iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - original thread (now closed) (8 Viewers)

[cheezey]

One thing I noticed is that on the TV-guide page the weekdays (mo-fri) are translated to swedish, but the rest are in english, maybe this belongs to safari browser?

Interesting - the words 'today' and 'tomorrow' are hard coded, the subsequent five day names are generated by .NET so it looks like they are detecting your language and putting in the Swedish - which is cool - you should see what this says tomorrow - then you should see 'Saturday' in Swedish. I will be updating the application to do multi-languages throughout - maybe you could provide the swedish translations when I get round to it?

another small thing that I noticed is that some channels are duplicated in the TV-guide, I have a dual DVB-T tuner and a analog tuner, I think that the channels belonging to the DVT-T tuner is duplicated.

iPiMP just picks up the channels that are loaded in your TV server - do you combine channels or hide certain ones in TV server?

One wish, it would be nice to be able to search by genre, ie to easy be able view films.

I shall add this to the to do list.

Now I'm enjoing the recordings on my Ipod Touch (2g)!

Thanks again,

You're welcome

Problem with .NET

Hi Cheezey
Thanks for a great application.

It has really made my life easier.

But when I installed 3.2.0 I get the following error when I try to start the TranscodeClient:

System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'TvBusinessLayer, Version=1.0.0.29884, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
File name: 'TvBusinessLayer, Version=1.0.0.29884, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

Is there something missing in my .NET installation?

Hi Again Cheesey,

Of course I will help with the swedish translation!

And you right, I have three duplicate channels, but only visible under some menys in tv-server conf and with some skins, very odd. and I don't know how to edit them, without doing a new channel search.

Some more things noticed:

1) Under service status, both states are "unknown".
2) If I setup a new recording it will not pickup the pre/post recording times setup in tv-server config, but use 5 min instead of my 1 minute setup.

What about an a new structure under recordings, named "This week", "Last week", "Last Month" and maybe "Last year" or "All" , I think an option for all recordings could be useful, what do you think?

Could you add the duration of the recordings on the recording view on the todo list, I have a 5 min and 45 min recording of Alison & Plant, and I don't remember the starttime for the program.

One last question, is it possible to que transcode actions, or will I have to wait for the transcoding to stop and then start a new transcoding?

Thank you - I will be in touch.

1) Under service status, both states are "unknown".

This happens if the apache process does not have permissions to read the service database, can you confirm you are running the apache web server deployed with iPiMP? Or are you running the web server on a different PC from the TV server?

2) If I setup a new recording it will not pickup the pre/post recording times setup in tv-server config, but use 5 min instead of my 1 minute setup.

5 mins pre/post recording is hard coded in iPiMP - I shall add that to the to do list to fix.

What about an a new structure under recordings, named "This week", "Last week", "Last Month" and maybe "Last year" or "All" , I think an option for all recordings could be useful, what do you think?

Good idea.

Will do.

One last question, is it possible to que transcode actions, or will I have to wait for the transcoding to stop and then start a new transcoding?

I can have a look and see if this would be easy to do. In the meantime you can use the TranscodeClient (shourtcut on your start menu) to transcode, you can select multiple recordings with it and it queues them up one after the other.

Yes, the iPiMP is the apache deployed with iPiMP, and yes it is running on the same PC as the TV-server.

Thanks for the tip on the Transcodeclient, havn't seen that yet!

Can you confirm what version of TV Server you are running?

Yes, the iPiMP is the apache deployed with iPiMP, and yes it is running on the same PC as the TV-server.

Can you check your security event log for any Audit failures accessing the service database or anything beginning with SC_

Hi,

Could you give me some more info on where to look, is it for the apache server och somewhere else?

One more thing, where can I see, and modify the logout time, I forgot what I choose...

TV server 1.0 on a vista 64bit sp1

Hi tried to use your new version and it seems to work a bit...

I have problems, but i dont have an iphone and think this could be the prob lol...

if i check pimp on my pc webbbrowser, i see piimp and all links fine, but cant get anything to work (even user/admin passwort settings etc
and could this be working someday on my nokia n-series?

especially because it doesnt have the webapp.net thing?

Hi tried a ne w install, after restarting pc after deinstall pimp, and now it works but only !! with google chrome!!

Opera not, explorer 6 ? not!! working.

So it seems it is all good !

But on my phone it wont work, tried 3 Browser and there are many problems (with opera i can see the login page, can login see the first page but then nothing works, seems that i get then the html code (only text), with inbuild browser i even cant login...

thats not so nice, but yes i know, its not an iphone....

Hi,

One more thing, where can I see, and modify the logout time, I forgot what I choose...

/Mikael

The Security event log is a windows log, to view it Start -> Run -> Eventvwr.msc

For logout timeout - read iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 3.2.0 - Page 13 - MediaPortal Forum

vista 64bit sp1

This may be the issue - all iPiMP components are compiled on a 32bit platform - I'm not sure what to do to compile it for 64bit. I shall have a dig around - or if anyone has some info let us know! Or is anyone else running a64bit platform and can run the iPiMP TranscodeClient ?

thats not so nice, but yes i know, its not an iphone....

you could alway trade yours for a shiny new iphone
