Re: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.1.0

Quick question: I have moved my transcode directory from C:\iPMP to D:\iPMP. I changed the two references to this directory in iPimp.cfg (I think that's the filename) in the Apached directory, but my already-converted recordings still aren't recognized as converted. And transcoding again fails becuase the filename already exists.

What does it take to move the transcode directory after iPMP is already configured?

Thanks-
Jason

Change line 45 in C:\Program Files\iPiMP\Apache\conf\iPiMP.conf

 Alias /MP4 "C:/iPMP"

to

 Alias /MP4 "D:/iPMP"

and change line 60

<Directory "C:/iPMP">

to

<Directory "D:/iPMP">

Then restart the iPiMPWeb service.

Also change the MP4 path in the iPiMPTranscodeToMP4 TV server plugin and restart the TVService.

I'm looking forward your next version with Handbrake support

I'm testing this just now. Hopefully not too long.

bhengeveld - Thanks for the feedback! I know running multiple Apache's isn't the best solution, when I get some time I'll try to document the process to get iPiMP running with an existing Apache install.

As for the issue using 'internal ddshow player' - can you send the actual FUBAR stacktrace?

Hello again cheezey,

I made my machine crash today, in order to give you the stacktrace. At least, to give you what I think a stacktrace is, because I've never heard of it. I made a printscreen of it, since I couldn't select the text in google chrome and am to lazy to type. The image is attached to this reply

grtz, b

I think I have resolved this - it will be in the next version.

EDIT - No it's not

Hi cheezey

As you probably remember, I have done the danish translations, but after been using it for a while on a windows pda (IPAQ 2490b), I have found several places where the text is to much, so there is not enough room - ie in the music section we can only read music sorted by.... (and you can't see if it is album, year or artist) - so I need to change that.

The best browser on a windows system is the Dorothy browser (a webkit based browser).

Thank you for a very good and solid program, after using it for a while I also have some suggestions, you might consider - and don't take me wrong, it is just something that I feel could be improved, and are presented for you in this spirit.

1. It is somewhat complicated to be used as a remote for Mediaportal for kids and non-technically persons.
1.a Could it be possible to avoid the log in procedure completely - like an option you check once.



2. As I see it the most needed functions for this application is for controlling MediaPortal without the need for turning on the TV, and off course this is very important for choosing music and radio-stations.

2.a Could it be possible to remove the functions you don't need - so if I only want to use it for controlling music and radio-stations - I could simply untick all the pages I don't want in a sort of configuration menu ---------- YES I have seen that some of the functions can be removed, but send message can't be removed

2.b I haven't found out how to use iPiMP for selecting the radio, could you add this functionality on the iPiMP client side, where you have: remote control, my videos, my music ect and here add my Radio?


I really dream of something like a Sonos remote for MediaPortal, I have looked at the tutorial, and it seems very easy to use.
So for me the best setup would be;
no log in
Main menu should be: choose which client you want to control (and if you only have one MP-client - this first page off course wouldn't show).
On the next page; = the current MediaPortal Client page with; remote, my videos ect.
If possible ad at the "sort by artist" and "sort by album" add the alphabet at the left margin, so you can easily scroll through all your albums (like in contacts in our phonebook).

Regards
Steen

Hi Steen

As you probably remember, I have done the danish translations, but after been using it for a while on a windows pda (IPAQ 2490b), I have found several places where the text is to much, so there is not enough room - ie in the music section we can only read music sorted by.... (and you can't see if it is album, year or artist) - so I need to change that.

I'll email you the current language file and you can update it as necessary.

The best browser on a windows system is the Dorothy browser (a webkit based browser).

Any browser called Dorothy must be worth a look

Thank you for a very good and solid program, after using it for a while I also have some suggestions, you might consider - and don't take me wrong, it is just something that I feel could be improved, and are presented for you in this spirit.

Steen - all feedback is warmly welcomed - I try to include as many feature requests as possible.

1.a Could it be possible to avoid the log in procedure completely - like an option you check once.

This is already available - ensure your browser (Dorothy - sorry I love this name!!) has cookies enabled and use the 'Remember Me' button on the logon page. This will store your logon details in a cookie for a period of time which you select when installing iPiMP. There's a couple of referneces to this in the Tips & Tricks page on the wiki.

2.a Could it be possible to remove the functions you don't need - so if I only want to use it for controlling music and radio-stations - I could simply untick all the pages I don't want in a sort of configuration menu ---------- YES I have seen that some of the functions can be removed, but send message can't be removed

This has been requested by another user also, I have added this to the roadmap for a future version, it probably isn't too much work so it may be in the next+1 release.

2.b I haven't found out how to use iPiMP for selecting the radio, could you add this functionality on the iPiMP client side, where you have: remote control, my videos, my music ect and here add my Radio?

I have also added this to the roadmap, that will be a bit more work though so may take a while. I'm still the only developer on iPiMP and my home & work life is busy at the moment so I don't get too much time to code.

If possible ad at the "sort by artist" and "sort by album" add the alphabet at the left margin, so you can easily scroll through all your albums (like in contacts in our phonebook).

This would be a feature needed in the Webapp.net framework I use, I shall ask on their forums if this is possible or request it as a new feature.
