Well done!

Cool, it doesn't have all the features that the iPhone version does but I'm working on it. Smile.

Also I've heard the Samsung Galaxy S is good too.

Firstly, thanks for all the great work you're doing!!
This is the missing part in my setup.
I currently use my iPhone (os 3.1.2) to control xbmc running on linux, got notify working great on my iphone and am trying to setup EG > xbmc.

Problem is, the python script isn't working. (At least I hope/think notify>EG is working fine...I see my events in the log [incoming call])
Now, I'm a complete n00b when it comes to python...But I keep getting these errors:

4:59:00 PM Traceback (most recent call last):
4:59:04 PM Python script "5", line 20, in <module>
4:59:04 PM if parts[1] == "CallAccept":
4:59:04 PM IndexError: list index out of range

I didn't want the SMS stuff in the script so I got rid of that but that shouldn't cause any problems.

Here's my host info and the event and parts bit...I don't have a password on my xbmc...would this cause a problem?

##XBMC Host Info##

host = "192.168.0.6:8080"
username = 'xbmc'
password = ''

#####

event = eg.event.suffix
parts = event.split(".")

Help Sad

Hi there !

I've just tried to install Notify Pro on my 3GS with iOS4, and it seems it's not working...

Installation is ok, respring, and message saying Notify Pro is not activated. So i get to the in-app settings, and click on the activate button. Here are the message boxes i get:
- checking status...
- activated, you'll need to respring
- checking status...

After respring, i still get the "not activated, please go to in-app settings..." message.
I've tried reboot and re-install, but they did not work either.
Hope i can help

Could you show me which script you are using?


- camsinny - 2010-07-18

I'm actually currently at work so I can't double check but I'm 99% sure it's this one: http://pastebin.com/m4c0ef5ae

only I've deleted the SMS stuff down the bottom, haven't change anything above that apart from my host and username.

I believe the script is using some older stuff i.e) values are split by "::" not instead of ".' , I've updated it so give it a try now. I was not able to test it though.


problems and request. - scandalic - 2010-07-22

hi, just bought your grate app, but have some problems.
first only mail, call and sms works on iOS4 push doesn't notify me.
second i use biteSMS and when i use that as default sms app, i don't get any notify from sms, this would be great if you could fix.
then i have a wish, can you please make so i can send to any webpage like a post or get so i can get all the info to a .php or .asp page and process the info the way i like. i tried to set the settings for event-ghost to an .asp page but it wouldn't work.

big thanks in advance.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, iOS 4 is not tested and therefore not supported. It's strange that mail, call, sms work, and Push doesn't...I've heard that nothing works.


As to your second request, I'm not entirely sure what you need me to do? Do you could clarify? I do a when EventGhost is specified I do an HTTP Get, on the specified IP & Port

http://ip:port/empty?DeviceName::TypeOfNotification::NameOfPerson::NotficationBody

Not sure if that's what your looking for.


- scandalic - 2010-07-23

thanks thats what Im looking for, but not exactly. The problem is that it uses IP-adresse and not domain name, because Im behind a firewall that forward the request on domain name, so http://scandalic.nu/empty/?testar=nisse works but http://81.236.138.45/empty?test=nisse doesn't work. your program takes the domain-name but translate it to an IP before sending the Get request. It would also be nice to be able to request a cretin page ie. http://scandalic.nu/request.asp?testar=nisse.
All but Push messages work fine on my 3Gs iOS4 jailbrake, are you planning on upgrading for better support on iOS4?

When jailbreak comes out, I'll do my best.

I'm not sure how I can prevent it from resolving the domain to an ip, I use the NSURL class to do http get's which is an Apple Provided class.

I just tested on my 3GS and it is working partially, well, at least no crashes so far.
The Incoming Call, Mail and SMS seems to be working just fine. How ever they are taking for ever to show up, like 5-10 seconds!
The Push doesn't seem to be working at all.

Now that wifi is always connected this is gonna be sweet!
Also, I know it has already been requested, but it would be amazing if you could add it into the settings.app!

Yup, it has exactly 10 seconds delay(it might be a problem with the Force wait for wifi, mine is set to OFF), I need to go eat, once I am back I will send u a syslog.

Yes the force wait for wifi is a 10 second delay, thanks send me the long when you can. It should confirm.

Okey... I might be doing something wrong, I went to cydia and installed syslog, then I called myself and then I went to /private/var/log but i couldn't find the syslog folder (:
