nessMediaCenter 1.6 & nessViewer 3.6 for Mac available

The music video portal Clipfish offers for some time also German motion pictures - both are now available in the MediaCenter in 29 categories and can be sorted by criteria (new, best, most viewed). And of course by selecting a category (by "+" and then PLAY or RETURN), e.g the contained music videos can be played continuously.

Currently, satirical, cross - the Bavarian magazine "Quer" is now available in the MediaCenter at "Deutsches Fernsehen" - but do not worry: it is spoken "hochdeutsch". In addition to the main media libraries (ARD, ZDF, RTL, RTL Nitro, SuperRTL, VOX), there are of course still also a lot of other interesting magazines... And under "Live Broadcasts (Countries)" at "German" also all public German TV broadcasters…

For Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), there are now new icons in the MediaCenter, which are adapted for Retina displays.

In testing we have found problems when streaming videos from Mac (nessViewer media server) to iOS (nessViewer App for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch). After hours of research, we have found the following solutions: for older iOS versions (4.x to 6.x ?) the older VLC version 2.0.9 must be installed on Mac, because Apple has expanded the M3U8 format without regard to compatibility (and VLC 2.1.x uses this new format). And for newer iOS versions (7.x ? and newer), we have updated nessViewer app - version 1.9.1 can be downloaded for registered devices on our website and will soon be available in the AppStore.

Some providers have also been adapted: e.g. Arte, ATV from Austria, BBC, MyVideo.

nessMediaCenter 1.3.6 & nessViewer 3.3.3 for Mac available

Arte and ARD mediathek videos can now be played without the Flash player. These are really good news because Flash is a security risk in our opinion.

The Austrian internet offer has been extended and offers now "Aktuell" (news) and "Am Punkt" (political discussions). For the Austrian, Dutch and Swiss internet offer we added images and informations at the overview (similar to the German internet overview).

Additionally we adapted some internet provider offers, so now everything is available again.

If you are using the adult offer, then you should also download and install the extension. Meanwhile more than 1600 links to videos of several providers have been added to the collection, which is now also available at the media center of nessMediaCenter and nessViewer. The collection is also available in the integrated browser (as before) and can now be sorted by newest entries.

nessViewer App 1.7.1 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch available

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.
