I've been trying to get support for my iphone app and streaming TV with remote potato but haven't had any replies, is this a dead app for support?
Can anyone on here help with the iphone app?

pretty sure it's dead. It went open source a while back and the original dev quit working on it.

That's a pity as it shows great prospects!
Can anyone help me with a streaming problem? The debug log suggests the transcoding is working fine but for some reason it stops sending for a several seconds between blocks when connected via 3G to my iPhone 5. Speed testing from both ends suggests the connection speed should be ok.
When it stops there are no messages on the phone or in the server logs to suggest something has gone wrong.

And in case anyone's still watching the iPad version works fine whereas the iPhone version doesn't, same mobile network, same location.
Guess that points to a buggy iphone app...

I found AirVideo to be the best streaming app for Apple devices. Highly recommend it.
Then use Ceton Companion for setting recordings etc.

Does it play wtv files like Remote Potato does (which turned out not to be dead BTW)?
