Pure Web Remote Control or Listening Audio with switched off TV

[pompon]

PWRC can hardly be the genuine reason. Actually after PWRC starts playing it can’t affect playing, the player just plays on its own. If the player stops (hangs) for a reason, it can’t probably accept any command at all (including native remote’s ones), it is hanging.
I’m nearly sure any native Play invocation (without PWRC) on the same files set will cause the same result.
I would suggest testing on a different FLAC’s set.
I found once long file/path names makes the player behavior unpredictable (A110 and C200 at least). The problem was primitive enough (btw the popcorn support was unable to fix, it’s rather syabas related). So if the fullpath+filename length exceeds 256 bytes, the player can stop, hang, accidentally jump to play another file, etc etc…..
The filesystem looks allowing 4096 bytes for full file pathnames, but the player has it’s own limitations without an attempt to control the exceptions.

When I play the same folder form the IR remote it is OK - all songs from the same folder with flac files are played. Popcorn do not really hung in the situation I described - it just do not respond on PWRC commands from my mobile. When the playback started from PWRC stop randomly - I can switch TV on and there is white screen with text 'press return'. Wneh I press return I can then go to the folder with IR and start playback.

Well, there is a need to reproduce probably.
Is it FLAC type dependent? (the same happens with MP3?)
Is it specific FLAC set dependent? (the same happens on a different FLACs set?)
Is it mobile dependent? (the same happens while controlling from a desktop PC?)

Anyway I would need something to catch at.
I could try to reproduce on A100 and C200 only.

What I know for sure (trust me I know how PWRC works ;-) ) is:
PWRC, after the Play command is invoked, does not control/monotor anything. It just launches the native player and nothing more. So if the player stops, it stops of a non direct PWRC reason. What the reason is – still the question
The white screen on the TV is just a PWRC generated page to be able to return to the native remote control.

What’s new:

-C200 compatibility (the latest C200 firmware)
-Unicode (UTF-8) support (non-english file/folder names compatibility)
-Problem with file/folder names with apostrophe/quote/comma inside
-Skin support
PWRC 1.5 picks up pwrc.js and pwrc.css located in
/mnt/syb8634/web (A110) or /nmt/apps/web/ (C200). The files located in the setup directory will be copied in the appropriate location automatically by the setup.

great work! It now works perfect on my A100...

Any plan make it installable via CSI?

Hi,

one question.

i tried to delete/overwrite "pwrc.css" from the location /nmt/apps/web/...
But i have no permission to access this File oder Folder
I used the FileManager from NMT Community Software Installer

Do anyone have a solution?

Thank for your answer!

You would have to overwrite the css in the setup (unzipped) package and reinstall on-the-top. The /nmt/apps/web's .css requires root rights to be overwritten; the setup takes care about that.

Hi, when I try to install it and click the pwrc-install.html file, I get "Can not process your request" message on any of the installation location selection option. miHome is running. Why is it doing it?
Cheers,

Please disregard my previous message. I found the solution in earlier postings - copied to local HDD and installed from there and it works now.

checklist;

- are all files in the root of your USB ?

- do you pinpoint the right device (the usb port)

- usb stick formatted to use with pch

Yes

It can read the installation script. I get the message when I select any of the installation target location options. It all worked for me when I copied all files from the USB to the root of the HDD and selected the HDD as the installation target. Then deleted the files and voila, I can open the browser and play files now. I found this solution trawling thru this thread.

I still wonder why it wouldn't work from the USB though.

Excellent app! It would be great if it had those play options and "add folder to current playlist" also,

thanks and great job!

Hi,

is it possible to add a doctype to the HTML?
This is needed for making a CSS skin.
And add DIV elements (with css) between each big element? i.e.
- navigation
- buttons
- list
- bottom

Cheers, Raimond

P.S. Great job, the only remote that actually works

using: eGreat 32A

Hi,
PWRC does not work after the installation of the new fimware of pop c-200 [Firmware 03-04-130115-21-POP-408 (03-04-111220-21-POP-408) (21.01.2013)].

I tried to reinstall the latest version PWRC (06-2012) but no, I can't install it. Do you have any solution?

thank you

Doesn't work or can't be installed?
The details are required. What you did step-by-step and what you saw....
Please realize it's hard to detect the problem basing on a "doesn't work" report.

Still need it? Unfortunately, just noticed the post.

Hi Pompon,
thank you for your fast reply.
I had an old firmware version (2 versions ago) and PWRC work.
After updating the firmware to the latest version of the January 21, 2013, link PWRC has not been reached.
I tried to reinstall PWRC but without success:
I copied the entire contents of PWRC (all files) on the main root of my thumb drive.
I tried to put it on all four USB ports (two front and two rear).
I launched the file "PWRC-install.html" but all I get is always the page of the POP-CORN inviting me to press return and tells me that it is not possible to install the program.

PWRC is installed onto the internal flash. So, after upgrade PWRC appears de-installed. The entire flash is just rewritten.

> get is always the page of the POP-CORN inviting me to press return and tells me that it is not possible to install the program.

Could you provide the strict text?
Probably you have missed an important (for me) step.
The problem is PWRC-install.html is a straightforward html file with the installation source menu. Until an installation source is chosen, there will be no real PWRC installation attempts.
On the other hand if the (static) installation source menu is not shown, the problem is beyond PWRC. It's the ability or inability to render HTML files.

Also, in order to install, MyiHome server must be running on NMT

Ok,
this evening I try again and I will be more precise.

thanks
