Re: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.0.2

Thanks for taking some of your time. I hope it can help if anyone else has the same problem. (It is so strange that it works great on my computer but no "text" on the iphone, just background.

It is even stranger that I can browse your site from my iPhone and desktop both without issue. So this points to something on your Phone or Telco - do you get this blank screen (it isn't even blank as you see the bakground stripe image) when browsing via wifi? or 3G or Edge?

Do you have any browser add-ons installed via Cydia etc.?

Whao, didn't even think about asking someone else with iphone to test it for me. Then I know where the problem is at least, thanks for helping me! (Now the rest is up to me).

AW: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.0.2

hey guys....

thx for this great plugin. just installed everything.......works soooo great.

only on problem. i use dyndns. tv server works with power scheduler. it wakes up when i log on over 3g. it transcodes the recording ( i entered the ffdshow.exe as process for keeping tv server running. ) stream starts on iphone.......and here comes the point: i set up the sleep time of tv server to 5 minutes.......and this is what happens. tv server goes to standby and a few minutes after stream stops on iphone. so heres my question: is there any process running on tv server while i watch a stream on the iphone? or maybe any option i didnt see?

hope theres any way to get this fixed

There is no way of doing this at the moment. The httpd process is the Apache Web Server, this process manages all the streams however it runs all the time.

I'll add this to the roadmap and get it into a future release.

I have just installed this excellent plugin on my new ipod touch and all is working well except for the remote control of clients.
How do I find the correct data to place in the admin of clients setup screen?

Just wanted you to know that I fixed the problem with empty ipimp-page. When I knew there was something with my phone I updated it from 1.1.4 to 3.1.2 and now it works prima! (Don't ask why I had 1.1.4 or why I updated just now, it is a long story).

bakerpr - I've added a page on the wiki which details this.

How to find client details.

Thanks Cheezey, but still getting a 'could not connect message' using either the hostname or ip address. How can I check whether the remote plugin is working or could it be that I need to open the port in my router or windows firewall?

Yes - you'll need to open the port (55667 by default) on the windows firewall on your MP clients.

Sorted, Thanks again
Can I ask whether transcoding works with hd h264 streams as I only get a full screen of symbols when I try to play a file.
