nessViewer and compatibility

nessViewer App needs iOS 4.2 to support the iPad.

iOS 4.2 needs iTunes 10 which is only runnable on MacOS X 10.5 or MacOS X 10.6.

The reason why iTunes 9 can not update to iOS 4.2 is unknown (and thereby not understandable). And it is not our kind of compatibility view.

But even worse an iPhone/iPod touch upgraded to iOS 4.2 will not mount in iTunes 9.

nessViewer for Mac is compatible with 10.4 at least. And we would also like to have nessViewer App compatible with 10.4 and iTunes 9.

At the moment we can only offer to send us the UDID of the iPhone/iPod touch. With this UDID we can offer nessViewer App for iOS 4.1 for that corresponding iPhone/iPod touch.

The only other possibility would be to generally offer 2 nessViewer Apps: one for iPad (with iOS 4.2) and one for other devices (with iOS 4.1).

nessViewer App 1.4 available (iPad & Spiegel Online)

With iOS 4.2 nessViewer App is now also available for iPad. With the big screen it is even more fun to watch movie trailers or movies and news from e.g. Spiegel Online.

Certainly we have to improve the main menu - here we are currently working on a solution with icons.

As a new provider we have added Spiegel Online, a leading portal for German and worldwide news and reportages.

Media shows (playlists) can now be send by email or email attachments opened in nessViewer App or nessViewer for Mac. Thereby links to videos from e.g. DailyMotion or YouTube can be arranged and send to friends - there is no easier way to share video playlists with others!

In this context it might suggest again that we offer plenty of media shows with (among others) cartoons, movies or music in our download area for registered users. Entertainment lasting for hours - without even searching the internet.

Of course we will keep your registration data in confidence.

nessViewer 2.6.4 available (special campaign)

In a special campaign nessViewer is offered for EUR 18,- from 11/15/2010 to 01/15/2011.

The browser window now shows example providers as start page. And more supported providers are added: ARD & ZDF Mediathek, Arte, BBC, Hulu, RTL Now.

YouTube now offers plenty cinema movies.

nessViewer 2.6.3 available (Browser search)

With the integrated web browser searching is now available. Supported search engines are currently Bing, Google and Lycos.

Unfortunately the last update had two bugs which caused nessViewer to crash or behave weird after opening a browser window. These 2 bugs are fixed now.

Skyfire has hit the topics - remains to be mentioned only that also the nessViewer App supports various internet sites which movies could otherwise only be played by the (not existing) flash plugin. Free of charge and not sold out... :-))

nessViewer 2.6.2 available (Browser menu)

In the past new collected media show entries were shown after closing the browser menu. Obviously this was confusing for some users.

Now the user can select "Open Media Show" in the browser menu.

Now "Spiegel Online" is also available in lower quality (beside ARD and ZDF mediathek) - especially for our users with lower internet connection speed.

In the nessViewer preferences (and there at MediaCenter) the checkbox "Prefer high movie resolution" must be unchecked to use this feature.

nessViewer App 1.3 available

Pictures can now be rotated via touches and pictures and PDF pages presented.

The iternet offer is extended by movie trailers (in various languages) and english/france podcasts.

The GUI is prepared for iPad - as soon as iOS 4.2 is available a new version will be posted.

nessViewer App 1.2.1 for iPhone/iPod touch

After longer diskussions with Apple the nessViewer App is now available in the App Store.

We would like to thank explicit the several Apple employees/teams at this point!

The main focus of nessViewer App are the various internet video offers and the media shows (playlists).

The internet video offer contains momentary videos from DailyMotion, German television (podcasts), movie trailers (en/de), cinema movies from Free Movies Cinema, music videos from LastFM and videos from YouTube.

These videos can not only be presented but also collected in media shows, which can be saved and presented again later.

Via "Open URL" a web browser can be opened for the supported internet providers which allows to browse safely, play the videos and collect them in media shows.

The supported media (media shows, Office documents like Word or Excel, PDF documents, pictures, videos) can be transfered to the iPhone/iPod touch via iTunes.

For registered users we offer further internet video providers.
