Ratings and Reviews
Lots of potential but…
But poor execution. The support for the media server is poor, and configuration can be difficult based on your hardware. For me the mobile app only works on my local network. Channels don't display when connected outside my network, and the app will crash after a few seconds even though they display fine when using a pc/browser. Seeing as it's been a few years since this app has been updated, the technology is clearly not a priority for the vendor.
Lotsa bugs
I’ve been able to get this to work over a local network but the app is pretty clunky. Ongoing need to use workarounds e.g. when you close the app, server remains with its CPU maxed out transcoding for no good reason, so you need to kill the app and then restart it again to get the server to stop. Switching channels needs to be done twice, the first time it doesn’t really take and instead of the new channel the old one comes up again. Very preventable nuisances that make for an awful user experience.
Love the concept, execution is weak
Great idea - however the app has to be reloaded to change channels - even worse is that I have both iPhone and iPad apps. When I play any channel on my iPad it looks great, when I play any channel on my iPhone, I get the spinning iPhone circle in the middle of the screen into perpetuity.
