How to stream from Duo to Ipad over the Internet
Is there a way i can play movies from my Duo on my iPad over the Internet.
Basically internet is just a network, so yes that's possible but it depends really on the speed of your internet connection (Ipad download and NAS upload) and the size of the movie you want to play. I believe you can already stream to your ipad locally so you NAS is powerful enough for that ?
If you try to play a 10Gb film that last two hours, you would want 5Gb/hour=1,39Mbyte/s=11,2Mbit/s in upload. Impossible with ADSL. For 700Mb films of 2 hours, you need 350Mbyte/jour=5,83Mbyte/min=0,097Mbyte/s=0,8Mbit/s, so this should pass with ADSL but right to the limit. Also keep in mind that I considered linear transfer which may not be the case since films are compressed and some scenes may require more bandwidth than others.
One way to do this is to reroute FTP ports and connect via FTP (preferably SFTP) via internet. Should also work with HTTP. AFP/SMB are not meant to be used over internet (not that secure) but they should work too. then use a player that can read the format of the file (avi/mkv...) via FTP.
Another one is to setup a VPN server, connect to it then do as you would locally.
