Uninstall question

Anyone know how to uninstall the server completely in linux/ubuntu????. I think must do a complete re-installation.

-----EDIT------

Now I have tried several things for hours in ubuntu 12.04 with emit server 1.9. I have the wrong pin code for webb access. I changed my password in /etc/emit.cfg to verify this. Through lan or vpn it works as it should. The webb pin I thought I saved for this type of matters seems to be an older pin code for a previous version of both emit server.

But I can get a new pin in the terminal when Iḿ typing emit pin. It gives me nothing att all.

Anyone with the same problem ????????
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Sorry, I don't know nothing regarding this :o

We are investigating this option. I wish this also :)

For now is Emit a video player, audio player and image viewer. We will think about that option. Thanks for an idea.

Regarding playback, try to switch to RTSP. If that won't help, send http://localhost:1554/diagn output on support@wpn.tv.

You must be running Emit in one terminal window when trying to get web pin in another terminal window. Check http://localhost:1554/diagn if you see anything "strange".

I love your app, but I was hoping you could fix issues with scrubbing. Currently when I try to skip forward or back, I get very inconsistent results. Sometimes the video ends up starting over from the beginning, but the time bar will still show that the video is in the middle.

Coming from iOS, I miss some of the features with AirVideo. They have a nice feature where you can drag down off of the time bar to refine the granularity of the scrubbing. They also have the ability to show additional bttons that will skip forward/back 30 seconds.

AVPlayer for iOS has a nice feature of letting you swipe the screen left/right to skip forward/back. You can also swipe up/down to play 2x or normal speed.

It would be nice to add these types of enhancements as well as an on screen way to adjust the volume. Sometimes it's more convenient to be able to change the volume with a slider without having to first touch a hardware volume button.
[Android Apps and Games] h3nk3:
hi again :-)

I have done as you said. First Iḿ running emit -s in one terminal window. Then in another terminal window I write emit pin and nothing shows up at all. As I said before It worked before in ubuntu 11.10 but since the new server install in ubuntu 12.04 no pin appears......veeeeery strange. Is it possible to do a full re-install???

return to server directory on android app?

Love the app, coming from iOS and AirVideo this is the closest thing to it. It works great for me but once I start a video, I cannot figure out how to return to the directory listing of my videos.

I have to go to home page and then close the app and reopen each time. I am using a HP Touchpad at the moment runing ics. I plan on moving to a Nexus 7 shortly. The back arrow softkey on ics does not return me to the menu either. Am I missing something?

I am hoping it is just a quirk of the app on the HP Touchpad and I will have better luck on the Nexus7. I really want this to be my go to app. it is nearly perfect replacement for AirVideo. I have tried others and found them severely lacking.

Also second the feature request for 30 second skip forward and Back.

Will be buying the full version for my Nexus as soon as it arrives.

So I just setup a Linux VM so that I could fix all the issues with PLEX and it's working great. I was wondering if anyone did any testing with EMIT on Windows vs Linux and noticed any differences?
[Android Apps and Games] h3nk3:
Weird!!!!!

It works on the online play with my pin code that I saved in my dropbox folder. But from my phone with the same pin it doesn't.

Somethings gotta be wrong with my linux server part??? It worked flawlessy and perfectly with my other phone.....but not with my new one!!!!!

Right now I just wish that I didn't pay for this :crying:

--Tried to show my shared folders from a friends computer today. Worked out of the box with my pin. But not from my phone???? Anyone????--
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
I will try to implement that in next ui update. Currently we have a lot of work to do. Rewriting downloader, implementing new ui designs, new web page and an online player, working on a cloud option, ...

You have to press back key multiple times. First press would hide controls, the next one would get you back in browser. I will fix that asap.

If it works on some phones, then must work on all. Try to uninstall and reinstall Emit app, or just clear data in application settings. Maybe you have dns problems? I will send you something on PM ;)

Again another broken software subtitles do not work at all on any video I tried with embedded subtitles.. DOES anyone know a working software that does? I want to stream video over 3G and 4G but it has to have subtitles and so far none I have tried works just like this one.
[Android Apps and Games] simkhovich:
i dont see the need for these apps

no offence but if you download es file explorer you can stream anything from your pc with any player on your android just go to the lan tab and get files from your pc to android just select the folder you wand right click property's share enable sharing and everything in that folder (movies doc's apk) is now on your android only down side it needs to be on your LAN
[Android Apps and Games] tj!2k7:
Good for you bro, but some of us have other wants/needs, such as the ability to stream our media across the internets.
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
@dev,

Would you please consider giving an option of which media player to use when playing video? For example I really enjoy the way the stock JB launcher interacts with the on screen buttons to make them disappear.

I just installed 1.10 desktop server today, from 1.9.1. Now it seems that some of my mkv files will get skippy and scrambly for the first 10-20 seconds before it stablizes. Other mkv files will continue to skip and stutter and it's absolutely unwatchable.

Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone have a copy of 1.9 that I can try so I can confirm that it's the desktop server causing the issue? I have three mobile devices all using Emit and all are exhibiting the same symptoms after 1.10 update.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
You can watch only pre-encoded and downloaded videos with default android video player. Tap on icon and you will see an option "Play with external player".
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Update (v1.10.1) is released. It should be fine now.
[Android Apps and Games] denimjunkie82:
Thanks, man! It is working much, much better. There is still some a little bit of stutter and skipping in the first 10-30 seconds, but it's tolerable and stabilizes. There's also much less of it if I turn the quality down.

Once stabilized, its very much watchable. But every 3 to 10 seconds, it will still jitter or stick for just a split second. It seems to happen regardless of quality. On my tablet, I was streaming at 1800 bitrate @ 1280 resolution just a few days ago and it was completely smooth. Starting yesterday (even using 1.9.1, before my 1.10 update) I started noticing the sticking. Even when I turn down the quality to the minimum setting, the sticking is still there.

My setup is:

dedicated server - i5 processor with 3GB ram running Win7, connected to Netgear wireless N router with Cat5e

devices - Nexus S, Nexus 7

Anyone experienced these jitters before? It doesn't seem to be quality related because it happens even when my bitrate is down to 50 and resolution down to 320.

Auto start function with 1.10???

Hi everyone!!!!

I can't get the server to auto start since the latest update in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64. Startup programs -------> with the command emit -s & did work with the older server. Anyone ?????
[Android Apps and Games] Yat_Fung:
Thx ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
Could you possibly have your player react to in screen navigation buttons similarly to the way JB hides them?

Also, after updating the app, multiple downloads at a time actually works now, however it duplicates name of the file and does not keep its extension (in this case .mp4) this is direct download, no encode, over WiFi that I am having this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Try like that:

Click on gear in top right corner

Select Startup application

Add:

Name: Emit

Command: /usr/local/bin/emit -s

Please try new (beta) version in first post (7.0.5). It's only free version for now.
[Android Apps and Games] HyBReDM:
Just setup the LINUX version of EMIT to see if it ran any better than the Windows version. I'm running into issues. Something isn't starting and I'm not too certain what. I've manually forwarded the required ports (1600:1606) and the server is visible to the net. However when trying to play a video it is giving me a "Sorry, that video cannot be played!" error. Server works fine on Windows, not on Linux. If I had to guess it's not utilizing the manual 1600 - 1606 ports I set in the config? Last thing it's stalling on is a UDP error so it's all I can think of.

Here's my emit -s printout.

Edit: Fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] phoenixs4r:
Certainly what I'm looking for, but very glitchy. Thanks for working in it.
[Android Apps and Games] Powerbird101:
Im having the same issue especially when on 3g/4g. The receiving program is in need of an auto resolution based on incoming bandwidth management. Also optimizing the server side for better transcoding would help as well.

My setup is a dedicated server - i7 processor with 12GB ram running windows 7, connected to a DD WRT 610n router with cat 6 and resolution down to 350

Hi,

i have a big problem with Emit and Jelly Bean on Cyanogenmod 10 :crying:

Have you any solution or a update please?

There is only black screen when i start emit, and then it will be crash
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Which version? Did you try 7.0.5.1 from first post?
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Bo:
yes, 7.0.5.1 have the same problem
[Android Apps and Games] HyBReDM:
So after quite a bit of studying and crash reports, I've come to the conclusion that EMIT is lacking a serious feature. Automatic reconnect. If the client disconnects from the stream even for a split second, Emit drops the connection and lets the client stream the remaining buffer in which it then leads to a crash. Ideally when the connection is lost EMIT should continue the transcode, but reconnect the client where it left off. This isn't happening and it's EMIT's most crippling error currently.
[Android Apps and Games] bullrees:
I struggled with the "emit tcp port not open" problem for a while. I changed the port used in the desktop application right after install thinking a random port may be more secure. It worked on local WIFI but not 3G/4G.No matter what ports I told the desktop ap to use and correctly forwarded in my router and allowed in windows firewall I would get the above error. For the heck of it I decided to try forwarding the original (standard) ports for EMIT (ports tcp 1554 and udp 2000-2006) and it worked great on local WIFI and 3G/4G.

The ap works just as described and is simple to use. This is actually the first ap that I have paid for. Great work but at least for me the desktop port selection needs some work.

I'm having issues with this new release. Previously encoded as well as encodes files after release, once downloaded to my phone, refuse to play. Also streaming of encodes files does not work either, while streaming of non encodes files works fine.

Edit: updated the desktop client and it appears to work. Get force closes now, again when attempting to download multiple files. After the first file successfully downloads, I get a force close, and the download progress bar is stuck in the notification tray until I manually force stop the program.

Why is there so many of these apps but ONLY one that appears to work with embedded subtitles? I found TvMobil works with embedded subtitles but than I also have to run Bubble uPNP for streaming to uPNP application. So I have to run 2 servers on my PC to accomplish the task but it works I can stream over 3G or 4G just fine. But why no one app that works this way? Really stupid and really useless when every app out there does the exact same thing streams with no embedded subtitle support.

This app is buggy.. subtitles have stopped working completely! Was working than stopped for no reason. Also pin server method NEVER works it can't connect to the server I had to add server and it will only use IP Address I can't use my dynamic host name.
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
What's that? :)

When you add server you have two options. Local is only for local access (same ethernet/wireless network) and PIN is only for external network. You shouldn't enter IP address if it's not local.

When you connect over PIN, desktop app should detect your new IP address and tell it to mobile app. If you have problems with that please send us email at support@wpn.tv.

Man, I was so excited for this app

I quickly bought it, but subs dont show at all, I watch alot of kawaii anime so I figure this would be perfect for it. But nope no subs, at all, it takes a while for the stream to get rolling but once it does, quality is pretty good. Once I realize subs werent showing, I quickly uninstalled this back to hell where it belongs and got my 4 bucks back, I ll consider pirating I mean BUYING IT! Yes BUYING IT!!!!!! again once, it exists beta stage, (lets all stop being hypocrites, you and I know you get the ad version and use adblocker ;) ) anyway, if subs were working, I buy it again

Good try though

OH GOD!! does not work on my GSII either! or my Asus transformer!! I was literally about to throw up for how bad it is! OH THE HUMANITY!!!

I recently installed a new server at home with Ubuntu server 12.04 64-bit (previous server ran ubuntu server 12.04 32-bit).

Now emit isn't working any more, all I get is the "Sorry, this video cannot be played right now!" message in the web player.

I can browse the shared folders on the android client but I can't play anything, all I get is "Buffering. Please wait...".

This was working fine on my previous server and the emit linux application is the same version. Everything installed the same, only difference is 64-bit.

When the android app says buffering I get theese on my server:

{{2012,9,6},{13,8,27}} | debug | emit | {1054,<0.136.0>} | hls refresh {"MOVIEFILE.mkv",

<0.110.0>} |

It looks like the server is streaming? :confused:

Hi zokipirlo

once again, thanks for creating this truly brilliant app. it has made it possible for me to watch anything, almost anywhere! I love it just the way it actually works, unlike basically all the other streaming apps.

I have realised an issue though, I'm not sure if it is specific to the HTC one x, or if it was introduced a few versions ago

basically: I'll be playing a video (most of my stuff is mkv 720p or 1080p. although some avis are in there), and i push home to pause the playback whilst responding to a text message or similar.

If i've loaded enough apps in the meantime, android will kill emit to clear memory. This is when the problem occurs.

If emit wasn't killed, it resumes perfectly no problems.

If android did kill emit, when I next go to load emit (either through recent apps or just by tapping the emit shortcut), it does goto the last screen/position in the video i was playing. This bit is brilliant, i can go back to it days later and resume the video (love it)

However, when it resumes, it seems to then ignore the quality settings i have in place - it noticeably ups the quality, its almost as if it thinks its running on the wifi as opposed to an external network, and its like it uses the wifi quality settings instead, until i push the back button (which at that point it presents with server list, as opposed to showing the most previous list of videos when android didn't kill it), if i browse back to the video, and play it again, the quality is back as it should be, but it also starts at the beginning of the video, instead of where i was last at.

Hopefully you understand what I mean - basically there's two issues, firstly that when killed, it ups the quality (and starts stuttering because the internet here can't handle it) and then when I try to play it again, it starts from beginning. (would also be useful if it could go to the last video played list as well when android kills instead of going to the server list again)

Hopefully you'll be able to fix these soon :)

Thanks again for your great work :D

EDIT: the other thing i forgot to mention, is that I don't think it used to do this in older versions.. if that helps at all

Oh and also, my theory is only a theory, might not be exactly that that's causing it, but it does happen every so often, tis weird!
[Android Apps and Games] zokipirlo:
Hi :) Tnx for your reply.

I will check that. Don't know why that happens, but it will be fixed ;)

When you are in "file browser" and I don't know anymore on which server you are I put user back on server list. It's the easiest and safest solution :) Yes, I know it's not user friendly, but will be fixed in future.

Bought the app yesterday, works great -- thanks to the devs!:good:

The only issue I'm facing is that I can't make the app go full screen on my Nexus 7 (ParanoidAndroid 2.14): in any mode there's always a thin black line at the screen bottom where the status bar usually is.

Please let me know if there's a way to play videos full screen like VLC player does?

Thanks!
