Hi,

what a great plugin!
Are there plans to get support for Apple devices like iPhone or iPad?
I'm not able to play content via Frash (Flash for iOS) on iDevices.
I'm getting the error:

Code:
_abort() food.c:43

Thanks, Tom

For iPhone there is an app called CouchPotato, at the moment it only acts like an remote, but is supposed to do more in future.

For iPad there is no real solution yet, but a big one is up on the horizon - EVE

Thanks! But a remote control app for 2,99€. I have iPimp and it's working very well :)

...but the answer is not relating to MPExtended, right? But at all, Thank your for your help.

Well, didn't see that this was in MPEtended Forum....but nevertheless it is related to it.

Both Apps need MPExtended installed on your machine, MPExtended itself is just a door into MP, but you need some application to use it.
I guess you have been using MPExtended Webmediaportal so far, which is one of those programs.

I'm sure, iPimp itself is a plugin which don't need MPExtended, but whatever there isn't it anything what is supporting my iPad :(

    Streaming support for iOS needs either another developer, enough people donating to me or patience. I would like to have this feature, but I'm already busy enough and as I won't use it myself, it isn't high on my priority list.

    You are right, but iPimp is basically the same as Webmediaportal, it's a webserver. But in contrast to WMP iPimp is no longer developed.
    Maybe WMP will support iOS devices in future, but with EVE you will have an app that connects to MPExtended and will give you the same possibilities like WMP but wihtout the need to use safari and it's visual limitations.
    So on the iPad you probably won't use a more or less boring Website to remote access your HTPC but a fancy looking App like EVE. Same goes for iPhone.

    True, but whether you use WebMP or EVE, you'll still need to have iOS streaming in the service to get it working...

    True...what does it have to do with more money donated? Is there the possibility to buy such a solution?

    You are right, the one on the repository is correct, not sure how I ended up with a different version. See attached the incorrect version I ended up with.
