New iOS app v3.5

Advertisements

You need the most recent software update to your Premiere. If you are on the priority list, that starts to roll out today. If you are not on the Priority list, I believe the end of the month.

Roamio Priority lists started late last week.

 

Ah, true. I've been on the latest software release since last week and I forget that others don't have it yet.

My bad

 

I'm talking about the iOS app update on my iPhone, not my DVR.

 

I just went into My Shows on the iOS app (phone and pad) and pressed the A-Z square. It sorted them just fine

I'm on the priority list so I suppose I should find out soon enough. I see you're a mixed household as well. My Roamio Basic that I can't download premium content from has had the update since last week.

New App bug - when I delete a program on my Roamio (from the App) it doesn't immediately go away in the App even though it goes away on the Roamio. The App requires a screen refresh. This may be coincidence, but right after I refreshed the program list in the App my Roamio spontaneously rebooted and dumped all of it's guide data and favorite channel settings. Thankfully the App shows all my programs are still there (confirmed) but I had to wait for all my guide data to reload and now must recreate my Favorites list.

 

It should be working when you try to download (in your home) from your updated Roamio... If you connect to your pre-update Premiere (in your home) it should still not allow the download.

You will not be able to perform the download connected remotely.

 

Hey guys just found something on the updated 3.5.1 app that was released today, if you go down to the bottom of Settings in the app and go to debug and then "Sensitive Settings" you can enable cell streaming. I tried it and it works.

 

There's an option to "allow video out" as well. I wonder if these were left in my mistake?

ETA: There are settings like "remote premium sideloading" and "direct stream" and other things that we have never been allowed to have before.

Was the debug menu ever visible before?

 

Dunno, there are a lot of settings and options in that debug menu that I honestly am a little afraid to touch lol.

I honestly don't remember the debug menu being visible before, I mean I would think that if it had been then it woulda been discovered and people woulda been talking about it already, especially the cellular streaming setting and the settings you've already mentioned.

 

FWIW, I turned on remote premium sideloading and it still doesn't work over cellular.

 

It won't work over cellular based on release notes

 

I know it isn't supposed to. But they left the debug menu turned on. I have access to dozens of settings that I shouldn't have.

 

Well now, that is interesting - isn't it?

 

Just played around with the debug menu settings - was able to stream via cellular and also able to airplay to my apple tv (via screen mirroring). Interesting stuff - wonder how long until the app is updated to 'fix' this.

 

Hahahaha.... I can confirm this as well. Although I don't have 20.4.6 so turning on either sideloading option doesn't seem to do anything.

Seems to support direct play for OOH streaming, you just have to configure the app and your router to pass the ports. VERY INTERESTING.

 

I would think pretty quick. It's obvious they accidentally released a debug/beta version of the app. That or they were just rushing to get the fix out.

 

Let's not forget that the Stream software still has to be updated to support the Premuim Content features so any settings related to it would be falling on deaf ears on a Stream that doesn't recignize the settings yet.

 

I can confirm that video out works both on a wired connection and via AirPlay to an AppleTV. Also, cellular streaming works. Since the app is a universal binary, it works on both iPhone and iPad.

You just need to turn these two things on:



However, I would assume they will remove the debug menu in the next update, which they are probably scrambling to upload right now.

 

That doesn't mean you have to "upgrade" your app when they do though!
