Problems with streaming videos

[Jens]

Hi,

I just downloaded the app AirPlayer from the Apple-AppStore.
After installing I tried to open 2 different videos (.mp4 50MB; .avi 1700MB).
Both videos first loaded up to ~99%, after a couple of seconds the name of the video appeared in the upper bar, then the video reloaded up to <100% and so on.
This process was endless. I restarted the app - it didn't change something.

I'm using an iPhone 4. As a mediaserver I have a Fritzbox 7390.
I was logged in into my WLAN, VPN was deactivated.
I checked the first video (.mp4) with another app - there the streaming was OK.

Can anyone help me with that?


PS: Sorry for the bad language, I'm not a native speaker.

Have you tried to enlarge cache size in the settings page, and change plugin in the settings page?

Thanks for the reply! Now it works
I set the Cache to max. and changed the plugin to quicktime for the .mp4 video - this one works great.
For the .avi video i set the plugin to ffmpeg - the video runs but audio and video are not synchronous. Maybe it's due to the size of 1.7GB.

Today I checked if I can reach the mediaserver via 3G + VPN, unfortunately the mediaserver wasn't found in the app.
With another app it worked.

Any hints?
