AirServer is a new application launched yesterday in Cydia that turns our iDevice into a receiver compatible with AirPlay and AirTunes. Normally only Apple TV 2Gs allow streaming via AirPlay but this new tweak removes this limitation so now we can stream from one iDevice to another or from a Mac to an iDevice. Practically, if we have an HDMI adapter for the iPad, we can stream via AirPlay from the Mac to the iPad and we can watch movies on a TV directly from the Mac using an iPad tablet or even an iPhone as an intermediary.
AirServer costs €4.99, but it is an extremely cheap alternative for an Apple TV 2G.
AirServer for iOS is the first application that transforms your iOS device into an AirTunes and AirPlay receiver. It's like having an AirPort Express and Apple TV in the palm of your hand, because it lets you stream audio, videos, photos, and slide shows from your Mac to your iOS device or between iOS devices.
REQUIREMENTS:
- iOS 4.0 or newer on device running AirServer.
- Streaming audio from computer: iTunes 9.2 or newer.
- Streaming video from computer: iTunes 10.2 or newer
- Streaming from iOS device: iOS 4.2.1 or newer.
- DRM protected content is not supported.
- Devices must be on the same WiFi network.
