Anyway, I am running EDEN beta 1 on my HTPC and using this app on an iPhone 4S and everything works flawlessly except for the massive stutter issue every time this app connects. The video stutters for about 15 seconds. I don't understand why this app does it and none of the other remote apps that I have tried don't. Is there a fix coming for this soon? I have tried turning off the notification that tells you constellation connected, but it made no difference whatsoever.
Also, for the people that are having problems with JSON RPC, this is how I fixed mine. I don't know if you are having the same issues, but I run SABnzbd and have HTTPS mode enabled which uses port 9090 as well. I have port 9090 forwarded in my router to my HTPC, but JSON also connects on port 9090. So every time JSON would try to connect SAB would come in and tell it go to hell, basically it was a conflict. I changed the port on SAB to something else and I got the green light in Constellation. So I guess what I'm trying to say is to make sure you have no ports conflicting and everything is port forwarded to where it should be.
I paid the 4.99 for the full version of this app and it is well worth it, but the stutter issue is driving me insane!
sorry for not replaying to your e-mail I don't think i got it...
The "massive stutter" problem is caused by XBMC not the app. Constellation is the only app witch can sync a library od 2k movies 3k tv episodes and 8K albums under 10s (of course this is hardware dependent ie on a ATV2 this will take 5 minuts )... to the point the problem only happens if you are not using hardware acceleration i.e. VDPAU... mysql also helps in this on a separate host. The json serialization takes to much CPU power and there comes the "massive stutter" efect ...
I.e. I don't have any of the problems at all im using:
2x ZBOX id11 as a frontend
1x Atom 1.6 dual core on my backend(sab + couch + ... + mysql)
1x E350 powered unraid server pro
I don't know whats the best way dealing with this... make the library sync slower or just give a option to not start it on app entry?
What kind of hardware are you using and on what os ?
