Hi, i got the same error as JohanJ. Update coming sone?

Maybe in one week. It takes long time because of apple review. I will send an update to apple in a couple of days and after that they do review (about 5 days).
Of course these updates will be for free.
Could you use same credentials for this period? Is it working ok with same credentials?

I have got this working, but I have found a number of problems
1: TV shows current channel at top of screen, but does not show TV guide.
2: Recorded TV, lists recordings, but there are no thumbnails, and when you select a recording there is no play function
3: Movies: Russian text in details box, also when you go back into the program, the cache is fully refreshed, since I have hundreds of movies this takes a ridiculously long time
4: Radio, not showing logos and the station list is not the default that is selected in media player. I.e. I have the "hide all channels group" checked for both radio and TV
5: what does the "Main" button do?
6: What is the "Settings" icon at the top left meant to do?

This project has great potential but I really think that based on this it was to early to start charging for it.

1. It does not show current program playing? I'll check it.
2. When you hit recording it shows you the list of recording with the same name. Choose one and double click on it.
3. I'll fix localization. The cache is updated every 30 minutes. Maybe there is no need for that.
4. MPExtended does not provide radio logos for the moment. It will be fixed in future mpextended releases.
5. Main button means Main Zone. For the moment my app supports only one zone. Multi-seat will be added soon.
6. I did reserved this button. I am sure I will add some functionality to settings icon in the future. For the moment it is empty that's why nothing happen.

I agree that the app is now in Beta stage. All the bugs listed by you are minor bugs (the app working, no crashes and 99% of functionality is working). I appreciate that you told me about these bugs and I'll fix it.
I'll will support everybody who buy my app. And they will receive free updates to stable version.

Just tell me. Do you enjoy using it? Is it convenient to use?

I decided to generate 5 promo codes. If somebody wants to test the app for free just write here a message and I will give him promo code. The requirement is that the user will add his review here after testing.

I suggest that you make it a bit more user friendly and add a way of logging what happens inside the app when things are not working. Right now the app just flashes for me and then exit within a second. An app should never exit like this without informing the user about what is not working. Right there is not even a popup with error, just a crash.

It's also quite common to release a free version that one can test that things are working before purchasing.

I am now implementing "adding zones" functionality inside app, not in settings. It will help get rid of such problems.

Apple does not allow to create try versions. Only lite.

 

[johanj]

Yes, a free version with limited functionality that has the named lite...

In response,
Still not showing TV guide
Radio is showing all channels and not using " hide all channels" flag
If no fan art exists then sub screens show blank background rather than primary image

Due to the above and movies not caching it is not currently usable, however I do see the potential and can see it being really good in the future

hmm. Try to select channel. Will it show you guide for selected channel?

 

[PCSentianl]
