Getting the same error when trying to use the "status" pages in ipimp.
Tried restarting ipimp service with no luck. Streaming works ok.

FATAL ERROR: No configuration store was found! Gentle is unable to continue! The handlers emitted the following error messages: Unable to create GentleSectionHandler for section named "gentle" in file "C:\Program Files\iPiMP\Aspx\web.config". Unable to create FileHandler for file Gentle.config. This usually means that the file could not be found in any of the default search locations.

Hi there Cheezey, Is there a simple tweak to allow streaming of tvseries and moving pictures from my x510 (windows home server) i have ipimp installed on my mce and watching live tv works perfect but whenever i try to stream a tvserie or a movie, the option stream is not available. But when i copy the series and movies to the local harddisk the option is available. are mapped drives not allowed? also \\server\seriesfolder does not work.

ps donation made.. :) keep up the good work using ipimp alot lately

AW: iPiMP 5.1.0 is released

Hello Cheezey,

i´ve really hard problems, to stream tv over network.
I can controll all of the MP funktion, but if i start streaming, no such stream is comming. i don´t know whats wrong. May you can help?
With MP-Client from remote no problem, but ipad or android no work. I´ve tried different codecs too.
I use MP1.1.0, W7
Here are the logs:

Does this happen every time with every status page?

Thanks for the donation, much appreciated.

The logic is fairly simple, the option to stream is shown if the logged on user has been assigned the watcher role and the iPiMP web app can 'see' the file. Certainly UNC paths are allowed (I use them), I'm not sure about mapped drives, the drive mapping will have been made in the context of your logged on user whereas the iPiMP web app runs in the 'Local System' context so may not have sufficient permissions. My UNC shares are all setup allowing everyone access.

Read the troubleshooting section of the wiki and post some logs.

Here are the logs:

When you say no stream is coming - what do you see? Black screen? Some error message? Do you see or hear anything, even briefly? Do you try to start the stream on your iPhone some time after the countdown has finished?

Your logs show the streaming in action, is also shows that the ffmpeg process is running at 6 frames per second which is very slow, bearing in mind your video input is running at 26.89 fps the transcoding process cannot keep pace with the video input so live streaming will probably not work. You may have to edit the ffmpeg transcoding parameters to see if you can improve your fps, the ffmpeg parameters are stord in C:\Program Files\iPiMP\Aspx\config.xml. There is also a thread in the forum which discusses some of these settings which you might find useful.

Black screen is right. I don´t see or hear anything. I try to start the stream after the countdown is finished. Next try, i´ll wait some time, ok.

With the ffmpeg i´ll loking in the evening, now i´m at work.

cheezey,

first, I want to say thank you for this nice plugin !

I am an ipad user and installed your plugin yesterday. So far it seems to run fine. I can connect my ipad via the safari browser, streaming works, remote control works.

One thing I don't understand is, that not all of my videos show up. From the main menue in the safari browser (happens also with firefox on desktop pc), I select mediaportal clients -> my Videos -> all videos. At that point I only see 5 videos.

What happend to the rest ? :)

Hello, first I thought so but when I checked now every status page and they are all OK.
Will post again if the error message returns.

There's something on this in the Tips & Tricks section of the wiki.

Make sure you have imported all your videos.
