And that's what I call fast support. Smile

I didn't know this nocanon option.

Tryed but didn't work, apache doesn't start with it.

Quote:Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Invalid ProxyPass|ProxyPassMatch parameter. Parameter must be in the form 'key=value'.
Action 'configtest' failed.

My httpd.conf have this line:

Quote:ProxyPass /vfs http://localhost:8080/vfs/ [nocanon]

I've tryed with "nocanon" too, apache starts, but no behavior change on this problem.

This nocanon option is not really well documented, I will investigate further.

Thanks for the trick.

Anyway I can wait, this is only for when I use it outside my network. As it's totally useless, this is just to show my friends from outside how cool this app is Wink.

It will Smile

@hotlobster
Drop the [], i've put them there by mistake. So much for reading the documentation at 11 pm after ~5 beers Smile


- hotlobster - 2011-03-26

That's what I've tryed after, but no success. There's still the canonical url problem.

I'll try url rewriting on apache side. This is dirty but should work Smile


- hotlobster - 2011-03-27

I've foud a good trick. Smile
Just set at virtualhost level in apache:

Code:
AllowEncodedSlashes On


By default apache ignore %2F in a url and answer 404, if it's not inside a variable.
Found it here: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-3959

Cheers.

Im thinking of getting two apple tvs, and was wondering if this can be used to control apple tvs jailbroken xbmc?

That a networking problem, which are quite hard to debug over the distance.
Things to check:
- if you can open xbmcs webinterface in safari
- if windows firewall is blocking the xbmc port
- if switching the xbmc port helps

It can be, although it wont control the atvs menu outside of xbmc (technically imposible)

Hi

I'm considering using ipads for my HTPC control in a few areas. This app looks fantastic, but one question i want to ask is can you add custom buttons somewhere? I'm looking into using XBMC for some home automation stuff and would love to be able to control various things through custom commands mapped to buttons on the remote.

Thanks for you help

Just wanted to chip in and say this is a fantastic app. Love it.

Hi all

I've just been buying this app and it seems to be the greatest app to control XBMC
Unfortunately, I have troubles using it.
- when I launch a video, the I stop it and try to launch another video XBMC still launches the first video. BUT, if I reach the end of the video, then it launches the second one. It is just as it enqueues instead of playing the second video
- on the Remote screen, all buttons seems to be inactive, except "Fullscreen" and "Keyboard". So I cannot switch the subtitles language through this shortcut.

Thanks for the help and congratulations for your amazing app.

I can reproduce this.
Damn it Smile
Seems to be one of those famous last-minute bugs that made it into the update i released yesterday.
I've change the default play behavior to "enqueue + jump to". Apparently the "jump to" part doesn't work as expected (although i don't see why it shouldn't... might even be a xbmc bug)
I'll try to fix this asap.

Do gestures work?
If they don't, the app can't connect to xbmcs eventserver.
- check if "allow control by other systems" is activated in system->network
- check that port 9777 on the xbmc machine isn't blocked by a firewall

Came here to let you know about the bug with playing titles from my library. Hope you get the update out soon, great app though, this is my first ever bug with it.

After having a look at the ATV current issues page
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=91581
I noticed that the event server doesn't seem to be working properly (Seen "Control")
So switching to the event server broke atv support (at least as far as the remote control part is concerned).
I'll add an option to use the old http api instead of the event server. Will push the bugfix update to apple today.

Just updated to the latest ver of XBMC commander from the app store. Loving the new iphone support.

HOWEVER, none of the remote controls options work. Like the gestures etc. I can start a film from the movies section but have no control over them on the iphone or ipad.

Running XBMC live 10.1 on Acer Revo

Rolled back to previous version on iPad and all working again.

I've switched from http api (since it will be deprecated soon) to the event server (faster anyway) for remote control commands.
This requires "allow control by other systems" to be activated on XBMC in system->network.

...wait a second, didn't i write this two posts ago?
