I am trying to get my ipimp installation to work properly. I have some installation errors and what to seem some random errors.
My setup
- one seat Mediaportal installation on my HTPC with Windows XP
- ipad that should make use of ipimp
Installation errors
I have installed ipimp, but I get some error messages of which I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it. The pictures below show the installation.
I have chosen port 8090 to access ipimp from an external address. I have routed it in my network router. And it works, I can access it from outside my network.
For the IP address to listen to, I still don't know what to enter there. Should that be the address of where ipimp will be accessed from? And if that is an external ip, should I enter my router's ip?
URL reservation failed
I have tried to follow the online FAQ that mentions the error. And that I should install the XP support tools. I did, but the thing is, I cannot use httpcfg and I cannot find it anywhere on my harddisk! (dir httpcfg.exe /s)
FUBAR
I am able to access ipimp from my ipad from outside my network, but from time to time I get FUBAR messages, just like the one below.
This one bugs about SmoothStream (when querying the stream status), but if I go to a channel, select to stream it, it will stream. And after stopping it and going back to the status, it shows no errors anymore.
But I also had once before that it gave at every status screen a similar error. What is causing it and how can I solve it?
Flickering screen
A minor issue is while browsing through ipimp on my ipad, the screen flickers a lot. I have tried both Safari and iCab mobile. Is this a general bug?
So I would like to resolve:
- the installation errors
- random inaccessability (with FUBAR messages)
- flickering of ipimp on my ipad
Oh and a final question:
I will upgrade my htpc soon and I would like to know if it is possible to take advantage of hardware mp4 encoding, with the help of a video card. Is it possible to use e.g. CUDA?
