StreamToMe + ServeToMe competed with AirVideo, Plex, AirMediaCenter and many others that also implement Apple's HTTP Live Streaming for personal media streaming. The ServeToMe server has performed live encryption (conversion to desired format) or live remuxing (moving to the streaming container without transcoding) as needed, including bitrate changes to support variable network conditions. StreamToMe was on a lightweight server, called ServeToMe, to stream media from the user's computer to the device in Apple's HTTP Live Streaming format over the local network or the Internet. Some StreamToMe promotional screenshots from the iOS 6 era. StreamToMe was a streaming music, video and image app for iOS and macOS that I wrote and distributed via respective App Stores. In more organized news, the book I wrote with Chris Eidhof and Florian Kugler, App Architecture in Swift, was released in May, and you can get the finished book from objc.io. I have been busy with other things and have barely touched CwlViews at the time.
Predicting the Future is Hard : It has been 8 months since my previous article when I said I would release CwlViews "in a few weeks". Finally, I'll talk about why I've decided to just pull it from the store – not open source or sell it – even if it still works for many.
I'm talking about why I lost interest in StreamToMe, and at times carefully neglected my own product.
This will be a discussion of how it's having an app on the App Store that's economically successful but forever problematic from a support and maintenance perspective. It's a deep sad experience for me – like I've lost a faithful pet – so I wanted to write a quick retrospective.
#SERVETOME FOR IPAD MAC#
Last night, I removed the StreamToMe app from iOS and Mac App Stores, after 9 years of sale.
