iPhone using iStream
The HP MediaSmart Server iStream is an application that allows you to stream photos, music, and
videos stored on your HP MediaSmart Server to your iPhone or iPod touch from anywhere that
you have an Internet connection. iStream can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store.
When using iStream, the video is on your server and it is streamed to your iPhone over an Internet
connection. The quality of the Internet connection can effect playback of the video. iStream
works best on high speed connections like 3G and WiFi. So, you want to create a profile that
creates a converted video with a high enough resolution that the video is enjoyable to watch and a
small enough file size so that the streams smoothly to your iPhone.
