I have tried several different media players over the last few years but none of them really did what I wanted. My primary purpose for purchasing this product was to be able to use my TV to display a slideshow. I have an extensive (19,000) photo library that is managed on my Mac using Photos. This product has allowed me to simply make my photo library work on my TV. The reason I mention great customer service is that when I first installed it there was no content available for photos, the entire reason I purchased it. I sent an email asking about the issue and had a response within an hour. There was a resolution and an update to the App within hours. That is Amazing Customer Service

I was looking for a simple UPnP / DNLA server to stream videos from a dedicated Mac Mini to my collection of devices (Macs, iPhone, iPad, Roku, Samsung Smart TV) I tried Plex which has a nice interface but I deemed was too tedious to set up with my existing video files.. I downloaded FireStream (Version 2.60) on their 7-day free trial and had it set up and working in about 2 minutes. No special folder/file structure needed. Just select your media folder or volume and hit the start button. No issues whatsoever in the trial period and I purchased. I use the VLC player on the MacOS / iOS clients which works perfectly with FireStream. The server showed up instantly on my network-connected Roku.

I'm giving this app 5 stars because the email support has been so good. When configured correctly it works really well. The app still needs a little more work though. I was only able to get Photos working when I selected 'Use as System Photo Library' in Photos preferences. This was not obvious until Maksim in customer support told me to select it in preferences. Also, three other device were listed as authorized which I never authorized. I had to de-authorize them to get things working. They still show up in the app however. Finally, I have a new LG smart TV but could only get it to work with the VLC device. Works great but needs just a little more work...

All the media I have can be shown and streamed easily. I 'rip' my DVDs so I can easily choose what I want to watch without having to wade through cases, open them, and insert in my player. With FireStream, my BluRay/DVD player lists all the photos, songs, and movies I have. You just identify in FireStream where they are stored and it makes them available to chose what you want to see or play. All you need is Smart TV or disk player on the same network or wifi that recognizes a media server like FireStream. It is one of my favorite apps.
