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 & 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):

• Fritz!Box NAS Media Server
• PlexMediaServer
• PS3 Media Server
• Serviio Media Server
• Twonky Media Server (modificated nessViewer version from 3/21/2013 13:35)
• XBMC UPnP Media Server (modificated nessViewer version from 3/21/2013 12:10)

At the moment we are testing further DLNA devices like BluRay player. If beta tester will find problems, we will updated the pre-release just in time. Experiences or problems can be send to us by email.

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 web site available again

Caused by server problems (power blackout) the nessMediaCenter web site and the services were not available for some hours. We solved the problem now and would like to excuse for any unpleasantness.
