Air Video Server HD
Air Video Server HD is a streaming utility that allows Mac users to serve video content from their computer to Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV) over a local network or the internet. It transcodes videos on-the-fly to formats compatible with Apple's devices, making it possible to watch your personal video library anywhere. The app is particularly useful for users with large video collections in formats that Apple devices don't natively support, or who want seamless streaming without manual file conversion.

1 suggestionAir Video Server HD does not appear to have a native Apple Silicon version available. The latest version in Homebrew (2.3.0-beta1u1) is still Intel-only and requires Rosetta 2 translation. The app shows signs of minimal active maintenance—it has been in beta for an extended period with no stable release. Given the app's age and lack of native development momentum, and considering that Rosetta 2 support is ending, you have two options: (1) Continue using the app under Rosetta 2 for now if your workflow depends on it, but understand this is not a long-term solution, or (2) consider switching to **Infuse** (native Apple Silicon support) or **Plex** (also native), both of which offer similar video streaming capabilities with broader device support and active development. Infuse in particular is known for excellent format compatibility and a polished interface.
