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.

nessViewer 2.8.3 available (entertainment/music collection

Beside the movie collection, the MediaCenter of nessViewer is now also offering entertainment and music collections.

In the past we offered these link collections by media shows which were available at the download area; now we invested a lot of work to be able to offer these collections at the MediaCenter: nessViewer can now save media shows as XML file, a PHP script parses these XML files for the MediaCenter, and the MediaCenter is only loading the preview of the current entry. This way the entries are loaded quick enough to make even media shows available which e.g. are greater than 60 MB.

In the provider dropdown menu of the integrated browser, now the movie collection is also selectable. This makes it easier to search for certain movies - and each movie can be started by clicking on the preview of a movie.

At YouTube half of its cinema movies are now not available any more: one reason is the idea to earn money by loaning the movies, the other reason are copyright complaints.

The MyVideo offer were also adapted to its changes.

nessViewer 2.8.1 available (movie collection)

In the past the cinema movies of the MediaCenter were only offered separated by providers - which of course has some disadvantages: some of the movies are offered by several providers, some providers offer movies in German and English and some movies were classified rather "non optimal" in their categories.

We have spend a lot of time and work to offer a better overview with our own movie collection.

Currently it contains over 2000 motion pictures.

At the MediaCenter their are now two more entries: Movies (English) and Movies (German). Both entries offer movies in categories alphabetically.

Of course the movies are offered by the named providers and not by the MediaCenter of nessViewer.

nessViewer 2.7.6 available (Bild-Kino, MyVideo)

This version adapts among others Bild-Kino and MyVideo - Bild-Kino was adapted only one month ago. Also some of the providers offered by the extension were concerned.

As always: please report broken providers by mail to tvchannels@nessviewer.com.

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.
