About:
Air Video Server HD enables local network streaming of video files from a Mac to iOS devices and Apple TV. It automatically transcodes incompatible formats on-the-fly, eliminating the need for manual file conversion. The server provides a simple web interface for managing your video library and sharing access with other devices.
Key Features:
  • Real-time transcoding of unsupported video formats
  • Web-based interface for library management
  • Streaming to multiple devices simultaneously
  • Support for subtitles and external audio tracks
Use Cases:
  • Streaming personal video collection to iPhone/iPad without conversion
  • Sharing media library with family members on the same network
  • Watching videos stored on Mac via Apple TV
Alternatives:
  • Plex – More feature-rich but requires account and has premium features
  • VLC – Direct playback only, no server-based streaming to other devices
