List of receivers it was tested and working on:
- DM500

Thanks to all people on Satelitski forum who tested.

For best results when searching (faster response time):
- don’t search while zapped on HD channels
- don’t search while recording
- don’t search while receiver’s web interface is open in web browser
- don’t search if you have other plugins running
- generally avoid anything that slows down your receiver

My experiences: on Enigma2 DM800 i've got 2-3 readings per second, on Enigma 1 DM500 i've got up to 30 readings per second!

Download from Android Market

Nice looking app, but i cant install it on my LG 2X. It says that my device is not supported.lol.

[shax]

Are you running modified or original ROM?

[Taykun345]

Modified, but i dont have problems with other apps. It would be nice if someone would provide .apk file!

[shax]

Providing APK file will not actually fix the problem.

As far as i can understand it's a "feature" by Google that "recognizes smartly" application dependenices and resolves them.
I assume this is caused by Android v4 compatibility library used in application.
2 other users with modified LG 2X reported similar problems.

Some proposed solutions are:

1. Change LCD density back to stock (requires reboot).
2. Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> all -> Market -> force stop, clear cash and data.
3. Reboot. Changes won't show up until reboot.

and

the new Market update (v3.1.3) that was pushed a few days after my previous post now stops me installing / updating via the phone as well. I disabled the market auto-updater and reverted to the previous version (2.3.3) - the older market is faster and looks better anyway in my opinion. I still have to search for the missing apps, but at least they install now.
pm disable com.android.vending.updater (or freeze using Titanium backup etc).

Settings -> Apps -> Manage -> All -> Market -> Uninstall Updates

And here's video of the application in action

[kaneguru]

thx. but i didn´t understand why i should have coins?. i cann´t stream without this coins.

[shax]

@kaneguru
Stream is a "extra" function that requires some actions to be performed.

New version 0.13 is on the market

- bug fixes
- device compatibility issues
- should be (hopefully) seen and available on Android Market on all devices
- optimization for small heap size devices (16 mb)

If someone is willing to translate this app to other languages (shouldn't take more than 20 mins), let me know.

Regards.

Will do for Dutch (if needed).

[shax]

That would be great
All languages are most welcome! (Except existing ones English, Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian)

You can download XML resource file HERE to serve you as a starting point.
Just make sure it's stays encoded as UTF-8 (Notepad ++ would do).

Thanks.

[Rob van der Does]

Will do. I presume the text between >....< must be translated?
Where do you want me to send the file?

[Rob van der Does]

Dutch translation attached.

Please, PM me with your personal details to be included in release info.
Hopefully i'll find some time to make new version today.
Best regards.

Thank-you very nice

The coins crap spoils an otherwise excellent application

[Jahu]

Agree coins sucks, put a price on the app 0.49 euro, or free one with adds and let people choose, it won't hurt you.

[shax]

@Alias1 & @Jahu

I feel your pain. Nobody likes things like that, but things are bit different from my perspective

- I live in a country where it's not tehnically possible for me to sell the application
- using ads model is just not the right for this app. Ads should be used in applications used on regular basis, and how often you usually tune your dish
- using ads is taking valuable space on screen - and size does matter in this case
- with coins, once you get the feature, that's it, you'll never know it was there in the first place, even after reinstalling. With ads - you guess, they are always there
- stream and screenshot options are not main purpose of this app, tuning your dish is.

And in the end, I've spent two months developing the app, and don't think that asking people to give 20 minutes of their time ONCE to get EXTRA options (available freely in other apps) is unfair.

@SatKiekerd
Once again, thank you for your translation. I've included it in the new version 0.014 available on Android Market.

Other translations are most welcome.
