Hi,
Well, when I say stream I guess I mean remote access. Orb sounds good,
but despite doing some homework I can't find out whether or not the
Android app will play ISO files, for that is what the fillms will be.
As for my syatem, Windows 7 64bit. If anyone has ever played an ISO
file on an android via a remote connection, or just the file on the
phone, please let me know. I am reliably told that it's hard to play
ISO files.
