IOS Client Now in Beta

[davidb]

The port you need to open in the firewall is the \SageRemote\SageRemote.config with the line
key=""HostName" value="http://localhost:8686" so "8686" would be the one you would have to open.

I actually have 2 installs on separate sub nets with one 8686 and one 8786 so I must have copied wrong for the "doc". Thanks for pointing it out!

One of my installs is using java 7 _079 which "I think" is the lowest version supported by sage 9 and the other install is using Java 8 so you should be fine there.

On another note - I have java 8 installed and have it pointed to that version. Can I point to that java version? Or do i need to install 7 ?

I played around with this a bit more. One question - is there any reason why SageRemote has to be installed on the SageTV server itself? Doesn't it access information via Sagex which should be able to work without being on the same hardware as it uses a URL to get the media, guide and whatever other data it needs.

And the files themselves on my servers are all using network mappings - ie \\carnoustie\movies\ so what does that matter if they are local to the SageRemote machine or not, and they may not be anyhow as I am pretty sure that Sage lets you store your media files on external media.

In other words, why couldn't SageRemote on a Windows PC be the "host" for my unRAID SageTV server?

I actually started writing the code just that way! My development machine was a higher end machine than my server so I was developing and running SageRemoteHost on my machine and connecting to my Sagetv machine. About 70% of the way through development I installed a much higher end machine on my SageTV side. After that I moved the project to the SageTV machine and just use remote desktop to it. I haven't done any testing since then to confirm it still works. I plan on testing it on separate machines after the plugin and live tv support is added. I will make any changes needed to make it work and document how to set it up that way.

Yep, got the server side up and running using Java 8 and after I poked a hole in the firewall for 8686.


I see I just got the email for the App.


Thanks for making this another option to connect to Sage!

I can play all of my dvd rips but none of my Blu-ray rips show up. Are there any plans to support Blu-ray?

Any update on the iOS app? Hopefully you’re looking to release it to the App Store soon? If not, still looking for beta testers?

[davidb]

Yes I am still actively working on it.

That's great news. Let me know if you need a beta tester.

I can't help but wonder if similar a tvOS app for AppleTV may also be possible at some point.

Any updates on this?

[davidb]

Yes I am still working on releasing this. However it will be for windows and not support the docker that a lot of folks are using.

Sorry, I'm confused - I thought this was an iOS mini client you had developed?

It requires host software on the server.
