Simplify Media Mobile for iPhone!?

[Jodiedicie]

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, checked my user name and password, etc, and I keep getting the same error

I would really love to try this!

@NetMage, thanks for the feedback! this is just the first version, and those are exactly the types of features we planning to add.

@Jodiedicie, sorry for the inconvenience. drop me an email at paul at simplifymedia and we will try to get you connected.

I get the same error "can not connect to server"

[Jodiedicie]

I sent Paul and email and he is looking into it for me to see what the problem is.

I get the same error "can not connect to server"

Are you tryin to connect through Edge or Wifi? My understanding is you can only use this app with a Wifi connection.

[chrisperro]

My connection is wifi,everything works in my computer,shows the files in itunes and the Symplify box.
But my iphone don't connect to the server,I try unistall and install but It does not ask for a name and password,just go to "connecting" and comes back "cannot connect to server.
Is there any way for the app to ask you again for password and name?

[Jodiedicie]

I am still working with Paul to try to resolve the issue. I just sent him my log so he can see why it is I can't connect on the iPhone. Simplify Media on my computer is working great, it's just the iPhone that won't connect.

[chrisperro]

thanks,I hope is resolve.
Be back in a couple of hours.

[Jodiedicie]

Ok, mine is working now. I worked with Paul over at Simplify (very nice people BTW!) and this is what you should do, delete this file

/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.simplifymedia.mobilemanager.plist

Then launch the app again and put your username and password in again. It should work.

Hmmm, okay I checked the option for iTunes playlist sharing.

But I don't see a playlist on the iPhone - only all my songs.

Have you playlists shown up now?

@NetMage, thanks for the feedback! this is just the first version, and those are exactly the types of features we planning to add.

Glad to see development/support on the forums. Really looking forward to the improvements

[chrisperro]

I delete the file and put my info again but still can't coonect to the server.
Im using the same wifi connection for my laptop and iphone,maybe is got something to do with the problem?


EDIT.........

GOT IT!!!!
just change my password and is working great!!
thank you to Paul and you guys.

Looks great, and I plan on installing it, but how do people post their libraries for you to load, and a suggestion for the future, make the all songs area sorted by letter...

[chrisperro]

Do i have to have ITUNES open to work? or just the Simplify Window?

[paul_simplifymedia]

@chrisperro, iTunes (and Winamp for the PC and, soon, rhythmbox and banshee on Linux) is only used for playback on that computer. Let’s say all of your music is on a media server, you don’t even need a player installed to enjoy from that computer on your iPhone. Just Simplify Media, which must be running.

@agl917, we agree. sort (and jump to a letter) would make All Songs more userful.

@NetMage, thanks!

@Jodie and chrisperro, thank you for helping us find a bug

For the curious, we neglect to trim trailing spaces after your screen name and password if you enter one by accident on the iPhone. When we send the information to our authentication server, the authentication server throws an error because of the space and the connection times out. If your credentials were just wrong, you would be prompted that your login failed, but in this case we don’t do that.

We’ll fix this quickly, but, for now, don’t enter a space after your user name If you get a can’t connect message over and over again, as Jodie suggests delete this file:

/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.simplifymedia.mobilemanager.plist

I think everyone is up and running now (including meagain). Lgreenberg still has a playlist problem, but it isn’t iPhone-related and hopefully we can track that down soon too. We’ll continue to read MMi, but if you have any trouble drop us an email to make sure we see it. Thanks again!

Loving It
Thanks
PS
takes a while to upload your music files in your PC.

Awesome, this is a great app! I am a musician, and am often at practice wanting to show a certain song and don't have it with me, although its on my home computer. SimplifyMedia has already come in handy - being able to whip out the iPhone and log on to my home computer and play a song. Good times. Thanks, Paul.

[listenclose]

will this play video?

[soulflow]

is this only feesable when you have a wifi connection?

[DaveiPhone]

Has anyone else tried this with a fairly large iTunes library (>25000 titles) and found it takes a very long time to build the index?

[paul_simplifymedia]

@listenclose, it is audio only (for now). But, it can play the mp3, aac, wma and apple lossless files on your PC or Mac. Shortly we'll have a linux version too.

@soulflow, wifi only (for now). We've designed it to work with EDGE as well, but there are still a number of bugs to work out.

@Dave, my home library is 10K songs, and we have users with collections as big as yours. It does take a while to build the song list the first time (and it is inconvenient that playlists aren't shown for a particular computer until this completes). However, after that, we store the list and processing updates is much faster.
