iHomeServer Screenshots

Below are a sample of screen shots of different aspects of iHomeServer covering the main iHomeServer Management console, iHomeServer Add-in for Windows Home Server and the iHomeServer web interface

Don't forget you can download a free trial of iHomeServer and try it out for yourself!

Console Home

iHomeServer runs all the time as a background process (or a Windows Service if you prefer).

You can access iHomeServer via the iHomeServer Console that can run on the same or different machine as iHomeServer or integrate into a Windows Home Server / Windows Server 2012 Essentials dashboard

The 'Home' tab of the iHomeServer Console gives you quick access to enable or disable each iHomeServer feature.

Watch Folders

The iHomeServer Watch Folder tab allows you to set up and configure folders on your computer that will be monitored for new media files.

Use this feature to maintain your existing folder structure when you use iTunes or, if running as a server, create Watch Folders on your network share folders so that you can import media into iTunes from remote computers by copying and pasting files into your existing media shares.

iTunes View

The iHomeServer iTunes View shows you your iTunes library arranged by iTunes Media type and playlist.

Where as the Watch Folder view arranges your media by its physical folder, the iTunes View arranges your media using its iTunes metadata.

Synchronise Library

If you are running iTunes on several family computers under different iTunes accounts, it's normally difficult to share your content between your family members.

iHomeServer solves this.

Install iHomeServer on each computer running iTunes and then you can configure subscriptions between iTunes computers (even if they are running under different iTunes accounts).

Subscriptions can be specified at playlist level, or for an entire library and are synchronised in the background.

Handbrake Conversions

The conversions tab keeps track of Handbrake Conversion tasks being managed by iHomeServer.

You can configure iHomeServer to automatically rip any DVD you insert into iTunes or you can configure a Watch Folder to be 'conversion enabled'. In this case, any video media you add into that folder will automatically get converted into iTunes friendly video formats by iHomeServer.

Metadata Editing

iHomeServer comes with a supercharged metadata editor. Select tracks either in the Watch Folder or iTunes View tabs and edit their metadata and cover art.

You can also search the Internet for movie/television metadata or AutoTag media automatically

Internet Metadata Search

When editing media metadata, click the 'Search' button to search Internet metadata provides such as The Movie DB, The TV DB, and tagChimp.

Then assign your search result to a track in your library with one click

Your metadata and artwork will then show up on all your connected devices

All this can be done from the browser of most devices on your home network or on the Internet using our secure service at www.StreamMyiTunes.com

Web View - AutoTag

Movie and Television Series AutoTag is also available via iHomeServer Web Access
