StreamToMe also displays subtitles in SRT files, SSA files, embedded SSA in MKV files, and MOV text tracks. There is also a random/shuffle option which comes in handy when you are listening to your album collection (not so much when you are watching a TV series unfortunately, since you want it to be played on the sequential order). StreamToMe allows you to play all files in a folder, so this way you can play a whole album on the iPad without having to play each file manually. I’ve successfully tested playing MP4, AVI, MOV, and MP3 files without any problems on my iPad. According to Projects With Love, StreamToMe supports these following media format by the time this review was written: MP4, AVI, MOV, FLV, MPG, MKV, MP3, AAC, WMA and WMV. Navigating between folders is easy and really fast. Thumbnails of the movies or the album artwork will be displayed as well, along with all the files on the selected folder. You can browse your shared folders on the Sidebar (like a file explorer) and also control the movie/music playback on the main screen. Configuration is almost none as long as you have installed the ServeToMe application in your computer and in less than a minute, I could already see my computer and my shared drives on the home network through WiFi.

What you need to do is simply install StreamToMe App on the iPad and also install the ServeToMe application in your computer. But why bother? StreamToMe allows you to watch videos directly from your computer’s hard drive to iPad while doing the conversion on the fly! I know there are some applications that allow you to convert your current video files on your computer to a format that iPad will happily play. There are not many applications at the moment for iPad which provide direct streaming from your computer’s hard drive to your iPad.
