Panasonic Media Center

Had the same problem as a lot of people. Wouldn't recognize my log in and password. So I changed the password, then Uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, and bingo, has worked like a charm on my HTC 10. Can now record whatever shows I want no matter where I am.

Good tv's and video units....USELESS APP . Clunky and slow at all stages. Then tells me everything thing I have ever recorded in the last year from any channel can't be viewed outside the home due to broadcaster restrictions. Is every broadcaster blocking everything. I don't think so.

I went through the set up ...no problem. I have since been unable to log into the app. I have reset password over & over again. Every time withe same result. Incorrect log in details. So frusrating!

Using with a Viera TV and it works well allowing you to remotely view live TV or to record and view recordings to a connected hard-drive. Also lets you schedule recordings. The App is a bit sluggish (internet) and obviously does not work if TV is powered off, so TV has to be left on standby.

It works... Sometimes. : Most of the time it just doesn't work, seems like the first beta version of a software application, definitely not a polished, working stable release of software. : Don't buy a Panasonic recorder if you are hoping for a stable remote access application to set recordings and the like.

About as much use as a chocolate teapot !!Absolutely pathetic, have created two new accounts to try and connect to my recorder, still saying wrong ID or password ,even after PW reset still the same ,contacted advisor -no help -it's a software problem! Great recorder useless App,as such can't use all the features of my recorder. Save your time don't install

I've been using this app for two years now ever since I registered it with my Panasonic Freeview Play Recorder. It is slow, clunky, unreliable and unusable a lot of the time. It's well overdue an update. Like it needs series link so you don't get the same slot recording forever once a series has finished. Also, watching at home and the connection fails with error messages saying you can only watch at home, when you are at home. This is more a bone of contention for us UK Freeview Play users where DRM was added to our boxes over a year ago preventing us watching live or recorded material if not at home on the main channels. I've had all this out with Freeview and Panasonic and they blame each other over the technicalities and really couldn't give a flying f**k about the end user and their experience of it all at the end of the day. Well you know what? There are other platforms and manufacturers out there!

Not impressed. Stuck in a password reset loop because it won't except my account details. Basically Panisonic are selling equipment which without the app working does not have the advertised features. I will be taking this matter further as it is not good enough after paying a lot for their products!

I ve been trying to register for ages. It tells me that I have completed registration. I try to log in. It won't let me. I've changed password few times. Still no luck. This is the hardest thing I have ever tried to get on in 20 years and now giving up

Junk. It just doesn't work. Don't waste your time. Think will stick to buying Sony in the future.

First, it takes too long to find the device. Secondly, when viewing live TV, it doesn't display subtitles, so deaf people miss out. That's how good this App is. Panasonic even wants to know your DoB and gender which has nothing to do with creating an account. The question is why do they need to know if you're a male or female and your Date of birth? Is there any difference? No. So, why do they need private and personal information when they demand that an account must be created? This is an invasion of privacy. And that is not all. The brand new, expensive DMR-PWT550 recorder I purchased often missed recording a program, does not start recording on time or it starts a few minutes after a film had already started and, ...that's not all, again. It also stops recording up to 10 minutes before the show, film, program, whatever I have set to record, ends. And there is nothing you can do about it, e.g. like the old VCR where you could set it to start 5 minutes before the film starts and end 5 minutes after the film ended. You cannot make such adjustment. Today's electronic devices are absolutely rubbish. Panasonic has alway been good, not anymore.

Keeps telling me my password is wrong, have reset it twice but still won't work. Seems like a common problem

Stuck in perpetual password reset loop. Can't be bothered with something so unprofessional. Sort it out.

Cannot log in.Why oh why do I need a login anyway to login to MY system on my own network. The only reason is to spy on usage. I would rather not but if I want functionality it appears I do. Would not have bought the system had I known!!!

Rubbish cannot connect my device tried several times using email/password refuses to accept any information I input

Can't log in anymore.It says "communication error has occured"Must be most useless app ever.Even when it worked it was like dial-up broadband of 20yrs ago!

Doesn't play anything anymore. App opens in mobile phone but doesn't work anymore. App on tablet is in a loop and asks for password but doesn't accept the password. I've reset password but still no luck.

Garbage. Took ages to get it to send password confirmation then my device isn't shown. Never worked st all

Like everyone else has stated. You can't log in. Sort it out for I will delete app

Same problem as everyone else. Does not seem to recognise login details after multiple password resets. Lazy programming.

Typical Panasonic unstable badly written, badly designed app :(

Cant log into device tried reinstalling maybe big company but rights usless apps

I can't login since getting a new phone. Customer support an absolute joke.

The concept is great, and it works most of the time but the app is poorly made and painful to use.

Same problem as many other users:it doesn't recognise login details. Frustrating.

I wonder how Panasonic internall cheeck lets such a poor quality app to be deployed. It can work only to fail by the next try. Too slow to establish a connection etc. Needs a lot of improvement. I checked a year latter, the app as poor quality as it was no improvment at all. With this reputation how do they survive, no competator at all!!!

Yes it looks very basic and isn't a nice interface. But it let's me set recordings, watch live TV, and watch recordings. It does what I need. How can that possibly be deserving its current low rating? I think people are blaming the app for their incorrect router settings.

Tried resetting password many times just can't log in from app.. from other comments seems like a common issue why won't you fix it!! Is no one bothering to read the comments, just going to end up losing customers

I can now watch what I want while the tv is in use by the other!! I don't need a tv any more. Update, No I can't. Unreliable. Come Panasonic, I purchased the recorder for this specific purpose.

Doesn't work can't log in fuckn sucks I rang Panasonic only for them to say they would ring me back and never did. I love my T. V but the media centre app doesn't work.

Update the app f...ing works on my ipad. WHY NOT MY ANDROID PHONE ! many others have said I can't log in on my phone. Password and everything is correct as I can log in on my laptop.

How does a multi national company as big as Panasonic put their name to this. I can't sign in. It won't let me sign in at all. I'd love to be able to set record of I'm not home.

I can connect to the recorder ok, but on every channel I get the error 'unable to play because of the state of the connected device or this device'. My phone isn't rooted and both the recorder and phone are connected to the same wireless network and have good signal strength.

Very slow for what it does.. Have it connected to a freetime recorder and it does the job.. But takes ages

Any idea of how to make things easy. The app not work? Next time i buy a different electronic brand

Earth calling Panasonic...hello Earth calling Panasonic. Looks like nobody at home when Panasonic took delivery of this awful, clumsy, dysfunctional, badly implemented app. ...lets try one more time...Earth calling Panasonic Great hardware products worse than useless apps.

One thing I think the app is missing, is the ability to search for programs. It's ok if you know when and on which channel, but the whole idea of the 7day look-ahead guide is so you don't need to buy TV guide magazine... Surely?

Same same as others Apple app works OK but can't get into this app

Complete rubbish - you jump through all their hoops and then the login details they give you dont' work - don't even bother trying

Works fine and easy to use BUT if your TV's HDMI connected to your home TV, Playback Anywhere will not just switch on your Panasonic recorder, it'll also switch on your TV. So, if you're watching the recorded material on your phone on holiday, you'll return to a TV that's been on for a week or two.
