Almost perfect Great for streaming my TV shows straight from my XBMC server. Would have given 5 stars except that I'm not able to download any videos to local sdcard...

Ps3 It hooked up to my ps3 right off the bat and I can easily stream music from my phone to my ps3 and copy my music from my phone just as easy!!!

Finally! : ) After much searching, this I'd the only app that reliably lets me stream my NAS media to my archos 35 HC using my phone as a remote. Way to go!

Good for my Olive music server Great appt. for use with my Olive 4 HD music server. I can stream music to and from my phone easily although can't figure out yet how to play the same music from the server and to the phone at the same time. Also if using Olive for rendering, it will only play one track before stopping but ok if using phone as rederer

Works a treat This works almost flawlessly. The only issue I'm having is that the app won't pull album art from my NAS. (Though this may be down to the NAS.) Also, great service from the vendor when contacted for support. Recommended.

Almost There on Google TV. Fantastically controllable and does nearly everything I want. Despite going through the advanced list of options, cannot make the local renderer get the images for media it is playing (despite other apps doing it flawlessly). Will probably pick up the paid version, maybe I can get some dev. support that way.

Awsome I've got this connected through my WDlive (via my media server - QNAP NAS) to my stereo system (via Digital Cable) and using my old HTC Hero to control all my music connected through the BubbleUPnP. This is perfect as I dont need to control through the TV etc. Only downside is I would like a widget.
