Mezzmo 4.0 released

Major new version of DLNA / UPnP media server makes it the industry leader for streaming media files in the home.

3rd June 2014. Conceiva (www.conceiva.com) has released Mezzmo 4.0, the most comprehensive and innovative DLNA / UPnP media server available today. Mezzmo is easy-to-use, highly configurable, supports all popular file formats and streams to all the latest DLNA / UPnP devices.

New! Combine Mezzmo v4.0 server with our new Mezzmo Android app for an amazing home streaming experience

In addition to the release of Mezzmo v4.0, we have also launched our new Mezzmo Android app. Installed on your tablet or smartphone, Mezzmo Android lets you browse your Mezzmo library, select a device in your home to stream to and then select files to stream to that device. You get full playback control, support for all popular devices, auto transcoding and full metadata display. Streaming in your home has never been easier. Mezzmo Android is available on Google Play and Amazon App Store.

New! Stream your Blu-rays and DVDs

Mezzmo v4.0 reads and streams ripped Blu-rays, DVDs, Blu-ray ISO files and DVD ISO files to all your devices in your home. Mezzmo automatically finds the videos in your ripped Blu-rays / DVDs and Blu-ray / DVD ISO files and adds them to your Mezzmo library. Great-looking movie and TV show artwork and text metadata is automatically collected.

New! Parental control using content ratings

Mezzmo v4.0 lets you set content rating permissions for all your devices in your home so that your children cannot access media files that are not suitable for their age. Mezzmo automatically collects the content ratings for your movies and TV shows. You simply set the acceptable content ratings for your devices and Mezzmo looks after the rest. Advanced features let you set the times when content restrictions apply (for example, between 6:00AM to 9:00PM) and enter a special PIN code into your Mezzmo Android app to bypass content restrictions so you can view and play all media files at any time of day.

New! Great-looking artwork and more text metadata

Mezzmo v4.0 display great-looking posters and backdrops and collects more text metadata for all your movies, TV shows, music and photos. Metadata displayed includes title, series, season, episode, poster artwork, backdrop artwork, release date, plot, tagline, genre, actors, directors, producers, production company, IMDB links, web site, keywords, album, track, disc, album cover artwork, album artist, EXIF, ITPC, XMP metadata and more. All metadata is editable in the improved Properties dialog, and all metadata is displayed in the new Mezzmo Android app.

New! Google Chromecast support

Advanced features include photo slideshows, music playlists and casting full metadata details onto your Google Chromecast for a great browsing experience.

New! Display titles

Mezzmo v4.0 lets you configure how titles for all your files are displayed on your devices. Display title keywords let you choose the metadata you want to see as your titles. For example, for music you may want the track number displayed, so you can set the display title for music files to "%TRACK% - %TITLE%". For movies, you may want the year displayed, so you can set the display title for movies to "%TITLE% (%YEAR%)". For TV shows, you may want to display the series, season and episode, so you can set the display title for TV shows to "%SERIES% S%SEASON E%EPISODE - %TITLE%". For owners of Samsung E/F-series TVs or Blu-ray players, you can now finally get your files listed in the correct sort order by using a display title like "%FILECOUNTER% %TITLE%".

New! Sort titles

Mezzmo v4.0 automatically adds sort titles for your files so you can sort or list them without common words such as "The", "An" and "A" grouping them. This lets you find your files easily. For example, movies such as "A Beautiful Mind" and "The Godfather" will have sort titles of "Beautiful Mind, A" and "Godfather, The". Sort title keywords are fully configurable and support all languages.

New! Smart filters give you more control over your active playlists

Mezzmo v4.0 lets you set smart filters on your active playlists so you can now filter your active playlist to only show the files you are interested in. For example, set a smart filter on an active playlist so only movies are displayed.
