So Splahtop has rolled out an update for the computers and I saw an update for my iPad (Splashtop 2). The computer says in order for the update to work, Splashtop 2 is required on your mobile device. Has anyone updated splashtop on their computers? I haven't yet and was wondering if it would work with the PlayBook version since Splashtop 2 for the PlayBook isn't available just yet.
I just finished installing Slaphtop Streamer 2 on my Laptop (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit).
So far no problems with the PB version connecting to Slpashtop Streamer 2.
I only tested it for a few minutes using Hulu and Netflix. The frame rate / sync seems to be better than the previous version (1.7.5.6). I still need to test it remotely to check out performance.
Ok Thanks... then it seems that there will be no harm in updating splashtop streamer. I don't know why they gave the initial message that I will need splashtop 2 fot the streamer to work. Thanks again
I updated. Can't really tell any difference. I think the PC streaming application upgrade may have been a performance / feature upgrade for different Splahstop remote platforms (i.e. iPad) vs. any improvement for PlayBook users.
Nevertheless, it works fine.
Did anyone have trouble with the login on the streamer? I made an account but cannot login :s
You got farther than me I cannot even make an account
I upgraded Splashtop Streamer on my home and work computers (Win7 & WinXP respectively) to Splashtop 2. After upgrading, I noticed certain keys and keystrokes no longer function or function correctly.
Here are the problems that I've found so far:
Problem #1: After connecting to the remote computer, Ctrl+Alt+Del works for accessing the logon prompt. However, after typing in the password the "Enter" key no longer works. I have to manually use the mouse pointer to click the "OK" button.
Problem #1a: After taking a closer look, I noticed that both the Enter key and the Backspace key actually add additional characters in the pasword field... WTH?
Problem #2: Using the keystroke Windows Key+L to lock the computer before disconnecting no longer works. Instead you have to use Ctrl+Alt+Del and manually click the "Lock Computer" button.
Problem #3: I also can no longer to connect to my home PC. It looks like it's going to connect, but then errors out saying "Connection Lost". If I connect from within my home network, it connects immediately and works normally.
NOTE: Splashtop suggested that I enable the "Internet Discovery" feature using my GMAIL account. I wish this was the fix! Unfortunately, Internet Discovery was already setup and shows a status of "Logged On".
I loved Splashtop v1 because EVERYTHING worked well....ALL keys and keystrokes. Splashtop v2 now makes it rather kludgy.
I really hope they fix this soon! This new version is a major disaster for the PlayBook version!!
Has anyone else found similar problems that they can add to this list?
