Stream ipad video over WiFi.

tallus

Does anybody know if it's possible to stream video from an ipad to a samsung smart tv over wifi without the need for an apple tv or cables?

Dawn it the thread title should read Wifi not wife!

I don't think you can. It will only work with an Apple TV box.Your only option would be to get one but don't tell the wife!

Great thread title

Don't think it's possible without a box or cables however if it is I'd love to know.

You'll need a gadget in the middle to receive the stream and render it to the TV. I've a Synology NAS storing the videos. Part of the functionality allows a redirect stream using the Apps on the iDevice. This tells the synology to play the stream straight to the Samsung TV. The TV has a DNLA receiver built in and it's on the home network, it's not wifi though, so I run a cable to the router.

Well worth the €109, it will give you even more stuff for our smart tv. Definitely if you have an iPad it's great for streaming stuff. You can also see your photo stream directly on your tv.

Thread does not deliver what i expected from the title

Cheers for the replies guys.

The thread title is making me laugh now.

Was thinking of switching from a galaxy tab 2, to ipad, but might give it a miss if wireless streaming is not an option.

There's no wifi in the kitchen. :pac:

Ok .. I'll get my misogynistic coat and leave the building.

Your wife would need to be fitted with the appropriate receiver, but chances are her two eyes might work.

I giggled. Out loud.

If this works over wifi and wife, is that stereo?

Who's Dawn? The wife or the mistress? I think we should be told.

Ok here goes. Mine's a DS213, should be the same for you guys.

Synology setup with Media Server and Video Station. This needs to be accessible on the local network. See 1st Pic.
iDevice running DS Video.
Samsung TV with media player functionality. (It's boring but it works)
Additionally I've a WDTV Live box, this renders better than the TV's player, more formats, includes screen art, and all the rich media info.

Open DSVideo, login to the Synology, find the show/movies etc that you'd like to play and click the player icon top right (pic 2).

Make your choice for the rendered stream (pic 3), I've got Home TV (Samsung) and WDTV Live. The end result is that the stream begins playback from that device.

If I've answered that for ya, great. If not, let me know what other details you need.

I'm going to see if I can get DSVideo to work using a popcorn hour media tank.
Thanks for the post Tazium.
