Nifty app.

I've been using AirVideo for a while with very few issues (doesn't play VOBs unless you rename them, and playback get stuck sometimes - but that could also be my iPad wifi which is a bit flaky). ZumoCast seems to do equally well with video, except it's a bit flaky as well - some videos wouldn't begin with a DRM error and then work fine on the next try?!

But the bigger win is my music library is now fully available on my iPad (I bought a 16G one and never synced the music) and the setup was almost trivial. It's a bit buggy though since I started playing music and switched to the Files tab and when I came back to the Music tab, I couldn't see any of my music anymore even though it was playing in the background.

This is going to become even more epic once the iPad gets iOS4 with background music, etc. Also, not sure if this would work if my iPad was on a different wifi network than my computer?

Good job in any case.

Agreed with what you said. I didn't encounter any DRM error's however I found video playback went out of sync with audio when I rotated the orientation I was holding my iPad. Other than that the program performed beautifully. Coupled with the price tag of free and I don't know of anything that beats it. Awesome.

Yep, it'll work from a different network -- 3G as well.
