Here you go...

One thing I notice, you're using an UNC path to your MP4 folder, the iPiMP installer doesn't take account of that so can you manually update your iPiMP.conf, lines 45 & 60 need an extra '/' so is says '//NAS' instaead of '/NAS'

If you make those changes and restart the iPiMPweb service and see if that makes any difference.

Also is there anything in your apache\logs\error.log ?

(I've made a note on the to do list to write a utility to gather all these logs/config files to help debug problems in the future!)

If you want something to stream music on the iPod/iTouch, take a look at SimplifyMedia - Simplify Media - Connect Your Music

Great application (used to be free, not sure if it costs now)

Hi,

Firstly thanks for all your help and quick responses.

I added the '/' and changed it to IP address to make sure. This prevented the apache service from starting refering to error code 1??

So have now changed it to a local drive 'c:/'. The service starts successfully but any links to a sub folder deeper than the apache root still fail.

This is a copy of a link that is failing:

http://192.168.0.4:8080/TVGuide%5CListTVGuideGroups.aspx#_TVChannelGroups

It would appear the %5C is translating to a '\' as the status bar diplays:

http://192.168.0.4:8080/TVGuide\ListTVGuideGroups.aspx#_TVChannelGroups

To me it appears to be an incorrect environment variable (%5C) or something? Nothing to do with your plugin.


The apache log after started is below. I can't see anthing untoward.

%5C is the url encoded '\' character so that should be OK. In fact you're running the same code as everyone else so it should work aarrgghh!!

Your apache log looks ok too.

A couple of other questions:

Is this running on the same PC as your TV Server?
Can you attach your c:\program files\ipimp\aspx\bin\gentle.config

Hi Cheseey,

I'm enjoing your plugin every morning, reading the morningpaper and scheduling recordings at the breakfast table

One question, is it possible to set the MP4 and tv-logos directories to my NAS (UNC paths)?

Thanks,

This has got me stumped. What is your iPhone firmware version?

Yes it is possible, you can manually edit %INSTDIR%\Apache\Conf\iPiMP.conf and put in your NAS path there.

You'll have to ensure your share security allows iPiMP to read from the TVLogos path and Read/Write/Delete the on the MP4 path. The iPiMP web service runs as the local system account so you'd have to grant access to the PC's machine account or change the iPiMPweb service account to some other named account or allow anonymous access to your shares.

I'll update the installer to take account of UNC paths in the next release.

Not much at the moment I'm afraid. I'll be updating the transcode plugin to allow the ffmpeg parameters to be editable so you could do something then.

What's your system spec? (CPU/RAM)
