Air video allow you to stream movies etc from your computer. Their are numerous other apps but having used air video I would highly recommend it never had any problems.

The native Videos and Music apps will stream stuff from the PC's iTunes library using iTunes Home Sharing.


To stream iTunes unfriendly media (e.g. divx/xvid videos), I use PS3MediaServer on my PC and AirPlayer on my iPad.

I used to use AirVideo, as Tigerpaws does, but ditched it as it required its own server on the PC. Using AirPlayer means I can just run the one server on my PC (PS3MediaServer) which will stream to my PS3, Xbox 360, and iPad...

It should simply see it.

Are you using the latest version of PS3MediaServer?

v 1.5.1 was released at the end of January, v 1.5.0 in November. Both should work without issue with AirPlayer.

There is no AirPlayer media server for PC. Are you sure you're not using AirVideo instead? That does not work with PS3MediaServer, and requires its own PC server to be run.

Yup, that's what I thought. As I said, AirVideo needs its own server, whereas AirPlayer can use PS3MediaServer and other UPnP Media Servers.
