- jc74 - 2011-09-15 Archigos Wrote:I'm curious about a few things which might help with figuring out your problem. Thanks for getting back to me. - I'm running XBMC 10.1. - The error I was getting was an error showing up on the TV screen (not Constellation App), it seems to be when the movie scraping isn't working properly (connection drop on my ADSL). Anyway, thanks for clearing up, regarding the gesture zone. It was where I suspected it was and it seems it's merely me not knowing how to use it! I have given it a renewed play around with and I think the problem must have been that I was being too quick (or small) with my swipes. I can now confirm that I can move up, down, left, right by using a single, slow swipe in the appropriate direction, and that I can click by pressing in the centre of the area (works best after a swipe). I do however think an improvement woul be the option to have clickable d-pad style buttons for direction. I'm very impressed with the effort you have made. In the interest of supporting individual developers on good products, I have just bought the full iPhone/ipad version. Keep up the good work! - Ebatte - 2011-09-16 Ebatte Wrote:I can't seem to get the app to work on my iPad or iPhone. I get a green light for the connection in constellation and within about ten seconds the app crashes. It never displays a list of movies or anything else. So no suggestions? No one else has similar issues? I would love to get this working. - Archigos - 2011-09-16 Ebatte Wrote:So no suggestions? No one else has similar issues? I would love to get this working. Since there are many possible causes and so many different types of home networks it's not always a simple 'do this' or 'do that' type of thing. You said you're running 10.1 on Win7, so I wondered if you can confirm a few things (these are basic things sometimes overlooked) From XBMC
My suggestion would to be fully remove the app from your iDevice and reboot the device (just in case). After reboot resync the app to the device, open it, but do NOT yet set up your connection. Instead, under the "Config" menu (the 'gear') do the options to clear the local data... this is to remove any leftover traces that were on the device. Now, try to setup your connection like normal and once you tell it to connect, don't touch the device for a few minutes (it 'may' appear to crash again, if it does, just restart it). Pending on the size of your library it may take awhile, but just let it go. If all goes well, it should stop acting sporadic and leave you at the 'start' screen in Constellation. I'd say leave it on that screen for at least a few minutes (first time) just to let it do it's thing. --- @jc74: Quote:I'm very impressed with the effort you have made.

As previously stated, I'm not associated with the developers past the fact that I beta test for them. They've created such a wonderfully useful application that I'm proud to offer support for it as well. Either way, I'm sure they appreciate the kind words and support of your purchase. - m0v1em4n - 2011-09-16 Quote: Either way, I'm sure they appreciate the kind words and support of your purchase. I did support them with my purchase, but it would seem that without you answering our question, there would be not technical support, where as the support gone? There seem to be a few people having trouble with the nightly builds, me included, I have posted on here and sent e-mail to no avail, They state on Itunes that v11 is " Fully supported" but this is not true because if you go above a certain build thing stop working, perhaps they should state this on Itunes. come on FSS guys what happening, perhaps its time to fix to a particular nightly build and tell us all not to go above that. Rant over Yes this is a very nice program, but would be nicer if things worked as they should Just so you know what my problems are Quote:Hi Guys, FSS_Dawid Wrote:We know about the broken nightly build support. We will support new JSON when XBMC Dev Team stops changing namespaces (so often) - otherwise it's continous development on and on... Whilst we understand that the nightly builds are move, What version can we use, that you have test as working, seem that 3rd September and above are effected, how far back should be go Thanks - m0v1em4n - 2011-09-16 Hi Guys, Ok for anyone that is interested I have solved most of my above problems by going back to nightly build 24/8/11. Download it here http://www.filesonic.com/file/2006277031/XBMCSetup-20110824-2182753-master.exe hope it works for you - Archigos - 2011-09-16 m0v1em4n Wrote:I did support them with my purchase, but it would seem that without you answering our question, there would be not technical support, where as the support gone?Granted I can't say for sure since I don't know Dawid and the others, but it was mentioned at least once prior that they are a small group and they are/were currently working on at least three different applications at the same time. It wasn't stated if all of these were XBMC related, but either way, sometimes priorities may conflict with an end users perception. I can't think of a good way to word what I'm thinking, but essentially Constellation is a free application that they are spending a lot of their time on. Yes there's a pro version, but when you boil it down, it's the equivalent of a donation button.

The Nightlies are beta versions and Team XBMC are making constant changes, it's not feasible that any third party app will be "Fully Supported" throughout the entire process of Eden. Quote:come on FSS guys what happening, perhaps its time to fix to a particular nightly build and tell us all not to go above that.From what I've been reading, the latest nightly that hasn't had any problems was PRIOR to the Sept. 5 Nightly... For reference, I just checked and I'm currently running the Aug. 29 build with no issues. Quote:Just so you know what my problems are:As stated above, I'm using the Aug. 29 build of XBMC and I'm using the 1.4.2 version of Constellation on both an iPhone 4 32GB (4.2.6) and a 1st Gen iPad 64GB Wifi (4.3.3). For problem 1, I can't reproduce your exact issue since my library shows up fine when sorted by "Label", however, I did notice that if I sort by anything OTHER than "Label" that it displays ALL movies (flattens sets) where "Label" shows the sets correctly. Suggestions:
Problem 3: Again, has to be related to Problem 1. As far as 'downgrading' the Nightly builds... I'm not sure if it works, by the sounds they have made changes to JSON and other areas recently, but not to the database structure itself, so backup your entire userdata folder to another location, downgrade and try it... if you lose your library, reinstall the nightly you were on and after upgrade restore your userdata folder. - Ebatte - 2011-09-16 @Archigos, Yes xbmc is running and xbmc gives notification that constellation has connected. Yes libraries are setup properly and working in xbmc. Firewall in use is windows 7 firewall. I'll try the app reinstall/reconfigure this evening and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the advice. - Ebatte - 2011-09-17 @Archigos, I reinstalled per your instructions and Constellation now connects properly and quickly, and I can see all libraries. It is still crashing way more than it should, but at least it's working intermittently. Thanks for the advice. - Archigos - 2011-09-17 Ebatte Wrote:@Archigos, I reinstalled per your instructions and Constellation now connects properly and quickly, and I can see all libraries.

This probably doesn't have anything to do with it, but I find when apps crash more than they should to do an actual reboot on the device. Is your iDevice jailbroken by chance? Some Cydia apps tend to screw with apps like Constellation... (Backgrounder for instance) - Ebatte - 2011-09-17 Archigos Wrote:This probably doesn't have anything to do with it, but I find when apps crash more than they should to do an actual reboot on the device. Is your iDevice jailbroken by chance? Some Cydia apps tend to screw with apps like Constellation... (Backgrounder for instance) No, not jail broken. Of course I just rebooted before trying to use constellation again. The iPad app seems to be more stable now than on the iPhone. Another thing I noticed was that the iPhone app allows use of plugins, while I don't see that option on the iPad. Can I use plugins on the iPad app and I just overlooked it? - Burbulence - 2011-09-17 Ebatte Wrote:Another thing I noticed was that the iPhone app allows use of plugins, while I don't see that option on the iPad. Can I use plugins on the iPad app and I just overlooked it? plugins are accessible on the iPad app via the jigsaw piece icon next to the keypad icon on the controls (remote) menu... That is if you have the updated version of the app on your iPad! If I remember rightly it was included in the last update to 1.4.2 - jakjak - 2011-09-18 Are there plans to support non-standard (meaning non-english) characters? (sorry for my bad english) - Archigos - 2011-09-18 Ebatte Wrote:Another thing I noticed was that the iPhone app allows use of plugins, while I don't see that option on the iPad.

That is if you have the updated version of the app on your iPad! I'm doing maintenance on my server, so XBMC isn't running right now, but when you pull down the Remote on the iPad version, you'll see the jigsaw image like Burbulence said. The plug ins work a bit different on the iPad than on the iPhone so if you still need a little help on that, I can write up something about the features on both later when I finish upgrading the stuff on my server. - Archigos - 2011-09-18 jakjak Wrote:Are there plans to support non-standard (meaning non-english) characters? Last time I checked they were trying to support it, but I'm not sure how far they've gotten with it or which version it will be available in. Are their specific characters giving you trouble? I don't have too many foreign films so I just changed them to remove the accent. (ex. ë to e) - Blaxxor - 2011-09-18 Is there a way to be able to browse my library, and then play av movie when XBMC is not started om my PC yet ? Would like a feature where you can browse a movie, then when you press play then XBMC will startup and play the movie i choosed om my ipad //Stellan |
