Air Media Server 4+

I haven’t been able to get anywhere with the current version of this app as it crashes instantly on my 15” Retina Macbook Pro. Giving two stars instead of one in hope that this gets fixed quickly.

I tried this over the ultra reliable Air Video because it claimes to play ISO files. It tried for a while on my iPad but would only play the first 5 minutes or so then essentially thought the movie was over and it just quit. Every once in a while it seemed to know that the movie was 90 minutes and would work. The devs really need to spell out what sort of ISO will play and what won't so they can be created properly. The way it is, its pretty useless. It did seem to handle .avi's pretty well.

From my iPhone, trying to play a large ISO file says loading for 10 minutes until I give up and quit it or the phone sleeps. Never even tries to play the first 5 minutes. If this worked it would be a winner but, sadly, it doesn't.

This is the “server” app. Is there another that’s just for logging into the AirMedia system? It didn’t show up upon initial search, but I asked IT for help and I think they found it. Each time I tried to open the “server” app, it crashed, but the other seems to work.
