- DLNA works only so half: If you try to Twonkey Beam, BubbleUPNP or any other UPNP Player on Android to give an album on the S390 again, that works exactly for a song. After that, the player disconnects. Tested with several mobile phones and various Android version. Similarly hackelig video playback running on DLNA and brings us directly to the next point:
- Why is the YouTube Channel does not in HD? At the bandwidth it can not lie, both wired and wireless, the quality is not HD. When streaming a HD video on Twonkey not provide the player with no problems Youtube HD because (without transcoding) but in the app on the player itself. Annoying. And why Vimeo is missing? Again, you can simply run the with Twonkey Beam Video to the player on, but by itself it does not make it flat.
- The "remote control" Sony Media Remote from the AppStore somehow missed the actual options that could provide them: for example, on mobile phone on Youtube or anywhere else looking over and then "beam" the content of the player to. Instead, you can conduct only the browser window and further in there is the player does not really video there. In the Youtube app you get the phone only as keyboard replacement. Again: with Twonkey Beam is theoretically quite wonderful, except that here yield similar problems as those for audio files. But we see also in HD Youtube and Vimeo also works without problems.
So the bottom line: Good BR and DVD player, but errors in the software what DLNA is concerned, no technical reason restricted streaming offers and relatively poor remote control software in the AppStore. He is also advertised with these functions, I need to give him a relatively bad grade, unfortunately, even though I have made it as a pure player in the heart.
