On 2/14/2013 we uploaded nessViewer App 1.7.1 - unfortunately it was rejected by Apple. After some discussions and changes suggested by Apple, we uploaded it again 3/3/2013 - and it was rejected again.
After some more discussions, nessViewer App 1.7.1 is now available.
Beside some provider adaptions, the major change is that the following content is now only available for registered users: ARD, Arte and ZDF Mediathek, cinema movies in German and English, entertainment / serials and music.
Our original idea was to offer an app with very much content and features free of charge - and that the people will help us by e.g. clicking "Like it" at the start window. Unfortunately this did not work.
From now on we will send the registration data (free of charge) only to people who do also something for us - e.g. by clicking "Like it" or by reporting about the app in a blog.

nessViewer 3.3 for Mac available (DLNA)
As already announced nessViewer supports now DLNA (UPnP) to access content from DLNA media servers.
Particular pleasant using Mac OS X 10.7 or newer: even MPEG2 movies can now be presented if stored on a NAS for example. That means that even EyeTV movies can now be played by nessViewer using the DLNA browser (instead of launching EyeTV).
BluRay players are still not accessible by the DLNA browser because the only BluRay player we had for testing do not offer this feature.
The default audio selection for DVD playback, which was already integrated in nessMediaCenter, is now available for nessViewer as well.
Another new feature is the crash reporter which allows it to send bug reports to us instead Apple.
Some internet provider content was adapted as well.
These adaptions were made for nessMediaCenter as well but without releasing a new version. To use the new version, please download the updated application and install it manually.

nessViewer web site available again
Caused by server problems the nessViewer web site and services (incl. email) was not available since yesterday morning.
We tried to repair the server which failed unfortunately - an new installation was necessary.
The web site and service is now available again - the playlists (entertainment, movies, music) will take some time and will be finished in about 12 hours.
We would like to excuse for any unpleasantness.

nessMediaCenter 1.3.5 available
At DVD presentation the default language can be set now in the audio menu of the menubar by selecting "Set As Default". If DD 5.1 or DTS and passthrough (digital audio output) is available for the default language, then this audio stream will be selected automatically.
The default language overwrites any language selection in the DVD menu of the DVD window - in other words: if a default language has been set, then selecting another language in the DVD window will be ignored.
By selecting "Remove Default" the default language will be removed and any selection of a language in the DVD window will work again.
The Apple crash report (in case of an unexpected error) has been replaced by a self developed crash report to send these reports to us instead of Apple. Even if crashes do not occur as far as we know (or at least very rar).
The update of nessViewer will take some time since we are still testing the DLNA player. The pre-release can be downloaded if interested.

nessViewer & DLNA
The pre-release of nessViewer now integrates DLNA as a first step.
After opening the DLNA window by the toolbox or file menu, a window is displayed which allows it to start DLNA. If the firewall is activated then incoming connections for nessViewer must be allowed.
After the DLNA start, all available DLNA devices are shown in the drop down menu.
If the selected device supports media (e.g. a media server like Serviio or NAS volumes), then "Browse" will show the root content. Folders can then be opened and media like movies or pictures presented.
Particularly pleasant is the feature to select multiple media and then to present these media continuously.
So far the following devices have been tested (and work):
For the future further features like a DLNA media server or DLNA remote control are imaginable. An integration in the media center might also be possible.

nessMediaCenter 1.3.3 & nessViewer 3.2.3 for Mac available (iPhoto / iTunes)
The "iTunes Control" of the media center was improved to fix a iTunes-AppleScript bug and to make the selection of playlists easier:
1.) The last selected playlist remains selected and the playback will not automatically start after the start of the iTunes control.
2.) After the selection of another playlist, the playback of the first track will only start if the playback was already started. Otherwise a cover preview and the number of tracks will be shown.
3.) Next and previous track does not only work again, but will also switch to the last / first track if no previous / last track exists.
A preview and number of movies will also be shown for iTunes movie playlists.
The iPhoto folder and album display was improved as well: a preview and number of media will now be shown.
