Great app! Easy to use, and the ability to fetch and auto-fill DVD info/artwork is great.
The companion iPhone app works well too. I only wish there were a way to sync the two without having to go through iTunes. Maybe through mobileme/icloud?
To this day though I still can't get over the wet-garbage-bag looking icon.
This is pretty nice work. Especially considering its free.
For those having trouble getting it to see their PS3 on the network, one thing you may need to do is go under "General Configuration" and in the "Force IP of the server" field, put in the network IP of your mac running the software. For example 192.168.1.2
After that click save and then restart the server. You may also have to choose one of the network interfaces from the "Force networking on interface" dropdown.
I've never had problems connecting as long as I have those 2 options set.
Streaming over wifi is beautiful. 3G streaming is watchable (about youtube quality), but frequently stops to buffer which can get annoying.
Ability to search is nice. Something they neglected on Netflix for Wii.
A major setback is when I have to scroll through my instant queue. Its slow, and only loads about 10 movies at a time before I have to click "show more". If I have a lot of movies queued up, and need to get to the bottom, or even the middle, this process painfully repeats until I get to what I want. "There's got to be a better way!"
Also, the bluetooth audio is not synchronized at all, which means wireless headsets are useless.
I think its a really good start, but those last 2 issues really stick out.
When it works, it works pretty well.
It works fairly well with my MX-Revolution mouse.
I also have a diNovo Edge keyboard which, while is recognized in the pref pane, has zero customization options for some reason. I reported this problem to Logitech, (through their online email form since they don't provide a direct email address), 3 times in fact and never got a response.
I use this almost daily with digital photo rolls. The speed is excellent, and the ability to instantly see what the resulting change will be as you type is very useful.
Like I said I use this almost daily, which is why I wish the settings I set under options would be saved in the preferences. Its a little bothersome to have to constantly redo my settings each time I launch the application.
Having the last used replace method selected by default would be an awesome addition as well.
This tool is very quick and has good customizations, except for one big issue I'm having with it that still forces me to use photoshop: when converting from a grayscale tiff to gif, the resulting image is overlaid with alternating black and white pixels, (like how old B&W paint programs would simulate grey), making the image unusable.
It would also be nice to have a "save in location..." setting for each droplet.
I'm having the opposite problem. My remote now ONLY works in Boxee.
I think its this "boxeeservice" application thats running in the background that seems to be completely blocking normal use of my apple remote.
Annoyingly, even after quitting the app through Activity Monitor, within seconds the app reopens itself.
I gotta say I'm having a very tough time trying to run this server on a mac while trying to connect to it from another on the same lan.
I've tried changing several of the 127.0.0.1 addresses to 192.168.1.2 (the mac running the server), but every time I try to log into the world, it hangs.
Thanks Jimster.
I changed that one and another realm login ip and was able to get it to work.
I successfully made a blood elf character and could play the game normally, but when I made an undead character and tried to play, the game would lock up when trying to enter the world. I went into the sql database and changed the undead character's start position to the same as the blood elf's and then it logged in fine.
But I guess thats something wrong with the sql database preset.
Is there any way to not use MAMP and use the built-in Apache server with MySQL instead?
I already have my system set up and its a pain to have to turn that all off just to use MAMP.
In previous versions I used to be able to drop a cbr file right onto a playlist and it would import it and then add that to that playlist.
Sometimes the files I'm dragging over have already been imported, but it would still be nice to be able to manually drop the files into the playlist, as I have my comics sorted by story on DVDs, and it would be infinitely easier to just drop that folder in there.
Really like this but one thing has been bothering me.
And that one thing is that no matter what you set in the preferences, PandoraBoy always changes the volume when you use the mac remote.
This is really annoying because when I push volume up or down, both the system volume AND PandoraBoy's volume change, usually making it either way too loud or dead quiet.
Crashes when double-clicking to launch, (which, by the way is extremely difficult to do because the icon must not have a proper mask layer making it transparent to clicks. The only way to open it it by clicking on the name)
Here is what my crash reporter says:
Link (dyld) error:
Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/ScriptingBridge.framework/Versions/A/ScriptingBridge
Referenced from: /Volumes/Tone-Foo v1.1/Tone-Foo.app/Contents/MacOS/Tone-Foo
Reason: image not found
I should note that the icon clicks fine off of the dmg file but when copying to the desktop it gets the clicking issue.
I should note that that was tested on a G5 mac in 10.4.9.
It actually ran fine when I tried on my intel machine with 10.5.5.

But shouldn't you guys drop the PPC platform? If this requires 10.6+ its gonna be Intel only isn't it?
