So far so good; unfortunately for music streaming/browsing the lack of good genre and composer submenus really hampers browsing for jazz, folk, rock, classical, and more diverse collections of music.
But, this can only get better than it already is, right!?
This comment is a general comment, not one specifically targeting this software, which I am sure is fantastic, but I was under the impression that the Wii only provides limited resolution viewing on your TV.
If that is the case, could someone who uses this software please report back what the TV viewing quality is of photos and movies?
The quality of the videos is not the best. The application converts the your to a Flash video, which is playable in the Opera-based browser on the Wii. The only video I have converted is a video slideshow, so I can't tell exactly how good the conversion quality is. If I had to guess, I would say that it is about 15 frames per second. There are multiple levels of quality you can convert videos using. I believe I used the best setting.
I could not get the video conversion to work when sending the video to a SD card.
I will use the music player the most often. It finds your iTunes library and streams it to the Wii browser with what I am assuming is Flash. If iTunes is open on the Mac, it will display the album art. I was really really impressed with the music feature.
I did not use the photo part of the application yet, but look forward to seeing what it can do.
I have been running this app for a couple of days. If you have a Mac and also a Wii it's a fantastic piece of software. The developer is exceptionally quick in responding to queries and fixing bugs. Highly recommended!
