The best way to stream your movie over the cloud for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch/Apple TV!

Lots of my friends asking, what is the best way to watch movie from iPad/iPhone/iPod touch and Apple TV, especially support any format, without conversion/file transferring etc.

From my experience, after tried out all the apps and trick like AirPlayer (iOS to Mac/PC), AirFlick (Mac/PC to Apple TV), AirVideo App (Mac/PC to iOS) and some other stream media app. I would say they are all fine, but not friendly for end-user who just want to get the thing up and running without go through so many command line or setting etc.

Also the movie player app like VLC/OPlayer HD etc. Most user don’t want to transfer file manually into the iOS device via iTunes as it take sometime, unless you want to carry it to the place without Internet connection, then Oplayer can do a very good job. But playing RMVB still very painful as RMVB encoding is depend on hardware encoding, the developer of VLC/OPlayer HD can’t break the rule of app development from Apple, so i don’t think there is a better app to handle RMVB playback at the moment. The rest of the format are fine.

But none of above can compare with ZumoCast app (FREE), and ZumoCast server running in your Mac/PC/Linux.

To make it simple, watch this video clip and you will understand why:

And from iOS 4.2.1, you are able to use AirPlay features to stream media from your iOS device to Apple TV. Zumocast is a must as you can enjoy it immediately with your Apple TV without any setup required! Anywhere, anytime!

Where to get ZumoCast app?

I know, you can’t find it from iTunes App Store and even you tried to search it from Cydia. I think ZumoCast is taken down by Apple for some reasons. As the developer of ZumoCast are announcing their software distribution has been suspended while make several enhancements. Not sure when it will be back to App Store, hopefully it will.

I got mine last time so it is still in my App list, so i’m very happy with it.
