Review title of RennieMedia access times out

Really like the app however it continuously times out (i.e. simply returns to the main My Server page) after about 30 seconds when trying to access the media pages (music, pictures etc.). The normal web access to the media files works so this is definitely an issue with this app.

Review title of ThomasUseless unless you're running specific version of Serve

The name should be changed to "My Server 2012 R2 Essentials" since that's the only version of Server 2012 R2 which works with this app...basically useless for IT pro's unless using that version.

Review title of JakeMust use ADMIN account to connect!

You will get cert errors and invalid user name errors unless you install the root cert AND login as an Administrator. Update the documentation and I'll update my rating.

Review title of JamesSecurity Error

If you are having a security error try connecting with the server name versus the ip address of the server. This resolved my connection issue. App works but is fairly limited in what you can and can't do. Would love to see some additional enhancements in terms of being able to work with the dashboard in server essentials 2012r2

Review title of JodyGood, but not great

I have a list of things that are missing that would be helpful in the app: * If your account is an Admin, you should be able to create and delete user accounts, possibly set other details (name, contact info, etc.), and see last logon time (since this is a single server, this is just a query to AD lastLogonTimestamp). * it would be nice to be able to also publish remote apps and have them show up in the Windows 8 app. Other than that, I like it. It works great on all my devices.

Review title of Jethon'Almost Perfect!

As long as the Essentials role is installed on the server, then this app will work. Unfortunately, when the RDP app was updated to UWP, that function stopped working.

Everytime I try to play videos from the Media Library it crashes saying an unknown error occurred. The videos stream just fine with the VPN connection and Windows Media Player. The app has the same problem on all computers whether they are on the local network on connected through the Windows VPN, or just through the app. Please fix.
