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 2.8.4 available (GPS support)

On user request GPS is now supported for pictures: if a picture contains GPS data, then the geo location (country and city) will be shown - both at the picture info and the MediaCenter. At the MediaCenter further EXIF data like the description will be shown also.

Thru a computer magazine we got the hint that Flash plugins store several informations like visited pages at the user preference folder. To increase data security and anonymity, "Remove Flash plugin informations on quitting" was added to the nessViewer preferences (s. media preferences).

In the past the installation of the QuickTime extension "DivX" was recommended - meanwhile the free DivX extension does not allow to edit DivX movies. Because Perian also supports DivX movies including the editing, we suggest to uninstall the DivX extension.

For uninstallation the application "Uninstall DivX for Mac" is available which commenly can be found at the application folder. After the uninstallation the Mac should be restarted and then checked if no DivX files can be found at "/Library/QuickTime" anymore.

FreeMoviesCinema has changed its domain (freemoviescine.com instead of freemoviescinema.com) - the integrated browser and the MediaCenter was adapted therefor.

nessViewer 2.5.1 available

Flash movies from the internet are loaded and played by the QuickTime extension "Perian" which sometimes do not work properly (wrong duration and thereby too short presentation, sound not synchron to video). By checking the media preference "Play flash movies via flash plugin" these movies are presented by the flash plugin.

For users who are not registered at our web page and did not install our extension this new feature will have no effect.

MyVideo changed their web content - the media center is now adapted to display/present MyVideo movies again.
