If you want to turn the upcoming Apple iPad into an UPnP media receiver, PlugPlayer will be the application to check out.

What happens if you already have a pile of media content that you want to stream from a UPnP media server to the new Apple iPad? Well, the Apple iPad does not offer UPnP support out-of-box to give you seamless streaming opportunities like that, but eHomeUpgrade has dug up a $4.99 iPhone app called PlugPlayer that'll solve your problem.

The PlugPlayer application streams music and video formats that play correctly on iPhone OS, with the exception of files purchased through the iTunes Store:

  • Audio: AIFF, AIFC, WAVE, CAF, NeXT, ADTS, MPEG Audio Layer 3, AAC
  • Video: .mov, .mp4, .mpv, .3gp - using either H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0 video (no b-frames) or MPEG-4 Part 2 video Simple Profile

    A complete list of features as well as media servers and media renderers the PlugPlayer is known to be working with can be found on PlugPlayer's support page.
