iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - original thread (now closed) (7 Viewers)

[Alfrescoid]

Hey, thanks for the new version cheezey! I now have a working install, no more installation errors

One small issue, I'm having the zero-size thumbnail issue like someone else reported a few weeks ago...any clue? So far I have only tested thumbnails created during a manual transcode...

I'll try a scheduled transcode and see if the same issue exists there.

Thanks again for a killer app!

--------------------

Update: OK, I set iPiMP to transcode immediately and recorded a short program...transcode worked fine with thumbnail...so it appears the zero-size thumbnail occurs only for manual transcode

I want to make a plugin for Opera mobile, which will also control MediaPortal. Since you already got it, I want to change it to get it working on all mobile browsers (if that's fine by you).

Hey dubbled - 3.4.0 should work with Opera mobile now - have a look and see what you think. If you still want to reuse the iPiMP client plugin drop me a PM with your email and I'll send you on the code.

For some reason the slider buttons done work for me in iPimp on the iPhone?

The slider buttons just look like slider buttons, try tapping them instead.

Update: OK, I set iPiMP to transcode immediately and recorded a short program...transcode worked fine with thumbnail...so it appears the zero-size thumbnail occurs only for manual transcode

Thanks for the report - This works for me here. Can you retry then attach your C:\Program Files\iPiMP\apache\log\error.log

Hello,

I installed IPimp yesterday 3.4.0. I choose "MediaPortal remote control web installation", I just change port 88, and finished installation. Then I tried to access the web site and I got the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
No http handler was found for request type 'GET'
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Any idea of the problem?
Thanks,

Man, how conditioned have I become. I must have tried to "slide" the button at least 50 times, not once did I do (or think to do) a simple tap (which worked).

Thanks

Love the app

HI cheezey,

I installed 3.4. Works good. Only the Trascode fails everytime. On my PC only the 3.1 Version works . The 3.3 an 3.4 dont transcode any Movie

Can you retry then attach your C:\Program Files\iPiMP\apache\log\error.log

I retry and failed again. Is it possible that a / is wrong.

Output #0, mp4, to 'D:/mediacenter/aufnahmen/ipod ------>\<------------ heute-journal - ZDF - 2009-03-22.mp4':

Is it possible to get the system to log straight into the remote control page on the iphone? I have tried to create a link and save it as an icon on my phone, but the closest I can get is to get to is straight to the main menu page then I still have to select the client/remote control etc?

If I exit the app from the remote control page, when I go back in the remote page comes up for a few seconds then flips back to the main menu page

Cheers

Looks like you have modified the default transcode parameters...

    Stream #0.0:Video: [B]mpeg4[/B], yuv420p, [B]720x576[/B] [PAR 64:45 DAR 16:9], [B]q=2-31[/B], 200 kb/s, 25.00 tb(c)
    Stream #0.1(deu): Audio: libfaac, s16, 64 kb/s

line 153 of your log shows

Error while opening codec for output stream #0.1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

Can you reset the transcode settings to iPiMP defaults and retry. If it still fails re-attach a new error.log.

No. The iPiMP web app only consists of two pages, a logon page and a default page. All other screens are genereated using XmlHTTPRequests from the default page with the results being stored in memory and rendered in the default page.

The behaviour you are seeing is due to you saving a shortcut to your springboard, when you launch such a shortcut the last screen used is displayed until the iPhone sends a refresh request, this refresh requests the default page and as the XmlHTTPRequets data has been lost (due to you closing the browser session) so all you get is the default page.

Your scenario would require a change to the iPiMP application.
