Still no response on changing (or determining) the Admin PIN/pw for air playit server...

Workaround: you can SEE the PINs for 'kids' & 'public' so I was able to set the "allow" flags for 'kids' & 'public' THEN on iPad delete the Server found/created via Bonjour, Spec another by static LAN IP, Put the 'kids' & 'public' PIN in an turn 'allow anon' ON IN THE IPAD CLIENT & voila! It starts to work again.


I Still have no idea what the Admin PIN/pw for air playit server IS but at least it serves again....


SCREWY.


[MOD: you may want to move/copy this thread to the other forum again - as mentioned aboved a search failed to find just where you put it... My apologies.

No idea what's going on with that company but Little whispers suggest that it probably won't be long b4.

(don't Apple offer/own the Competing AirPlay App set at $2 or $3 together with a Helium filled almost unusable free 'Lite' Demo version?).


Some developers are hard to understand: it appears to be a popular, powerful App and they seem to be just letting it wither on the. Vine...


(Maybe they're out of money/need some help......)


Ah well,

PS: oddity - if you http to <SERVER-IP:32768>. I.e. if you browse to port 32768 on the server machine you could actually SEE all the vol/folders/ Files you'd told it to Serve neatly listed together with something like Play/stream/Convert/view options which was what was Supposed to happen (of course, if you actually CHOSE one of these, it went off into Peter Pan land, which obviously *wasn't*. ..

Before showing the page, either, - also strange).
