NuVo Releases Android Version of Direct Stream
NuVo Technologies has released the Android version of Direct Stream for its Player Portfolio app that allows users to stream content stored on any Android device directly to the NuVo system. Available now for download, the NuVo Player App version 1.8 enables Android devices with track selection, volume control and more. Direct Stream for iOS devices is also available, released on March 19th.
Audio files residing on the device itself are accessible if both the device and the NuVo Player Portfolio system are on the same network. When connected, each Android becomes another audio source, the content of which is accessible as a library within the app and can be listened to by any zone on the system. As many as 16 streams can be accessed simultaneously, and the app provides controls for play/pause, next song/last song and shuffle mode.
The app with Direct Stream requires that the NuVo Player Portfolio be updated with firmware version 1.8. If the firmware has not yet been updated, opening the app will initiate the download and installation of the new version. Once the system is updated and the app is opened, it will initiate a brief tutorial on using the direct stream feature. The app is available here and more information about NuVo is available here.
