Starkadius 219 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I saw the windowscentral article, just replied to one of the users about some of the differences between PLEX and Media Browser. If anyone else can chime in to describe other uses for media browser over PLEX please do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Windows Central (formally WP Central) has posted about the WP app update. http://www.windowscentral.com/media-browser-update-brings-media-browser-connect-cinema-mode-tons-more Like the first 10 posts on the article are people who have never heard about MB so go post to the thread and talk about all the good things MB does! It's a pretty poor effort on their part tbh... No links to any previous articles along with no explanation really what it's for! It'd get a better write up if Rudy had wrote the app that's for sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but Scott responded early on in the thread with the link to the previous article. Besides, if there are a lot of posts on the article it's more incentive for them to do a follow-up again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the "another vlc clone" comments etc, so it's good some people might be seeing it for the first time. I just thought the article was crap....

Ceten 27 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Also responded to a guy asking about how Media Browser works exactly.Pointed him to some tutorials in the community too, but they may be a bit outdated.I comments below articles about Media Browser apps I often see people who are interested but confused about what Media Browser is exactly and how to set it up.

ebr 14910 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 In the airport and picked up this mag for some reason. Haven't looked at magazines like this for years. Flipped through it for a sec and landed on this page: Obviously the same article from the UK mag above but it is getting around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottIsAFool 517 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 So my back copy of the magazine that featured Media Browser arrived today. On the accompanying CD, it has the installer for the server So three things to take away from this: 1) We had a three page feature in a national UK magazine 2) The feature was mentioned on the front page of said magazine (sadly, our name wasn't, just the feature "Stream your media") 3) The CD that came with it allowed the users to easily install the server software How awesome is that! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalin 1 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I sent a review request to wpcentral.com to try and get them to review Scott's new Windows Phone app. Not sure if it would help if other people send requests or if they will just decide based on how cool the app is. It should help because finding it in the windows store is what made me get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottIsAFool 517 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well, the WP app is doing fairly well at the moment, it's in the top 5 paid apps in its category (video + music) in both the UK and the US stores. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I notice that the forum members are growing rapidly. The word must be spreading. Edited December 16, 2014 by Deihmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I notice that the forum members are growing rapidly. The word must be spreading. That's also a byproduct of MB Connect. But hopefully there is exponential growth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I see that Kodi mentioned mediabrowser in their front page article. On the output side, work continues, slowly but surely, on UPnP. Kodi is now significantly more compatible with servers like PlayOn and MediaBrowser, as client-related bugs have been dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Also another recent discussion in the kodi forums. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=213080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 And some discussions at the B&O forum about DLNA servers, which I throw in MBS an option. Some questions about itunes playlists, which I replied may be a future feature if there is sufficient demand for it. http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/t/13439.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skl_mobile 3 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I just posted in the General Area about MB3 and it's Potential, I am going to work this month on transitioning to it. I after I work through the install and stuff. I will send and email to the engadget dude who review SageTV and still yearns for it like I do about MB3 and what it can do. He probably will be very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I think I've started what might end up as a shit storm on the Plex forums. I started a thread a while back in the plex-pass only section called "The need to Vent :)". It's about 3 full pages and almost every post agrees with the full page OP post. Today someone mentioned MB3 so I took "advantage" of it with an apples to apples comparison of my OP post to MB3 plus a few strengths and weeknesses of each. If anyone is interested a can copy/paste the OP plus 3rd page reply here for reading. Carlo Since my post. MB3 has come up 3 or 4 other times.

I just finished reading that thread (I added my $.02 as well) and then came here to see this. It seems to be fairly well-received even by the most loyal Plex users.

Although when it's of the more public variety, that's even better Yes public would be best but I took advantage when and where I could. At least every single person there runs a media server, so it's the PERFECT audience. Haha! I just finished reading that thread (I added my $.02 as well) and then came here to see this. It seems to be fairly well-received even by the most loyal Plex users. Seems to have really tapped a vein of discontent... What's you ID over there? I love this person's reply: I may not be a dedicated poster to these forums, but I am lurking daily. I run a 31tb server and am seriously frustrating with most of the issues that are being brought up in this thread. I think Plex is moving in a serious wrong direction. The only thing I see happening is adding clients (which barely work), and adding features (which also barely work). This may look great to investors (as they can claim they have all these clients and user base), but all the power users know better and want the core issues dealt with before adding these features that don't work. Seeing some of the top posters of these forums jump ship to MB3 is seriously concerning to me, as they are great help around the forums. There is a reason that these dedicated users are jumping ship and I imagine very quickly that others are going to follow suit. I'm also ready to jump ship and within the next week I am going to test MB3 to see if it can suit my needs in its current state. I am aware that MB3 might not have all the bells and whistles that plex currently has as it is in its infancy stage, but the one thing that is making me give it a chance is the transparency. We know that the creators are hearing what we are asking for, adding features based on requests and have a clear roadmap to show the direction they are going in. Right now Plex has all the funding but I am getting angry with the silent treatment we are given all the time. I think its time for Plex to change some of its policies before it loses too many of its power users. There is a decent competitor in town now which is rapidly catching up to Plex's development and they should be worried. I really hope we get a reply from someone over there in Plex Town about our concerns before its too late. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
