Need some dedicated testers.

Guys, do you know how to use logcat? Try to get some logcat dumps for Langston to see!

Enable developer tools on your tablet in Settings, connect the tablet to your nearest computer, install the Android SDK, and run platform-tools/adb logcat

This will spit out all the internal foobage going on that you don't see on your tablet screen.

The app I use is "catlog" (free version!). Also has a record feature which is quite handy.

Cheers,

Now why would I do that when I can send cryptic messages with little to no value?  Pfft you act like have done this before or something.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, but there are at least 2 different svn repositories in play here... 

I updated the configuration process
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Android_Orbiter#Configuration

this page states:

svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-1004/src/qOrbiter/qOrbiter_src/qml /var/www/lmce-admin/skins && chmod -R 777 /var/www/lmce-admin/skins/android

while http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/QOrbiter_Setup says:

svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/trunk/src/qOrbiter/qOrbiter_src/qml/android/ /var/www/lmce-admin/skins/

only the latter URL has the ../android/qt5 directory that the QT5 version I am testing is looking for... 

or is this only me?

after running

Code: [Select]

svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/trunk/src/qOrbiter/qOrbiter_src/qml/android/ /var/www/lmce-admin/skins/
I can now get qorbiter to connect and I have menu options (lights,media,climate).  there are no graphics however.

Nightly build QT5 version on Jelly Bean phone.

I updated the skins folder with this:

Code: [Select]

svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/trunk/src/qOrbiter/qOrbiter_src/qml/android/ /var/www/lmce-admin/skins/
App didn't shut straight down as before, now I get "Connecting to 192.168.80.1, please be patient" with the "LinuxMCE for your" in the bottom-left, but then it shuts down.

You are a god among men. thank you for catching this.

Im going to clean that up now.

After reviewing the logs provided (thank you again) you guys will need to remove your skins directory (to be sure) and then re-download the skins. I apologize very much for leaving the old 1004 reference out there and confusing people.

Im working on why its not giving me the name of the device at the moment as well, but thats more a vanity thing than a useful function. The Qt/JNI code to find the storage directories is seemingly working well.

-golgoj4

Also looking into why images aren't there.

Removed old skin directory, downloaded new one with correct link, and re-downloaded app just to be sure. Same issue unfortunately.

Im seeing some weird things relating to the media player on this. Need to investigate the cpu a little more. Doesnt appear to have a gpu which would limit it to no opengl, but that doesnt make sense for an Android 4.0 device...so please bear with me on that one.

Can you open this link? http://192.168.80.1/lmce-admin/skins/android/phone/qt5/default/Style.qml

it should open the style file on your core.

It seems that like some of the older android devices, some of the cheapie chinese devices have GPU issues with outright lying about what they can and can't do..same old story, huh?

Well the older devices get hacked by users its seems, which is understandable i kept my hp ipaq longer than it should have lived. The ones that come from OEM's it seems are a different story with all sorts of engineering trickery going. I noticed that it took a nosedive at trying to instantiate the standard video player classes, which is a big clue there is something custom going on. The situation with Qt5 demands opengl due to the way that its been implemented. To use QtQuick2 you need opengl. Otherwise its QtQuick1 which means Qt4 that can run in both opengl / non opengl contexts. I would more than likely rule out any attempt at bringing video to the device as well. I really wish they would stop making these damn things. But it is a challenge with a possible solution...
