After nearly 2 years, the software is still just not working and make the management of our series and movies a nightmare. It is very frustrating to try making this software working when it does not.
The only thing working and what I use the most, is the file manager! Like in the 90's, the overall age of this interface.
Below are the most important points :
- using an external server to manage our own library is not a good idea. If the server is down, we can not manage anything. If the server fails, we fail, etc.
- 80% of the films are recognized by the DVD Movie Server, the other 20% is impossible to manage because the interface refuses to set them correctly, even manually
- New movies are sometimes even not recognized. I've just added "Aquaman(2019)" (a very recent movie), it appeared in the file manager but not the gui!
- Series are partially recognized too, for example, I have 2 famous series ("Star Trek" and "Poirot season 1 to 13") and some season are not there, some episodes in the season are incomplete and it is impossible to set it up manually! I've respected the manual of names provided by the team here, it does not work anyway.
- If a movie or a series is not recognized correctly, the manual setting does not work too, so the library will show the bad movie. When I try to change it, the screen shows it working forever and nothing happens.
- I've reset it a few times, so I've lost all my data and settings each time because there is no backup, even if it is a very basic option but not there...
Results, this device is good for playing, using sub-titles, etc... but totally useless to manage the movies. When I show the device to my friends, they always laugh and tell me to put this in the garbage...
A very very ... very frustrated user.
