I need some help finding a nice app, i've tried several but some only work half assed while others look horrible.

I have 2 computers on my network both running Serviio sharing all my media with my WDTV. i would like an app that will see and play all the media i'm sharing like the WDTV does but without having to run other proprietary server software. I was using AirVideo for a while and it's sleek and works perfect but it needs it's own software. I was trying home sharing with itunes, but it requires that itunes be running on the computers, and with a library of 500+GB its quite a hog, and the fact that itunes doesn't have folder monitoring is just plain stupid.

Can anyone recommend an app for my iphone and/or ipad that will do what i need as well as look nice..lol

Thanks guys.

I tried Plex, the server ui is clunky as hell cause it's web based, and it turns out that it doesn't show up on WDTV live, which makes it useless to me :(

I then tried Media Connect.. would be perfect but doesn't support alot of media files, specifically mkv, even with transcoding through serviio it doesn't know what to do.

any other suggestions?

    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
