Hi chaps,
First of all, I believe this is honest feedback,it's not a troll.I have paid for Mezzmo, and have been using it for the past year or so.I also have the likes of PS3MS, Serviio, TVersity-you name it, I'm a DLNA junkie ;-)
But I'm giving up on Mezzmo-why? Well, as hard as I try, file formats that dont get transcoded by others, always seem to be transcoded by Mezzmo. It's becoming a pain to see the util on my server shoot up to 100%,and see ffmpeg as the culprit, and yet when I use another (looks like I am going to move to TVMobili), it doesn't happen.Frankly, I'm tired of having to change profiles to suit, when others just "work". It came to a head this week when my kids kept on complaining about freezing and blocking-I know my home network is ok (fully CAT5 wired) and other servers cope fine.
Plus, and I have raised this on here, support for the iPad2 seems to be hit and miss-sometimes it works, sometimes its doesn't. And there is nothing worse than if I want to grab a file, for watching later, and it doesn't work, at 6am in the morning!
I will come back and have a look in months to come, but I need hassle free, and Mezzmo doesn't give me that, at the moment.Good luck but I'm out for the time being
cheers
