Live tv freezes after half a second with internal player on i9100 (samsung galaxy SII) and android 4.0.4 just like the previous version of ampdroid. With BSplayer it works, but no skipping function.
I also noticed a strange error in the mpextended log

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  at System.IO.Stream.EndRead(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
  at MPExtended.Services.StreamingService.Code.StreamCopy.MediaReadAsyncCallback(IAsyncResult ar) in C:\Users\Oxan\Documents\Projects\MPExtended\Services\MPExtended.Services.StreamingService\Code\StreamCopy.cs:line 82

Looks like there are some hardcoded paths in the code? My user folder doesn't contain oxan.
There are several more, see log file

Edit. Ultra Low HTTP stream seems to work. Everything higher will freeze at some point

The path is just this way because it was compiled by oxan, has nothing todo with the issue...

We don't know excactly what causes the live tv issues but we're pretty sure it's because of the video codecs on many phones. Since you don't have skipping on live-tv anyways (not yet ), there's not much drawback in using an external player for tv. For videos and recordings the internal player should work fine...

On a general note:
I know that there are a few issues and instabilities, the code changes from the previous version were huge and at some point I had to release it. It was expected and a bugfix release is planned within the next 1-2 weeks. Same goes for MPExtended, give it some time I think the new features and improvements are worth every cent. Please don't go ahead and post negative comments/reviews because it didn't work on the first try, that is hugely frustrating for us.

That said, thx for all the positive feedback guys, really digging it...

TV streaming is OK on my nexus 10, but if I try to stream recorded TV, it crashes aMPdroid with the following logs in MPExtended:

Yes there is a bug in the recording details page (already fixed), for now you can use long-press actions from the recordings list...

Using VLC direct for FHD movies, is it possible to increase the streaming buffer size to avoid stutters during playback through wifi ? (with a kind of pre-download)

Good job DieBagger, ampdroid is working nearly perfect on my LG Nexus 4 with internal Player!

I have one Question about the "Videos"-Link on the frontpage of the app. I think most peoples have only one database for videos, moving pictures or myfilms or myvideos. So my question is, can you make in further development an option field in the backend for deactivating one of this links or take this place for the link to the recordings? or maybe for a link to the pictures? ;-)

Hi DieBagger,

It just keeps getting better and better!

Just tested playing movies using the "Play on PC" option and unlike the previous versions, I can now start playing ALL types of movie including ISO's and DVD folder rips (Video_TS). Thank you for adding this!!

However, I have noticed that this only works from "Movies" (Moving Pictures) and not from "Videos" (MyVideos). In fact "Play on PC" doesn't seem to be working for any file type from the "Videos" section (at least for me). Is there any chance it could work with both in future versions?

Thanks again for all the hard work on this!!

Re music. I have the same problem. Can't stream or playback on my MP. Adding a track to the queue does work though??

Music and 1.3 MyVideos aside I can see just how much work has gone into this release. Thank you DieBagger!

Beyond this vague report please let me know what info I can provide to help bugfix.


Thanks,

Wo0zy

Hi DieBagger,

Bit more info regarding the above. It seems if I select an album all tracks get added to the playlist and play either on my phone or on my PC. It's only when I try to play an individual track (either locally or on the PC) that nothing seems to happen.

Don't know if that helps at all.

Cheers,

Wo0zy.

Well the long-term plan is to make the home-screen configurable...

Aaaaaah, ok that explains a lot because that is indeed not working (stupid oversight on my part)... Will be an easy fix, is this the same for everyone else with music streaming problems???
