SoI have an app (other than My Cloud) that lets me watch videos at home from network source or stored on my iPad. My favorite app for this is called File Browser (aka FB), but there are other apps out there for doing this, too.
Anyone who has an iPad or iPhone and uses it for this purpose ought to have FB installed. It is an excellent and feature-packed app that is upgraded frequently (ex: it can now cast media to Chromecast)
OK, before I tell you my good news for me (and likely you, too) I just wanted to reply to above comment: I believe you meant to write Handbrake rather than handshake (for those folks reading this, too.)
OK, here we go with the good news. I had success and discovered where I messed up, too. I also learned some things, which is always good. First thing I learned is that we can download our mp4 type videos from our NAS or anywhere on our network, and watch them on airplane on our iPad. So, now not sure why you could not do it. Maybe, like me, when I tried, you made a mistake or two as well.
I find video folder I want to download from, and tap the 3-dot menu near top and choose Select from drop down menu and a check box appears next to all videos. I tap the check box next to video I want to download to put a check in the box, and another menu appears, so select Download. This video will start downloading, and a tiny moving arrow appears on video thumbnail.
Video is there, so . . . To assure video will play in Airplane Mode, completely shut down My Cloud app and test when Wi-Fi is off or when Airplane Mode is engaged . Go to iPad Settings and remove iPad from Wi-Fi Open My Cloud app, and message says only stored content is available. Go into Downloads again, find video and play it! Success, it plays with no Wi-Fi signal needed!
I downloaded two iTunes movie rentals in anticipation of some long flights. Even though they show as "downloaded" in my TV App I can't access them in flight. With my device in airplane mode all I get is a blank screen when I start the TV App. I've searched internet and I get about 50% respondents saying you can access videos in airplane mode and the rest say no. It should be crystal clear - can I, and if so how do I?
The resolution is quite simple...BEFORE you place your phone in Airplane Mode...you MUST attempt to watch the first few seconds of the movie while connected to wireless (Airport Wireless, Home Wireless before you left home, or MiFi wireless). The key is for some odd reason, Apple needs to have the Movie started and cached and then when you go into Airplane Mode to watch the movie. We also now get 48 hours instead of 24 hours to review the Movie ?. Or at least for me and my wife as of December 2017, we are getting 48 hours.
I had the exact same thing happen on my flight. Downloaded several movies but I wasn't able to open the "tv" page, it said cannot connect no wifi. It seems pointless to need connection to watch videos that are already downloaded. It's weird because on one flight I was able to watch videos because I was watching before the plane took off and was able to watch during that flight but on the return flight I tried to watch them after take off and wasn't able to. Do we need to watch them before turning on airplane mode? What is the exact steps we need to do? Please fix this on your next update. I hate that we need connection to watch downloaded videos.
At any rate, by this time this the Airplane! spoofs made any more movies like this impossible for a time. How could you do this seriously when stars of the genre like Robert Stack and Peter Graves were sending it up? Although as you just saw it was tried. Starflight One actually came out a year after Airplane II, which had been set on the space shuttle! Decades later of course, we would once again get things like United 93 (2006), Flight (2012), and Sully (2016), though these films are much more tasteful (and by definition less colorful) than the pioneering exercises in excess the 1970s produced.
They make Bluetooth adapters with a headphone Jack so people can use AirPods or other bt headsets on a plane. If you pair the ConnectClip to the Bluetooth adapter then you should be able to listen via your aids.
Try buying a Neckloop to Pair with T-Coil Equipped Hearing Aids. There are several brands. The neckloop have a plug to connect to the airplane sound system. This worked well with my Phonak Paradise. You can also use an audio wireless receiver and transmitter
I have a Mini-Mic I got from Costco that I used with Kirkland 6 and now with Jabra Pros. It connects to the phone by bluetooth and I plug it into the headphone jack on the plane. I had to get a cord on Amazon to plug into the unit which i plug into the plane headphone jack. Works great. Have used it for years. There are other blue tooth adapators that do the same thing.
Pair the transmitter with Apple AirPods Pro - noise cancelling EarPods
and then you can watch airplane movies and the sound is transmitted directly into the EarPods and your ears ( I have removed my hearing aids first). And also you can check Amazon for cheaper noise cancelling earPods or earphones, but I strongly recommend you purchase noise cancelling.
Bottom line It Works Fabulously!
In this scenario, the Oticon EduMic is needed, not the ConnectClip, because the EduMic has a headphone jack. Just bring along a 3.5 mm cable. Important to also mute your hearing aid mics while streaming.
5.0 Greater Compatibility: Make non-Bluetooth devices become wireless. BH298A has equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 technology and CSR chip. It lets wired stereos and headphones get faster wireless signals 65.6 feet from your Bluetooth devices. 12H...
I use a Bluetooth transmitter and a ConnectClip. There is a bit of latency, but otherwise it works well. I find that muting the ambient sound and turning the volume up is necessary to overcome the background noise.
The first five or 10 minutes of "Airplane II -- The Sequel" are genuinely funny -- so funny I thought maybe this movie was going to work. That turned out to be a premature hope. The new inspirations quickly run out, and "Airplane II" turns into a retread, plundering the same situations and characters that made the original "Airplane" so funny.
Too bad, but I can't say I wasn't warned. Three weeks ago, the nation's film critics received letters from a Los Angeles public relations agency, advising us that their clients David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker, the makers of the original "Airplane," had no connection with the sequel.
That made sense, since the original "Airplane" was such a berserk, manic celebration of every possible zany idea involving airplanes, that how could they have enough material left over for a second movie? Still, there's always the possibility that new talent could come along with new ideas for a sequel, and that was what I was hoping for with "Airplane II."
It doesn't work out that way. After the movie's opening burst of comic inspiration, it settles into a pattern, recycling "Airplane" and even repeating some of the jokes (like the one involving Peter Graves as the licentious, perverted pilot).
The big difference this time is that the aircraft isn't a passenger jet, but a space shuttle to the moon. After the onboard computer goes haywire, the shuttle departs from course and hurtles through the asteroid belt as it begins to fall toward the sun. (I think the asteroid belt and the sun are in opposite directions, but that, of course, is the last kind of question you're supposed to ask during a movie like this.)
There was a strange thing about the original "Airplane." Even though it was spoof, even though it was an anarchic put on from beginning to end, it somehow did hook into our fears of flying. At some dumb, basic level, we were concerned about how that airplane was ever going to get back to earth again, and our concern gave the movie a narrative thread from beginning to end. Just like the original 1970 "Airport" (itself a pretty silly movie), the original spoof worked partly because of how we feel about airplanes.
"Airplane II" never really seems to know whether it's about a spaceship. It's all sight gags, one-liners, puns, funny signs and scatological cross-references. There's no story. I'm not saying a movie this silly needs to have a story, but it wouldn't have hurt.
Another difference between Parts 1 and 2 is that the first movie was able to exploit our associations with its stars, particularly Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack and Peter Graves. They played against their own images as only they could. Part 2 doesn't really use them; it just hires them and has them stand around doing the dumb stuff in the script. The first movie was satire; the second is yuks.
And yet, if "Airplane II -The Sequels" ever turns up on a double bill with a movie you do want to see, I'd suggest staying in the theater for the first 10 minutes. The gags involving the metal-detectors, the check-in counter and. the passenger-unloading zone are really funny. Maybe the makers of "Airplane II" exhausted their powers of comic invention at that point. Comedy is fairly hard work.
Some prime examples of fatal or near-fatal moments that got me included (but are not limited to) the woman getting slapped over and over and over again by a line of basically all the passengers and pretty much the entire plane getting some sort of food poisoning.
In most movies, they use a greenscreen or a video background to make it look like the car is driving. In Airplane! the background does not match the drive, and as Rex makes his way to help save the plane the backdrop is all over the place.
