Asustor: LooksGood 2.0 Beta Multimedia App for NAS

Asustor Inc. announced the LooksGood 2.0 Beta upgrade for multimedia.

This brand version of LooksGood features a redesigned user interface that gives user a fresh experience no matter if they are managing their video collection or playing videos via their Web browser. All company’s NAS users are welcome to upgrade to and experience the brand LooksGood 2.0.

LooksGood is a dedicated management center for video files and a Web-based video player. Compatible with the most popular web browsers, users need only enable the LooksGood App from within ADM to begin playing 1080p high definition videos. The LooksGood 2.0 Beta features an interface that displays video collections via thumbnails and a poster wall layout for browsing. Furthermore, enhanced smart database management provides global searches providing more speed and efficiency for users.

“With LooksGood 2.0 we have enhanced interface aesthetics and search engine performance that allows users to quickly find the videos they want to watch,” said James Su, product manager, Asustor. “Additionally, our meticulously developed smart folder conversion technology allows users to specify a smart folder for video conversions. Any videos that are added to this folder will be automatically converted to a lower resolution allowing users that are on the go to enjoy a smooth playback experience at any time.”

The upgraded version of LooksGood features three main video library categories: movies, TV shows and home videos.

Videos can also be automatically sorted according to information such as year, genre and actors allowing users to search for the videos they want to play.

Furthermore, LooksGood 2.0 provides a video library function allowing users with large collections of video recordings to retain the flexibility of a self-defined database for managing videos.
