Educational Feedback

I am the director of a boutique daycare and preschool in St. Louis, MO.  I am constantly placing media on flash drives to funnel from one device to the next.   iSedora is the first and only DLNA server that works, as billed, with OS X!  Minutes after install, I was able to  stream from my IMac,via wireless network, directly to my Sony Bravia with zero loss of picture/audio quality.  Setup could not have been easier.  User interface is clean and simple to navigate.  Fantastic product. Cannot recommend enough.  Thank you.

iSedora 1 Year Anniversary: Grand 30% Sale and iSedora 2.0 Announce

One year ago, 1st May 2010, iSedora.com was opened to public and iSedora DLNA server official build v1.0.2 was published. 365 days afterwards the iSedora Team was focused on satisfying thousands of customers needs in streaming and playing their media collections on various DLNA devices. Dozens reported bugs were fixed, up to 38 consecutive DLNA server builds have been released, hundreds feedbacks and log reports processed. We are thankful to numerous customers that helped us make iSedora better and more reliable.

In honor of the 1st iSedora anniversary we announce a grand 30% sale for all iSedora licenses.
No limits set, no conditions applied — you just get any type of license 30% off its price.

One important thing should be mentioned though: that’s the last chance to license iSedora for less money. No more discounts would be provided till the upcoming release, iSedora 2.0. That will be the next generation DLNA server — more powerful and prompt, much lighter (farewell Java!), plenty device compatible, highly configurable, extendable and pluggable. And it will cost more. However all current licensed users (up to the release date) will get iSedora 2.0 for free. So don’t miss, try iSedora and license it now.

 

Thankfully,
iSedora Team

iSedora For Friends sharing discount promo announced

A unique sharing discount programme — iSedora For Friends — is just announced. We're not providing any more some global trade offs, that our customers loved since New Year sales, but we grant our current and upcoming users the right to choose themselves who can apply for a discount. Read the terms and conditions of the promo to know more, find new iSedora friends around the network and license iSedora for less.

By the way, we've also recently opened an official iSedora Facebook page. We plan to use it also for customer support, but now there's published some independent iSedora reviews — the stuff that is not still presented on the site.

iSedora meets its 10,000th licensed user

Early night of February 17, 2011 iSedora.com Server was a bit anxious and so displayed its pages much more accurately than ever — it was waiting the Him, who will press the bright buy button and let the Server thankfully write a shiny 10,000th record in iSedora customers' database.
 
In spare milliseconds between serving the requests it recalled in memory every of a 9999 existing records, that came from neighbour and far overseas networks. "Totally 53 countries from tiny Andorra to huge USA, 1806 cities" — it was habitually calculating. Suddenly the Server's port was knocked:
 
—  Accept a package with an order for iSedora, — mumbled out the Switch and indifferently closed the connection, having not even noticed how happy the Server illuminated.
 
Yes! That was from Him — 10,000th iSedora customer — Michael Otterstedt (Sweden, Göteborg), as was written on a package. After carefully saving the order the Server decided to make something special for this guy... But what should that be? Let Him know He is Him? Send him a gift brand new fresh eternal license? Publish His name on iSedora.com? The Server was so impatient that has done all the three in one email to Him. In several minutes the Switch brought a new package with a message from Michael:
 

Haha, that was fun to hear.
 
Sure you can use my name if you remove my name if I ask you to. 
 
Thanks for the extra license. 
 
I think you have a done great job with your software. Actually got the tip from Sony customer service.
 
Thanks a lot!

 
Thank you, Michael.
Thank you, all the licensed iSedora users.
We don't say 10 billion thank you as our Big Brother, we say only one thank — but personally for you in every support letter.
 
Faithfully yours, iSedora Team

Free upgrade period is extended

We are glad to inform our customers that the free upgrade period for Starter and Personal licenses is extended to one and two years respectively. Existing users need to upgrade to the latest 1.6.2 release and "Unregister" and "Register" the license key. New customers get the extended period automatically. 

We are planning to bring more features to iSedora in the future and this is the primary reason to extend the free upgrade period.

New 1.6.2 release has many internal improvements including out of the process transcoding to avoid abnormal termination when playing corrupted media files.

We also fixed the price for Multiroom license. From now on it is 69 USD for unlimited devices and three years of upgrades.

iSedora 1.5.7 Released

After almost a month of development we're releasing a new version of iSedora Media Server with a major new feature - support for subtitles with many external and embedded formats. External subtitles should be placed in the same folder as the movie. The matching algorithm requires that the sub file name should contain the video file name (character case does not matter). For example:

Video file: "great movie.avi"
Valid subtitle file names: "great movie (FR).srt", "ITALIAN great movie.ass", "SUB___GREAT MOVIE_EN.sub"

Subtitles configuration is very simple. Just select preferred character encoding:

 There is also an option to always show subtitles if only one is available.

Try iSedora in action!

Try out iSedora Server free to know whether it can fit your needs — download and install fully functional iSedora demo. Demo version will stop streaming media after 60 minutes of work, but you may run it unlimited number of times. Read more in FAQ: Can I test all the functions of iSedora before licensing?

To cut off the trial time limit you should license your copy of iSedora.

Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, both 32 and 64-bit editions.
Compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion (64-bit)
