I have been using Serviio for many years and I thought I'd give Mezzmo a try based on their side-by-side comparison. I paid for and installed it on my PC and added over 800 movies to the library.
The Media Devices show all my DLNA devices on the list which matches Serviio's list , so I know it's detecting them. This includes the Asus Transformer TF101 tablet which I plan to use as a "remote" to push movies to my 80" Sharp Aquos TV (also shows in Media Devices).
I'm able to detect and select Mezzmo server on the Sharp TV and play the movies from the library, but using only Sharp's primitive interface which only shows folders and the text movies titles sorted alphabetically, so if I want to select a movie starting with the word "The" in the title, I have to scroll through hundreds of movies.
Here are the few problems I have:
1. I can't "push" a movie to play on my TV since there is no option in a individual library movie's pop-up menu when I right click it.
2. My Asus tablet cannot detect Mezzmo server. It does show Serviio server along with three other servers which I never use: Directv2pc Media Server, ReadyDLNA from the wireless router, & my laptop's Windows Media Player.
BTW, when I select Serviio as the server on my Asus tablet, I can select and play any movie in Serviio's library, so I know the DLNA connection works fine.
All this could be avoided if Mezzmo had a decent user manual for it and the Android software.
What am I missing?
