Hurl Brings a Unique Element to DLNA
More people are online, able to watch any video at any time, and connected to each other in ways never before possible. One way companies have utilized technology for consumers is by giving them the ability to view music, photos, and video stored on a mobile device across other computers, mobile devices, gaming systems, and Internet-connected televisions. DLNA, or Digital Living Network Alliance, has existed for years now, but an app called Hurl looks to add some unique elements to it. Unlike services like AirPlay, AppleTV, or Chromecast, users are not limited to particular brands, and it does not limit users to either iOS or Android specifically. Instead, it works from any tablet or smartphone to connect to any other device connected to the Internet across any type of network connection. Aside from these distinctions, Hurl also adds a particular and somewhat unique social aspect to its service.
Hurl works by allowing users to download the app using tech support features for any mobile device and then setting up an account on the website. The app then uses the built-in GPS to connect to any enabled device nearby. Users can then search online for videos and play them on a PC with the smartphone acting as a remote. You can choose from any video in your queue at any time. Part of the app’s social element is that you can allow as many people as you like to connect to your Hurl service and individually contribute to your video queue. Each user can vote on videos, like and dislike, skip them in the queue, and add comments to any video he or she views for all to see in a sort of private network.
Hurl account owners have complete control and, since Internet security is always a risk with connecting to others over various networks and connections, you will want to utilize the app’s password protection and explicit content controls. You can also create a video queue limit, and you completely control whom you add or remove whenever you like. Further contributing the its social aspect, Hurl provides built-in Reddit support so that you can connect for the latest in all the news trending online when you have difficulty finding something that interests you. The app certainly makes group gatherings more entertaining, as anyone with a smartphone can upload a video, allowing people to see things they have not yet that they can then collect and share with others. If you are searching for a DLNA app, Hurl is definitely one you ought to consider.
