Keeping the resolution low, saves on bandwidth and network congestion and looks fine to my eyes.
#Servetome for ipad 720p#
Maybe it's just me, but I see no difference in 1080p, 720p video when transcoded down to 480p, even on the Retina Display iPad3. So the StreamToMe/ServeToMe is a perfect combo of client and server apps, that happily traverse NAT via UPnP, as well as handle the necessary transcoding etc, and of course I want to move this function OFF my main desktop and the R/Pi is a perfect choice of hardware to do this, provided it is up to snuff for transcoding the h.264 video stream to AT LEAST 480p. You will need either a static IP address, a DynamicDNS service, or another way of getting around a changing home WAN IP address (I wrote a script for this purpose-pm me if you want to know more about that).
ServeToMe is also accessible from outside your home LAN via the UPnP functions of your router, which I have also tested with my iPad running StreamToMe and can access all my media from home, WITHOUT having to live within the constraints of cloud music storage services. I have an original iPhone 2G 8GB which I use around the house to stream music via StreamToMe (yes it runs on iOS 3.1.3) pulling music from my Mac Mini running 10.6.8/iTunes 11/ServeToMe, and it works wonderfully. ITunes sharing has failed to work on all my devices after MUCH effort, and anything older than iOS 4.x cannot see the iTunes Home Sharing in the current versions.

R/Pi headless, in glovebox of car, stealthed, serving media via ServeToMe over WiFi to iOS and Android devices for different passengers I too have been seeking an answer to this question.
