HTC TV app broken with sense 5.5 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded 5.5 this week. It seems the TV remote control app is broken.
When selecting your area and TV content provider ie freeview or virgin, it ask you if you can receive channel 60. I selected NO and from there on it only shows two channels in my list. BT Sports 1&2
If I select yes to receiving channel 60 it gives me BBC1 north, ITV Anglia and a load of irrelevant regional tv.
Anyone else found this?

I said yes to it as well just to let me though to the app. Problem is, many of the channel numbers are now out of sync. Channel 8 in my area says BBC Alba. Thats not even on Freeview!
I just called HTC (i don't know why!) i knew they wouldn't care let alone even understand what this issue is..
Anyway.. The response? yep.... you guessed it... a factory reset!!
I tried to explain its nothing to do with the set up of my phone, it more to do with the incorrect data being pulled from the server.
Shame as I used to use this a lot. It was one of the things that kept me from jumping to the LG G2

I've just had a tinker and the whole tv app seems to be a total mess.
Question, has anyone got a full working version of the HTC TV Remote app on sense 5.5?

[APP] myMedia WP7

Hi all,
myMedia WP7 has recently been released on the marketplace. myMedia WP7 is a TVersity client that allows you to stream music and video (and view pictures) from your TVersity server to your WP7 device.
The server handles all the transcoding (if required), so all videos formats are playable on your phone. For Tversity to properly identify your WP7 device you need to update the included profiles file. Instructions and the profile is available from here http://www.gordonhome.info/?p=198
myMedia WP7 has a fully functional trial mode (ad-supported) or is $1.99 US for the non-ad version.
You can get is here (Zune link) http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=27cacd23-1e94-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8
A video of it in action

Please post app recommendations in WP7 General.

Sounds cool. When I have a bit of time to setup Tversity, I think I will give this a go!
I already had TVersity and DynDNS installed (for separate reasons) so I set up myMedia and it works flawlessly both over my home network and from the external address.
Very nice, I can confirm the trial is fully functional & works flawlessly once you have TVersity & DynDNS (Needed if you don't have a static External IP, which most ISP's don't use) setup.
Could you explain setup using dns a little more? Also, should you not need to use a dns ip if you're just trying to use tversity with mymedia wp7 on your home network (connected through wifi)? Thanks.
Ok, got it working on home network. Now just trying to get it set up with port forwarding and using dns server.

Yes, you don't need to use a DNS service on your home network (or if your ISP provides a static IP address). You just put in the IP address of your tversity server.

It doesn't appear in the drop down settings (that's not what the profile does), it's automatically detected based on browser strings. The Mango Beta has thrown a spanner in the works by changing the browser string so WP7 is no longer automatically detected.
I've submitted an updated version to the marketplace that lets you force tversity to use a specific profile. By choosing this option and putting in the profile GUID (it defaults to the GUID of the WP7 profile I provide), you can force tversity to use whatever profile you want regardless of the auto detection.
Hi,
unfortunately this update did not resolve the issue.
It seems to recognize it as a Windows Phone 7 now, but Tversity is telling me: Error - Could not strart transcoding for file://.................avi
nevermind that, fixed, all working ! thanks !!!!!!!!!!
I got everything running but when I try to play a movie it gives an error... ''Sorry, can't play this file''... Or something like that...
Any ideas...?
I'd like a new icon for this app.

It's not transcoding the file
1. Did you install the profile?
2. If so, is the device being identified as a WP7 device?
3. If you're using Mango, turn the force profile detection on in the settings page.

I did that and it was a bit laggy...
Then and played aroun and found the best settings in my case...
Media Playback Device: WMV9 Video Device.
Leave the IP address blank
I have turned off HTTP Proxy.
On the Transcoder Tab
When To Transcode: Always (Important)
Mine is set to Decrease Bitrate if its too high for my network
And ticked Use DirectShow for Windows Media Encoding and choose Windows Media Video 9 in the drop down menu...
Now everything works fine in Mango...

If that's the type of 'constructive' feedback you offer to developers, then I'm sure your feedback is ignored.
'I'd like a new icon for this app' is not constructive and provides no insight into what you feel is wrong with the current icon, or what could be done to improve it. Not only that, the tone of the post is arrogant and rude.
Most developers would ignore comments like those. Fortunately I don't make my living off this type of stuff so I can say what I want, how I want. In general, I'm courteous and will do everything to help out a user and work through any issues they have. On occasion, I'll talk to people in the same manner they chose to address me.
For anyone who wants to suggest genuine features or has requests for changes, I'm happy to listen. In fact, I've made a number of additions and changes based on user feedback.
I've also spent significant time assisting users setup tversity so they get the best experience using the app.
Peew971, in order to avoid feeling disappointed in future, I'd reconsider how you leave 'feedback'.

BellPego,
Glad you got it streaming for you. Just a note though, that if you use those settings and have other devices it'll also affect playback on those devices.
Personally, my settings are
Mediaplayback Device
Automatic
Transcoder
Only when needed
decrease bitrate
Windows Media Encoder
Tick use directshow
Windows Media Video 9
Optimization
Quality
Compression
Average
When you insert the WP7 profile into the TVersity profiles.xml file (this will automatically be included in the next build of TVersity), and in Mango turn on the force profile detection, it will detect that the device is a Windows Phone 7 and transcode accordingly.

Wow, I said "I'd like a new icon for this app", not one more word. What is it I should reconsider, was I disrespectful to you or your work? Alright I just typed a quick sentence from my phone and didn't elaborate but I didn't deserve that sarcastic answer of yours.
I've been praising your app to friends and users here and elsewhere and that's how you address me because I said "I'd like a new icon for this app"?! This takes me back to those bad times with Dinik on the HD2 forums, talented guy but I couldn't force myself to support his work anymore after some odd posts of his.
Just... wow.

Anyone from Canada and cannot download the Google Music Manager for N7?
I am trying to download the program but no matter what I can't do it because I am not from the United States. Anyone able to give suggestions on how I can do it? There was a Tor Project walkthrough, but with the corrent Tor verison, I couldn't get it to work.

I use Tor and have had struggles with it sometimes. The trick is to refresh and start again I think. Once you have it working, don't touch it!

I have tried to follow the Tor re-routing, but every time I make the change, it gives me an error saying "tor no specified exit routers"
I would have to re-install the program. Everytime I open Tor Browser, and use IP Addres Locator it tels me the IP addres is in Iran, I haven't been lucky enough to have an IP addres from the US when I start up.
Did you have any instructions on how to use Tor in order to manage a US IP Address?

Beyond that, everything I have done has been trial and error so probably wouldn't help you.
Have you tried using the market enabler app to change the location that market uses? This usually works for me, when I want to install a location dependent app.

If you've got this far, you'll be fine now. The only time Google checks your location (as far as Music is concerned) is during sign-up and when you try and purchase music. For browsing and playing from your library online, and for playing your library on your device, there are no location checks.
I've been using Music on my Sensation for 6 months or so
In the UK here, used tor to spoof my IP, just keep refreshing and trying
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'm in Canada as well.
Months ago, I used a simple Chrome extension called "Stealthy" to spoof my IP. Basically, a click or two and I was done. And, as someone else mentioned, after you've signed up there's no more ip checks so I have that extension disabled.
Of course, you won't get the "My Music" tab if you visit Play from your PC. But, no problems if you go to the music url directly.
Hi, my Google Music Manager has stopped working over the last few days, the program won't open or get past a screen that says it cannot get an internet connection. I wondered if any other UK users had the same issue ?. I've tried disabling anything on my setup that might be blocking it, and haven't changed anything before this happened. It's frustrating because I was loving using it on my Nexus 7. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm baffled. Thanks.
Same problem here my Google Music Manger wouldn't connect to internet...
Any Solution.......
I'm still stuck, I've been talking to an english technology journalist who says he is still uploading okay, have spent many late nights this week on this, but totally baffled. It can't be a widespread problem else the forums would be full of chatter about this.
I've gotten round this by installing Ubuntu alongside my Windows XP installation and installing the Linux version of Google Music Manager - and it works !. If you look in the log file for Windows Google Music Manager mine is moaning about Root Ca Certificates and being unable to find an iTunes folder (well it's wasting it's time looking for that one). At least my Nexus 7 is slowly filling with music now.
Same problem with me too. It just says to check internet connection. :|
Then I tried it in Ubuntu but no luck there too.

I have tried installing music manager on my old computer and it connects fine using the same network. Both using windows 7 64bit. Leads me to think its something with my current computer setup that is the problem. Hard to pinpoint though.

You can't purchase music outside of the US. The steps required to use Play Music only give you the cloud service. You'll have to buy your music elsewhere for now.

You need a valid US address (hint: find one on a real estate site ). Then you must set this as your default address and billing address (with your normal credit card).. Then you can buy music. I've bought a few albums much cheaper than Aussie music sites. Oh, you also need to be on a US VPN to actually purchase music too.
Google have now fixed this. Just uninstall the program from your pc and redownload it from Google Music, the new version is working perfectly for me.

[Q] any good replacements for SenseTV

(once again, this time within the right sub-category )
For the moment, i am completely free of any Sense-Apps, except SenseTV. As i really would like to get rid of Sense completely in the near future, i wonder if there's any app that could substitute what SenseTV does at the moment. I really like the idea of browsing the current TV program and just click on the channels name for switchting the TV to it. I know that OtrtA can send custom IR-Codes via URI-Call, so i'd just need some kind of TV Guide that lets me configure a specified action for clicking on the channels (or shows) name. Any ideas?

[HTML5 App]Cast local media from Google Chrome to Chromecast with playlist support

Hi,
I have created a small html5 app that allows playing of local media on Google Chrome with playlist support. The Chrome tab can then be cast to Chromecast. This helps me play the huge collection of YouTube videos I have in my computer, on Chromecast. Just thought I'll put it on here for anybody that might find it useful.
Steps to use:
1. Open Google Chrome and go to sidscast . com
2. Browse for folder or files (Audio/Video) to add to playlist.
3. Play
4. Cast tab to Chromecast
Audio/Video Formats suppported: MP4, MP3, Wav, WebM and Ogg
Playlist support: Yes
Thanks!
Sid
Sounds promising! I'll try it when have a chance.

Works fine on Ubuntu....with Chrome
Been looking for something simple to allow playlists for chromecast....this works fine. Thanks
Works perfectly w/ windows 8.1 in chrome. This solved a very irritating limitation of existing casting software.
Thank you

You sir, deserve more recognition. This is beautiful. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this, works really great for streaming my local MP3 files.
Question, would it be possible in a future update to support:
1) displaying embedded album art from the streaming song
-or-
2) specifying a directory of images that can be cast to display while the mp3 is streaming.
Would be great if it can cast photos.
Amazing, the first thing I tried worked. But I'm curious why this can't be run locally, couldn't you make a browser app? They have them, but none work. Not even Videostream (They say it's my network when I have no AV, no firewall, the ports forwarded in my router, and friends who can't get it to work more often than whenever the hell it wants).
You don't mention anywhere, so I'm curious just what info gets passed back and forth between me and your server while I'm using this.

Hey man, Videostream guy here. Is it just never playing the video?
The difference is how this uses the Cast Extensions tab casting method (WebRTC) instead. All you need to do, to do the same thing without this app, is drag and drop the video in to Chrome.
Our app needs TCP port access to your computer, in order to send the raw video data to your Chromecast.
Now, there's no reason why you should have been left hanging like this. If you like you can forward me your emails and I can look into why our support f'd up so hard. This is an easy fix. I can also do a remote desktop with you whenever you like and we can get this solved, asap.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I've been getting replies, for sure (The replies come from freshdesk, signed Rahul Kayaith), but pretty much been given the idea that it's my problem, when I can reset literally every device on my network and it still not work (I even went so far as to open the ports in my router since he made it seem like the traffic needs to pass between their servers and my computer). I'm using literally no antivirus or firewall, just Windows Defender, I've added Chrome as an exception to Defender's scans, and my network is private/home. The app hasn't worked for me at all for a couple weeks now, when previously it worked intermittently. The port fix tool has never worked, not once since I got the Chromecast. (Before it quit working altogether, it would work seemingly whenever it felt like it. Nothing that I did on purpose seemed to work)
My friend has 3 Chromecasts, uses antivirus and spyware software, a different router/modem, and a different computer. The only thing we have in common is Windows 8.1, Chrome, the Videostream app. He says it also works only intermittently. I just don't see that the problem is on either his network or mine!
I did figure out that I could "save" the SidsCast page locally and run it and it works, so I don't need to worry about what's being sent to his server, and it's working with most types of video, but not all, so I have to be careful what I "acquire," but still more reliable than Videostream has been!

(I run Windows 8.1 too)
Yeah those are the generic fixes we give to people, Rahul is our local support guy we have working with us as an intern . Your router really shouldn't have anything to do with this.
What you could do is check (Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Customize Settings) , or in your "Windows Firewall" settings go to "Turn Windows Firewall on or off" on the left, and make sure "block all incoming connections" is NOT checked on Public or Private.

My firewall is set to "off." I never use it, nor any third party firewall or AV. I've run through all of this with Rahul, at least since some time in March. And opening the ports in my router was just, let's say, a last-ditch effort to figure out the problem, since nothing else has worked.

Oh joy! I didn't think people were using it and finding it useful! Well, although I know this is a very late reply, but I'll answer anyway. There is no server. It's all client side. The only thing that it needs a connection to the internet for, is the ads at the side. So you can very well just have it work without an internet connection after the initial load. There's no data collection or anything of that sort.

Xperia Z3C Live on YouTube Unable To Sign In

Hi there. Been using the Z3C all week and really enjoying it, but I've found one persistent problem with one of the built-in apps and am hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction for getting a fix.
I'm unable to get the Live On YouTube camera app (v 01.00.21) to sign in to my Google account. Firing up the app, I get the page requiring me to read and accept the terms and conditions of use. Fine, accepted. I then get the popup outlining the permissions - no problem, accepted. After this message disappears, I get a few seconds of the "loading" animation and then a popup tells me "Your YouTube account does not have the necessary permissions to create a live stream. Want to change your permissions now? ||No|Yes||".
When the error first occurred it was right enough - logging into YouTube on desktop I was able to establish that I didn't have live streaming enabled but despite now having enabled it, the camera app still returns the error saying my account doesn't have the necessary permissions. If I hit "Yes" it loads a YouTube URL and now when I land on the site there's a popup saying "You are already enabled for this feature".
I've tried wiping all the Live On YouTube application data via settings, I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, but I keep getting hit with this error.
Can anyone suggest anything else I might want to try to get this feature working? Or does anyone have a suggestion of a better place to ask the question if it doesn't belong in this forum?
I can get mine working or at least set up ok, however, upon trying to run the option I just get a 'Creating Live Event' dialogue that stays on forever.
Its rather annoying I can do a share to my social media network of choice, so people can get to the right web page to see my live event, I just can't seem to get the phone to actually start streaming, despite setting up youtube ok. Has anyone yet managed to do a youtube live broadcast from their phone, and if so, can they detail what they did please.
I had this issue too. It was because I had 2 youtube profiles on my google account, so I enabled Live permissions on both profiles, and it worked.

We have a winner!
I was using YT under my original username, not realising that this meant my G+ identity had a whole separate profile on YT. Switched over to the "real name" profile and found live streaming wasn't enabled there. Enabled it and Robert is now my father's brother.
Fixed! Thanks very much.
How about the 'Creating Live Event' dialogue that stays on forever. Do you have that or does your stream ok.

Hi techguyone, the first time I tried it I got your message for a few seconds before it came back with an error message saying "unable to create live event". When I retried I got your message again for another few seconds before it appeared to work. I'm still waiting on the processing, but both the "failed" event and the longer test are now visible in my uploads, even if I can only currently view the (very short) failed one.
It looks like it's going to work for me.
Have you tried the old clearing-out-the-app-data-via-settings trick already?
Mine worked eventually, but its still kinda clunky, interestingly enough I found the other live app (Facebook one) to work straight away, and was a lot easier. I think I'll be using Facebook over Youtube in the future for any impromptu streaming.
This worked for me...
What I did is that I clicked on the avatar in the upper left corner of the screen,and scrolled down and signed out,and the signed in again with one of my two existing youtube accounts,and accepted all the terms and everything again from the beggining....Then I pressed the record button, it took a while to create an event,but it actually started the live streaming!!!!! :
