New iPad & Streaming MKV/AVI Via NAS

    Hi,

    I used to have an iPad one but found the main problem of streaming from my NAS the ipad always wanted to copy the file local to the cache completely before playing which was annoying an resulted in clearing the cache all the time and taking ages just for a small avi.

    Just wanted to see if there is any improvement in this area? I know there is airvideo and other variances but I want something to browse my Nas/microServer and just play what I throw at it without copying/lag/delay.

    Having tested on a quadcore 1.5 Transformer prime I can play MKV files with no lag and no wait. Just want to know if anyone has a solution to the ipad for this setup?

    If you're jailbroken, you could use XBMC. Works fine on my iPad 2.

    Check out plex. Does not require a jail break but does require a mac/PC to act as a media server. I highly recommend it though.

    On an iPad 2, I'm using GoodPlayer which has an option to use the dual core CPU and most 720p MKVs play back just fine. It supports DLNA, FTP, SMB, etc so I imagine it should be able to access a typical NAS without the need for a server side app to be installed (like Air Video and Plex do):
