Seems buggy. Doesn’t play videos at all. Even <2 min.
This app recognized both my Samsung TV and my Xbox 360 and it was able to display photos, but it would not play any video at all through either device. I tried it with three different 1080p standard .mp4 files all taken by the same camera. These files played back fine on my computer. When I tried to play one of these videos through this app, it would sometimes display a message saying that this was a trial version and unable to play videos longer than two minutes. However, each video I tried was well under one minute. I tried adding the videos individually, or in a playlist with other videos, or with other videos and photos. I was unable to make it play videos at all.
My phone is able to play videos and photos with no issues on either the TV or the Xbox, so the problem must be with this app.
It also appears to be unable to use the standard controls on the TV or Xbox 360 to navigate between photos, but I didn’t test this extensively.
The app also seems to exhibit inconsistent, buggy behavior, at least from my limited testing.
The interface looks nice, but if the app doesn’t work that doesn’t really do it for me.
A pity it doesn’t work right– I probably would have just spent the $5 to upgrade to the full version if it had.
