Seen as notifypro connects through the IP, when my IP randomly changes, notifypro stops getting through to XBMC and I have to manually change the IP settings in the notifypro app.

Is there any way around this? Could a feature be included to automatically detect the XBMC server on my network?

Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks johoja for an amazing app!!

jackmeehan Wrote:Oh and a feature suggestion - When receiving an SMS, if there was an option to show to the recipient but hide the text body that would be great. I think alot of people would like this feature also.

Anyway, keep up the great work

jackmeehan Wrote:Thanks for your reply.

Would that be Address Reservation? If so, that's perfect thanks very much!

johoja Wrote:There is an anonymize..but that will hide both the recipient, and the body.

jackmeehan Wrote:Also, on the first page you have written "Have An option to pause playing media on incoming call.(johoja) (replace with eventghost support)"

Does this mean you are scrapping the idea of pausing playback on incoming call?! That was one of the major selling points for me.

johoja Wrote:Well....not scrapping....different approach. There's no point for my app to do everything, when there's programs out there that already control every minute detail of xbmc...i.e) EventGhost. Also..the LESS my app does is better...as long as the Event is sent...the PC should handle propogating it to whereever it should go...the iPhone is afterall a small device limited by its power, etc. So adding 20 hosts to send events too, etc wouldn't be a good use of this app. Send one or two events to where they should go..i.e) Growl..or EventGhost.. and then Growl can forward it to wherever it needs to go...In fact...if you just have.

I can send an event to EventGhost....and you can tell EventGhost to decide waht to do...it's pretty easy...its all drag and drop...i.e) For a call event...you would drag and drop...lets say...Pause XBMC...or...Turn Volume down...etc..very cutomizable...the main part is though me adding support for EventGhost.

Sure..you have to setup EventGhost then...but..its not that hard..and its completely configurable, and its free and has XBMC support out of the box I believe.

And once EventGhost has the event I send it...the posisbilites are pretty cool...it has full control over the PC, and if you have an automated house...(not that I do..but you could even turn the lights on etc...)

I'll also be adding stuff ...on Call End send an event to EventGhost...then you can tell EventGhost to ...press play for you...

If you REALLY want..I can add an option to Pause on XBMC... like I orginally promised..But I think this approach covers you pretty well....no?

jackmeehan Wrote:Yes when it's explained like that it is a very good approach, even if it takes the extra time to setup eventghost.

Would it be possible for, say for example, IF music is playing ON call in THEN lower volume, and IF video is playing ON call in THEN pause. and the same for call end. etc. Do you think that would be a good idea?

At the end of the day, I think some sort of feature that allows video or music to be paused or lowered automatically during a call would be a major selling factor of your application.
