nessViewer App 1.9.3 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch (pre-release)

In the pre-release version 1.9.3 of nessViewer App for iOS we have now improved the import of media from the "Photos App": while previously only one picture or video was imported (and then this function must be called again for other media import), multiple media can now be selected and then imported in one step if iOS 8 is installed.

Not only multiple media can be selected (by touching), but eg various lists (collections, moments, bursts, etc.) can be selected and their media added to the import as well. Through "Select All", all the displayed media is added to the import (or through "Clear Selection" removed), making the selection of import media even easier.

After selecting "Import", the so arranged media are imported from the "Photos App" to "nessViewer App" including existing metadata (EXIF, GPS) - and as this may take some time on greater import, a progress bar is displayed during this time. The import folder will then be opened, if necessary, and the imported media can be managed.

The so imported media can then, for example, be transferred to any computer like a Mac (either through an FTP client on the computer or the media server of nessViewer on Mac), or can be transferred to another iOS device through the FTP server and FTP client of "nessViewer App". And of course, all without the use of iCloud...

All beta testers (with registered iOS devices) can download the modified pre-release version 1.9.3 of "nessViewer App" at the nessViewer download page.

Import of multiple media from the "Photos App" with "nessViewer App"

nessViewer App 1.9 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch available

In this version the interface has been correctly adapted for iOS 5 to iOS 8. The status bar is now visible with iOS 7 + 8, and the views will be displayed at the correct position with iOS 5 + 6.
Many thanks to Bernd and Gandhi for the loan of older iOS devices to test these adjustments.

In addition, for example, the "Action menu" in "Open Files" has been adapted to iOS 8, so now images and movies can be imported from the "Photos App" or exported to this app again.
Together with the FTP server and client function can thus eg media from this app - after the import - transferred between iOS devices or computers within a wireless network without having to use iCloud.

Brand new is the functionally to present photos and movies unsorted: "Random Playback" must be activated in the "Settings App" at nessViewer, and then local media or internet media can be presented random / unsorted by using "Present Media" or the media center. Which of course makes especially a lot of fun if you have registered previously and thereby have access to many internet music videos and other stuff.

The access to various provider videos has also been adjusted.

This version is no longer free of charge, but costs 3.99 Dollar.

nessViewer App 1.6.7 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch available

We are always searching for new interesting content we can offer - and found now video news from "New York Times" and "Reuters". If you know other stuff, please let us know. Especially for the iPad version, we would like to replace all German offers by English content.

Support for a new provider (Veoh) was added - so now we can offer serials from that provider.

File transfer between FTP server and client sometimes failed - we fixed that bug now.

Tutorial: Media server access setup

On user request we wrote a tutorial how to setup the access of the media server (Mac) via nessViewer App (e.g. iPhone) from outside the local network.

nessViewer 2.9.2 for Mac and nessViewer App 1.6.1 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch available

At "Open Files" pictures and videos can be imported from the "Photos App" and files can be renamed.

After the import the files can be found at the "Import" folder - and e.g. can be transfered to other devices via FTP.

At the MediaCenter the media hosted by the media server can now be accessed via the local WiFi.

Please notice that videos can only be presented if the necessary tools are installed (see older posts).

nessViewer 2.9.2 was extended to publish the media server (Bonjour) and to host the previews.

Now the FTP access via 3G is also possible - many thanks to Erik for his iPhone and his time!

We also adapted several providers.

nessViewer App 1.6 for iPad / iPhone / iPod touch available

At length the new version of nessViewer App is available now.

We added a lot of new features:

1.) Create folders and move files to these folders

2.) Add pictures and movies to the "Photo App"

3.) Editable media show entries

4.) Compatibility of media show previews between Mac and iOS

5.) FTP server & client

6.) Live broadcasting and access to local media at the MediaCenter

Especially the FTP server & client is the beef: beside the transfer of media between two devices or the Mac, it is now also also possible to stream media from the Mac to e.g. to the iPad.

This means that - instead of transfering e.g. a large movie to the iPad - the movie can be presented just in time by transfering only small segments time by time.

We also added a help - available at "Open File".

nessViewer goes FTP: share your media between computers and iDevices

The last weeks we did a lot of work:

1.) nessViewer App for iPad / iPhone / iPod touch has a FTP server and client now, so media can be transferred from the computer to the iDevice by an FTP client (like Cyberduck) and media can be shared between two iDevices.

2.) nessViewer for Mac has a media server now, which allows to share media like movies "on the way": just connect to your local computer by WiFi and download your media. If the media is not compatible with iOS, the media server will convert the media before transferring it.
