Cant stream mp4 video on new iPad. Is this a common problem?

Hi Larry - welcome to the forum!

You'll need to better describe what you are trying to accomplish? Are you attempting to stream a video from another source to your iPad, and if so from where? Or do you have a video on your iPad and are you trying to stream to another device, such as a HDTV? Answers to these questions will let others provide more specific responses - good luck!

Thx. Trying to stream mp4 video fom a website. I get message "file format not supported." I have also downloaded "PlayerXtreme" app to address this, but it does not automatically start when I click the web page for the video stream link. Also, forgive my ignorance, but I do not know how to "right click" on iPad or how to save a download rather than stream it.

I have just downloaded this app to have a look at it. Have you turned on the wifi in the app under settings? And entered the address found here? A right click on an iPad is just to do a long press and you should get an option box pop up. Hope this helps.
