Netsync Media Server is a useful utility that, alongside its made-to-measure iOS counterpart, makes it as straightforward as possible for you to stream videos from your Windows computer to some of the most popular iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads, for example
And, the best part is, it's not at all complicated to set up.

User-friendly and decently-equipped media server

As far as media server interfaces go, it's safe to say that Netsync Media Server boasts a very functional, clearly above-average UI, with a simplistic set of novice-accessible features and non-complicated layout. At this point, it's well worth pointing out that you can add various other users (family members, friends, you name it) to you media server with different levels of access.
The Transcode section is also definitely worth a closer inspection as it enables you to choose both video and audio bitrate values, select either RAW, 4k2k, 1080p, 720p and 480p profiles, and even use technologies like Intel Quick Sync and nVidia NVENC video transcoding for streaming and playing your videos, provided, of course, that your PC meets the following requirements.
Another noteworthy feature stems from the fact that the server also has the ability to automatically show subtitles for your videos, just as long as they both have the same prefix. And to make everything as easy as possible for you, the utility also provides you with the option to add various videos to a Favorites section, quite useful, especially when you're dealing with large video libraries.

Provides you with one of the easiest ways to stream content from your PC to your iOS devices, just as long as you're willing to buy the iOS app

All in all, Netsync Media Server is a useful and very decent utility that allows even the most novice of users to manage and stream video content without feeling too intimidating. With that in mind, in spite of its somewhat limited feature-set, there's not much we can fault this app for, especially since it's also free. On the other hand, though, the iOS app isn't.
