What you're trying to do I've never heard of it being possible before.

I think that this is possible using Plex, ask on their forum, but you would need to buy the Plex app for both Android and IOS, or maybe just Android and use the Plexbmc add-on.

After trying several different ones out and failing.
Download pixel DMS media server on android phone. Turn off WiFi and start hotspot on phone. open app and share folder (I'm using external SD) and press play button at bottom to activate.
On iPad download ArkMC Lite. Then disconnect WiFi and Connect iPad to phone via hotspot
Open App and you will see pixel server. Browse folder to your files and play/view
I only have 1 film @ mo on phone but tried and worked!
