Help! Stream from NAS to iPad with AirVideo App?

Unfortunately, you'll need to install AirVideo server on your PC and leave your PC on for this to work. To access the NAS content, you'll need to map a drive to the NAS on your PC, then add this to the list of folders you want to share out in the Air Video Server app. Then add the PC IP address in Air Video on the iPad. There are ways you can connect directly to the NAS (eg DLNA) but AirVideo will convert pretty much any file type on the fly.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Not true. If you have an X86 ReadyNAS, such as the Ultra, Pro or NVX, just install the AirVideo add-on from here: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=49079

I just set it up on my new Ultra and it works great with live conversion. Still trying to determine if it's possible for remote access, but so far it's a great start. Haven't tried 1.1 yet.

Indeed, bet you a fiver he hasn't got an x86 though.

Ok,
Using a pro and the new readynas plugin, but every single file is showing up as invalid on my ipad, even ones that are already iPad ready. Any thoughts on what i might be missing? Anyone get this to work as a remote yet, or is that still a pc only feature.
Thanks in advance

I instal Air Server 1.0 and 1.1. on my readynas pro. Dont work!

Servis run, klient on my Ipad no work... see nas, but connect in Nas - media 0 files... Please, tell me, step by step install connect nas and ipad.

Found this thread and would comment my experiences ...

+ Installed the Addon fine.
+ My iPhone found my Pro immediately and logged on
+ I get the same problem with everything being invalid when I try and play it

+ I also need to know if you can tell the Pro different folders to monitor ? Can't find how to do it anywhere and if anyone can enlighten me I would be very grateful


Update. 18th January 2011

You tell the add-on which folders to monitor by SSH ing into the ReadyNAS and editing the file readynas.properties

Syntax
Folder Label 1:/c/mymediafolder1, Folder Label 2:/c/mymediafolder2

Not the comma between each different location to scan.


Thanks

Same problem...all files invalid.

FYI - The windows server works fine and plays the videos.

I also have the same problem... ...all files invalid?!

No problems here. Just installed 1.1, edit the readynas.properties file for the folders I wanted, set password, reboot. Everything works.

I installed V.1.0 und is working fine so far. But it only shows files contained in folder "videos". As far as I read this thread I have to edit the file readynas.proporties via ssh to show additional folders. I wonder if there is no more comfortable way?

thanks.
