Crashed My Mac

The app did what I needed it to do—streamed an MKV movie from my Mac to my Apple TV. However, the first time I tried it, it crashed and flat out killed my Mac. I mean my Mac's fan fired up like crazy and then my Mac immediately turned itself off completly! It was frankly scary. I risked trying it again as this MKV file is of a restored version of one of my favorite childhood films and I really wanted to see it on my HDTV. I found an option to "Reduce CPU Usage" in MKStreamer's menus, and that seems to have fixed the problem.

Developer Response
Glad that you've found "Reduce CPU Usage" option! Based on your feedback we need to suspect there could be an issue with your Macs cooling. It is not a normal behaviour, we did not have any similar feedback. Besides we are constantly trying to improve our app in future updates.

I searched for an app to stream files, chose/downloaded this one on the strength of most of its reviews, and it's worked exactly once -- and that was only sortof. It is always glitching and lagging no matter how long you have waited for it to load the file -- which I could forgive -- but it also gatekeeps my other streaming apps. For example, MKPlayer used to be fine and I could default my mkv files to it -- but after installing this app, I lost my ability to set the default app to mkplayer for mkv files, and etc., and quicktime always tries to open every download. I'd call it a crappy side effect but it would have to have been done deliberately. Macbook Air A1, Ventura 13.2.1

This app really came in handy when I wanted to stream to my smart tv. It transcoded and streamed simultaneouly while sipping battery on my M1 macbook pro. A 90minute video process only took 12 percent of my battery to trancode and stream over wifi. The UI may seem intimidating, but you don't need to fiddle with anything besides the stream destination. The other options are just there for the savvy. Highly recommended.

From the moment I installed this app it has not worked. It will not read my AppleTV. Under the SmartTV Control section, I click the dropdown and I the the words "Looking for TV" are grayed out and the wheel sits there idol...not even turning as if the app is searching for a device. Both my iMac and AppleTv are on the same network. I have restarted my AppleTV countless time, that doesn't fix it, I even restored my AppleTV, nothing. I have tried contacting support, no response. I have to see about getting my money back. I purchased the app JustStream for twice the price and it is most definietly worth it. That app actuallly works.
