spacepirate They seem to recommend HereSphere currently, which is a good player but you can't use it with their scripts. They've partnered up with an outfit that auto-generates scripts but only offers them for streaming via a browser, so to use POVR scripts you literally have to use Meta Browser or similar and you're limited to 1920p streaming which by today's standards is like watching SD TV in black and white. The device connection experience is terrible and unreliable. It's such a poor experience that it's actively user-hostile, but they get super-defensive about it and say that the vast majority of their customers use the browser all the time. If they do, it's only because better integrated options aren't available.
I think SLR ought to have good competition and I want to see scripts become a standard feature for literally all content, so it's doubly upsetting that the only real alternative in terms of content selection are doing nothing to push the envelope. With SLR basically owning Deo they get to push it in the directions they want and need, which might not always be what we want (coughDNLAcough) but at least they can provide app support for new site features. POVR needs to own an app; they should buy out HereSphere, if you ask me.
