Software to control Uniti inputs

Ian, Thanks for the feedback. I also get disconnects if I leave namote open - I usually just run / open it to change an input then close it. This is on a wired connection, so I agree that wifi is not the issue - perhaps the keep-alive protocol has changed on recent firmware? Coping with the drop-out elegantly and retrying the connection without user input has not been as simple as I hoped as I am also beefing up the debugging to try an figure out why the connection drops in the first place... but I am working on it.

I am not aware of any naim input control software for windows... but there are UPnP control points available, e.g. to choose tracks.

Hi, I have tested Namote with a 172XS. It works fine.

I've uploaded a new version of the windows installer to http://1drv.ms/1gyBXwL. This tries harder to maintain a connection to the device and also supports switching to a preset.

The android apk file is at http://1drv.ms/1dbqDMi and should be on the play store in the next couple of days.

Steve.

thanks for that. I cannot see option to switch to a preset. Do you mean a radio preset?

I do mean radio presets (should support fm / dab / internet, but I only use it for internet ones). There should be a drop-down list between the play controls and the inputs. If you don't have any presets, you can hide the presets using the preferences.

However... It looks like the windows installer upload didn't work and the old file is still on the end of that link:-( The about box should show as version 1.3.and the file should be ~20mb for the latest version. I've just tried to upload again and it looks better... please try again.

Steve.

hello Mr Beeka,

I've installed the last version of Namote but encounter problems :

- after a first installation with the last uploaded file, there was still the last version of namote working (1.2)

- I removed Namote completely, make a cold reboot of the computer and reinstall a second time, but the new Namote don't launch (message is : this application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows". Reinstalling the application may fix this problem)

- So I desinstalled/reinstalled 3 times but allways the same Pb and same error message ???

unfortunatelly I get exactly the same problem - application does not launch. I am running Windows 8.1.

:-(

I tried the installer on two windows 7 machines and the application worked fine... but I don't have a clean machine without the development environment on it and no beta testers to check for show-stoppers like this.

From JR's error message + google it looks like I may not have spotted all the new prerequisites for deployment. Could you try downloading platforms.zip and extracting it to the namote directory, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Namote on my machine. After extraction, the directory should look something like:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Namote\Namote.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Namote\Qt5Core.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Namote\platforms\qwindows.dll

Hopefully this will be the solution and I can make a new installer that includes this. In the meantime, I have uploaded v1.2 again for those that want to revert.

Steve.

Hello,

Just tested. After downloading 'platforms.zip' and extracting it as indicated Namote started to work! Radio presets are now available and application works well. Thanks a lot!

OK Steve,

I have downloaded platforms.zip and extract it to the namote directory, and its working well now, with the new window with radio preselections.

thank you for your work and for trouble shooting help.

Hi Steve

Thank you very much for this - it works really well and the radio presets are brilliant for my needs.

If anyone is still struggling with this I finally got this to work once I'd overcome my own stupidity - I'd been copying the platforms dll directly into the Namote directory whereas it needs the platforms directory as a subdirectory of Namote with the dll inside it.

Steve's directory tree does show this but I'd missed the platforms subdirectory bit and just saw the qwindows.dll as being in the same directory as Namote.exe

Cheers

Ian

I'm glad the dll is the fix. I will create a new installer that includes that... however I've got a busy weekend so I might not manage to do this before the beginning of next week. I'll get the google play listing updated then too (has anyone tried the manually installing the apk file).

Nice one Steve. Works fine for me on XP and Win 7.

hi,

I have installed Android version of the application. I did the manual install from the .apk file.  It works quite well. Presets are visible but the problem is that I cannot scroll them I can see 10 presets but when I try to scroll it just select the preset which I touch with my finger and the preset window dissapears. I can see that there is a scrolling bar on the right side but it is just impossible to 'grab' it.

Woj, I don't have as many presets as you, so had not noticed the scrolling problem. It is a 'feature' of using a cross-platform toolkit based on desktop 'widgets' on a mobile device... and needs smart design to overcome. In this case, the drop-down list feels like the wrong interface and I had a better idea just after getting this one to work - to add a presets "input" button that would display all the presets on another page. I'll try this out when I can... but I'll let the dust settle on this release first.

Steve.

New MSI added as http://1drv.ms/1gyBXwL and the play store updated with the apk that is at http://1drv.ms/1dbqDMi.
