Anyone knows of an Android/FireTV app DLNA/Upnp renderer that will work over internet/3G or remote network to access the Mezzmo server? I've tried many but I found that most either don't work well with FireTV (need mouse), or don't have the remote option and only work by automatically scanning the local network.
I think that's something that Mezzmo is working on for the new release. I don't think that's up to the renderer so much as being up to the Mezzmo Server.Quote:

Mezzmo (Android) v2.0 will also have its own built-in video player and will be fully Amazon Fire TV and Android TV compatible, including full support for browsing & playing via remote or gamepad controllers. We're just finishing up development now and expect to have Beta testing start in the next month. We'll announce when it's available for Beta testing on this forum and our Facebook page.

No - it's 2 main purposes are to: (i) allow you to browse and play files from your Mezzmo library on devices on your home network that do not have DLNA but have web browsers, and (ii) to allow access to your Mezzmo library from outside your home network (for example, let your friends browse & view your recent vacation photos after you provide them with a link, or to let you watch a video whilst travelling on the train/bus, or to listen to tracks from your music collection whilst in the car/office/etc.).Quote:

I don't know why I'm having so much difficulty finding an android app for remote access, while on the other hand so much easier to find so many on iOS!!!
Maybe Paul you can put me in for a Beta...
We'll announce the v5.0 Beta testing in about 3-4 weeks. That will let you sign up to be a Beta tester.Quote:

When is mezzmo 2.0 for Android/Fire Tv due?Quote:

Mezzmo (Android) v2.0 app and Mezzmo (Windows) v5.0 will be released at the same time - after public Beta testing has completed.
