Air Video Server 2.4.5-beta7 released

The Windows version *is* 32bit.

Hi,

I just updated to beta 7 and now it can't show listings from mapped network drives, but if I share direct unc paths, it works fine.

I am running win7 64 bit. Let me know if there is any other information you need.

That's weird, Air Video doesn't know about mapped drives, all that is handled on operating system level.

Core Duo (and later Core 2 Duo) CPUs are 64bit capable. Again, this is not about the OS. It is about the CPU.

Actually, Core Duo is 32bit only.

Touche; thought there were some 4MB cache Core Duos. I shouldn't have let the frustration of seeing the same questions get the better of me.

Love this version however. It does a better job of playing WTV than many MS-only software transcoders do.

So far so good. Using Mac mini mid 2010 with 8gb RAM.

Althought I miss to be able to delete, move and change names for the media files within the iOS app, so I wouldn't need to use other app to organise the media library...
Also some audio is really quiet, problem from the main file, not the air video. "¿COuld be possible to add the option for normalise the audio or some audio boost for the online playing?

I've been having issues with beta 5-7 doing some weird things. Whats happening is the video will play for a random amount of time, then it will stop and display 'loading' on the iPad, then play again for a few minutes and eventually timeout completely. This behavior started randomly after weeks of flawless performance. I can't seem to pin it down to anything network related specifically. The server is a core 2 quad q8200 with 6gb of ddr3 memory, so I can't imagine its lacking power. The OS is Windows Server 2008 R2, so again I don't think there are any specific issues with that either. Anyway, the log file is here:

Pizoisoned, you are using Windows 2008 r2 and that one is known for using only one core from the encoder at the time being.
That could cause your buffering and the timeout (one core is not enought) issues.
This happens only with some codecs.
How many cores is been used when you do the live playing?
If you got one core at 100% you know what the problem is...

pizoisoned, the transcoding is fast enough. If there are buffering issues I'd suspect the network.

I've been noticing a certain level of audio distortion with beta 7 that wasn't present in earlier betas. The noise artifacts are most noticeable during quiet, near-silent moments of a video. Possibly a bug related to the updated ffmpeg build used in this beta?

(Server is running on a Core 2 Duo MBP, OS X 10.6.

We've changed the audio encoder but it seems to have problems with certain files.

Admin: any update on a *nix (the .java file) release?
Still hoping it'll solve the file-ordering issues.

Error #52: JAVA Programming issue. Getting this error when starting Air Video on a 64 bit Win 7 system. Have newest Bonjour service, This beta and also tried previous stable version. Installed current version of Java including 32 bit version. Still no worky. Any help appreciated, Thanks.

Hi,

did the java installation autoupdated or did you install the latest version from scratch?

This beta 7 came out in 11/09/2011. So in almost half a year, there still isn't a beta 8 that fixes the sound issues? has development stopped?

Development is not stopped at all, the major update we are working on is not going to be incremental though so it will take a while to deliver.
