AirMediaPlayer enables AirPlay Video Streaming on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Windows PC

Posted by unlocker under News on Monday Jan 17, 2011

People from the Technical University of Serres developed an application called AirMediaPlayer, which is initially a project that allows users to stream different media content on their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Windows PC. However, Erica Sadun from TUAW has already developed a similar application called AirPlayer that allows users to stream media content on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Mac.

The latest version of iOS is iOS 4.2.1 enables users to stream and watch videos as well as other digital media content from any iDevice to a television. This is probably one of the coolest features of the new iOS; however, the AirPlay functionality was limited to users with Apple TV. This means that unless you own an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and an Apple TV 2G, you will not be able to enjoy the service.

The AirPlayer for Mac and AirMediaPlayer for Windows removed such restriction and allows to stream media content to their Mac or Windows computer. With AirPlayer and AirMediaPlayer, you no longer have to jailbreak your iDevice.

In order for you to stream media content to your Windows computer, you need to follow and remember these things:

  • It only works on Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
  • You have to download and install #
  • .NET framework runtimes and associated files (.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or later) for AirMediaPlayer to work. You can download it from Microsoft’s website.
  • Bonjour for Windows (note it comes bundled with iTunes, so you don’t need it if iTunes is already installed else you can download Bonjour Print Services for Windows).
  • iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1.
  • Download AirMediaPlayer (the developers seem to have pulled the link to the download, we have found this link or this one but please proceed with caution and at your own risk).

Once everything is installed, you will be able to stream different digital media content from any of your iDevice to your Windows PC.

But wait, you might get your iPhones unlocked in less than a month as the unlock will be released sooner than later.

Good news for iPhone 4 users who want to unlock their handsets. Sherif Hashim, an iPhone hacking expert, had figured out a way to activate iPhone without the need for the official carrier SIM and hinted other users that software method to unlock iPhone 4 and it will be released in less than a month.

This is through Twitter as one of Hashim’s followers if he could get his iPhone 4 unlock before he goes to military service. Sherif Hashim replied in one of the tweets of one of his followers saying that he can get his unlock before January 16.

Sherif Hashim found a baseband exploit a few months back and it looks like it can be used to unlock all basebands including baseband 02.10.04 (that came bundled with iOS 4.1) and baseband 03.10.01 (that came bundled with iOS 4.2.1).
