There are several operations that apps need commonly to do against their APPX, or from the Internet that are not easy. Streams helper class wraps up some of the most common operations we need in multiple apps.
I recently noticed that in VLC streamer, there is the option to "Add DVD" for conversion/streaming. I went ahead and gave it a shot with a DVD, and selected the disc drive as the "folder" for VLC to stream. I have a Windows 10 operating system. Well, my computer is chugging away, and it says that 27+ minutes out of 181 have been processed.
The helper will stream your movies to your iPhone or iPad. If you use the default firewall on your system, then the helper will configure that correctly. If you use your own firewall application, then you'll need to make sure it allows VLC Streamer to communicate through the firewall.
