NV Remote II for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch available

After a long time we finally reworked the old "NV Remote" App for iPhone and iPod touch whose successor is now available as "NV Remote II" in iTunes Store (iOS App Store).

"NV Remote II" was not only adapted for iOS 7 and iOS 8 (and still supports iOS 5.1.1 and newer), but is now also compatible with the iPad.

The design of the buttons has also been revised and equals now the buttons of "nessViewer App" for iOS.

The functionality of "NV Remote II" is described on the nessViewer website and on YouTube you can watch a demo video that shows the remote control of nessMediaCenter by "NV Remote II".

In the help of nessMediaCenter or nessViewer, the available control commands of the remote control are explained: beside the media center and media presentations, windows (for example DVD playback, movies and media shows) and even EyeTV and iTunes can be remote controlled as well.

nessViewer App 1.8 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch available

Suitable for the new iOS 7 look, nessViewer App is now displayed in a lighter design with flat buttons. This appearance can be disabled / enabled in the "Settings App" at the nessViewer tab.

iOS 7 has a bug which displays fullscreen videos always in portrait mode if added to a landscape view. This behavior is "circumnavigated"by displaying the video player not in fullscreen which has another advantage: if multiple videos are presented continuously then a next / previous button is now available.
By (double) touching, the video controllers can be changed to hidden / visible.

Caused by a bug, YouTube videos were not available with iOS 7 in nessViewer App - this bug has been fixed.

For (free of charge) registered users (available at the download page), we also added support for more providers and content.

We placed a donate button at the bottom of our iOS web page and would be pleased for some donations - nessViewer App is free of charge and without iAds. Please support this offer.

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.

nessViewer App 1.6.6 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch available: AirPlay improvements

This version improves the AirPlay support: movies streamed from the media server can now be presented by (another) media server via AirPlay. And pictures and PDF documents can also be presented by the media server via AirPlay.

We also improved the Cellular support (e.g. 3G) for media server connections and fixed some bugs.

nessViewer 2.9.6 for Mac and nessViewer App 1.6.5 for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch available: streaming of DVDs

With these two versions the streaming of media from Mac e.g. to iPad is very well done: no matter what kind of movies / videos (e.g. DVDs, EyeTV movies, AVI / DivX / MOV) we want to stream & watch - with nessViewer no problem. And now this is even possible via Cellular (3G) connection.

Videos of the "Videos App" can now be presented with nessViewer App - just one touch to watch a video or to watch all videos continiously.
Photos of the "Photos App" and videos of the "Videos App" can now be mixed in a media show via MediaCenter and then presented continiously.

Of course internet videos can also be added to such a media show -  enjoy media however, wherever, whenever!

nessViewer media server & EyeTV movie streaming

After even complete cinema movies can be streamed by the media server so perfectly, we are now integrating the streaming of EyeTV movies.

This was a little bit confusing us with the EyeTV solution: it is possible to watch the EyeTV channels of the Mac e.g. on the iPad, but the EyeTV archive is always empty - unless the automatic conversion of all movies is activated and the corresponding movie is already converted. Which means that all movies will exist twice (volume capacity) and the computer is permanently converting (frequent high CPU usage)... and all this just for the case to watch one of the movies.

With the pre-release of nessViewer 2.9.5 and nessViewer App 1.6.4 it is now possible to stream EyeTV movies e.g. to the iPad: as before the movies will be converted & segmented "on the fly" and then streamed. After finishing the streaming (or rather when starting another movie) the old stream data will be removed.
