Total waste of money. Don't buy. App crashes everytime trying to connect to local server
I was looking for an application that streams over DNLA from my local DVD server so I can watch my recorded programs. I bought this and really did waste my money. For connecting to servers and playing content I found it useless. Not very happy and it will effect what I buy in future
Wonderful when it works. Constantly has problems. WD do not seem to support it.
What a scam! Silly me for paying for local server access. Doesn't work. Crashes immediately after trying to connect with server. Don't bother!! Amazon should remove this junk.
Crashes everytime i try to connect to media player
Very happy to take your money for an app that does not work!
Could not even start without registering for some Zappos account...
Used to work some months ago but not any more. Don't waste time on this
Absolutely useless This Week in tech etc podcasts listing only has 2014 episodes and when I try to browse my network it just crashes!
Requires an account
I used it a lot to control the YouTube and watch it on TV, but since Android lolypop update I'm not able to connect it anymore. So presumably it needs to be updated to work with 5.02 android also.
Hey this here, This is so cool, I mean nobody is that cool but WD TV Live is a cool app to have did I mention cool. Thanks Mark (my bestie)Ryan
I was hoping that this would be a decent remote control and more for my wdtv. It wasn't. Too slow. Not intuitive and uninstalled after an hour.
The remote buttons are too limited with only play, stop, rew, fwd, pause. It shows "please make your selection" and pass of 3 devices, but no way of selecting anything!
Won't let me sign up keeps saying createing account
Piece of junk won't connect!
Keeps repeating the same youtube video over and over.
Using any other player besides directly to my phone and I'm not able to fast forward at all.. it will just exit whatever I'm watching.. please fix!
I thought I would be able to control my local media with this. It keeps telling me that feature is an in-app purchase but I couldn't find anyway to make the purchase from the app. Additionally, as another commenter mentioned, I have received a lot more spam in my email this week.
My latest problem is that the Shoutcast API apparently wasn't properly tested in this latest release. It appears that they get the primary and secondary genre entries back out of the JSON response, but then don't pay attention to the sub-genre which are the actual streams that you would then load into the player. Its very hit and miss, and makes the application unusable for Shoutcast anymore. I've resorted to using YouTube streams for my backyard music, but am down right disappointed and dismayed at the loss. On top of that, I've tried to report the problem, and get a response that there is no problem. I've asked for a direct phone call to discuss, and all I got were crickets. I'm afraid I have to downgrade this to a 1.
Wanted it to mirror my phone but it doesn't. Would be acceptable if it could run apps but very limited in this respect. Don't bother paying for local media, take my advice. I've been all over this app and my overall report is that this app needs a lot of work.
like it, it works. little annoying in parts at first but once you get the hang of it awesome. job done, thanks guys.
This app says its free then when you go to use it it asks you to pay almost4$ to stream your local media. Waste of time and nothing but a scam.
Brilliant idea for an app.not useful on my setup, I can't wait 30 seconds per slide on Flickr, for 10000 pics, that takes too loooong ...
Paid for the app. It worked once then hasn't worked again. What a waste of time and money. No support from developer.
I have been using this to send YouTube videos to the player. It works like a charm.
I paid for the 'in-app' feature and I receive an error when trying to access my home servers. I sent this information to support and they asked me to send the log. This was months ago and I have not heard back from them even though I asked for a status multiple times. Sounds like a way to just get customers to pay for a product that does not work knowing that their support will be of no help.
If i put something in youtube search I expect same results as pc not some bs app filtered crap. Uninstalled.
Had on my phone for about 3 min hag have to pay to use the dnla server option to stream 3.99 really. I live wd and support time amazing logic and technology. A real leader in my opinion. Asking way to much and can't even test before payment.. no thank you
