Reviews for Nero MediaHome 2020
An extremely long and frustrating installation process on my Windows 10! But once completed, the program ran well and without any glitches.
The media search and generating thumbnails was extremely slow.
Only time will tell if it was worth the time and effort of such a long install and setup.
Totally useless app even for free and Nero is dare to ask 20 USD for this? Unbelievable. You can get much better apps really for free not just app with links to buy another software…
Those who have a large collection of images, movies, and songs know how much of a struggle it is to find a specific song or a movie or an image from a specific event. It is very difficult to organize and manage a huge collection of multimedia files, and most of us tend to give up on it easily.
Nero MediaHome 2017 is a multimedia manager software application, designed to provide you an all-in-one solution for all your multimedia collection on your PC. With this application, you can easily archive, organize, create, and play back your files from your collection.
Installation
The installation process did not go as smooth as I expected it to be. The installer is ~237MB in size and the comes with an installation wizard, that guides you through the process. The application requires Microsoft VC 2010 to be present on your PC to run, I already had it installed on my PC. When the installation wizard attempted to install it on my PC, instead of detecting that it is already installed and continuing the installation, it gave me an error and installation stopped. I had to remove the already installed Microsoft VC 2010 and reboot twice for the installation to finish successfully.
Pros
Clean UI
Upon launching, the start-up interface shows rectangular buttons arranged under five categories, namely ‘Manage & Play’, ‘Edit & Convert’, ‘Rip & Burn’, ‘Backup & Rescue’, ‘Extras’. Each button has a small button, when clicked it displays information about that particular tool. MediaHome and Media Browser buttons work only, the other tools need to be downloaded and installed before they can be used.
Launching the Nero MediaHome, you can see a user-friendly interface designed to help you browse through the files, sort them and customize their details. For photos and videos, timeline viewing mode is present which arranges the photos and videos by the date they were added.
Video Tutorials
One thing that really impressed me about this tool is, it comes with a lot of tutorial videos. The videos are played within the UI from an online source, and it contains a lot of tutorials to help you get started with the application easily.
Great Features
The tool comes with a powerful search function, that can help you find the media files you require quickly. The applications also views thumbnails for images and videos, along with the option to edit their name and view details such as file type, size, date taken and modified, storage location and rating.
Moreover, finding images with this tool is made faster by face recognition and location options. Face recognition feature let’s you select and name faces, so you can search all the photos of that person easily. Moreover, if you have misplaced pictures that you took at a certain location, you can easily find them with this application.
You can also view and play all your images, music, and movies straightaway with this application, no external player is needed and it supports most of the formats.
Edit photos
This tool also comes with a built-in photo editor, that offers a few useful tools and effects to enhance your photos. You can adjust brightness, color, crop, orientation and even apply various effect filters that are bundled with the editor.
Cons
Stopped responding a few times
A few times, while scanning for media and generating thumbnails its performance really struggled and it froze permanently and had to be restarted. Moreover, the scanning and generating thumbnail process takes forever even with a small amount of media files.
Conclusion
Nero MediaHome 2017 is definitely a multimedia manager application that has a lot to offer for such reasonable price. Most of the features and tools work smoothly, with a few occasional glitches. It is definitely recommended for people with huge collection of media files.
Managing different types of files on your devices may not be your stronghold. Thankfully, you can find the solution in Nero MediaHome 2017. It promises to simplify the process of organizing, creating and playing back your files across devices connected to the same wireless network. Here is my experience after using this media manager.
Overview
With a simple installation wizard, you will find it easy to complete the Nero MediaHome 2017’s installation process. The program’s interface is nothing complicated when you fire it up. You will have it easy navigating through the different options.
Pros
Great sense of organization
Right from the get go Nero MediaHome 2017 comes across as a solution for organizing your files. In addition to its wireless control feature that it gives its users, this program quickly sorts your files on your PC. It does so by indexing the files you add by their types. At the same time, I used personal tags to achieve a detailed level or organization.
Compatible with Windows Media Player
Although I currently use Windows 10, I have installed the classic Windows Media Player. In turn, it was quite impressive when I noted that Nero MediaHome 2017 seamlessly connected to the Windows Media Player. This compatibility really helped me save time that I would have spent in undertaking further organization. That was not all. I noted that this version of Nere MediaHome played a wide range of file types. This was due to the program’s built-in video codecs.
The compatibility goes further to make it easy play videos, audios and photos across any device connected to the same wireless network at your place. I was able to play my mobile phone content on my TV while using the phone as my remote control.
Easily edit photos
Although not a blown-out editing software, Nero MediaHome 2017’s approach to present various photo editing tools like Red Eye Removal and Auto Enhance is welcome. The good thing about the whole approach is that you connect your Smart TV and preview the edited photos on a large screen for an improved viewing experience. In case you want further details to show after editing your photos, you can proceed to take advantage of the available visual effects and adjusting tools.
Con
No option to customize hotkeys
Being a media player, I was expecting to freely playing around with Nero MediaHome 2017. Unfortunately, I lacked the flexibility that I wanted in having an option to customize hotkeys that would have made my shortcut usage experience much better.
Verdict
Given the different features that Nero MediaHome 2017 gives, it would be hard to skip it on your quest to improve your media management experience at home. The ability to control the PC installed version using your mobile device wirelessly is something to which you can forward. It is worth a try.
