This is likely a symptom of sporadic data issues, but I am not sure. My voice mail indicator and ActiveSync indicators are constantly showing up in the notification bar. Often the ActiveSync icon is incorrect (there is actually no mail) which is really annoying. The voice mail indicator leads to an error connecting to the voice mail server and/or a general data network issue.

Is anyone else seeing this? It's driving me crazy.

I am having random issues with my AOL eamil syncing it. Yesterday it would just hang for like 3 minutes then ask me to re-enter my password, which I knew was correct. Very strange stuff but I havent seen any voicemail issues

Hi, what is xda app doing when is in background, because it constantly using the cpu? If you use System Panel and look for it you will see that is doing something every couple of seconds.

Maybe someone with some hacking or programming skills will be able to tell why an app like Xda (witch doesn't refresh) when is in background is constantly draining the battery, in my opinion it should sleep like many other processes.

Thank you.

WOW! I've been using TeamViewer to do this until now! :D

Thank you very much! Gonna try it as soon as I get home and post the results!

____________________________

Didn't get around to posting last night, but here's a quick review:

- in the ~15 minutes I played around with it, it behaved really well! :)

- I only once got disconnected (but that was probably the network's fault), but soon afterwards it reconnected normally

- I really like all the options present (congrats for including all the normal stuff we do with our video players :) ), but if I may, I have a suggestion: when going from one interface to the other, the user has to slide a finger on the screen... if he/she isn't careful, then upon sliding, the volume will get turned down instead of the new screen appearing. Also, the user has no way of knowing that there are other screens present... so, I would make use of the tabs interface present everywhere in Android (this would also sort the sliding thing).

Even better, I would merge the first two interfaces, maybe keep the slider for seeking and use a "volume increase" (that triangular thing made of bars) graphic for the... volume part :), as well as make the play/pause a toggle rather than two buttons.

I hope this helps... thank you again for your work and once again: great stuff!
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
I agree with everything said above... ESPECIALLY how good this app is :)

I use BSPlayer for all Tv Shows and this comes in SO handy.

wonderful job!

I know I'm jumping way forward but it just occurred to me now that you could also use the same interface for different media players in the same app. all the user has to do is choose the media player he'd like to control and.. voila!

I'm willing to beta test of course.
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
Amazing! Thankyou! I alternate between BSPlayer and GOMPlayer, as I find GOMPlayer easier to control remotely, but this may cause me to switch :)

I particularly love how smooth browsing folders and files are (one point: I have a folder with 800 unsorted files in it, and this caused the server software to crash, which is no biggie really, considering the strain I put it under!)

I ditto the comments above, and will add that I did not find the second interface until I saw this post. Also, I cannot find out how to launch BSPlayer, and cannot launch files until I've opened BSPlayer (which means I can't dump the mouse just yet!).

Also, there's inconsistencies in how the Back button works, which means I sometimes end up exiting the app when actually I just want to go back to the first interface.

(also I do agree on merging the main interfaces, or finding additional functions to make two screens necessary).

But overall, and for a first release, THIS IS AMAZING!! THANKYOU :)
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
Thank you for all this feedback.

I will fix all bugs you noticed and redo design a little so it will be more user friendly and more obvious for new users.

New release coming soon =)
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
Can you describe a little more how you managed to crash server?

And does it happen always on that folder?
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
New version of application is available on market.
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
Hey, Few recommendations.

1. Increase the size of the playng title.

2. unify 2 of the screens - have the volume, seek bar, play, pause and stop on the same screen (it's just so much more intuitive) and keep the playlist on another.

3. add an option to control multiple hosts by searching the LAN for the server. there are many homes with more than one media playing computer.

4. add a feature to load the imdb page (mobile browser)/imdb page (imdb app) of the currently played (or in the playlist) movie/tv show.

I love this app.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
oh oh, also, if you could add an option to change the aspect ratio.. it would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
Thank you for recommendations.

1. will be done

2. Well basic idea for 2 separate screens was that most basic controls play/stop/pause and volume are separated from others just to make pressing buttons simple. So you don't mistakenly press something else.

3. In next version autodetect for server will be implemented and in case of multiple detected servers user can choose where to connect.

4. Do you know how to get full title of a movie out of a file name that is not always name of a movie?

5. Will be added in next release
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
getting the title should depend on the file name. if the user is accurate enough, his files would be named accordingly. there are usually general patterns to the name (e.g. moviename.year.release....)

moreover, you can let the user write the pattern in which his files are named..
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
Hi, I did send this as a private message, but I thought I'd put it in the thread too:

First of all, I love it, I'm interested to see if it will edge out GRemote as my remote of choice. I think it will...

Some more UI things:

1) I love the file browsing interface - it's so smooth and clear, very nice!

2) I feel like the interface is missing a "Browse" button, otherwise you have to touch a hardware button, which feels more effort.

3) I'd also consider having the App open on the browse page, at least when it's opened for the first time.

4) I like the "quick remote" idea of the first screen, but I still miss having a Volume Remote on the second screen (alongside the progress bar)

5) When scrolling between screens it's quite easy to knock the progress bar

6) Thanks for improving the "Back" button but it still feels easy at time to exit the app, compared to how other apps work.

I've written this in a hurry so may send some more tomorrow or soon!

But again, it's becoming v good!

Also, you (gapipro) asked how I crashed the app with 800 files - I can't tell you now as I can't replicate it - as you fixed it! - but just to clarify, I crashed the app and not the server :) - I think it just froze or I force-closed it after a minute or something.

Anyway, BSRemote is now my official media remote!!

Potential ideas:

1) Have a "skip 10 seconds back/front" button

2) Pause playback on incoming phone-call

3) Have a very simple widget or two (for, e.g. Play/Pause), so I can have a control button directly on my homescreen!

4) If possible, screengrab a preview of the video, to display in the App.

5) As stated above, launch the App with the Browse menu, and have Browse as a soft-button on the interface.

6) Either have a very simple update process for the server (the best one to my mind is the one inside uTorrent) - and possibly have the updated .apks within the server, which can be pushed to the phone automatically - or even do the exact opposite, where you download the updated App from the market, and contained within it is the PC update, which then gets pushed to the PC. (Either way, it makes this a one-step update process and I hereby copyright this idea under the name "Updat-Ed" :))

Much love!!

Edd
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
Thanks for another response :)

A lot of your ideas are very interesting and they will be implemented in next few releases.

Don't know if you have noticed but 10s front/back can be made by pressing + or - buttons under seek bar. And you can even change "length" of skip by pressing seek button (the clock like icon).

About that problem with switching panel. Do you swipe your finger to switch or you use that left and right hidden buttons?
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
New version 1.2.1 is available for download from market.

Change log (1.2.1):

- server autodetection

- support for aspect ratio

- buttons for next and previous item in playlist

- optimized usage of battery

- fixed few bugs and other stuff
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
Thanks for the newest update! Checking now... To answer your question, I'm swiping my finger, not the hidden buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
Another quick release 1.2.2 that fixes few bugs. =)

@smeddy: Yes swiping finger can be hard on 2nd panel thats why those buttons were made so you can switch panel without hitting anything. Or you can even use trackball if you have it.
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
New release 1.2.3 that fixed connection bug.
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
gapipro... was just wondering if the mentioned above is still taken under consideration

especially the multiple media players part.

Btw, I didn't really notice if the font of the playing title was increased..

Again, thank you so much for the wonderful work.
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
nir36: The best program to do what you want is GRemote. I'm a big fan of it, although BSRemote has now eclipsed it for my needs, and I've switched to using BSPlayer from other players such as GOMPlayer/VLC/WMP/XBMC etc. on my PC.
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
GRemote is too complicated and too graphical in my opinion. It's also not straightforward. You have many options which are just not necessary for me. bsremote is absolutely perfect when it comes to a media player remote... especially considering that BSPlayer is such a popular one.

thx tho.
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
@nir36: Yes there is a lot of work being done on support for multiple players. And all other things you suggested are still under consideration so don't worry.

With time great new things come to live =)
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
New release 1.2.4:

- playlist bugfix

- disconnect bugfix

- misc bugfixes
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
I am now using bsremote on two PC's, and one great feature would be profile switching. I can manually swap IP addresses, but new folder shares dont work. Still in love with it!
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
New version is released.

Change log (1.2.5):

- added control for aspect ratio

- added control for panning

- added option for keeping the display always on

- added option to switch between hosts

- fixed playlist bugs

- fixed connectivity crashes
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
Wonderful. I really really like the look of the new controls and the option to switch between hosts is blessed.

Btw, As I was suggestion a while ago, adding support for other players would be wonderful - that is - I'm willing to supply a serial for Splash HD (which is BY FAR the best HD player I know) if you're willing to start developing for it.
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
Yes we are developing for other players and soon there will be possible to control VLC and Winamp. So stay tuned for new updates. =)
[Android Apps and Games] apophysgod:
Hi,

BSRemote codeveloper here. I've looked at Splash HD. Indeed, image quality is better than bsplayer's, I think I'll give it a shot as well :D

With regard to remote controlling it, there are problems. It doesn't seem to have an API for external control, like bsplayer. I can send it commands like open file, volume up/down, but I can't read the current volume, get the current file or load subtitles. Same for seek position set/get. So it will be quite spartan, compared to what BSRemote does now for bsplayer.

I don't think those functions can be achieved easily.
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
New bug fix.

Change log (1.2.6):

- fixed subtitle loading
[Android Apps and Games] kevino:
Hi,

Thanks, it is very good.

A couple of requests.:

Support for embedded subtitles in a .mkv does not seem to be supported. It would be good to be able to turn subtitles off or switch between them.

It would be nice to be able to use a hostname in the ip address field.
[Android Apps and Games] apophysgod:
Glad you like it.

BSPlayer control API doesn't support controlling the .mkv subtitles, so we can't do that.

Hostname in the ip address field is possible, we;ll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
Just to say I still love the *pants* off this App :)

My favourite part is still the "Browse" feature - just flawless.
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
BETA

Ok so, after some time here comes next version of BSRemote.

This time it's a BETA version with completely new server side installation that supports auto updating and much more.

Complete list of changes together with download links can be found on our forum.

http://bsremote.conspro.ro/forum/topic/127-beta

Please if you have any problems report back to us.

The easiest way to do that is by using integrated feedback system in BSRemote (Menu -> About -> Send Feedback).

But if you don't like that you can simply post here or our forum.

@smeddy, thank you for all your support and dedication to us. Hope you'll be a fan of future versions as well and, of course, any idea is appreciated. =)
[Android Apps and Games] gapipro:
So new application 1.2.7 and server 1.2.2 have just been released and you can find them on market.

Application Change log (1.2.7):

- global volume up/down (main system volume control)

- unicode file name support (update BSPlayer to latest beta version)

- RAR file support

- bugfixes

Server Change log (1.2.2):

- new, configurable, install system

- autoupdater

- crash reporter

- network and removable drive support

- dropped separate 32/64 bit binaries

If you have any problems with application or server please visit our forum

Also now we are at the point where we will start including other players support. So we ask you which players should we support? (VLC, iTunes, Windows Media Player, ...)
[Android Apps and Games] apophysgod:
It's finally here :D
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
:) One thing I would love in the next update is the app remembering which folder you were last browsing, especially useful for when you're watching a series of shows.

I've lately found that the play button is not working (e.g. it own't pause the video) since upgrading to the latest BSPlayer. Might be some issue with my player tho.

If you were amazing people then I would love!:

- For there still to be a "Browse" button on the main interface.

- Ability to auto-click "Pause" on incoming phonecall.

- A widget, even if just a simple "Play/Pause" button, for pausing without opening the app.

As ever, I love this app, perhaps my favourite app on Android!

One last idea: If you stripped out all the BSPlayer stuff, you could create a second app which is a simple File Launcher for Windows, which I think would be popular on the market (e.g. you open the app, it opens on the "Browse" interface, and when a file is clicked, the server automatically launches the file in the appropriate default program).
[Android Apps and Games] nir36:
I would, at first, add support for VLC and Windows Media player since that's what most people use. I, myself, would like to use it with Splash HD.. but that's just me :)

so I have repligo a shot and it is literally about 20X faster than ezpdf reader.......ezpdf is RIDICULOUSLY slow...esp when loading all the thumbnails

The only thing I like ezpdf over repligo is the page turning animation

honeycomb is written or was written over gingerbread. it has recently come out that honeycomb was not written from scratch as claimed by google. it was not written to be a tablet specifc system. it was simply a few tweek on gingerbread with UI changes. for proof, there have been several post on the internet where people can simply change the lcd density, by lowering it it will change to gingerbread UI, so basically honeycomb will someday be on phones as honeycomb and not gingerbread. here is a link to pcword article. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2385710,00.asp, or search google for keywords "LCD Density Change Honeycomb to Gingerbread"

lol yea I saw that just a few days ago, either on the XDA blog or the androidcentral one, I forget which.

So are we assuming that when its running in HC mode that the Phone, TelephonyProvider, Mms, and VoiceDialer (etc. if more) services are disabled automatically?

They don't take up that much space, but still kind of waste if they aren't going to be used on whatever device the OS is being installed on. *shrugs*
