Your experiences with MyRemote v2.0 for iOS (iPhone/iPad).

And no TV-Guide, "service unavailable"

Same here - no TV guide which used to work w/o problems before that sh...y update.
@Philips: Any plans to fix that soon?

TIA

Hi Guys,

We're currently looking into the reported issues w.r.t v2.1.0 (EPG and SimplyShare), and hope to solve them soon.
Thanks for your very valuable feedback, it really helps us to improve things!
Of course our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Regards,
JuAn

So, there is since late yesterday evenig a new version of the Remote Control app for the iPad.... And indeed: it is now possible again to connect the iPad/app with the TV for the program guide function with this code sequence. The program guide is shown correct on my TV but on the iPad it is a mess! The screen layout is a disaster and it can not be used.

Philips: tell me that this is a server problem but not again that you have not tested the app......

Muccie, they dont have to test the app. We, the user, are the Beta Tester. Is cheaper for them, because they dont have the money for good personal. Thats the reason why they didnt able to program good software.

2 updates ago when the tv guide was still working it was ok on the ipad 2 and not ok on the new ipad

having some issues with the program guide, too. doesn't work on the new iPad, layout seems to be missing, only the 2 first program tips are shown, on iPad 1 everything is fine, at least almost, as switching channels doesn't work :-/

No Simply Share!!

Simply share is there! But with the same features as in release 2.0: no videos, only photos, not in the right dimension, and in the diashow everytime the message: next picture. So, I don't use this in the future.

And no TV-Guide, "service unavailable"

TV guide is there, but many stations have no information.

A new experience: after a shutdown and restart of my iPad my TV was found. After stopping the app and restart my TV wasn't found. After shutdown and restart the iPad and restart the app my TV was shown and after a minute was found and I could use the app. But this is very inconvenient.

Now the same with the new update: my TV isn't found. After shut down and restart of my iPad the TV is found. After shutdown the TV and restart after a while the iPad cannot find my TV. I must again restart the iPad and then the TV is found.
I am finished with this app of 1 GB!!!

I now have an "new iPad" (3): the program guide "module" "connects" with my 46PFL9705 but only shows in very large "print" the first 2 "channels", nothing more, you can not do anything with this. Nothing is "tapable". It is NOT possible to change channels: that worked before on my iPad 2. And still the SimplyShare simply does NOT share ANYTHING that is on the iPad "3": it searches and searches and searches and searches....What a disaster, again, from Philips. Why don't you guys give up on this disaster SimplyShare ? Who want's this (in this state !), why not adapt AirPlay: that works !

[ccrergie]

Same problem that Muccie have. Two pics and nothing available. Guys give up, you are not good enough to make a functional app.

Can't confirm the issues. The app works as before...

Good for you ! What type of TV and which generation of iPad are you using ?

I have a 46PFL9705 and a "new iPad", so the 3rd generation, all with the latest available firmwares.

It looks like the app does not like this iPad.....

Curious to your setup, especially if SimplyShare works and how "fast" it is in finding media, how much memory SimplyShare has taken away from your iPad and which media is not played (movies !).

Thank you !!


by the way: the app "before" did not work, hence the update from Philips, so you might be referring to the app still not working ?

As before ? That was a @&€?/6!?

My setup is a 40PFL9705k, a Pioneer VSX-921, an IPad 2 and minidlna running on a Linux box. Regarding TV and pad I use the latest FW. SimplyShare works quite well - I've tested some movies, JPG files and MP3.

Nope - MyRemote 2.0 worked quite well. 2.1.0 showed the TV guide problems and 2.1.1 fixed the TV Guide issues.
