Someone just needs to test if the DLNA Renderer part of the player can play all the formats they claim, using a decent iPhone. So the DLNA Controller part of the player worked fine. The good news was that ARKmc connected to the MPW DLNA server just fine, and listed all the files just fine. I’m sure an iPhone 6Plus would do better though. I didn’t bother trying to test other formats, since it would just have been depressing. Both had long pauses waiting for the stream to get ahead and fill the buffer. The My Cloud App played some of my videos a little better than the ARKmc player. Third, note that an iPhone 4 really struggles with an 18Mbps MP4 video. They do say on the App description, “Please note! The limitation of LITE version is 3-5 items available per folder.” Enough to test functionality, but I missed that on the first read. Second, note that the free version is actually quite limited. well, actually just free stuff and looking very dodgy. (Yes, a lowly and not too powerful iPhone 4.)įirst note that the trial version has a row of adds down the bottom, designed to look like App buttons, which if clicked deliberately or not(!) take you to a web page offering 18 year old virgins at your pleasure. Just for giggles, I turned on the DLNA server on my MPW, downloaded and installed the free version of ARKmc onto my iPhone 4. I think it can be done through the My Cloud App as well. PS: You need to turn on the MPW DLNA server in the Dashboard. Do note however that some formats will have much higher bitrates, which may tax the iPhone’s processing power. Mike is also correct that the iPhone would struggle to transcode video formats on the fly, but if a DLNA Client can play the format natively, there is no need to transcode. mike27oct has mentioned a few good ones in the past, but I don’t know what formats they will play natively. If ARKmc doesn’t work you should look at other iPhone DLNA Clients with Controller and Renderer. Maybe you can avoid converting much of that media library you have. So you should give it a try Miller-Village, using it as a player. Even the free version will play the file types listed.ĪRKmc will connect to the MPW DLNA server, and it should play the formats I listed above. If that IP happens to have some sort of problem (weve recieved a report of it not working), heres the number IP: Number IP: 107.150.43.242:25607. Thank you and good luck to everyone IP:. That is a a pretty good list, and really only lacks QT, DivX, Xvid, RM and a few other common formats. If you reapply under that time limit, your application will be automatically denied.Remember, your application must be very detailed. It plays 3GP, AVI, WMV, ASF, MP4, MKV, MPG/MPEG, TS, M2TS, 3GP, VOB, FLV, MOV, M4V. It does seem to play a wide range of media formats natively, without the need to transcode them to another format. However ARKmc is also a DLNA Controller and Renderer, or client/player. You use the ARKmc DLNA server to stream FROM an iPhone, not to it. In fact the MPW DLNA server supports more file formats than the ARKmc DLNA server. It seems that ARKmc is primarily a iOS/Android DLNA server, which duplicates the DLNA server functionality that the MPW already has. If you have any issues or problems, write to ideas and suggestions are welcome.Miller-Village, you don’t need a DLNA server to use with the MPW, you need a DLNA Client that is both a DLNA Controller and Renderer.
