My Android App instantly crashes now :-) on Android 2.2 aswell as ICS 4.0.3.

btw. would it be possible to implement encoded download? If I want a movie encoded on my phone I need to encode it first... wait and then download it. It would be much more usefull to have a direct option to encode the download in one step.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Another desktop update (1.9.1) :)

I understand a problem but this is a quite complex problem and so is right now not possible. It's already on a TODO list but with a very low priority.

Can't seem to get it to work on my Windows 7 x64 pc and my Galaxy Note.

Tried everything, data and wifi.

Firewall on and off...

Every time i enter my server info, hit the add server button, it just says...use pin for remote access...nothing else. I type in a pin, hit the add server button, and says wrong pin or no network connection.

When i go back to main screen to hit refresh button, nothing happens. WIll not find networks.

Don't know what else to tell you, i guess it doesn't work with new samsung devices?
[Android Apps and Games] slowatsch:
What does the connectivity check say?

@zokipirlo

Other issues things I noticed recently:

- Sometimes when I give an encode order and then switch out of the app, nothing happens on the emit-server. No encoding happening at all.

-Also when the app crashes on the phone (which happens from time to time) the encodeing gets canceled.

-As mentioned above, when the emit app is long in background I get an app-crash.

-It's not possible to encode DVD Files (TS_ Folders) I'm able to stream them, but to get them into one file I have to use Handbrake.

Sorry for being so wordy. But I tried many "stream stuff to your phone/tablet" apps recently, and this one is feature/filetype support wise the most promising. :-)

I've been having troubles with my auto sync turning off by itself

I've just rebooted the phone, and double checked auto sync was on.

Loaded emit app. Auto sync gone off again.

Its been doing it all morning. I've been re enabling auto sync, then go back to watch something, and as soon as i come back out ~1 min later, its off again!

Why is this?

EDIT: if it's supposed to , to help with bandwidth etc, then at least turn it back on afterwards?
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
You can enter only local ip. For remote access you need to enter PIN. Check response on Check connection button in dektop app under Connectivity tab.

It should work with every device.

Thanks for that ;)

:( It should turn off while video is playing and it should turn back on when it's finished. Why is not turning on again I don't know. In the next version this won't happen again :)
[Android Apps and Games] lawrence750:
Brilliant, at least it's confirmed as to what it is! Was really confusing at first till I noticed the trend. Thanks for the quick response :)

If you need any info from me regarding phone etc etc let me know.. more than happy.

a problem

i want to enable web accessibility to my media but it keeps saying TCP Port NOT open. I'm on Windows 7 using Avira Premium Security Suite. I've tried manually enabling the required TCP and UDP ports and even disabled the firewall entirely, to no avail. Can you help me?
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
For start disable all firewalls (check also default windows firewall). Then go to router settings and forward required ports or enable upnp. After that you should get positive response. If you won't get successful response contact us at support@wpn.tv with response from http://<localhost or ip>:1554/diagn .

Don't forget to enable firewall again.

Hello,

Recently suffered a motherboard failure on my computer, replaced with new, with integrated wireless card/reloaded windows. Since then, I have not been able to get the emit app on my phone to detect the emit app on my computer, using wifi. What am I missing? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] NoLaw:
Hi, I am starting to have problems with my EMIT app. I have the ports properly forwarded, and the PC server software says that it is connected fine, but when I try and use EMIT from my Android tablet or from my computer it says the "server is inaccessible". When this happens, the area that says Web PIN on the server side software disappears. Sometimes, when I restart the program, the Web PIN reappears and then the server is once again accessible. What is causing this error? Thanks!

EDIT: I appear to have a second issue as well. I am running the latest version of the free app on a transformer prime. When I am able to access the server from my computer/android, I can see all the files and folders and play .mp4s, .avi, ..mkv, etc. all fine. However, I cannot figure out how to play something in DVD folder format. I can see the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders, but they appear empty. I have tried long pressing these folders (as well as the parent folder) but there are no additional options. This is a problem on both my transformer and using the computer streaming.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Bo:
Emit is a absolutly must have app, thanks for the fantastic app :)

But, i've made an upgrade on ICS 4.0.4 with my SGS2 and now, Emit does not work.

Musik stream is ok, but movie have no chance.....something went worng. Change from http to rtsp is no solution, internel firewall is off

Please help and find a solution for this fu**ing problem.

regards Oliver
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
What doesn't work exactly? Auto detect or you can't connect on server?

Are you using the latest Emit desktop app?

Please try with new beta version from #1 post.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
OK, after long time, we released a few desktop app updates and now also a mobile app update. It's still in beta because of major changes. If someone want to test it, please do and report problems here. Thanks.

What's new:

completly new music player

stream music in background

play whole folder

supported controls on ics lockscreen

video player changes

resize video

mark video as watched

much improved saving of last position in video

connection screen

add server, enter password, ... opens much faster (and friendly)

pull-to-refresh support to refresh folder content ... like in facebook app

settings

reorganized

in case of trouble with hls streaming, you can choose between hls, hls alternative or in worst case scenario rtsp protocol.

pictures

added option to watch pictures

google tv

ui changes for d-pad navigation

Edit: updated to 7.0.1

Auto detect
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Bo:
i can't connect on server

-edit-

no more problems with emit !

I installed the software again on my SGS2, not the beta,and it works ?!

But the beta have no connect on server and will not ask for the server password
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
I got it to connect via manual input of IP. So its working now. Is it supposes to autodetect?
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Probably some bug in new version, I will fix it.

It should work, but I still don't know why doesn't work on ICS.

Emit 7.0.3 released on Android and Amazon market. Changelog is here.
[Android Apps and Games] Bugblatter:
Hi; I'm running the Emit server on a fairly slow Windows box; it's dual core and 64 bit but not a powerful CPU by any means. It's basically an NAS system running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit.

Emit works but stutters a lot because the server can't transcode fast enough.

I'd like to try using the 64bit version of ffmpeg as that should be a fair bit more efficient for this type of processing; however replacing the 32bit version in your priv directory with the 64bit version doesn't work; the ffmpeg process doesn't even get started when I try to stream a video.

Is it possible to use the 64bit version?

Cheers.

AirPlay

Any plans for Emit to support AirPlay?
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
In iOS app is planned for version 4.1 (almost done).

In Android app it's not in plan for now. There are more important things. If I will found some stable library for AirPlay mirroring then I will think also about that.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Yes, it should work if ffmpeg is compiled with libx264 and libfaac
[Android Apps and Games] sotodefonk:
The new update with the aspect ratio button fixed my problem of all my videos being displayed as 4:3 videos.

On my atrix I need to select the RTSP streaming protocol, the HLS protocols keeps loading the video and never works.

Now the only remaining problem its the 20-30 seconds loop/freeze, it starts great for about 20-30 seconds but then its shows the first frames that started playing and then stops the audio still plays sometimes, and after another 30 seconds, it "updates" the frame displayed but never correct the playback. Maybe something buffer related?

If you need especific information about this, like a logcat or something, Im willing to provide all the info your need, just tell me if you need something.
[Android Apps and Games] mopurist:
Any chance that source for linux will be available?

Or that the ffmpeg encoding options will be moved to the config file?

The system I was hoping to serve from uses a newer ffmpeg (svn) version that does not recognize the default, hard-coded encoding options, and downgrading the system's ffmpeg is not an option. (directpred not recognized, -b seen as ambiguous, requiring -b:a or -b:v, etc)
[Android Apps and Games] Bugblatter:
Thanks zokipirlo. I've found versions with libx264 but I'm having a devil of a time finding one with libfaac, as it's apparently not considerd a free library.

Finding out how to compile my own version is further than I want to go given that I don't even know for sure that it will give me the extra performance I need. However if anyone has a link to a compiled version I'd be very grateful.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Is this problem on 3G? Sounds like bandwith problem. Try to lower bitrate and resolution to (almost) minimum. If that won't help post here again and we will try to find some solution :)

Download emit again http://cdn-t242.biokoda.com/emit1.9.tar.gz

in config file you can add

"ffmpegparam" : "your settings"

by default settings are

"-coder 0 -flags +loop -cmp -chroma -partitions +parti8x8+parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -me_method hex -subq 7 -me_range 16 -g 50 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -b_strategy 1 -qcomp 0.6 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 -bf 0 -refs 3 -directpred 1 -trellis 0 -flags2 +bpyramid+mixed_refs-wpred-dct8x8+fastpskip -wpredp 0"
[Android Apps and Games] sotodefonk:
No, I'm like 6 feet away from my router, and it does that loop. Also tested lowering the quality, to 320 resolution and 200 bitrate, and it does the same.

It actually does this: starts and exactly at 13 seconds, goes back to 0 and starts again and keep doing that in a loop. Every single video I tried do the same.

There are other people that has this problem, I remember seeing someone posting about this a few pages back. I had this problem since I bought the atrix. Never happened on my last phone, a Samsung vibrant.

I am having a problem installing Emit 1.9 on Ubuntu 11.10, when I type in "sudo ./install" if I just type in ./install I get a permission denied

I get an error "sudo: ./install: command not found"

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] mopurist:
try "sudo sh ./install" or make install executable (chmod +x install).

Mine didn't come with the executable bit set, so you either need to specify "sh" or make it executable first.
[Android Apps and Games] mopurist:
Thanks. That helps alot.

I also found that "volume" is configurable in emit.cfg as well. The default "-vol 256" resulted in nearly inaudible encodes on my files with ac3.

Is there any place that all of the emit.cfg options are documented?

(for anyone curious, encoding volume is set in emit.cfg with the line:

"volume" : "256",

256 is the default, and results in no change, 512 doubles the volume, etc)

Is there a way to specify the PIN # and password in the Config file?
[Android Apps and Games] gharris:
You can specify a password in the config file (see the README).

You can run 'emit pin' to get the pin once the server is running.

I ran emit pin in another terminal and got it, I was trying it in the original terminal but was not getting a response, my bad(I am new at Linux) THANKS!

I have an Emit server running on a pretty beastly machine. The server is streaming at 5000kbps flawlessly minus one issue. Amongst the users that are connected to my server I keep getting word that the stream is "crashing" and they have to reload and go back to where it left off. Roughly every 15-30 minutes. Any idea what is causing this and how to alleviate it?

Also, if someone is pulling at 5000kbps and the file is only 3500 or so, does my server push 3500 or 5000?

Lastly has there been any thought of adding verified access to the server? Essentially users have to request access to the server and they can gain/lose access at any point? Maybe even limit content/bandwidth? Would be pretty helpful for a lot of people I'm sure.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Powerbird101:
As far as the crashing I have been seeing that as well constantly along with looping issues. Bandwidth is not an issue as i can stream HD content on airvideo server with little to no issue but I cant control the bandwidth output of the server since there is no option for it at the moment. I would highly recommend making this an option as it can increase the efficiency of the servers handling abilities. I have been seeing these issues throughout the access from 4 different android devices on and off of 3g and even with WiFi. This is also pertinent towards the online viewing as it also loops on occasion. Another request would be having ASS subtitles and having subtitles available on the website. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Please send http://ip:1554/diagn output on support@wpn.tv. This is the only way that we can help you.

ASS format is much more complicated (than srt). I will try to make it as soon as possible. Emit v7 has a lot of changes so app stability is a primary objective for now.

So any idea as to why it would be crashing randomly? Not only that, changing config or shifting in the timeline opens a new ffmpeg.exe. Not sure why... I had 8 ffmpegs up at one point each with about 12-15% use.

maybe a little bit off-topic... but still related to the application...

is it possible that, using the desktop Emit server, the video is watched (wireless) on a TV via HTTP?
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
It is possible if TV supports that.

You need to specify correct url

http://ip:port/file/<percent encoded path>

For example:

http://localhost:1554/file/%2FUsers%2Fzoki%2FDownloads%2F%2FSample.mkv

Note that there could be problems if you have password enabled.

We are working on a new design. You can see that (if you want) on beta page. Don't forget to check new web player. Mobile apps will get that look soon.

multiple cores

First of all, thank you! Awesome, AWESOME work....

Love the crisp and clean interface...I was using Orb.com to stream out and not only was the interface really, really heavy, it didn't work on my Android devices

Emit runs on everything, and even over 3g!

I have a question...

I have a friend with and 8 core AMD processor (yeah, I know).

Is Emit capable of utilizing all of the cores?

Thanks...

Issues with web connection

Ok im having an issue with random web connection drops.. Pretty much the web accessibility sometimes drops and doesn't reconnect. It is odd because with upnp set AND the ports assigned im still having random lock outs. To solve this i have to quit the server and restart it then all of a sudden voila! Connection successful unfortunately after about 24 hours of use it does the same process again and shows that connection cannot

Can get emit pin in Ubuntu 12.04

Hi there.....I switched phone recentely, Therefore I had to get the emit pin on the computer that runs Ubuntu 12.04. Emit server 1.9. The command emit pin gives me nothing at all. It hangs but no pin shows up. Then I must press ctrl + c to be able to use the terminal window again. The server is running and all the necesary ports are open. From windows there is no problems at all.

But I don really wanna run windows just because of Emit even if itś a SUPER SOFTWARE!!!!!

It works through LAN and VPN....

I also saved the PIN in a text document. When Iḿ typing it into the phone emit app next step is to write in my choosen password and everything then seems to work. But not!!!
