MediaShare App Reviews

I made the mistake of not reading the reviews before purchasing. This software does not work. Even the menus are dumb. For example: If you click"help", a screen pops up that says, "No help is available for mediashare." I went to their website and the website looks fake, but they sure are trying to get you to buy more of their software. I want my money back!

….and this doesnt work as one. Another four bucks down the drain.

Works perfectly with my iPad, streaming movies even from my Time Capsule through MacBook Pro

Dont waste your money!!! I cant believe Apple doesnt filter these JUNK apps!!! I want my $4 dollars back!!!

Pros: Very simple, easy to use interface. Surprisingly easy on resources (e.g. only takes 3% CPU while streaming a 720p clip of a feature length film) Relatively easy to set up (I tried with GoodPlayer for iOS and AcePlayer and they both work very well.) Smooth streaming even for HD (720p & 1080p clips); music streaming is flawless, as are photos up to 8MP Cons: None for my use (i.e. streaming from PC/Mac to iOS devices). Other Thoughts: Works even with OS X sharing turned off. The best app to use this with is GoodPlayer for IOS (use "UPnP/DLNA Client" and itll auto discover the server with all its shared files & folders)

I use Ace Player on my iPad and thought this would be a good match but no such luck. No support for this app either.

Ive never done any of this DLNA media sharing over a network. I have a Sony BDP-BX58 Blu-Ray player that I wanted to try this with. The only problem that I encountered is that Sonys instructions for the player setup up are a little on the vague side, and that certainly is no fault of this software. Mediashare itself is simple to use. The one screen that it is composed up allows you to add, or remove, directories that you want it to share. Voila! Not much more too it.

You need to restart the server every time you make changes to the media list. Although this app (as well as the iOS AirAV app) are not polished, as free apps they provide basic but practical functionalities as advitised.

This app does not work with my google tv revue. I would like either for it to be fixed or a want a refund!

How much more simple could it get? Love it, thank you for making this and the mobile app free. Super easy to configure and stream had both the iPhone and the iPad up and running in a couple minutes. Kudos to you and your team.

Why can not I save the configured folder? I hope to improve this situation in the next version, thank you!

Use it to stream videos to iPad/iPhone for a while. Nice app, very easy to use and works very well. It would be even better if there is an option to run it in background and hide the icon from dock (like Dropbox).

Easy to setup and use, nice app.

I tried streaming a video to my iPhone connected on my LAN network @ home and the video was choppy and get stuck right from the get go. Completely unwatchable with this app. A good idea, but it doesnt work for video streaming.

I had tvmobili until it quit responding so I got this, and I am using it on the same device ( samsung blu-ray player ). Mediashare will not play any of my files, it just says they are all unsupported. It cant be my device because they played the files before. I dont know whats going on :( I just isnt working for me.

It works. Its so simple to use. i wish you can add secure password/pin.

Its simple just add a video to the list, download (Air AV) on your iDevice (Its free for now) and look for the server. As simple as 1 2 3 ! I dont understand why some people complaining. Thanks to developer for awesome Apps they made. Keep up the great job. Cheers

First the things I like about MediaShare - it is simple, really simple to set up. It simply streams video files to all enabled UPnP clients (xBox 360, PS3, etc.) It has almost no set up and doesnt try to meddle with the files you are streaming. The only issue with the software is, if you are looking for a media streamer wich can play any type of file, this isnt the one for you. This only streams the files to your player, if your player wont play the files – well too bad. Other media streamers (PS3 Media Server, Playback) will convert any file to an appropriate file format. This is a double edged sword however and actually why I like MediaShare - transcoding means it is re-encoding the whole file on the fly. If you are talking 720 or 1080p content this can completely hijack your computers processors. Because MediaShare only shares these files and wont recode them, it will never try to re-encode. Great for nerds who like quality, bad for novices who just want to play a movie and dont know what their device will play.

The only thing this app does is stream video to UPnP clients. Im using it to stream to a PS3. I add the video that I want to stream to a share box and then hit a play button. Then I go to my PS3, search for media server, find it, choose the video I had just added and then hit play. It worked perfectly. I would recommend also purchasing AnyVideo Converter (or similiar app) so that the videos you choose to share are compatible with the hardware you are sharing to.

Please fix because a simple Upnp and DNLA streamer is desperately needed on OS X 10.8!
