lol
lagging 1080p
suspect streaming issue with ipad limitation at only 60mbps.
but i was very fast on go encoding at lower

hmm think gonna keep this program.. can see how its useful.
very fast on searching and tagging and sorting..

but again this is only for media sharing

hmmm must be your hardware, i encode at 20MBps no issue. run smoothly on the iPad. no lag whatsoever streaming off my NAS. its as good as watching in on tv with a media player.

again np with hardware. theres actually nothing better than what i have lol.. unless its a gold plated cat 6 cable.

it doesnt work like that when u say encoding on 20mbps. if plex reduces those bitrates at limits it at 20.. thats gonna be a problem. u use high profile 4.1 to get better compression with better quality hence the vbr

when it says 20mbps it means the bandwidth. it uses 20mbps on the max spikes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC

thats y it was smooth on my 720p at h3.1
when they encode a 1080p at 4.1 although ure average is a 16 ++ mbps example on the movie just now
it uses more on high detail enviroments.. so it has a max of 50mbps.
thats what i have been saying all this players has issue with 4.1. heck even quicktime pro. while IOS default video eats it easily.. Androids until today has issues with tegra 3


keeping this for as i download to watch series and delete etc..
pretty niffy

see, you agree right. this is probably the best media organizer around. might not be able to handle some of your requirements but i am happy got another plex supporter... hahaha. now to get u converted to auto grabbing and renaming with sick beard, you will love it.

wait till i head back home and write that tutorial
lol

ure way is caching the metatags
i am talking about having it permanently on each file. down to even ure Itunes account on it, Yes u can tag each mp4 with ure itunes account.

hmmm... ok sounds like heck of a lot of work to do for each episode that comes out. don't you think. and if you mentioned watch then delete what an effort. hehe anyway. i guess it was fun having this back and forth. we have already stir off topic.

Guys, any software to recommend for converting videos to iPad supported format?

this is still basic
ipad ios video app can handle even bigger. ive gone up to 30mbps around 50gb just one movie just to test the limits
it just chewed it.

so when apple advertises 30fps level 4.1 they really mean it.

oh that's nice
tell me it can play rmvb files
any other type of subtitle

tried ttplayer
nice thing it can transfer from your desktop to ipad wirelessly using your desktop any web browser

cstkl1 can you PM me your method step by step?
Appreciate that bro..

Yeah need to really write it down. Cause there is actually more like setting dual audio one in AAC stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1.

That makes it a complete like itunes like movie. Only difference is u have a higher quality in picture.

Tested.. New ipad Streaming from Homesharing with AV kit to tv.. Dolby Digital 5.1 supported.
Hence makes Apple TV sux all time since its limited with high profile 4.0

But doesnt look like lyn folks here really want to do it lol. A thread with no followers after so much work to write and explain etc.. hmm again need more feedback.

whoa brother, chill. dont worry your HOWTO will be appreciated. I'm looking forward for it. Thanks brother.

been using Oplayer HD by far the most nicest video player as u can play any kinds of video format and u could adjust the position/size of the subtitles.

Not sure if I can help, but right now I am using my htpc to serve as Air Playit server, and my iphone 3GS can use the Air Playit app to play any full HD video smoothly, not to mention all the audio files too.

Trick is I need to keep the HTPC on to use it. Actually I am not sure if I have talked about the same thing.

Added on July 19, 2012, 2:34 pmJust found out that Air Playit (which is a free apps) is also available on Android platform too. And it can play flac files well.

But if XBMC is available on iOS, its going to be a no brainer. oh and xbmc is also free too.

XBMC is available on iOS since last year I believe. Hands down the best media player for iPad for me.

still will say and advocate iPad native video kick ass any 3rd party apps on video playback. Heck it handles cabac 16 frames no issues.

still that need converting and so on
what the 3rd party is the convenience to allow you is to play any kind of video, with any kind of subtitle, just drag in via itune, no need sync, no need converting, no need changing file type, no need a lot of step just to see it in itune with the picture synopsis and so on, especially with video that you're sure not going to keep it in your ipad after you finish watching it, not when your ipad only 64gb or even less

thats cause depends on the quality ure watching.

all my encodes plays now on my appletv flawlessly and homesharing on mutiple pc's and ipad.also streaming from my media computer. also no issue with airplay. Hence moral of story. Do the work in the beginning , Reap the benefits for the future. No issues with any apple devices. Theres no excuse that u have when ppl come to ure place and want to download ure movies or stream etc from u .. with excuses like oh u need a third party app etc etc.

so lol.. all this third app does is limit u with poor quality videos.

btw again on coverting.. its encoding not converting. most vids out there are in mkv already. the video codec is the same. Y apple mp4 is more advance cause its made for streaming and the coding on the metatag etc all is optimized for streaming. Y u think quicktime is very popular with online streaming sites. Anybody can tell u sites with quicktime are faster in streaming with higher quality compared to flash based flv.f4v( this is exactly same as mp4 except different container)

Added on August 7, 2012, 10:20 amhere is a example of my movie's collection at my computer. NAS has a bigger collection but way older stuff and more on tv shows

All with cover, metatag, subs, multi audio ( AAC dual and DD for 5.1)

windows native without any codec etc. Heck even windows media player plays this flawlessly without the need for extra codecs. So when ppl take my stuff. No issues other than the subs which can only be used by itunes. ( Because of the handler tag)

Warning 1920x1200..

Clean look with no multiple files for one movie. Its optimized and loads fast. Streams fast. Apple quicktime format is awesome. Its fast on buffering from homesharing to apple tv and also for ipad airplay.

Hence again advocate on just changing the container and re encoding. Long run saves a lot of time.
