Initial Droid Notes:
Fios router hardwired to XMC
Galaxy Tab
Power button works for Off but not On. Kinda makes sense as the XMC isn't connected yet?
Volume slider works well but BE CAREFUL! Quite sensitive.
Trim sliders do not work but arrows do.
Speaker preset change does not work for me.
I'll add as I discover more.

Thread Stickied!!!
Now that I've had a little time to play with the App, I've noticed that there up/down or left/right arrows(depending on the orientation of your iPad) for incremental volume change. The slide between the arrows is very instantaneous when using it to change the volume, so just a warning as you can go from vol -96 to +11 instantaneously.

Works very well on my iPad, no issues. I like the layout also, but be careful of the volume slider as has been pointed out. Very sensitive.

Most everything seems ok...except for the one item I needed to work....Zone 2 volume. Installed on both iPhone 6 and iPad Air2, both with iOS 9.0.1. Can't get Zone 2 volume to work on either device. Is it just me? Maybe I'm just not holding my mouth right  Ray Update: Firmware V 3.1 has resolved this issue for me. All works as expected now. NICE! R |

One thing I've noticed in general with the Apps however, is that the 'hot spot' on some of the buttons is pretty small. So if you tried to use the arrows to raise and lower Z2 volume it's easy to miss. (Carefully) try the slider, it works very well, though as some have mentioned they can be sensitive. |

I've tried everything I can think of...reboots all around including XMC (iPad in landscape and portrait, iPhone only seems to have portrait). No joy. Everything else seems to work 'reasonably' well. The response time on some things isn't optimal, but at least you can make stuff work. Z2 volume just doesn't work at all on the iPhone. On the iPad I can grab the slider and it moves...sometimes it will turn the XMC up a few db if i hold it up...sometimes not. Buttons on the iPad never work. I was never able to get it much louder than -35...and that took holding the slider all the way UP for a minute or so. WAY too scary to try with an active input. Turning it DOWN once its up almost seems to work...but it's really flaky. Z1 volume is smooth and works pretty much as expected. Although I wouldn't suggest holding down an arrow. There seems to be some amount of lag or buffering at times and the XMC will 'catch up' to your commands after you have released the arrow. Tapping works great. Anyone else?

Ray I'm going for another guess here. If you've happened to see the thread about the Harmony remote and the new command set, you may have noticed there are some Zone 2 problems with IR too. Essentially, some XMC-1's have a problem processing some of the new XMC-1 Zone 2 commands, and although I didn't think Z2 volume was one of the problems, I also remember one of the App threads were he was having problems with it. Emotiva has duplicated the problem and is working on a fix, I'm guessing the problem may extend to both IR and IP, and that this app uses the new commands. If that's the case you'll have to wait for the fix. |

I keep mine in power sucking mode and it starts up with the ap. Cold Boot after shutting down through the app. I don't use the video always on function the pass through does not work for me. Hoping that would be fixed with 3.1 but from the feedback we've heard here probably not. |

If you look at the screen shots I posted, the first shot in each post is the opening screen. Do you see "XMC-1" inside the silver box like my pics show? This means the remote found your XMC-1. If the silver box is empty then you probably have a network communication problem. Finding your XMC-1 on the network is the 'pairing', nothing you have to do except make sure your XMC-1's network connection is good and that your iPhone / iPad / etc. is on the same network. Edit: Once you get your network issues sorted out, press the 'Refresh' button to have the App look again for an XMC-1 on the network. I see XMC-1 inside the silver box but none of the controls work and the "OLED" box is empty. iPhone version. |

I'm not sure how the current firmware could cause issues on some boxes and not on others. Furthermore...why would critical codes be altered midstream. Hasn't Emo had enough issues in the past? Hard to imagine they would fork control codes. If they wanted to make a change, it would seem logical to implement it across the board as they roll out firmware. But what do I know?

Furthermore...why would critical codes be altered midstream. Are you using the original XMC-1 Harmony codes, or the new ones I described in the other thread? If you're using the older codes, you wouldn't have any problems, but you'd have fewer capabilities. I think this app is using the IP version of the new codes, which is why there are new problems. Rereading your description, I'm not sure this is the problem, I don't think the iPhone would work and the iPad not if you had the firmware problem. I'm sure we'll learn more about this App, and the new firmware may cleanup some issues. |

The versions on both my iphone and ipad do not seem to work. When I open them, I see a blank page with "Selected XMC-1" appearing on it, but there are no XMC-1s in the provided spaces to select, even when my XMC-1 is turned on on. By the way, my XMC -1 is connected to my router with an ethernet cable, and my iphone and wifi are on the same network. Hitting refresh does nothing for me. I see an image like the first one in AudioHTIT's last post, except that my XMC-1 is not selected. I wish someone can tell me what I am not doing right... Are there any pairing instructions somewhere? I do remember that certain remotes need to be paired with their corresponding component. If you look at the screen shots I posted, the first shot in each post is the opening screen. Do you see "XMC-1" inside the silver box like my pics show? This means the remote found your XMC-1. If the silver box is empty then you probably have a network communication problem. Finding your XMC-1 on the network is the 'pairing', nothing you have to do except make sure your XMC-1's network connection is good and that your iPhone / iPad / etc. is on the same network. Edit: Once you get your network issues sorted out, press the 'Refresh' button to have the App look again for an XMC-1 on the network. AudioHTIT: I read you loud and clear, but there is no "XMC-1" inside the silver box, sadly. I have tried again since returning from work, but no joy. I initially thought it was a problem of my router settings, because about a month ago, I was trying to set up an extra logitech harmony hub to use with my IOS devices, and none of those devices could connect with the 2nd hub, even though my main Harmony Ultimate and its hub were connected and working fine... One entry on the Logitech Harmony trouble shooting guide suggested then that I might have "IP Isolation" enabled in my router, which might be blocking some wireless connections from being made. Well, today, I finally logged into the router, and found that "IP Isolation" is actually disabled in the router, as it should be. Also today, my IOS devices have successfully connected their logitech harmony apps with the 2nd hub, each at the very first try... So it would seem the network connection issue I thought I was having a month ago were either non-existent or they have somehow resolved themselves, and now this! By the way, the IP address specs that my XMC-1 seems to have assigned itself appear to be distinctly out of whack when compared to those of other devices on my network that are working well: as in: XMC-1 (Connected via ethernet) IP address : 62.0.0.0 Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0 DNS 1 8.8.8.8 DNS 2 : 208.67.222.222 Gateway: 0.0.0.0 As I have mentioned, none of the above numbering pattern looks normal when compared with those on my other properly networked devices: e.g. Apple TV (Connected via Wifi) IP Address: 192.168.1.158 DNS : 192.168.1.1 Router: 192.168.1.1 Mac mini (Connected via ethernet) IP address: 192.168.1.87 Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.1.1 The numbers on the Apple TV and Mac Mini all look quite familiar and normal. Those on the XMC-1 do not, and I cannot understand why. The XMC-1 manual suggests power cycling the modem and router when DHCP is enabled when one cannot find a connection. I have done that, and no joy! I wonder whether power cycling or resetting the XMC-1 to factory defaults might help. It seems to me that a call to Emo is in my near future unless I can figure this out by myself. Oh, and that "figuring out" better be soon, because I am one of those who have still not run my Dirac full software yet, and I cannot imagine being able to do that if my network cannot recognize the XMC-1. By the way thanks for your help. |

It might be worth mentioning that in the first screenshot the word "XMC-1" is shown if your XMC-1's name is "XMC-1" which is the default. If you changed the name (in the menu settings) then the changed name will appear on the screen. Understood, but I did not change the default "XMC-1" name, and nothing appears in the box, as I have mentioned. |

By the way thanks for your help. Yes, your XMC-1 is not on the network, the basic things are cable and DHCP. - Does the XMC-1 say "DHCP Enabled" under Setup > Network (DHCP box checked)? - Where does your XMC-1's network cable plug in? Is it connected directly to your DHCP server (usually your router), or through a switch connected to your router. - Since you know the AppleTV and Mac mini work can you take the network cable from them and plug it into the XMC-1, or are they both wireless? - You must have a wired connection to the XMC-1 so that's likely what you need to work on, does any other wired equipment work? You're right, Dirac won't work either until you get this sorted out. You'll get it. |

I've successfully tested all the Zone 2 functions on both iPhone and iPad. One thing I've noticed in general with the Apps however, is that the 'hot spot' on some of the buttons is pretty small. So if you tried to use the arrows to raise and lower Z2 volume it's easy to miss. (Carefully) try the slider, it works very well, though as some have mentioned they can be sensitive.
