FRITZ!App Media for Android
Copy and paste files from server would be great...
This review is subject to change as I use the app more, but on first impression it works great. It immediately recognized all devices (Fritzbox media server, Chromecast, etc) and playback is smooth as butter. The app makes efficient use of resources (battery, network) from what I can tell. Nice work, AVM.
how nice would it be, if one could configure source/output devices manually. The local device on source list is not listed with it the whole fun is blowen away!
So it's a DLNA client that's not working with Sonos. Not a fan of that blue and white theme. Worked when playing that sample from my Fritz!Box.
Hallo, leider wird beim streamen von Filmen von der USB Platte an einen Chromecast kein Dolby Digital und DTS übertragen. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit audio passthrough / bitstream freizuschalten? Falls nicht -> Featurerequest! Danke!
The app suddenly stopped working while streaming a film from nas and I can't get it working any more. I just get 'no entries' on the 'browse' tab where I used to see all my films. It's a real shame because I liked the app - would have probably given 3 or 4 stars. It was a bit simple but it worked. I can't find any online support.
Works well.
It won't run on a hisense 50k390pad google certified smart TV running Android 4.2.2. That's an ODD thing that an app made for viewing on a smart TV and then one that has Android built in which should be running this kind of software, can't!!! Its hard for me to understand where the limitation lies but if its possible to make it run on the above model, that would be so good. Thanks :)

Diese App tritt die von Google zu Chromecast vorgestellten Prinzipien mit Füßen. Von Google wurden bezüglich Chromecast nämlich fünf Regeln aufgestellt, die jede App, die mit Chromecast zusammenarbeitet, beachten sollte. Diese App hier beachtet keine einzige. Man kann sich zum Beispiel nicht richtig bei Chromecast an- und abmelden. Das führt bei mehr als einem Benutzer zu großen Problemen. Hat ein Benutzer erst einmal erfolgreich die Kontrolle erlangt, ist es für andere Benutzer unmöglich, gleiches zu tun. Selbst wenn es des kontrollierenden Benutzers sehnlichster Wunsch ist. Weitere Probleme, die zwar kein Verstoß der Chromecast-Prinzipien sind, die App aber dennoch zu einer schlechten machen, sind die eingeschränkten Möglichkeiten. So wird die in den Bildern abgespeicherte Orientierung nicht beachtet, bei Filmen ist die Navigation nicht ausgereift und viele weitere Mängel sind vorhanden.
Could not find my own files. Just the 3 basic files for music, video and photo. Uninstalled.
Great and simple to use DLNA manager
warum werden keine mkv Dateien unterstützt bzw erkannt als Filme?!
Love this app. Is very useful, especially to keep children happy.

allows me to ditch DECT phones
Works well.
Great app since the last update!
Was only 3 stars because was no control over playback size on tablet or smart phone. on a 1920x1080 screen even 720p video was way too small. But all fixed now, 5 stars! Thank you!
Powerful app but it really needs a full screen mode. On my s4 the play back field isnt even an inch wide.
Improved a lot, but it isn't streaming the sound of MKVs with DTS audio.

I just wanted to browse my NAT and stream media to my phone. It just WOULD NOT! Crashed any time it got close to a file. Unimpressed.
Does not work
Nathing
Since last update the app just displays the network shares, cannot browse or list contents, just keeps thinking. I have restated the NAS server too. Same results. ..
Please add search function.
The only video file is managed to play was .mp4 . No vob , no mpg , no mkv , no avi. Audio mp3 only , since flac is not generaly supported by DLNA standard :( :( :( Trying to play any video in my Samsung SmartTV , didn't play any file , and the TV seemed to be opening a 'music' player ???
But I hate to tell Fritz not given much of setup info. Pls search on web if U can find any. Good app bad explanations...
Good App........BUT.........no FLAC support yet?.......
Works fine, in english, but no flac.....shame.
Worked instantly and is streaming audio from the HD
Most common language on the planet, where's the English das ist no goot!
Actually having tried lots of different applications, this is the only one that instantly found my server media directory and allowed me to start playing music immediately with absolutely no configuration. For some reason though, only selected directories were shown. No idea why!
1 didn't play any videos, except those recorded by a phone. The SAME videos play fine from sdcard or via Allsharr dlna. 2 can't display unicode names
Not much tested yet, but connected in 1 sec to stream from FB, which failed with all other players tried.
Not one video played. Useless...

Works very well. Can't think of anything it could do better.
