Is it normal for video to pause or skip when playing over wireless data of my phone ? I have 4G.

This is while in a car with someone else driving.

Sometimes I stream a 1.9 GB file sometimes it is a 9 to 20 GB. Depends on if it is a tv show or movie.

Never heard of it.

It allows you to stream video from your computer to your phone or tablet over wifi or 4G !

It works on iOS because that is where is natively supported and there is a third party app someone created for it for free with a little ad then paid with no ad on Android market called AirVid.

Works only with normal Air Video server though.

Yes the server itself is a beta but it always has been. Works fine though.

Hmm, interesting. May have to dust off my ipad and give this a whirl.

What kind of upload bandwidth you have on your home connection (or wherever the video is served from)? Your '4G' is also suspect. Is it like that when you're on wifi too?

I used to use AirVideo as well. It was one of the first of its kind. But now there's Plex and others.

5 Mbps.

No it is not like that when I am on Wifi.

BTW would using 4G while in a car, when someone else is driving of course, cause a slowdown of 4G ?

Lower the bitrate for mobile data? Or maybe try Plex?

It is already at 1536 kbit/s

Is Plex any better ?

For me Plex replaced Air Video because of a true library function and real cross-platform compatibility. I don't know if it streams better though.

Isn't Plex $5 a month though to use all of the important features ?

Yeah or $40 a year.
