I am looking to setup an media server for the first time. I currently have 2 x TV, 1 x BluRay Player, 1 x Chromecast.
I have found Mezzmo online & am wanting to confirm it will serve my needs, however I suspect the features I'm after will require me to purchase Mezzmo Pro.
I have ~60 Movies on DVD/BluRay, which I can only play on one of my TV's as only one TV has a player. I am intending ripping the movies to my PC and using a Media Server to cast them to either my BluRay Player or Chromecast using the Mezzmo Android App on my phone.
However I'd prefer to have all the original movie menu options available (i.e. scene select, special features, language select, ...). I've attempted to look through the FAQs & Forums as well as YouTube videos, but I haven't found a clear answer. I see the Pro version can play iso files, but every thread I've followed it appears upon selecting the movie Mezzmo will automatically stream the movie & bypass the menu screen.

Can you please confirm whether Mezzmo has the ability to display the movie menu & then stream the option selected?

Hi DMT,

Sorry - Mezzmo or Mezzmo Pro (or any other streaming server) does not stream & display a DVD's or Blu-ray menus onscreen. There's no nice way to do this for streaming media servers - especially when the device you are streaming to is DLNA / UPnP device.

Mezzmo Pro does read and stream DVD and Blu-ray ISOs. It will find all the videos on your ISO and add them into your Mezzmo library. This lets you choose the video(s) from your ISOs to stream to your devices. It will also collect metadata and artwork from the web (such as title, plot, series, actors, content rating, poster, backdrop, etc.).
