7illusions 1249 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Ill try to fix that asap. Give me an hour. I\ve done a lot of changes, but didn\t try to play anything, just syncing.. My bad.. sorry about that
7illusions 1249 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Sorry for that. New build is up. Logical error which I shouldn't have missed if I actually had tried playingsomething from the server instead of synced items.. Accidentally added a ! in my url check. if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) instead of if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url))
7illusions 1249 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Yet another build up, 186. Fixes some fileaccess issues that were introduced with the folder selection. Edited January 16, 2015 by 7illusions
Vicpa 611 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Hi 7 Play in 186... thumbs up, Thanks! I still can't find the sync button.. I tried to change the path for sync. Using default videos library, it let me then bad things happened. What security context does the app run under ? I noticed that "unknown user" is granted full control under the package folder. Maybe its a dev thing. Thought I would pass it on. Thanks again "Play Happy Here!!"
7illusions 1249 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Do you see the sync-buttons in the webclient? Edit: Also, multipart movies can't sync. Edited January 16, 2015 by 7illusions
Vicpa 611 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) yep Is there something I need to enable on the server? I would have thought there would be an "Allow sync to this device" somewhere but I can't seem to find it. thanks Edited January 16, 2015 by Vicpa
7illusions 1249 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Does the device show up as a sync target in the webclient? In that cas you could create a syncjob from there just to test..
7illusions 1249 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 New build is up. Sync progress is now a blue progressring which get's visible when syncing. Clicking it will show a flyout with some more info. (More to be added) 1
swhitmore 781 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Everything seems to be working well in this build. The progress bar is nice, and the sync folder is a great addition. Thank you! I may need to get a bigger SD card...
Luke 42077 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 can you do some subtitle testing with sync? thanks.
swhitmore 781 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Sorry, I just flew out again I didn't have much time this weekend to test sorry. I only had the 2 day off between my trips. I'll be back on Thursday night though.
Vicpa 611 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Hi With the last two dev server builds I am having trouble with some images, Thumbs (I think). Actors on the movie page and Music genres. See screen shots Music The images are visible in the web client. As well as drill down. Thanks!!
7illusions 1249 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 New build .189 is up. Support for synced subtitles Also started working on a sync-job management view. (Under user preferences) Currently it only displays data, can't do anything yet. 1
Luke 42077 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 In the next dev build the detection should be fixed so that it doesn't detect the device as xbox one. actually 7, it will use your reported device profile, so how it has dual purpose of being used for sync, and also to massage response headers in the event you need to do that.
gjviii 48 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I'm running server Version 3.0.5498.586 and client version 3.10.189. From the home screen, I click on new movies, then I click on the movie I want to sync. I then click on the 3 dots on the bottom right and click on the sync icon. My question is how do I know the sync has started or is happening? I do not see the blue progression bar that's in this picture. I checked the folder that I set to use for sync and its empty. Also, when I log onto the server, under the sync, I am able to see the movie under the activity tab, however I see no progress information. Thoughts? Thanks
Luke 42077 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 if the content requires transcoding then it will not execute right away. instead it uses the Sync Preparation scheduled task. Since this is not obvious, i will add a button to the sync activity page to manually kick it off. so the reason you're not seeing the download progress on the client is because the server hasn't indicated that it's ready for download yet.
gjviii 48 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks, I just got to a meeting and fired up my surface. I see the syncing happening now. I didn't understand that there would be transcoding, I was under the belief that it was just doing a direct copy from my server to my surface. i'll start playing the movie and then put it in airplane mode and see what happens.
Luke 42077 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 airplane mode won't work yet. we're still just testing connected sync. and it direct copies as much as possible, depending on device support.
gjviii 48 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 interesting, I started playing the movie, saw I was streaming it from the server (surface on corp wifi). Let it play for about 5 minutes. Swiped in on the surface and turned on airplane mode, as the movie was playing. Movie continued to play, no hiccups, I verified I was no longer connected to the server. continued playing that for about 5 minutes, swiped in and turned airplane mode off. Movie continued to play fine. I assumed it was playing locally, so I logged onto the server, checked and verified, it was still playing locally. I then stopped the movie, wanting to hit resume to see if it would play locally or from the server, and it appears to be playing from the server again. I did notice that whil it appears to have resumed, it seems that it played my trailers first again. More testing to come after my meeting finishes thanks
Luke 42077 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 maybe that was just buffered data. based on current code i would expect that situation to ultimately fail. the thing to test right now is, once a movie is synced to the device, does the local copy play instead of the streaming from the server. and also, are your subtitles fully supported. the full offline mode is something we're still working on.
swhitmore 781 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Would it be possible at some stage to have a background service that will allow the user to sync to the tablet without have to first open the app? I was thinking this would be nice for the auto add feature, where new episodes of a season will be synced automatically. It would be nice not to have have to manually go and open the app to allow the transfer. 1

I've attached logs to review to make sure everything is working correctly and possibly verify how long its actually taken to transcode. 8.1 log.txt server-63557418029.txt transcode-8c56dfe9-3c9d-4aa7-95de-1f7c1c6faa35.txt Edited January 21, 2015 by gvollero
Luke 42077 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 the conversion is done at the speed of the video, so it will take however long the video is, maybe slightly more.
