes Videos in Video App

I have the 128GB iPad Air 2. I keep having the same issue. When I load movies on my iPad downloading from iTunes, the app will auto delete some of the videos and I'll get a warning I am running out of space. When I plug into iTunes, it is showing a handful of movies with their file size that are stored in the video app, and the rest are listed as "Stream" and their file size held against other.
This is a major issue and seems to be similar to the issue that people with the 128GB 6 and 6Plus where having.

The video app has 4 tabs across the top. If they are not hiding in one of the tabs, i suspect they are missing the type identifier and the app doesnt know where to show them. Glas that at least you can find them.
Next time you sync, take a look in i tunes, and see if they are fully labeled there. I would not be surprised if one the i tunes fields is the key for the pad video app to know which tab to put the, under.

Ipad Video app closes

Currently i cannot play any movies on my ipad and i cannot figure out what is wrong.
The Videos app on my ipad shows the movies i transferred over from Itunes by USB connection. If i click on any movie i get to the individual movie page that shows the movie art and all the chapters. If i click on the play button, the screen quickly scrolls up and down and does not play. The circle icon below the play button is continuously going.
I have tried resetting my ipad, removing all the movies and adding them back, but it does not help. All these movies play with no problem in Itunes on my PC.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello Brian,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue playing iTunes Store content on your iPad Air, and you’ve already tried restarting the device and syncing the movies a second time. If you haven’t already, try backing up and restoring the device as shown in the article linked below.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
Cheers,
